In Memoriam and Hope.

Yesterdays ceremony at the Dis
trict building. where memorial to
the ninety-seven children who Were
killed during the past year in acct
dents was dedicated. appropriately

Though this altar is only temporary.
end will soon be removed. it should re-
main in the memories Of all the peo-
pie Of the capital permanently.
The sacrifice of ninety-seven young
lives to carelessness in this city is a
shocking waste. It is needless. A lit
tie thoughtfulness. little precaution.
less haste. more consideration on all
sides, would have saved these lives.
In some cases the victims themselves
were to blame for their own deaths,
rushing headlonS into danger. In
other cases they were victims Of the
rash and reckless conduct Of others.
Safety in the streets calls for care
on both sides. The motorist must
realize that his machine is potential
killer whenever it is driven so rapidly
that it cannot be stopped within a
very short distance. especially at
crossings and in crowded places. The
pedestrian. young and old. must
realize that the margin of safety in
the streets is narrow. and that while
most drivers are careful others are
not. and the machine that approaches
may be driven by one Of the latter.
1t is difficult to the point of impos-
sibility to restrain children from
moving quickly. They are naturally
lmpulsive. and they are prone to dart
forth from the safety of the sidewalks
into the dangers Of the pavements
without looking. Many of them are
too young to know the nature of the
risks they take when they venture
into the streets. The elders who drive
the cars-and youngsters should not
drive. though many Of them do-must
manage their machines with this fact
in mind.
Safety week should teach every per-
son in Washington that care is nee
cssary. 1t would be well if a picture
OF tne CnlIOfcn memorial were pasted
upon the windshield of every machine
operating in this city. so that the
driver can always see it and will al
ways remember its meaning.
No matter what rules are written,
there will be those who violate them.
who take chances and cut to the finest
point the margin of safety. No matter
bow careful the great majority are
the reckless minority will continue to
cause additions to the death roll
marked by the memorial in front of
the District building. The present
problem is to reduce that minority.
through lessons. by effective pleas, by
penalties If necessary.
Washington's real safety week"
should be 365 days long. The prayer
Of all today is that year hence there
will be far fewer victims to commemo-
rate than the ninety-seven for whom
the marker dedicated yesterday is de-
signed.

the many complex situations that

wandered In to Jerry McAuley's mis-
sion in New York. The services made
no great impression upon him. but
the warmth Of the room was crafty.

boned longshoreman handed him a
steaning hot mug Of coffee. a great
thick slab Of q sandwich with these
words. "God bless you brother. 60 to

him then and there that when a great
big roughneck, a tough character OF
the waterfront. could be saved there
must be something in 1t after all.
That night he knelt at the altar and
it was not long after that that he made
up his mind that he would devote his
