1 «fort conditions Ik comes ain the
worst it seems to mt like somebody
ougJ-t t'l get together and make up a
ret ot rules to govern passengers on
the lu1 cI and 1 would suggest a code
something like as follows;
1. Hi fore a piuon it allowed to
walk in the congested districts they
should ought to be forced to passed a
examination in walking and carry a
certificate that they have learned to
walk signed by & competent registered
pi*d«'Hli i;in.
1 A walker parsing another walk-
er going the same wn\ must pass him
or her on the left side and must be
t'luippcel with a whistle or bugle
which they will half to blow before
attempting the pa«s. Walkers walk-
ing in opp directiu s must pass • itch

person could find out who it was that
bumped into them and vice versa.
4 streets like Mh avenue for inst.
ought to be 1 way streets and the
walkers obliged to walk in the same
direction on both sides of the street.
I .ike tor example suppose you was ct
48th. st. and Mh. avenue awl wanted
to go to sonic joint on 5th. avenue be-
tween 4'th. and 41th. street. Well If
5th. avenue was for southbound traf-
fic only, why you could go direct, but
if it was a northbound St. you would
half to go over to 6th. avenue or Madi-
son avenue, then down to 44th st and
then back to 5th. and approach the
joint from the south.
Keep Fut I'coplo on One Street.
5 Cine of the greatest sources of
danger in pedestrian traffis Is the fe-
male habit of stopping all of a .sudden
in the middle of the wa I; to look in :i
window at something they ain't goinir
to buy. 1 have ran into hundreds of
dames on this acct. and on every oc-
casion they have acted and looked
like it was my fault. Women should
ought to be equipped with a belt
which has got the wd. "Slop'' wrote
on a lamp which is fastened to the
back of the belt and when they make
up their mind to stop they would press
a bulb which would light up the wd.
in vivid red.
C. Fat people ought to be forced to
confine their walking to certain streets
like a truilc Skinny people would
half to stay on streets that was for
pleasure vehicles only.
7. When a pedestrian is going to
turn a corner to the right they should
hold out their right hand vice versa.
i. The sp'ed limit on congested
districts e ight to 1 >■ 2 miles p« r hr.
9. Not more than 3 friends or
sweethearts shou'd be allow! d to
walk abn .ust of each other.

walkers should have their shoes
equlppel with chains or wear non-skid
rubbers or galoshs ot some standard
make.
11. Between 7 a. m. and £ p. m.
nobody should ought to be allowed to
park themself on the walk more than
a ) hr. at a time to look at some fas-
cinating sight like a man majkelng
waffles or pulling molasses taffy or
washing the window.
12. Women should be allowed to
push a go cart only In small towns

up the traffic but It has always seemed

The Lowest Priced Quality Roadster
The Chevrolet Roadster is a car that can be used purely
for business, purely for personal service, or in an ideal
combination of both.
It is intensely practical as a business car. For salesmen it
serves splendidly to multiply earning power, making pos-
sible the covering of a much larger territory and more calls
in a given time.
As a service car on farm or ranch, it again provides a high
degree of usefulness.
Quality and equipment considered, it is the lowest in price
of any car in America.
And because it is the car of lowest operating cost, it becomes
the cheapest in cost-per-year-of-service of any car in the
world.
Chevrolet Invites Comparison Because Comparisons Sell Chevrolet
Consider What Chevrolet Equipment Means:
Standard Rear Axle Construction. The
New Superior Chevrolet haa the itrong,
quiet, Spiral Bevel Gear Axle that "stands

Standard Transmission-three speeds for-
ward and one reverse.
Standard Braking System foot service brake,
hand emergency brake.

Standard Cooling System -pump circulation,

a cool, efficient engine, saving gasoline and oil
and insuring driving comfort.
Standard Instrument Board, containing
speedometer, ammeter, oil pressure gauge, light-
ing and starting switch and choke pull.
Standard Electrical System—starter, storage Standard Type ot ( atburetor, with exhaust

gallon of gasoline with a Chevrolet.
Powerful Valvtt-1n-Head Motor. The same
type os used in successful ears selling at much
