With the thought that the street should be remodeled to fit modern transportation conditions, Los Angeles has contributed the pedestrian tunnel to the cause of accident prevention. The coast city now has 41 foot subways in service · near schools where motor traffic is usually heavy. These underground passageways make 'it possible for the youngsters to cros·s the street in complete safety. Automobile traffic is speeded up and the. drivers are relieved of a great worry. The first pedestrian tunnel in Los Angeles was constructed in 1924, largely as an experiment. The results were so gratifying that a widespread program was adopted. The 41 tunnels now in use will soon be supplemented by others under construction. These tunnels vary in length from 100 to 300 feet. However, engineers are recommending that they be as short as possible, and to this end stair-steps are replacing ramp descents . Highland Park, Michigan, has constructed two such foot subways near schools and has designs for a third with others contemplated. Pedestrian tunnel·s have not as yet been adopted for adult use at busy downtown street intersections, but with automobile traffic increasing it is not unlikely that such subways will be installed. ------------- -- It's hard to keep pride from the tone of voice which says: "Mine Ierce-~ · tf a rrow ,, If there is such a thing as aristocracy among motor cars, Pierce-Arrow is to the manor born. The name has had a patrician meaning for two generations of well-bred Americans. But Pierce-Arrow as more September Shows New Records Set by Pierce-Arrow Another high record for PierceArrow sales, in both the passenger car and truck lines, was established during September, according to an announcement by James G~ Barber of Evanston, north shore dealer. Passenger car shipments have shown an upward climb since early July. Series 81 showed a 43 per cent gain over September of last year. With one excepti.on, the past month has been the greatest in PierceArrow history. And, at the same time, despite larger shipments, Pierce- · Arrow has approximately three times as many unfilled orders on its books as it had one year ago. The total . volume of shipments of both Pierce-Arrow passenger cars and trucks are considerably ahead of last year. On the first of October, with nearly three months of the year remaining, Pierce-Arrow had shipped a larger total of passenger cars and trucks than were shipped during the whole of 1927. With a large number of . unfilled orders on hand, and sales brisk in distributing- centers, Pierce-Arrow has entered October with the brightest prospects of any fall month in history. The demand for Pierce-Arrow's large clual-valve car, the Series 36, has shown a decided increase. This car is especially preferred by fine car buyers in preparation for an active fall and winter, social and business season. One model in particular, the Series 36 Enclosed Drive Limousine, is designed for a dual purpose, being converted from a formal enclosed car into a sedan by a few turns of a handle.
