Traffic

EDITOR, WASHINGTON TIMES:
NOR the past few months / have
been reading what some of our
kind friends have to say about
speeding up traffic. These few
suggestions I believe would help
to speed up traffic and avoid a
lot of unnecessary accidents:
F'frst-The speed is too slow to
allow traffic to. move out of the
way. 1t should be twenty miles on
crossings and thirty elsewhere.
Second-Do away with all left
hand turns which block traffic
Third (This is intended for the
person that is driyingl-When a
driver comes to a traffic signal
turned against him, let him shift
gears as soon as he stops and be
ready to move on as soon as he
has the right of way. Then there
will be no stalled motors to block
the other fellow.
Ambulances, Fire Department
and Police Department cars should
have the right of way at all times.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Admitting
failure to pophlarize the silver dollar
and the So bill, Treasury officials
virtually have decided to mint new
coin, combination gold and silver
dollar, because of the rapid deterio-
ton Of paper money.
The proposed new coin will be of
distinctive appearance, possibly a
gold center with d rim Of silver, and
will be slightly larger that quarter,
Banking and merchandising interests
which handle large sums of money
have Indicated that such a substi-
tute for the dollar bill would be de-
sirable.
Those who prefer the dollar bill,
the common laborer of American
currency, still will be able to obtain
them, but officials point out that the
paper dollar has a life of only six
to ten months.
