same hours Of the day. The increase in
street traffic seems TO show that the city
has grown and Is growing fast
SOME PROBLEMS
From observations of Officer Jordan
and other members of the traffic squad,
some OF the things that make trouble for
the traffic officers are:
The stalled motor.
The woman driver who is too slow at
shifting gears and pulls the wrong lever.
The man who tries to put one over
on the traffic officer by starting over Just
as the semaphore is turning to stop"
An arguing driver who wants to know
why 'you let the traffic 60 the other way
so much, and not this side
Strangers from the country, new to
traffic regulations.
A trolley pole which jumps the wire.
Drivers who fail to indicate which way
they wish to turn.
The woman who starts across the street
and then changes her mind, and stops in
the middle Of traffic.
The acquaintance who wants to stop
and talk awhile.
Traffic officers would be glad to hear of
the invention by some genius like Henry
Ford or Thomas Edison or Westinghouse
OF a non-stallable motor. They would
thank some association which would flood
the country districts with matter educa-
tional, telling little about city traffic
regulations. They would be thankful if
all street car mOtormen were as intelli-
gent as some of them are. And they would
be glad If all drivers and pedestrians would
keep m a good humor-that would help
TO keep the traffic squad in better humor
and would make life little more pleasant.
Some of the larger cities have provided
many improvements and conveniences for
the men who look after keeping traffic
