stores there is a line waiting the
opening of the doors. There was
no line at the fire department this

Them Turn
Corners Correctly

A traffic regulation was put into
effect in this city today which 1t is
believed will materially lessen acci-
dents that may occur at street cross
ings. A large white disk has been
painted in the center of the intersec-
ton and cars traversing the streets
must pass this disk before making the
turn into another street. This makes
the short turn impossible and 1t is be-
lieved will be effective. Local traffic
officers and patrolmen were busy see
ing that the regulation was enforced
today and were stationed at the We
rious street corners on Main street
throughout the day.

prTLMAN AUTO DEALERS
NAY JOIN BIG ASSOCIATION

Robert E. Wagner, field secretary
!, the National Automobile Dealers
association, was in Pullman this
week urging the local dealers to af-
fliate with the organization and met
with considerable success. In stress
ing the magnitude of the automobile
business and the importance of a
strong and nationwide organization
among the retail distributors, he cit
Cd the following facts:
People employed. $50, geo, or 10
per cent of the people engaged in me-
chanical and manufacturing indus
tries.
People uspported, 5000, 600. or
one-half the population of New York,
all of Chicago, twice as large as Phil
adephia. four times st. Louis or Bos-
ton,
Automobile salaries aggregate S.
900, 10000 This total exceeds
twice the entire annual revenue of
Z the United States post office and Is
seven times that paid for the trans
portation of mail Prior to the coun-
try's entrance into the war the wages
paid in the automobile industry ex-
ceeded the government ordinary eX-
penses and was equal to three
fourths OF the governments ordi-
receipts, being 1,297,000, 1000 The
total capital invested IS 81 .256,000,-
GEO, which sum is equal 10 the total
outstanding capital stock of the nine
greatest railroad systems com bined.
Moreover, the investment aggregates
three times as large rs the outstand-
ing capital stock of the entire Stand
ard OIL group of 80 companies and
exceeds the capital of all the national
banks at the end of 1917.
During the last year there were
more than 100000 cars in use in
lhe country. An average of 1000
miles per year carrying, say three
passengers each, the total passenger
miles covered would be more than
