Because American cars are built

The vehicle consists of a Packard

The interior finish Is mahogany with

The special equipment includes In

In the period mentioned, motor car

we will never be able to reduce

vehicles-until we make and enforce

'Oh. yes. laughted the automobile

tions. most OF which tend to impede
traffic and 10 multiply the congestion
at busy points The idea in the
minds of our police commissioners
seems TO be that any regulation that

mo. | am not referring 10 Detroit.
We have better traffic regulations
here than In any other city | know
with the possible exception OF New
York. Even there they send vehicu-
lar traffic by roundabout ways at Her
ald-sq, Times-sq., and other points,
thus creating congestion at four or
five places instead of the original one.
But they do adopt the plan OF hurry
ing traffic past such points instead OF
slowing it up as is the custom in
most cities.

our Detroit officers take care OF in

'Bnt | did not mean TO refer to
traffic regulations of vehicles, we
have plenty of them such as they are
That is not the solution Automo
biles are increasing and will continue
to increase. Traffic will increase, and
street crossings become more and
more dangerous. The average bust
ness man covers three times the
ground in a day that he used to in
pre-motoring days. So there is three
times the traffic in our streets. despite
the fact that the rapid moving motor
vehicles would naturally have de-
creased the congestion were there
only one automobile TO replace each
horse-drawn vehicle OF former days.
The remedy is in proper traffic
regulations for ENTHUSIASTICALLY

lations and do enforce them rigidly
is the reason why there is a smaller
percentage of accidents In European
cities.
In this country we ray the pedes-
tran has the right-of-way. And in
principle that theory is right. Some
eminent thinkers protest that man
has the right to commit suicide if he
wants to-but our laws make the at

applies-or should apply--to traffic
regulations. We should protect the
