Chauffeur Says Walkers
Violate Safety Rules

My idea for helping reduce the
number Of fatalities and accidents is
for the pedestrian to get the sound
OF the whistle that blows north and
south. which is No. l. Next is No. 2
for east and west. The third is No. 3
for the cars 10 go around the bend.
The pedestrian should give more
services toward the traffic rule and less
talking. The adtoists should keep
their hands, upon the throttle and
their eyes upon the road. Also, give
more service and be more courteous
In busy hours. And don't forget to
give the right signals at all times,
stopping for all emergencies.
/ have been employed as a chauf-
feur for sixteen years, and find that
IL the pedestrians would obey the
rules as we chauffeurs do, they would
find that everything would work out
all right.

Antagonfsm within the ranks of the

Stop Left Turn Ban,
Is Chauffeur's Tip

I am a truck driver and naturally
I am uptown all day and see most
everything that happens.
There is only one way to stop traf-
fic jams and accidents, and that is
to stop that ordinance Of no left turn,
as people have 10 drive five or six
blocks out of their road, and that
keeps them up in the busy district
all the longer; and il people could go
left or right, as they choose, they
naturally would take the shortest way
home, and that would relieve conges-
ton rs per cent. They make left
turns in Chicago and New York City,
as 1 lived there and drove cars there,
and they handle the people and the
police here are just as competent as

LESTER LEE,

All pedestrians going up the side
walk should stay on the inside. All
pedestrians going down the sidewalk
should stay on the outside. People
should not stand In the middle Of the
sidewalk and talk. Men and women
stand on the sidewalks and you can't
get by. Keep moving. All people
should go to the corner before they

FOR BIG FIGHT

ing champion in the early rounds.
Promoetrs-those same promoters
who wished and worked unsuccess-
fully for the last 100000 of Demp-
sey's 100000 purse--say there will
be 10, 900 spectators at the ringside. 1t
seems at least that many seats win
be filed.
Hotels Crowded
The streets were packed this morn
ing with the holiday crowd. The
regular hotels and tents set up for the
fight were filled. The eating houses
were crowded and it was imsposible to
get into any place to drink unless
you stood in line for an hour.
Cowboys with their hair chaps give
the wild west atmosphere to the pic
ture. There was plenty Of liquor
and good beer" being handed around
and no one seemed to pack a thirst
that could not be quenched. This all
lent more jubilant spirit to the oc-
casion and helped to drown some of
that uneasiness which characterized
the last few days before the fight
when it did not seem it would be
staged.
The big fight was to get under way
at 3 p. M, mountain standard time.
The arena opened at 10 a. m, and the
first preliminary bout started at noon
While Gibbons prevails as the senti-
mental favorite, most of the critics
who have watched the champion and
his challenger through their training
were of the opinion Gibbons had only
one chance to win and that one chance
depends upon his style of attack.
Gibbons Is Confident
Gibbons said this morning he had
his plan firmly in mind and felt sure
he knew how to beat the champion.
Tommy said he knew he was fighting
for nothing in the money line and he
was willing to stake everything for
chance at the world title.
Seven special trains pulled into the
Great Northern yards this morning
and dumped a thousand or two
strangers who yelled in loud voices
they had come a long way to see a
new. heavyweight champion of the
world crowned" They were probably
from ST. Paul.
Dempsey seems to be in top notch
condition. He trained his own way and
| gradually worked himself up to the
point Of perfection.
Gibbons seemed a little stale to last
minute observers. There was strong
| evidence he had overturned. But no
one could make him believe it. He says
he never felt better.

We have one whistle for north and

Permanent Revocation
of License Advised

I suggest that pedestrians as well
as motorists be fined for failure to
strictly adhere to the traffic police

viction of an autoist who drives a
motor vehicle while intoxicated, I
would take that drivers license away
from him or her and never allow them
to drive again. Any sober, right
minded person will not go through
congested traffic without having the
car strictly under control, thereby
making it safe for pedestrians and
motorist alike. have driven a car
