PEDESTRIANS AND AUTOMOBILES

The day may not be unreason- ably far distant in Now Britain when all pedestrian wishing to cross a street outside Of the down. town zone needs 10 do will be to raise a hand and he will have the right of way over approaching au- tomobiIes.
 A national conference on street and highway safety, recently held in Washington at the request of Secretary Hoover, has evidently brought about new conception of the rights of the harassed pedes- trian when he wishes to cross streets infested by automobiles. AS result of the recommendations made at the conference already one important city has adopted the plan of giving pedestrians the right of way in all streets except in the cen tral business district.s
 The system works this way; Pe- dcstrlans desiring to cross highways at the regular crossings need only hold up a hand. thus notifying ap- preaching autoists of their intcn- tions, and then they get the right of way. Jay-waIking is strictly for biddcn and merits arrest and there is stiff fine provided for even a first offensc.
 It should be remembered that the hand-upholding right of way stunt does not apply to the business dis tricts, where pedestrians are under the guidance G traffic policemen. i As was to be expected, Los An gclcs was the first large city to adopt the national recommenda- tions, and dispatches from there ln- dicatv the plan is working satisfac- torily. The possibilities are, with 1 the influence Of the Hoover organ ization behind it, the plan will spread to other cities and in time ' may reach New Britain.
 It sounds like a good system There IS no reason why an onrush- ing autoist on an outlying street should contest a crossing with 8 pedestrian who is already there and ready 10 cross, as is frequently th' case A pedestrian has some rights and most autorsts are willing to 1 uonlade 10 hm the right Of cross

constructed in submersibles, per haps with the exception of tho V type, tho latest model, of which only one has so far been finished, and the new English x type.
 Our submarines Of the s type cruised from Panama up the Pacific coast in search of the Black" fleet in the war game in the Pacific, When the "cneny" vessels were lo- catcd they were busy attempting to annihilatc the "Blue" defending fleet. Battlcships, dcstroyers and airplancs were having quite q spirited time.
 Invisibly penetrating the lines of the "BIack" fleet, they struck from the rear, driving the "encmy" bat tlcships and deslroycrs toward the coast. Tho dcstroyers, which had thrown down smoke screen to be- fuddle tho submarines on the land side, found themselves useless in combating the attack from the rear. To the submersibIcs went a complete victory; without them the 'cncmy' would have won over whelmingly according 10 the um- pircs.
 The submarines, used legitimate ly, are q powerful weapon of of- | fcnse and defense, The World War showed that it was impossible to enter a harbor adequately protect cd by submarines. They are being 1 developed greatly and those of the present day are much more power full and swifter than those in use during the World War. Our VI, first of our latest types, left Ports mouth, x. H., in January for a cruise to last four and a half months. The British have construct cd a 3,000-ton submarine, $50 feet long, known as the X type, which is said to have attained a surface speed of 37 knots. Such speed l would keen such vessel in line with dostroyers. It will be only a matter of short time when the United States will have submarines of the same speed and bigness
 During the war destroycrs were the most potent foe of submarines. Nowadays submarines are likely to be quite as fast as destroyers. EX- perts say such submersibles would function like destroycrs on the sur- face and function as submarines under the surface. We do not know whether every expectation will ma teriaIizc, but the evidence of recent submcrsible construction tends to Indicate that they have reached a wonderful stage Of development.
 During the Spanish American War all American harbors were mined" for protection against a Spanish armada that never came. Mines are still useful and the bar rage Of mines that was strung across the upper reaches of the North Sea was a potent factor in c,Irtaimg submarine depredations toward the end of the war. But when it comes to protecting a har- bor, a submarine is a sort of peram- bulating mine and not one, but many - and aims as well as cX- plodes charges Experts declare that submarines in every harbor, huttressod by guns on shore and aeroplancs, would be a complete de- fcnse against fleet attack. And in opon waters their offensive strength is undoubtod, especially if there IS a fleet of them to contend with.

The Superior court of Copenhagen ruled that the minis try Of justice had no authority un- der the law to impose internment without a trial and ordered the man released and compensated to the amount of 1900 crowns.
 The case created a profound sen- sation throughout Denmark and nu- merous prominent persons have been outspoken in their approval of dras- tic action with regard to offenders against public morality.

EMILE WELL, DEEPEST
IN WORLD, SEEKS OIL

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 10.-A
theory that the earth is like a big
boiled egg, which has settled its
most precious deposits in the CEN
ter, is the basis on which work
was started on the farm of George
weaver, near Canonsburg, on what
a expected to be the deepest well
IN the world. James Kifer, veteran
oil man Of Pittsburgh, sponsor for
the undertaking, said the well
would be three miles deep.
He said: "A leading geologist has
said that the earth may be COM
pared to a boiled egg, which, when
boiling settled its yellow deposits,
the heaviest and most valuable, in
its center. The yolk of the egg is
the gold OF the earth and the white
is the silver, so to speak. An the
wealth of the earth produced thus
tar has been from the shell Of the
egg. :. But this well of mine may
penetrate the white. A 5000 bar
rel well may be struck at $1,000
feet. Who knows?"
