Columbia Motor Club, which arranged for the enrollment of the emergency drivers. On Icy Streets. “When the streets are covered with ice and snow appeals for aid come pouring into the emergency road serv- ice bureau, and often every single plece of available equipment is on the streets at one time, starting stalled cars, thawing frozen motors, placing | #kid chains on tires or rendering other emergency assistance. “In view of the conditions under which they operate, these men already have established a remarkable safety record, having been involved in only one accident while on duty during the past five years, and their signing of The Star driving pledge indicates their determination to maintain and dmprove that record.” . The emergency road service is on duty 24 hours every day of the year, it was pointed out, but it is during the Winter that calls for service reach their peak and that the exposure of the emergency drivers to the combined hazards of traffic and weather reaches its maximum. 1,400 Calls in 10 Hours. During the extended cold weather | last Winter, when there was a city- wide failure of automotive atnrtlngi power, A. A. A. emergency service| trucks responded to 1,400 calls in 10 hours. In five days of the most severe cold weather they were called to ING STAR, WASHINGTON, The Terminal Transportation Cab Association, operating more than 200 taxicabs in the District, has pledged its support of The Star safety drive. Joseph Mouser, president of the company, is shown standing beside a cab, in which 1s seated Adrian A. Duvall, chairman of the association’s Advisory Board.

We think these problems could easily |be solved under traffic regulations based on controlled speeds. But let's pass on in fancy to a less drastic D place for the front set of lights, and th middle of the car rear for the tail set. Require that these lights be actuated by the speedometer so as to show, up to 25 miles per hour a green light in the prescribed place front and rear; from 25 to 50 miles a yellow light; and above 50 miles a red light. Require also that the same lights be visible to the driver on the instru- ment board of his car. [ “Perhaps it is well to finish the job and add a fourth light to our £peed signal bracket—another red one to show beside the 50-mile red ot 60 miles an hour or better, so that any car driven at excess speed will flash its double warning to every other car on the road. “Now, consider the automatic result that would be registered on automo- tive trafic throughout the country if the installation of such a speed signal were required on every car. ‘Consider the effect on yourself if the change of your dash light from green to yellow told you and every one else you were violating the street traffic ordinance of your own, or another, city; if the change from yel- lo - to red and then to double red on the road kept you and others con- stantly informed as to your excess of speed. “Consider the greater safety of the | road if it were possible, day and | night, by a glance at a car traveling ahead of you or approaching you, to know—not guess—its relative speed. “Consider the inescapable responsi- bility for speed in excess of traffic warnings or in excess of the obvious dictates of safety that would thus be imposed conspicuously on every driver. “Consider the ease of detection and conviction of every violator of city speed ordinances everywhere. “Why should countless police in cars and motor cycles, in thousands of cities and villages throughout the en- | tire country, continue the thankless slaughter on the railroads. miles maximum for city street driving would be one sure method.

Practically all of the emergency road service drivers are forced to take eold serum treatments to ward off the serious colds which otherwise would almost 1nevitably result from their ex- posure to cold and wet during Winter, it was said “The District of Columbia Motor Club salready has co-operated in The Btar’s safety campaign by enlisting all its employes and by distributing pledges to members and now by kging- ing its emergency road service drfvers into this movement the club is doing everything in its power to ald the excellent work being carried on by The Star in its efforts to cut down the District’s tragic traffic toll,” it was stated by club officials. Guard Signing Up. The District of Columbia National Guard is taking an active part in The Btar’s safe-driving campaign. Col. John W. Oehmann, commanding officer of the organization, writes in as follows: “Replying to your letter of October 24 I am pleased to inclose copy of memorandum No. 13, this head- quarters, which has been distributed to all units. Arrangements have been made to make the first returns of signed pledges following our next drill. “I am sure that all members of the District of Columbia Guard appreciate the opportunity to assist in the work of making the streets of Washington safe for drivers and pedestrians alike and I assure you that we appreciate method. “Let's for the moment leave mot.r ducted by The Evening Star.

The Monroe Evening News of Mon- roe, Mich., has taken up the question of safety in an active way. Excerpts . from a recent editorial were sent to leaders of the automotive industry and to The Star. It asks that the speed of cars be limited by a governor, and that a device be made for signaling. In part, the editorial states: “Let us for a moment consider tke possibility of applying to the automo- bile and to automotive traffic positive engineering controls or devices akin to those which have turned back the . . Safe Driving Pledge N THE interest of accident prevention and safer conditions on the streets and highways and in co-operation with the Safety Council of The Evening Star, I promise to: Never operate at reckless speed.

Give right of way in doubtful cases, Heed pedestrians’ rights. Never pass on curve or top of hill. Slow down at intersections and schools.
