I wi 1 had the time to go into this mat ter from the scientific point of view, for years. being a graduate in me cine and also in surgery, and having! had gent men along scientific lin ing this subject from the {point of view and that of the driver nd the pedestrian.

So it with tramie. | If there is a congestion in any o point of a city, town, village o {then you are at the dan jthe weakest link in your s Mental Attitude Discusxe The mental attitude of the drive: important part in traffic control. The; scientific signal matter that T have| |referred to "as a scientific business | {18 conveyed to the officer simply by the eye and from the eye to’ the brain. There is no question or doubt, | and I have learned it from observa- tion and analyzing many articles ap- pearfing in periodicals “and papers, | that the flash advertising system is: the greatest of all systems, because the moment you see a flash | vour mind is attracted to that flash.! and after a while to the very point| of the flash, when you see it flashing. | and it eventually becomes part’ of | vour daily routine when on the; streets. | The_phenomenon of flash is a most remarkable thing. The phenomenon | \f daylight is a most remarkable thing; the phenomenon of night is a| most remarkable thing. The m, nificence of a setting sun is a most iremarkable thing. and I venture toj say that there is not onc man, whether he loves nature or whether he j j observes it simply because he is liv- | ing on this earth, who will not agree vith me in admitting that when there jis a beantiful sunset he observes it and usually has this to say—that it is wonderful, it is beautiful and re- i markable, at all times riveting the iresult of its flash splendor on the mind. 2 ‘ Considers Control by Flash. ‘With these scientific thoughts I oftentimes retire, hoping to find a solution to a territory that is 80 highly congested at. this time that I evolved a scigntific thought o i trolling traffic a flash: a method of a tower that has been used | {for many years at terminals of rail-| roads; a simple device, a flash that| for years has been used along railroad | _terminals but never thought of in| traffic regulation on the highways of | big _cities, towns or villages. H ‘When you see a flash you imme- *diately observe there is a command | for something. The mechanism is _simply a battery with lights on either side of this little tower, and when traffic in this particular city {s moving | north or south the yellow flash is observed. When it is moving east or | west, in order that the people may have due cognizance of the change in the direction of traffic, the red light | is flashed. That means that they shall prepare for a change in direc- tion of traffic, and also gives the pedestrians on the streets an oppor- tunity to clear the intersections and get out of the way before the new traffic_proceeds. , Therefore, between the yellow light and the green light there is the red light. The success of controlling traffic by the flash has more than passed our expectations in this city. It is the most astonishing thing what educa- tion will do along that line, where a photographic impression is based upon the theory of phenomenon, and the mind itself.” Ninety-four per cent of the people using 5th avenue at this time held the flash, and only 6 per cent desire to steal a street. as we call it. and try to rake one block farther. The 6 per cent, as a rule, are people who are mot given to an endeavor to assist this department in its anxiety to protect life and limb from injury. Sees Extraordinary Conditio It is a most extraordinary condition | that I wish to tell you ahout. In lhiu' city in the fifteen months that this tower system has- been in opera- tion there has not been {issued one summons on Fifth avenue. The pub- lic has become educated to the new system, and people have written the department thousands of letters as- suring the department that this means of control of traffic is agreeable to the community. And ‘that is one of the fundamental principles upon which this signal device has been uilt, because a regulation must be enerous, police _officer .must be generous and the public must be gen- erous. The public, by writing these letters, has signified its willingness to assist, to co-operate, to co-brdinate its every-day life upon the streets. The press has, without one exception, given the departmert the absolute assyrance, both through editorials and items, that the people of this} city are satisfled with the system. ‘The officers of the department like- wise have assured the department heads that they are agreeable and like the system. . There remains but one thing that ‘would make it even more perfect, and that is if the streets were a little wider and more numerous we are satisfled that instead of handling 450,000 vehicles on the streets of this city and-in the neigfgborhood of three mitlions to four millions of peo- ple each day, we would be able to \ ASHINGTON, D.

FLASH FROM TOWER REGARDED BEST IN CONTROL OF TRAFFIC lAdvantages of System to AH Countrieé I Seen in Complete Standardizing of Street Signals: By Dr. John A. Harriss, Specisl Deputy Police reach a point where we would be jable to almost perfectly handle the { traffic congestion in the greatest cen- ter in the world.. Great Opportunity Presented. A great opporttunity has presented itself In an endeavor to_standardize traffic, not only in the United States but throughout the world.

Quotes Views of Drivers. i Drivers have told me frequeuntly!® that when they leave one tower they) are watching for the next’ tower.! { They know there is a police officer in that tower, and even though that police officer is elevated so many feet above the pavement, nevertheless the | very fact that the officer is there| makes this a great giant of regula- tion. The simplicity of a device of thiei kind is that in case one light should get out of order the other one per- forms its function, and if one light should fail officers alol the avenue can determine that it working and the other tower are doing the work. If devices are submitted that have an automatic system that has one control with just one light in the center, be very care-| | ful before considering same as a per- | fect flash control system. i Three fundamental principles are! essential in your guidance in connec-| tion with traffic control. Firstly, the people must be with you; secondl you must have the officers with you. and thi-dly. the regulations govern- ing all of e traffic intricacies must co-ordinate with the human mind. Lack Produces Weak Control. 1f any one of these three important factors is lacking, it makes traffic gontrol weak, and it will not fun tion properly.
