Chase the Pinheaded
Driver, Commissioner, and
- the Public Will Bless You

We have here in our fast-growing city
what is known as the Littlefeld ordi-
nance.
The Littlefield ordinance prescribes
that an automobile, coming upon street
ear that has stopped, shall also stop,
within six feet of the street car.
The idea is this:
When street car comes to stop, nine
times out of ten, it does so to take on or
let off passengers.
Among these passengers there are chill
dren and old folk.
There is also the young man, perhaps
deeply absorbed in thought, wondering
who the peach was across from him; with
the dreamy eyes.
And there is also the peach with the
dreamy eyes, with her mind on the paper
severed novel she has been reading.
When she was interrupted by the con-
ductor calling the name of her street,
the heroine may have been just at the
point of falling into the clutches of des-
perate Ambrose, who few minutes be-
fore had left the hero deposited in lost
cave, the entrance to which he had COW
cred with oak beams held down by sew
eral railroad ties.
The Littlefield ordinance takes cogni-
Sance Of the fact that in alighting from
: street car, all these people have right
70 protection and to feeling of security
I Ia what are termed safety zones" in
which several Detroiters have been
killed.
There are those in our fast-growing
city who possess the firm opinion that
about the most dangerous place in De-
txoit that one can get into is one Of
these safety zones"
Including among their number were
\ The aldermen who voted for the Little
field ordinance and made it LAW.
We have here in our fast-growing
city, two kinds of automobile driver.
One kind of automobile driver con-
cedes that the streets were not put in
for his exclusive benefit; that pedes-
trians have some rights in them; that
fast driving endangers life and limb.
The other kind of driver is what we
term pin-headed irresponsible, possess
sed of whole lot of selfishness and an
Idea that children have no rights in the
streets and that old people are only in
the way.
When the Littlefield ordinance was
passed, this latter kind of automobile
driver laughed "Ha ha," or, rather, gig
gied He he" and thought it was a Joke.
The police department humored him
in this opinion, and finally gave him
license to defy the ordinance by announc-
ing that drivers would not be expected
I to obey the ordinance literally.
The. trouble with that order was, it
4 called. upon drivers to use their own in
teIligence and judgment, when the fact
