The large size ten cent loaf of TIP-TOP or DAINTY-MAID bread is healthful and wholesome food for young and old and it is the cheapest of all foods. You get more bread for your money when you buy it than you do in buying small loaves because there is less crust and practically no waste— every ounce is pure, but two “heels” instead of fo nutritious, body-building food. Economize on other high priced foods if you will, but eat liberally of WARD'S BREAD for health’s sake and economy's sake.

THE EVENING WOR WOULD STRIP THE CITIES OF ~ POLICE REGULATING POWERS Two Welch Measures De- | nounced as “Patchwork” | by Experts. NULLIFY PRESENT LAWS. Proved Inconsistent and Sure to Cause Chaos in City Thoroughfares, By Sophie Irene Loeb. There are two bills introduced by Assemblyman Welch now pending be- fore the Legislature “to provide for uniform regulations of vehicles, ant- mals and pedestrians” and “to amend the Highway Law in relation to motor vehicles.” ince the bills have been tntro- duced and after a hearing before @ legislative committes, whieh pointed) out the many faults im the Prospective leg- islation, frantio efforts have been made to amend the bills in many places, but the measures have not been im- proved to a practical degres, accord- ing to the best known authorities on the subject. The bills have the in- dorsement of the Conference of May- ors, but it 1s generally conceded that no experienced workers on the sub- ject of traffic were consulted In the framing of tho bills. One of the big objections against this legislation is its probable injury to the present Taxicab Ordinance brought into existence by the efforts of The Evening World, which statute has been tested through all the courts Jand which has brought about lower rates and improved service in the city such a8 had seemed imponsible to se- cure. Two of the most inent wre who condemn the bills are William TP. Eno, the international traffic au- thority, and Charfés Thaddeus Terry, professor of law of Columbia Uni- versity and general counsel for the Automobile Trade Association for the Stato and the American Automobile Association of the United States. | Mr. Eno has established regulations that are now in operation tn leading countries of Europe as well es throughout United States. Even | to-day the ysteme Eno" is being | operated in the war xones of France jand is strongly praised by French | newspapers. | Mr, Eno stated to-day. |WELCH BILLS A CALAMITY IF PASSED. “Some months ago these bills wore sent to me for critictm, and I want to say that in my opinion if they are | passed it will simply be @ calamity, | a the section on tratfic, which ts the |main part of one bill, has been taken directly or indirectly, as have all other sets of traffic regulations in the world, from the one in force in New| | York, although I am sure that it has {not been taken directly from the last! New York set, a9 tt contains consid-| erable of the wording of the earlier] set | he result has been that while | almost everything of value has been filohed from the New York | regulations, these have | | istorted by rearrangem: and by impo | ind unimportant ad- | the patchwork thus | produced is confusing and much | too long. order of traffc regulation also| en all mixed up; and clear,) concise sentences have by long, complicated o: to understand even by one well 1 on the subject, Such an act nis should not be allowed to pass. re should be a Traffic Act in each but It should be as concise and eur a8 it possibly can be made, containing only what is necessary and not a word over, about this act to oppose its being passed, even with the promise that it be amended next year, for ff It ts, even then such an act as is contem- ated would only be a poor amended hing at best, A concise Trae Act such as T have formerly outlined ts being prepared by a fow people who have made & deep study of the ques- tion, and the matter should be up until this can b represented, TERRY CALLS BILLS MONGREL "F urga the public to learn enough | AND MONSTROUS, | | Mr, ‘Terry sets forth the following | objections to the bill: | “Lt ls ® monstrous thing and should | be defeated in its present form. When | 1 opposed the bill-on the floor of the | Benate in Albany at @ joint meeting | of the two Internal Affairs Commit- | tees of the two Houses, the prepon- \ents of the bill were forced to admit that certain amendments should be |made to whip it into any kind of shape, | “it is @ monerel thing and desery Let me remark p: to be shelved. ticularly that the usual place of rm | treat of those who acknowledge that ® bill is bad, namely, @ proposition to jamend it ‘next year,’ is to any one who has had experience with legisia- tion, an utter fallacy, Such amend- ments rarely come about, and ff they do they require many the is necessary to formulate and enact a good bill tn the first place “The difficulty ts that the Conference | ppena ot work whic | {of Mavors and Mr ‘apes, the Secre- \tary of the Conference, together with Mr. Wolch, have #o confused the altu- ation that it may be of great dift- culty. or entirely impossible to straighten out the tangle, However, | cannot imagine that tn- tellixent legislators would be willing * \to stand for such a crasy-quilt affair as the Welch tratfic bill in its present It would simply lead to ¢on- fusion and make the situation worse even than it has been herctofore, LAW WOULD MAKE CRIMINALS OF CURB OPERATORS, “It 18 entirely too intricate an at- tempt to enact into law too many unnecessary definitions and a great many of the customary rules of con- duct followed by all drivers and oper- ators of vehicles, with sundry new regulations, which would result in great confusion on all of the high- ways fh the State, “Pedestrians would be subjected to many provisions of law which they would know nothi about, and the man on Broadway, Wall Street, Broad Street, or any of the downtown aeo- tions, would be a criminal about fifty times a day. The curb brokers’ mar- ket on Broad Street would have to be abolished. “This provision would make every Pedestrian subject to nearly every section of the act if he stepped off the curb on the travel part of the street, except under the protecting wing of a traffic officer. “It may be well enough to charge a Pedestrian with negligence if he fails to observe these regulations, but it Ia ridiculous to attempt to make him @ criminal for such failure. Section 14 of the speed provision would re- peal all local ordinances affecting motor vehicles, particularly motor vehicles in cities, unless there were signs posted on the street, which would be impossible in cities like New York, Buffalo, Albany, Syracuse and quite a number of others. “Section 2 permits local authort- tles only to onact speed ordinances in parks or on traffic streets which are congested WOULD TAKE VEHICULAR CON- TROL AWAY FROM POLICE, “This aection would take out of the control of the Police Depariment of the City of New York the present Motor Vehicle Ordinance which. is being enforced in that city. It would result in a great increase of accidents and in the number of persons who are killed by the operation of motor vehicles. It fixes no standard of speod except the judgment of the op- erator, and every prosecution for violation of the Motor Vehicle Law would become a long, tedious trial, “Local ordinance provisions of the act are inconsistent and would re- sult in confusion in the enforcement of the law. In one section (subdivi- sion 4 of section 23) local authorities are restricted from passing any ordi- nanoces, and in subdivision 8 they are permitted to enact such ordinances as special conditions may make nec- essary. This would result in thous- ands of inconsistent regulations throughout the State, “A similar provision was contained in the Bailey bill, the first motor ve- Niele act, and it resulted, before that act was declared unconstitutional, in there being more than 10,000 inconsist- ent regulations throughout the State in every city or village. “The act would result In repealing the speed provision of the Motor Ve- hicle Law and many of its other pro- visions, because it is inconsistent therewith, and there is no saving clause. “Finally, (t would result in the re- peal of all ordinances regulating street car traMc throughout the large cities.” a DEFENSE PLEA TO DENTISTS.
