fusion. Such a movement should be
accompanied by hand signals at every
stage Of the way. The number Of ac-
cidents due to improper turns in 1888
was more than 10000, with $4,000 or
more persons hurt, according to fig
ures supplied by the National Bureau
of Casualty and Surety Underwriters.
The National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety has put forth
left-turn regulation as part Of its
model municipal traffic ordinance. It
reads as follows: Approach for a
left turn shall be made in the lane
for traffic to the right of and nearest
to the center line Of the highway, and
the left turn shall be made by pass
ing to the right Of such center line
where it enters the intersection and
upon leaving the intersection by pass
ing to the right of the center line of
the highway then entered"
If this were observed under all cir
cumstances it would do much to re-
duce the terrible toll this Nation now
pays for motor vehicle driving.

ARMY PROMOTION
PLAN IS AWAITED
War Department Councils
Report Expected to Rest
on Eligibility Lists.

Army officers are awaiting ar
nouncement of the details of thN
measure prepared by the War De-
partment General Council changing
the system of promotion and elm
ination of officers with a view of at
tanning an adequate and reasonably
even flow of advancement from grade
to grade from the lowest to the high
est. The officers are concerned ebout
the effect upon them Of whatever
methods Of promotion and elmina-
ton eventually may be applied, and
so far the contents of the councils
report have not been divulged.
There Is quite authentic basis for
the statement, however, that the pro-
posed measure contemplateS the an
nual preparation of lists of those con-
sidered eligible for advancement to
the next higher grades, respectively,
which amounts to selection up and
selection out, under limiting condi-
tions, Of those that fail to appear on
the eligible lists a specified number
Of times. Selections would be made
from and elimination applied to all
of the list of each grade. 1t also is
known that the proposed system. If
adopted, will not be nearly so drastic
in its effect as has been the selection
system as applied initially to the
lieutenants and junior lieutenants of
the Navy and to the grades of the
Marine Corps down to and including
that of first lieutenant. In other
words. not so many officers in pro-
portion will be affected adversely by
the proposed Army system.
The comments and recommended
tions of many officers of all grades
were considered by the council. How
ever, they were not a determining
factor in the final decision arrived at
by the council. What the council
sought is to set up system that will
produce the greatest personnel eff
cheney that can be obtained without
resort to unnecessary injury to indi-
viduals. The belief is shared by
majority Of members Of the council
that the measure they recommend
ultimately will produce this result.
NAVY.
Little progress was made last week
regarding the project to obtain legis-
iation that will increase the line
personnel of the Navy to 1000.
Although the principal object Is the
gradual increase of the line to 7,0l2
officers by 1888, in order to meet the
requirements of new ships as they
are commissioned from time to time,
there are suggestions that some other
provisions relating to the personnel
also will be embodied in the measure.
and it remains to be ascertained
which, if any. of them will meet the
approval of Secretary Swanson.
As matter of fact, this number
of officers is sufficient only for ships.
In addition, more than 700 officers
will be required for the aircraft
Squadrons, and it is proposed to OBJ
tain them from the Naval Reserves
by assignments to active duty for
periods not exceeding three years.
1t is estimated that 1t will be neces-
sary to call some $40 Naval Aviation
Reservists to active duty during the
1886 fiscal year.

ington; President, Region No. OF
American Association Of Motor
Vehicle Administrators.
HHERE is nothing quite so mixed
up in motor vehicle driving as
the question Of right and left
i turns, left turns particularly.
This is because many cities of
some States have their own regula-
tions which are modified by inter-
secting signals and by traffic police
men whenever the occasion arises.
This general rule may be laid down,
however, for motorists:
Turn left from the left lane or from
point nearest center of the street.
If this rule is followed it will be found
to work out better than any other
method. Motorists in left lane ex-
pect a car to the right of them to go
ahead or to make a right turn, con-
sequently, when, without warning, a
car cuts in front Of a stream Of
traffic In the other lane, there is con-
