The field. Jimmy Johnston, however,
who has been putting on shows at
the garden for the defunct show cor
poration, says he is going as far as
he can and still keep within the limit
Of the law. Harry Pollok is associat-
ed with John White and Dan McKet-

wants to stage bout between Fred

New, York. The New York Life In
surance Company is expected to buy

Richard declares If he doesn't get

with arrangements for bout between
Georges Carpenter and Les Darcy or
Jess Willard. He says he had been
offered site for building in the
vicinity OF 120th street and contend
ed that the building could be erected
within a months time. In the mean
time Richard is keeping one eye on
a transatlantic cable and the other
eye glued to a cable from South

HIGHWAY DANGERS.
Remedies Suggested by She American
Highway Association.

Remedies Suggested by She American
Highway Association.
Safety on highways ought to receive
more attention. says "a rcecMt hullclin
published by The American Highway
association.
Speed 1iends and drunken drivers are
already attended 10 by laws. but there
are many very real dangers which re-
ceiye no attention. Ono of these is the
road Intersection where thick shrub
berry OF trees make it impossible for
the driver on onr street to see an an.
preaching vehicle on the other until
the Two are ready TO collide. Slow
driving is Of little avail in such places.
The only remedy is To clear aWay the
obstruction 10 sight, as is required by
regulation i'll some places. Another
danger spot is the narrow road With
sharp curves where it is impossible to
see ahead on account of shrubs and
trees. Automobiles have considerable
trouble ut times when they meet on
such curves, but the danger to them
Is by no means SO great as it is to
the young man who is holding his best
girl in a buggy and ncglccting his
horse. Underbrush ought to be clear
ell away on the inner side of such
curves, at least 50 that drivers can de-
tect another vehicle on the road ahead
before it is ncarer than se%venty-tivc
feet. This does not require the dc
struction OF shrubbcry or trees. but
merely enough thinning ont of the
growth to enable 4 carriage or motor
car to be seen. Still another danger
point is the junction of Il road with
another ut right angles, concealed by
an Intervening rise or curve so that
the junction point is not seen until
just before the moment when the
driver on the Joining road must turn
into the main road. Such places are
extremely dangerous, and signposts
should be erected to warn the traveller
of their proximity.
