URGES PEDESTRIANS
OBEY TRAFFIC SIGNS
Expanding Scope of Stop and Go
Signals Suggested to Aid
in Solution.

An effort to make pedestrians as
we'll as vehicles observe the stop and
go signs at streets intersections was
suggested to the Commissioners to-
day in a letter from Russell T. Ed
wards of the eductional section of
the American Tree Association.
Mr. Edwards believes 1t would
make the streets safer and expedite
travel If pedestrians crossed inter-
sections with the traffic instead OF
against it.
"Congratulations to you on your
plan for making one-way streets to
help the traffic situation" wrote Mr.
Edwards. But it is not SO much
one-way streets as 'one-way walkers
that this town needs.
Despite all the good efforts of
Inspector Headley the traffic situa-
ton in the nations capital during
the rush hours particularly will never
be improved until the walker is mad e
to zee the come and go sign OF the
trafic man.
"It is absolutely ridiculous the way
walkers ignore the traffic mans sig
nails when he is trying to do his
best at such corners as 18th street
and Pennsylvania avenue, 14th street
and Pennsylvania avenue and at other
crowded points
II have made some study Of the
traffic at 42d and 9Th avenue and
42d and Broadway in New York city.
There the walker never thinks OF
stepping off the curb when traffic
is not going his way. He would be
arrested at once without argument.
as would the automobile driver who
attempted the same thing. In New
York, and l believe here, the traffic
man wants traffic to move when he
gives the signal and get out of his
way. Under the conditions existing
here this cannot be done with the
walker going a half dozen ways at
once and almost always against the
go sign.
Let us have the one-way streets
by all means, but also let US have
the one-way walker"

LOWER COURT REVERSED.

The District Court OF Appeals to-

the Automobile Accessories Company
Of Baltimore, now known as the No
Leak-O Piston Ring Company. such

cation filed by Chandlee in : the

patent was issued and ChandieeS re-
fused to make the assignment. it
was charged. The lower court held
that the plaintiff was not entitled to
specific performance, but might sue
at law for damages.
Chief Justice Emyth rendered the
opinion of the appellate court re-
vsrsing this r.1itnErand holding that
a specific perfornS9nce may be re-
Quired.
