BIG ROAD EXPANSION
PROGRAM CARRIED ON
Federal Government Is Taking
Part in Constructing
Highways.

OF interest to every motorist is the
great road expansion program which
is being carried on throughout the
country.
The Federal Government at the pres
ent time. through the Federal aid plan.
already has under construction I2.257
miles Of road and ! Sac additional miles
approved for construction and has COM
pleted since June. 1927, more than 5000
miles
In addition to the Federal aid roads,
every State is planning 10 build nuner-
Gus connecting highways. the New Eng
land States alone having appropriated
a total IN excess of s25. 1000, 900 for this
purpose OF these six States Massa-
chusetts will be the largest contributor
with estimated expenditures Of $9,0O0,-
600. Connecticut follows second
with an amount in excess Of $1,000, 900.
Maine. Vermont, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island each will contribute sig
able amounts for this important work.
which is quickly making motoring an
ali-year possibility In al but extreme
Northern sections Of the country.

would like every motoriSt to learn
to think more. Just because he Is
physically able to handle car and
learns the regulations is no Justification
in his believing himself to be a good
driver. 1t is the motorist that has
these qualifications and also has learned
to think who is a good driver.
Good Driver Acts Quickly.
A driver must know what to do when
the unusual happens. He must know
what to do in a case OF emergency,
and he must know what to do quickly.
Only the driver who can think wise
and quickly can be termed a good
driver.
One kind of driver is more or less
menace to the safety of the city
and he is the driver who takes all
kinds Of chances when he does not see
policeman in sight. 1t is pity that
there are not more policemen around
to take care of his kind, His think
ing lies only in thinking Of what he
can do without detection, and when
this is over all his thoughts are used
up He is careless, inconSiderate and
is a constant danger.
A careful driver. in my judgment. is
the motorist who constantly keeps a
check on his car In this way he
prevents bad brakes, defective steering
gears and burned-out bulbs in his
headlamps. He will never have to offer
an excuse in court, for he will never
be brought in there.
In closing. I can so no further in
summing up the traffic situation than
advising every one 10 obey the Golden
Rule as brought to the minds of many
recently by the helpful and praise
worthy campaign Of The Evening Star.

sires, this is the logical spot to spend
the night.
From Philadelphia follow Lancaster
avenue into Lancaster pike, through
Overlook and Ardmore to Bryn Mawr
At Bryn Mawr bear left onto the old
Conestoga road, over which immigrants
passed in their search for new home
lands in the early settler days. AT
THAN the Radnor Friends Meeting

the Conestoga road joins with Lancaster
pike again. Pass through Devon, Ber-

of the finest homes in this part of the
country are found.
Brandywine Creek.
Turn left at Exton onto the Whining
ton -Pottstown highway to West Ches-
ter. just before entering West Chester
on the left-hand side Of the road Is
Greystone, the estate Of p. M, Sharples,
dairyman and breeder of fancy stock.
Continue straight through West Chester
on High street. which leads into the
Wilmington -Pottstown highway again.
Just before reaching Dilworthtown on
the right-hand side of the road Is the
old Birmingham Meeting House. used
during the battle at Brandywine Creek
on September IL, 1777 as an emergency
hospital A few miles west is the battle
field district, where Old Glory first led
American troops in battle. In its first
battle the Stars and Stripes went down
in defeat. but Gen. Howe learned to
respect Washingtons men in this battle.
This is a beautiful spot, and 1t Is sug-
gested that motorists wander through
this section. which only covers a few
miles, on good local roads.
Turn then back into the Wilmington
Pottstown highway to the Baltimore
pike and turn left.
Pass through Chadds Ford, Rising
Sun. Conowingo and Belair to Balti-
more. From Baltimore take the Wash
ington boulevard back to Washington.
The entire trip covers about 275 miles.

Another advantage Is gained by the
pedestrian who keeps to the left side
Of the way. The only traffic he is i'm
mediately concerned with as he steps
off the curb Of the intersecting street
is that approaching from his left. And
this is confined to one traffic lane.
When he has proceeded far enough
into the street to clear the line Of
parked cars, If he sees a vehicle ap-
preaching he instinctively steps back
pace or two into safety.
Three-way Hazard.
But a pedestrian on the right-hand
side Of the way, when he steps off the
curb of the intersecting street, has
three converging lines of traffic to look
from behind and making a right-hand
turn into his path; through traffic on
the intersecting street to his left, and
traffic IN front Of him making left
hand turn into his path. In such a
tangle of traffic the pedestrian is
likely to become confused and plunge
Unexpectedly in front of a moving
vehicle.
While 1t is true that the pedestrian
who keeps to the left side of the way
eventually meets these three lanes of
traffic, he meets them under much
more favorable circumstances. None
OF the cars involved approaches him
from the rear The car least easily
observed-the car making a left-hand
turn-has at least half a street width
to traverse before intersecting his path,
and this either abreast or in front of
him, which gives both pedestrian and
driver warning Of each others presence.
Furthermore. each step he takes at this
stage carries him nearer TO Safety-the
sidewalk, while his confrere on the
right-hand side is going farther into
danger while negotiating the three
traffic lanes.
While it is not always practicable to
cross on the left-hand side. it Is always
at least possible. and results in a wider
margin OF safety Nearly twice as
many pedestrians are injured while
crossing on the right-hand side as on
the left

For years the high school author
tiles have declared that they in
tended TO do everything possible to
keep the tournament from being
regarded as a battle-ground where
rival coaches selected material for
their college teams. Nevertheless,
coaches and their assistants have
kept coming to the tournaments and
all have had about an even break
when it came to "cornering" the
youthful stars and attempting to
talk them into coming to Dear Old
Siwash' next year.
The State prep authorities took
the tournament away from Indiana
University, which originated and
fostered it at considerable expense
for several years, because it was felt
Indiana got an overwhelmingly I'M
fair chance to land star ball players.
Then, the authorities stopped
holding regionals at Indiana and

versities had a better chance to
line up the boys than the smaller
schools.
