NOV. 17 The treasury department has little doubt that the land adjoining the Binghamton postoflice. now under consideration as a prospective site for an annex to the present building, wili be accepted, it was announced at the department today. The site already has been approved by the joint committee on public buildings, composed of offi-cialscials of the treasury and post-office departments. All that remains is the verification of the validity of the title.

The Department of Justice is tak- care of this title investigation. Just how soon its report will be ready is not known and the treasury department would venture no prediction. James A. Wet more, supervising architect, said that the architect's oihee will take the matter up just as soon as it hears from the attorney general's office. It was the attitude of treasury officials that no hitch is expected and 1 hat the title would probably be found to ha valid.

1-MnaI approval of this will eliminate the "Washington, ilmiry and State streets site for a new postoffice and result in the erection of a large addition to the present structure at Wall and Henry streets.

Pedestrian Is Upheld Again by High Court Given Right-of-Way at Inter sections Despite Change of Lights Kinohamtov Press Piireau Washington, I). Nov. 17 A court decision, of prime im- i portancc to all motorists, has just handed down by the United jstates District Court of Appeals, up holding a pedestrians right-of-way crossing despite riffle signal shifts, according to the legal department of the American Motorists' association.

In effect the. court holds that pedestrians have the right-of-way not only at uncontrolled crossings hut also when they have entered an intersection on a green light and further holds that the pedestrian has the right-of-way until he reaches the opposite curb, without regard to the change of lights during his pas- sage of the crossing. The decision is regarded by the association's legal department as J8 order that the motorist may have full knowledge of his legal reapon- sibility "When a pedestrian steps from a curb to cross the street, having a green signal with him. he does so by way of invitation and he cannot be charged with contributory neglect If the signal switches when he is in the street. Caught in this position.

the obligation rests upon the motor- 1st not only to observe the situation, but to wait until the crossing is clear." the decision declares. "Many automobile drivers." con- tinned the court, "seem to imagine that wlih the shift of the signal thev are given a clear right-of-way against intersecting traffic. In this iii belief they recklessly start their ma- chines regardless of persons who are a. ready on the intersection. It is thft uuiy ui unvera or macmnes to exercise greatest vigilance and care under such circumstances and not only to have their machines under control, but to stop and wait until pedestrians have had an opportunity to clear the crossing.

Failure to observe these precautions constitutes negligence on the part of the driver, which, in case of accident, is chargeable to him," the court's decision concludes.

1" Candy and flowers are proving strong rivals to ice cream on special days such as Mothers' Day, Easter. Halloween and Thanksgiving, and something must be dune about it, J. H. Mee-han, of Philadelphia, told the ice cream manufacturers of New Jersey tand Pennsylvania at the Hotel Chel- sea. where the manufacturers are in session.

He also rued the fact that the "nickel" market has gone from the ice cream business, the cone being overlooked in favor of five-cent candy novelties. To offset these losses, he urges his listeners to inaugurate an educational campaign among the dealers by taking them through the ice cream plants, showing them moving pictures of the manufacturing process, lie said they should also be warned against packing ice cream in boxes as it detracts from the quality of the ice cream and from the quality of the profits. He urged that cost and selling systems be installed in the stores, and that lighting effects and layouts be distributed. "We must make our dealers high class merchants instead of ordinary and if they do Tot measure up let us find dealers who will," he continued. "If we want our product respected by the public, it should be presented to the public by business men who respect themselves."
