BUSINESS TURNS TO COLLEGES IN HUNTFOR MEN Spring Starts Annual Search for Promising ‘New Blood/ Bn United. Press NEW YORK, March 15.—It’s the season for harvesting “bright young college men,” and corporation representatives are visiting colleges of the *ti>t and west, searching for seniiJhs to step into jobs in different tints of big business, after they are graduated this June. Experts of an impressive number of public utility and manufacturing organizations have their eyes on the young men about to be awarded their diplomas. In general, the technique of the growing industry of picking college men is about the same, although there 'is, for each corporation “scout,” a slightly different method of procedure. An example of how it is done may be obtained from W. C. Bowen personal director of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, who, ever since he was graduated from Yale university in 1919, has made his profession

SAFETY ZONE RULES DEFINED BY MOTOR CLUB Advise Motorists Not to Drive on Street Car Tracks. Safety zones extend from the white lines or pavement buttons to the first street* car rail, according to Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary-manager. The questions “What is a safety zone?” and “Is it legal for me to drive on the street car tracks?” have been asked the motor club legal department often recently, Stoops *said. Although there is a police regulation prohibiting driving in the car tracks, the club legal department

I Sp e the > Handsomer J*** Room j Swte and the [ famous “Hoover” ; olt Display } ° ur Windows! j

has decided it is not illegal to do so, he declared. “The safety zone” said Stoops, “is that part of the street set aside for street car or bus passengers. “According to our legal department the safety zone does not extend past the first rail from the curb. In other words the safety zone being designated for the purpose of allowing passengers to stand some place in safety while waiting for a street car it may be seen clearly that a person standing too close to the first rail or between the rails would be in no position of safety. “So it never was intended by law to prohibit the motorist from proceeding along the car tracks and it is perfectly legal to do so. It never is legal, however, to drive through a safety zone, that is )#between the white line and the first rail. Even if no one is in the safety zone it is still a place from which the motorist is barred forever. “While it is entirely legal to drive along the car tracks the Hoosier Motor Club in the interest of safety must deplore the practice.

many accidents have been caused! while driving along car tracks as | records of the Hoosier Motor Club' and the accident prevention bureau of the police department will show, j "There is a police order which prohibits motorists from driving along car tracks, which although ineffective, should be obeyed. Police orders are not jpade for the purpose of hampering motorists or meddling with their rights. They are made in the cause of safety and with many facts to warrant their existence. “The man who drives along the car tracks will find many dangers larking near the safety zones. A slippery rail, a skid and it is too late to avoid side-swiping persons standing in the safety zone. “The large majority of motorists make it a rule to drive always between the safety zone and the curb and they expect others to do the same. Safety zones usually are looted at corners and the motorist who drives along the car tracks often runs down other motorists

making left turns from the outside I of the safety zone. “Os course it seems impossible to obey all rules or laws to the letter. Along all our car line streets one will find delivery trucks and passenger cars illegally parked between the safety zone and the curb. The motorist, when he encounters this j condition must either stop, back up, j or run through the safety zone or| along the tracks and I have never j known any motorist to stop or back up. “Common sense applied to motor- j ing will solve many difficulties and j the motorist forced to the car rails j should do so with caution. And the j motorist who rides the car rails in preference to other portions of the street, although he has no serious accidents, will find causes for sorrow in the fact that rough edges of the car rails have materially shortened the life of his tires.” According to some eye specialists, within the next fifty years, if not sooner, eight people out of every ten 1 will be wearing spectacles.
