PEDESTRIANS GIVEN
RIGHT OF WAY OVER
LOS ANGELES AUTOS
LOS ANCELES, Mar. 9.—The new
traffic ordinance recently made effec
here gives pedestrians the right of
way over motorists outside of the cen
tral traffic zone. One afoot desiring
to cross a street at any intersection
not under police control is supposed
to signal his desire by holding up his
hand to approaching motorists, whom
the law obliges to stop until the cross
walk is clear.
The pedestrians, however, are held
rigorously to rules, in that they are
prohibited from crossing streets any
where except at corners. “Jaywalkers”
are liable* to arrest. In the downtown
congested districts the foot traffic is
required to follow the police signals
and move with vehicles.
Violators of the ordinance, includ
ing “jaywalkers,” are subject to a fine
of $50 and a jail sentence for the first
offense; a $100 fine and ten days’ con
finement for a second violation; and
for the third transgression, a fine of
$500 and six months’ jail sentence.
A dozen pedestrians were arrested
the first few weeks of the new law.
Police officials look for more com
plete cooperation when it is realized
that the regulation saves time and
protects life.
The original draft of the ordinance
proposed that horse-drawn vehicles
Ire banished from the congested dis
tricts, but that section was revised to
exclude horses from the downtown
streets between the hours of 4:30 and
0 p. m.
The ordinance in general has em
braced the recommendations of the
recent national conference on street
and highway safety held in Washing
ton at the request of Secretary Her
bert Hoover.

WOMEN GROW TIRED OF HUGS
DYERS GIVE THEIR TRESSES
LONDON, Mar. 9.—A leading West
End hairdresser has said recently
that hair-dying is now one of the
most lucrative parts of his trade.
Many women are asking for their
hair to be dyed white because of the
distinguished effect snow-white hair
gives the owner. Others are seeking
a steely-grey color while others want
the “pepper and salt effect” created
when hair begins to be streaked with
grey.
Red and copper tints are going
out of fashion and possessors of this
class of dyed hair are most anxious
to undergo the new process.
BORIS LIKES TO GIVE
QUIET LITTLE DINNERS
SOFIA, Mar. 9.—One of the indi
cations of returning normality in
Bulgarian affairs is the resumption
of the entertaining of cabinet min
isters and foreign diplomats by King
Boris.
Last winter the king resumed dip
lomatic dinners on a modest scale
tor the first time since the World
War, and the return to this prac
tice on a larger scale than last year
is regarded here as a step in the
right direction.
A feature of these events is the
atmosphere of informality that char
acterizes them. King Boris talks
freely with his guests.

PRIVATE AUTOMOBILES
IN ENGLAND NUMBER ONE
TO EACH 80 PERSONS
LONDON, Mar. 9.—England began
the year 1925 with nearly 80,000
more private automobiles than were
in use a year ago, according to re
cent announcement of the ministry
of transport. This brings the total
number of private motor-cars to more
than 460,000, making one person out
of every 80 the owner of an automo
bile.
At the beginning of 1924 there were
384,000 cars on the road in this coun
try, the proportion being one owner
out of every 100 of the population.
The increase in the number of cars
will, through increased taxes, add
approximately $7,000,000 annually to
the government’s revenues.
