(Editor’s note: This is the second of three articles by a Washington taricab driver, F. A. Allen, 405 Fourth street northeast, dealing with various phases of the local trafiic situation from the viewpoint o/ the professional driver, who spends most of his waking hours in the thick of trafic. Mr. Allen has captioned this article: “The Driver and the Pedestrian.”) BY F. A. ALLEN. N PROMOTING the safety of both the pedestrian and the driver we consider the behavior of both at street intersections that are equipped with signal lights. When a driver has a green light he should have the full width of a street, clear of radestrians. What do we usually find? Instead we find the pedestrians starting off the curbing and partially blocking the street so that there is room for only one line of traffic on Bl | & street that should accommodate two @ QUALITY NEWSPAPER ENGRAVING Sonce 1877 MAURICE JOYCE ENGRAVING CO. e EVENING STAK BUILDING -+~ WASHINGTON D.C. - REALLY good inner- Spring mattress, unless bought direct from the fac- | tory, costs $30 and up.

It is on an occasion like this that we have a very good estimate of the proverbial difficulty a camel has in getting through the eye of a needle. Two or three lines of cars have to pass through this narrow opening that is flanked by hasty but unwise pedes- trians. Even Then Take Chance. Even under such unfavorable condi- tions there are still those folks who are willing to take a chance, and you will find that if there should be a small space between cars some foolhardy pedestrian will take the chance of jumping between cars in his rush to get across. Then we are apt to find the driver compelled to wait till the tide of pedestrians recedes, even though the signal lights give him the right of way—this is hardly fair to the driver, for by so waiting he may have to wait the full time of the light and then lose out by having to wait for the next change of light. This danger sort of leads us into | & discussion of “jay-walking.” One of the reasons for the installation of sig- nal lights was to®provide protection so that a person on foot could cross | at an intersection with the light safe- guarding him. Why is it that in spite of this we find those who simply must cross in the middle of the street? Nor | is it the “jay-walker” who always suf- fers. When an operator sees you “jay- walking” he may be forced to turn abruptly. Immediately there arises | the possibility of his hitting a parked car or even of jumping the curb and injuring foot traffic on the sidewalk. ‘-Fortunutely, these accidents are not too frequent, but at times it seems little short of miraculous lhat we do not have more of them. Lines for His Protection. The lines you see painted on the pavements are there for a real purpose. | The law protects the pedestrian who | uses them and does so with the pro- tection of the signal lights or with the instruction of the police,officer who may be on duty. It is only fair to the officer that you make use of these |lines. The law has no sympathy for the “jay-walker"—if we would but stop to consider that, how many of us would be more careful in crossing the street except under proper conditions? As a pedestrian, why not try to give the officers and the drivers a square deal Just as they are willing to zive if only co-operation is had? In summary then, there are 'hese points to remember: Cross when al- lowed by the officer or the signal lights; stay within the limits of the crosswalks; don’t crowd into the street and take up the space that should be for the passage of the automobile traffic.

BY L. B. DUNN, East Falls Church, Va. Another swell morning, and it's| great to be alive. Well, it's off to work. Doesn't the car start easily! That compulsory inspection is a fine thing, but it doesn’t mean anything to me. I've saved money and worry for many years by keeping my car well olled and regularly inspected. Say, that “Pledged Safe Driver” sticker given me by The Star Safety Council is great! I must write and thank them for it. I have it in the rear window, right-hand corner. I wouldn’t risk obstructing one square inch of the view through the wind- shield, and anyway, the place where other drivers will see the sticker is in the rear. That sticker really does make me conscious of my pledge, and proud, too! It's like marching down Penn- sylvania avenue in a uniform. I couldn’t be unconscious of that! Here comes one of the “lunatic| fringe” behind me. Well, I'll slow up | for this railroad crossing, anyway.! Is that fellow mad! He almost hit me in the rear. Probably doesnt know there's ‘a car track here, or doesn't care. Yes, he's young—in his twen- tles, as I thought. His license shows he's a local driver, and Il bet he goes along here every day. There he goes—like a bat out of hell, passing me on a downhill curve. These cheap, tinhorn drivers always choose to pass you going downhill, because it takes a good car to pass going up. Yes, after eight years of steady driv- ing I can spot a reckless driver a long | way off, It's fun to spot them— | sort of a game of psychology. Some- | times it's the impatient horn blasts, even when there’s no occasion for it; sometimes just the speed or the sudden and uneven acceleration. If | it’s a young man with a girl, it's almost a dead cinch he will move heaven | %[ and earth to get ahead, passing even on the crest of a hill—to show off to the girl friend, of course. . No, I'm not an expert driver, even though I've never caused an accident | of any consequence—just a couple scratched fenders, which were paid for by my MNability ‘woyldn’t think of even owning a car— let alone driving it—without lability insurance. Here’s the beautiful Arlington Bridge again. That trafic sign is plain enough—22 miles per hour. Hmm— most of these cars passing me are going 30 at least. Here comes another, right behind me. Well, go on, big boy, there’s three lanes ahead, and I'm in the middle one. Believe it or not! He's slowed down. Sure, he can read my sticker—“A Pledged Safe Driver.” What do you know? Oh, miracle, it's made him think! Well, that's not the first driver that's done that. Maybe he can now enjoy this beautiful early morning vista, too. This safe-driving campaign is surely @ blessing. With daily driving, I can easily sense the improvement. Watch out—there’s a couple ahead trying to Stick ’Em On THE EVENING STAR SAFETY m:y,wuumnm,nopm. R insurance.

Now that the war between Paraguay and Bolivia has ended, the chief prob- lem of those two countries’ diplomats in Washington is to speed up the colonization of their depleted coun- tries and, to a certain extent, in- terest American capital in this de- velopment. Dr. Don Gurigue Bordengve, Para- guayan Minister, has been most ac- tive in interviewing representatives of various groups intending to migrate to the Paraguayan Chaco. At present the Paraguayan Congress is considering extensive legislation for the purpose of colonization. It plans to allot unsettled areas and give a certain amount of assistance through loans for seed and tools. French Group Interested. Two definite groups have evidenced a growing interest in settling in the Paraguayan Chaco. One of them is the Douksbor sect, now lving in| Canada, and the other is a group headed by a French colonizing firm which seeks to settle either White Rus- sians from Paris or unemployed Amer- icans in the Chaco. ‘The Doukabors migrated to Canada several years ago and settled on large wheat areas in the Canadian Mid- west. However, they were not free from persecution from Canadians be- cause of their pacifist beliefs and their custom regarding the wearing of scanty clothing. As s result, one faction has urged migration to the Chaco. Another faction, however, prefers remaining in Canada. So far no definite action has-been taken. The French colonizition promoters | originally sought tg settle White | Russians in the Chace, but also have | had several discussions with Minister | Bordenave regarding the migration of | unemployed Americans. F. E. R. A. Plan Considered. The question has been considered as to whether F. E. R. A. funds might be devoted to paying the expenses of | unemployed as far as the Chaco, where the Paraguayan government would take up the burden from that | point on. No decision has been made | regarding this and the whole ques- ton awaits present negotlations be- | | tween the Paraguayan government and a representative who is now in | Asuncion. One of the big developments in the Argentine part of the Chaco in re- cent years has been cotton. Gov. Castells of the Argentine Chaco is | arriving in New York Thursday in order to make a tour of the North American cotton belt, with a view to | latest cotton-growing | ! methods.
