Declaring that better lighting of

Dunwoody presented the thought that
improved facilities are the chief solu-

address before .the. America Construc-
tion council in.: St. Louis.
"Too n'iuch emphasis has been plac-
ed on regulation," said Colonel Dun-
woody, who represented the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce at
this meeting, "and not.enough thought
has been given to methods- for accom-
modating streets to modern. needs...
"The attempt to handle traffic sole-
ly by means of regulation resembles

WINTER CALLS FOR SLOWER
MOTORING
Charles M. Hayes, president of the
Chicago Motor Club, in a communica-
tion forwarded to the Motor League,
declares: "In 'order tp make Winter
driving safe motorists should read-
just
their schedules on regular trips.
More tinfe should be allowed for trav-
el, between home, and the officeia the
store, - shop or plant."
Sometimes that even the "manifest-
ly obvious" needs to be said emphati-
cally by some one before it is at all
generally appreciated. Possibly this
is because habit governs the actions
of most people rather than thought.
That; people, motorists and pedes-
trians alike, do not adjust their move-
ments with regard to circumstances,
including weather and road conditions
—circumstances which generally are
bad in the late fall, winter and early
spring is reflected by our mounting
traffic casualty curve.
Toronto is . away to a rather bad
start in traffic fatalities this year.
This is, of course, due in part to the
fact that motor (vehicle :mileage in
January in Toronto was unprecedent-
edly great. This was in part attri-
butable to the annual increase in
meter vehicle and in much greater
part -to ,the relatively warm weather
and 'snow free" streets that obtained
through most of the month. bfany
motor vehicles that would have been
"laid up" had normally severe wea-
ther conditions 'obtained .were con-
tinued in service and many of the
balance would have done a much
smaller mileage had it not been a
"golfers' month."

Crossings or against signals.
According to figures released re-
cently by the street safety committee
of the New York Automobile Club and
covering the period from January 1st
to November 1st, 1927, 332 persons
were killed in the metropolis and
7,691 were injured while they were
crossing streets at other than the
designated places for pedestrian traf-
fic to cross the vehicular right of way.
The fact that during the same period
88 persons were killed and 5,674 were
injured while crossing the streets at
the proper crossing throws a search-
ing light on the danger of jaywalk-
ing in modern traffic.
"For many years cities have toyed
with the idea of making it illegal for
anyone to cross a street exeept at the
set crossings. There is a great deal
-of doubt as to the wisdom of passing
such legislation and yet with the
knowledge of the danger that jay-
walking carries, something will have
to .be done unless the public afoot can
be persuaded to stop this practice by
educating it to understand its suicidal
character," declares Automotive Daily
News.
A number of cities have passed by-
laws making jay -walking illegal. At
best these by -laves have been but
sporadically enforced, unfortunately.

WALKERS

sistently carried on in Toronto by the
