extremely to have to suggest that there

service regulations in making these Sc

| the Secretary of the Treasury to be

| because the contests for these positions
are. of course, eliminated. and when
the discretion is left to the Secretary
| 1t really is very difficult.
But 1 do not see any way to enect

the power to make the appointments

request. to put in provision similar
to that contained in the income tax
bill. that after a certain period of time
| the civil service regulations should ap-
ply, and that these people should be
covered into the service"
Amendments Quickly Approved
Amendments made by the Senate COM
mite involving many millions of dollars
| were agreed to without debate. Little
opposition except on a few amendments
was expected and leaders hoped to pass
the bill before adjournment this even

At the request of the administration
the Senate adopted a substitute for the
more than 100000 men. Of the appro-

Drivers More at Fault.

when we consider the great num-
ber of accidents happening between
vehicles and the fewness of those vehi-
cles when compared to the great pedes-
trian population Washington now has.
it certainly appears that the drivers
are more at fault than the pedestrians"
Mr.. Peabody calls on pedestrians as
we'll as vehiclists to cooperate. The
Safety First Association comprises both
automobilists and pedestrians. and dur
ing its existence has persistently en-
deavored to educate all the people to
their individual responsibilities in the
matter Of safety first. The association
has held, as has Mr.. Peabody. that all
must cooperate to obtain the best re-
suits. If education is not successful
in bringing about desired results, said
Mr.: Peabody. the law should be rigidly
enforced.
We do not need any new laws" said
Mr.. Peabody today. I'VE have enough
laws-maybe we have too many. But
these laws should be rigidIy enforced.
The judges in our courts might do
their bit by giving the heaviest sem
tenees when driver is found to be
reckless of the rights and lives of
others.
