there are other reasons behind the
movement.

RULES OF THE ROAD.

EhA EngIishmaD Turns to the Left, the
American to the Right
The ''ru1e of the road" is curious1y
different in different parts of the
Anglo-Saxon world. When, for in
stance, an American who is riding or
driving meets another rider or convey
Rnce on the road, he turns to the right
The Briton, on the contrary, turns to
the left. But if walking Briton meets
another pedestrian on the road or the
sidewalk, he turns to the right.
The rule of the road has become
crystallized in England into poetic
forms, one of which Is as follows:
The rule of the road is paradox quite;
For in driving your carriage along,
If you bear to the left you are sure to go
right.
If you turn to the right you go wrong.
But in walking the streets tbs a different
To the right it Is proper to steer:
On the left there should be enough OF clear
space
For the people who wish to walk there
Another reading of the same rule is
more epigrammatic:
The rule of the path,
To get well along
Is keep to the right"
And you cannot go wrong.
The rule of the road
Is paradox quite,
If you keep to the left
You are sure to be right
The requirement to turn to the left
Is a matter of statute law in Great
Britain, having been made part OF
the highway act of 1885 In the
United States, the exactly opposite
rule has been enacted into law in
several states, and in the other states is
so much a matter of common usage
that a driver who violates it is re-
sponsible for the damage caused by any
collision.
On the continent of Europe it is the
general rule to turn to the right. Turn
ing to the lefe seems to be an insular
popularity of the United Kingdom.
Why opposite rules should prevail in
England and in a part of the United
States which, like New England, de-
rived all its ordinary customs from old
England, is not clear, but the reason
for turning to the left is perfectly
plain. 1t is the custom, not only in
England, but in America. for the
driver to sit on the right side OF
the vehicle; and the driver who sits
thus can keep his wheel in view, and
also that or the passing conveyance,
much better if he passes to the left,
and keeps his right shoulder to the
other mans right shoulder.
The practice of turning to the right
when on foot is assumed to have grown
out of the necessity, in rude and VIC
lent times, of keeping free the hand
which must, in case of necessity, handle
the sword or other weapon. But this
conside ration must have applied to
horsemen as well as to pedestrians
It may be, therefore, that the prac-
tice of turning to the left with vehicles
has grown up since the times of peace
and security on the road have made
weapons unnecessary. In America we
may have preserved the earlier usage
of England itself, as has been the case
with other customs that have been
dropped there but carefully preserved
here.-Youth's Companion.
