PEOPLES FORUM
REGARDING TRAFFIC

Editor, The Citizen:
The type of person who drives
over the long wooden bridges at
40 miles and up-and there are
many of them, indeed--cannot be
controlled by signs. The patrol of
the road would be expensive and
would only partly cure the evil.
And it is an evil and a serious
one. The way TO slow traffic to
Is miles an hour is to place a
Axe, bolted down, right across the
entrance to the bridges and re-
peat every 100 feet. The cost
would be small, the upkeep small
and there is little question but
what it would control speed. And
it would be detrimental to no
one.
AS to traffic locally. Why waste
the city's money with a traffic
cop" at Fleming and Duval? To-
tally unnecessary. Place a Stop"
sign on the walk. as well as the
one painted now on the roadway
and 900 out of a thousand mo-
florists will heed il, because il is
universal warning-one they
are accustomed to. There have
been no accidents at this corner
why the sudden splurge? Are we
trying to show off? If we must
have a cop. let him have instruc-
ton in the art. as his present
methods cause confusion and do
not serve to expedite matters.
He should present his front and
his back against the traffic he
wishes TO stop. No whistle blow
ing. arm waving or beckoning. to
confuse, which it frequently does.
Also. why do we allow the
peace and quiet Of the place to
be disrupted. early morning and
late az night. by the senseless
blowing Of the atrocious ear-Split-
ting nerve wracking horns No
good driver uses q horn. Only
poor drivers and irresponsible.
unthinking persons, They should
be horse whipped.

The ship detective wiped the per
spiration from his forehead.
"You had better arrest yourself"
remarked Mr.. Roullier, tartly, tap
ping Young on the shoulder.
"Ask the Captain to come here"
whispered Young hoarsely as he sank
trembling upon a chair. Mr.. Anstruh-
ter handed him a glass of whiskey and
soda. The detective drank it in long
gulps-he had needed it badly.
Captain Morlaner soothingly held
up his hands, saying: Gentlemen, it
is of no use to worry our heads about
how this situation happened: we must
merely confess ourselves beaten. We
are at this moment in the power of
a thief. He wears the cap in invisi-
bility and turns the ship upside down,
amusing himself at our expense, but
our time will come. Fate will capture
him before we reach harbor. No ship
has ever been the plaything of a
thief. The hocus-pocus in the bar is
clear to me, the thief wished to bring
distrust and enmity among the pas
sengers; he would destroy our peace
of mind We must remember that we
are gentlemen gathered here in the
bar, and that none of us is a thief.
Every man here is an honorable gen.
