A SAFETY MEASURE.

The placing of a traffic policeman
at the busy corner of Market and Main
streets will mean a much greater de
gree of safety not only for pedestrians
crossing the street there but for auto
lists drivers and everyone who travels
tho down town streets. Commissioner
Rremhorst asks that the public CO.
operate by obeying the traffic regula-
tions which the officer is ordered to en-
force. These are very simple and once
known need cause no one 1nconveni'
ence while they will make the cross.
ing as safe as can be expected. All
the autoists and drivers of horse drawn
vehicles need do is to keep to the
right and stop when so ordered Dy the
officer. That is the whole secret. The
officer will keep traffic moving IN all
directions without permitting DOCK
AIDES or mixups and no one will be un.
necessarily delayed. Street cars Will
halt on the far side Of the crossing
when SO ordered.
Pedestrians can help in protecting
themselves by observing which way
the traffic is being permitted to travel
for the moment and not attempting 10
cut across in front of it.
The traffic officer is metropolitan
feature that is in keeping with the
enormity of the traffic that exists at
Market and Main streets.

THE WORTH OF ADVERTISING.

Following the death of Thomas J.
Barratt, head Of the English company
making Pears soap, the pioneers OF
big advertising, the New York Herald
has published a series of articles wen
worth any advertising mans reading.
The story Of Mr., Barratt and OF Pears
soap is one OF the romances OF adver-
Using. His Good morning! Have
you used Pears soap?" has become
immortal in commercial, literature.
When Mr. Barratt joined the Pears
firm in 1865, it was spending about
ESQ year in advertising. Not many
years later, when his own ideas OF pub
licity were in full swing, the company
was spending as much as G126,OOO
for advertising in single year. The
whole world knows the results.
Edwin A. Ames, president OF Oster-
moor & Co., said he believed Mr.. Bar
raft was but one Of a host of business
men who realized that extensive ad-
vertising alone brought great success.
Until 1885," he said, our business
had been small. In that year. as a
sort of desperate plunge, | gave to an
advertising man $3.50 and told him to
see if he could obtain results with 1T.
Today we spend more than $4,000 a
month advertising. From the moment
we spent that $3.50 our business began
to grow"

scheme and help Commissioner 'Brem-
horst accomplish that for which he has
stationed traffic officer at the inter
section of Market and Main streets.
There are definite city regulations gov
erning the use of the streets and de-
signed to make for safety. The state
has seen fit to pass certain laws to aid
lin this endeavor. Nevertheless many
of these laws are and have been violat-
ed frequently, but generally because
the offenders were not familiar with
the rules rather than from any malicl-
Gus intent.
! For instance, numerous autoists ana
drivers of horse-drawn vehicles as
well, endanger the lives of people by
driving between a street car whlch
has stopped or Is about to stop, and
the curb. Every time they DO this
they lay themselves liable to fine Tor
section 10 of the Iowa laws governing
motor vehicles says In effect: You
must not pass street car while II IS
standing still to let passengers on or
off at street crossing. II you are
following a car few feet back OF IT,
when it stops at street crossing,
YOU must stop until the street car
starts again.
Article Z of section 10 of the same
law saws: 1T shall be unlawful for
the operator of any motor vehicle 70
overtake and pass another vehicle at
street intersections in the business
district"
For the benefit of those drivers who
find it convenient to cut out the mu1-
fer of their engine while climbing
hills in the city or hurrying through
Town, the following quotation from the
state law (sec. 10, art. 81 is OF inter
est: 1T shall be unlawful for the
operator or owner of any motor venice
to operate or permit to be operated on
the streets of any city or town, any
motor vehicle which has not suitable
muffler in a proper and efficient work
ing condition and it shall be further
unlawful for any person to drive or
permit to be driven on the streets OF
any city of town, any motor vehicle
with the muller cut out or not IN op
eration.'@
II should be matter of pride with
every driver of an auto that he knows
his rights and those of the other lei,
low, and the best way to 90 THIS Is
to make study Of the city ordinances
and state laws.
! When taking care of the SAFETY OF
others, one usually assures ms own
safety as well.
