MOSHER, Editor and Manager MOTOR VEHICLE LAW CHANGES Investigators for the Chicago Motor Qah report that many motorists are not yet aware of the changes in the motor vehicle act that went into effect July 1, and that many violations are oceuring because of ignorance of the new laws. The provision of tiie motor vehicle act that prohibits the use of gongs, bells or whistles on any motor vehicle but police and fire apparatus, went into effect July 1. The investigators report many trucks and even passenger cars operating witth whistles. It is also reported that the law prohiMttag the use of red or green tight* shotting in a forward position on mo-! tor vehicles is being violated. j Hprse drawn vehicles are still found! in the country without lights, and pedes trains are still walking on concrete roads with traffic instead of against it, as provided for by law. Continuing their chock on the lest frequent country roads the dub investigators found that the drivers having the wider road shoulder to their right do not always obey the law which provides that they shall give way to the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction «n whose right is the narrower road shoulder. They found cars standing on roads, where there was not room for two. ether vehicles to pass safely.
