THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, XOTE3IBER 22, 1D19. 13 REVOCABLE PERMIT FOR DRIVERS URGED Realty Board Indorses Plan to Regulate Autoists. CAPTAIN LEWIS SPEAKS Only 27 Shopping Days Until Christmas Shop Early While Assortments Are At Their Best Enactment of Xew State License Law Proposed to Cat Down dumber of Accidents. 1 Enactment of an automobile driv ers licence law by the state was urged yesterday by Captain H. A Lwts, head of the traffic division of the city pol!:e force, in Bpeaking be fore the Portland realty board at the regular weekly luncheon and meeting at the Benson hotel, as the solution to the automobile problem and as a measure to reduce the tremendous toll In life and limb which Portland has paid as a result of accidents during the past year. Captain Lewis also scored the all day parker as the greatest cause of congestion on the streets and urged car owners to leave their machines at home unless they actually use them during the day's business. One-way traffic on the city streets will soon be necessary to prevent congestion he declared. The traffic officer was invited to speak before the board in place of Chief of Police Jenkins, who was un able to be present. AH Phanes DUcaued, Captain Lewis thoroughly covered all phases of the traffic subject rela tive to Portland streets and asked the co-operation of the realty men in aid ing the police in the movement foi safety and relief of congestion. At the close of his address the board adopted a resolution indorsing the work of the traffic department and pledging co-operation. Captain Lewis presented accident figures for the past three years, showing an increase this year of 100 per cent over two years ago. The figures follow: 1917, total of 4000 ac cidents and 22 deaths; 191S, total of 6000 accidents and 28 deaths; 1919, re port covering first 10 months only, 8600 accidents and 32 deaths. "Every automobile driver should be made to carry a certificate which would be revocable by the court if the man proved to be a reckless or incapable driver," he declared. "The present fines do practically nothing towards cutting down recklessness and speeding. If a driver is 'caught' he pays his fine and charges it up to operating expenses of his machine. "He probably figures that that was one time that he was unfortunate enough to get caught and goes ahead and speeds again, endangering life and property. If the driver who was reckless was 'forced to give up his ficense for a time and to leave his machine in the garage for 10 davs, month or longer he would hesitate the next time before violating the law." Prdcntrfitnn Alno Blamed. That the fault was not all the driv ers by any means was also explained by the police captain, who declared that 80 per cent of accidents in which Dedestrians figure were diif to thos on foot, who "blundered across the streets as though ox team traffic were still in vogue." The solution of the downtown con gestion problem must ultimately be met by the establishment of one-way traffic, now used in many eastern cities with narrow street, he stated. At the present time over 1000 automo biles pass alon g any one block of Washington street in the business district in an hour, he said, while 119 street cars and two or three times as many automobiles operate on Second street, practically slowing traffic to a snail's pace. The man who drives his car down town In the morning, parks it in . front of some body else's place of business and leaves it there all day is the worst traffic pest in Portland, he declared. J. D. Lee, pioneer Oregon real es tate man, was the second speaker at the meeting, his subject being, "Port land, the Awakening Giant." Sir. Lee urged the realty men to unite in a progressive policy looking toward the industrial development of city and state and increasing the population 100 per cent. George Englehart acted as chairman of the day. 1 GAS MAY GUARD SAFES BURGLAR PROTECTIOX DEVICE DESIGXKD BY FORTLANDKR. Arthur L. Tribe Declares "Invin cible Chemical Barrage' Will 7tX Intruders to Sleep. A device designed to make safe - cracking a lost art has been invented by Arthur L. Tribe, manager of the Oregon Independent testing labora- I tdry. and H. P. Gates of Portland, and Is being placed on the market under the name of the "Invincible Chemical Barrage." The active principle of ttie new anfe protector consists of a phial of chemlcale placed within the aefe. When the safe is blown with nitroglycerine the explosion shatters the phial and the chemicals escape In the form of a gas barrage which rolls tnto the room and overcomes the burglar if he lingers to collect his pTundor. The gas employed, according to Mr. Gates, is not a killing mixture, but Is . combination of "tear gas" and an asphyxiating gas. The burglar who cracks a eafe protected with the CTierntcal barrage is supposed to he prevented from returning to the room oTter the explosion to rifle the afe, or. if he remains in the room In spite of the gae. is supposed to be found In - the morning, slumbering peacefully on the floor. Arthur L. Tribe, the chemist of the Invincible Chemical Barrage com pany, hns been engaged In the prac tice of t-hemiNt ry for the past 25 years, and has been employed In the capacity of chemist by the "United States government and by the city of Ban Francisco. He nan made his home in Portland since 1910. According to H. D. Gates, advertis ing and sales manager of the new company, the idea of protecting safes by means of a gas barrage came from the use of poisonous gases In war fare. "The airplane has become a mail and express carrier. he says, "the submarine is being used to salvage submerged wrecks, and the wireless telephone has been adapted to peace time uses.
