CONTROL DANGEROUS DRIVERS

1t can be appreciated that no mat
ter where the community is. the effort
which is directed to the reduction Of
the number of people killed in tlse
streets is properly undertaken. In the
city of New York there is daily evil
dence Of reckless and inconsiderate
driving, and thousands of adults and
children are either killed or injured as
the result. The situation was bad
enough before automobiles became so
numerous but it has. steadily grown
worse until it is shown py the record
of last year that of the 1S4 school
children killed in the streets of that
city there were ITO of them who lost
their lives through being struck by
motor driven vehicles while nearly
5000 others were injured in the same
a1anner.
Facing such conditions it is not sur
prising that Police Commissioner
Woods is making an earnest effort to
improve the situation. There needs to
be rigid enforcement of the laws
concerning street traffic, and there is
of course the responsibility imposed
upon each individual to exert every
effort to look after his own safety. but
| the necessity nevertheless remains OF
| placing the proper amount of restraint
| upon that class of reckless drivers
| who care nothing for the consequences
| so long as they escape with a fine and
are permitted to repeat as often as
they are seized with the desire.
Having analyzed the situation Com.
missioner Woods has reached the con.
clusion that all auto drivers, whether
| owners or not, should be required t.
secure a license, which would make i
possible to deny the privilege of driv.
ing to all the reckless handlers of cars
To this there ought to be no seriou!
objection. Those who are careful havt
nothing to fear from it and for tn,
safety of the public the dangerous
drivers ought to be eliminated as sool
as possible.

Woodland FIRES

It is at this season of the year many
warnings are issued for the purpose
of preventing the great loss which is
annually rolled up by forest fires be-
cause of the great amount of care
lessness among those who start fires
accidentally or Intentionally. 1t only
requires a little thought and consid-
Grafton for others, even if ones own
interests are disregarded. to guard
against the loss of valuable timber or
the destruction of other property.
Forest fires burned over almost
100000 acres of national forest land
during -he past year, resulting in a
timber loss of 156,OO0,0O0 board feet
valued at $4,000. Besides the timber
loss, fires destroyed reproduction, or
young tree growth. of an estimated
value of 100000 besides several thou
sand dollars worth of forage.
The study as to the cause of these
fires is an interesting one, for while it
is shown that over a quarter of them,
or to be exact, % IL per cent. were
caused by lightning the remainder for
the most part came under the prevent
able class, though with many sub di-
visions. Campers We're responsible for
il per cent. Eleven per cent. were
caused by brush burning and almost as
many were of incendiary origin. Rail-
roads were responsible for nine per cent
numbering operations caused less than
three per cent, while the causes OF
10 per cent. were unknown.
That these figures would hold good
off the forest reserves is doubtful fol
conditions are bound to vary where To-
calities are more thickly settled, where
there are more railroads and where
there IS more trespassing, but in either
instance there can be no question bu
what if there was increased attention
given to preventing woodland fires
there would he a material reduction il

waste

TIE PROTECTION IS NEEDED.

Strange as it may seem there are
apparently as strong influences at
work in Washington against the pass
age of the Heating Owens child labor
bill as have appeared on previous oc-
casions when such legislation was
being urged.
Although the claim of two women,
that they voiced the sentiment of 100,-
600 when they opposed the measure,
has been strongly protested by 600
women, members of both state and ma
tionaI congress Of mothers, and rep
Fesenting all the clubs in and around
Philadelphia, it is difficult to believe
that the senate committee would be
Bwayed from a just consideration of
such an important proposition by any
such a sided statement as the I'M
supported declaration of two witnesses.
The storm of protest which such a
statement has brought is sufficient to
demonstrate that they did not repre-
sent the organizations which they pro-
fessed to.

Stories of the War
100000 Women Working in Berlin.

100000 Women Working in Berlin.
Nearly 100000 women are now at
one kind Of work or another in Ber-
lin. They have swarmed into almost
every field OF activity, no matter how
difficult: they are earning more money
than they ever had before: many have
lost their own bread winners and are
for all time depedent upon their own
efforts. The probable unwillingness Of
the women TO go back 10 their homes
after the war is being more and more
anticipated by the labor leaders who
say the women must go in favor OF the
men when the time comes
BY far the largest proportion OF the
women now employed in Berlin are
unskilled workers-perhaps 100000 OF
skilled workers, only a small part are
customarily so employed They have
done wonderfully well, even in such
difficult and strenuous occupations as
metal workers but they are not, be-
cause OF phsical handicaps, the equal
OF their male predecessors
Just how large will be the number
of widows, or OF women left with Grip
pied husbands. after the war. the labor
leaders do not attempt as yet TO esti-
mate. These. on the one hand, consti-

HURTING OUR SHIPPING EVERY
DAY

Even though the conditions which
have been imposed by the seamen's
law have been passively met in many
instances because of the situation
which exists in shipping circles today,
where there are by no means enough
vessels to handle the goods awaiting
transportation, it is impossible to over
look the handicaps which are con-
stantly being encountered.
The effect is being felt on both
coasts. Vessels have been held up I'M
til they complied with the new re-
quirements and in some instances 1t
has meant the transferring of the bus
mess which would ordinarily be car
ried in American bottoms to those of
other nations. This is particularly
true on the Pacific coast, where if the
existing law is maintained there prom
Uses to be slight encouragement for
capital of this country to invest in
steamship lines which intend to carry
the American flag.
Japan is of course getting the bene-
fit of this country's legislation. Not
only is that country giving the encour-
agement that might be expected to the
development of it's shipping but Japan
csc capital is being invested in the
American ships which are being en-
barrassed by the legislation of the
country whose flag they have been
flying. Business is also being divert
ed to British Columbian ports which
would ordinarily be handled through
ports Of this country, so that the ben
eft which is being obtained from
| the seamen's law is puny in compari-
son with the harm which is being done
| The detrimental features of the La
| Toilette measure have not just beer
! discovered but there has been toe
great a delay already in revoking

BELGIAN FLAG DAY.

Il doesn't make much different from
what part of Europe the plea comes.
there are good reasons for believing
that the people are in need of all the
assistance that is being asked. Mil
lions have been sent from this coun-
try to aid the destitute and relieve the
suffering brought about by the war.
This country has generously respond
ed to the demands which appear to
ne endless, but from the manner in
which the idea. of having the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution take
the initiative in raising a fund for
succoring the destitute women and
children of Belgium and northern
France has been received. it is evident
that interest in such humanitarian
work has by no means reached the
stagnation stage.
Thus it can be expected that the eff
fort which has been undertaken by
this organization Of raising a million
dollar fund for this admirable purpose
will succeed. AS an added inspira-
ton to this campaign which takes the
form of a Belgian Flag day there is
the fact that it has been fixed for the
birthday anniversary of King Albert OF
Belgium which falls today.
That this help is deserved is shown
by the statement of the Commission
sor Relief in Belgium which declares
that the need of aid for the people
IF that country is as great as ever
and it is a fact with which most peo-
pie are acquainted that if there was
ever a people who needed the financial
assistance Of friends it is those oil
devastated Belgium. The undertaking
has been launched without extensive
preparations but the cause is sufficient
TO make it a decided success.
