AMERICAN ENGINEERS OFFER
PLAN FOR TRAFFIC SYSTEM.
Street signals, and markings will
be the same in all the cities of the
United States, and confusion in traf-
fic control will be wiped out, if rec-
ommendations in a report by the
American Engineering Council are
carried out, it was announced today
by A. W. Berresford, President of the
Council.
Motorists will be assured of stand-
ards as a result of a nationwide sur-
vey, in which conditions in more than
100 cities, with a population in excess
of 85,000,000 were exhaustively inves-
tigated, according to Berresford.
Recognizing the wide variation both
in type of signs, signals and markings
and in their meaning, Mr. Berresford
said, the American Engineering Coun-
cil, working with the Hoover confer-
ence on street and highway safety,
aims to eliminate the maze of colors,
shapes and meanings that has been
attached to every conceivable acces-
sory for the regulation of traffic.
The State of New Jersey has writ-
ten part of these recommendations a
into a uniform state law now before
the Legislature, which it is expected,
will be enacted during the present
session.
Almost every motorist has had the
experience of driving through several
cities on a single day’s trip finding
different signal systems in each. He
has found that these different sys-
tems, with different light arrange-
ments and in different locations at the
crossings, have actually meant differ-
ent things for the same color light.
In driving about the country, mo-
torists will find green-yellow-red sys-
tems, in which the yellow means that
all traffic is to be halted and pedes-
trians are to go, in which a five-sec-
ond cautionary or warning interval is
indicated, in which only right or left
hand turns can be made, or in which
he will also have to wait for a bell to
ring before proceeding further.
When the green comes on he is
doubtlessly as badly confused because
when he warts to turn to the left in
Washington, he must first pull over
to the right, and wait for the light to
change, whereas in the next large
city he comes to, Baltimore, for ex-
ample, if he wishes to turn left on
the green light he pulls over to the
left hand side of the street and then
weaves through oncoming traffic.
His problem would be expected to
be solved when the red comes on, and
he would doubtless stop, but in some
places, like Atlantic City, red actual-
ly means ‘Go’ for all who wish to turn
to the right at intersections. In at
least one other city he will find a
single light that will come on and
demand that he stop, when he can
proceed the red light simply goes off.
Who has not driven from city to
city to find, red, yellow, green, white,
blue and other colored signs in every
conceivable shade used in traffic con-
trol. Shapes as numerous as colors,
and messages of greater variety and
intent may be found on the signs.
Pavement markings are less nu-
merous in color and word arrange-
ment and location, but they are nev-
ertheless widely diversified in various
cities.
_ All of this the American Engineer-
ing Council has aimed to correct by
standards which, it is intended shall
to municipal officials, and to manufac-
turers of the various products—a re:
public service if the recommendations
can be carried into effect.
The work of the American. Engi-
neering Council’s committee on street
signs, signals and markings has been
under the direction of W. B. Powell,
of Buffalo, N. Y., traffic engineer of
Baltimore, serving as chairman, and
A. C. Oliphant, of Washington, D. C.,
executive secretary.
Dame Ellen Terry, now in her 80th
year, sent a Christmas message of
cheer to 1200 blind folk at a party

DID YOU EVER SING
“SWEET ADELINE?”
In his “Gothan Day by Day” Ross
Duff Mrytock has the following to say
about a song that nearly every crowd
of boys who think they can sing have
tried to murder at one time or anoth-
er.
The other afternoon as I talked
with Harry Armstrong, who wrote the
music for “Sweet Adeline,” Dick Ger-
ard, author of the words, happened
in. A few minutes later the middle-
aged pair, to prove that they had lost
none of their pristine vocal vigor,
sang the song that has been produc-
tive of more discords than any words
set to music in the last quarler cen-
tury. It was a treat, indeed, to hear
“Sweet Adeline” sung by its authors,
and only recently I heard Charles K.
Harris sing and play his famous “Af-
ter the Ball.”
After more than twenty years, dur-
ing which each went his separate way,
the creators of “Sweet Adelthe” got
together a short time ago and wrote
“Sweet Elaine.” Gerard again han-
dled the words and Armstrong the
music. While they are hopeful of its
success, they never expect it to reach
the popularity of “Sweet Adeline.”
But, for that matter, they never
dreamed that the piece they wrote to-
gether in the back room of a Green-
wich Village cafe in 1903 would be-
come a favorite song of the Nation.
If they had, they would not have
“muffed” the fortune that awaited
them. Armstrong sold his interest
for $1000, and Gerard, sticking for a
bit more, finally gave up his rights
for $3000. If they had held on—well,
they didn’t, and the million or more
that the song has earned went to
other pockets.
Dick Gerard lost interest in pro-
fessional song-writing shortly after
selling his part of ‘Sweet Adeline”
and entered the postoffice service, in
which service he has been ever since,
and will likely remain unless “Sweet
Elaine” takes him to the financial pin-
nacles. Harry Armstrong continued
with music and wrote a number of
songs that “went over.” Among theni
were “Can’t You See I'm Lonely?”
“I Love My Wife, but, Oh, You Kid,”
land one he wrote for the late Nora
Bayes, “Follow the Crowd on Sun-
day.” As he went through his col-
lection of music he brought to light
one of the efforts of Mayor Jimmy
Walker, entitled “Good-by, Eyes of
Blue,” and credited to Jay J. Walker.
Mr. Armstrong explained that in his
song-writing days the mayor of New
York hid himself behind the pseudo-
nym of “Jay J. Walker.”
“Song-writing is not what it used
to be,” said Mr. Armstrong, “and the
boys of Tin-Pan Alley are having a
hard time of it. The raido and the au-
tomobile are:likely responsible for the
slump in the song business. The ra-
dio provides people with all the musie
they seem to want, and now that ev-
ery one has an automobile, the parlor
parties when the piano was the big
entertainment have gone out of
vogue. The songs that make a hit on
Broadway do not go in the smaller
places, where real sentiment still ex-
ists. That is somewhat demonstrat-
ed by the calls for ‘Sweet Elaifie,
which come mostly from the little
places out in the ‘sticks.’ The quar-
tets are still busy out in those parts.”
Wider Highways.
Wider roads are everywhere in de-
mand. Increased traffic on our public
highways makes wider roads a prime
! essential, and public officials who fail
to take this fact inte the reckoning
‘make a mistake.
According to a writer in the Mem-
{ phis Commercial Appeal, “road wid-
ening has become a definite policy in
several States in which the automo-
bile registration is kigh;” one of these
States has been adding strips of pav-
ing from three to six feet to some of
its roads; another is placing along its
roads lateral extensions of from
twelve to eighteen feet, and these
widening policies are particularly to
be noted in metropelitan areas around
some of the larger and more import-
ant cities of the country. Narrow
roads do not take care of the traffic
and besides they are more dangerous
than roads of wider types.
Road improvement programs in
Australia during the last few years
have caused a great increase in as-
phalt importation. During the fiscal
year 1926-27 the total was almost 100
per cent higher than in the previous
year.
The United States has surpassed
the world in the matter of building
good roads. We have many isolated
and relatively unimportant highways
that are far superior to old-world
main arteries of travel. Our great
number of automobiles is directly
traceable to the prevalence of good
roads.
Australia is to be complimented on
her asphalt importations and her road
building program. It is an invest-
ment that pays huge dividends, es-
pecially the improvement of feeder
roads to main highways.
Discovered Seedless Huckleberries.
A six-acre box huckleberry patch,
claimed to be the first discovered in
the world and one of the few in ex-
istence today, becomes the property
of the State through the gift of C. C.
Hoverter and Howard Scholl, Millers-
town lumbermen. The patch, situated
in the Soule woods near New Bloom-
field, was discovered in 1846 by a
professor of Dickinson College, who
reported his finding to Asa Gray, a
noted American botanist. The plant,
extremely rare, has been a source of
interest for botanists for some time.
A peculiar feature is that, although it
blooms freely and bears fruit, there
are no seedlings. Scientists are at a
loss to explain its origin, and some
believe it to be a remnant of the pre-
glacial period. Hoverter and Scholl
recently sold the surrounding terri-
tory but kept the patch, which, in or-
der to preserve, they donated to the
State. It will be known as the Box
Huckleberry State Forest Reservation
and will be under the jurisdiction of
the Department of Forests and Wat-
ers.

YARD CLEANING URGED
WITH HOUSECLEANING,
Housewives will soon be in the
throes of spring housecleaning. And
on the principle that cleanliness is
next to Godliness, the logic of this ac-
tivity is entirely obvious,” says Dr.
Theodore B. Appel, secretary of the
department of health.
What frequently is not appreciated,
however, is that the removal of dust
and dirt that has accumulated dur-
ing the winter season, in spite of
semi-weekly brushings, are not the
only things to cause concern at this
particular season of the year.
For example, there are the outside
premises to consider. Breeding time
for the fly and the mosquito is about
here and yards full of rubbish and tin
cans half filled with rain water are
most inviting spots for the propaga-
tion of insect life.
The most sensible time to swat the
fly and the mosquito is before they
are actually in being. And the most
efficient manner to accomplish this is
to eliminate in your yards or on your
grounds any conditions that lend
themselves readily to their breeding.
Rural dwellers especially need to
guard against these pests. The adop-
tion of sanitary measures for out-
side conveniences is not only exceed-
ingly practical but most inexpensive.
A generous sprinkling of lime will
prove most effective. -
When one considers the habit of the
fly it does not take any stretch of the
imagination to realize that it is the
dirtiest of insects coming in contact
with human beings. It propagates
in filth, it grows in filth and glorifies
in filth. With its legs covered with
infected material it buzzes innocent-
ly into the house, crawls over exposed
food and milk and thus is likely to do
untold damage not only to infants
but to grown-ups also.
The mosquito too finds itself fre-
quently in unpleasant places and then
chooses to become not only tantaliz-
ing but actually dangerous through
its sting.
While therefore it is an excellent
idea to swat all the flies that cross
one’s path and smash mosquitoes al-
so, the removal of breeding spots in
the first instance is much more effec-
tive and decidedly more practical.
Now is the time not only to get the
winter's accumulation of dust and
dirt out of the home but the time to
make it hard for dirt in the form of
flies and mosquitoes to get into the
house. Screens, fly-swatters and mos-
quito smashers are not enough. You
must clean up—and now is the time
to do it both inside and out!”
Pedestrains Always have the Right
of Way.
Jay-walking indulged in with rea-
sonable care, and the rights of motor-
ists have been placed secondary to
those of pedestrians by the United
States Supreme Court, which ruled
recently that a man struck by an au-
to while crossing the street, not at
a cross-walk, was entitled to collect
damages.
The court’s decision clearly out-
lines the respective duties of both
pedestrian and motorist, with the
former getting the right of way, the-
oretically at least. The specific case
was that of a man injured while cross-
ing two streets, not at a cross-walk
and who sued for $15,000. The defend-
ant was an express company and the
plaintiff won a verdict for the whole
amount. The company appealed to
the United States Supreme Court on
the ground the cross-walk was for
the use of pedestrians and if a pede-
strian used any other part of the
street, he did so at his own risk.
The Supreme Court, however, took
the opposite view; namely, that mo-
torists used the highways at their
own risk. The verdict brought the
following comment from the highest
tribunal.
“The streets belong to the public;
pedestrians have the right to walk on
any part of the street or roadway
and the right cannot be taken away.
Driving a car is a privilege that may
be revoked at any time; therefore, it
becomes incumbent on the driver of
an automobile to see to it that he
does not strike the pedestrian.
“The appeal is dismissed and the
verdict against the express company
is sustained with interest and cost.”
Thomas F. Crean of Brooklyn, N.
Y., called the attention of the public
to this case in a letter to the New
York Herald-Tribune in defense of
the rights of pedestrians and in criti-
cism of drivers who feel the rights of
pedestrians are secondary and that
all that is necessary for them to do
is “blow the horn, step on the gas
and go ahead.”
As a result of this adverse decision
Mr. Crean points out, the express
company put a tablet near the driv-
er’s seat on all of its trucks, reading
as follows:
“Safety first. Pedestrians have the
right of way. In case of doubt—stop.
Take no chance on injuring any one.”

See U. S. to Study the Present, Says
Visitor,
Washinton.—If you are curious
about the pact, travel in Europe. But
if you would learn of the present and
future, tour the United States from
coast to coast. That is the lesson
which Ambassador Pueyrredon of Ar-
gentina says he learned during a 10,-
000-mile automobile trip across the
country.
“] saw man yet involved in con-
quering nature,” Mr. Pueyrredon ex-
plained. “It made me realize the end-
less effort of the American people, es-
pecially in the agricultural sections.
Argentine, a similar country, has
much to learn from our methods.
“There is interest everywhere in
conserving your natural resources.
Unnecessary exploitation of nature is
discouraged. Even the animals are
protected by signs, ‘Shoot only with
your camera.’
“One unusual and rather pleasant
observation 1 made,” he remarked
“was the number of young people in
the small towns drinking milk. On
every table milk instead of wine.”
