SEES SEPARATE
ROADS FOR AUTOS
Ford Company Member Urges
That Slow Vehicles Keep
to the Curb.

James W. Ward, of the Ford Motor
Company, has written to the Board
of Works that the one best aid pos
sible to moving traffic on our streets
would be to insist by police regula-
ton that slow moving vehic es keep
to the curb or as near the sidewalk
line as possible. This would give
faster vehic es an opportunity OF get
ting out of the way and of pulling up
to the curb when necessary and
greatly facilitate pedestrians.
1.-THE time Is coming said Mr..
Ward today, when slow moving We
hicle traffic will either have a thor
oughfare of it's own, or it will be
regulated in the interest of he more
fast moving traffic, especially that of
the motor car, as well as that of the
pedestrian.
1T may be that the regular rail
road, or New York subway scheme
will have to be adopted; that is, a
separate road for the slow and faster
traffic on the accommodation and ex-
press train order. Newark and all
cities of fairly large population are
suffering accutely because of the
jumbling together of fast and slow
traffic. Something has got to be done
In order to facilitate and smooth traf-
fic conditions in the interest of time
and economy"

ATTACKS VACCINE
REPORT INTEGRITY
Or. James C. Corlies, of Anti
Compulsory Society, Issues
Statement.

DR.. James c. Corlies, OF the Anti
Compulsory Vaccination Society of
New Jersey, has issued statement
attacking the integrity of the report
of the Board of Health on the mat
ter of vaccination of school children.
He says in part;
ION October %, at a meeting of the
educational board report was read
stating that during the last four
years $4,000 school children had been
vaccinated and not one single case
had been reported as going wrong,
but failed TO state how many cases
should have been reported. At that
time there was present q little nine
year-old girl with a withered, para
lived arm, the result of vaccination,
and others easily accessible. If these
cases could be suppressed. why not
others? If one misleading report
could be SO easily suppressed, why not
two?
I'm 1902 an epidemic occurred in
Cleveland, and many arms rotted off.
and SO many cases pointed toward
premature deaths DR.. Friedrich, the

the people, and resorted to isolation

Prouty's game was better than Fitz-

Iowan a couple of strokes on a round.

judge, who has his own way of play
ing, uninhuenced by any professional

Fitzgerald stuck TO his lessons, go
