MAKING THE STREETS S AFE.

Making the streets safe for automobiles
Is a noble work which has received but
little attention The following rules for
pedestrians have been suggested:
|. Pedestrians crossing streets at night
shall wear white light in front and red
light in the rear.
,. Before turning to the right or left
thev shall give three short blasts on horn
at least three inches in diameter.
3. When an inexperienced automobile
driver Is made nervous by a pedestrian,
he shall indicate the same, and the pedes
trian shall hide behind tree until the
automobile has passed.
+. Pedestrians shall not carry in their
pockets any sharp instrument which may
cut automobile tires.
,. In dodging automobiles pedestrians
shall not run more than seven miles an
hour.
& Pedestrians must register at the be
ginning + each year and pay license fee
of 81 for the privilege OF living There
shall be no rebate if they do not live the
entire wear.

license to walk upon the streets, must

WHAT BRAKES WILL DO.

Brakes exert their greatest effect just
before the wheels stop and the tires begin
to skid
One brake gradually applied will give
better results on the level or on up grades
than when either one or both are suddenly
applied.
Brakes unevenly adjusted will throw q
vehicle sidewise out Of its track.
Sudden application of both foot and
emergency brakes hastens the 'slewing
of the vehicle from it's track and the period
during which the whole dependence is on
the skidding friction of the tires. This
statement does not apply to steep down
grades.
Brakes applied so as to lock the wheels
prevent using the engine as a brake.
Two brakes, foot and emergency, when
the first one applied is in good condition,
will not stop the vehicle on level or up
grades as quickly as one.
Brakes will not stop vehicle in as
short a space when they lock the wheels
and cause skidding as when they are ap-
piled TO the point just short OF locking the
wheels
Brakes will not give proper results when
only part of the brakingsurface is bearing,
because of uneven adjustment on diff
ferent wheels, because one shoe bears
only a part Of braldng surface, because
oil is dripping on the brakes or because
brake lining is gone from that portion Of
the braking surface which is bearing.

PACKARD EXPANSION.

President Alvan Macaulcy of the
Packard Motor Car Company has an
nounced the incorporation Of the Packard
Motors Export Corporation, which will
hereafter control the Packard business
throughout the world, with the exception
Of the United States and Calada. The
organization of this new company is in
accordance with Packard's plans as an
international institution, and follows the
world trade program now being carried
out by many of Americas greatest COM
mercial institutions. The active manage
ment falls to Col. Fred Cardway, who
has been elected vice-president and gen
eral manager, with his headquarters at
1861 Broadway, New York.
Col. Cardway, the man who is primarily
responsible for the upbuilding Of Packard's
world trade, has been called by newspaper
men "the worlds greatest business
diplomat and psychologist Under his
direction the name Packard has been
made famous the world over. He says:
III q product is different and has merit,
its manufacturer will always be able to
maintain his own. Irrespective Of the
fact that Europe produces numbers of
motor vehicles selling at about the same
price as Packard, we shall extend and
maintain our organization abroad on the
same successful basis as in the United

SIGNALS FOR TRAFFIC.

A novel plan for the regulation Of
traffic on Fifth avenue, the most congested
street in New York City, has been found
very efiicacio,is and is deemed 10 have
solved the problem. From a Master
tower" high above the road at Forty
second street, signals are flashed 10 four
other towers, at Thirty-eighth and Thirty
fourth streets below, and Fiftieth and
Fifty-sevcnth streets above, which repeat
the signals. The effect is TO stop and start
the up and down traffic on the entire
stretch of more than a mile, at the same
intervals of time. The cross-town traffic
is given about three quarters Of minute,
then suspended for minute and hall,
during which period traffic moves up and
down.
Until the inauguration Of this system,
the flow was liable TO be checked at each
block The time Of transit between Thirty
fourth and F'ifty-seventh street has been
cut down by the new system 10 between
five and seven minutes at the height Of

CAFETERIA GARAGE.

A "self.scrvicc" garage has proved
very satisfactory in Victoria, British
Columbia. The system as explained by
the proprietor is rs follows:
"All monthly tenants leaving their cars
in the garage have had issued to them,
keys to the main entrance, and they are
entitled to the use of the wash rack, as
well "a of the shop for small adjustments,
greasing their cars, etc. find that most
car owners enjoy doing this-and in ad-
dition it saves them money.
"The front portion of the garage is
about so by 35, and this is almost full Of
private cars, which shows that the people
who keep their cars here appreciate being
trusted.
''No night Waterman is kept at the door
of the garage; an owner can drop in at
2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, unlock the
front door, and off he goes without any
bother"
