SAFETY IN STREETS
Methods Will Be Discussed by
Association on Satur-
day Night.
HELP OF CITIZENS ASKED

Plans for the campaign which Is to
be conducted in Washington for street
safety. are to be outlined at a meeting
of the special campaign committee of
the Washington Safety First Associa-
ton. to be held Saturday evening at
the home of the chairman. A. J. Dris-
coll. 1919 NJ street northwest
Many methods of preventing street
accidents are to be discussed by the
committee named recently by President
William F. Peabody of the Safety First
| Association. Promotion of safety by
both education and litigation will be
| considered.
One of the features of the campaign
probably will be neighborhood meet
| ings. These will be held. If deemed ad-
visah BILE. in all sections of the city and
every citizen will be urged to cooper
ate in making them successful.
Violators of the traffic laws yester-
day added 1885 to the DiAfict fund as
a result of police activities the day be-
fore. Sixty-six charges were filed
against as many motorists. eixty-fve
defendants being charged with speed
ing and one with colliding. Four cases
were continued and In two cases the
court saw fit to suspend sentence. In
one case the court imposed a fine OF
$50, the largest amount imposed, while
in a number of cases collaterals were
forfeited
TT is very difficult for a motorist to
tour through the city without violating
the speed law" remarked a motorist.
who appeared in Police Court yester-
day. Il have been operating a car the
past several years and not until yes
terday was 1 arrested"
The motorist said he had no fault to
find with the policeman who arrested
him because, he admitted, he was vio-
lating the law. Police officials readily
understand that all violators of the
law are not arrested, and, 1T is stated,
traffic policemen are not supposed to
arrest all who go trif1e beyond the
lawful speed

Reckless Motorist Sought.

TT is the reckless motorist who
should receive punishment" said a
member of the force, land not the man
who unintentionally goes a little be-
yond the limit fixed by law"
And the man who is found under
the influence of liquor running an au-
tomobile through the streets" said a
member of the Safety First Associa-
ton. should have his operators per-
init revoked for all time"
This method of revoking such a per-
init for period of few months does
not accomplish the good that would be
accomplished by revoking it for all
time" the safety first member added
There is absolutely no excuse for a.
motorist INDUCING in liquor when op-
Grating car. and the law should put a
stop to the dangerous practice

HOME READING COURSE
FOR CITIZEN-S SOLDIERS

and accurate description of the posi-
tion of the soldier This paragraph is
slightly paraphrased and simplified in
the description following: Keep in
mind that there are ten elements
which must be properly adjusted to
ach other, and check yourself up to
see that each one of them is properly
placed.
l. Heels-on the~same line and as
near each other as possible: most men
should be able to stand with heels
touching each other.
.. Feet-turned out equally and
forming an angle OF about As degrees.
8, Knees-straight without stiffness.
4. Hips-level and drawn back
slightly; body erect and resting equal
ly on hips.
5. Chest--lifted and arched.
s. Shoulders-square and falling
equally.
I. Arms-Hanging naturally.
s. Hands hanging naturally,
thumb along the seam of the trous-
ers
9. Head-erect and squarely to the
front; chin drawn in so that axis of
head and neck is vertical tmeans that
straight line drawn through the cen-
ter of the head and neck should be
vertiacD eyes straight to the front.
10. Entire body-weight of body
resting equally upon the heels and
balls of the feet.
Note especially that YOU are not re-
quired TO stand in strained attitude.
You are to be alert but not tense.
One of the very best things you can
do today is to spend fifteen minutes
practicing this position, getting it
right Keep this up every day until
you report at camp. In the army. as
in every day life, first impressions
are important. The first impression
You make on your officers and fell
lows will depend, more than you
probably realize. on the manner in
which you stand and walk.
Making Yourself FIT
If you can devote part of your time
between now and the opening of camp
to physical exercise you are fortunate
and should by all means take advan-
tage OF every opportunity. Climbing,
