HAZARDOUS CALLING

Accidents in the automobile field are
always played up to the limit in the
headlines, but when the season closed
and the long roll was called in the
training quarters comparatively few of
the drivers who started the season
were found missing Regrets for the
death of Billy Bourque were heard on
all sides. With this one exception all
answered present" with a smile. The
entire roll of serious accidents in the
hazardous calling would hardly com
pare in a parallel column with foot

compared to automobile competition,
which continues the season through.

Motoring Regulations

there as valid without further examina-
ton. The recognition of international
road certificates may be refused on the
following grounds:
l. If it be evident that the condi-
tions under which they have been
granted according to the principles laid
down in sections 1 and have not been
fulfilled
2. If the owner or driver of a motor
car be not a native of one of the con-
tracing states.
Position of Identification Numbers
No motor car shall be allowed to
pass from one country to another un-
less it display, at the back, in addi-
ton to the number plate of it's own
country, distinctive plaque bearing
letters establishing its nationality.
Warning Apparatus
Every motor car must be provided
with a deep-toned horn as a warning
signal. Outside large towns 1t is per-
misslble to use other warning signals,
In accordance with the regulations
and usages of the country. Every
motor car must be provided after dark
with two lamps capable of rendering
the plaques leglble. The roadway must
be Illuminated in front over an ade-
quate distance, but the use of daz-
zling lights is always prohibited in
town areas.
Meeting and Oveitaking Vehicle
When meeting or overtaking other
vehicles, drivers of motor cars must
vigorously observe the rules of the
road of the localities in which they
are.
Positions of Notice Boards
Each of the contracting govern
ments agrees to take precautions, as
tar as its authority permits, that there
shall only be erected as indications of
dangerous points the signs specified
in a schedule. Notifications may be
made in accordance with a general
understanding, by the governments of
the contracting states. To this sys-
TEN of signs it is possible to add
sign notifying a customs house and
ordering a halt, in addition to an
other sign indicating a toll house and
octroi. The governments will at the
same time endeavor to secure adher-
ence to the following principles:
First-Generally there is no occasion
to indicate by warning signs the dan
gerous points that are situated in
towns.
Second-The signs must be erected at
distance of about $50 m. from the
point indicated, unless the position OF
the place prevents. When the dis
tance of the sign from the dangerous
point varies in a marked degree from
25O m., special notifications are to be
made.
Third-Warning signs must be
erected perpendicularly to the road.

The Massachusetts highway commits
sion recently lectured the selectmen of
the town of Yarmouth in that state.
The occasion was the refusal of the
board to approve some local automobile
rules made by the Yarmouth people,
and in doing so the board took the
stand that the new state law made
ample provision for such cases as the
one under discussion. 1t is fortunate
that the board holds such views. A
return to the old system of local or
dinances would be a calamity. State
wide ordinances are little enough. They
fall short of the needs of motorists, and
should be replaced by a federal or
dinance.

New Engineer Commissioner
Surprises the District
Building.
Continued from First Page.)


Commissioners Capt. William Kelly and
Capt Edwin Markham.
The general outline OF the work of the
Engineer Department was the subject
of a short conference between Major
Judson and Daniel L. Garges, chief
clerk, after which the heads of the vari
Gus departments were presented to the
new Commissioner.
At 1880 Major hudson left for the
State. War, and Navy building to pay
his respects to Col. Z, Y. Abbot, Acting
Chief Engineer. and other officers with
whom he has been formerly associated.
Expeditions by Habit.
Upon suggestion that mis- arrival in
washington was somewhat unexpected
MAJOR Judson said that it is his habit to
do things as expeditiously as possible.
I concluded all my business in Mil
waukee as officer in charge of harbor
improvements on Lake Michigan, and
left at once for Washington My orders
transferring me TO the duties OF Ensi-
neer Commissioner were unlocked for,
but army officers become accustomed to
surprises of that sort.
The new Engineer Commissioner is
tall and OF commanding appearance.
somewhat resembling in facial outlines
his predecessor, Major Morrow. The i'm
preston created by him apon the Dis
uict officials was most favorable, and
all united in wishing him a successful
administration.
Others Welcome Him
Il was very glad to welcome Major
Judson and to give him my congratula-
tons upon his appointment" said Com
missioner Macfarland. The District is
also to be congratulated, as I am sure
that his administration will be most
successful.
My relations with the engineer Of
ficers connected with the District gov
ernment.' said Commissioner West,

! it is a pleasure to find in Major Judson
! On officer with whom my association
! promises TO be equally pleasant. He Is
| a man OF the right sort. and the citizens
