Considerable interest has already been
shown in organized effort for the pre-
vention of street accidents. but it is be-
lieved much more attention will be given
it when the definite policies and the scope
of work of the organization are outlined
fully Many persons prominent in official
and civic life in the District have in
dorsed the plans far disclosed.
That such a body will be able to do
much beneficial work is the belief of
many persons who have expressed them
selves on the subject.
Through such an organization the pub
lie could be taught to look upon street
accidents as unnecessary Ills, SAID one

Safety Day. -

To the Editor of The Star:
In connection with the very excellent
work you are doing to make a safer
Washington, l inclose a clipping as a
suggestion of what might be done in the
Washington schools to help the cause
you are promoting.
LAURA LOUISE TRACY.
The clipping. from source not indi-
Gated, is as follows:
New York city public schools recently
observed safety day. Talks and readings
about the avoiding of accidents impressed
hundreds of thousands of children with
the necessity of eternal vigilance in the
crowded streets. Future statistics will
no doubt justify the wisdom of this kind
of instruction in diminished list of IA
taIities and injuries. Every city should
have a safety day for its school chill

Case in Point.

One particularly fragrant case of this
character was observed yesterday when
an automobilist. who was running his car
in the exact center of the Avenue,
stopped to chat with some friends
pedestrians. The group occupied large
portion of the street. extending from its
exact center toward the right-hand curb
OF course this street obstruction was a
violation in itself. The other vehicles
which came that way were required py
law to pass to the left of the halted auto
mobile and the group of pedestrians. In
order to pass them it was necessary Tor
the vehiclists to go on the left side OF the
street. thus laying themselves open TO
liabilities i'm case of accident

Reminded of Battle Story.

WHY. when / read in The Star few
nights ago that thirty persons had been
killed in traffic accidents in the District
during the last year and several hundred
more or less seriously injured, it seemed
to me that | was reading the account of
some terrible battle Certainly these
accidents are unnecessary and the pub
lie should look upon them in that light.
such a sentiment against accidents
should develop in this city as would cause
every individual to use every means with
in his power to prevent them. If some
contagious disease should break loose
here every one would Immediately take
steps to check it's growth and to OBTAIN
protection from it. 1t should be the same
with these accidents.
So far no marked Improvement has
been noticed in the way in which vehi-
cles observe the rule requiring them TO
keen near the curb. Large NUMBERS OF
them, especially those travelling at the
faster rates run so close to the center
of the street as to leave no margin ex-
cent on the left-hand side-against trail
fic-and this is in direct opposition to the
traffic regulations, which the off1cials are
endeayoring to enforce Besides being
against the general traffic conditions 1t
Is pointed out that'it does not leave the
middle of the street open for emersen-

CUPID sYsTEMATIzED


Complaint comes from Hilo that the restric-
tions put by Territorial. Treasurer Conkling on
the issuance of marriage licenses has not worked
out ideally on the Big Island. The Tribune finds
that the most notorious case of wrongful issu-
ance of license in several years has taken place
under the new system, which does away with I'M
counted agents and restricts to deputy tax asses
sors the right to issue permits. In Honolulu the
new system, has worked well, already preventing
the abuse Of marriage in at least two cases. OF
course tine now-authorized license agents are not
infallible but there is not the slightest question
that the plan Treasurer Conkling devised is bet
ter than the timehonored lack of system pre-
viously existent 1t stands to reason that it is
easier to supervise and control a half dozen
agents than it is to supervise and control forty.
Similarly it is easier to name half dozen really
qualified agents than to name forty.
In Honolulu the only objection to the system
seems to be that the sole license agent is making
too much money! 3ss1
