for pedestrians to keep to the left

While there may be some opposition
to such q law it is regarded as
natural step following the laws that
have been made in cities for the
protection of pedestrians.
1t is held by some that such law
would be an inconvenience in the

This conclusion has been reached
by the public safety department of
the Automobile Club of Southern
California and other organizations
seeking to better traffic conditions.
While at present there is no law
requiring the pedestrian to walk Gu
tie left side of the road, it is point
ed out that this is far safer than
walking on the right side both for
the pedestrian and the motorist.
Rights of pedestrians and moto,-
lists are equal on the open highway

it would be necessary for him 70

Monschinski into the store, she
covered Robinson, two clerks and a
customer while the robbers gathered
$1,000 IN plumber. She compelled
the victims to stand huddled while
she waved her gun.
The weapon became heavy. She
shifted it to her left hand.
This was the ruin OF the party. In
doing the shift she laid handbag
on the counter In the getaway she
forgot it. All escaped. When the po-
lice arrived they bounced on the
handbag. In it was the Ness telc-

bombs and shotguns tried the front
door and found it locked. They tried
to force it.

The girl came to the door and
began to shoot at them through the
panels. She fired four times. AS
the police returned the fire she re-
treated. A great crowd assembled.
The police tossed tear bombs
through windows and for reply re-
ceived a volley of shots. When the
house appeared full of tear gas all
shooting ceased. The police entered
and found the three bandits suffer-
ing from the gas.
Aftera long search the girl was
found in a basement closet, where
she was trying to get some air. She
was only semi-conscious. When she
