NEW TRAFFIC REGULATOR

Editor The Star: wish 10
state that the schlegel traffic reg.
ulator installed ~ the intersection
OF Third ave. and Union St, is. In
our estimation. the best system
yet tried out in this city. for the
following reasons.
First-That its position in the
center OF the streets makes II i'm.
possible for any one to approach
without seeing the signal. and yet
It Ia out OF the way Of all traffic.
Second-That II gives both light
and sound signals In all four al.
rections simultaneously.
Third-Thst the operator, from
his position. car ri all times. see
all the traffic in the four direc.
tons.
Fourth--That Il Is q fire alarm

that II handles the traffic with the
least possible resistance.

As.wIgLplNG IS KID PLAY

Editor The Star What does all
this wreckage stunt of the Seattle
dry squad mean? Because some
one has been caught peddling
'hooch" on the quiet. Is that a
good excuse for so much wanton
destruction of property?
Does II give the Sahara gentry
/ any particular pleasure to lay the
AK on cash registers. counters,
cabinets. furniture and fixtures /:
to smash store equipments, office
interiors, and spread ruin right
and left?
Who gains by this kid play? DO
the tob-lot axmen hack and mutt
late the money they find In the
joints they destroy?
II strikes M that all this ax
welding bears flavor OF infan.
tue spite and morbid revenge:
also a spineless method OF han.
ding the trouble.
If infracttons OF the law-and
petty infractions at that--are 60.
ing TO mean the b!ow-up and chop
down OF the interior of buildings.
hadn't we better 20 back To the
caves again?
good way to use the ax. |

grandstand acts and three.up
