NO SPEEDERS' IN DETROIT
C. F. Qytteson Pleased With Meth-
ods There in Controlling; Auto-
mobile and Other Traffic '
"While in Detroit last week" said C.
F. Gydeson manager of the Houston Mo-
tor Car company last night "one of
the most plessant experiences ' that 1
ever had In my life was to drive an' an-
lomobtle among 10000 or. more automo-
biles and to. find there an absolute1 ab-
sence of speeding. I drove's car dur-
ing Sunday afternoon with P. C Foley
of Foley Bros snd' Guy Wagnor and E.
Vernon of Fort Worth for over seventy
miles covering stretch after stretch of
the beautiful drives of DVtrolt and not
In one single Instance did I see sn auto-
mobile running over a twenty-mile gait..
"Another matter In connection with
sensible driving that particularly attract-
ed my attention was the bicycle police.
Of course hundreds andy hundreds of
cars are not equippedywlth speedometers
and the driver is unable to tell within a
mile or two of how fast he Is going and
several times in the nf teen-mile district
I noticed thet if an auiomobilo was ex-
ceeding the limit slightly that ths officer
did not arrest hem but merely-held up
his hand as a warning that they wero
running too fast. 1-was told that they
did not make a habit ot arresting auto-
moblllsts for slightly exceeding the limit
but would warn them. -' i.
"The officers stated that the bicycle
police were far the protection of the au-
tomobilists as well as ths pedestralns
snd horse drawn vehicles but that of
course if a man paid no . heed ' to- this
warning he then became a violator of
the law of hl.s own knowledge snd was
irtsud oci-otu.ngly. They also Said that
such a thing as racing was an entirely
unknown qusntltyi and if a man . was
caught driving recklessly he wss stopped
whether he waa going above or below the
speed limit. 1 was particutarlyattracted
