Druggists Association
Plays Vital Role in

BY DIR. PAUL PEARSON,

What the National Association Of Retail DruggistsG
It merely an organization Of druggists designed promote
the selfish interests of its membefsf So the public would
have little interest in it, It is far than this It's
achievements in the halls Of Congress and before the Execu
wenyour years Of its existence show that the National
Association Of Retail Druggists closely related to the
public welfare than any other trade organization may
be- because the business Of the average retail druggist
intimately associated with the daily affairs Of the average
citizen than that Of any other business professional
Whatever the reason the fact remains that whenever
problem Of lawmakng law enforcement arises is usually
found that the public interest and the interest Of the retail
druggist are both affected What is more rule they
are both similarly affected.

Autos Get Space
Of EX-SideWalks

San Francisco, March .f-(By A..
P.)-San Francisco is shaving its
sidewalks. The automobile has come
tc be so common that comparatively
few San Franciscans walk. To COM
bat traffic congestion the man at the
/ wheel is 10 take some of the space
formerly dedicated to the man afoot.
In a population of approximately
100000 persons within the citys area
Of AZ square miles, there are 10000
motor vehicles.
One of the pedestrian ways being
shaved is Sacramento Street, where
the Nigilantes hung outlaws in the
early fifties. Traffic congestion has
become so great. however, that city
officials have decided that IL main
arteries of automobile travel must be
provided through the city.
When San Francisco was laid out.
It's founders made exceptionally wide
streets. Market street. the principal
business thoroughfare. being 125 feet
wide. but the automobile has upset
all calculations for the future.
Thus the policy has been adopted
that when any through streets are
repaired, the roadways will he wild
cned by cutting down the sidewalks
and forcing all superstructures. such
as poles, into underground conduits.
On streets where the sidewalks now
have a width of Is feet 1t has leen
found that pole lines carrying tele-
phone and light wires use up five feet
of this space. so that these sidewalks
can be cut to 10 feet without inter-
fering with pedestrian travel.
