PEDESTRIAN HAS SOME RIGHTS IN NEW YORK CITY New Traffic Regulations Rank Walking Above Motoring at Times. Bn United Press NEW March 11.—The year 1927 brought anew set of regulations for the New York motorist and added protection for the pedestrian. Under the new code, adopted by the police traffic board, after months of study, the autonj,obile driver must give the right of way to the pedestrian at crossings not guarded by an officer or a signal device. Elimination of traffic congestion is one of the principal objects of the regulations. It is estimated by the board that this causes a loss of $1,000,000 a day in New York. Parking close to an excavation or obstruction was assigned as the principal cause of congestion. The rules forbid parking within twenty-five feet of these. Parking close to a corner and all night parking are also forbidden and other factors aiding congestion. The ordinance covering double parking is more adequately handled. The policeman is granted the right to disregard the automatic signals and to assume control of traffic himself any time that he believes an emergency exists. The board explained that it is impossible for a mechanical device to exercise perfect control at all times under changing conditions and that the system must be flexible. Longer waiting periods between "go” and “stop” lighis is also provided. “An almost instantaneous change in the direction of traffic gives no opportunity for clearance,” the board said. “To meet this condition the regulations have been changed to provide ‘an interval of several seconds between the red and green lights and vice verse to permit the pedestrians who are crossing the moment the lights change to reach the sidewalk in safety and to permit vehicles which have entered the area of intersection to pass beyond that area."

A | i* JBllllllk '|r >*. 1

President Coolidge waa tugged from the Whito House to Ills temporary home in the Patterson residence on Dupont Circle, Washington, at the end of the leash of Rob Roy, the pet of the executive mansion.

MR. FIXIT ‘Doggie’ Situation Again in City Limelight, Write your trouble* to Mr. Fixit. Ho is The Times representative at the city hall and will be glad to present them to the proper city officials. Write him in care o£ The Times signing fuil name address. All letters are confidential if requested. The “doggie” situation has again popped up in the complaints received by Mr. Fixit. One person writing Mr. Fixit today said ■‘that the great trouble with Indianapolis is that the city is overrun with dogs. She declared that she had counted eighteen dogs In one bunch pass her house on the day she wrote the letter. She asked that something be done about the matter at once, as the dogs are dangerous. The letter: Dear Mr. Fixit: I am writing you about a subject that I would appreciate if you would help me in any way. Now almost any visitor will say, “Is a pretty nice town, but you can’t walk for the dogs.” Mr. Fixit, I wish to tell you that I am rfo dog hater, for I have two myself, and I love them. But I keep mine tied up. But I do think that there are too many dogs running loose around the streets. It only a risk to the lives of our children, but I think that our little children should be protected against seeing acts which make wrong impressions on their minds. Only this morning I counted a group of eighteen dogs pass my house. MRS. M. A. G. The “doggie” situation in Indianapolis has been causing much worry and no seems to know just what is to be done. There is a law that declares that all dogs found roaming around the streets without their master can legally be killed. But there is also an ordinance that makes it unlawful for anyone to shoot inside of the

city limits. If the dogs are clubbed to death the humane society would have the offender arrested, the board of safety is now working with the police department trying to find some way out of the situation. Mr. Fixit thinks that some conclusion will be reached soon. Dear Sir: I am unable to get the ashes moved from the front of my home at 1318 E. St. Clair St. I will appreciate your help In getting this done. J- A. S. This matter has been called to the attention of Truly Nolen, superintendent of the collection department, who promised he would have the ashes removed at once. Dear Mr. Fixit: Thank you very much for your answer to my letter, but you say, “this matter should be brought to tfie attention of the patrolman on your beat.” Thanks again for this information, because I did not know that we had a patrolman around here anywhere. I asked my neighbors about It, and they declared that they had never seen a policeman on our street. We often see a policeman parked up at No. 27 engine house, but we. do not know whether he is on our beat or not. My neighbors would like to know if there really is a patrolman on our beat, and just what he or she really looks like. J. H. B. Police Chief Caude F. Johnson assured Mr. Fixit that there was a patrolman on your beat. He said that he would have the matter looked into, at once and see why he is not showing himself.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Bn United Press LONDON, March 11.—The horrors and tragedies of the war have been visited on the children born during that period and school results suffer in consequence, according to R. B. Wight, headmaster of Nottingham Mundella Secondary School. In an address at the annual distribution of prizes he said: “Children born during the war and in the years immediately following it are suffering from enormous physical and mental handicaps. They are handicapped by an inertia due to the hardships of wartime, which reflects itself in their intelligence and general application to work.” The headmaster said that a great many war babies had “C-3 brains.” C-3 is a British service rating, wherein men are physically unfit for the army and navy except in the case of extreme emergency. “The present school entrants are below the standard of previous years,” Wight said. “Not until 1931 will the standard become normal. The 1925-26 admissions were of children born in 1914-13. Broken homes, shortage of food and half-time in the schools are reasons for the inertia from which the children of today are suffering. It is not lazy-minded-ness, it is an affliction.” SAVE APPLE BLOSSOMS Bn United Press , WASHINGTON, March 11.—With the fruit budding season not far off the Agricultural Department advises persons who use apple blossoms as bouquet decorations not to strip these fruit trees of their foliage.
