THE DRIVER ON THE LEFT
It has been construced by the supreme coiirt of Oregon
that the auto driver first entering the street intersection
does not thereby necessarily have the right of way as
against cross traffic. If he foolishly drives in front of
a speeding machine entering from the right, even after
. his entry, he is himself guilty of contributory negligence
in the case. This is a reversal of the construction
hitherto, that the first man in the intersection has the
right of way. In case of dispute it puts the burden of
proof on the driver on the left.
This construction increases the need of vigilance in
looking well to the right at all crossings. It compels
the "driver to use his best judgment as to whether the
man approaching from the right will reach the middle
of the intersection before him, or at the same time he
does, or sufficiently late to pass unhindered behind him.
It emphasizes, the subordination of the driver on the
left. He is obliged to give the driver on the right all
benefit of the doubt.
Portland traffic officers say that more than half the
auto accidents in this city result from a desire to beat
cross traffic across intersections. Trying to beat any
thing in a crowded street is near crime. Portland Tele
gram. A NOBLE DANCER
German aristocrats are
the young Count John Lerchenfeld auf Koefenng unci
Shoenberg has taken a job as floor manager for danc
ing parties in a Berlin hotel. For 500 years it has been
considered that no scion of that family should acept
any employment except from the state or army.
Young. John, who happens to be a handsome fellow
and a good dancer, with modern ideas, thinks he can
earn more in such work than he could get out of his
wrecked family estates, and doesn't see any reason why
he shouldn't take the job.
Americans will look at the matter as he does. They
will make the additional comment that the Count will
probably do Germany less harm by his dancing than the
German nobility has done it latterly in public service.
