offered 800 to the firemen's pen

Rock Island. Ill, Sept. 8.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Sept. 8.
Editor The Argus: Will you
please print in your columns a
question or two that I would like
to ask the automobile drivers of
our city? Is it necessary for a
man who is driving a machine to
drive as fast as he can when he
sees a lady crossing the street
ahead of him. or does he do it to
try and frighten her? Or when he
turns a corner and a lady is nearly
across, is it necessary for him to
cut across in front of her when
there is twice as much space in the
street back of her as there is in
front of her? This last thing has
happened to me more than once,
and it arouses all of the ire in my
soul to be treated in such a man
ner. l don't own or drive an auto
mobile; don't want to. and 1 have
to cross the streets when I go out,
and I have to be as spry as a 16-
year-old to save being run down,
and I have a white head, too.
1t seems that pedestrians have
no right to the freedom of the
crossings these days, and when auto
drivers call to ladies step. lively
there" as happened to a lady l
know, it is time for those who
make the city laws to step in and
make a law for drivers, and see
that these laws are enforced. There
might be some excuse for the way
they go if it were a case of catch
ing a train, or getting a doctor,
but the majority of drivers are out
for pleasure riding and people who
are crossing the streets are very
likely, some of them, in Just as
great a hurry as they are.
A WOMAN WHO KNOWS.
Rock Island Argus., 1919-09-09

When asked about the matter. Gen
eral Manager Huntoon replied, ''all
l have to say is that the boxes have
been removed from all cars on the
Illinois side of the river, for the
present, at least"
Mr.. Huhtoon made no further ex-
PLANTATION, but it is believed that
the device has proven a failure,
particularly since the z cent fare
went into effect, and there is no
way by which. a conductor, where
a number of people are entering a
car, can keep track of the odd
fares. A passenger, for instance,
may drop three pennies into the
box, and all the conductor hears
is a click. In this way, the COM
pany sustains considerable loss.
