Primarily. their duty is TO see that
traffic on Sixteenth street and Massa-

across one of the signal.lighted thor

They are made quickly compre-
hensible by Officer Cousins. who ex-
plains that they merely are the rec
ords OF each engine and truck COM
pany in the city that has to cross
one of the thoroughfares boasting OF
signal lights and the time that is to
be allowed each for this achievement.
Allows Time for Engines.
In other words. it means that when
an alarm comes in the officer in
charge of the control box must know
which company or companies will re-
spond, how long it will take the en-
CINE or truck to reach the boulevard
and how long the lights must remain
on red to assure a clear highway.
Sounds like a neat problem for
Euclid or the famous geometry
brothers. Plane and Solid. Of1cers
Eubanks and Cousins, however, have
solved it successfully.
The way company is going has a
great deal to do with making the mat
ter still more complicated. For in
stance No. l bound in one direction Is
entitled to only 80 seconds Of red light
to get away from Sixteenth street. In
another, it runs about minutes.
The same applies to many others.
Some companies are allowed red
lights for only seconds. A gen
eral alarm has all the lights showing
red for minutes or, If necessary,
longer Thus far it doesn't seem to
have been necessary to keep all traffic
on these streets at a standstill for
greater period.

Night Distance Less.

Why In II that the mileage from one
city to another Is often less at night
than during the day?
Or is this one Of the interesting
things in motoring that has escaped
attention?
It is a fact that over a hundred.mile
stretch mileage it apt to vary az
much as several miles from day TO
night. Perhaps some clue to this stu
alton is had when one considers the
fact that a motor cycle will cut down
the running distance between distant
points as much as 10 or Is miles.
il the travelling is done at night.
1t is cutting corners and not having
to pass other cars that cuts the mile.
age and that marks the difference BE-
tween day and night distance. When
traffic is heavy the driver keeps to the
outer edge on every curve, going
many feet out of his way many times
every mile. At night he cuts off the
outer edges of travel and actually
shortens the distance from one point
to another

Reduction of Traffic
by 10th Street Lights
COntradicted by Count

Is traffic moving of Sixteenth
street to Fifteenth and Seven
teenth streets?
Opponents of the electric sig.
nal lights contend that such a
change has taken place, with
the drift from Sixteenth street
growing apace. An actual count
completed recently by the traffic
directors Office, however. does
not show the Avenue Of the
Presidents losing i'm popularity.
The count was made at s
street between am. and 10
pm. 1t indicated a decrease Of
traffic volume on all three
thorOughfares over the number
Of vehicles checked a year ago.
The decrease was least, how
ever, on Sixteenth street.
There were approximately $50
less vehicles counted on Six
feenth street than at the same
time last year. The decrease on
Fifteenth street was 500 and on
Seventeenth street the number
Of vehicles was $50 less than a
year ago.
Evening star., 1926-05-23

just that distance behind the crossing
no delay will result. The next change
will take place as the next street Is
reached. And the yellow light, by the
way, is not stop" signal but merely
direction to clear the intersection.
Halted traffic should not move while
it is showing. but cars that already
are in the intersection should, Of
course, keep moving.
For uniformity, acCeleration Of
traffic movement, possibility Of accu-
rate and positive control both Of the
speed and movement Of vehicles. the
electric signal light system has been
demonstrated as a. definite success in
Washington, traffic officials of the Ma
tional Capital believe. They are not
surprised that it has fitted into the
traffic control scheme. The number
Of cities using it now are legion, and
the community laying claim to ap-
preciate progress without having
adopted the signal light is the excep.
ton rather than the rule.
Success Up to Drivers.
Success of the electric signals is en-
tirelv up to the rank and file of mo-
torists. The more unreserved is their
degree of cooperation, the more ad-
vantageous can be the timing and the
speed permitted. This is the hint
given the motorist by the traffic Office.
One practice. which officials declare
must be corrected before the signal
system operates to even greater ad-
vantage, is driving iauntily along con-
siderablv below the speed limit in the
center of the street through the light
controlled zone. This practice, they
point out, gives rise to repeated vio-
lation of the traffic regulations and
danger to the lives of other motorists.
The man who wants to pass in A
hurry. having become impatient with
the funereal gait. will go by either on
the right, which Is absolutely contrary
to regulation, or he will risk collision
by passing on the left and having to
do it beyond the center Of the road
way. Motorists must keep closer to
the right.hand curb If the system is
to be helpful.
The silent cop" like his animate
prototype. Is an amla BILE and helpful
chap IL given at least reasonable CO.
operation. Try it with the signal
system on that next ride on Sixteenth
street and test the accuracy Of the ad.
vice for achieving more satisfactory
motoring conditions.

sibiity of the two police officers who
have charge of the silent cops.
Another function. one that doesn't
happen often, is that Of taking the
place of the automatic mechanism
should 1t automatically stop.
The automatic" part of the lights
has been known to stop several times
when the lights themselves did not.
In such cases either Eubanks or
Cousins, watch in one hand. switch
in the other, kept traffic moving safe
ly and sedately-and all the credit was
going to the big electric clock that is
supposed TO perform this vital duty.
To take none Of the honor that they
do not merit. Officers Eubanks and
Cousins admit that the clock seldom
strikes.
To get back to where this started.
the officers aren't the kind who ever
would go to sleep at the switch. but
