LEFT SIDE Of ROAD
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Urged as Means to Avoid Ap-
preaching Autos on Coun-
try Highways.

On account of the many accidents
to pedestrians on country roads at
night, it is suggested that it is safer
for the pedestrians to use the left
hand side of the roadway when on a
suburban road with no sidewalks. In
this way the pedestrian will be able
to face all of the oncoming traffic
and avoid it accordingly.
With warmer weather hare and
spring approaching rapidly the SUI
burban roads viii soon be swarming
with walkers. ~ afas
Pedestrian Oftcn to Blame.
There is no question that many Of
these country road accidents are pri-
marily caused by the pedestrian and
not the motorist. On country roads
a driver of a machine keeping within
the legal rate of speed. finds it ex-
aeedingly difficult, especially on
dark night, to discern a pedestrian
along the side of the road. This dan
ger is multiplied if two cars with
binding headlights are passing the
pedestrian. If there is more than
one walker abreast on any of the
present day narrow roads ahe re-
suit is almost bound to be disas-
trouS for the walker.
Recent accidents in and around
Washington have shown that the pc
destrian has been walking with mis-
back to the car that hit him and that
In most of the cases two cars were
passing at the time, thereby taking
up the entire roadway.
In one recent fatal accident. testi-
mony showed that the pedestrians
were walking three abreast on
road in Maryland. a car and large
truck met at this point and one of
the pedestrians was killed and others
seriously hurt.
Advice to Those Who Walk.

On January 21st the Paige Daytona Model
600 broke every stock car record for speed
when it covered measured mile in 35.01
seconds-a pace Of 1923 miles per hour.
This marvellous feat was accomplished on
the sand beach at Daytona, Florida and both
the time and chassis checking are officially
attested by the Contest Board of the Aneri-
can Automobile Association
Today therefore, Paige stands as the I'M
questioned stock car champion of the world.
And, what is even more, the entire line OF
Paige 6-66 Models is revealed as the most i'm
portant altomotive development of the age.
Henceforth these cars must be recognized
by the entire world as Speed Masters of the
highway There need never be humiliating
dust for the 6-66 owner because he will drive
with the serene confidence of the true
chanpion-and his horn blast will be more
than an idle boast.

And she was to make her premiere
as such as the headliner of an all
star bill at Keiths Monday.
When Miss Ella Shields left Balt-
more and Washington, where she
had spent so many happy hours, and
braved a foreign land to fight her way
to success, she dreamed OF the day
when she would return a star before
a Capital audience. In her mind 8
eye she pictured herself occupying a
suite in a certain hotel then in the
hey-day Of its popularity and renown.
So when the boat locked in New
York Sunday she wired from the ship
to this hotel, asking them to reserve
a suite for her.
She did not dream that Washing
ton was one whit different from the
Image of the grand old town OF 1902
vintage that she had been carrying
in her mind.
Arriving here. she drove to the
hotel and peered out expecting the

Alas, there was no resplendant

taxi man to drive on.

SCHEDULE CUT
Maryland Commuters Declare
Company Has Slipped One
Over on Them"

Maryland commuters into the Dis
trict from Laurel, Beltsville, Muir
kirk and Berwyn are indignant.
They say the Washington Railway
and Electric Company has put one
over on them overnight.
SCHEDULE Is CHANGED.
Today they learned for the nrst
time that instead OF a thirty-minute
schedule between Washington and
Berwyn, the cars would be run on a
forty-five- minute schedule. The
schedule from Washington to Laurel
also has been changed, cars running
one hour and "a half apart against the
lour schedule formerly in effect.
To protest against the change of
ar schedule, residents OF the four
communities will meet tonight at the
Berwyn chapel in conjunction with
the Berwyn Citizens Associations.
Resolutions will be drawn up and
sent to the Maryland Public Service
Commission demanding that the COM
pany be ordered to return to the old
schedule.
NO TIP on CHANGE.
II. Herbert Smith, paying teller IT
at National Savings and Trust Com
pany, has called the meeting. 1t is
knew until today, when the new
schedule took effect, of the change.
"The Washington Railway Company
has crippled the development Of the
Maryland communities" said j. II.
Hazard, salesman, of Berwyn, be
cause Of it's poor car service in the
past. The fact that this new change
has been made will further prevent
development.
"Twenty-three years ago the old
City and Suburban Railway Company,
later absorbed by the Washington
Company. opened the line between
Washington and Berwyn. The fare
was Is cents, there being three zones.
At that time there were only twenty
five houses in Berwyn and the cars
were on one-half hour schedule.
"Sincetthen there has been a so per
cent fare increase and $500 per cent
traffic increase. There are 200 houses
now in Berwyn.

had cars to and from Berwyn on the
during the morning and evening rush
hours.
CARS OVERCROWDED.
"Those Of us who live in Berwyn
and other places on the route to
Laurel frequently are unable to get
on a car during the rush hours be-
cause they are already crowded with
people who live between Washington
and Riverdale.
1.-The company should use the Ber-
wyn and Laurel cars for the residents
Of those places alone during the rush
hours. But what does the Washing
ton Railway Company care?

night and we hope we will get results
from the Maryland public service
