q NO ACCIDENT.
WEEK PLANNED
BY Rail. WAYS

Complete details for staging NO
Accident Week." June - to 2S, in
elusive, have been decided upon by
the safety representatives of railroads
in the Central Western region, az
cording to announcement from the Of
fees Of the Railroad Administration
today.
H. A Adams, regional supervisor
of safety, has conferred with about
seventy safety officials of the vali-
Gus lines. the meeting having been
held in his office in the Burlington
building.
1t develops that the roads in this
jurisdiction have, in the aggregate,
approximately 305,000 employees and
that each employee is going to be
asked to individually DO his utmost
during period of seven days to keep
from being injured himself or of
being the cause Of injuring a fellow
employee.
Bulletins. rallies, motion picture cX-
hibitS Of an educational nature per
sonal appeals, and many other forms
Of getting into close touch with all
employees will be utilized, and it Is
estimated that before June 22 there
viii be few, if any, railroad workers
in the Central Western region who
will not be "watching his step and
avoiding personal injury.
This movement, covering as 1t does
vast territory and affecting an en-
ormous population Of high class in
dustrial workers, is said to be caus-
ing unusual interest in every city
and town in the West
The No Accident Week was deter
mined upon by Hale Holden, regional
director of railroads who believes
that the cause of safety among rail
road men and the public generally
may receive material impetus as a
result of it.

BERLIN PROTESTS
PROPOSED CHANGE
(By Associated Press J

Berlin, May Is (By maiD-A huge
meeting was held here the other day
to protest against the efforts to strip
Berlin of its status as capital May
or Wermuth and several others paint
ed Berlin as a world city of art, a
city for visitors and city Of the fu-
ture. Despite its present smuttiness,
crime and disorder, they said, Berlin
will regain its reputation as the clean
est, safest and best governed city in
the world. Wermuth said that fur
tier disturbances would bring agony,
and urged all to work to improve CON
ditions.
Sydicus Wilmer admitted that Ber-
lin was never popular, especially in
Germany, and said that Berlin is
considered black sheep among Ger
man cities" He explained that its
position necessitated the presence of
good, bad and Indifferent.
DR.. Max Osborn declared that i'm
perial Berlin had clogged itself with
lonely buildings and senseless monu-
ments. "The real Berlin is hidden be-
hind these pretentious characterless
things, but now there is no barrier
to recreating it as city of art with
out parallel" he said.

slight and of no great artistic merit
No doubt they were produced under
very trying circumstances and condi-
tions not conducive to art. but when
there is SO much talent in France and
when that nation as a whole has so
long taken high rank because of ar
tistic discrimination, it seems rather
unfortunate that these sketches and
drawings should be exhibited in this
country under official auspices as in
any way typical Of French art. 1t is
understood. of course. that these ar
lists were not commissioned to do
this work and that these sketches are
merely, as it were, a by-product OF
soldering. But even so they are now
being exhibited as works of art which
to the public is rather misleading.
There is, perhaps. no artist who has
produced greater war pictures than
