I am all through trying to tell the police how to improve same as far as vehicular traffic is concerned, but my tension has now been called to a traffic situation ; which ia a whole lot worse '- in small towns on a Saturday night and In big cities aU the wile, namely, the side walk traffic situation. ."' 1 8 and lOyrs. ago Jt was possible fdr a man to walk a block in the business diat. ' f pretty near any town and not get shoved off in to the gutter or worse and it was also possible to step in to a elevator or a St. car or subway and find enough Standing rm. so as your figure was no different when you come out than when you went in. But that was S and ;i0 yra ago. 'I Since then the population of the entire country has increased I for get how many per cent but any way a person and a specially a man is takelng .there life in to their own hands when they try to walk any-' wheres now days except out on a lonely country rd. like the ones they have in New Jersey and even that la dangerous and when you half to ride in a elevator or at. car it Is sel dom'' never you come out the same man. .

'But there is very 'few other that is perfect and a specially amongst the ladies. So Mr. . Whelton wants a law past in every city and town makeing It, compulsory for every citizen male and female, to keep down to the weighf ! which the In surance Co. says they should be ac cording to j there hight and age and if this was done he claims that enough 'people would get narrower so that the congestion amongst pe destrians would be reduced to a minim. , And they1 no doubt In my mind that he ain't righC " 'After the passage of the law-the J enforcement .would be the next question and I suggest the f ollowinjg as the best method. r Have traffic policemans stationed at every cor ner In the middle' of the aide walk and also at the entrance to all st. cars, subways and elevators and have these policemans equipped with a reliable scalea U: They would be required to ob serve every- individual that come there way. In many cases it would be evident that the party observed was O.

Of course the statistics as com piled, by the Insurance Co. is based on what a person, weighs when they alnt got no clothes .; on, you might say and as it' might not be handy for everybody to stripe In the st. or a office bldg. before they stepped on the scales,: why the policemans would half to kind of make a study of gents and ladles clothes and .be able to. tell at a glance what would be the dlfferents In there weight dressed , and vice versal A. good many butchers is expert along these lines and It might be a good idear to draft some of same in to the po lice force..
