European Traffic Officers Give
Mere Men Instructions in
How to "Navigate."

All over the United states and IN
many parts of Europe the traffic Of
ficers are trying to instill into the
minds of the pedestrian that he is not
by any means the alpha and omega
of city traffic. Furthermore, they are
trying to impress upon the pedestrian
that anything that regulates his erratlc
jumps and movements in the central
part of the street is for his own good.
In this connection II is interesting TO
note that Berlin has gone ahead and
passed an ordinance requiring the Pc
destrian to have some regard for the
rights of vehicles. The Berlin rules
provide that:
Pedestrians are to keep to the right
both on the pavements and on the road
way: any one who comes to a Standstlil
must choose a position where he is no
hindrance to passersby; all unnecessary
halting or lettering on the roadway re-
served to carriages, bicycles, and motor
cars is forbidden. This refers also 10
the crossing of the thoroughfare. streets
are to be crossed by the shortest way
that is to say, at right angles.
1t is recommended that the roadway
shall not be crossed at any point that
NAV be chosen at random. but at the
street corners. in order to have the
greatest regard for safety. At crossings
where police officials are on duty 10
regulate the traffic. pedestrians are TO
await the moment that the traffic has
been brought to Standstill before
crossing. The street will be. crossed
with a rapid step. though without I'M
due haste, SO that the drivers may
know how to direct their vehicles"

IT'S easily figured out when you look

comes from these baseball enthusiasts

His team is in California today. at

The logic us,u by Comlskey is both

an extraordinary success as a money

by these long spring training trips have
helped pack his park, even when his
team Is well down in the race. 1t ID
a notable fact that the citizens of Chi
