A Motor Tragedy.

Yesterday a coroner's jury held for
the, grand jury a motorist whose ma
zine the other day caused the death OF
:, newsboy at the corner OF 10th and u
streets. Evidence was given to the ef-
feet that the machine was being oPer-
ated at d dangerous rate OF speed,
turning the corner SO rapidly that two
Of the wheels went up on the curb
The jury. it appears. took the view that
in = case where death results from the
evidently careless handling of Il motor
ear the court should always take juris-
di,'tion. in order that the operator OF
the car may be put upon proof re-
spe"tiliI his responsibility.
Notwithstanding the traffic rules in
tGis city. there is much reckless driving,
and evidently there is need OF 4 stiffer
application of the law to check the
tendency on the part of certain motor
lists to use the streets as raceways and
to ignore the regulations that are de-
signed to protect life. The death OF
this little boy the other day attests
traSically to the danger that is run by
pedestrians and other street users, and
it is to be hoped that it will serve as q
corrective warning to those who are
now inclined to overstep the law and
to take chances in the matter of de-
lection.
The great majority of motorists are
law abiding. and they deprecate the
disposition of the few to ignore the
rules and endauger life. The restric-
tions imposed upon the entire traffic
are uecessitated by the actions of these
few. who have apparently so little re-
gard for the law and for human life.
Careful motorists should, and to a graf
ifying extent do. cooperate with the
police to maintain safe standard OF
street use in Washington.

to reach a conclusion definitely In any
such case The underworld In New

possibility Of such a connection mas

The War and After.

| In the course of his speech before the
house of commons yesterday David
| Lloyd George, the chancellor of the
| excheQuer, estimated that the cost of
| one year of war for England would be
| $3.50. 100000. the greatest toll for con-
| fiict ever paid by the nation. more than
twice what was spent by Great Britain
! in the four-year struggle in South
| Africa. A significant feature of the
chancellor's speech was his expression
| of hope that there would be great re-
duction of ornaments after the war,
| though he predicted that for the first
few years of peace the country would
be compelled to pay increased charges
for interest. for separation allowances
, and for pensions. This brings to atten-
tion the question OF the effect of this
| war in the promotion of future peace
Every country now engaged in it, who
ever may be the victor. will be under a
much heavier debt than before the
war began. Even reckoning indemni-
ties received from the vanquished, the
victorious nations will have increased
| their obligations in the form of both
national debts and pensions. Can any
of the countries now engaged in the
the same time maintain their arma-
ments on even the scale that prevailed
before the war began?
This war will destroy enormous val
ues in addition to the direct cost of
maintenance. Industry and commerce
in Europe have already suffered tre-
mendously. and will continue to suffer
is an increasing ratio as the war con-
NM b.
peace is restored for them to regain
even a part of the lost ground What
with the total destruction of buildings,
the devastation Of entire cities, the
despoilment of farms, the slaughter of
live stock. every one of the countries
in which the war has ragged or will
rage before peace. is declared will have
found its working capital reduced by a
heavy percentage. Not one of the
countries now involved in the war,
whether actually the scene of conflict
or not. will be as capable afterward of
producing value and meeting taxation
as it was before. Every one of the
governments will be under heavy
obligation to care for the sufferers
from the war who have been rendered
helpless, and in each Of these lands will
NC uldiHtdiHeO struggle IOr at least
a generation to avoid widespread suf-
fering and to maintain an economic
balance.
These conditions must be taken into
account in considering the effect of the
war with regard to the maintenance of
armaments. Whatever may be the state
of public opinion on this score, the
actual reduction in popular wealth
through the impairment of the indus
trial health of the people must have an
effect upon the governmental programs.
A nation can stand only SO much taxa
tion. and if there is a lack of means,
caused through war. it is unlikely that
even the most autocratic power in Eu-
rope could compel the support of mill
tary establishments in times of peace
costing even as much as did those that
were maintained before this catacIysm
came.

Needlessness.

The tailor on your coat will sew
Some buttons with great care.
Although nobody seems to know
Why most of them are there
You purchase food you never eat
And books you never read.
And everywhere you turn you meet
The things you didn't need.
A lady wears the plumage gay
That fashions rule may claim,
With furs and feathers on display.
The Indian does the same.
The jewels flashing near and far
Mean love and hate and greed,
And what we crave most fiercely are
The things we do not need.

of the woman's forward movement to

Check Brain Work When the Child Is

As soon as Il child begins to grow
rapidly all intellectual eXertion Should
be checked Such is the theory which
DR.. G. MERCER. the famous English au-
thority on children. expresses in an
article i'm the London Lancet Espe-
cially when there is any family tcnden-
cy to nervous or mental disorder. rap
idly growing children should be with
drawn from school altogether until the
period OF rapid growth is over
MERCER does not think that intelec-
tual work ut high pressure Is harmful
to either boys or girls as long as food.
sleep and bodily exercise are sufficient,
but he is sure that pressure Of intel
lectual work in those who are grow
ing rapidly should never be permit
ted. and If growth be proceeding very
rapidly all intellectual work should be
put aside
DIR. MERCER insists that ii is scarce
~ possible to give growing children
too much TO eat and it should always
be borne In mind that the carbohy-
drates - starch. sugar and fat 80 are
mainly fuel that is burned up in pro-
ducing muscular movement and that
the proteins are the main elements IN
the formation OF tissue. Consequently
il is mistake to restrict the meat ra-
ton OF children.
