Good Roads Exhibits At StAto Fairs.
A novel feature with the Ohio State
fair this fall will be the exhibit Of
the highway department for which
very extensive preparations are now
being made by James r. Marker,
State highway commissioner and his
aides: and it is believed that their
efforts will result In q showing much
larger and more comprehensive than
heretofore.
This idea is most commendable;
and the Touring Club Of America
suggests that tho plan be adopted BY
the highway authorities OF other states
where similar fairs are to Be held
during the fall. There - no better
way for the road authorities to at
tract the attention Of road users, and
especially tho rural citizens. to the
splendid work being done BY theal
departments. Such exhibits would

Rules for Pedestrians.

There can be no doubt that there Is
a growing tendency toward iegisla-
tion to control the movements of Pc
destrians in the streets as well as of
motor vehicles and other traffic. The
automobilist has always made the
plant that careIessness on the part
of pedestrians has been responsible
for a large percentage Of the acct
dents which have aroused feeling
against automobiles.
The general attitude OF the man in
an automobile is that the pedestrian
is careless, and certainly he sees
enough In the course of an ordinary
days ride through city streets to
justify himself IN that belief. The
man in the street. however. regards
the automobilist as sort of wanton de-
stroyer who has no regard for the
feelings Of any one but himself
In several foreign countries there
are regulations in the prominent cities
which control the movements of pc
destrians In Vienna the police have
issued stringent regulations for those
who proceed on foot. They are re.
| CURED to keep to the footpath save
| when crossing the road, and in the
! latter case must walk In a direct line
| and take the shortest path. Those
| who do not follow instructions from
the policeman are liable to arrest ant
| a fine.
| In Germany and In France the pc
! destrian in the case of a street acct
| dent must show. that he was in thu
| right and IL he cannot prove that III
| was justihabIy in the way he Is sub
| ject to penalties. London has re
| Gently taken up the idea of regulat
| ing pedestrians, and to make 1T un
derstood by them that although tn
| pedestrian has the first right to tn
road. 1t does not mean that he has tn
last right and the whole right.
+ 1t is to correct this situation tina
efforts are being made and, as re
corded by Truth, taking the non
driving and the non-rfdtng member
OF the community through the KING
