(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Uniform Traffic Regulations | The movement for uniform traffic regulations and signals is getting impetus as the result of the widespread application of colored lights for t : direction. Thousands of cities throughout the country are installing such lights—and the system in use h city is enti y different from that in use other. In one city you can turn left} on yellow, in another you cannot. In one city you can turn right on red, in another city you cannot And motorists are getting exceedingly tired of the} eternal confusion. The decision of the American Engineering Coun- | ¢ cil to study traffie conditions in 250 cities as a basis for the recommendation of “national dards that will simplify the driving of automobiles and gradually improve street and highway con- in in any stan- ditions” will meet with gencral approval. Of course, | ref we've had several surveys before, any number of | them, and it certainly can’t hurt to have another. Perhaps after a few su enough data will be available for chap like Herbert Hoover to devise a simple yetaadequate scheme for the regulation of traffic under any and all con- ditions. That will be one-half of the battle, anyway. The second half will be get all the cities and boroughs and townships to pass the ordinances | necessary to put the new program into effect, for, if it is not acted upon unanimous then we should be no better off at the end of all this surveying than we are at the present time. n There is no doubt that variance in traffic rules has become so irritating that motorists de losing patience. The average driver is unable to under- stand why these rules cannot be substantially the same everywhere and why a light signal in Oshkosh: should not mean the a light signal in New Orlea or San Francisco, more some to The Busy Bee Bubble H It seems that all of our worship of the. busy bee has been the worship of a bubble, a fragile illusion | that science has now rude! at once of one of the fundamentals of our childish faith in nature and of a most powerful object lesson for making lazy people work. Now that we can no longer use the example we can recall how it has been to tell a la person to think about the be and resolve to be more like him and improve each ‘shining hour.” So few have our really good ex- amples become these last few disillusioning years.that we sincerely regret the passing of this time honored, although worn, expedient. But why do we thus change our viewpoint on the busy bee? you will ask. Well, the answer is | quite simple. It is that science has proven itself} to be so nearly correct on so many important subjects that when a prominent professor comes forward and declares that the little honey-maker much overestimated to his working inclined to believe his statement. effective busy in as | and |themselves if you giv health is so e: to the pleasure one gets out of life that it deserves habit of getting. it is to get well. the field of opera, and just and jazz were used to produce a “modern” effect. | will searcely tend to add to Germany's laurels in | the operatic field, however.
