missioner of Agriculture has justified the
wisdom of his selection. And the money
appropriated for the schools, for forestry
and for increasing the pay of various offi

One, In particular, deserves both atten

It Is the total lack of the most ordinary
conveniences for comfort and privacy where
women serving en n jury nre compelled te
lemnln out overnight in the discharge of
their duty as citizens.
In the vast majority of rural courthouses
accommodations for men jurors, hung up
from dark till dawn, nre of the most primi
tive character.
They are forced te doze en chairs, sleep
en the fleer, or snatch u few winks stretched
out en u tabic.
The object seems te be te make their
period of jury duty as barren of comfort ns
possible.
Presuninbly, the scheme is te hurry their
deliberations and compel xerdlct in the
shortest space of time.
The idea is monstrous.

NOW MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks ll itli Thinking Philadelphians en Subjects They
Knew Best
DAVID KIRSCHBAUM
On Philadelphia's Traffic Problems
THERE arc three condole things which
must be done if the traffic problems of
Philadelphia nre te he satisfactorily solved,
ai cording te David Kirsehbnum, one of the
most profound students of this complicated
question in the city.
"First of all." said Mr. Kirsehbnum.
"there should b- no parking allowed en
Chest nut or Walnut sircet between Seventh
find Klghteenth streets, between the hours
of S:,'!0 A. M. and 0 P. M. Next, a co
ordinated system of electric semaphores
en ltread street north nud south of the
City Hall must be Installed: and. third, all
turns should be eliminated at l'rend and
Chestnut. Rread ami Walnut, Twelfth and
Muikcr and five or six ether equally danger
ous points.
Three Different Phases
"The subject of street traffic must be
divided Inte three jihases; First, things
which can be done immediately without any
legislation or expendituie of meney: second,
things which can be done with little legisla
tion and a small expenditure of money, and
third, these things of a larger natuie which
require considerable legislation, the expendi
ture of a considerable sum of money and a
carefully engineiietl program in order te
meet the demnnds of the Sesqui-Centennial
and the etlier problems of the futtiic.
"Confining eurselws te ihe present
emergency that is. t lie need for immediate
lelief In a few highly congested sections
the amended Yen Tagen ordinance is a step
forward, but the step Is nel long enough nor
the xlewpeint sufficiently comprehensive.
"If Philadelphia is te get immediate relief
from the inesL pressing of her traffic evils,
some of ihe pmUsietis. of that ordinance
must be changed. Fer instance, the one
hour parking puwlege in the shopping dis
tricts of Chestnut and Walnut streets, while
giving a convenience te a comparatively few
persons, would imeuvenlence n great many
mere, for ii will unquestionably cause even
greater congestion both le meters nnd street
ears than we arc new experiencing.
Fifteen Minutes Suggested
"There should be absolutely no parking en
these streets between Seventh and Lightcetith
streets between the hours of S:!tO A. M. nnd
(1 P. M. If. htiwcwr, there must be some
yielding te pressure, l l us confine that park
ing le fifteen minutes at the most.
"Anether serious objictien is the irservn-
tlen of enlj fin iv feel for the aulval and
departure of automobiles in the above shop
ping dlbtrict. lr is easy te see what will
happen when there' nie three, four or live
cars trying te use this space al once, The
middle of the slieet will be blocked, hecausn
of the many siren cais buck of tltcpe meters.
The minimum permitted should be eight;
feet.
"The prevision that a iliiver who wishes
te change his direction or te step must
signify his Intention ten fed before tbe point
is reached is ridiculously inadequate. The
average length of n motorcar Is thirteen
feel. Going at ten or twelve miles nn hour,
one can see that the minimum length should
be fifty feet ami really should be 100 feel
when the driver should indicate a change of
direction or a wish te step. Going nine miles
an hour an automobile travels eighteen and
two-thirds feet n second, or 800 feet a
minute, almost two oily blocks, nnd the pro
posed ordinance allows len feet for a change.
Cemment en this .s superfluous
Relief en ltread .Street
"Rut there is absolutely no piovisieu ier
the relief of the i (ingestion en Rread street.
Superintendent Mills has made a curpful
study of the subject, and se have n number
of our committees In the Chamber of Com
merce, and nil knew that the sjstcm em em
plejed se successfully en Fifth avenue. In
New Yerk Is absolutely ninetlcnhle nnd
can be used in Philadelphia. Thai system,
or something like it must be used if we are
te have any relief.
"The situation today en Rread street is
deplorable. As an illustration, coining south
or going north en Rrend street when truffle
Is most congested, traffic is held up every
block und sometimes at the half-blocks, such
as ut Fall-mount iivenueniul again at Rldgu
avenue. New, with Weed, Cherry nnd n
number of ether miner streets used ns one ene
way traffic streets for the purpose of relieving
the next parallel main street, is It net easy te
see that traffic en Rread street will he further
interrupted because of mew frequent inter
sections? 'In tome cities in the TTest no truffle i.

such times ns traffic is going tlneiigh and
then vehicles may only enter tbe main streets
te join the traffic: they may net cress. New
a word ns le the lack of co-operation between
the various branches of the police service.
We have been given te understand by Super
intendent Mills that patrolmen de net make
geed traffic officers and vice versa. Therefore,
ihev are net walled upon te repeit every
violation of the lnw, even though the thing
happens, under their very eyes,
i
An Auxiliary Sen ice
"If such a condition is te continue, then
(he system employed with such marked suc
cess in some of (he huge cities of the Middle
West, notably Cleveland. Detroit nnd Cin
cinnati, should be used bete. This is an
auxiliary committee of tiOO citizens of the
highest tjpe, who net only have a deep
Interest in the subject bur nie willing te
inconvenience themselves te a great extent
In order te assist the public welfare.
"A great majority of the serious automo autemo autome
bile accidents de net occur in the congested
districts- there is tee much supervision there.
The speed fiends, net seeing a blueceal in
sight in ihe less-frefjuented streets, drive
recklessly in every diicctien. paying little or
no lieed le the law as regards one-way
streets, ihe speed limit, anil every ether
automobile font tire which Is the subject of
legal regulations. The icsult is seen In Hie
huge accident list every dnj .
"'nie ps.wholegioai value of such a coin
mill ee as the Western cities have found le be
se efficacious would be very great and have
a most beneficial effect in Philadelphia, be
cause gradually the speed fiends would begin
te learn that they were being watched and
reported by men who have no selfish Interest .
and who will inconvenience themselves
sufficiently te appear in the iraffic.i eurt, if
need be. te give the necessary evidence te
convict them in tbe event of serious neci
Mlents and penalize them with fines or ether
punishments for iufrarllnns of the law or for
accidents of a miner natuie.
'Ihe Semaphore System
"There si ems te be a difference of opinion
as te the semaphore system. Mr. von Tagen
says that (lie co-erdinated electric svstein
is impracticable In Philadelphia, 'while
Superintendent Mills says that It is abso
lutely practicable en Rrend street. Practic
ally nil these who have made u study of the
whole subject agree with the superintendent.
"The nciessiiy for this system or some seme
