In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

| the present time has too few police
men.
The abolition Of speed limits on the
rural highways of ~ States has greatly
facilitated travel and at the same time
erations, according to q statement from
the national headquarters Of the Amer
ican Automobile Association today.
The statement Of the national motor
ing body is based on Nationwide OBJ
servation by the scout cars Of the as
ISOLATION and Of its afiliated clubs.
Our reports" said Thomas p. Henry
of Detroit. Mich, president Of the
A. A. A.. indicate that the great body
Of motorists are not abusing the
privilege that the absence Of speed lin
its confers on them. BY and large. the
motorists accept personal responsibility
and realize that excessive speed is
prima facie evidence of recklessness in
case of accidents. They guide them
selves accordingly, but without constant
fear of arrest for speed-limit violations
or delays and expenses incident to such
arrests.
"On the other hand. some motorists
seem to accept the absence of speed
limits as challenge to step on the gas
without regard to prevailing conditions
or the rights Of other drivers. Some
bus and truck drivers are badly in
fected with this virus. If it should
spread to any large proportion of high
way users, there would undoubtedly be
an immediate demand for the restora-
ton of old and obsolete speed limits.
The irresponsible drivers are also the
drivers who are for the most part given
to the highly reprehensible and dan
gerous practice Of cutting in and out Of
line on curves, hills and any point where
the whim hits them, irrespective Of con-
ditions. They don't seem to realize that
this practice is much more dangerous
on highways where the general run Of
traffic maintains a faster pace Many
of the most serious accidents Of the
present touring season are attributable
to this habit.
On the whole. the State officials
have been most reasonable and liberal
! in handling traffic en- high-speed roads
This is particularly true in those States
which have an efficient highway patrol
1t is to be hoped. however that in the
interest Of traffic progress and highway
safety. they will deal drastically with
! the type Of driver who abuses the
splendid traffic facilities offered by the
new. wide, high-speed roads Of which
We are getting more and more mileage
in the United States"

More Traffic Lights.

Traffic light signals on Pennsylvania
avenue have now been installed at
Ninth and Tenth streets. Controls at
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets are
due this week. It will be interesting
to find how they will work cut At
the present time William A. Van Duzer,
director of traffic, does not believe a
signal is necessary at every intersection
on the Avenue.
One thing is sure, however. the light
controlled Pennsylvania avenue should
allow traffic TO flow mere evenly.
Policemen with their senlophores do not
synchronize their movements. Lights
will, and besides give a certain amount
of warning to directional change
Some one recently stated that the
lights will throw policemen out OF jobs.
This is not the case. They will be
given other positions. Washington at

~ONSTANT warning to motorists
about careful driving on the
city streets in no way should
~ be relaxed. Drivers OF automo-
biles should pledge their part
to a safety code. as signing cooes ap-
pears to be the spirit Of the times.
However, it is not enough just to
caution motorists. Pedestrians, them
selves, must be careful, and it will be
only through the cooperation OF both
parties that municipal streets are made
safe
Last month there were five traffic
fatalities reported in Washington, three
adults and two children. In each case
it was found that death was due to
carelessness on the part Of the walker.
Motorists in each case were exonerateo.
Baltimore Situation Similar.
The situation is most the same In
Baltimore. According to reports from
our neighboring city, the killing OF
pedestrians, both adults and children,
Il advancing at an alarming rate and
in many instances the motorist Is not
70 blame.
On this line John G. Rostmeyer, di-
rector of the Baltimore Safety Council,
makes the following observation:
"A recent study in Baltimore shows
that a majority of the pedestrians have
only themselves to blame. However.
that doesn't absolve the motorist. All
YOU have to do is to sit in court in
a couple of manslaughter cases to hnd
that the man on foot has the sympathy
of the jury, no matter what the cir
cumstances.
"Our figures in Baltimore show that
in six months, Just past, 305 persons
were injured at intersections when they
we're doing what they should have been
doing; that is. crossing where there was
no signal or with the signal turned
the proper way.
There we're 428 persons, on the
other hand. hurt either crossing against
the traffic signal, or crossing between
rsections-'ja 'jay-Walklng, as 1t IS
called"
Mr.. Rostmeyer said he didn't think
cali for an arrest and fine if the
pedestrian himself is to blame for such
an accident, was necessary. He said:
They do that in France. of course,
but in this country, so far, we have
not yet shown that the motorist is as
careful as the pedestrian. BY far the
majority of those hurt now In this
country are occupants Of cars tEem-
selves. But We can say that the pedes-
trian is not taking the care he should
take, and is not assuming the proper
share of the blame in the accidents
where he is the one injured
Most any driver would wreck his
car sooner than strike child. or even
an adult. There is no question but
that some accidents are caused by
pedestrians or children suddenly get
ting in the way of automobiles, and
forcing them to swerve suddenly from
their proper paths.
And it is up to us to educate the
people to cooperate We are doing it
with the children, and we expect the
next generation of pedestrians to be
safer minded than the past o. present
generation"
