IF 1 am waving traffic north and
south, pedestrians going in the op-
posite direction just keep right on.
The result is that they soon find
themselves directly in the path of an
approaching automobile and both
the motorist and pedestrians become
nervous and mad. My policy is TO
let them go until they get in an ac-
cident and then ( soak them.
In my opinion, the next thing
automobile manufacturers should per-
feet is an adequate signal light. 1t
should be placed on the rear of the
car and show the direction the driver is
going. And 1t should be automatic,
so arranged that II he turned his
steering wheel to the right, instan-
taneously the light on the rear would
show that he intended going in that
direction. The man who can perfect

jury decide up the legality of the
indictments. The defendants have
not yet pleaded to the indictments.

usual and unheard of spectacle of a

motions were entered with intent to
