Current steel activity it was

much aid from Detroit. Construc-

it is interesting to recall that the

lottery that William Byrd, found

is the lot at the northwest corner
of Fifth and Main streets, now

whose roof has sheltered many Of
the city'S most prominent citizens.

George Marx conveyed it to Will

so, but it requires, in our opinion, pub
lie recognition to perpetuate the de-
sired purposes for all concerned"
The National Association of Motor
Bus Operators, with national head
quarters in the Tower Building, has
notified The Star Safety Council that
it Is carrying on similar safe-driv-
ing campaign throughout the United
States.
In submitting his own safe-driv-
ing pledge card to The Star Council,
John F. Selb, counsel for the asso-
citation, has turned over to the coun-
Gil a copy of the associations own
safe-driving pledge, circulated among
member organizations in all parts of
the country.
Il am submitting 1t in the belief
that it will be of interest in your
campaign for safe driving" Mr.. Selb
said.
"Ten Comma ndments" of Driving.
The "Ten Commandments of the
association pledge were recommended
by the Safety Committee of the ma
tional association, which is affiliated
with the American Automobile Associ-
alton. The Ten Commandments"
follow:
81. Keep to right Of center line of
highway.
%. Pass overtaken vehicles on left,
but only after sounding horn and only
when road ahead is SO clear as to
permit getting back to the right with
a safe clearance and with a wide
margin for safety.
"3. Under no circumstances attempt
to pass an overtaken vehicle at an
intersection. on curve, or approach
ing the crown Of a hill.
a. At intersections, be prepared to
stop If vehicle on intersecting road is
moving onto intersection and do not
try to take the right of way, as the
other driver may not have control
of his vehicle.
IS. Keep far enough back Of the
vehicle ahead to allow a safe brak-
ing distance in the event that other
vehicle makes a sudden stop. Except
in emergency, do not stop so suddenly
as to cause collision by following
vehicle.
Is. Signal before making a turn
and further insure safety by looking
to see whether vehicle Is approaching
from the rear. Wait before pulling
out from the curb until making such
observation. Again, remember that
Evening star., 1935-11-03

the approaching vehicle may not be
under control.
"7. Always keep both hands on
steering wheel and eyes on the road
ahead while driving. Look behind
before backing.
"8. Stop before crossing all rail-
roads, and, after carefully looking in
both directions and listening, proceed
oily IL it is safe beyond any possible
| doubt and then proceed in low gear,
gears not being shifted until all tracks
have been cleared.
"9. When stopping on highway, pull
as far of hard surface as road con-
ditions permit, and where to stop is
prolonged see that the rear of vehicle
is adequately protected.
40. Do not operate at excessive
speed at any time. At curves, blind
crossings, crest of hills, in fog or
wherever the view is curtailed, reduce
speed so as to be able to stop within
the distance Of clear vision"

An example of the type of cooper
alton which The Star Safety Council
has received from residents of Wash
lngton in all walks of life has been
given by little Billie Esteva Williams,
son of Mrs. Alice E. Williams, 1882

Thinking that it would be a good
idea to make a roundup of motor
lists in his neighborhood, Billie per-
suaded his mother to get from The
