ton, state automobile license number, and the
number on the complimentary visitors tag which
was given to him by the executive secretary in |
charge.
"The tag is of metal, about three inches
square, with white lettering on blue back
ground Boy Scout, stationed at headquarters,
wired the tag to the radiator of the car, and the
driver thus equipped Immediately became Off
cially guest of the city and was to be treated
with the utmost courtesy. The tag was practic-
ally key to the city and meant that if the
motorist was guilty of some minor infraction of
the traffic regulations, he was let off with a
warning and not arrested. The mayor reasoned
that it is impossible for visitors from other states
to become familiar at once with all state and
local traffic regulations and therefore they were
to be granted few privileges.
In addition to the complimentary tag, the
tourist was given large envelope containing
maps of roads in the state, motorists manual
summary of Minneapolis traffic regulations and
other material of interest and value to strangers.
Should the tourist desire any other information,
Mrs. L. A. Hazer, the executive secretary, was
prepared to give it. A thousand and one ques-
tions were asked her every day, ranging from
queries as to conditions of roads in every part
of the country and the way to reach certain
who would perform marriage ceremony for a
visiting couple. To encourage the policemen in
giving out invitations the mayor started a prize
contest to determine which officer handed out
/ the most"
/ Very little, if any, fault, can be found with
the Minneapolis plan. The whole system rests
on the theory that it pays to be courteous under
all circumstances, and especially so to strangers.
Very few visiting motorists are acquainted
with the traffic regulations of the cities through
which they are passing. A sullen order from an
officious traffic officer, sometimes followed by
a stiff fine in the municipal court for an unin.
territorial violation of traffic ordinance does
more damage to a city than all the literature
} and efforts of Chamber of Commerce can do
to attract strangers and to make them feel at
home

TO be encouraged everywhere. A city known fol

THE NEW DRIVER
BY WALT MASON

I said to James Augustus Barr,
when first he bought himself a car.
"Shun streets where crowds are thick,
hunt up some thoroughfare remote,
and there propel your painting boat
until you've learned the trick. The
half-baked driver is a frost. and many
priceless lives are lost for his besot-
ted sake; emergencies arise, alas, and
then he steps down on the gas when
he should use the brake. ! beg YOU
]. Augustus Barr, to keep off Main
Street with your car, until you've
learned to drive; because, of drivers
brash and new ten thousand sleep be-
meath the dew, who still should be
alive" But James Augustus is bore
who knows it all, and then some more,
and balks at counsel wise; and so
i he fooled his boat along among
! the Main Street shopping throng,
and crippled seven guys. And Of
the seven five will sue to get the
money they feel due for sundry broil-
en- limbs; and two in righteous
wrath have said that they will punch
the drivers head. and blacken both

shame that boobs, before they've
learned the game, may drive through
crowded marts; the cops should pincf

Courtesy TO Tourists

A city gains it's reputation for courtesy by
the reception which it accords to transient resi-
dents and tourists. Richmond, for instance, has
been nationally advertised by the free camping
site in Glen Miller park by wandering motorists.
But this manifestation of our interest in
tourists must be supplemented by an unfaltering
courtesy of the individual citizens when they
come into contact with visitors.
The fine impression created by the free park
ing site may be vtiated by some citizens who
neglect to supply tourist with directions or in
formation about the city. If the Richmondte
doesn't manifest an interest in supplying such
information, or if he is slow in extending cour-
tesy, the stranger may leave our city with a
distinctly hostile opinion.
In some cities special efforts are made to well
come the tourist and make him feel at home, on
the theory that a satisfied tourist will return
and perhaps bring others with him. Minneapo-
lis has devised a method whereby the tourist is
quickly shown a hearty welcome. The system
depends for its success upon the police depart
ment.
A. A. Erickson secretary to the mayor of
Minneapolis thus describes the plan in The
American City:
Each traffic officer was supplied with pad
of invitations, with instructions from the chief
of police to hand an invitation to each motorst
whose license tag showed him to be from some
other state. Obviously it was impossible to dis,
tinguish the tourist from within the state who
happened to come to Minneapolis.
THE tourist would then drive to the Gate
way, beautiful building in the downtown dis
trct built by the park board, where the com
mttee had its headquarters. Here the visitor
was asked to register name, residence destina

not more than one or two of our
debtors could pay now.
If the administration gets the author
ity which it is seeking from congress
it will undoubtedly change the form of
these debts, including the accumulated
interest into long term bonds at
reasonably low rate of interest.
If this were done, it would be long
step toward recovery in a business
sense for the European nations. The
existence in the budgets of these ma
tons of large overdue debt makes

money and otherwise set their houses
