AMERICAN TRAFFIC REGULATIONS GIVEN
 PRAISE IN ENGLAND

LONDON Oct 16. American visitors to London. especially prom inent ones. are inclined to say pleasant things to their hosts, and Englishmen are not disinclined to listen. The latest example of this was given by Governor Cox, of Ohio. who is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying some very pleasing things about London as a city.
 But would it not be better all around, asks the Daily Chronicle. if they would give us some construc- tive criticism? Lamenting the ire quency of accidents on London streets this paper says: Why doesn't London initiate New York, which now leads the world in traf- fic regulations? It is perhaps too much to hope for the system of signal-boxes. semaphores and colored lights that make Fifth Avenue a model of safety and efficient traffic regulation. But at least we could follow New York's examples fin for bidding pedestrians to cross the roadway at dangerous crossings un- if the point policeman has arranged

 Another rule that is universal in America and Canada compels all motor traffic to stop dead until a tramcar has discharged and taken up it's passengers and started off again Why this rule is not adopted in England it is impossible to imagine.'
 Tt is nice to have Americans come here and throw lovely bou- quets at us, said an English writ CT, but I think they would do us more good if they occasionally told US point black of some of the things they find wrong with us.
