PUBLIC DICTATES
 GARDER'S MUSIC
Idol of the AirIanes" at Hamilton Park Sunday
 Evening

"Give the public what 1t wants in the way of diversified entertain- ment and spend many happy mo- ments recounting successful per- formanceS."
 Thus declared Americas "Idol of the Airlanes," Jan Garber, as he prepares to bring his famous ag- gregation of tunesmiths in It's unique assortment of dance ar- arrangements to the Hamilton park pavilion on Next. Sunday under the auspices of the park department by arrangements with the Music Cor- poration of America.
 Having figured prominently in professional music channels since he was little more than IA years old, Jan knows whereof he speaks. His first effort at satisfying public de- mand came when he was 8 concert violinist with the Philadelphia Sym- phony orchestra.
 His first commercial orchestra comprised a string ensemble Of three pieces which he disbanded when the public began clamoring for comedy antics.
 Came another marked change in the attitude of dance lovers and Garber began to create a new type of entertainment which is based on 8 slow, mooth-howing, albeit unique tempo. Wit hhis latest man. ner of entertainment again meet ing with universal approval 1t was only natural that he should be ac- claimed the "Idol of the Airlanes."
 Garber has not, however, given up his art of "hokum" which bewilders his audiences, coming as it does for the most part, spontaneously.

Channels Save Lives


 "Channelization" solved the prob lem of wide intersections, where traffic tied itself in knots and cars fought for right of way while pe- deStrians stepped off the curb with a prayer.
 Concrete safety islands form the banks of these channels" which guide motori.:s and pedestrians alike through traffic whirlpools. Tri- angular and oblong islands, marked with lights and reflectors, break the streams of cars-guide them left, or right, or ahead.
 Synchronized signal lights clear the channels at regular intervals, while pedestrians never have to look in more than one direction as they hop from island to island.
 Proper timing of safety lights has been found to be important. Cut ting the signal cycle from 60 sec onds to 40 seconds at one inter- section reduced the number of &C., cidents there from 13 to 5 in one year.
 Drivers and pedestrians grow impatient when the cycle is too long," Ilgner explains. They jump the lights" Periodical checks of lights are made to make sure they are timed correctly. s
 Another thing which has con- tributed to safety is the fact that

"Breako for Everybody

Howard F. Ilgner, superintendent and chief engineer of the bureau of electrical service, department of public works, is chairman of the commissions traffic committee. He planned and directed installation of the city's efficient system of me- chanical aids to traffic control.
 We try to give both the motor ist and the pedestrian 8 break" Ilgner says. Good traffic engineer ing must provide for the safety of both motorist and pedestrian with minimum of annoyance and inter ference with either.
 An important reason for the suc- cess of Milwaukee's traffic control
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-29

system is that it makes clear to everybody just what he is expected to do. Signals and signs are stand ardized, and are always placed at the point of obedience.
 "The driver knows, when he comes to stop sign or an automatic stop signal, that he is expected to stop his car right there.
 "A control device which is not needed is worse than none at all, !" Ilgner says. "It breaks down the drivers respect for all such devices.

court.
 Milwaukee's safety campaign" is an all day, every day, year around affair. The city never puts on safety drives" or indulges in other circus stunts.
 "A drive to enforce particu- lar item of the traffic code is an admission that the police depart ment has been lax in such enforce ment before," Chief Laubenheimer says. Every man in the department is trained in traffic work, beat men as well as traffic officers, and all are ordered to enforce the traf- fic code to the letter every hour of the day and every day of the year. "
 A recent police check at 2 o'clock in the morning at an inter section where traffic is controlled bya "stop and go" light showed that every driver on the street at that hour waited for the green light just as during the day, when traffic was heavy.

heed stop signs and traffic control signals. But Milwaukee has sim plif1ed the task of enforcement with a system of traffic engineer ing that leaves no doubt in the mind of either driver or pedestrian as to what is expected of him.
 Steady plugging away at the 'SThree Els" of traffic safety-edu- cation, engineering and enforce ment = for five successive years has been responsible for Milwau- kee having the lowest traf1c death rate among cities of 500,000 or more.
 The Milwaukeean's chance of being killed by a motor vehicle was only a little more than one in 10000 in 1895. The city's traffic death rate was 10.8 for each 100,- 900 persons, while the average for all cities was 18.1 for each 100000.
 Sixty-f1ve persons were killed by motor vehicles in Milwaukee last year. In 1884, with 66 traffic fatali- ties, the city won the National Safe ty Councils grand award for doing more than any other city of any size to make its streets safe.
 
 Police Enforce Law
 The city's police "crack down" on the violator of a traffic law just as they do any other criminal.
 If a motorist is given ticket for anything from illegal parking to reckless driving, he knows that the possibility of fixing" it is slim. Only three high police officials have the power to keep case out of court after pinch" They are Chief J. G. Laubenheimer, Inspec- tor John Bauscheck, and Capt. Hugo Goehlen of the traffic bureau. Of 45,433 arrests for traffic vio- lations last year, only 218 failed, for one reason or another, to reach court. Some were dropped for lack of evidence or because of mitigat- ing circumstances. But none was dropped because the accused was a friend of city official or because he had social, financial, or political power.
 Milwaukee motorists know that. They haven't forgotten that a cou- pie of years ago one of the most in fluential aldermen in the city was arrested for drunken driving and, in spite of the pleas of other city offi- cials, was compelled to stand trial just as any other citizen. Thirteen policemen testified against him, and every one of them held his job.
 Such incidents have given Mil- waukee drivers wholesome respect for the police department and for the traffic laws.
