Stratton. one cannot overlook the
fact that the desperately poor pay
which our government gives to great
experts makes il impossible for us to
retain men capable of performing the
great responsibilities which are
placed upon them.
The Massachusetts institute Or
Technology. an educational iust.iU-
,ion. finds no difficulty In paying al-V

Refused Many Offers.
DIR. Stratton has repeatedly rc-
fused large offers before. but the IN
ability Of the scientific men in the
government TO properly support them
selves and their families under the
living conditions in Washington. and
to make any provisions for old age
makes IL impossible for any respon-
sible department head to secure such
men for public service at govern
ment salaries"

1854 from the University of Illinois,

dustries of the country, aiding them
in research work and development OF
precision of method.

PLAN SAFETY DRIVE
TO CUT ACCIDENTS

followed up by real work
The Commissioners probably will
take UP the question again at the
board meeting tomorrow morning.
Fnvors one-way Street.
One-way streets again are being
considered al the District building
as means OF improving traffic con-
ditions
Commissioner Oyster said today
that he has discussed the one-way
street question with Inspector Albert
]. Headley. chief of the traffic bu-
reau. and requested that Official TO
inquire into it further.
we will have to come to one-way
streets here sooner or later and We
might as we'll begin to think about
1t now, the Commissioner declared.
Tried Out Year Ago.
The Commissioners about a year
ago tried out the idea On that part OF
10th street in the business district,
but after many protests restored the
two-way rule.
Commissioner Oyster said he be-
lieves one-way streets. would faciii-
tate travel in automobiles. He voiced
the view that whatever time a mo-
torist would lose in getting to the
one-way street would be more than
made up by the fact that his ma
chine could travel more expeditiously
after reaching thoroughfare on
which no vehicles would be copinG
toward him.
Would Widen streets.
The Commissioner also urged the
widening of more of the main streets
where spacious sidewalks now exist
as means of improving traffic con-
dittons.
Commissioner Rudolph concurred in
this suggestion. but pointed out that
it takes money to move curbs. which is
one thing the engineer department is
not oversupplied with.
Thirteenth street from G to Z
street is striking illustration of
the advantage of making the road
way wide and the sidewalk narrow.
Women to Suggest Plans.
The increas sed danger brought about
by the revival of roller skating has
served to awaken new interest among
tion and methods of improving il.
The public welfare committee OF the
District Federation of Women's Clubs
will forward to the Commissioners
tomorrow q list of suggestions for
safeguarding children on skates and
for reducing traffic congestion gen.
orally.
The committee met for nearly two
hours yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Ellis Logan and dis
cussed the street-safety problem from
every angle.
Would Mark on Sections.
Mrs. Logan said the committee will
suggest to the Commissioners the ad-
Visibility of designating groups of
three streets in the various neighbor-
hoods for roller skating. 1t was not
the committees idea. she said, that
the roadway be closed for skaters,
but that narrow strip near the curb
be marked off with a white line
The committee also will recommend
one-way streets for traffic generally
Mrs. Logan said it was the con-
sensus at the meeting that parents
can do great deal toward reducing
accidents by impressing the dangers
of street skating upon their boys and
girls.

your acceptance of this statue of Ed

of Harvard Thomas In the city of
Bristol, England. as a gift from the
British to the American people"
Praised BY Secretary Weeks.
Accepting the memorial statue for
the nation. Secretary Weeks praised
! the Sulgrave Institution for Its splen-
did and successful work in strength
ening the bonds of friendship between
the Anglo-Saxon nations.
Understanding is one of the great
est desideratums in international life"
he said, land most essential IN pro-
noting and insuring international
amity. To bring about complete un-
derstanding between nations is
never-ending task. and yet there is
in our small way helped to remove
misunderstanding which have ere
ated prejudice against individuals
or groups of individuals or even
sections Of our country. We are
always prone to distrust or even
but when we have come to know
through personal experience or as
sociation the problem confronting
the individual or community concerned
we usually are able to recognize the
reasonableness of the point of view
or position taken, and the prejudices
and ill feeling created through mis-
understanding disappear. The net
result is the gradual removal Of
causes of friction to the advantage
of all concerned. This illustration IL
indicative of the possibilities Of ac-
complement in larger fields and re-,
suits which we may confidently ex-
pect from the efforts of the patriotic
Englishmen and Americans who con-
stitute the Sulgrave Institution in
their endeavors to bring about q bet
ter understanding between the peo-
pies Of Great Britain and America"
A Friend to America.
After outlining the career Of Burke,
and the great debt owed him by
America, the Secretary continued:
II, realize quite wen my inability
adequately to- expresS-th sense Of
gratitude which all Americans feel in
their hearts toward Edmund Burke,
but I am sure they do not think, OF
him so much as great orator or
great statesman, but as friend who
was willing to create bitter enmttfes
against himself in order to help them
in the days Of their great need, and
