GARDINER WOULD
REVISE TRAFFIC
LAWS IN D. c.
Would Prevent Pedestrians
Crossing Streets Only
at intersections.

Pedestrians in Washington may
VERY soon be compelled by law to
cross the street only at street inter-
sections. while they are in the down.
town section Of the city.
This was a statement made last
night by District Commissioner w.
Gwynn Gardiner.
The traffic reguls tions compiled TO
this effect by Maj. Raymond w. Pull
man. superintendent OF police, will
soon be submitted to the Commits
sioners
Commissioner Gardiner expressed
the belief that this revision when sub
mitted Will be passed and made a
law by the Board OF Commissioners.
Il am heartily In favor OF this
plan," said Gardiner.
Gardiner recommended another re-
vision that should, in his opinion, be
made law in the new proposed traf-
1c regulations. That is, that pedes-
trians be compelled by law to stop
the practice of reading newspapers
and otherwise engaging themselves
while crossing the street.
Would Punish Offender.
Gardiner said that IL law of this
sort is passed 1t should be enforced
in all parts Of the city and the pedes-
trian found guilty Of such a mis-
demeanor should be dealt with as
severely as any reckless motorist is.
ARREST the reckl Is pedestrian as
well as the reckless motorist," Is the
gist of his recommendation.
II was stated recently by Mai.
Pullman that he would probably in
his traffic revisions recommend as
the section in which pedestrians be
compelled to cross streets only at
street intersections at Seventeenth
street. on the west, or X street,
on the north, Sixth street. on the cast,
and b street on the south.
This district Is all in the northwest
section of the city. The boundary
lines may he changed by Mai. Pull
man before he submits his revisions
to the Commissioners. however.

BOTTLES ARE VERY ANCIENT.
Nearly as Old as Man, They Were First
Made of Animal Skins.

Who made the first bottle has never
been determined, but the necessity for
some means OF transporting liquids. of
which water was undoubtedly the first
to be considered. must have existed
from the beginning Of the human race.
and it is generally considered probable
that the first receptacle for this purpose
was made from the skin of an animal

These, we know, were used ages ago
by many primitive peoples and have
since been employed extensively In
many parts of the world, and even to-
day they may be seen in use in some
oriental countries. It was this kind
Of bottle that was referred to in the
Bible in the much quoted dictum relat-
ing to putting new wine into old bot
ties, The objection to this procedure
was that the skin of an old bottle has
become fully stretched and weakened
by use. and if new wine was put into
it the pressure Of the gases generated
by the continued fermentation of the
wine would burst the bottle
1t is generally accepted fact that
glassmaking and glass bottles origi-
mated among the Egyptians. although
at what date no one has presumed to
state, Even in Egypt, however, the
art of glassmaking in it's early history
appears to have been confined to GER
tain localities and was not practiced at
all widely.-Scientif1c American.

more, the letter carrier does not touch

This top Of the bag is slid into a
