BUYS A LIBERTY BOND
WITH CHRISTMAS SAVING
To Be Present for a Mother Whose
Two Sons Are Going
to War.

A new angle was given to the liberty
bond buying today when one young
woman, employed in government de-
partment, who has joined Christmas
Saving Club visited the bank where she
is making her deposits and asked to
have a liberty bond bought with her
funds upon which she will continue
to pay until the time expires for the
Christmas saving account.
This young woman said: II have been
saving this money to give my mother a
nice Christmas present l hoped there
would be enough SO 1 could also do
something worth while for my two
brothers. Now, one of the brothers
is with the National Guard and the
other has been drafted. I know of no
better way to provide for my mother
than by putting away s100 in trust for
her with the government. This will be
drawing good interest for her and will
be something she can depend on. now
that my brothers have gone away"
This young woman was SO much
pleased with her plan that she has en-
couraged several of her friends to au-
thorize that their Christmas savings be
applied upon liberty bonds.

URGES PEDESTRIANS
CR0SSAT CORNERS
Lieut.. HeadIey Of Traffic Squad
Believes Street Accidents
Would Be Lessened.

Lieut.. Albert J. Headley. head Of the
of the adoption of law requiring pc
destrians to cross at right angles at
street intersections in the congested
districts, as was recommended by q
coroner's Jury at an inquest held at the
morgue Saturday.
Washington should have such q law
by all means" said the lieutenant this
morning. "and compliance with it
would be the means of preventing
many street accidents that otherwise
are bound to occur.
"In such instances" he added, 'the
pedestrian does just what an approach
There Is no more reason why a pedes-
trian should do the unexpected and
jeopardize the liberty of motorist
than there is for the motorist to jeop-
ardize the life of the pedestrian"
Explains Present Danger.
The lieutenant explained that motor
list moving along the street at lawful
rate of speed might suddenly be con-
fronted by a pedestrian. between inter
sections. and be unable to prevent
striking him. Then the police would
have to take action and the motorist
might be deprived Of his family asso-
which would not have happened had
there been law on the statute books
requiring pedestrians to cross at inter-
sections.
Such law is on the statute books of
some other cities. it is stated. Memphis,
Tenn. being one of the cities to en-
force It,
NO matter who violates that ordi-
nance" said a resident of Memphis. "he
is promptly arrested and hned. Police
there play no favorites. and because of
It's strict enforcement very few acci-
dents happen in which automobiles and
pedestrians are concerned"
Lieut.. Headley is pleased with the
manner in which people are responding
to the various suggestions that have been
made in the campaign to reduce the
number of accidents and make the
streets safer. He said many persons
stop members of the traffic squad and
question them about various provisions
OF the laws, indicating. he stated, that
the campaign is bearing fruit

This argument has been combated by
officials and by the press with the con-
tention that such a program would help
impress the German people with the fact
that the policy of their government had
impaired the standing Of Germany among
nations. and that Gernany's prestige
could be restored only by a reorganiza-

The former viewpoint seems to find
expression, for the first time. in an
