VERY day the average driver

sponsibility insurance requirement IN tne

Both these proposed measures nave
the Endorsement of those interested IN
safe driving. In the flrst case every
car should be qualified to be operated
as the driver has to be. Secondly. every
driver should be financially responsible
to protect the victim OF an accident.
The two measures, when part OF the
law, will remove many wrecks from

Traffic Lanes Respected.

The highway engineer is making
progress with the problem of getting
the motorist to hold to the straight and
narrow path of safety by taking ad-
vantage of the latters pride in his
ability to operate an automobile That
fact is indicated in data compiled by
the American Road Builders Associa-
ton. which shows that lanes painted on
pavement surfaces are accorded sub
stantial respect by 81 per cent of the
motor vehicle operators.
The logical deduction to be made
from these figures" says c. M Upham,
engineer-director of the Road Builders,
lis that when a straight and narrow
path of safety is created for the ve-
hicle operator. he will stick to it, APP
parently the degree of observance of
lane marking is due to the average
drivers unWillingness to be guilty of
such an obvious violation of the canons
of good driving as to Straddle two lanes.
When lanes are not definitely marked
or city pavements. weaving. of course, is
far less conspicuous. The individual

it without feeling that it is a serious
reflection upon the quality of his driv-

A, A. A. on Lighting.

With at least 1880 motor vehicle
accidents in 1881 directly attributable
to defective lighting. it is apparent that
adequate and properly focused lights
are essential to national safety on the
streets and highways, according to the
District of Columbia Division of the
American Automobile Association.
While State laws are almost uniform
in the requirements for lights on the
carr the statement continued. "the
greatest source of trouble is the failure
on the part of motorists to have the
lights on the automobiles subject to
periodic inspection. This can be done
in only few minutes at comparatively
low cost"

POETRY THAT SELLS

Of all forms Of writing, the
least satisfactory from a stand
point of dollars and cents, is poe
try.
Yet Edna St. Vincent Millay,
discovering a discarded manuscript
which she had put aside IS years
ago, decided that she would like to
see it in print. Her publishers an
nounced the new volume and the
first edition was sold out a month
before publication.
The trouble with most poetry
which does not sell is that it is
commonplace. Miss Millay's great
success through many years shows
that there is an eager public tor
poetry if it possesses beauty and
distinction.
