Washington's Good Record.


Washington is perhaps the only one
Of the large cities of the United States
which succeeded in reducing traffic ac-
cidents during the fiscal year. In spite
CT the tremendous increase in the use OF
motor vehicles in the District, the re-
port says.
Deaths from traffic accidents during
eighty-six in 1918 to seventy-six in
1919, II per cent decrease. There
was a corresponding reduction in the
total number of traffic casualties of
all kinds, including accidents in which
there were serious or minor injuries
or property loss. and accidents in
which there was no serious injury to
persons or property damage. The total
number of accidents of all kinds was
reduced from 5,407 in 1918 to 4.843 in
1919, or more than 10 per cent de-
crease.
Licenses issued for motor vehicles.
however, increased from 31.271 in
1918 to 1881 in 1919, a gain of 1850.
or more than AZ per cent. In other
| words, with more than AZ per cent
more licensed vehicles on the streets
in 1919 than in 1913 there was a de-
crease of more than 10 per cent in
serious accidents.
Whatever decrease in accidents
there has been is due largely. it is
believed, to the educational campaign
which has been carried on by mem
bers of the metropolitan police both
among individual motorists and
among various associations. Capt.
Headley and Lieut.. Shelby Of the traf-
fic squad, as well as the major and
superintendent, have spoken to vari-
Gus organizations during the year on
the subject of street safety and OBJ
servation of traffic regulations
The talks made by officers of the
traffic branch to chauffeurs and driv-
erS of the Motor Transport Corps of
the Army, of various government de-
partmentS and of large business con-
Germs has resulted in effective Coop
Grafton, and the practice of making
these talks will be carried into the
coming year.
Talks to School Pupils.
Through the cooperation of the
superintendent of schools and the po-
lice department talks on street safety
were made by traffic officers to the
pupils Of all high schools. On June
%. just before the $4,000 children of
the schools went on vacation, $4,000
letters on street safety were dis
tributed simultaneously to each child
in the schools and at the same time
the 100 teachers of the classes made
brief talks on the necessity of the
children taking care Of themselves
when using the streets or at play on
the Fairgrounds during the summer
This new development in street
safety propa ganda was originated in
the metropolitan police department,
and 1t is believed that this year the
plan will bring even better results in
checking the number of preyenta BILE
street accidents.

One part of the report that is regarded
as of especial interest says!
although from the civil service law
Of 1870 has sprung the custom of OPEN
Ing examinations or closing them to
either sex ut the discretion OF the head
Of any department there Is neither rule
nor law for such action. The 1870 statute
reads: Section 1858, Women may In the

~, 1900 The civil service rule requires
that 'certiflcations shall be made with
out regard to sex unless sex is specified
in the request
The report further says:
Earring women or men from any
examination bars them not only from
the special occupation for which the
examination la given, but from all
kindred occupations. All other bu-
reaus, which may require services of
the same or like quality as those
specified in the examination are con-
fined to \ register made up exclusive
" of one sex when the opposite sex
might be as acceptable or preferable;
or they must ask for q special eNami-
nation in which no sex lire is drawn
or they must seek me woman or man
desired among those already in the
government services.
Extends the Restriction.
THE bureau asking for the exami-
nation in the first instance, may, with
out question. require the services of
men only or women only, but by clos
ing the examination to either sex all
other beureaus are restricted in the
choice of service or forced to call for
special examination entailing an ad-
ditional expenditure of time and
money"
More than 100000 women are en-
ployed in scientific or professional
pursuits outside the government serv-
Ice, according to the report: more than
two million women are working in
private manufacturing and mechanical
establishments. and over 100000 are
in clerical occupation in private en-
ploy. Therefore, the report suggests.
the question naturally arises az to
what is the character of the govern
ment work in which women are not
allowed to participate, and the de-
tailed analysis of this phase, with
wages paid. will be the subject of the
forthcoming second section of the re-
