On Thursday the horse show opens
the annual spring show of the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show. Military
and Amateur Racing Associations, to
give its full and most imposing title
and it ought to be the most success
full show Washington has ever had.
Horses from all over the country are
entered, several new and interesting
classes are on the card and there1l
be lots of interesting visitors here for
horse show week. OF course. that
means a lot OF parties especially for
out-of-town visitors and lot of new
faces at the parties already on the
carpet.
The weeping skies did their best to
spoil several OF last weeks festivities,
notably the outdoor performance of
ssThe Dark Lady Of the Sonnets' and
~Aria da Capo" at Twin Oaks. for
which Mr.. and Mrs. Charles ]. Bell
had sent out invitations and which
had to be twice postponed and which
Il now set for Tuesday evening. and the
garden party out at Mt Alto Hospital,
which had TO be transformed into an in
door tea party. But, fortunately, the two
most important events Of the week
from society's point of view--the
Speaker and Mrs. Gillett's reception
for the vice fTeS1uent ana mrs.
Coolidge and the polo ball-took place
in doors and 1t would have taken
more than the downpour outside to
dampen the spirits Of the guests
within.
And quite regardless of bad wealth
err the first exhibition match ever held
on the White House tennis courts WIS
pulled off on Friday afternoon when
the members of the championship
Davis Cup team were guests of the
President and Mrs. Harding. To be
sure, 1t didn't rain that afternoon, but
It was cloudy and cold and the over
coats and furs of the gallery were IN
piquant contrast to the summary

1t was a most informal sort Cf n
party, but a notable gathering, with
the Secretary of State, the Secretary

and many of the diplomats among
those present" And number of
ladies were brave enough to flout the
elements. Mrs. Edward Beale Nc
lean was with Mrs. Harding. The
matches--one singles and two doubles
were marked by brilliant playing.

SUM MERING IN
WASHINGTON.

Vice President Coolidge has under
consideration an invitation from
Pacific coast this summer, but seems
to think that he Is due to stay on
here-unless Congress takes a longer
recess than seems probable at this
time. 1t seems safe to prophesy also
that so long as Congress is in session

is REELECTED
Home and Education Branch
of WOmen's Department
Club Meets.

Mrs. Felix 7. McWhirter, chairman OF
the board of the department of home and
education Of the Woman's Department
Club, was reelected at the meeting Of
the department in the clubhouse yester-
day afternoon. The remainder Of the
board, including Mrs. Austin f. Denny,
vice chairman; Mrs. W. W. Thornton,
secretary, and Mrs. A. S. Ayres, treas
urer were also reelected.
Public observance of holidays was dis
cussed by the body, Mrs. New hirter
talking briefly on Americanism. The
section decided to appoint a delegate TO
recommend to the board of the Woman's
Department Club that action to cooperate
in such observance be taken.
Following the business meeting the
mock Senate held a session. German
propaganda was the subject Of heated
discussion, with particular emphasis on
German-made movie films and German
immigration.
A bill prohibiting merchandise from
countries with which we are at war from
entering or being distributed in this
country for period of five years fol-
lowing the conclusion Of the war was
introduced by Mrs. R. E. Wilson. The
Senate" continued discussion of the bill
depriving American women of citizenship
on marriage with foreign-born men. The
street railway bill. providing for the
surrender of the existing franchise of
the company, the railway to be operated
under the public service commission, was
defeated.
Mrs. J. c. Hart, chairman of the com
mittee to investigate the poorly lighted
street conditions of the city, reported
=
conditions were due to lack Of funds, the
park board maintaining a separate fund
for boulevard lights. The body decided
after hearing the, report to continue with
the investigation, as dimly lighted streets
are a moral menace to a city.
The last meeting of the senate for this
season will be held April 5.

more people are killed every year by
motor cars in single city than are
killed by all railroads in the United
States.
Coroners juries, police and other
courts, have been so lenient, impos-
ing at the most a fine of few dol
lars, that the death rate is increasing
by leaps and bounds. Something
has to be done to check the unnece =
sary slaughter. In New York State
the penalty for inexcusable driving is
now the curtailment or revocation Of
the offenders license to drive a car.
Already this year $500 drivers II
censes have been Cancelled; some for
a few weeks, others for six months or
a year, and some forever. Ma5Sa.
chusetts has also started on the same
policy and other states would do well
to follow without delay. Therc is nc
injustice nor hardship whatever in
this; the unworthy are deprived Of
privilege they scorned to appreciate
repitition and the carelessness Of
others vino are thus made more eau
tious. France has recently found it
necessary to revise its motor regula-
aions to meet its increasing death
rate from this source.
The automobile has not only come
to stay. but to increase; like all Other
gsod things it is easily abused, and
the surest, quickest, most effective
way to reduce its dangers to mini
mum is to withhold its use from the
dangerous and undeserving.
Automatic safety couplers have re-
duced the railroad casualties from
thousands to scores; DANGEROUS m"
hinery has been safeguarded to great
extent In every plant in the country
safety first is taught constantly. The
wild men and women driving motor
vehicles can also be tanned, and must.
Then why prolong the slaughter?

With the perfection of motor vehi-
cles came high-powered, quickly re-

younger, TO travel Easter and faster.
To one who reduces his auto speed

ability in a car, manufacturers in
creased performance, until now even
a moderate-priced car is guaranteed
to do its 60 or 80 miles an hour, and
some, 80 or 100 miles. With improv-
ed roads also came the temptation to
"step on it." However, rate of speed
is a relative thing, for at times and
places 40 miles an hour is safer to the
public than 20 miles few hours la
ter. The earlier restrictions as to
speed have therefore, wisely, been re-
vised in many cities and states, and
specially outside corporate limits, to
read ''at safe rate of speed"
The ordinary passenger train does
not average over 40 miles an hour,
and its engineer must have several
years of careful training, and possess
certain abilities of judgement and
skill before he is entrusted with
train. yet practically any one with
at least one good eye is permitted to
drive an anto. An hour or two is
sufficient to master the shifting of
gears and applying the brake; but by
no means all drivers have the neces-
sary alertness of decision in an en-

different, or preoccupied. Hence, with
nearly nine million automobiles and
hundreds of thousands of motor
trucks, we now have a condition where

POSTMASTER At COBRE
ARRESTED FOR THEFT

According TO word received in Ely
last night George Hall. postmaster at
cobre. was arrested yesterday by gov
ernment officials and taken to Elko,
where he will be arraigned before a
United States commissioner and if
held to answer on a federal charge he
will be taken to Carson City to ap-
pear before the federal grand jury.
II is said that an examination of
Halls books is now being conducted
and from figures thus far obtained
it is claimed that the auditors have
found a shortage of $500 in the post
masters accounts.
Hall is well known here, having
formerly conducted a restaurant in
East Ely. He moved to Cobre some
time ago. where he has since been
conducting a small store and has also
occupied the position of postmaster.
Until recently he was quite a frequent
visitor in Ely.
Exact details of the matters leading
up to his arrest will probably not be
obtainable until the hearing Is held
in Elko. which will in all probability
be within the next day or two.
1t is rumored. however. that Hall
recently lost $500 in a poker game
at Montello and upon his return to
Cobre liqudated his gambling debt
by payment in United States money
orders
