"Order of the Roads" Is Safety Move in England "Many extreme measures have been suggested for making roads safe, the feeling being that safety, by whatever means attained, is worth the cost," says a statement issued by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, "but it remains for staid, dignifi- ed, conservative England to approach the problem on the basis of chivalry. Information reaches us that over there an 'Order of the Roads' is being form- ed. To receive the decoration accorded by this new order, one must have driven 10,000 miles within three years without accident or arrest for traffic violation, "Some time ago the motor club asked for letters from motorists who had driven 10,000 miles or more with- out an accident, and received hundreds of letters from motorists who had driven ten, twenty, fifty, and even a hundred thousand miles without an accident of any kind. The volume of letters that poured into the club in response to this request shows that motorists have a great amount of pride in being able to drive without even having a scratched fender. The large number of those who had driven great distances without accident of any kind indicates that the old desire to be known as a speed artist, which was manifested in the early days of motor- ing, has been supplanted by the desire to be known as a good driver, and as a motorist who never has accidents," declares Mr. Hayes. 801 'Dempster St. NOW RADIO -- VICTROLA EXPERT NORTH SERVICE PIANO TUNING BECKER'S MUSIC SHOP "Home of Harmony" University 1640 Con'tinu mer merchandise. 507 Davis ST., EVANSTON Drastic learance- Dresses--Suits--Ensembles | At Practically, Cost W| The backward spring weather forces us to sacrifice our entire spring stock.
