KEEP IN Line TO
AVOID CONGESTION
Motorists Should Stop Wa
vering Courses on City
Streets.

Disorderly alignment of traffic on
heavily travelled streets and the olu'
fashioned regulation requiring drivers
to pass on the left when overtaking
vehicles are two of the factors re-
sponsible for the failure OF most
American cities to use their over
crowded streets to more than 20 per
cent of capacity, according to studies
made by the Albert Russell Erskine
bureau for street traffic research.
y Move on Fixed Tracks.
"if all vehicles moved on fixed
tracks it would be possible to accom-
modate a much larger number on
given roadway" declares Miller NC
Clintock, director of the bureau. which
is endowed in Harvard university.
part of the present confusion ana
danger on the streets result from
the wayering course Of vehicles. This
In turn results in wasteful spacing
and in collisions. This condition Is
especially acute on curves and at
street intersections. On curves traffic
has tendency to follow the shortest
course, while at intersections drivers
often draw up in irregular lines when
waiting for a traffic signal, and make
it impossible for the maximum num-
Der of vehicles to approach the inter-
section or move through it in orderly
alignment.
Cut Across Curves.
Part of the tendency to cut across
curves has been eliminated by the
widespread use of lines marking the
center of the roadway. This principle
can be further extended, however. In
reports prepared by the Erskine bu-
reau on intensive street traffic surveys
made in Chicago, and more recently
In San Francisco. it is recommended
that the entire width Of the roadway
be divided into lanes on curves and at
intersections. In the latter instance
the lanes should be marked within 100
feet of the intersection. Lanes should
not be less than 8 feet wide, and may
be as much wider as required to OBJ
tain an equal division Of the roadway.

Plans for the celebration of the

ture is the only surviving edifice in

Best Headlights Need
Inspection Every Month

It is mistake to assume that
headlights are infallible. Even the
best of them, subjected to hard driv-
ing over rough roads, will get out of
adjustment and their beams be so d.
rected that they are binding to 9TH
err drivers. Also they will fail to light
the road properly.
Headlights should be given periodic
inspection. If the motorist tests them
or has them tested once a month, he
may be reasonably certain they are 10
fair condition.

Tire Chains Will Last
Longer When Reversed

If you will examine your tire chains,
you will find that the wear comes at
the points indicated in the drawings
above and, owing to the curve Of each
link, when you turn the chain over,
the wear comes at a different point
on the link. The worn spots will not
