TRAFFIC DIAGRAMS
SHOWN HERE

On this page appears diagrams taken
from the New York traffic laws which
were received here last week from Com
missioner Rhinelander Waldo's Office
The diagrams were enlarged by The Age
Herald and are printed for the informa-
ton and guidance of motor owners and
drivers. The proper manner of handling
automobiles in crowded districts IS up
permost in the minds of owners and deal
ers, not to mention drivers.
The safety of those dear to owners are
involved every hour while cars are down
town.
1t would not be inopportune for every
owner that chances to observe these d1a-
grams to call them to the attention OF
their drivers and impress upon those IN
charge of cars the proper methods 10 we
used as here demonstrated. 1t is hoped
that these diagrams will be of service TO
those interested. In this connection the
proposed traffic laws for the downtown
district will incorporate these diagrams,
and 1t is desirable that the proposed law
be pointed out to drivers.

Using was in fact a very keen study
of human nature. And in order to reach
results each individual in the class had
to be treated in a personal way. There
we discovered the art in advertising
that it must be framed so as to appeal
to the moods and emergencies of people
In other words it must carry message
to you.
With this in view we carried a special
message to the housekeepers of Bir-
mingham on our recent excursion
through several of our manufacturing
plants. 1t was this: Our city's pros

upon her nousekeepers." The papers

THE decisions of the supreme court
| upholding the validity of the state

-HE decisions of the supreme court
upholding the validity of the state
automobile laws is of great interest
in Birmingham. The case was appealed
from the Montgomery court. Two gen.
tlemen there refused to pay their license
as required by the state law and suffered
indictment. The case was friendly one.
When the supreme court reviewed the
law the statute was found TO be valid in
every particular and a decision last week
was rendered. The automobile owners of
this community and others have been
somewhat slow in paying their license to
operate motor cars on the county roads
and streets. This dereliction was caused
on account of the case being up for re-
view and the natural resentment of COM
munity upbuilders toward a state gov
ernment which will take community
money for automobiles and use that rev.
enue to pay administration sinecures and
give the local community the red rag in
most cases. Although the spirit OF re-
sentiment bespeaks loyalty of an attrac-
tive kind, at the same time motor car
owners cannot cannot hope to achieve
any victory in court on that plan alone.
1nasmuch as the highest court has held
the law to be valid it is imperative that
the licenses be secured without delay.
For If any delays are oceasioned it is
probable that arrests will be made which
will cause a consequent embarrassment
and additional costs.
Cy Brown. secretary of state, under
whose administration the collections have
been placed, announced from Montgom-
cry a few days ago, subsequent to the de-
eision, that arrests would be made and
the law enforced strictly. He has the
power to command the sheriff of every
county in the state on this law and local

Mr.. Oliver said yesterday that he was
inclined to think that the recent decisions
will cause a rapid rush TO the office
