BICYCLISTS ARE WARNED
OBEY TRAFFIC RULES
Must Observe Law, Says Eldridge,
Just as Other Vehicles Are
Required to Do.

Traffic Director Eldridge yesterday
appealed to bicycle riders to obey the
traffic regulations as strictly as mo-
torists, both for their own safety and
for the Improvement of traffic condi-
tions generally.
MANY owners of bicycles apparent
ly do not realize that they are subject
to the regulations just as much as mo
torists." said Mr.. Eldrdge. About
the only thing not required of them
is that they obtain a permit. but they
are subject to traffic signals and to all
other regulations affecting safety"
When bicyclists fail TO observe the
rules of the road, Mr.. Eldridge said,
they run the risk of being injured
themselves and involving others in
collisions.
The traffic director indicated that
he is considering taking up with the
Police Department the matter of re.
quiring more general compliance
with the regulation on the part of
bicycle riders.

BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, November 20.--The
unprecedented decision to withhold all
five of the Nobel prizes for 1925 was
due partly to a lack of qualified candi-
dates and partly to need for funds
for the Nobel Library and the Physi-
cal and Chemical Institute, both
founded in Stockholm by Alfred Nobel
as part of his memorial. This ex-
planation was made in a statement
given the Associated Press yesterday y
by directors of the Nobel fund.
The five Nobel prizes are physics.
chemistry. medicine or physiology
literature and the Nobel peace prize.
Heavy taxation. both by the crown
and local authorities. seems to be
the primary reason for withholding
the 1925 prizes, although this is not
officially admitted. This has made 1t
