: A man II commemorated today
: whose death, self-inhicted, marked
. and emphasized devotion to q prin-
hciple. Many thousands Of Americans
/. of Irish blood or Irish sympathy all
. over the land and here at the capital
are now paying tribute Of honor to
his memory.
This mans self sacrifice. even to
death by slow starvation, has grnped
the worlds attention and focused It
upon the unhappy state Of Anglo
Irish relations. It throws vivid light
upon the character Of the civil war
Z into which Ireland and the rest Of
Great Britain are drifting. In the cap
ital Of the United States thousands of
men and women today parade and
gather in mass meeting to protest
against the death of MacSwiney, to
protest against British domination Of
: Ireland and to renew their faith in, and
to offer their prayers for. the ultimate
Independence OF the people Of Ireland.
'q Perhaps the most impressive Of all
the ceremonies at Washington was the
celebration yesterday at the Catholic
University Of a solemn high mass of
: requiem for the soul Of TerrSnoe Mac
SWiney.

slight ache in your legs. You say
you are beginning to catch" q cold.
You do not know exactly what you
may be catching" but that is what
you say. You wonder what you shall
do to stop it. One immemorial "cure"
for colds is much too expensive to be
tried any more. And, at that. it really
never cured a cold, except one Of the
Imagination.
You shudder to think Of getting into
a sizzling hot bath, wrapping up in
blankets and drinking hot lemonade.
That is too much Of good thing. 1t
makes one uncomfortable. But there
is a better way, a more pleasant way,
q less drastic natural treatment. Just
put your feet into the old hot foot
bath. about half way up to your knees.
Cover yourself with blankets. very
snugly, then get the paper or a book,
and enjoy yourself, while the water
gets hotter and hotter. When you have
got enough, out come your feet. a
splash Of cold water over them, and a
rub with the towel. Then to bed. where
your feet win glow like twin furnaces
for the remainder Of the night. Let
us not forget our good old friend in
time Of need, the homely, humble hot
foot bath.

regulations through disobedience, IN
dinerenee or ignorance. 1t may be
that the board having in charge the
WORK Of revising the present regula-
lions or formulating a new system Will
bring into being a set of rules for
preventing accidents, but even that
system cannot be effective unless the
rules arc observed and rule breakers
punished
The Motor Cwps Of tho Homo De-
fense League promises much useful
mesa The Home Defense Motor Corps
has been organized as an auxiliary
Of the police department, having as
ono Of its objects cooperation to en-
force obedience to traffic rules. At the
hast account tho enrolment Of the
Motor CORPS was $50 and it would
seem that its membership ought to
grow.
The superintendent Of police has
lately issued a warning which seems
to be Of special interest to pedestrians.
Pedestrians should observe care in
crossing streets, but many do not. The
most careful and considerable driver
Of a machine is often put to it" to
prevent hitting a pedestrian who seems
determined to walk into danger. Those
who cross a street and are too absorb
ed in thought or In converse to see
or hear an approaching car are very
numerous.
Maj. Gessford warns against jay
walking. That is, crossing the streets
diagonally or even at right angles
between crossings. But he says "the
element Of contributory negligence on
the part Of the pedestrian does not
absolve the driver of the primary re-
sponsibility." Pointing to the danger
Of automobiles. the major, with some
national statistics before him, says:
THE automobile is the most deadly
weapon in the hands Of man. It has
been estimated that automobile fatal
tiles are now occurring in this coun-
try at the rate Of $4,000 a year-41
every "a hours-an average of about
1 every IS minutes

Pay Taxes on Time.

There Is no good reason why real
estate taxes should not be paid as they
fall due. Taxes are one of the GER
tainties of life and there has not been
found any way to avoid them. The
longer they are overdue the higher
they are. Nearly all persons who may
be classed as thrifty pay their taxes
On time and thus save the payment Of
la penalty Of I per cent a month, or
II per cent per annum, which as every
body must realize is a heavy cost for
deferring payment Of a bill that must
be met If one is to continue in the own.
ership Of real estate standing in his
or her name. Defer the payment of
ones taxes too long and to the bill
will be added the costs Of advertising
and redemption.
1t has been suggested by officials
Of the District that heavier penalties
for lax payment or non-payment of
taxes should be levied, the main idea
not being to collect more money from
property owners, but to reduce the
number of property owners who do not
pay their annual real estate taxes
within the period allowed.
Punctual payment Of taxes saves
money to the taxpayer and makes for
economy in the. administration Of the
government of the District. The time
Of the personnel Of the tax department
would be saved, much bookkeeping
and accounting would be eliminated
and the expense Of advertising the tax
sale, selling the property at tax sale
and redeeming it would be cut down
It IL said on Official authority that eff
the penalty for non-payment were in.
creased On a sliding scale, according
to the number Of months the bill is
}overdue. the revenues Of the city would
not only be kept up to date, but the
collectors Office would be partly re.
lieved from the amount Of work in
volved In carrying a largo volume Of
property over from year to year, SELL
ing it for taxes and later handling the
task of redeeming it for the original
owners"
