Cities of Dreadful Streets. :"

The health commissioner of the City of New
York undertakes to give Gotham clearance from
the charge that its streets are unnecessarily
dangerous by showing that in other communi-
ties more people are killed in proportion by
automobiles than there. His compilation of fig
ures is an indictment of American carelessness
and disregard for human life that is shocking.
Omaha is not included in his tabulation, but
that does not mean that this city is entirely i'm
mune. Los Angeles heads the list with rate
OF 39l fatal accidents per million of population
for the year 1920. Pittsburgh is next, with 332,
and New York tails the list, with 166 Taking
the population of New York at its claim of
100000 for 1920, this means that over 900 lives
are crushed out each year by automobiles there.
Such toll is beyond reason. Death from an
auto is invariably attributable to carelessness,
and therefore is avoidabe. This applies to
Omaha as we'll as to New York Reckless driv-
ers are the menace, and their presence is as
much OF danger to the careful driver as to
anyone else. The driver who proceeds without
due regard for the rights of others, who does
not exercise at all times the prudent watchful-
ness that is essential to safety, is responsible for
American communities becoming cities of
dreadful streets. A speed demon on the streets
is potential murderer, and deserves to be dealt
with that basis.

Courses in Matrimony.

The proposal of a Chicago Judge that
courses in matrimony be added to the public
school curriculum partially discloses a vista
along which the imaginative man may well
hesitate to proceed. Just how it proposed to
anticipate the various things that young folks,
and old ones, too, must learn when engaging in
the uncertainties of conjugal undertakings will
stagger the experienced. Perhaps that word
uncertainty should be modified Nothing can
be more certain than the outcome of mar
riage; if all goes well, and the partners are well
balahccd, it will run along to the happiest of
conclusions while if either is out of line with
the other no doubt attends prognostication of
the finish So marriage holds none of the
element of chance.
All the advice that ever has been or could
be given as to what to look out for and what
to do in the selection of mate is wasted on the
man or woman, no matter what the age, when
the urge to matrimony manitests itself A hen
who persists in setting may sometimes be cured
by immersion, but usually she will con-
scientiousy devote herself to the carrying out
of her sublime intent, even to nesting over
nest filled with dornicks or doorknobs. SO it
runs through all animate nature, male or fe-
male. What effect prescribed course of study
could have ON such an impulse eludes even
speculation.
Matrimony has been practiced for long
time under rules that have developed as the
game went on, yet none of them departing very
widely from the fundamental fact that two ind-
vduals of opposite gender feel, or imagine they
do an attraction one to the other. That is the
spark that fires the train, and the history of the
race supplies ample proof that it is a pretty safe
plan to go BY A course in matrimony is we'll
enough, but it is better obtained in school
from which there are no graduates sent out.

Family Singing

why" asks a contemporary writer. do so
few parents nowadays sing either to or with
their children" She goes on to urge revival
of this fine old custom.
Perhaps, as she suggests, the phonograph,
with its mfsic-making facilities, or the automo-
bile and the movie, forever dragging people
from their homes, or jazz with its exotic and
difficult cadenees, have driven the old sweet airs
and the habit Of family singing from the Ameri-
can homes.
Old hymns of noble verse and nobler music
beautiful old ballads in setting of simple but
perfect melody, are valuable part Of the equip
nent of any life and memory. Every little
while music of real merit is produced which
should be added to the collection as pearls are
added to string.
Home in which such songs are sung, homes
in which fathers and mothers sing such songs
first to and then with their children, are among
the greatest influences of civilization. More i'm
portant than the songs or the singing is the
habit instilled in early life of finding pleasure lin
habit instilled in early life of finding pleasure in
home itself-Concord Monitor.

Stopping a Treasury Leak.

The order OF Charles G. Dawes, director of
the federal budget, hating sales of government
property and supplies until centralized machin-
cry for disposng of them can be set up may
add a good deal to the initial saving of $112-
O00,000 which previously has been announced
as result of the budget system. Steel, cement,
lumber, furniture, foodstufs, clothing, ships, au-
tomobiles, buildings and many other articles Of
war equipment have been peddled by dozens of
un-co-ordnated government bureaus. During
the previous administration it was alleged that
material sold by one department had afterwards
been bought back by another, with handsome
profits for the enterprsing middleman Hardly
any taxpayer will doubt that much of this ma
teral has been sold at prices far below its actual
value. although this advantage in few cases was
passed on to the ultimate consumer.
As Brgadier General Dawes, the budget di-
rector served on the staff of General Pershing
being chairman of the purchasing board and
general purchasing agent for the American Ex-
peditionary Force. Later he was member of
the allied purchasing board and of the allied
liquidation commission. He knows what some
OF these things cost, and he must be amazed at
what they have brought Creation OF a central
sales board ought to stop big leak in the
treasury.

Caught in His Own Trap.

An Iowan, intent on settling prowers, fitted
up shotgun trap so that when basement door
was opened the load would be discharged. Then
forgetting all about the deadly device, one fine
morning he walked careessly into the cellar
and received charge of shot from which he
probably will die.
This is far from being the first time gun
trap has caught the man who set it. Not long
ago an Omahan died from device of this sort
which he had installed in his chicken coop.
Lapse of memory is so likely thing when ac-
tions that are matters of habit are concerned
that these traps for thieves are always danger
Gus to the men who set them. One who has
gone each day to the cellar or to the chicken
yards falls into doing so almost automatically,
without the exercise of thought.
Innocent persons who know nothing of the
trap also are endangered. A child or a neigh
Dor could be made victim without being
guilty of any evil intent, for the gun set to go
off when the door opens and pulls the trigger

Planning for the Conference.

Quite as interesting as the Japanese attempt
TO secure omission OF Far Eastern questions
from the program for the Washington confer
ence is the insstence of Premier Hughes of
Australia that a preliminary pact be framed
in London, before the big show opens.
Hughes frankly states that Australia will not
consider disarmament until the Pacific disputes
are settled. These include the Shantung and
Yap questions which Japan insists settled
by the Treaty Of Versailles and the mandate
given by the League of Nations
Here is the making OF a nice little dispute,
one that can not help but shock those ardent
advocates Of disarmament who had convinced
themselves that all that stood in the way was
lack OF agreement among the great nations to
disband their armies and sink their navies. With
the United States committed to the "open door"
in China and Japan opposed; with the Yap dis
pute unsettled, disarmament sinks to second
place as between the two powers. Willingness
to discuss these questions, and to secure an
amicable adjustment resting on fundamentals
and not on the selfish interest of one or the
other parties, characterizes the approach of the
United States. Mr.. Hughes letters, one with
reference to the oil in Mesopotamia and the
other concerning the Yap mandate, left no
doubt as to the intention of the United States to
stand firmly for its rights and those of other
nations. Japan's attitude has all along lacked
the element of frankness; bullying at Pekng,
yielding at Paris, and evading at Washington,
the government at Toxic is open to suspicion
that it now seeks an undue advantage.
Any preliminary agreement at London is
unnecessary; the United States may or may not
take part in trpartite understanding with
England and Japan but if at ALL it will be on
basis quite different from that underlying the
Anglo Japanese treaty, renewal of which is
sought by the Japanese, but has met serious
opposition i'll England and generally through
out the empire. At Washington cards will be
laid on the table, face up. and the nations en-
gagged will deal openly with the facts as we'll
as the policies, SO that any compact there en-
tered into will have binding effect all. Con-
ditions, not theories, will undoubtedly govern,
to the end that hopes of men will not be lifted
UP only to be dashed, but that some progress
may be made in the direction towards the goal
which now fills the eyes of all right thinking
people, of peace on earth and harmony and
concord among the nations.

A Girl Sncnks Ont.

Omaha, July 19.-To the Editor
of The Bee: This editorial Is on
three things: The street car fare
bathing suits and that Mrs. Smith
Wilkinson, who spent so much
money in Paris.
The street car company wants 10
raise the fare. They have no right
to do so. For cents we got better
service than we are now getting Tor
7 cents. Why are they sticking TO
the skip-stop system? The war Is
over and prices are coming down
slow but sure. The officials OF the
company aren't starving to death,
neither are their employees. They
were making money at scent fares.
Why should the fare raise? Other
cities fare is coming down.
Women seem to get the blame for
everything. Why don't people talk
about men wasting money on to-
bacco and so forth instead Of raw
ing about women using costumes?
Why should woman wear any more
bathing suit than a man does? II
a woman must wear tWo-plece
bathing suit why shouldn't the men?
Men cause more trouble than wom-
en- ever could. If the men weren't
bad the women couldn't be. / hope
they (the men) get their reward.

with a very abbreviated suit on l

Freight Rates Must Come Down.

East OF the Mississippi river is a demand for
hay that can not be fully met under the present
costs Of transportation. In contrast to this
shortage is the accumulation of hay which can
not be shipped without loss greater than if it
were burned. The Omaha Hay exchange is
authority for the statement that there are thou
sards of tons OF hay throughout Nebraska car
ricd over from last year thu ough inability to
market it prohtably, and the statement is made
that some meadows have been burned over
rather than cut. In face of this situation which
piuches the prairie farmer here and the dairy
farmer Of the east alike, it is clear that freight
rates on this commodity must be reduced
Marketing hay, it is pointed out, IS not merely
matter OF getting it to Omaha, for from here
it has to be shipped on, great deal having been
sent to New York and to southern states when
rates were lower. A milk producer in New
Jersey recently wrote to Omaha for prices on
hay and after comparing prices found that he
could get alfalfa from California, shipped by
water through the Panama canal for $o ton
less at any Atlantic port This difference in
price represented the difference in freight costs
by water from California and by land from Ne
braska.
It appears from this that not only are the
inland farmers at disadvantage, whether they
live in Nebraska or Ohio but that the railroads
themselves are gradually losing vast amount
of traffic through stubborn and ill-advsed rlain-
tenance OF rates. Freight charges on farm
products must come down.

Mrs. Wilkinson spent money thick
and fast, but l don't see where she
contributed any fortunes TO the

crippled soldiers. The United states
better shut its doors to that fool
ish woman. We need no lessons
from her. She Is probably crazy.
