II don't know which ones are

he told US, after the fracas was

.The outer circle was choked
with traffic till the place looked
ike a swarm of bees, and the
inner passage was as bare as a
bowling alley. What's the idea?
well when you're running
north on sixteenth street TO turn
east into Massachusetts avenue or
Rhode Island avenue, or to con.
tinue north on Sixteenth street
above the circle, you keep to the
righthand passage way the
outer circle. IL you're going TO
turn west on Massachusetts, ave-

you keep. to the left, the inner

Zine business. That avoids
unnecessary criss s-crossing at the
north sector.
That's it. Say man was 60

chusetts avenue, headed west. and
he kept to the outer circle. while
another man was going to con-
tinue north on Sixteenth street.
and he kept to the inner passage,
they'd cross each others pafh
when they reached the north

II see. You can get to Six

That's all there is to 1t. The
other traffic knows which way to
go, and Sixteenth street traffic
wants to follow the left hand
road because it's shorter. But
that means jam when they leave
the circle, and to avoid that the
director sends them by the outer
passage The only trouble is,
how do I know which Way they're
going when they come along
here?"
Director Eldridge ION the way
home to dinner): You've got the
wrong end of it,, officer. Stand
at the exit and don't let anyone
go up Sixteenth street If he comes
by way of the inner passage.
