Service on Water Before Get

Although Capt. T. NJ. Potts, who has
been aid for personnel, and Commander
Philip Andrews, who has been chief OF
the bureau of navigation of the Navy
Department, both passed their examina-
tons for promotion, the first to the grade
of rear admiral and the second to the

assigned them to sea duty commensurate
with their old rank. Capt. Potts takes
command of the battleship Louisiana OF
the Atlantic. fleet and Commander An
drews of the cruiser Montana, in Turk
ish waters.
That is the first action taken by Sec
rotary Daniels toward carrying out his
announced policy of requiring officers to
have adequate sea experience" in their
grades before promotion. He has an
nounced that as soon as the tHo officers
mentioned have demonstrated by suffi-
cient experience at sea that they are
qualified for the next higher grade they
will be promoted to fill the vacancies
which occurred March %.
Capt. Henry T. Mayo, appointed to the
navy from Vermont, and at present com
mandant of the Mare Island navy yard,
will succeed Capt Potts as aid for per-

TO TAKE PART IN CLEANUP.
Original Garfield Citizens Associa.

Arrangements We're made at the April
meeting Of the Original Garfield Citizens
Association last evening for taking part
in the general cleanup campaign next
week, and committee was appointed to
interview the residents of the suburb,
with view of inducing all of them to
clean their premises thoroughly at that
time. President w. A. Bell presided at
the meeting, which was held at the home
of A. w Carroll, on Alabama avenue.
Much interest was manifested in the
proposition to raise funds with which to
purchase equipment for the Fairgrounds
adjoining the Garfield Public School De-
cision was made to hold an entertainment
May and the proceeds will be used to
purchase apparatus.
Just how far the new water mains are
to be extended in the suburb is a ques-
ton of vital interest to the association,
and efforts are to be made to have these
extensions carried as far as possible.
Special stress will be laid upon the neces-
sity of extending them as far as the pub
lie school. which at present is without
any adequate water supply

and strength lost in going to and from
street corners to cross there is not the
greatest objection to that rule
1t seems to me that that is the most
dangerous point at which to cross. fol
there one is obliged to look four ways for
danger. 1t is very seldom there is not
an auto or cycle coming. and often two
or three on each street, and which cor
ner any or all of them will turn no one
can tell. And if it is a car line, cars are
stopping and starting right where one is
obliged to cross. thus adding to the con-
fusion of traffic and danger of crossing.
1t would seem that crossing in middle
of block would be safe by comparison, as
the pedestrian. if rules are followed. has
only one way to look until center of street
is passed. then the other way. OF course
the rule to walk directly and rapidly
as possible should be of service in cross
ing the street anywhere.
We are trying to obey every rule OF
the road: are crossing at intersection OF
streets, but every time wish it was the
rule to cross anywhere but there fol-

the rule which requires vehicles to stop

MAY Require More Collateral.

Maj. Sylvester has the matter of rails
ing collaterals of violators of the traffic
regulations under consideration and will
probably take the matter up with the
Commissioners in the near future. The
question has been raised as to whether
persons having tendency to violate the
regulations would not be more careful
if they knew their arrest would force
them to go to the Police Court or lose
much larger collateral than is now re-
qured
Arrests are being made daily by the po-
lice of violators of the traffic rules and
numerous others are being warned to be
careful to keep within the law. A large
part of this work naturally falls to the
part of the crossing policemen, who not
only must watch out for ordinary vehicle
traffic but must also take care OF the
cars and pedestrians
Carelessness on the part of many pedes-
TRANS and feebleness on the part OF 9th
ers contribute much to the work OF the
crossing policemen, of course. They also
have to do much toward keeping vehicles
fifteen feet in the rear Of a street car
taking on or discharging its passengers.
Street Car Crews Careful.
Many of the motormen and conductors
are showing a Willingness to cooperate
in the efforts to make Washington
streets safer and to eliminate accidents.
Several of the motormen who have been
observed by reporter of The Star have
been dutiful in fulfilling the section of
the traffic regulations which provides
that:
"A driver of street car at a street in
tersection shall indicate by an unmis-
taxable wave of his hand to approach
ing pedestrians and drivers of vehicles
whether they may pass safely in front
of the car.
