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. We are carrying out the
