the result? When they do without

A Larger. Tramc Force.

Decision 10 make permanent the assign
ment OF fifteen additional motor cycle
policemen to the Traf1ic Bureau. to some
extent eentralising enforcement Of the
trafile laws, Is Q wise move. Last june
the fifteen officers were taken from
their precincts and placed under the
direction Of the Trafnc Bureau in q
concentrated drive to enforce the traffic
laws, brought on by rising tide Of IA
tAlities. Daily arrests increased. Pub
licity helped to warn incautious motor
lists and accidents were reduced. The
Star ut that time commented on the
ineffectiveness of sporadic law enforce.
ment and urged that the campaign be
continued. The permanent detail OF
fifteen more policemen to the Trafdc
Bureau should serve TO make this pos
sible.
With a relatively large force OF
mounted officers available the Trafic
Bureau should be able to patrol the
streets effectively. watching out for such
offenses as speeding and failure to OBJ
serve trafic signals. In addition. the
trafic officials, noting laxity in the
observance of any one regulation. may
concentrate their attention on enfcrc-
ing It. A few days ago. for instance.
the police decided TO look into the
habits of motorists regarding the street.
car loading spaces that are marked by
white lines. A number of drivers were
brought into court charged with rum
ming through these spaces. although
they were vacant at the time. Trafac
Court decisions left no doubts in the
minds of motorists that the loading
spaces are sacred, and that, whether or
not pedestrians are standing on them,
they are to be avoided.
There, are other instances Of viola
lions explained by carelessness and
ignorance of motorists and by failure Of
the police to enforce the regulations.
A few days of concentrated enforcement
usually sufice to call the existence Of
forgotten regulations to the attention
of drivers, and to remind them that
they are still on the books.

A Ready.Witted Rescuer.

Readiness of wit, Quickness OF thought,
speed Of invention in emergencies have
saved many lives. People who think
quickly in sudden crises can do much
good for their fellow beings. Such q
person Is q cab driven In Brooklyn
who was instrumental in saving the
lives Of at least thirty occupants OF q
nat building the other night. He was
in a restaurant across the street, get
ting q late lunch, when he CHANGED to
see smoke pouring from the apartment.
He ran over and found the halls Allied
with fumes. Rushing back to the res
taurant. he grasped a handful Of tooth
picks from q bowl and then, Fastening
back to the burning apartment. he ran
through the halls and started all the
bells ringing, plugging them with the
toothpicks 20 that they kept sounding
the alarm. All of the occupants got
out of the building In safety In conse-
quence of this incessant sound.
Psychologists would perhaps be able
to trace the reaction Of this quick
thinking cab driver causing him to
adopt the toothpick method for setting
up a general alarm in the burning
apartment. 1t may b that as he ran
out of the restaurant he saw the bowl
Of toothpicks on the counter and by o
fortunate reflex of the mind when he
found the apartment to be on fire he
conceived the idea instantly Of using
these slivers of wood. Perhaps q mental
picture of this bowl Of toothpicks flashed
before him ct the moment Of discover
ing the fire.. In just this way do many
Of these instantaneous thoughts evolve,
from memory and from mental pictures.
A person falls overheard from o dock.
A bystander has o reflex vision Of o
piece of rope or pole that he has previ.
ously seen lying near at hand and runs
and gets this means of extending aid
to the unfortunate. II the rescuer Is q
swimmer he viii instinctively leap over
board himself TO help the other. There
Ii no reasoning about that. It requires
no mental picture to induce such an
action.
In the case of the Brooklyn cab driver
it must not be forgotten that in addi-
ton to thinking quickly Of the tooth
picks as q means Of setting up con-
tinuous alarm he had to 60 through
the smoke filled halls to push the but
tons and set them. thereby endanser-
ing his own life. He had the instinct
of the rescuer as well as instant men,
DRY and invention.
