New York.--Pedestrians along try roads and those who walk In the streets at night la preference to Ming the sidewalks can contribute materially toward the re (taction of automobile accidents by walking en the left aide of the road, facing oncoming traffic, according to D. H. l^wis, acting executive chairman of the American Automobile association. "Courtesy on the part of the aetosnoblle driver demands the use ot dimmed lights at night,'* said Mr. "and this factor, while It cmtributes to the safety of passing motorists, makes It exceedingly difficult for the automobile driver to see a pedestrian walking along the edge of the road in the same direction the car Is traveling. This difficulty Is increased If the pedestrian happens to be weait Ing dark clothing; The result Is that the driver Is practically on top of the pedestrian before the latter becomes visible. Warning to Pedestrian* "Walking on the left hand Site Of the road Is Just as good for the pedee trian and enables him to see the approaching automobile In time to step aside If the motorist dees not see him In time to swerve. "The pedestrian should remember that the rules of the road require the autolst to keep to the right and should contribute to the factor of safety by keeping to that side of the road which best enables him to escape the oncoming car ahd especially the occasional speed fiend or fllwerboob,' who cares nothing for consequences and Bpeeds regardless of the rights of others, for It has been truly said that whether you were in the right or not does not matter after you are In the bands of the undertaker."

Just Fines by Small Town Authorities Who Prey en Highway Tourists. - Minneapolis, Minn.--Tourists, especially those from other states than Minnesota, will not be the prey of overtealous authorities In the small towns of Minnesota, who are rigidly enforcing local traffic codes with: a zest, bent upon enhancing their own salaries or enriching the coffers of the village, if a movement stsrted smong several towns continues to spread. Vigilance committees, composed of residents of the communities, hsve been formed, which the tourist who has been haled into court may depend on for fair, reasonable treatment. These committees will see that too rapid Justice will not engulf the Innocent, especlally when the motorist happens to be a tourist from outside the state, and therefore expectedly ignorant of the traffic laws In that locality. With the tourist Industry developing by rapid strides In Minnesota, tbe action of tbe small town officers in strictly enforcing petty Infractions was seen ss a possible deterrent and menacing factor to Its progress, according to Perry S. Williams, manager of the Minneapolis Journal travel and resort bureau, who was Instrumental In organising the first vigtlsnce committee. "The trouble spparently threatened as a result of the fsct that st many points both the constables and deputies making tbe arrests snd the court officer before whom the alleged offenders must appear profited with the assessment of the fine," Mr. Wiillsms said. "Part of the work of the vigilance groups will be to correct this srrangement where it exists. Efforts will he made to place such officers on a definite snd Increesed salary birsfs. Also It Is planned io have moneys procured from fines placed In road fundi to help along the general work of bettering the state highway conditions." Communities lying along the state highway leading to and around Mllle Lacs lake, on trunk highway No. 18, were (list to organize the "vigilantes." Princeton led the way with the organization of a highway vigilance commit tee and similur groups are being formed at Onamia, Mllnca and lUpi Indian Relics Found.
