TWO PESTS IN TRAFFIC In addttton, htghly specialized and un~oach ce!l~ NEWS } Self Appointed "Cop" and BellClanging Motornaan Annoying Says C. M. Hayes of C. M. C. "Two well-known pests on our streets, from which every motorist prays to be delivered. are the selfappointed traffic officers and the bellclanging motormen," according to Charles M. Hayes of Winnetka, President of the Chicago Motor club. "The first type, with his 'What's the matter with you? . Don't you know enough to stop at a street car track?' is well known. There is seldom time to remind the amateur traffic cop that there is no Ia\\' or ordinance covering the stopping of automobiles at street car tracks, nor to explain that the law of the state gi,·es the right of way to the car on the right. "Motormen, in many instances, add to the noise ·and coufusion of the city, and accomplish nothing, by their frantic clanging of the bell. A motorist driving along some busy street, with · cars ahead of him for blocks. and with cars packed tightly along . the curb. can do nothing but follow traffic . 'Vhere does the motor man expect to go ?-and yet that infernal clanging · goes on block · after block. Sheer stupidity; nothing more. "The motorman. too, has his troubles with the driver of the lumbering vehicle that could turn out · but refuses to do so. Drivers of. passenger cars seldom offend in this respect. "A better understanding of motoring ·conditions, of the problems of other drivers. makes us more courteous in our dealings with one another," Mr . Hayes points out. "Malice or downright cussedness has little part in the problem; a lack of motoring manners is simply a lack of knowledge of conditions, and this is proved by considering the veteran driver. Invariably he is a courteous driver." having a crankshaft supported by seven bearings, the new 3 ton truck is featured by four speed heavy duty transmission and four wheel Lockheed usual. needs. are supplied by the com- hydraulic internal expanding brakes. pany s spectal equipment division.

Miles McDonald,· Evanston and Wilmette Dodge dealer.
