Pedestrians to Blame for Many Accidents, Traffic Men Say—Fail to Obey Regulations
Bv DICK MILLER. Hundreds of Boy Scouts striving to make Indianapolis a safe city naturally will cause the majority of citizens to think that it is a move for more careful automobile driving. True this is, but there are others who need to be careful, police officials say. Recently a man who drives a car and who never has had any trouble with the police said: “If automobilists drove as carelessly as pedestrians walk, and with as little regard for other people's rights, the jails would be full of them.” Confuses Motorists. Not only has the disregard for traffic rules on the part of pedestrians thrown consternation in the ranks of the motorists, but it has the local police and city officials worried. “What can we do?” is frequently asked Traffic Captain Michael Glenn, by the officers in his department. Stationed on a corner the officer is responsible for the motor and street car traffic that passes. He runs a semaphore signal. That signal is not only for the vehicle traffic, but also for the pedestrian traffic. Few walkers realize this. Violations of this signal during the last week caused four persons to be injured, one fatally. In the traffic department are corner men, motorcycle officers, parking rule officers and sideline men. To the walkers the latter are the least known and least obeyed. Sideline Officer Protects Walker On most of the downtown turners during rush hours an officer is i laced on each of the four sides. Ht is there to protect the walker. He has less authority by way of city ordinances, but he is there trying to protect the pedestrian and save lives. When the semaphore signal turns, causing the stop of the vehicle traffic crossing the lane for pedestrians, which he is directing, he urges the walker 'to hurry'. When the signal turns again, giving the “Go” sign to the vehicles, he endeavors to keep the pedestrians from going on. While motor cars are passing frequently a short gap is left between two and invariably some person not within INDIANAPOLIS GROWS Public Works Board Ordprs Alley and Curb Improvements.

LOCATE HATCHERY fish and Game Department Selects Lawrence County Site. The fifth State fish hatchery will be located at Avoca, Marshall Township, Lawrence County, one and onehxlf miles from Oolitic and six miles from Bedford, George N. Mannfeld, director of \he fish and game division of the department of conservation, announced following- the purchase yesterday of twenty-four acres of land from Pratt and Emery H. Bridewell. The twenty-four acres were purchased for SI,BOO, for which no State funds will be expended, he announced, since this division is sustained by the sportsmen of the State who buy hunting and fishing licenses.

reach will dart between the cats. This throws the driver in a position not easy to meet, lie has to throw on his brakes. Sometimes drivers get nervous and swerve to one side or the other and strike or scarier the group waiting. Injuries have thus resulted many' times, and the driver is arrested for assault and oattery and improper driving. The original cause, the person who was in a hurry, and who-darted between the machines, goec on unconcerned and unhandled. There is a dire necessity for the Legislature to pass a law against such pedestrians such as the law that was passed prohibiting “Jay walking,” the police say. Traffic ‘Do’s’ and ‘Don'ts’ Traffic rights and wrongs for pedestrians take in some of the following “dos” and “don’ts:” (1.) Look both way’s before crossing a street. 12.1 Cross the street at a regular | crossing, not diagonally, or in the i middle of the block. (3.) Always obey the traffic officers’ j signals and commands. (4.) Observe the line of traffic and do I not cross before the signal is given for \ the traffic to move in the direction in which you are going. (5.) Don’t stop or loiter on a street intersection. (6.) Pedestrians upon the approach of a fire apparatus, police patrol, emergency police machine, or ambulance shall stay on the sidewalk until such vehicle shall have passed. (7.) Pedestrians have the same right Jack Dempsey Says Newer Form of Iron Increases Strength Jack Dempsey says: “In building up rugged strength, power and endurance there is nothing like filling your blood with Btrength-giving iron—l firmly be- ! lieve that it puts added power behind my punch.” Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital. (OutDoor Department), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital, in com- j mentiug on Dempsey’s statement says: j “No man without plenty of good jed blood rich in health-giving and strens h- j building iron can go through life filled with vigor, force and power.” “Every thinking person should realize If men as physically fit as Jack Dempsey, Zack Wheat. Harry Hooper and dozens of other leaders in the world of sport have helped to maintain their supremacy by the use of this newer form of iron which is called Nuxated Iron, how much more important it is for the average man to sea that there ia no lack of iron in his blood. A surprisingly large number of people suffer from iron deficiency Without iron in the blood, you cannot be your best, either mentally or physically .because lack of iron not only makes you nervous, irritable, and easily fatigued, but robs you of that virile force, that stamina and strength of will which are so necessary to success and power in every walk of life. To help make strong, keen, red-blooded Americans there is nothing in my experience which I have found so valuable as Nuxated Iron.” Get a bottle of Nuxated Iron today. Take It for two weeks, and if you have not. like thousands of other, obtained most surprising health, strength and energy, the manufacturers will promptly refund your money. Nuxated Iron is sold with this “satisfaction or money back” guarantee by j Hook Drng Cos., Haag Drug Cos. and j Henry Hnder.

Above—These pedestrians crossed "against” the traffic signals and came near being run over as a result. Center—Showing the danger of dodging between two automobiles while disregarding the signals of the traffic police. Below —Pedestrians caught in a "wedge” between a stret car turning a corner and an automobile going ahead. This was because they didn't walk with the traffic signals. between the rows of motor traffic. These are called "safety islands.” Use them. (10.) Don't hlame the driver of a motor car. Watch your step and make both driving and walking more safe for humanity.
