"rc 5 i tie 1 MM You Want to Ktiow About Your Auto and How To Drive It and Keep It IE Advice Horn Keep Automobile Running Smoothly and the Beet Way to Remedy Machine Trouble Traffic Suggettton mnd Pleatur Route tor Evening World Remdtru. Bg GEORGE B. ROBERTSON. HERE Is being tried at present in one or two large elite a new srs- I tern of regulating- traffic, whloh Is bolnf closely watched br traffic officials here. This scheme consists 'ot semaphore slraalt nlacel at the four aides ot Us crossing square with an officer in charge who is stationed in a booth on the sidewalk.

According to reports the ex periment has not been Tory success ful. While the semaphore signals are clearly visible to drivers there is no actual assistance given instructing them when, and when not, to cross. Ot course, with such a system the whistle has been abolished. I do not believe that any traffic arrangement will prove efficient wrthout an officer on the spot directing It, using his whistle In connection with other slg I nals. The blowing of the whistle warns the drivers in the rear ot the held-up GEO-H line when to bo ready to move.

With out this warning quite a little time would ensue before all the traffic could proceed. Pedestrians also recognise the whistle and regulate their crossing accordingly. NAEIMOVA AT PALACE IN "WAR BRIDES." There is an arrangement at the southeast corner of Madison Avenue sad Thirty-fourth Street which is of benefit to trsfflc when in the act ot turning. This corner has been cut in such a way as to give a motor car when turning here a. longer radius to wheel in.

Every corner oa Fifth Avenue in the conjested district should be shaped in the same way. Be cause ot tbo extreme length ot automobiles these days a longer turning radius is necessary. Traffic Is frequently held up for several minutes when theso long motor cars attempt to turn at cramped corners. Re shaping the corners would be Inexpensive, would not endanger pedestrians and would greatly facilitate the duties of the traffic polioemen. AMAwrnn to letters.
