.Mho had the right of way ?''

Who had the right of way?'
 Excited men and women, standing about an accident which has just oc- cured, as the one pictured above hap pened. ask each other this question.
 Who had the right or way?' It makes no difference after an accident who had the right of way, the dam age Is done. whether it be life or prop erty that was sacrificed.
 Each car drrver. if he is able to ar ticulate at all, will lay the blame on the other driver.
 He should have stopped when he saw me coming" He lost his head and didn't put on the brakes. T reached the corner first. and consequently had the right of-way."
 These. and many other assertions are made by one or both participants. The outstanding fact of the matter does not occur to either-particularly to the one who was the real cause Of the smashup.
 This outstanding fact fs-that either one or the other, possibly both-did not have their cars under control as they approached the crossing.
 Had they had control of their cars. such an accident as the one above could never happen. involving as 1t docs the threatened death of the young lady thrown prostrate in front Of the wheels
 Too had it is that the party who Is | generally tho cause of an accident seldom gets hurt The injured person | is generally an innocent party to the foccurence. 'This seems truer every time such an accident is witnessed.
 If tho man. who deliberately steals the right of way from another who is entitled to cross ahead of him. could only get his own neck broken, the world would be better off. One less fool would be left for humanity to put mp with.
 But as this does not happen, educa- ton andathe law will have to do the work Of making the streets safe for pedestrian and motorist both. painfully slow though both these agencies ap- pear to he.
 It is a fact that a person can find more safety on the streets of Chicago and New York than he can get in Phoenix. This may seem like a broad state ment. but 1t is the truth. [ The reason is easily explained. The facts are that although Phoeni'

 With the importation of large quan- titles of gasoline from eastern and southern states. and Tightening de- mand for gasoline from the harvesting regions. it appears that the gasoline shortage in California is actually past. l However, producers are stilI insist | ing that there still remains a shortage, which. they claim. can only be met 1 by importations.
 The producers further say that the impoTtations of gasoline were the sole cause of the increase In price. as tho imported gasoline cost 9 cents per gallon This gasoline mixed with the local gasoline. al 24 cents per gallon. brought about the increase. according 1 to their assertions

SOLUTION OF THE RIGHT T-OF WAY
 PROBLEM AT STREET CROSSINGS

lisions each day is reported to them. How many more are not reported is not known, but it is certainly safe to assume that at least that many more are not brought to the attention of the department.
 An ordinance is under consideration at this time which will compel every accident to be reported to the police department, which is only proper and correct.
 Take on the basis of three accidents or collision each day, as reported, ti is would make a total of 90 per month, or 1,OSO per year. With those unre- ported, the total would increase to 2,060-a very conservative estimate.
 The fact that property is damaged which costs a great deal of money to replace, IS insignificant as compared to the danger to life and limb. Many men have hesitated to let their wiN es drive the famoly car to town for shop ping purposes, lest some irresponsible speed maniac tearing across crossings at 30 miles an hour run the car down and seriously injure his wife in addi- ton to wreclSing his car.
 And these fears are not unfoundeo. Any person can stand on the street corners on Adams. Washington. Jef- ferson and Monroe streets and see the speed and thoughtlessness with which these streets are crossed by some drivers.
 It makes no difference how careful some people drive, and how remote the possibility of them striking another fbor, fc al tho rarllpSC driver in hurry to get somewhere" taking the right-of way and apparently fig uring that the careful driver will do anything to avaid a collision. To the citizen who may doubt this statement 1 the recommendation is made that he devote few moments each day to the street corners. watching traffic.
 The laws of practically every city of any consequence in the country. and this includes Phoenix. Interprete tho right of way" as being the right of one vehicle to pass the point of inter section ahead of another approaching from the left, and arriving at the cor ner at the same instant.
 Further than this, the real point on which the law hinges is wheter or not it is necessary to yield this right of way to avoid a collision.
 It is the inter ton to base court deer Sions on the facts Of the case ana the man who endeavors in every possible way to avoid collisions will be tho one to be upheld in court
 It looks very much as though some stiff action were about to be taken by the local department in the handling of collision cases and reckless driving

 At any rate, Phoenix has reached
 the point where it is not a country vii lage, and where it will have to adopt the rigid rules and ordinances of tho

AUTO TIRE COMPANY
 MOVES TONEW HOME

An instance of the progressive spirit of local auto tire concerns is that of tho Auto Tire company. This concern has just completed the installation of its equipment and fixtures in it's new place of business at 439-41 West Washington street
 Outgrowing the old location at the corner of Second avenue and West Adams street, larger quarters were i'm perative. and after weeks of search. C. F. Siedel. proprietor of the establish ment found it necessary to buy out another tire concern, in order to obtain the proper location for his business.
 C. S. Thomas. operating the Money Saver Tire company at the Washing ton street location completed a deal with Siedel whereby the latter takes over all of Thomg stock, including a large stock of Braendner tires of which Thomas was distributor.

TEN YEAR OLD GAR
 STILL ON THE JOB

With a career lasting over 10 years to date, the old F.. NJ. F. car. shown above is still hale and hearty. and IS apparently still in the prime of it's automobilehood.
 Owned by R. H. Close of S41 North First avenue. it is used a tow and service car for his garage al the cor ner of Polk and First streets. in the rear of the Bluebird building.
 Close does not attempt to say how far this car has run. but estimates the mileage around 150 thousand. He states that for power and pep he could rot want a better car for his purposes than the old F. NE.
 The original body of the car was torn off long ago. and a couple of bucket seats substituted for the deep. old fashioned cushion that felt like a davenport, while a cowl was put on to protect the feet of the driver from the cold.

The old F NJ F pictured above is the property of R. H. Close who is still using the car as tow and wrecking car for his garage in the read of the Bluebird building on Polk and First streets.
 Close has not kept track of the mileage that this car has travelled. but in his ten years of ownership believes it has travelled about l50.000 miles
 The old fashioned body, with it's deep seat, has given way to the buck ct seats ond cut down rig, which are more practical for his purposes.
 Close states that this car has not required any mechanical overhauling whatever, still it runs as good today as the day he got it.
 If copper and bronze in the motor count for anything it would seem 10 the casual observer that the car will be good for about fifty years more. It certainly has pep and power in great plentitude.

Another valuable feature of this plan

very close proximity to the city, and
that the city has been cut off from

that certain unreliable newspapers

that they could claim advance in

Cured, it is thought by the Con
st:tutionalist leaders is for the pur-
pose of giving Iturbe a chance to
think it over and not make the city
the scene of conflict.
1t is we'll known that General
Flores has the city entirely at his
mercy, inasmuch as he could render
it helpless by cutting the water line
The water for the city is brought
from the mountains about thirty
miles away being carried by large
wooden pipe the latter half of the
distance To cut this pipe line and
divert the water would be an easy
matter for General Flores, and the
city would be absolutely helpless in
a few hours time; but it is pointed
out by the Constitutionalist leaders,
General Flores does not wish to cause
suffering on the part of the inhabit
ants of the city, and so is not likely
to take this step except as last re-
sort.
Should battle occur for the pos
session of the city the Gunboat Guer-
rero is now understood to be in the
harbor of Mazatlany and with her
guns could be of great assistance to
the defenders. 1t is also reported
that one of the hills near the city

guns and how many no one seems to

Flores has a number of field cannon
for use in case he is forced to besiege
the city, but Constitutionalist leaders

either surrender or make a compact
whereby he will join the new revolu-
ton.
