Make Traffic Towers
Ornamental as Well
as Useful Is Plan

New York. Correspondence of The
Associated Press. - Having found
Fifth avenues traffic signal towers
useful, the police department now has
determined to make them artistic.
The five utilitarian structures,
located at strategic points along New
York's show thoroughfare, will be re-
placed with towers in keeping with the
architectural beauty Of the avenue. A
design has been selected from hun
dred submitted by artists competing
for prizes offered by the Fifth Ave-
nue. association.
The new towers, almost entirely OF
bronze. will rest on granite bases and
rise % feet above the street. The
lower part will be open and the upper
part. enclosed in glass, will give an
unobstructed view up and down the
avenue. Tending blocks on each corner
of the base will fend off traffic and
protect the tower.
The traffic police who will occupy
the artistic observation posts have
been much interested in the endeavor
to make the towers as artistic as pos
sibIe.
They'll be putting silk curtains in
the window before they get through

PUBLICITY ON CHINA DEALS
ADOPTED But Teeth DRAWN
to Compel Nationals to Divulge Concessions
From Picking; Chinese Disappointed

Washington, Jan. 21.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press. Two more Ameri-
can resolutions based on the principle
of open diplomacy and an open door
of commercial opportunity in China
were adopted Saturday by the far east
ern committee.
The proposal for showdown Of all
international agreements affecting
China's interests, presented by Sec
rotary Hughes, was given committee
approval only after a score of amend
ments had been added, but American
spokesman insisted its meaning had
not been materially changed.
Under provisional declaration pro-
posed by Elihu Root and accepted, the
powers agree not to support, in the
future, any engagements entered into
by their nationals, designed to create
special spheres Of influence or exclu-
sive opportunities within China.
New Era OF Open Dealing
The two decisions were hailed in
American quarters as insuring new
era of open dealing and fair play in
all that pertains to China's economic
development. BY the Chinese delega-
ton, however, they were not received
with an equal enthusiasm, one Chinese
spokesman saying his colleagues were
not very well satisfied with the final
form of the proposal for treaty pub
Lefty. Among the Japanese, the in
tent and substance of the publicity
resolution were given warm approba
ton, but grave doubts were expressed
as to the possibilities Of its practical
application to engagements and condi-
tions that may be made in China by
individuals.
Powers Agree To Compile Lists
Throughout the debate, the Japa-
nese held to their view that Toxic had
no authority to compel its nationals to
divulge details of their engagements
in China. and it was said in japanese
circles that the qualifying phrase I'M
der which lists Of Chinese engage
ments are to be las nearly complete
as may be possible might turn out to
be a significant feature of the reso-
luton.
As adopted. the Hughes proposal
provides that the powers other than
China agree to compile lists of their
own commitments and those of their
nationals in China and to forward the
texts to the secretary general Of the
conference when convenient. Future
similar agreements must also be filed
within go days after completion. In
two additional articles. China agrees
to be bound by the same stipulations
as to informing the other powers; and
nations not represented here are in
vited to adhere to the arrangement.
Important Deals Escape
A point stressed by the Chinese in
their criticism of the final form Of the
agreement was that it contains no pro
vision for filing contracts other than
those to which one of the signatory
governments or its local authorities
are party. Some of the most impor-
tant railroad and loan contracts now

plan adopted calls for payment of 30
per cent of the deposits in from two to
four years, while the remaining half

Subscribers Not Liable
OWing to an erroneous impression
that stockholders in the holding com

the agreement be signed, but with the
assurance of competent legal author
itles that IN SHINING the agreement the
deposltors would assume no oblipa-
tons IN this regard, the reorganization
plan IS going forward satisfactorily. it
was stated Saturday.
In statement issued by committees

Saturday evening, all depositors who
have not signed the agreement were
furnished the following information
and urged to give their assistance in
the reorganization work:

other points TO be remembered
In connection with safe and sane
driving when touring over roads
that you are not familiar with are
as follows: fv
& Do not take q chance racing over
grade crossing or rough bridge
at the base Of q hill In order to
make the grade on high gear. This
is common practice amongst motor
ists/ and often results IN broken
springs, damage to tires and ac$i.
dents at grade crossings. = II does
not hurt the mechanism Of a car
In the least to take hills on second
gear; as a matter Of fact. II 70 much
easier on the motor and machinery
In general. particularly when the
grades are steep enough to cause
the motor to labor.
You will often see motorists take
q start Of 80 to 10 miles per hour
on narrow roads with poor sur.
face and curves with q view of
getting over q grade on high gear.
What q chance they are taking! 1t
has always been my opinion that
only the inexperienced drivers prar-
tice this. but when acting a. pilot
for the truck train on the Michigan
Pixies Association tour two years
ago. noticed that the caravan
following me held an even pace
until we entered the hiily section
Of Ontario between North Bay and
Espanola. Then for unknown
reasons the trucks fell behind. An
investigation : on the next hill
showed that the drivers Of several
touring cars that followed the pilot
would hold up the whole truck
train waiting to take q run at the
hill In race fashion In order to
avoid shifting gears. When II
would have been much easier on
the car and required less effort on
the part of the driver to follow the
pilot at an even pace.
A little farther on the several a.
visions OF the tour assembled to-
gether at q given point for the NOV,
ing picture man to get In his work.
ana In getting under way again
after the pictures I noticed that the
band. speakers and tourists division
instead Of starting as q body. each
car made an individual high-speed
run for q hill OF no consequence.

and taking q chance Of wrecking Q
car. It was rather surprising to
see representatives Of automobile
factories and dealers setting such
q poor example. However, after sx.
planning the folly OF this to the
touring car drivers. In the truck
train they saw the point and
changed their tactics.
The above instructions are not
intended to teach you 70 slow up
when approaching all hills as there
are many grades on good roads with
approaches that are free from
danger where It is desirable to take
advantage Of a good start. On the
other hand this In intended to direct
your attention to the chances that
you are taking under certain condi.
tons and to the fact that you may
be driving in reckless fashion and
not be aware Of II.
The Washington times., 1922-10-15

Analysis OF statistics complied BY
state road commissions and by the
heads Of Traffic Departments in
some Of our largest cities dispe!s
q popular belief that the majority
Of autonobile accidents occur on
steep grades, sharp curves and
grade dressings. II has been found
in most cases that a large majority
are caused by recklessness on the
part OF motorists and probably
more than 30 per cent result from
speeding. Records show that q
very large number happen at
points on highways Nhat have been
considered comparatively safe. while
sections that have been generally
regarded as extremely dangerous
are proving to be relatively free
from accidents.
BY making a check on tha wrecks
you see strewn along the highways
in most any community ] believe
the above facts will be borne out.
As an example on the road between
Detroit. and Toledo: The writer
has occasion to use this road very
often as an outlet to the South and
East from Michigan and while the
road IL practically fiat, with only
a few curves and right angle turns,
I have noticed numerous wrecks
along the straightaways and practi-
cally none at the curves. The fact
that the curves are announced with
danger signs no doubt accounts for
this. and II Ia only natural that we
assume that accidents along the
straightaways are caused by high
speed. recklessness and misjudg.
ing distance when passing cars
going in>the same direction. There.
fore, youN can readily see that there
are other dangers aside from grade
crossings and sharp turns which
we all must learn to sense in order
to be thoroughly careful drivers
and to avoid accidents.
On account Of many accidents
that happen on the Detroit Toledo
road, as a result Of speeding and
reckless driving, particularly dur
ing wet weather and after dark.
this comparatively safe paved high.
way is being regarded as-a partic-
