s second--class matter October 18, 1916, at the office at j'?u-mfih.(&-furmuxms.aim."xmmm. y .} ~__ > THE PEDESTRIAN .\ There is real need of a better understanding of the rights of _ pedestrians on public thoroughfares. As matters stand, even « eareful--drivers of automobiles seldom give the right of way . to pedestrians except where thore are signals, and at street ' intersections where policemen are on duty. When the sema-- \Phore turns cars dash forward and make right or left turns ' though the street may be filled with pedestrians released from 'the curb by the "go" sign or caught in the middle of the road-- way when the signal changes. On country roads or anregulated M it is taken as a matter of course by many that the pedestrian must yield to vehicular traffic. --~The situation is not due to a disposition to recklessness or to be indifferent to the rights of others, but the driver bf a fast--moving vehicle proceeds on the assumption that it is egsier for people on foot to stop or jump out of the way than it is to stop a vehiicle. Usually the type of motorist who expects the pedestrian to give him the right of way makes the sort of pedestrian who demands vehicular traffic halt while he crosses the street. °© + Rare but admirable is the truck or automobile driver who values the time of the street-cr(fising pedestrian above his own, and not less rare and admirable is the pedestrian who does not believe in his "divine right" to the streets. -- A NEW LOCOMOTIVE A new kind of locomotive is in use in the yards of the Chicago & Northwestern ra\ilwuy at Chicago, demonstrating the golution of many of the problems of railroad terminal switch-- ing. It is a 110 ton storage battery electric switching locomo-- tive, the largest of its kind ever manufactured in America. Railroad men will watch with interest the trial period of this new 'locomotive. Even to the layman it seems to have tremendous possibilities that would make it an invaluable adjunt to our railroad systems: tormney Smith dispatched a letter to the C. M. & St. P. railroad com-- mndc-ndiu forthwith action ing to instailation of gates to replace those out of commigsion for more than two weeks at the danfi- ous 'Rondout grade crossing. e company, apparently indifferent to the menace that improperly guard-- ed 'crossing "is to lives _ of hundreds who must daily negotiate its tulz; seems to prefer chanc-- ing its ility to affording proper protection. Perhaps its experience with Coroner's juries in Lake coun-- ty wartrants its complacency and a conviction it is better economy to ray damages mitigated by Coroner's jury verdicts than pay proper gate, électric signal and watchman main-- tenance at the Rondout death trap. Thé engine is designed to be used during the day and re-- charged during the night. Thus it gives the cleanliness, the flexibility and the quietness of electric operation without the necessity of electrifying the right of way itscif. This does away with third rails, overhead trolleys and the danger that attends such installations in a busy railroad yard. This locomotive, capable of pulling any freight train now moved in Chicago, contains the largest storage battery ever built for this purpose. It weighs more than 39 tons, which is equivalent to 1,579 radio batteries of six volts each, and con-- tains enough power to crank 1,600 automobiles simultaneously. However, public temper, aroused by deaths and accidents in appalling numbers, bodes ill for those directly and indirectly responsible, and Cor-- ener's juries are indirectly respon-- sible in a degree easily determined by their failure to emphasize rail-- road company liability and point out palpable 'evasion of railroad re-- sponsibility for a great majority of A. suedession of "hard boiled" eonducting inquiries follow-- crossing deaths in this eounty would force precautionary measures at hands of the railroads ANNOUNCEMENT Charles Knutsen ALONG THE CURBSTONES Wednesday, Nov. 24 KEYSTONE PRINTING SERVICE, I wish to announce that my new meat market at 624 North Milwau-- kee Avenue will open for business A full line of choice meats for your Thanksgiving dinner. i Save money on good meats. ¥Sae C 7100 47 9000 v;T' 1' w FRANK H.
