Speed Is the Cause.
To the Editor of The Star

l have been reading regularly in
The Star of efforts to stop traffic ac-
cidents by establishing traffic courts
and traffic judges. There are laws
and jails to stop murder. Does it
stop it? No. The only way to stop
murder is to deprive men of the
weapons of murder. The only way to
stop traffic accidents is to take away
the weapon..terrific speed. In this
city the people go out on the streets
in fear that some one will run them
down. l have driven five trips over
the road from here over the Rocky
mountains, through all kinds of cities
and towns of various sizes. Nowhere
have l seen such reckless and ter
rife speed as here in the District of
Columbia. 1t seems to me if those
who seek the cause of this evil would
go out on the streets for one day
they would readily see the cause of so
many accidents. Speed. speed, speed!
Why the taxicab drivers should be
granted any special privileges one
cannot see. Every time l go on the
streets l see drivers going from twen-
ty to forty miles an hour. When
something turns up Unexpectedly no
man can stop a machine without an
accident.
Cut down the speed and stop accf-
dents. II. Il. BARR.

Adelphi Garage, at 115 Clifton Place

died an hour or two later. When thcy

Born in 1860, He Studied
Sculpture First, but Re-

Stockholm A ca d c m y
Awarded Many Honors
Won Fame by Depletion
Of Peasant Folk of
His Native COuntr

STOCKHOLM. Aug. 22.-Anders L.
Zorn, the celebrated Swedish painter,
died here to-day. He visited the
United States in 1911. In addition to
his work as an artist, ne was a con-
tributor to the fund to enable Swedish
scientists to pursue their studies in
the United States.
Anders Leonhard Zorn was widely
known both as a painter and as an
etcher. He came of peasant stock and
was born in Mora, Dalarne, in 1860.
AS youth it was his ambition to be-
come a sculptor and with this object
in view he went to the academy IN
Stockholm
During the six years that he spent
there, his purpose underwent change,
and in 1882 he went to London whore
he studied etching with Axel Haig
for three years and did some work OF
merit in water colors. His water
colors were exhibited at the Royal
Academy and at the Royal Society OF
Painters in Water Color.
A medal and the decoration of the
Legion of Honor were awarded to him
in 1887 at the Paris Salon, and the
following year his first oil painting,
''Fishermen From st. Yves was
bought by the Luxembourg Museum. He
received gold medal at the Paris
Salon IN 1889.
He Travelled extensively in Southern
Europe during the early part of his
career, but apparently found no subject
which struck his fancy as did the
peasant folk of his native countryside.
Most of his life was spent at Mora,
his birthplace, and the models for
some of his most striking nudes were
women whose noble carriage was ac
quired by carrying milk pals from
neck yoke.
His portraits won him fame also.
Among them are one of himself in the
Uhizi. one of King Oscar of Sweden, one
Of King Charles of Sweden, "Harald
Wieselgren." "Maja," the "CoQueln
Cadet" Portrait of the Artist" and
THE Toast"
Other famous pictures that he painted
are Baking in Mora" Might Effect
Summer in Sweden" midsummer
Night Dance at Dalecarlia," "Dagmar."
"Matins on Christmas Day" Watering
the Horse" "Nude" and startled"
Some of the best known etchings
are portraits, among them those of
