Work of education is still progressing
steadily and the enforcement of the law
is beoing carried on. One feature of this
latter part of the campaign for street
safety is that most of the arrests recent
ly. according to the Police Court records,
are for offenses other than speeding-such
as stopping a wagon with the left wheel
to the curb, leaving no weight on horse
or for similar offenses. Comparatively
few arrests have been made of speed
ers.'
Whether this means the practice of
speeding has been abolished in the Dis
trict or whether 1t is more difficult to
make these cases 1t would be difficult to
say.
Chief Cause of Speeding"
That one of the chief causes of speed
ing is due to the fact that the person in
a motor vehicle does not often realize the
speed at which he is travelling was the
belief expressed by one motorist today.
For instance, not long ago / was riding
a motor cycle on a wide country road. l
thought l was going comparatively slow
but when l started to make a turn 1 went
about six feet up on an embankment. l
did not throw myself. fortunately. but
quickly cut down my. speed
An accident of nature that might
easily have been very serious was wit
messed by a reporter of The Star on 18th
street near | northwest yesterday. An
automobile came slowly down the hill
followed at short distance by a ma
chine that was moving considerably more
rapidly Behind both came a boy on a
bicycle. He was going faster than ether

When the first machine reached the

was going at only a very slow rate. The
second machine turned to the left in or

on the bicycle was going SO fast he had
no control and had to turn to the left
also. He tried to pass in front of the
first machine. but 1t had gotten so far
around on l street that he was unable
to do so. Then he was forced to turn
the corner. In doing so he barely missed
the first automobile. and the turn he
made was SO sharp as to throw him to
the ground. He was not badly hurt

To Protect Food Fishes

National legislation for the protection
of edible fish during the spawning sea-
son in interstate rivers and bays,
similar in effect to the act passed by
the last Congress to protect migratory
birds, will be proposed in fhe House
of Representatives by Congressman j.
Coaries Linthicum, of Baltimore.
Mr.. Linthicum said that vigorous
steps should be taken to stop the rapid
depletion of food family fish in the
Chesapeake Bay by the fertilizer fac
tory fishing schooners. If the States
cannot handle this question, he be-
lieves the national Government should
take hold of 1t.
$50 long as the seines are allowed to
take millions of fish from the water for
fertilizer purposes" said Mr.. Linthi-
cum, so long will there be a scarcity
of fish. Of course, / know these men
haden fisheries contend that they do
not take any food fish and that when
they do catch them they throw them
back into the water, but I, like many
other people believe food fish are often
hauled by these fisheries for the fer
tilizer factories.
During the last few weeks Mr.. Lin
thicum has asked the Bureau of Fish
cries to stock the rivers of Maryland.
AS a result 100000 white perch have
beenIplaced in the waters of the Dun
dee 10000 trout in the Severn and
so, 900 in the Patuxent.

Jack Frost's Costly Visit.

Prince Georges County and nearly
all of Maryland was visited on Satur-
day and Sunday nights with the cold
est weather for this late in May for a
number of years. 1t was accompanied
by thin skim of ice, and a heavy
frost, which did considerable damage
to vegetables, especially the tomato
crop throughout the county. Cucum-
Der and cantaloupe plants, string and
lima beans. and Irish potatoes also
suffered very much injury.
The cool snap was caused by the fact
that snow fell in the mountains of Yer
mont Saturday and the wind sweeping
in an arc from the northwest, touched
the snowstorm area on the way and
carried some of the chiliness south
ward.
Reports from Talbot county show
that nearly all vegetables were injured.
Millions of young tomato plants were
killed in Cecil county.
The peach crop was the greatest
sufferer in Wicomico county, the early
fruit being practically killed.
Fruit in Carroll county has been hard
hit, apples being the only product not
totally destroyed.
The effect of the frost in Hartford
county was widespread and great dam
age was reported, the principal loss
being in tomatoes.
The farmers will lose thousands of
dollars and will not be able to replace
the damaged crops.
The greatest injury was done in the
lowlands and in some sections thin
skim of ice was found with a freezing
temperature prevailing.

Keeping The Family Together.

Keeping the family together is
problem that is engaging at last the at
tention it deserves. The public is
awakening to the fact that the mother
onght to have her little brood with her
so long as she makes an effort herself
to keep them. This is only common
humanity. If she cannot meet the ex-
pense of that little family, then 1t be-
comes the duty of those better pro-
vided with this worlds goods to render
the assistance she needs.
Economy as well as sentiment urges
that the family be not broken up. 1t
has been proved over and over again by
the Maryland Children's Aid Society
whose headquarters are in Baltimore,
that it is far less costly to help to-
wards the support of several children
in the home with their mother than to
break up that home and remove the
children to an orphans asylum, where
they will be maintained at the expense
of the taxpayer.
It does not seem possible that any
community could stand by and watch
brave little mother struggling to
keep her family together without lend
ing a hand, and especially impossible
would it seem to be for the mothers
and fathers of that community. Nor is
it within reason to insist upon mother
putting her children in an institution
and simply providing for herself, when
the money needed to support just one
of those children in an institution, added
to what the mother can make, may be
adequate to keep that whole family in
comparative comfort.
Figures from the records of the
Children's Aid Society illustrate this.
Here is a widow left with five children.
Statistics show that it would cost
about $500 year to support each of
these older children in an orphan asylum
this is, 81, 900 year out of the tax
PAYERS pockets, much larger sum
| than the mother had for the household
when the father lived.
The Children's Aid Society made
itself responsible for $83 year, the
rent of a comfortable four-room house,
and the mother found that by plying at
home her trade of sewing, she would
|
to clothe and feed them. The Chill
dren's Aid Society interested some
kindly folk, who will make up this de-
ficiency each year until the children
can work, and the State is saved the
expense of having those five youngs-
tiers thrust upon it. Not to mention
the fact'that the mother and children
continue to enjoy the blessed privilege
of being together in little home OF
their own. In a nutshell. this is
the much-discussed pensions for
mothers.
This family was kept together by an
outlay of 1924 year, as contrasted
with 81 900 that would have been need
ed to keep the children in an asylum.
But their mother was we'll and strong,
and able to go ahead working for them.
These mothers of the nation valient-
ly holding their children as long az
most beautiful philanthropy there is
today. Who could refuse to help
them?
