But rather it is my idea to call your

in the last two presidential elections
barely so per cent of those qualified
to vote have done SO. In the scna-

just been solved. The mystery was
the identity of the war time minister,
his name beginning with NJ and end
ing with Y, who wrote gallant episties
to the mystic danseuse, executed in
October, 1917, for espionage.
For years the enemies of Louis

full dancer-spy, he wrote the letters
which she cherished until they were

ONLY POPULAR
TRAFFICLAWS
GET SUPPORT
If Public Regards Regulations
Unreasonable, They Can't
BE Enforced

Washington, April 2O-"Traffic reg
ulations which the public regards as
unreasonable and obnoxious canno,
be enforced, no matter how many
policemen are put on the. streets"
DR.. John A. Harriss Of New York
had this to say during a visit in
Washington. And DR.. Harriss should
come as near to knowing as any one
man. For eight years he was deputy
police commissioner of New York
City. One of his accomplishments
was to devise the Fifth avenue traffic
towers with their red and green
flashes for stop and 60 which have
been copied throughout the country
80 long as the public regards
traffic regulations as q sort Of agree
ment for the benefit Of all, there
will be enforcement" DR.. Harriss
says. Beyond that point, it serves
no purpose to increase fines and give
jail sentences. People will not abide
by the traffic rules and will take
pride in eyading them.
Eliminated The Source
1.-TWO years ago in New York on
q Commute parking limit we were
issuing 100 summons day. That
meant more than 10000 month.
and all those people were against
the police on traffic rules. ! We
raised the parking limit to an hour.
There was no more congestion than
before. and do not believe people
parked any longer. But we virtually
eliminated that source Of summons,
and of antagonism.
The city Of the future. with its in
creased volume of motor traffic. has
been for years a particular object
of study by DR.. Harriss.
"Tho- saturation point for automo-
biles will be about twice the present
number" DR.. Harriss believes.
There will be. 4O,0OO.OOO cars
where today there are 2O,OOO,OOO.
This means the capacity Of city
streets and rural highways will have
to be doubled. Obviously, the cities
must be redesigncd and deccntral-
lied.
simply cutting new streets through
a city will not relieve congestion.
The new streets will be lined with
shops and offices which will draw
heavier traffic there and defeat their
purpose.
Super.Streets Needed

lem for cities is express traffic ways.
These must be developed into real
super-streets. They would have outer
roadways for local traffic and inside
ways for high speed through traffic.
