Enforce the Regulation Against
Glaring Headlights
By BILL PRICE.

II is good time for immediate campaign by the
traffic squad OF the Police Department against garng head
lights on automobiles This regulation should not only be
enforced at once but traffic officers should continue making
arrests until this dangerous practice broken up
Those drivers who take advantage of darkness to defy
the law do not deserve any consideration The unfarest
headlight Drivers who careful and do the right thing
are at great disadvantage in the darkness against deb
crate violators of the law If drivers going in opposite
directions would consistently dim their lights approach
of machines, accidents would be mnimzed The driver
whose face is flooded with the intensely garng light of
approaching machine is practically helpless and may drive
into pedestrians into serious trouble Pedestrians have
been killed this way while walking along roads streets
believing that the oncomng driver could and avoid
them.
Every driver in control of his another
chine approaching and easily dim his light in sufficient
time that both drivers safely pass each other and guard
against hitting pedestrian, striking post running into
a ditch.
The automobilst who will not do this is deliberately
nconsiderae of others thoughess that his mind
real light if he be arrested several times and compelled
to pay well for his ofense Downright and the
hogging of roads should be severely punished
If Congress does pass traffic laws for the District
these should include provisions for sufficient money for Dis

can't for drivers license not only investigating his knowl
edge of traffic laws but his sight, hearing and reputation

all persons to whom licenses issued that future licenses
be denied those who have shown themselves unworthy

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlhfAA.
am one OF the many girls here
from out-of-town and, due to some
lack of charm U know not whao
my men friends are very few and
far between.
My roommate and I had never
visited Glen Echo Park" and as
all the girls at the office seemed
SO very impressed with it, We de-
cided II would be a nice trip for
Sunday. / have never. and 1 hope
1 never shall spend such q miser-
able evening again. without ex-
aggerstion we couldn't take half a
dozen steps without being inter-
rupted by would-bc men. and when
we refused to notice them the re-
marks passed were terrible.
Was 1t wrong for two girls to 60
to the park" without escorts? 1t
seems a great pity to me, that 1t has
become so of late. that a self-re-
speoting girl is unsafe at any time
and any place.
Not one Of the many men who
approached us were the much
talked Of cake eaters" but men
who ought to have sense.

think you are overstating the
situation when you say a girl is
unsafe" Annoyed, yes, but not
in any particular danger if she
quickly shows these male firts
that she isn't interested in their
overtures. / believe that girls
should feel free to 60 about as
they choose without escorts. 1t
would be sorry commentary on
our present civilization II we had
to feel that girls could go any
where with any old kind OF male
escort but were doomed to stay at
home IL inclination did not hap
pen to turn toward men.
or course the real fact Of the
situation probably was that these
young men who tried to make
your acquaintance had gone TO
the park by themselves, just as
you and your girl friend had-be-
cause they had not been able to
find any congenial girls to take
with them. Naturally 1t was a
Temptation to make the effort to
get to know you. Then, again,
so many girls 20 to parks and
places OF amusement in twos and
threes for the sole purpose of
scraping up an acquaintance with
men that all girls who go unes-
oorted are apt to come under the
same category. Men are very poor
Judges when II comes to flirting
and Il isn't until they are snubbed
that they realize they have ap-
preached the wrong girl. Their
intuition never seems to help them
separate the sheep from the goats.
Then, too, their egotism carries
them a long distance. It's hard
TO convince any man that all girls
are not eager to get the chance to
know him.
