Pedestrians Should Use
Street Crossings Only
"If each of the elements of traffic
could be kept in its proper place at
the right time, the big problem of
regulation would be solved," is the
opinion of President H. M. Rowe of
the American Automobile association.
"The sidewalks are for pedestrians
and the streets primarily fcr vehicles.
The pedestrian should be and is safe
guarded in his use of the sidewalks
and designated crossings, where he
should at all timet have the right of
way. When he attempts to use the
streets at points other than at cross
ings he should do so at his own peril."

A few years ago the old horse drew the family pha
eton through the parks for five or ten miles and the fam
ily felt that this was luxury. Now the old folks can take
the children for a ride of fifty miles in a limousine that
possesses all the comfort, luxury and speed one can de
sire. And the old horse looks on.
Overland Roadster Opens .
New Country in Australia
In Australia there la an automobile,
an American-made product, which
gets credit for opening up more terri
tory to motoring than all of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois combined. It is
an Overland roadster purchased in
1913 by A. J. Cotton, one of Aus
tralia! leading pasturers.
Mr. Cotton is a large holder of land
in the northern territory, hundreds of
miles from a railway, and he bought
the car simply as an experiment in an
effort to personally look after his
holdings. His objective point was
Boorooloola Station, on the MacAr
thur river. As soon as the car was
delivered to him he shipped it to
Longneck, the terminus of Queens
land' Central railway. Then he drove
600 milea to Cloncurry, the terminus
of the Northern railway line. Leaving
Cloncurry, he headed west for Ca
mooweal and from the latter point
northeast to Burketown, on the Gulf
of Carpentaria. His arrival in Burke
town is regarded by the natives of
that district as an historical event, in
asmuch as it marked the appearance
of the first automobile ever seen in
that locality.
- From Burketown, Mr. Cotton com
menced the hnal stage' of hit trip,
- which- took him 500 miles through
country inhabited chieflv bv wild
blacks. Without any mechanical dif
ficulty wnatever he eventually armed
at his destination, Boorooloola Sta
tion, 1,500 miles from the starting
point ;
Allen Car Climbs Mount

machines crucial tests at their own

will be successful, thus bringing new

prompted C. E. Cox of Middleboro,
Mast., to make a recent ascent of
Mount Wilson, one of California's
beautiful peaks, in an Allen roadster.
Rising from sea level, Mr. Cox's
Allen roadster climbed to a height
of 6,000 feet, a distance of nine and
one-half miles by road. The weather

Huae Culvert Moved
To Better Location
An illustration of the desirability
of placing culvertsl where they will
be most useful is afforded by the
spectacle of a big structure of this
sort which has been moved slowly
about a quarter of a mile on one of
the country roads of Iowa. This great
mass of concrete is 6 feet wide, 4 teet
high and 24 feet long and weight
about seventy tons. In its original
location it proved of so little service
that a house mover was engaged to
place it at a more suitable place.
He raised it, with its wing walls
at the ends, without cracking it to any
injurious extent and placed it on roll
ers as a house is supported in similar
