Maj. Pullman, superintendent of po-
lice, believes the campaign to prevent
traffic accidents has been the means
of accomplishing much good, yester-
days record showing only three minor
accidents. One involved damage to
the automobile of Mrs. Victor Muir
dock, 1919 18th street, by No. 7 engine
on it's way to a fire, and another in
volved the striking of Max Wesoosa,
fifty-seven years old, by a street car.
Mrs. Murdocks automobile was at
18th and r streets when the fire ap-
completely demolishing it. The au-
tomobile was unoccupied.
Wesoosa, who lives at 915 8th street
southeast, was cossing Pennsylvania
avenue at I'd street southeast when
he was knocked down and injured.
He was taken to Casualty Hospital,
where physicians said he was not Sc
riously hurt.
A coroner's jury yesterday after
noon decided that the death of Angus
tus Van Deventer, retired business
man of Plainaeld, N j., from injuries
received Sunday, when struck by a
Capital Traction car near Union sta
ton, was accidental. Testimony taken
at an inquest held at the morgue
showed that Mr.. Van Deventer walked
so close to the tracks that the car
struck him while rounding the curve.
The body was taken to Plainfield.

Red Cross also spoke. He told of the
work that the Y. NJ. c. A. had done
for the boys in the front line trenches

TRAFFIC SAFETY
Chauffeurs Approve Proposed

Members Of the Professional Chauf-
feurs' Association, made up of the
men who drive the costly cars owned
by wealthy citizens. whose slogan is
safety First" approve the sugges-
ton Of Assistant Corporation Counsel
Ringgold Hart that operators per-
mits have blanks printed on them
showing if the holder has been ar
rested for violation of the traffic
regulations
These professional drivers say that
such provision would act as a deter
rent to careless, thoughtless and
reckless driving. 1t is pointed out
that when operators of automobiles
know that the police department and
the corporation counseTs Office are
Keeping tab on them there would be
material decrease in the number
Of traffic violations.
Every additional offense following
the first carries with it a heavier
penalty and if an operator was found
to be frequent offender his oper-
ator's permit to run a car on the
streets would be promptly revoked by
the District Commissioners.
Assurance has been given Lieut.. A
by the Professional Chauffeurs' Asso-
citation that they will individually and
collectively do everything in their
power to see that the traffic regula-
tions are enforced by observing the
same and seeing to it that all
offenders who come under their notice

Winter Rain.

The rain pours down by day
and night; it's wet and mostly
water; it makes the world a
sodden sight. it makes my rea-
son totter. 1t looks as though
'twould never cease. or take a
small vacation but it is good
for ducks and geese, and that S
consolation. I'm glad it's not
total loss, this rain so moist
and CALLING: I'm glad that it can
come across with some excuse
for falling 1t makes the town
dismal place. where men all
cuss together; and there's a
scOWl on every face; we sigh
tor brighter weather. The mer-
chant princes in their stores are
far from being sunny; no pa
irons seeks their we'll known
doors to blow in useful money.
No farmers wagons stand
around, the main street is de-
serted we raise a sad and wall
ing sound, and many tears are
squirted. The weather bureaus S
slipped some cogs, against the
peoples wishes; yet rain is
good for snakes and frogs and
divers kinds of fishes. We al
ways should remember this, that
nothing's vain or useless; and
we'd be just as shy of bliss if
days were dry and juiceless. SO
let us dig up gaudy smiles,
eschew the blues and willies; the
rain is good for crocodiles, for
rice and water lilies.

meeting in Liberty Hut last night

up lreland's claim for home rule at

every small nation in Europs but Ire
land was denounced The speakers

MANY JOIN ASSOCIATION.
Georgetown Citizens Enroll Al and
Hear Addresses.

With the membership committee
aiming at 400, the Georgetown Cit
liens Association enrolled forty-one
new members last night in the Poto-
mac Savings Bank building, 32d and
M streets northwest. The association
was organized with 122 members,
which has since increased to 313.
Rev. George Atkinson told of his Y. M.
c. A. work in France. He said that the
charges Of graft and carelessness by
the Y. NJ. c. A were unfounded and
cited the case of young private
whom he had met on the train. The
private was relating with great gusto
the bad treatment he had received at
the hands of the organization. but
when questioned closely it was found
that he had never been out Of this
country.
Frank B. Leech. reporting for the
executive committee. spoke of the
proposed road from Potomac Park to
Rock Creek Park. Joseph A. oliver
of the committee for public improve
ments- said that satisfactory progress
was being made on the Key bridge.

Mr.. Bailey Applauded.

Mr.. Bailey repeatedly drew ap-
plause from the audience during his
address No league of nations which
recognizes the freedom of Poland and
ignores Ireland will be approved by
the people of the United States, he
declared.
Mr.. Bailey answered the argument
that the Irish people are not capable
of self-government by saying:
You may search history back to
the twilight of myth and fable and
you will find no people who have been
more steadfast in their loyalty to the
cause of freedom of nations. My an
swer to the oft-heard fallacy that the
Irish people are incapable of self
government is that they have shown
themselves capable of governing other
countries-why not their own"
The speaker eulogized the MARTYRS
and patriots of Ireland and predicted
that he would live to see an Irish re-
public.
