TRAFFIC SAFETY TIPS
FROM AUTO MAKERS
Instructions to Children Urged on
Parents and Public School
Teachers.

It is up to the motorist to watch for
children on the streets and upon him
is the burden Of avoiding accident.
However. the youngstsrs can well be
schooled in the simple rules OF SAFE
ty first" To do this. the Dort Motor
Company has prepared some maxims
Of safety for parents and teachers to
bring homo to the children, which
will help to prevent accidents. The
list follows:
Il. Look in both directions before
stepping OF the sidewalk. The left is
most important because all traffic
should be coming from that direction
"2. Never walk behind . street car
without looking carefully for auto
mobiles or other street cars coming
from the other direction. It 10 much
better to walk a little farther to the
corner before crossing.
"3. When possible always 80 to the
corner where the tramc policeman IS
on duty. He is your friend.
-. When more than one child Is
crossing the street. hold hands tight
ly. don't run and don't separate. The
driver can miss you il you become
confused providing you stay togethel
but if you separate. one of you Is al
most sure to- be struck.
"5 If a car is standing at the cor
ner or moving slowly some distance
away, look the driver in the eye to
make sure that he sees you and to
learn what he 10 going to DO. Don't
look at the front Of the car. Look at
the driver.
49, When streets are slippery. don't
take a chance in crossing Just because
| a car is moving slowly. A quick stop
| is impossible for the car, and your
| action may cause the car to skid and
| become unmanageable, thus endanger-
| ing many lives, including your own.
| "7. Don't read letters or books when
| crossing the street. Don't talk to your
| friend, but keep your mind on the
| fact that you are crossing street
where there 10 danger and you must
| be alert.
IS. In playing bail or tennis. II the
ball goes iAto the street. don't run
after it without stopping first at the
curb to make sure that there are no

Baltimore Washington Road Cited.

ITO show how easily traffic may be-
come congested on narrow road.
take for illustration the Baltimore
Washington road and assume that a
motor truck passes a given point at
a speed of fifteen miles an hour at
fifteen-second intervals. AS the truck
would travel twenty-five feet a sec
ond there would be one truck for
every $50 feet, and 1t would only take
628 trucks to thus fill up the whole
space between Baltimore and Wash
ington. Any fairly long train Of
trucks would therefore congest all
passenger travel to a degree where
the situation would become acute. We
do not have to look far into the fu-
ture to see just such conditions and
we must realize that only by wide
roads or parallel roads can such sit
uations be met. Just where and how
much the road should be widened.
where the parallel roads should be
built, where the heavy types of con-
structlon should be located, where de-
tours should be provided are problems
which call for traffic surveys.

RACERS TO REPRESENT
ENGLAND AND america
Sweepstakes Prize Of $4,000 to
Winner in Auto Sweepstakes
Contest May 81.

With the announcement during the
officially named Dario Resta to drive
one Of its cars in the fve-hundred-
milo liberty sweepstakes at India
napolis. May 81. the fans will be able
to see England and America pitted
against each other, both as to car and
driver. when Resta and Ralph De
Palma meet in the $4,000 race. Both
drivers were born in Italy. Resta was
reared and schooled in England. De
Palma spent his childhood and youth
in Brooklyn. Resta will drive the

the Packard twelve" he has used for
two seasons, but entirely rebuilt. 1t
IS probably the speediest OF the
American cars entered.
De Palma Wins in 1915.
In 1918 De Palma outgeneraled

A. A. A. championship, and Ralph

he averaged 1872 miles an hour. De
Palma holds the worlds hour and
six-hour records with his Packard

The Hudson factory also will be we'll
represented in the big race. Two years
ago the Hudson factory put out q
racing team and Immediately the
Hudson family Of owners produced its
quota of race drivers. Hudsons were
rebuilt and tuned up because the con-
struction of the engine lent itself to
high speed. Some Of the drivers were
unusually successful and some failed
to achieve their desires.
One of these owners. Leon r. Stew

picked H. c. Simmons to drive it in
the race. Both are confident that. be-
fore the checkered flag Is waved or

ENGINEERS NEEDED
IN TRAFF|CFO
George c. DiehI Regards
Them as Essential Members
of Highway Stats.
PROBLEMS FOR SOLUTION

Traffic engineers will be ESSENTIAL
members of the general staff of ma
tional and state highway departments.
If the enormous and intensive needs
of traffic are to be met" says George
c. Diehl, chairman of the good roads
board, American Automobile Associa-
ton.
Highway traffic is already at a
point where 1t overshadows railroad
traffic and has given rise not only to
the engineering problems of building
highways durably. but to traffic prob
lens which call for wider highways
on main routes.
Questions for Consideration.
These problems involve considera
ton of such traffic questions as CO.
ordinating parallel roads. providing
detours. economically locating roads
with reference to tonnage and pas
senger requirements. routing traffic.
sign posting highways and the con-
duct of construction and repair work
to interfere as little as possible with
the flow of traffic. The federal high
way commission when 1t is estab-
lished can do more to bring order out
of confusion in the handling of these
great traff1c problems than any other
conceivable agency.
ITO emphasize the magnitude Of
traffic we should bear in mind that
probably IS per cent of the seven mil
lion motor vehicles which will be reg
istered this year will be confined to
not over 20 per cent of the highway
mileage in addition to city streets.
This would mean about twelve vehi-
cles to the mile or about one to every
$50 feet.
