A Biaaer Traffic Squad to Catch Speeders.

While Chief Magistrate McAdoo was arguing
Yesterday for q big addition to the traffic squad TO
handle the ever-growing automobile problem, the
police courts In all parts Of the city were congesed
with oyer-Sunday cases Of automobiles who had
violated the traffic ordinance. The fact that seven
motorcycle natrolmen responsible for some
two hundred offenders arraigned in the West Side
court gave point to the chief magistrates plea.
He urged the appointment Of at least five hundred
more men TO the traffic squad, now numbering
about five hundred, the teaching of these men in a
police school by experienced traffic regulators, and
guarding of street crossings uptown at night,
and routes Of heavy commercial traffic, now I'M
guarded.
Ii is evident to any pedestrian who goes around
the city much that restrictive force Of drastic
nature must be applied to the automobile drivers,
for they are unwilling unable to hold themselves
iu for the pnbllc's protection. From the man who
drives mail truck TO the man who drives a racing
car they seem to have the idea that the cys
streets even in congested sections, are intended
solely for speedways. 1t may be that In time this
city's population will become as adept at scurrying
over the crossings and lodging between the flying
cars as are the Parisans Meantime TIC speed
ing md reckless driving are too great and the acci

THE TALK OF ANIMALS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: These days when YOU in your
columns discuss such timely questions
as the Mexican trouble. suffrage. eu-
genics. etc, modesty compels me 10 feel
very. very small when I ask the seem
ingly unimportant question that has
VeXed me for some time: Why do not ami
mails talk? | have read once an eNplaua-
ton OF this, which. however. did not sat
isfy my yoarning for correct Information
The information ! refer To said more
wittily than wisely, that the reason why
animals do not talk is because they have
nothing to say. l am n friend Of ami
mails. and | am especially fond of dogs.
| own little fox terrier. and. of course.
he does not talk. But ne certainly does
think, and understands what | say TO
him. and obeys beautifully. Also think
that oftentimes he would nave whole
lot TO say to me. "Whenevey Il man is
lonely" wrote Lamartine. God sends
him dog" II seems that the wise poet
realized also that animals do think. else
he would lot have referred to dog as
companion To lonesome people

The World joys on a Bit.

About as interesting an advance as is being made
by this slow old world is in its prisons. Witness as
an item what Miss Madeleine Doty and Miss Eliza
beth Watson have accomplished st Auburn.
Once upon time were spendidy If brutally
logical and hanged most Of criminals. Then
softer notions crept in, and since have been
muddng along without either logic any real hui
mainly.
The substitute for hanging was to lock up pris-
oners under conditions Of filth torture and corrup-
ton that presently turned them loose upon the world
in far eviller state than when they entered. This
process certainly not an Improvement for either
the criminal the community. 1t satisfied nebu-
lOus and unrefecting desire for supposedly genter
ways, and that was all.
The present movement begins 10y looking the facts
in the face-such first hand facts OF prison condi.
tions as Miss Doty and Miss Watson CLEANED recent
ly through their voluntary stay In the Auburn wom-
ems prison. 1t is sign of the times that Superin-
