THE OREGON STATESMAN, SAI.EM, OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1924 j ROMS WILLDO . LIKE OTHERS DO Jhey Will Turn to the Right Instead ot tne Lett-. Beginning Soon ROME, Sept; 6. (AP.) On of the most radical changes in the aspect of tbe Eternal City that will greet the eyes of thousands of pit grlms next year. Holy Year will be the complete change In traffic regulations. The city authorities have decided to make the rules of the road to the right Instead of to the left, as they hare been through the centuries. I I i Work already has begun to change the switches on all the T street car lines to conform tj& the new regulations, which are expect ed to be nut into effect within a - few months. . ' 1 1 f - Sticklers for the old order of things." however, are predicting a peck of trouble in making the new rules effective. Custom plays a " leading role, particularly. Irj the capital city ot the peninsula king " dom. . - :' I K- : I I It is recalled that 2 years ago the same experiment was tried by , Mayor Nathan, the only British born mayor" Rome ever had., who was bent on making the Roman traffic rules conform to those of the rest of Italy. Everywhere else except In a few large cities, the rules of the road have always been to the right, But Iayor Nathan , ran against a snag, via: The wine . . carts. ' , . " f ' , Tor generations It has been the , custom to transport native irlnes In barrels on quaint two-wheeled vehicles. The drivers, who ajre on duty nearly all the time, do most of their sleeping in the daytime, and have trained their horses to go unsteered to their accustomed destinations. Throughout gener ; " at Ions these nags have been train- ' ed to keep to the left. Winecarts - exist now In as great numbers as even so it Is predicted that It will be as difficult to change the hab its of the wine-horses as it was . when Mayor Nathan tried the ex ' periment. V " . j ' ' . V Another difficulty anticipated In the plans concerns the drivers of ' Rome's 4000 horse cabs, f The plans, as being drawn up. call for special uniform caps with visors for the drivers of horse cabs and taxis; and the cab drivers are up in arms against bringing in these new tangled ornaments that, they Caclare, disturb practicallyf tbe . only, beloved institution handed town by the middle ages. The main attraction for being a cab driver at all, they assert, is Individuality of dress. They cul tivate regular customers to ride in their low-necked Victorias, and they argue that if everybody wears the same headgear how are their customers going to spot their fav orite driver? One might as well Join the army! rm unnri inn i unn nr ll in r r it u u in IB IT CI!! W Nearest Competitor Is : Led by Eight Points by St. L Louis Golf. Star r. f CHICAGO, Sept. 6.
