IT. MOFFEH REPORTS
ON NEW YORK MEETING
Tells Washington Safety First As
sociation What Federation of
America Committee Did.

Various safety regulations consid-
cred by the transportation committee
of the Safety First Federation of
America at its meeting in New York
Tuesday were enumerated before the
Washington Safety First Association
last night by J. T. Moffett, superfn-
tendent of transportation OF the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, who represented the local safety
organization on the. federation's com
mittee. Mr.. Moffetts report was the
feature of the meeting of the District
organization, which was held at the
Public Library.
Among the safety suggestions made
at the committee meeting, said Mr..
Moffett. were the following: Near
nations for traffic policemen; rear
lights on horse drawn vehicles: elm
ination, SO far as possible, of rear and
side steps on horse drawn vehicles,
possibly through the use of folding
steps: uniform colors for signals and
uniform systems of signaling for traf-
fic police all through the country: uni
form manner of designating safety
zones for pedestrians, and need for
signs of warning in the vicinity of
garages and stables. Some of the fore
going suggestions are already in force
IN Washington. but are not used in
some other cities.
Street Accidents Greatly Reduced.
Mr.. Moffett spoke of the high caiiber
Of the men who have given their sup
port to the Safety Federation. During
the last year, he said, street accidents
have been greatly reduced in many
places through the work of safety or
ganizations. but even yet the number
of casualties is high. He exhibited a.
number of buttons and books used in
connection with safety work.
Following the acceptance of Mr.. Mof-
fetts report, DIR. Edgar D. Thompson
urged that the association ask the Com
missioners to compel horse-drawn We
hicles to carry rear lights. The .asso-
citation went on record as favoring this
ordinance.
DR.. Thompson reported that plans for
the annual excursion Of the associa-
tion to be held at Marshall Hall, We'd
nesday, are about complete. Various
athletic events have been arranged,
including a base ball game and a prize
of S. in gold is to be given to the boy
or girl writing the best essay on safety
first.
William F. Peabody, president Of the
association, presided.

To John the whole affair seemed like

the long vista of arches that bridged
the gllmmering water which splashed
gently along to the call of the tide; he
saw the dark bulk of the lieutenant in

Athletics, he said, are an important

lege athletics are at present too
highly specialized. And they are
a failure unless the spirit Of fair

Women $ College, and the College
Farm. The visitors, who arrived
at ten clock, We're met by Della
ware College officials and citizens
of Newark, and escorted to the Col
Iege Farm, where the buildings and
stock were inspected. After spend
inc half an hour at the farm, the
visitors were taken to the College
Oratory where an informal recep-
ton was held. The Legislature was
greeted by the entire student body,
headed by President Mitchell, and
other members of the faculty. Gov
ernOr Miller, who presided at the
informal gathering which followed
commented on the growth Of the
College, which is evidence of the
fact that it is doing good and the
people are appreciting it. The
speaker told of a plan for the de-
velopment Of the college, which it
is hoped to carry out. Additional
buildings are to be erected and the
scope of the college increased.

thus limited to white residents of

free except Dover which charges
fifty cents year to borrowers out

TO those who doubt the efficacy
of a free library in the village or
small town these figures surely
ought to remove any lingering fear
as to it's community value. There
is however one point, Mr.. Editor,
to which | wish to call your atten-
ton particularly, having in mind
the pathetic Johnny Coldroom. !"
Newark opens it's library a greater
number of hours than any of the
others, although this time includes
only one evening. The Seaford
Library is open one afternoon and
one evening a week, so though his
books would be free the poor cold
room boy would have to find other
places in which to read them the
other six nights. Dover does bet
ter for him in having open hours
three nights a week and three after
Moons as we'll.
] have made no investigation
into the financial resources and ex-
penditures of these libraries, as
that seemed something which would
be more suitable for a library COM
mission to undertake. These could
be tabulated and compared with
those of Newark.
, 1t is only after a dispassionate
survey and judgment of the facts
} presented without any partizan
5 bias, that the people of the town
5 can satisfactorily decide whether a
Free Library can be maintained. i
{ with the same or trife more/ex,
pense as that now incurred by the
Town Library the percentage OF
9 users can be increased as my fig
= ures seem to show there would ap
{ pear to be no ground for hesita
