His Duty is to Help Not Hinder
NiOtcrists-Tlmely Hints.
The popular opinion of the motor
ing public seems to be that a traffic
officer is a green-eyed monster Turk
ing in ambush. ready to spring at
the unoffending motorist at the least
provocation. However, this is not
the case The average traffic Of
dcer is, with few exceptions, good
fellow-congenial- agreeable, and
courteous. Motor from Maine to Cali
fornia, and you'll find them all the
same if you give them a square deal.
City officials can't afford to have
other than those with the qualifica
lions stated above in these positions.
Remember, the traffic officer is
only human, and cannot tell the di
rection you are going by the make
of your car or the number on your
registration plate. 1t is your duty to
reach out beyond The windshield and
DESIGNATE the direction you wish to
so by pointing the finger, or prefera-
bly, the hand, which can be much
palmer seen.
The traffic officers duty is to stop
speeding and careless driy-
ing, to quicken traiiic and avoid con-
gestion on the busy corners, and in
so doing he is projecting the lives of
the motorists, preventing accidents,
and saving time for all who drive
cars, whether for business or for
pleasure.
If is mn ia Won to aid the traffic.

will eliminate the trouble Of storage

BIG CITIES NOW THE LOSERS

A cursory study OF the building industry shows to what extent the
cities have been compelled to fight the exodus of city residents to the
suberbs and to the country. New construction started during the
first five months of 1924 for the entire country tota1led S2OOOOOO-
UO The activity has been so great that the momentum is bound to
carry the industry through the winter at a high 1evel, though iii is
now quite evident that building has been in excess OF the demand in
in the large centers of population while there has been comparatively
little construction in the smaller cities in the village and o II the
farms.
This condition has greatly stabilized values in the country
districts. Indeed, much wisdom has been shown in the careful way
in which this housing problem has been met by the men in the
country. Prior to the great demand for city homes country
real estate was at a low ebb. Then came the great pressure on the
city folks due to the enormous increase in rents. The rush for the
opened found the country ready for the absorption without pressing
necessity to increase the number of homes. The result is that
country properties have been turned for obligation into valuable in
come producing assets. The fact that city rents are still abnormally
high insures the safety OF the country districts. In the suburgs OF
the larger centers it is an accepted fact that the advance in values
IS now established on a permanently higher level. Once the city
IMAM tastes the glones of sunshine and gets a Whit of new mowr
hay the call OF the cabaret and the white lights make little or nc
appeal. Country life, like country newspapers, need only to be
appreciated.
