City Engineer Advocates Stricter Traffic Laws; Would Keep Trucks Off Main Streets

Mrs. Howard Wilcox was hostess for a 12 o'clock dinner yesterday at her home. In celebration of her hus

band's birthday anniversary. The table was attractively appointed In yellow and brown. During the dinner the approaching marriage of Miss Mary Kiing and Walter Jacobs was announced. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wilcox, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Wilcox and little daughter Vera, Mr. and Mrs. James Whitacre, Mrs. Ella Jacobs, Mis3 Mary Kring, Miss Garnet Ashinger, Miss Mildred Jacobs, Walker Jacobs, Albert Runyan and Chester Harter. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kolp will give their regular dance Tuesday evening at Jackson park. Harry Frankel will sing during the evening.

One of the most perplexing prob-' lems which confront city authorities in most cities today is the proper regulation of street traffic. Since the advent of the automobile and -motor truck, traffic conditions have been revolutionized on our thoroughfares. Where formerly a few slow moving vehicles passed, there

are now vast numbers of fast moving automobiles that are a dense blockade on a few minutes interruption of travel. Regulated traffic, makes for convenience, safety and ultimate economy, and we may hope for further intelligent regulations. Regulating parking, traffic at street Intersections, denning right of way streets and the routing of certain classified traffic are the vital points on which hinge the Buccess of regulated traffic. . City Has Narrow Street Richmond is handicapped by having comparitively narrow streets, so is consequently more Interested in having some parking regulations than a city like Dayton or Indianapolis where the pavements are much wider. Future business streets should consequently be laid out much wider in the future. The present small radius of the curb corners is much too sharp and should be increased to from 12 to 16 feet radius. At the prominent street corners such as Main and 8th, the larger radiu3 turn is much more convenient for motor driven vehicles and provides more space where it is needed. Traffic regulation under police management is practically essential to the lives of pedestrians who have to cross

the path of fast moving vehicles, often

carelessly or brutally driven. This is not possible at all the cor

ners here on account of the city's fin

ances, but as a substitute, the city will

put "Keep to the Right" signs, similiar to the one at 5th and Main streets, at

the busiest corners. These signs will

be a great help, traffic necessarily

must slow up at them in order to make

the reauired sauare turn

A number of accidents are caused

by drivers cutting corners at high

speed. Drivers on turning corners

should remember to hold out their j

hand, this a simple signal yet is instrumental in preventing many accidents. Riaht-of-way Favored

Recently the board of works asked ocuncil to draw an ordinance defining certain streets on which drivers will have the right of way. These running east and west were recommended as the right of way streets. This law.

vent accidents, It would relieve the tension of persons driving on North and South streets.

Routing of certain classes of vehicles to certain prescribed streets seems opportune In Richmond. If trucks

hauling coal, lumber, furniture, or wa

gons hauling gravel .etc., used other Btrets besides our Uisiest ones It would relieve the congested condition on those streets considerably, thereby make the traffic which must necessarily use It much more convenient and safe. Restrictions are sometimes a general blessing and even of adventage to the Interests curbed.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23. The fashion among otherwise well-dressed women of going about in public minus stockings may be making headway In Paris and London -where the high, cost of women's hosiery is held responsible but tht first attempt to introduce the

mode in the best New York circles has come to grief. The test was made at the Hotel Plaza at the height of the afternoon tea rush. A good-looking woman enttred the hotel faultlessly attired except in the matter of stockings. Of these she had none. When the gorgeously uniformed doorman and the small army of bellhops saw her mount the steps, displaying a pair of low cut patent leathtr pumps, but no stockings, they shuddered, and knew not what to dp. In fact, nobody seemed to know Just what to do until the visitor had taken her seat at a table in the summer garden overlooking the Fifth avenue plaza. Bare legged youngsters were splashing in the basin of the Pulitzer memorial fountain outside but as the woman turned to place an order with a waiter she was told that the management was very sorry, but she would have

to leave the hotel. It was all done very quietly and there was no "scene," as the head bellhop put It. The woman seemed to understand that she was not wanted without stockings, and though she did not appear overjoyed, she made no fuss. She just left.
