An editorial appreciation of the Bos-

paragraph:
Formerly wine and beer were
among the staple refreshments served
at the tables. But it is to the credit
of the management that several years
before prohibition was written into
the Constitution of the United States,
intoxicating drinks of all kinds were
banished from Symphony Hall. It is
significant. too, that Immediately ar

OBEY TRAFFIC Law
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
VII. Keep to the Right.

Keep to the Right" has long been
the rule of the road in America, but
there must be exceptions. These are
defined in the new Minnesota traffic
code. 1t says that upon all high
ways of sufficient width, except upon
one way streets, the driver of a ve-
hicle shall drive the same upon the
right half of the travelled portion OF
the highway and shall drive slow
moving vehicle as closely as possible
to right hand edge or curb of such
highway, unless it is impracticable
to travel on such side of the highway
and except when overtaking and pas
sing another vehicle"
When crossing railroad or an
other highway, all vehicles must at
all times travel on the right half of
the road unless it is INSTRUCTED or i'm
passable.
When overtaking and passing an
other vehicle it is permissible to
drive on the left side only when the
left side is clearly visible and free
of oncoming traffic for sufficient
distance to permit passing safely.
VIII. Stopping at Crossings.
Vehicles carrying school children,
passengers for hire. explosives, in
flammable liquids, vehicles having
another vehicle or equipment in tow,
vehicles of the tractor or caterpillar
type, must stop at all railway and
interurban grade crossings.
All vehicles must stop at crossings
marked with Stop" sign, but in
case of school and passenger buses,
the driver has a special responsibility
for their safety, hence this require
ment that they stop at all crossings.
A collision between train and a
tractor, cat, or truck carrying ex-
plosives, gasoline, kerosene, would
very likely do serious damage to the
vehicle and its driver. to the train.
the trainmen and the passengers.
Therefore this additional safety rule
was put into the law.
TX. Signals at Railway Crossings.
The new traffic law requires every
driver of a motor vehicle or street car
when approaching a railway grade
crossing, to stop when a clearly Wis
ible and positive signal gives warning
of the immediate approach of rail-
way train or car
This is apparently intended to pre-
vent racing to beat the train to the
crossing. People who do such foolish
things are usually people who have
no regard for the law, hence it may
seem useless to put this into the sta
tutes. But it is good safety rule, and
the whole traffic law is largely a col
lection of carefully compiled safety
rules.
But there is another reason for this
rule. The most modern crossing sig
nails, which show stop" when a
train is approaching also turn to
"Stop" if any part of the signal de-
vice is out of order. When such a
signal says stop" be sure to stop
and look before crossing. The train
may be just around the bend.
