of it's newest incarnations.
Black crepe is used for the full

Is Jay w alking Safer
Certainly Seems &c. Argues Expert, Suggesting Way Out

I Most accidents to pedestrians occur
BAT the crossings, yet we insist on edu-
eating the public against jaywalking !.
This is the tenor of the argument
for safer crossings in crowded sec
tions of cities, presented by Ewart
Williams Hobbs in the National Safe
ty News for July. At the same time
Hobbs presents a possible solution 10
this important phase of the traffic
problem.
1t isn't fair, he says, to urge the
pedestrian to cross only at intersec-
tions while these are the most hazard
Ous spots. IF we wish to keep him
off that portion of the highway be-
Tween intersections, he adds. "we
must make the intersections attrac-
hive TO him."
We are not doing this, Hobbs
maintains. We he re traffic officers
Bat crossings-"who temporarily block
traffic, making it move in waves like
|h many-footed caterpillar on a still
summers day." We have buttons,
Bumpers or mushrooms which can
easily be straddled by reckless drivers.
And there are dummy policemen and
all sorts of stanchiOns to guide motor
traffic.
\ But they do not prevent accidents

Fdasion, or any sort of education

Physical Prevention.
"The general principle to be OBJ
served in the protection of the pedes-
trian is physical prevention, rather
than moral suasion," he says. ave
will really get nowhere until street
crossings are equipped with honest

to experiment little.'

system for controlling traffic, Hobbs
considers two methods. One is what
he calls the gyratory system, by which
the traffic swings about a central
pivot or circular park. at enters the
procession and leaves it, and does not
cross Immediately" he explains.
But there's a serious objection to
this plan.
"The traffic keeps moving which is
good for the traffic, but not SO good
for the pedestrians. The gyratory
system also requires elbow room,
which can i'll be spared in big bust
ness section"
The other plan for traffic control
and greater safety, is the erection of
barriers in the middle of the streets
at the four points of the cross roads.
But these barriers must be "of suf-
ficient width to insure stability,
height to prevent straddling and low
ness to prevent concealment of small
objects such as children"
Also, shaped long and rather high,

BIG DEMAND FOR
A PRACTICAL SEAT
COVER, SAYS ALLEN
Pablo Wants Interior Of
Car Immediately Clean,
He Asserts.

According to T. E. Allen, factory
representative of the J. F.. Gordon
company, Columbus, Ohio - the
worlds largest manufacturers of au-
tomobile seat and tire covers-there
is an ever-increasing demand for
practical seat cover that is easy TO
put on, quick and easy to detach for
washing.
"The motoring public readily ap.
prcciates the genuine comfort and
satisfaction of having the interior of
the car Immediately clean and invit-
ing at all times" says Mr.. Allen.
"They therefore must have covers
without fancy frills and trimming
which only prevent them from being
Numbered"
To better acquaint the motorists Of

their contour prevents a direct and
destructive crash. And, most impor-
tant, "they give less confusing line
Of traffic and afford safety to pedes-
trians halfway across the street"
Such barriers would practically, di-
vide a wide road into two narrow
streets. And the narrow street, ar
CUES Hobbs, is the safest.
IAN experienced traffic officer will
tel you that, generally speaking, fewer
accidents occur on narrow streets than
on broad ones. The reason is that
automobile traffic is flexible. An au.
tomobile can circle around a street
car, cut across, move in and out. per.
form all sorts of exciting contortion:

Mr.. Allen has authorized Nevelow

an excellent opportunity to equip

THE HAVE-NOTS

Would you learn courage? Go to the havenots of the
world. Talk with them. Study them. Initiate them in the
eheerfulness of their spirit-Tthen be ashamed of yourself for
whining, worrying and complaining about things.
Who are you that you are not among them? And Tor that
blessing you return discomfort and ingratitude.
The haye-nots of sight. More beautiful than the beau
ties of the universe, which their sealed eyes can never behold,
is the expression of resignation and peace upon their coun-
tenance.
The havenots Of sound. Shut out forever from the music
Of the world, the songs of nature and the words Of humanity,
their souls vibrate to the tunes Of tranquility and content
ment.
The have-nots of health. The cripple who would give the
world to walk as you do. The chronic ~dyspeptic who would
give his last cent to be able to enjoy food as you do. The
fated consumptive who battles always hopefully but vainly to
acquire strength such as you possess.
The have-nots of love. The little orphan children who
never know the joy Of a mothers loving arms or a fathers
protecting care. The homeless and the friendless who know
not the comfort of a single soul who truly loves them. The
aged who travel alone and YEARLY along the road of life.
From these handicapped heroes imbibe courage.
Down on your knees my friends and thank God for your
blessings if you are not among the have-nots of the world.
