National Auto Sig
nal Gaining Favor

The National Auto Signal is
still gaining favor witn the Den
yer Motor Club and the traffic
and police departments of Den
yer. Commissioner of Safety A.
J. Nisbet, has long been con-
vert to its usefulness as a safety
device and Mr.. Nisbet stands
high in safety circles, being a
member of the National Fedora
tion Of Public Safety. At the
meeting held in Detroit on Oc-
tober 18th and 18th. resolutions
were unanimously adopted re-
quiring a universal code of traffic
rules and signals, and in most
particular. the system now being
used in Denver, which has been
originated and enforced by Mr..
Nisbet, were considered as most
practicable for universal adoption.
Among others and not the least
important was the sempahore
apparatus that was first intro
duced by Mr.. Nisbet at street in
tersections and which has re-
ceived the unqualified endorse
ments of the Denver Motor Club
This semaphore in principle is
very similar to the National Au-
to Signal, better known in this
community as the T. H. Kruse
invention. Simplicity land accu-
racy are the main factors which
obtain in the Safety First
propaganda.
The infallibiity of the waving
of the hand signal is becoming
more and more apparent and
e cry thing is working toward a
universal mechanical signal.
H nee the street semaphore and
the National Auto Signal hav,
come to fill this demand. Both
are plain and practicable.
No mistakes will be made by
their use. Both are Denver in
ventions and Mr.. Nisbet recog
nizing their value has adopted
the former and has given the
latter his friendly endorsement.
The model of this signal is now
on exhibition in the Motor Club
rooms.
A description and a picture of
it has found its way into the Mo-
tor Clubs official paper, the
Trails and Towns.
Many of the prominent men,
bers of the Motor Club are
speaking in highest praise of it
as a safety device.
All acknowledge that a me-
chanical device will soon be a
necessity and that it should be
one of such simplicity that it can
be universally adopted. They
aso acknowledge that the Nat
ional Signal seems to fill the bill,
because no code is necessary,
Moreover, the Secretary-Treas
urer of the Denver Motor Club
has given his approval. Hence
the sentiment is rapidly growing
and it would not be surprising to
see these signals in counties S
numbers in actual operation on
the Denver streets by the middle
of next summer. A number are
already in use and are attracting
much attention.
The National Auto Signal Com
pany is made up Of Arvada and
Denver men, all of whom are
straightforward, honorable men
and worthy of the confidence of
the public. If this company sue
cccds in Denver it will mean its
success all over the United States
and Denver will reap the benefit.

Explaining Border War.

The acute interest of that part of
the Southwestern United States which
lies next to the Mexican border has
very largely subsidized since Gen.
Scotts recent visit to Naco and his
persuading of the hostile forces of
Mexicans to retire further into the in
terror of their own. country. Since
that agreement was reached, there
have been no more battles opposite
American border towns. 1t is again
possible to do business in those places
without a suspension, and a closing
and putting up of shutters, whenever
firing commenced.
There is small assurance, We fear,
that this peaceful situation will con-
tinue. The Mexican fighting opposite
Naco, Douglas, and other places, was
not for possession of the Mexican
/ towns located there. They are with
of supplies for a commissary. They
have some value, however. owing to
their being sites of custom houses, as
beses of supplies of cash. This fact
explains what has been an inscrutable
mystery to many people far removed
from the border line who have been
unable to understand why the Mexi-
cans should prefer fighting so much
on the edge of their country when
there is so much good fighting room
farther in. With the situation ex-
planned, it can readily be seen that
the condition is likely to return. Con-
siderable traffic passes through those
points. and the toll money is worth
fighting number of Mexican battles
to handle.
