:. great deal of good will undoubt-
edly result from the traffic agitation
and study now being instituted by
many citizens and the police depart
ment.
Publicity and agitation are good
because they cause people to think.
but the permanent result Of any such
movement will be lost until actual
corrective steps are taken for the
traffic evils which seem to have over
taken this city.
In looking over the traffic problem
of Washington there seem to be five
big measures that should be imme-
diately adopted; the others, the minor
ones, will follow along after the big
principles have become workable.
These are: A traffic court, CEN
tralized traffic squad. more policemen.
especially more motorized policemen;
a campaign of education for the walk
ing public of the city and strict rules
in regard to the issuance of operators
permits.
The three most important of these
five are undoubtedly more policemen,
education for the walking public and
mobile drivers.
-
The traffic rules of this city. with few
exceptions, are acknowledged to be up
to date. workable and fair to the motor
ist, so that the many accidents are due
to the inadequate police department,
which is unable to enforce the regula-
tiOns now written.
For this reason Washington breeds a
large number of reckless drivers who
have no fear whatever of arrest. They
know that the motor cycle men on the
force are few and stationed at widely
separated intervals, and take particular
care to go by those stations at a mod
crate rate of speed. When once out of
the danger zone and into the zone Of
bicycle policemen and footmen. the
speed increases and the first thing that
happens is a serious collision with
another automobile; most probably one
of the careful drivers Of the city. or the
manning or killing of pedestrians.
Now if the entire city was danger
zone. that is, a zone Of motor policemen.
there would be an instant stoppage of
minute the reckless one might look back
and find a "cop" near the rear Of his
car with every intent and purpose of
catching him. Sounds reasonable,
uoesn't it?
From Peoestrians' Angie.
Now for the other side of the ques-
tion-the pedestrian. On any COM
mittee which is studying traffic there
should be. in the writer's opinion. an
equal number of pedestrians and
automobilists. This is not often the
case: either the pedestrian element or

Il have been through almost the

I've had to answer this question !:
why do we need an army when there
is no war? Why, indeed?
Does a man wait until his house

NOVELTIES FOR
FIDDLERS' MEET
Capt. Stewart Tells Of
Some Of Fridays
Features

Two brothers playing one fiddle at
the same time is one of the novel
ties to be offered at the old time
fiddlers' convention at the court
house Friday night of this week un-
der the auspices Of Camp Sumter,
United Confederate Veterans, the
entertainment to be a benefit affair
for the camp. Capt. Joe Day Stew
art, adjutant Of Camp Sumter, who
is arranging the DEATHS of the affair,
today gave out d statement on some
of the interesting features of the
evenings performance, as follows:
The quill blower will be here with
his quilts and will give a fine per-
formance. He will challenge any
one to dance with him the old timey
dances. This man is 65 years old, but
you could not tell it by the way that
he acts. You cannot afford to miss
this, for it alone is worth the price
charged. 1t will make you think of
years ago when your father and
mother were just a small boy and
girl.
There will be fiddling bv old timers
who know how to use the bow. They
VIII play pieces that are hundred
years old and older. You older folks
cannot afford to miss this as it will
bring back memories of long, long
ago when you would go to the old
timey dance and sit up all night and
have good time dancing. You
should bring out the young folks to
hear the music of the times when
you were young so that they may
know what kind of music was really
the best of all.
There will be two brothers who
will play one fiddle at the same time.
One will use the strings while the
other one will use the bow. Those
who have not seen this do not think
it can be done. Come out and see
for yourself how it is done.
"The two little boy fiddler will be
present again with their fiddles.
These boys are just twelve years old
and they sure know how to use the
fiddle"

Carswell drug store. Only as many
