Are Enforcing Traffic Regulations
New Ruling Went Into Effect WednesdayJ Drivers andsExpressmen Disappear From Old Haunts--PoIice Orderedto KeepStreet Clear-Noticeable Improvement in Congested Sections.

The traffic Jaws passed iioya theT Tcourt | of common council foursXearsE ago, ,Sbut never very strictly enforced, are to be enforced to the fletter from now !, on. The news ruling went into effect on Wednesday,. P Keep the streets, clear 1 is the order to each .patro1manSin the sections Of the city-s effected byS the regulations ? and they q tobeyed A orders 1 all right sonA "Wednesday forF tI1es jitney drivers, the eXpresSmen and hack drivers disappeared from their ac- customed stands and, took. up positions elsewhere. SeveraIfof the jitney driv- l CTS backed into Rose alley, where they 1 awaited prospective. passengers.
 The enforcing of the regulations is withoutga a doube good move on the part of the city officials. For instance Lower Broadway, has been much congested street. When there are au- tos and teams lined up on both sides of the street and has frequentIy been the custom, it is next to impossible for teams or autos to pass. each other and in case of fire in that section the firemen would be very greatly handi- capped.
 A good many people in this city confess ignorance of the traffic rules as a whole and Mayor Allyn l.. Brown said Wednesday night that copies of the rules may be obtained from police headquarters upon application.
 The Traffic Rules.
 The rules to be enforced are as fol- lows:
 A vehicle, except when passing a vehicle standing or going in the same direction, shall keep to the right and as near the right-hand cuprb as IS safe and practicable.
 Vehicles, moving slowly, shall keep as close as practicable to the right hand curb, so as to allow faster nov ing vehicles free passage to the left.
 Vehicles OvertaIling others, shall in passing, keep to the left.
 A vehicle turning to the right into another street shall turn the corner as near the right-hand curb as is prac- ticabIe.
 A vehicle turning to the left intr another street shall pass to the right

very serious enc, especially because, when it is possible to arrange for the refugees to live in separate lodgings, they are able to settle down to some kind of work or business much quick CT. The report concluded in saying that the problem of supplying the refugees with warm clothing and shoes is almost impossible of solu- tion.'
 The mortality rate is growing, through the lack of sanitary arrange ments. In Warsaw it was 15 per thousand in August 1915, and has now rural districts, it is even higher.
 Tn the cities that have been dess troyed such as Brest-Litowsk, and others that are near the firing line, such as .Pinsk, Sloninl, etc., and still others fro mthe southern part of Ri- ga down to L.usk, the homeless Jews to the number of about 300O0 are sheltered in the various neighbOTinG townships in Gradno, Seidlets, War saw and Lomza.
 Reports has also been received from Dr. $. Nathanson to the effect that in Warsaw alone there are over IT, 900 children under 14 years of age whose bodies are naked and whose feet are backs. suffering appalling hunger and thirst. They are the innocent victims of every other almost inconCeivable privation that spells misery and pow erty. This huge army of helpless little ones needs immediate help. They must have shirts and shoes, nourish- ment and shelter to keep them alive.
 M A. Botwick is chairman of the local committee.

 The conditions in the Eastern War zone, (which was first evacuated by the Russians and afterwards conquer ed by the Germans, and which is again the scene Of the fercely con- tended battles between the armies on that front, are graphically told so far as the on-combatants are concerned, by reports which have been received by the joint distribution, committee, of funds for the Jewish war sufferers, of which MT Felix M. Warburg of 52 Williams street, is chairman.
 The total number of Jewish refu- gees registered by the committee, nit is 185,596, which is about 25,O00 more than were on the register last No vember.

 It has been necessary to provide lodgings Gheated) and food for these refugees as well as shoes and cloth ing.
 The provinces of the interior Cor as the report describes it, Ion the rear") have a total of 74,07S refugees. The provinces mentioned are Kursk, Tulsa, Kaluga, Mini, Novgorod, and Voronej. The cost of the food ration supplied, only amounts to- 20 kopelzs per head, per day.

Enthusiasm.

Dried prunes and prosperity was
the slogan at the annual meeting of
the Commercial club last night. tire
manned for an outsider to tell the way
10 bring prosperity TO southern Idaho.
Miles Cannon Of Weiser WAS the man
who did the work and in doing so he
aroused his audience to a high pitch
of enthusiasm. Facts and figures were
presented to show that the dried prune
is the hope of Idaho and that with
plants for the drying of the Famous,
Italian prune established in Boise the
population Of the city would be doubled
in 10 years and the state would be-
come famous the world over. Mr.. Cam
non called a spade a spade in telling
what was the matter with Boise and
said some plain words to merchants
who, he intimated, arc antagonizinG
the agricultural interests.
G. A. Barton: general manager Of the
Payette- Boise Lumber company, was
another speaker who made valuable
suggestions in regard to Bosses well
fare. He spoke as a comparative new
conner who has become thoroughly inn
bued with the Boise spirit.
The meeting was presided over by
the newly elected president, Jess F..
Hawley, who outlined plans for the
coming years work. He said he pro-
posed to see that others than the di-
reetors were given work to do. Many
plans for adding to Boise's industries
were to be looked into, Mr.. Hawlcy
said.
Work Of Secretary Praised.
The reports or the secretary and
treasurer were read, and also the re-
port Of the traffic bureau. After Sec
rotary Childs had read his report
which reviewed the club activities Of
the year Mr.. Hawley spoke in high
praise OF the work Of the secretary.
