Further protest against the enactment

to the Commissioners yesterday afternoon
In the form of letter from Simon Wolf.
Mr.. Wolf stated that 1t had been impossi-

Mr.. Wolf declared that the District has
sufficient legislation on the subject to safe
guard the physical and moral interests of
the community, and he severely scores the
authors Of the so-called thigh license" bill

WHITE PAINT USED.
Work on State, War and Navy De-
partments Building.

There has been considerable comment Of
late, favorable and otherwise, in regard to
the work now in progress on the big gran
lite building housing the State, War and
Navy departments. This work consists of
painting all the galvanized iron molding and
balustrades and all exposed brass work on
the mansard roof. White paint Is used, and
1t contrasts somewhat glaringly with the
sober gray colorng of the massive granite
structure.
Capt. Poole, the engineer officer in charge
of the building, says that the painting Is
being done principally to preserve the ma
terial and incidentally to improve the ap-
pearance Of the building. The ironwork OF
the roof. he said was originally painted
white and II was renewed about seven
years ago Recently 1t became dingy and
showed rust and it was decided to repafnt
It. The fresh white paint is somewhat
garisn by contrast with the quiet gray of
the main superstructure, but Capt. Poole
says that it will be toned down in few
months and harmonic better with the gen.
eral color scheme of the structure.

Auto Horns, Bells and Lights.

To the Editor of The Star:
The proposed amendment to the auto
mobile regulations to prohibit the use in
future of loud-sounding horns on auto
mobiles Is one OF the most sensible and
important steps that has been taken to in
sure public comfort and safety and most
excellent as far as II goes. In this con-
nection, however, I beg to suggest that
the amendment to the regulations should
not stop at prohibiting merely loud
sounding horns Instead of requiring all
automobiles and bicycles to have bells or
horns their use at all should be absolutely
prohibited for In the hands of nine-tenths
of those who use them they are positively
dangerous weapons.
From most careful observation 1 find
that more than three-fourths OF the acct
dents caused by automobiles OF bicycles,
especially to pedestrians. are directly due
to the sounding Of so-called warning by
bell or horn. have noted that there is
nothing more startling or bewildering to
the average pedestrian than the sudden
blast Of horn or clang of bell right in one 8
ears and 1t almost Invariably results in
completely unnerving and rafting the
victim, with the result Of frequent acct
dents
From long experience in driving and rid
ing l have learned that II is far better,
safer and easier to look out for pedestrians
than to expect them to look out for you.
II

horse, who is least able to stop or turn

all good drivers and riders do or should.
and when my bicycle II is very rarely
that l ever ring my bell, preferring rather
to dismount than to take the risk of a col
lsion by startling the pedestrian with the
bell
The privilege OF having horns and bells
to foot and ring ad libitum Is the direct
cause of most OF the recklessntss among
automobiists and bicyclists and 1t is the
cause which should be eradcattd. If all
horns, bells or other warning signals were
positively prohibited. this class of road
users would be forced TO maintain more
moderate and lawful speed and the ex-
ercfse of greater caution to avoid COLI
sions and the burden of doing 50 would be

pecialiy the powerful and binding search
lights, should be prohibited have driven
and ridden a great deal at night but have
never yet found any light necessary on my

Mrs. Mary M. Wright Dead.

Mary Manchester Wright died Tuesday
at the residence of her son, H. H. Decide,
1913 Prospect avenue. She was the relict
of Robert Wright of Fairfax county, Va,
whose death occurred less than year ago.
Mrs. Wright was born in Hamilton, N. Y,
seventy-six years ago, and was of q
wealthy and cultured family. In the state
which had been her home 'ince 1870, two
generations found in her not only an in
structor, but an example.
She suffered much pain In her latter
years, her physical condition keeping her
almost recluse. but she seemingly never
failed in self-command. cheerfulness or
thoughtfulness for others.
Wednesday morning a short service was
held at the house, after which the remains
were taken to Vienna, Va. where funeral
services were conducted in the Presbyterian
Church. The interment was at Flint Hill.
