stream. says Oscar Coolican director of
the Washington Automotive Trade AS
ISOLATION. Washington traffic continues
TO suffer considerably from this poor
driving practice, in spite of the obvious
ness Of its bad effects, Mr. Coolican
believes.
THE condition Is particularly bad
with respect TO making right turns on
the traffic lights during the morning
rush hours" he says. 1T Is amazing
the numbers OF drivers who try To make
right turns from the center of the street
when the light flashes green. The sit
uation is doubly serious and delaying in
such case because the driver behind
and off to the right sees the green light,
which means that he may proceed with
no fear of another car cutting in from
the side street
Getting 10 the head Of the line at
the lights seems TO be almost q mania
with some motorists The driver max
ing right turn should not be at the
head OF the line. His rightful position
is next to the right curb. whether he is
the first. second or flftieth In the line.
Any other place Is wrong
Further than this, 1t does not pay
10 assume, particularly during the rush
hours, that one can get into this posi-
ton at the last moment. Traffic Is too
dense 10 permit Of such a thing The
only assurance a driver can have that
he will be In the proper position 10 make
this turn without cutting off many
others or being cut of himself LIS to find
his place two or three blocks before
reaching the intersection at which he
plans TO make his right turn.
THE whole thing seems so simple
and so obvious that II Is surprising that
the delaying condition Is allowed to con-
tfnue.
I'm the morning every one Is trying
TO move as rapidly as is consistent with
the demands OF safety. The goal can
be achieved only when each driver
learns that his chief contribution TO q
betterment OF the situation lies In keep

RUBBER INTERESTS
AWAIT NEW RATES
Official Assessment Figures
Expected Some Time
After April 80.

Local rubber interests are awaiting
some definite action by the official
committee charged with the duty OF
revising the rates of assessed standard
production for the current year. It Is
not likely that official assessment
figures will be published before April
80. The assessment committee has al
ready received protests in connection
with a number of preliminary esti-
mates for certain estates, and their
final schedule will probably give rise
to much dissatisfaction when 1t ap-

March 81:
when the Stevenson scheme was in
augurated, we raised serious doubts oi
it's real significance. and we have al

ably played a very much weaker part
in the market than was generally
thought.
Principle Proved.
when the price of rubber had be-
come so low that 1t seemed to have
little chance of recovery a rapid in
crease was, on the contrary. the natura
thing to expect. This came about, as
matter of fact, but we expressed al
that time doubts on the soundness Of
the self-satisfied reasoning which fore
saw a continued uninterrupted price
rise merely because forecasts indicated
probable deficit in production com.
pared to consumption.
In fact as soon as crude rubber
became scarce. and was not available
for consumption. demand had to be
satisfied elsewhere, and once more the
scientific principle was proved that 1t Il

have its price increased abnormally!'

alternatives-O maintenance Of Brit
