TO Minimize
STREET ACCIDENTS
Safety First Methods. Discuss
ed at Conference in Maj.
PuIlman's Office.

| Questions relating to safety first
were discussed at conference held in
| the office of Maj. Pullman, superintend-
ent of police, yesterday afternoon.
! Those who participated in the confer
ence with Maj. Pullman were William
| F. Peabody, DR.. L D. Walter, Albert
| E. Shoemaker, A. ]. Driscoll and j.
Clinton Hiatt members of the Safety
First Association.
There was a general discussion about
traffic regulations and the large num-
| Der of street accidents that have oc-
Cured in this city this fall. DR.. Wal
| ter suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
fishing a zone between Pennsylvania
avenue and H street and 9TH and 18th
streets in which pedestrians would be
required to cross at intersections and
not diagonally across the streets be-
tween corners.
Rule for Pedestrians.
DR. Walter said a regulation of that
kind might be adopted which would
make crossing at points other than at
intersections be at the risk of the
pedestrians. He recalled that pedes-
TRANS have the right of way at street
crossings.
Another suggestion made was concern
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of physicians being
furnished tags, to be used when they
are required to make emergency runs in
cases of extreme illness or injury. 1t
was the opinion of those at the confer
ence. however. that such a privilege
probably would be abused and lives Of
pedestrians unnecessarily endangered.
The result of the conference will be told
at meeting of the Safety First Asso-
citation that will be held at Public
Library tonight.
Maj. Pullman has decided to have
Sergt- Shelby of the traffic squad repeat
his traffic lectures that were given in
the public schools two years ago. He
also will deliver them In mercantile
establishments where many drivers of
horses and horseless vehicles are en-
ployed.

In Uncle Sans teetotal navy. Steam
ing hot coffee is always on tap on
board the destroyers when they are
out looking for summaries. The men
say it not only keep them awake but
serves also as stimulant and protec-
tor against the rigorous climatic con-
ditions under which they labor. They
have not yet carried on board ship the
afternoon tea habit which they have
formed ashore and found such a sat
isfactory substitute for the use Of al

The vast majority of the men say
they do not miss the absence of intox-
icating drink on board their ships.
Those who want it can get it ashore
from midday until eight in the even.
ing but for the vast majority the liq-
uor saloons have very little charm.
The record of the men as a whole in
this respect. say their officers, has
been one of the gratifying features of

little to do but walk up and down

good on the most important gains.

weather to blast the way farther in.
Berlin boasts that the entente thrust
failed. This is based on the unwar

was made to break through and upon
the fact that at one or two points
the German reaction gained ad-
vanced positions. In answer the Brit.
ish regained one of these positions
this morning. Despite the hard Fland.
