charge of stupidity" against Attor-
ney General Palmer. in his fights

fight. Such expressions are surpris-
ing. They are blind IL they do not
see that the fights l have been direct
ing have been for their own good and
for their protection. Such statements
as were attributed to Secretary Nor
rison are astonishing"

The Left Hand Turn

There are four points in Phoenix at which the traffic is more congested than at any others and where during the day it is directed by traffic officers There has been difficulty in educating drivers 10 take notice of the "Go" and Stop" signs but bv this time nearly all the denser and more absent minded read them that there is now less risk of damage either to vehicles pedestrians at these crossings than at any other points of intersection in Inc city, In fact the danger accident increases in an inverse ratio to the congestion of traffic That is because drivers relying upon the less congested traffic at outlying crossings more recklessly
 But at the guarded crossings there is one em- barrassing condition which has puzzled traffic direc tors everywhere. That is the left hand turn The driver sometimes is allowed to disregard the stop" sign he approaches the crossing and take his place in the stream of traffic going his Or in other cases, he follows the "Go' sign until passes the intersection when he is allowed to cross the stream moving in the opposite direction.
 In some cities the left hand turn is prohibited at all guarded crossings The driver must go straight ahead until he reaches a crossing where the traffic is less congested. So. by a roundabout wa re reaches his destination But few blocks is a t,.te matter to one in automobile
 In cases of great congestion a further precaution prohibits turning either the right or left vehicle approaching the crossing by either street must drive straight ahead regardless of his destination.
 Perhaps the densest congestion in Phoenix does yet require either of these precautions though if way could be found obvate the left hand turn it would prevent that pling up crossings that fre quentiy to the delay and confusion of traffic
