The attention of Magnate Tom Lowry IS
directed to the fact that it is almost an i'm

Cedar and Eighth streets, on the loop. Peo-
pie taking a stand on the further crossing"
the west side of Cedar street. as is customary
at all other crossings in the city, are waved

motoneer waved to him to cross to the east

stranger was left in the middle of the street.
