...political motto: "Don't rock the boat." Out of Congress: He lives frugally at the Woodley Apartments in Washington, avoids society. He is uneasy among strangers, has few close friends. His hobby: solitaire. He smokes inexpensive cigars, is a devout Methodist, rides to the Capitol on the street car. He holds a part-time paid position on the national council of the Woodmen of the World. Each year he saves some of his $10,000 Congressional salary...
Winter tramped prematurely out of the Northwest last week. A Montana stockman died in a blizzard. Minnesota lakes were skimmed with ice. Michigan had icicles. All around the Great Lakes storm-warning signals crackled in a 50-m.p.h. blast. Car radiators froze in Illinois. A heavy snowstorm swept Dunkirk, N. Y., wrecked power and telephone lines. At Eighteen Mile Creek, N. Y., 2,500 automobiles were stalled overnight in drifts...

Much of this loss is due to traffic stop signals which have been constructed either on an unsound engineering basis or without the justification of acute traffic conditions. Moving vans and commercial vehicles whose runs cost five cents a minute, and more, as well as pleasure vehicles are being blocked in some localities by signals...
Signal systems may be divided into two categories: independent and coordinated. The independent lights change at fixed intervals or may be changed by electrical contact caused by a car approaching the intersection. Coordinated lights are controlled in relation to other lights and may be simultaneous or progressive. Simultaneous lights are used in New York, but are technically unsound because they result in a high moving speed and a slow overall rate. The progressive lights as they are used on Washington Street in Boston are theoretically ideal and permit a quick and continuous flow of traffic...
