Jan. 4.—(I. N. S.) —As a means of improving traffic conditions in San Francisco, Dr. Hartland Law. ioug a student of traffic tangles in cities, come* for- ward with a plau for the organiza tion of the Pedestrians* Traffic Club. Dr. I jv U serious about his club and claims it is a practical scheme to improve the city’s traffic problem. One of the greatest evils in traffic regulations and systems is jav-walk- ing. Dr. Law would cure this from the inside by organizing pedestrians into a society, the members of which pledge themselves to avoid jaywalk ing at all times under all conditions. But Dr. Law’s organisation of walkers would not only be pledged t6 observe rules tending to improve traffic systems, but would also be a self-constituted body of vigilantes— an enormous public safety commit tee to report persistent violators of traffic laws. * According to Dr. Law. one of the greatest forces for traffic improve ment is the force of public opinion, which is represented by the mass of pedestrians. Cooperation of this walking public would strike at the very heart of the city’s traffic tangles he believes. I Dr. Law pointed out that no mo torist would dare cut through a safe ty station if every occupant of that reserved section were a volunteer, policeman, ever on the alert to re-; port violations of traffic regulations. Motorists, he says, would be much I more careful in the crowded dis-' tricts of the city, especially during the rush hours, if they know that not only the eyes of the traffic officer, ’ but the eyes of the entire walking public were keeping tab on their ac-1 tions. In short, the solution of the traf- ■ fic problem in any city is merely the ’ building up of public opinion in sup port of law obedience and the form ing of a gigantic walkers' organiza tion to act as vigilantes in reporting law violations, according to Dr. Law.

Colors Being Used in Evening Frocks Orchid With Yellow Chic Novelty Feature Now in Forefront We do not think of practical values when we select the eveniug wardrobe, obeerves a fashion writer. That la why, perhaps, modistes are relegating their taffetas, satins and crepe knits to the rear of their shops and tilling the windows with those elusive af fairs which seem to be cloudy associa tions of ribbon, lace and the slieerest materials. Bouffant effects add to this appear ance. The opaque quality of rutiled material merely emphasizes the soft transparency of the single fold which forms the frock Itself.
