SOVIET LEADER
 BRANDS HUGHES
 IMPERIALHTIC
Serves Only Bankers And Capitalist, Says
 Tchitcherin
(By Associated Press)

MOSCOW, Sept. 26.-All the facts indicate that a compromise between the interests of the United States and the Russian Soviet government is to be de- sired and that it is quite within reach, Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of Russia declared today in belated reply to the announcement of American policy to- wards Russia made by Secretary of State Hughes.
 The Russian foreign secretary in a carefully prepared 2,5OO word inter- view with the Rosta Agency, bristling with augmentation but marked by polite and emphatic language, set forth the Russian point of view on Russo American relations and according to the interpretation placed upon his declara- tions by many persons here, held out the olive branch to the United States.
 From the fact that the soviet gov ernment serves the interests of the la- barring masses and the government of Secretary Hughes serves the interests of American capitalists" NJ. Tchitchei- in said, it does not follow that com promise between the two governments is not possible. On the contrary all the facts indicate that such compro- mise is to be desired and that it is quite within reach"
 Concerning Russia's debt to the States the Russian foreign minister de- clared that his government had already offered to negotiate with Washington respecting this question. He cited tl.e recently concluded Anglo-Russian sible to make indemnity agreements lot xx-hi profitable to both sides"
 NJ. Tcitcherin contends the argument of Secretary Hughes regarding the ir- reconcilabilty of the economic policy of Soviet Russia and the United States is without basis, adding ''the Anglo Russian agreement proves that despite the wide difference between the eco- homie systems of England and Russia, it was possible to reach an agreement on a basis of equality. It apparently does not enter Mir. Hughes head that such an agreement between the United States and Russia is possible"
 Sketches Career
 The Russian official gives detailed sketch of MT. Hughes career, attempt ing to show that he rose to power by serving American banking and capital lSllC lHJcIcSlS uS OppOScu tO tHc ests of working men. He says Mir. Hughes working policy in regard to Russia and it's population is in full con sonance with his best activity.
 NJ. Tchitcherin accuses Mir. Hughes of being the leader in movement of world imperialists against Soviet Rus sia and the colonial peoples of the world, the chief object of which, he says, is the annihilation of Soviet Rus sia.
 While Mir. Hughes is delivering pa cifist speeches" the Soviet minister continues" The imperialists with his sd are carrying on bloody activities in

Three Traffic Tricks.

When stopping at a crossing keep
your brakes on tight until the car be-
hind you comes to a dead stop. Should
the car to the rear skid or not be
stopped properly 1t might push your
car ahead. causing you to run into
a pedestrian crossing the street. Bet
ter take a chance on having the gas
tank punctured than have an acci-
dent. Where there are no pedestrians
crossing in front of your car, how
ever, Just reverse this suggestion.
If your car is one of three ap-
preaching crossing at the same
time, one car being to your right
and the third to the right of this
one, the car approaching you has the
righ. of way. While the car to your
right has a prior right to cross before
you 1t is traffic economy for you
to go right ahead and cross as the
third car crosses, leaving the car to
your right to the last. This car to
your right cannot cross while the
third car is crossing. but you can.
So why not?
In passing a street car where the
streets are not in good order there
is great danger of being caught in
tut that win prevent you from keep
ing a safe distance from the car. IL
the man behind you is sounding his
horn and urging you to let him pass
just turn over into the tracks behind
the street car and let him try his
luck. More power to him. He may
need II.

Signs of the Times.


According to recent developments
in the billboard advertising industry,
the motorist is soon to be able to
"see America first" when he goes
a-touring. Just now it is a matter
of seeing the biNboards first.
Some fifteen large users of outdoor
advertising pace have agreed to cur
tail their billboard messages. or at
least use more discretion in placing
them. That the Standard Oil Com
pany of New York and of California,
the Washburri- Crosby Company and
the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company
are among the leaders in this move
ment is hint enough that America
should shortly emerge from behind
collar advertisements and liver pills
adj. The follow the leader tendency
will doubtless be pronounced.
That the California Standard Oil
Company is taxing down 1900 signs
in Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Ari-
zona and California does not mean
that the country is necessarily to
witness an end of the billboard.
France and Switzerland prohibited
the. billboard from the highways, but
american auto lOuElStS are d pTdC-
teal lot. and it is believed that they
will louk with favor upon the con-
tinuati of signs that serve prac-
tical purposes ..
Such signs are hotel anror :ements
upon the approach to st uge city.
Marking of dangerous poi by bill
boards is not only good ivertising
but practical safety work. Signs that
tell a little something of historical
value regarding points OF interest
also have their place.
The Standard Oil Company of New
York is also planning to furnish free
to concessionnaires model designs for
highway booths as a means of put
other unsightIy roadway feature. All
in all it begins TO look as though
America will have chance to be
seen, and seen safely, by motorists.

PEDESTRIAN ASKED
TO EXPECT DANGER
Indiana Association Issues
Warning for Walker as
Well as Driver.

Asserting that there "is another
side to this matter OF anticipating
danger" the Hoosier State Auto As
sociation follows up its recent safety
message. which urged motorists to
anticipate that something may hap
pen just ahead with some words of
caution to pedestrians.
anticipation on the part of the
pedestrian on the city or town streets
or country roads is just as impor-
INT as is anticipation on the part of
the motor vehicle driver" the auto
association declares THE auto
mobile is blamed for everything. in
measles. these days. and at least part
of the time the automobile is not at
tault: In keeping statistics there are
black marks against the motor We
'hicie which do not belong there at all.
Pedestrians In ErrOr often.
The pedestrian who day-dreams
and jay-walks when stepping out into
public street or highway is inviting
and say, sadly: Doesn't he look nat
ural?'
THE pedestrian who suddenly darts
from a sidewalk cutting across q
street or highway. or the pedestrian
who starts across street or road
left. is most assuredly inviting the
florist to come over and place a lily
in his silent hands.
The pedestrian who tries to beat
the flivver across the street is flirting
with the undertaken just as surely as
the flivver driver who tries to beat
the locomotive to the crossing.
Streets Exempt Children.
Children should be warned against
running or playing in the streets or
roads. Now that the bright days of
spring are at hand the temptation to
the youngsters is great. But they
can play and be safe. too. If there
isn't a playground there may be a
by parents that no public highway
should be used by their youngsters,
and the youngsters ought TO be told
why. Moving traffic should. of course,
proceed cautiously when children are
alongside = road or Street-but the
obligation of safety is not Il one-sided
matter. 1t is q dual obligat tion on

weight on the driver in case OF chill
