WHAT ARE STREETS
 FOR?

Now comes an article by well known writer suggesting that, un- less the automobile industry does something in "cut down the naming of people by automobiles and to nm prove the manners of many automo- bile drivers" laws will be passed which will seriously hamper the manufacture of automobiles.
 In other words the manufacturer of automobiles and the dealers who sell them are to be made responsible for the manners of thos6~~who drive motor cars!
 It seems to be in line with ths pop ular idea of the place the automobile has in the life of the city, state and nation. Already the automobile dealer has been required 10 sponsor the morals of the purchaser of his Ye- hicles. As long as the dealer is do- ing that, perhaps he ought to quaran- tee manners, too.
 Under the federal law the automo- bile can be confiscated If a bottle of whisky is found in the pocket. If the dealer has a mortgage on such a car-well he loses his equity
 What are the streets and roads for?
 They are arteries of commerce. Traffic must move on them, if busi- ness is to carry on. Pedestrains must also cross them. It ends there. The streets are not play grounds.
 Stop the automobiles and trucks and commerce stops No question about it. If you don't believe it just try it in some town for a week.
 Every time there is a tie-up in street car or railroad transportation, the automobile steps into the brech. Business continues to move, thanks to this most necessary method of transportation.
 Then the tie-up ends. An automo- bile kills someone. News of the strike trickles onto the back page of the newspapers and Is replaced on the front page by this unfortunate acci- dent.
 Let's start at the bottom of things. The automobile is necessary. So Is the pedestrian traffic. Both have rights. Nothing Is solved by taking away the rights of either. Curtal the automobile and business is curtailed.
 Most laws are directed at the auto mobile. If there is an accident 1t is the automobile drivers fault. A rigid investigation of accidents-wtth the official mind entirely free of prejudice might find that many of them are the fault of the pedestrains.
 The thing to do is to regulate both. The sidewalk Is for the pedestrian. He has no more right on the street except at crossings-than the auto mobile has on the sidewalk-except at crossings. The pedestrian should have no more right to cross the street against automobile traffic than the automobile has to cross when the

 James Bowden, popularly known up and down auto row. as Jim" has made a new connection and Is now with the Detroit Motor car organiza- tion.
 Jim has been in the automobile business so long that it Is not re- membered just when he got into the game but he is one of the best liked and most successful salesmen.
 MT. Bowden says that the sale of Jewett and Paige cars is going to make him even more successful, for he finds that these lines are in brisk demand and Lawrence Pennington's the violator of the regulations whether it be pedestrian ar automo- bile driver.

BUILDING ON INCREASE
Rose Terrace To Get Thirty New
Homes In 1923, Says Dickinson.

More than thirty modern homes will
be constructed in Rose Terrace during
1928, according to II. f. Dickinson,
owner. -Four houses, being built by
Mr.. Dickinson on Arlington Court are
nearing completion, he says. Crowds
of prospective buyers are reported
visiting Rose Terrace daily inspecting
the new homes.
"These homes are being sold at cost, :"
Mr.. Dickinson says, "and not for
speculation purposes but to promote
Rose Terrace, which is one of the most
beautiful subdivisions in San Antonio
There is no cheap construction in
these homes but they are built sub
stantially. They are beautifully de-
signed, both in exterior and interior
and the rooms are large. They arc
priced comparatively low, which is
under $4,000 and may be purchased
with $3.50 cash and $50 a month, which
includes interest. They are easily
worth $1,000 more than their purchase
price"
Hundreds of prospective buyers are
visiting the new homes daily. Mr..
Dickinson reports. When they are COM
pleted he expects to sell them easily.
lie has had several requests by pros
pective home owners to duplicate the
houses already constructed.

Wright Says Place Appears Too Muc.,
Like "Old Times

There is a dwelling on Matamoras
street that smacks too much of the
pre-war days in the belief of Fire
and Police Commissioner Wright. He
issued instructions TO the members of
the detective vice squad, while acting
as police judge in the absence Of Judge
Wilkeas, Thursday, to put the place
out Of commission.
Il want that place raided," de-
clared the commissioner. Il want you
to put it out of business il you have
to raid it every night and arrest every
body in it nightly. That place, from
all accounts here today, is too much
like the old days."
Attention was directed TO the dwell
ing when a flashily dressed woman ap-
peared as the complaining witness
against two men, arrested Wednesday
night on charges of disturbing the
peace. The woman in her testimony
in describing the place referred TO
parties" the dancing parlor" anil
the presence of numerous women,
whose peace was disturbed by the hi
larious conduct Of the two defendants.
II am going TO fine each Of these
men S1O," said the acting judge, but
l insist that place be raided."

+ Polo Grounds. New York. Oct. IL
Stunned into late sleeping, perhaps
by the thrills of yesterdays epic
game, which Casey Stengel won for
the New York Nationals with a
ninth-inning home-run, Gotham's jad-
ed baseball fans arrived slowly at the
Polo Grounds today Tor the second en-
counter between the champions of the
two major baseball leagues for the
worlds title.
The baseball bug who SCOTS at the
league games and bites only on world
series bait got a surprise when he
came into the historic old arena.
Since last year the outfield bleach
ers have been almost wiped out and
the double-decked grandstand extend
ed until it forms almost a complete
enclosure with a small horseshoe
opening, broken in the center with an
electric scoreboard.
5000 in Early Crowd.
In this enclosure 5000 fans who
had TO get up early or watch the
game downtown on an electric score
board, were patiently seated when
lne brass band ,trudged onto the field.
Those who didn't sleep last night were
Kept awake and those who did were
put TO sleep with a soothing melody
that sounded like distant cannonading.
The carly fans filed into the park
iazily and leisurely.
There we're occasional sounds of
revelry when Nick Altrock and AL
Schacht, the buffoons of baseball did
thelr stuff. The comedians gave Il
new touch today, double-barreled ar
sument with an imaginary umpire in
the direction of whose phantom pres
cree they threw clouds of dust and
then imagined themselves chased from
the park. A five-year-old boy aided
the act.
Advance guards of the two teams
came onto the field almost simultanc-
ously. but there was hardly a ripple
from the crowds.
Yanks Look Jaunty.
Looking jaunty and full of fight.
It wouldn't have been guessed that the
Yankees had lost the opening game

that all the breaks went TO the Giants
in the opening tussle and they would
have better luck.
