from the rear while on, the brow OF
a hill or on a curve where vision
is INSTRUCTED for a distance of less
than 500 feet ahead of any vehicle

other manner that is not safe and
prudent"
Others Also Effective

twenty miles an hour and in resi-
Dental districts to thirty miles an
hour, which may be reduced but net
exceeded by ordinance.

jury in civil cases: require teachers
and professors in public schools, col
leges and universities to take an
oath Of allegiance to the flag; per-
nit police authorities, not in uni

DISREGARD TAKES
BIG TRAFFIC TOLL
10000 Persons Killed Last Year Be-
cause Motorists Went Straight
Through"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WICHITA. Kans.-"Going straight
through causes about IS per cent OF
automobile accidents in the United
States. Stated another way. about 90
600 persons were killed last year be-
cause some one went straight through"
These figures were brought out in q
survey conducted by a Wichita firm.
"A study OF nearly $4,000 accidents
shows that in 10000 cases there was
misunderstanding over the right Of
way" the survey shows. In 1000 cases
some one was exceeding the speed
limit, and an equal number of accidents
occurred because some one was on the
wrong side of the road. Deliberate or
accidental disregard of signals was an
other important factor.
However, the drivers are not the only
ones responsible for these startling fs-
ures. Most State laws say that the
driver to the right has the right OF
way providing two cars reach an in
tersection at the same time. Much
trouble results. One driver argues that
if he can get there first he will have
the right of way regardless. The other
driver may have the same theory-at
the same time.
Most accidents occur at heavy travel
intersections. but all such intersections
are not properly marked. Traf1c sig
mails placed where drivers will not read
lily see them are as bad as no signals
at all. The best plan is To mark ap-
proaches by placing the signs out in
the center Of the road or street, where
the driver Is looking"

OF COMPLETE HIGHWAY TESTS
Testing Field Also Setting for Advance

DETROIT. Mich, July 27.-The
General Motors proving ground at Mil
| ford, Mich. 80 miles from Detroit, In
recent weeks has served as setting for
! advance showings Of new General
Motors models.
To those interested in motors the
proving ground Is q constant center Of
Interest. The total mileage Travelled In
motor vehicle testing in this modern
outdoor laboratory approximates a.
900 900 miles.
That means $4,000. 900 miles Travelled
by representative models of all the
automobiles in the world, American
and European. The proving ground Is
on site exceeding 1900 acres.
Until recently the specially construct
ed roAd1ays, rough and smooth sur
faces of every kind encountered in
highway travel, stretched approximately
rs miles, embracing all the hills and
grades needed for their tests.
Highways Reproduced.
G. M. @. executives say every pos
called upon to meet on the highways
| Of America has been reproduced on the
proving ground. Recently. however.
they found that their system, which
has cost a million or two to put in.
lacked something commonly expert
enced by drivers In Europe road Of
Belgian blocks.
The Belgian block is a chunk Of
granite, first built into roadways ad-
Joining Belgian seaports. When horse
drawn vehicles were depended on to
haul great loads to and from ships
these roads were laid because they were
virtually everlasting, besides furnishing
the best foothold for horses.
The chunks, laid without much reg
ularity, were surrounded by filler"
Of loose sand. The mixture Of granite
and sand was allowed TO settle. After
1t got hard 1t was very rough, but
there was no wear-out TO 1t.
The Belgian blOck-road became COM
mon In other parts OF Europe. and
found its way TO America. Blocks of
Belgian granite were shipped TO New
York and other ports as ballast. IN
loaded. they were used for road build
ing, with the result that Belgian blocks
In the United States became a type
OF roadway in the same class as mac
adam. which had its origin in Great
Britain.
New Kind Of Resistance.
Belgian blocks, General Motors
executives in Europe informed the head
Offices, offered a new kind Of resistance
to riding comfort. So 1t was decided A
stretch of Belgian block roadway should
be constructed at the proving ground.
One mile and A half is under construc-
ton and will be finished in the Fall.
The Belgian blocks going into II are
being shipped from Chicago. There
were certain areas of this roadway near
the Chicago wharves, and red granite
