Chief Scores Careless
Driving of Autos Here

Sharp concentrating and traffic

Capt. Headley. chief OF the Traffic
Bureau of the District police. in COM
menting on traffic conditions. "Au-
tomobile drivers should use their
heads" he said. Drivers wishing to
make a left-hand turn at any cor
ner should stick to the inside and
close to the curb.
MY men have been instructed to
make drivers who stop on the cross
walks take a right-hand turn. Au-
tomobilists must also remember the
hand signal when contemplating a
right or left-hand turn. Pedestrians
have the right to know which wav
the car is going to turn" Capt.
Headley concluded.

That we may have a greater and
more prosperous Albuquerque, is
the wish of every citizen when we
shall be able to translate that wish
into will, we shall achieve our am
bition, for we shall be able to
make a long pull, a strong pull
and pull altogether that will in
sure success.
Let US consider Albuquerque
from the standpoint of material
success. No large fortunes have
been made here, and not great
many of even moderate size. TIC
make money one must be where
money Is to be had Not many OF
us have the trading ability of the
three Hebrews who, when cast into
the seven-times heated furnace
began swapping knives when they
came out each had a better knife
and a dollar and half to boot.
The great fortunes of h e
United States have been made in
oil, mines, manufactures, transpor-
tation, merchandise, banking and
real estate. BY far the largest num-
Der of moderate-sized fortunes
hace been made in real estate
from the increased values of
property in growing citi e S.
whenever people come to a
city in large numbers, real estate
values increase, merchants sell
goods, labor is employed, and
everybody gets money.
Work and MOncy-and Nerve,
The great problem, it seems to
me, is how we may bring people
to Albuquerque. Can we induce
people in large numbers to come
here? Have we the nerve to face
the problem before us and solve it
To do so will take work and
money.
Charles Sumner once said: "Only
three things are necessary in life;
the first of these backbone; the
second of these is kbone, and
the third Of these is backbone"
Have we the backbone and the
grit necessary to make Albuquer-
que, within a few years, a city OF
five times it's present population ?
Such an achievement is possible
If we have a mind to work.
Albuquerque has made great
progress, compared with what this
city was when | first saw it eleven
years ago. The outlook from the
railroad station at that time was
a dreary one. The Alvarado hotel
and the Putney wholesale building
were the only good advertisements
in sight. Viewed from the station
Albuquerque was not thing OF
