Mfm.; Buffalo, N. Y — Expert Discusses Traffic Problem and Preesnts Views on Solving Prob lems Before Public. Around Athens With Col. T. Larry Gantt Most accidents to pedestrians o<x-ur at the erodings, yet we in sist on educating the public against jaywalking. This is the tenor of the argu ment for safer crossings in crowd- tlV€ , tow ed sections of cities, presented by Ewart Williams Hobbs in the Na tional Safety News for July. At the same time Hobbs presents a possible solution to this impor tant phase of the traffic problem. It isn’t fair, he says, to urge the pedestrian to cross only at in tersections while these are the most hazardous spots. “If we wish to keep him off that portion of the highway between intersec tions," he adds/ “we must make the intersections attractive to him.” We nre not doing this, Hobbs maintains. We have traffic offi cers at crossings—“who tempor arily block traffic, making it move in waves like n many-footed caterpillar on a still summer's her Warranty Deed dated Jn . v -” We hav *? buttons, bumpers * or mushrooms which can easily be straddled by reckless drivers.

THE GYRATORY SYSTEM OF TRAFFIC. all sorts of stanchions to guide motor traffic. But they do not prevent acci dents to pedestrians! Neither does moral suasion, or any sort of education, declares Hobbs. PHYSICAL PREVENTION “Tho general principle to observed in the protection of the pedestrian is physical prevention, rather than moral suasion,” hr says. “We will reall* get no where until street erasings an equipped with honest-to-guodnes: physical safety appliances. And we ought not to be affaid to e* jwriihent a little * " ' In trying to decide on a effi cient system for controPing traf fic, Hobbs • considers 1 two method* One is what he colls the gyratory system, by which the traffic swings about a central pivot or circular park. “It.enters the pro* cession and leaves it, and does not cross immediately,” he explains. Hut there’s a serious objection to this plan. “The traffic keeps moving, which is good for the traffic, but not so good for the pedestrian. The gyratory system also requires el bow room, which can ill be spared in a big business section.*’ NOW.

But these barriers must be “of sufficient width to insure stabil ity, height to prevent straddling and lowness to prevent conceal ment of small objects such as children.” NARROW STREETS Also, shaped long and rather high, their contour prevent* a di rect and destructive crash. And, most important, “they give a less confusing line of traffic and af ford safety to pedestrians half way across the street.” Such barriers would practically divide a wide road into two nar row streets. And the narrow street, argues Hobbs, is the satost. • “An experienced traffic officer will tell you that, generally spend ing, fewer accidents occur on nat- streets than on brood ones. The reason is that automobile traffic is flexible. An automobile can circle around n street car, cut across, move in and out, perform all srots of exciting contortions on a wide street. “Where there isn’t room for it to perform, you have some idea where it is go»ng, and can keep out of its way. You know where it* ‘way’ is going to be. There is some certainty about it* direc- tion.” ONION SETS 15c Quart; 50c Gallon Just received shipment White MR.

Illegal, corrupt and contrary to public policy.” Tho committee formulated a res olution which sustains Latham's charges and severely condemns the newly appointed judge and recom mends the ndoption of the resolu tion in tho special mooting ot the association to be held at the court house Friday morning. The charges against Judge How ard were made by Edgar Latham, prominent Atlanta attorney,, who claimed that Judge Howard had npp^oached him with a proposition to Influence Latham's appointment as solicitor general of the circuit provided Latham would consent to a division of fees. Latham, he said, emphatically declined to enter into the alleged agreement and brought theTmatter to the attention of Gov ernor Clifford Walker only a short time before the appointment of a udge was mndo. Tho charges were then referred to the grievance ocmtnitteo of the bar association and in tho public hearing by that committee last Friday, Latham’s charges were sustained and the findings submitted to the execu tive committee for consideration nnd recommendation. end of July indications point ed to one of the best crops of cotton ever produced, taking Into consideration tho acreage and lack of perfect stands. Fruiting was heavy and boll weevil damage was practical ly nothing during July. Conditions that have prevailed (luring the last three weeks have kept the prospects of cotton pro duction on the see-saw—now up now down until at the present time It looks as though the production per acre may be either of two things—if the rutny weather con- tlnues and farmers lose heart In fighting tho weevil, the produc tion may be as small as last year, and on the other hand if the boll weevil fight continues and good weather comes along, the produc tion may be twice that of last year. It can safely be stated that we are today at the turning point In this year’s cotton crop and the factors are weather and boll wee vils. Tho fighting of the boll wee vil Is under human control and should be continued for two weeks The weather will be what it will be of course. The corn crop has profletd great ly by the rain* or the last three weeks and likewise has peavlne hay. alfalfa and pastures, we will hav* better production of these crops than due. A very pleasing development In the forming of Clarke county has been the pro gress made In 4|odu|lng home supplies of which much has been said and little accomplished dur ing the last throe or four decades The tyroltry production of the county Is steadily Increasing nnd during the coming season there will probably be enough poultry and eggs to supply one-fourth of the needs of the county; form erly the supply was less q toth. Vegetables will be produced In abundance next season from present indications. In ftcl there are prospects of having more than the local demand will use and out side markets will be needed.

In event the association adopts the resolution a “moral victory” will have been won by those who have preased the charges.
