Under the working conditions Of

A little later, at the double inter
section at Fifteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue and the boulevard
skirting the south end of the Treas
ury Building. the watchful judge re-
marked suddenly:
Now, look at that"
He directed attention to an auto
mobile bound north on Fifteenth
street which had stopped almost
squarely in the middle of the street
to await the traffic policeman's sig
nal to go" The machine was driven
by a woman.
Judgment Helps Progress.
You see there" continued the
traffic expert, "how the lack of a
little judgment, or bit of thought
fulness, can be the cause of lot OF
traffic trouble. The lady has tied up
all eastbound traffic simply by not
driving up closer to the car tracks
and leaving room behind her for
these eastbound machines to pass

traffic policeman to straighten out.

work of four. Those machines
should have lined up about four
abreast then, instead of one behind
