Z This is G. M. Gordon, widely
known Dallas, Texas, pharmacist,
who spent twenty years developing
"Gordon's," an Internal Antiseptic
for the stomach and bowels, for
which he received $4,000 for the
rights to the secret process of
compounding.
''The greatest obstacle to the
successful treatment of stomach
troubles" said Mr.. Gordon, was
fermentation (souring of food mat
ter in the stomach and bowels),
which inflames and irritates these
organs and produces gas that
causes much distress. Fermenta-
tion can be stopped only with an
antiseptic."
"Gordon's" goes right to the seat
of the trouble, as it exercises a dis
tinctly antiseptic as well as diges-
tive effect. It stops and prevents
fermentation, soothes and heals any
irritated or inflamed condition and
will bring quick relief in cases of
gas, dyspepsia, heartburn, bloating
after meals, excess acid, bad breath,
constipation, sick headache, ner-
vousness, when caused by faulty
digestion, tone up the digestive or
gans and stimulate the stomach and
bowels to their normal functions.
A few doses will convince you. Sold
by good druggists, 31.50 per bottle
of sixty-four doses-less than three
'eents a dose.

! B. A. Seitz, we'll known in Douglas
and who has been one Of the most
enthusiastic advocates of an inter-
national airport for Douglas, has be-
come identified with aviation affairs
as a manufacturer OF planes. He
has associated himself with the Ryan

Los Angeles, Calit., and that COM

seem to be closely related to the
company that manufactured the
spirit OF ST. Louis" the plane in
which Col Charles A. Lindbergh
made such remarkable flights, includ-
ing his New York to Paris flight, the
first trans Atlantic airplane flight
The name OF the new plane also
seems to be inspired by the Lindbergh
flights.
In the Feb. 20 issue of Aviation,
the following paragraph concerning
Mr.. SeitzS connection with the new
company appears:

Walter p. Chrysler, president of the

Iistered motor vehicles. How can

structed
How Cities Handle Traffic. 9'
"Separation OF grades is another
sisep. Note how motor cars from
Park avenue get around the Grand
Central station in New York City
An overhead motorway extends
from Park avenue and 40th street
to Park avenue and 45th. Imagine
the congestion at Pershing Square
without such grade separation.
Detroit has a similar grade sep,
aration at East Grand boulevard
and East Jefferson avenue. San
Francisco has an over-pass at the
foot of Market street and the En-
barcadero. Cincinnati has over
passes where one street is carried
by bridge, or Wiaduct, over an
other.
''For years we rightfully stressed
more careful driving. Today many
agencies are busily engaged in
teaching the motorist to drive care
fully. But today there is also a
movement which encourages the
pedestrian to walk carefully. Con-
siderable impetus can be given this
work if it is consistently pointed
out that nearly iall pedestrians are
frequent motorists, and that nearly
all motorists are frequently pedes
trians.
Educate Those Afoot.
''To walk carefully means to cross
sstreets at crossings, 1t means to
observe traffic signals and traffic
rules A few cities have succeeded
i'll keeping pedestrians on the curb
until they are given the right oil
way. A city like Chicago, with it's
loop district, may find pedestrian
traffic too great to expect all ped
estrians to keep on the sidewalk
until given the signal to go. But
most cities are finding that they
can reduce the numbea of accidents
by encouraging pedestrians to, OBJ
serve signals and to be guided by
them.
ga Chicago transportation execu-
tive recently made the impressive
statement that anyone alert enough
to be on the streets of Chicago was
alert enough to get through lines
of moving vehicles That may ap-
ply to the loop district, which has
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-11

problems peculiar to itself, but it
hardly applies to most cities.
MANY pedestrians complain that
they are obliged to cut through
lines of vehicles because when they
wait for the signal to cross they
find their line of walk cut off by
vehicles coming around the corner
The pedestrians should be permitted
to cross before vehicles are allow
ed to turn corners.
Teach Children to Use Care.
Police officers are going into
the schools in many cities to in
struct children how to cross streets,
and when. In those same cities po-
licemen are assigned to street cor
ners children use frequently in go
ing to and from school Usually,
those police, in escorting children
across streets, wait for signals be-
fore crossing. At least, they should.
This type of education means
that the years to come will bring
us a generation of men and women
!schooled in the ways of careful
walking.
Traffic problems are usually
considered as police problems. AS
they increased the number of po-
lice was increased Then came the
introduction of the synchronized
Ielectric signal system control. This
was accepted in many communities
as substitute, for the traffic po-
liceman. The truth is that there is
no substitute for the traffic officer
AT some intersections the signal
light is all right. At others it isn't
Signals will work under certain
traffic conditions, but mot all.
Express Highways Coming.
"Our larger cities will be con
Inected by express highways, These
will be enclosed like railroad rights
of-way. There will b9 separate lanes
for slow moving vehicles and sep
Ia1ate lanes for the faster moving
ones. When grade crossings are en-
jcountered the highway will go OVER
head or underneath.
America today has a most am
sbitioua road building program
/ There is every reason to believ'
that this program will be expanded
until this. country will have a grea
system OF transcontinental high
ways and roads, extending from
Canada to Mexico OF course. a
soon as we finish two-way high
way, traffic on it frequently in
creases to a point where a four
way highway is needed. This
bound to be true for eight or tel
more years.
''The United States will neve
complete its road building program.

What About Parking?
THE elimination of grade cross

work should continue until every

with an over-pass or under-pass

the job of eliminating curves from

that highways must. possess what
might be called built-in safety.

"The parking problem will prob
