Roads are better designed, so as toeliminate hazards. -. y Next year's automobiles will probably be' mostly equipped equip-ped with a new "sealed-beam", headlamp which will tend to eliminate road glare. " This invention, which is expected to rank with four-wheel brakes,- safety glass, and all-steel bodies as a safety feature, was developed jointly by the lamp and motorv manufacturers who pooled their knowledge . and experience to produce it. Anexcellent example of co-oper-. ation, by the way. .".";- ". ' ' Anew type of safety glass which eliminates side window distortion and undue eye-strain is alsd to.be introduced by one company, and new bodies partly vmade of transparent plastics are to bf introduced. . Yes, automobiles are being ma'de safer each year. The one safety factor that seems hardestxof all to improve is the fool behind the wheel. Even there some progress is being made by relentless safety campaigns ano education, but more unyielding than glass or steel or plastic is the stubbornness of the human mind, slow to learn, slower to change.x A College Cops : t ' . : Probably, a few unthinking smiles will be drawii from the proposal of the American Bar 'Association's.

' Traffic Regulations Not Well Understood Editor Herald:- r J7; ' : Have you' observed how many pedestrians there 5 are who violate vio-late the traffic, signs?" It appears that most people think that these signs are only for the drivers of autos: Tt is a wonder that there are not morekilled crossing at' the intersection where the ligTit signals are. Pedestrians should not cross the ' streets' walking against the red light; ifx they do,-they do,-they do so at the periLof their life: A -short time ago, ; the .writer witnessed an - elderly woman ; Jcrossing- the street against tne red light at the intersection or Fifth West and S Center streets. The red light -was on - as she started across, and when she -arrived at the center, three cars were coming from the north and three from the south; The drivers, driv-ers, of "course, had the right' of way r-and" were coming, at a high speed, .figuring to get "past the green light both ways. ; But as they came . nearer, the old lady became frightened and. somewhat some-what confused, so V the drivers slowed down and swerved s in order or-der to miss her. It was a ' very critical, moment, as she v might have retreated and been caught by the cars.- Of course the driv-efrs driv-efrs would no doubt have been criticized - as being - careless or drunk; when in- reality, it j would have" been no ; fault ; of , theirs if an accident had x happened. ; Jz A friend-made, the - remark the other day' to the writer that it would be a fine thing If the traffic traf-fic officers could be given ! a chance once a. year, to: appear at' the Sunday evening, services; ana explain to the people traffic regulations.- as in ' his opinion, there are but few - that' really . understand under-stand all there is to ' know about it. I said, I will amend that motion-and. make it twice 'a year, as. it would be too much to remember re-member for a whole year's time. Parents need to learn it, and then take one night a week to teach obedience and traffic regulations to- their children.

I read in the Herald the account of the way some . of the money was spent by the city ort the power plant. ' There was one item about Nu-veeh Nu-veeh being paid $2966 forprlnting the bonds and for legal expense That surely seems1 to me to be an outrageotts charge. I'll bet any printing' plant In the state "will nrint 850 bonds for $200, and I'll wager that there are several good law j f irms in this state that would furnish an opinion as to the legality of the bonds for $250. Subtracting 50 from $2966, that leave over $2500 velvet for that man Nuveen. Then thev tell me rhat he made 5 per cent on the ?a:Ie' of-bonds, which,- as I figure it, would, amount to over $40,000. So itstrikea me that Nuveen has surely feathered his nest on this power plant deal. , That man Ulen . isn't so . slow either. From reading the paper I see where he got $35,000 for just fixing up some plans. " Then THIHTV VEAR3 TOO SOOJ4. Agin 'Em This right" includes freedom he is ta get 000 more for just supervising the' construction of the job. And what I can't understand is why the' city has i to pay several hundreds dollars more for his office of-fice rent, phoner traveling-expense and furnishing ' him with" petty ca.th. T arways thought contractors contrac-tors took care of their own expenses-, TJlen sure seems ,-to have a drag with the !city. ' A-jA . Of course, ' Idon't kno'wr anything any-thing about law. ' I' always understood under-stood ' that publishing ordinances and the like, "was -legal, but it seems nighty funny to me if sthe city can pay out money to a newspaper news-paper ' for sending out sample copies of a newspaper td N help ,'buUd up Its T subscription ' Can it be possible that some of .the city officers are part ; ownersvof the weekly"' news magazine. V- V ' Then there's another -; item , I noticed which seems- pretty: big to me, $309 for the, city treasurer's trip to Chicago. These railroad ads tell us that you ' can" get - a first class Pullman trip to Chicago for about" $80 and ; if' you went on the : Challenger, with : pullman you could go for muchness. I can't understand what that extra $200 was for. - ? All' this spending seems a mighty lot' of money to us' WPA boys. ONE OF THE WPA BOY. '.
