preme Court possibilities Yesterday the

he had to propose.

That these organizations are doing
splendid work is true. but they are
not doing much of the kind Of work

It has been operated or the kind of
work that would be done through it if

If the committee had proposed that
one of thesa societies be given an ap-
preparation to extend its activities
to include distribution of pure milk
to those too poor to buy it, and to
include the maintenance of a corps
of nurses to 60 into the homes of the

children, it would have displayed a
keener appreciation Of the needs of
the situation. But it did no such thing
Substantially, it recommends that the

To the Editor OF The washington Times;
The number Of serious accidents that
are daily occurring on the streets OF
our city should prompt all good cIti-
zens to voluntarily lend their aid to all
reasonable ordinances and orders that
are put forward to reduce these catas-
trophies.
The lives OF our citizens and their
immunity from injury on public high
ways should be considered Of more real
Importance to US all than any little
extra trouble or expense we may be
put 70 for the common good. Every
automobile, wagon, or other vehicle
and sls bicycles and tricycles should be
conspicuously numbered. and every

to Congress as a direct and simple
solution of the difficulty.
Surely there can be no serious oP-
position to the first measure, which
oommends itself because of its justice
and common sense. There should be
no objection to the second, because
the appropriation for the current year
was small, owing to the fact that the
weather was mild last winter and did
not call for the expenditure of all Of
the Districts appropriation. The
people of the District are more than
willing to contribute their half of
whatever sum is needed now; Congress,
acting for the people of the country,
can hardly fail to appreciate the de-
STABILITY of having the Government
contribute its half, for the purpose of
making the Capital of the Nation hab-
liable to those who live here and an
object of beauty to visitors who come
