A man thinks he knows how, to drive his car. He has his “permit to conduct” and his “pass from the tax office” (show- ing' that he is paid up). The car has its gray card; it has the metal plate with name of maker and “charac- teristics”; the metal plate with own er's name and address; the car's number front and back, of right di- mensions; a honk horn and two brake systems, independent of each other. It will not help him going east- ward in the Boulevard Haussmann | from the corner of the Rue Tronchet at 8 am. One minute he is OK, rolling down the broad avenue. One inch beyond, he dar'sn't! He sees the house down there where he wants to go. He mistn't continue toward it. To get around that dead line he must turn off into the Rue Auber, drive four blocks down to the boulevatd, circumnavi- gate the Opera, and, vio the Rue Gluck, re-enter the Boulevard Hauss- mann by “the back way!” The Boulevard Haussmann has be- come a “one-way" street for just three blocks of its long stretch—as the only means to protect the Gare St. Lazare (although two blocks north) from inextricable encumber- ment. This from § a.m. to 8p.m. Other streets become one way at p.m—like the Boulevard Dendin, from the Place de Reubalx to the Magenta-Lafayette crossroads. - Most HERE 2 | clnded Dr. Wallace structor. apt, Ross, the died in 1914, having structor for thirty v “The cadet more military unit.” iastsuctor Crai “Its main object is character building and training for future citi- zenship.

Its eastward taboo begins only at 3 p.m., not 2 p.m., and from the Rue Cambon only to the Rue de Castigliene—as experience dem- onstrates that its excessive crowding begins only at that later afternoon nour. 1t is all because of crowding. These are the fevers of great cities. One-way streets is the latest, most fundamental remedy. Monsieur Naudin, prefect of police, has published section maps of them. Where streets on such are blank vehicles may circulate in both di- rections.

If you se ahead, that all the traffic is coming toward you, there's a dead-line near. M. Naudin will say, of course, that he places indicating posts at ecross- roads. Where “one-way" begins, the sign points the forbidden direction Hum! If the post is there, it warns you. There are too few posts—they dare not use enough. The posts are on rollers, They are shifted about, to educate the driving public. But posts, wherever posts would be useful, would make an unpractical and laughable incumbrance. So, they station a white club police- man for a few days—where unpro- vided spots are unexpectedly re- ported as “abused.” * % LD WHITE B trian’s only friend. Take 85 ordinary policemen.
