That You Should Know about Your Auto; How | To Drive and Keep It Advice How to Keep Automobiles Running jmoothly and the Best Way to Remedy Machine Trouble—Traffic Suggestions and Pleasure Routes for Evening World Readers. By GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. FTER countless experiments New York street traffic 1s far from being properly regulated. There have been frequent periods of improvement, but tho ever increasing stream of traffic, both Pleasure and commercial, makes the city’s streets far from satisfactory. The creation of a traffic commis ston with absolute powers to handle | street traffic seems to be-the only logical solution of the present diff culttes, This commission would be composed of competent traffic experts who could spend all their time de vising new and more efficient regula- tions. This arrangement would re- lieve the Police Department from a great deal of work. It would also xive the force more time to enforce regulations the commission would develop.

Hatrbreadth escapes attended a fire early to-day in the five-story tenement at No, 1787 Madison Ave- nue, occupied by twelve families, The blaze started oh the ground floor and went through the roof, mushrooming on several floors, where frightened tenants fled, leaving their doors open. Samuel Friedman, thirty-one, who occupied a third floor apartment with his family, found himself cut off from either the front or rear. He threw open a side window and began mak- ing his way hand over hand on e double clothes line to the butlding at No, 64 East One Hundred and Eight- eenth Street, One of the lines broke, but Louls Markowitz and Bernard McDonald, standing on the opposite fire-escape, hitched the remaining rope around the Iron work and held it taut until Friedman completed his aerial jour- ney. He was badly burned about the face and eyes and had to be attended by _a« physictan, Mins Mary Joffe, twenty-two, was being held out of a front second- story window by a motorman when her rescuer’s strength failed. She was ught uninjured by Firemen Halton and Lynch of Truck Company No, 16. The motorman had alre hy passed her brother and sister, E trand and Beatrice, toa spot of safety over the portico, A dozen tenants wore taken down by means of extension ladders, The fire did $3,000 dama — ORATORIO FIGHT GR GROWS.

Mr. Reisner’s Views. : ‘ Marguerite Mooers Marshall To-morrow is Save-the-Food Sun- day.
