A Traffic Suggestion

To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Dairy News."

Siz,—On a recent business visit to Tientsin when riding in a ricsha I observed that frequently the police on duty motioned to the ricsha coolie by a movement of the hand (nothing said) to keep more nearly to the inside of the road, i.e. more nearly to the kerb, this whether or not traffic was congested at the time. I do not say that it is a rule, ete., simply that it occurred so frequently that in my nine days' visit it was noticeable.

Why not give the police on duty specific instructions in effect as above. It would gradually give good results.

I am, etc., Moror Can. Shanghai, Sept. 14.
