It looks as though It Is going to be a
hot finish; in fact. it is yet anybody's
race.
Tomorrow night will see the closing
of the ten-day war savings and thrift
stamp selling contest which is being
conducted under the auspices OF The
Star and which carries with it twenty
cash prizes aggregating $500. Every
carrier is running on high speed now.
r. G. Spiker. who has been con-
tender for several days sold $1,000
worth of stamps yesterday and came

day amounted to $1o.950. making to-
tai since the commencement of the con-
test of $59.620. In fact. the business at

Where are those Wall street boys?
Everybody has been looking to see
Postman Ashford, whose route is on
and H street and Postman Mccoy, who
works G street between 14th and 18th,
get up among the leaders in the con-
test. Because of the financial atmos-
phere Of the routes of these two mail
men, 1t is naturally supposed that they
would sell a ton of stamps daily.
/. Thomas z. Clifford, a colored letter
carrier who figured among the leaders
up until the last two days. ran across
an interesting situation regarding war
savings. In a house on his route hot
thrift stamp contest is being waged
by husband and wife. For several
weeks now the couple have been trying
to outdo one another in saving. At the
end of each week the one who has the
most stamps to his or her credit re-
ceives a thrift stamp as a prize.
Clifford is a most devout and enthus-
fastic war savings advocator, and today
said he was much pleased. at the way
the colored people ON his route had
shown their thrift and patriotism by
purchasing stamps. The bulk of his
sales, he says. has been made among
the people of his race.
J. r. Barry, the modest mailman of
Az street and Pennsylvania avenue,
made a timely delivery this morning.
In a letter which he handled was a
check for SIS: which was in payment
for bill due more than six years ago.
The recipient was SO astounded and
pleased that he Immediately turned it

about to make turns. A speed Of six
miles an hour whom street corners are
turned is permitted. he said. and most
of the motorists comply with that re-
quirement. Going at such speed. the
motorist has his car under complete
control. and IL the pedestrian exercises
the care required Of him he is not like
ly to get injured.
Numerous accidents, some Of them
fatal. have occurred in this city the
past few weeks as a result of careless
ness on the part of persons crossing
the streets at places other than on the
designated crosswalks. In such cases. 1t
IS stated, the motorist seldom is held
liable. On tho other, hand, whSn such
accidents ocur wheEA pedestrians have
the right of way, motorists usually are
held.
Attention is directed to that part Of
the law dealing with persons who are
waiting for cars at street intersections,
the law suggesting that they should
stand on the sidewalk or close to the
tracks while so waiting. and should
face the front when alighting from a
car. observe traffic to the right before

rections II crossing behind the car.

Lieut.. Headley. in order to insure
