the bicycle rider blissfully ignoring
the traffic signs and lights.
In many States they already
have or are trying to get laws to
govern the use of bicycles in traf-

the riders would discard their 1T

gard to the stop" street signs,

OFFICIALS FORRIED
Police officials, most naturally,
claim the traffic lights and sig
nails are placed there as much for
the foot propelled vehicles as for
the motor driven ones, but HOW
CAN THEY BE ENFORCED? That
question has caused many sleep
less nights in official circles.
One OF the best moves along this
line is the voluntary one sponsored
by the Safety Councils in their
bike Clubs" To be a member,
the owner of a bicycle pledges
himself to obey all traffic signs,
equip with lights, and keep his
bike in mechanical trim.
Each member is a committee OF
one in charge of his own safety

STOCKS WEAKEN.
Then Get BACK.
MOST OF LOSSES.
Rubber Scores Again
After Early Drop
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 1.N.S).
The stock market weakened and
then firmed up today. Leaders
opened heavy and then showed
losses running to two points in
blue chips in the first hour.
Toward midday a modest rally
developed and losses were cut con-
siderably.
PRESSURE ON STEEL
Steel shares were under some
pressure from the opening, and
losses ran to point and more in
such isueS as Bethlehem. Crucible
and U. S. Steel. The declines were
halved later.
Chrysler fell more than a point
and then reduced its loss to a
fraction while General Motors re-
gained half of point loss.
In the high-priced list Westing-
house started a point lower and
then added another point before
meeting support.
The rubbers came back easily.
q. S. Rubber scored small gain
after being lower, while Goodyear
recovered virtually all of a point
loss.
WESTERN UNION WEAK
American Telephone halved a
loss of we'll over a point. Western
Union was weak. Oils and util-
tiles were down fractionally. Rails
suffered sizeable losses in the first
hour weakness and then came back
about halfway.
Tobaccos were mixed, with Amer
lean Tobacco B higher and Philip
Morris down. Electric Auto Lite
came back easily in to auto &C
cessorieS. Coppers cut early losses
running to over a point, aided by
a markup in prices of the scrap
metal.
Commodities we're sluggish. And
foreign issues were heavy in the
bond market.
