HEN CROSSING ROAD PROBLEM
Larger towns may concentrate upon automobiles and pedestrians, but Quitman, Georgia, takes its traffic regulation seriously, and has recently passed an ordinance designed to govern the conduct of diickens in its streets. A thoroughly satisfying answer as to why a chicken crosses the road has not yet been devised, but Quitman can make and has made it unlawful for any chicken to cross the road at all. Further, persons owning or controlling, in so far as that ie possible, chickens are forbidden to let them run at large upon the streets or alleys of the town.
Thomasville, near there, has an ordinance designed to prevent negro servants from "toting" home pans of victuals, but Quitman feele that ite chicken ordinance is more constructive.
