tant hig.hways-not permitted in Eng
land, and. incidentally, not permitted
in America, either. The value of the
speedway was at once manifested by
it's popularity.
The Indianapolis speedway has had a
gradual development. From a dirt
track of nwo and one-half miles in
circuit-intended primarily for local
automobile events-it has improved
until today the track is brick paved,
protected by banks and the yearly
events are of nation wide Importance,
attracting larger attendance than any
other sporting event in America. Fur
thermore, even the most conservative
car builders are only too glad to tell
you what their cars have done in pub
lie test or private trials on the Indian
apolis track, for there is today nowhere
in America where such tests can be
made under proper conditions of pri-
vacy, safety and convenience except at
indianapolis.
With only two speedways in America,
the Philadelphia motor speedway comes
into existence at the proper time. Sit

Jitney Buses of Unique Design.

Six new jitney buses of unique de-

District Jitney Bus Company, by the
firm of Miller brothers for operation on
two jitney routes which were put into
commission last week. These buses
are Of the pay-as-you-enter type, with
the entrance on the right side opposite
the drivers seat. and are SO construct
ed that the passengers can easily enter
the car from the curb. They are light
ed by dome electric lights. are pro-

spices of the Philadelphia Motor Speed

of any existing speedway in the coun-
try in many respects. Chief among
these will be the facility for entrance
and egress from interior of the track.
Messrs. Heacock and Hokanson, the
architects of the track which is now
under construction, have provided for
an entrance and an exit every seventy
five feet. In addition to this there win
be more than a score Of tunnels under
the track, so that automobiles will
have free and easy access to the park
ing space inside the two-mile oval
These easy facilities are carried out
also in the provisions for trolley serv-
ice. There is trolley subway direct
ly under the grandstand. so that those
going to the park by that means are
never endangered by automobiles Like
wise a railroad terminal of eighteen
tracks is to be provided, and the Wis

have the same safety assured through
special provisions.

streets has decreed that there
shall be no more crossing or
crowded streets cat-a-corner. no
more helterskelter scurrying be-
tween motor cars, street cars and
wagons, no more avoidable acci-
dents. So heavy white lines have
been painted from corner to cor

alone, may the pedestrian hence
forth cross downtown streets.
The traffic policemen have been
asked to enforce this rule as
