PROPOSES CHANGED
SIGNS At CAR STOPS
Thirteen Club Urges Thot No.
tees Be Placed In More
Visible Locations.

A resolution calling attention OF
the Public Utilities Commission
and the local car lines to the
danger of traffic accidents caused
by lack of uniformity Of car-stop
signs was adopted unanimously
at the semi-monthly meeting OF
the Thirteen Club last evening at
the City Club.
H. Raymond Bresnahan, sponsor
of the motion, pointed out that on
Georgia avenue at least, the stop
signs are placed on the trolley
poles, so that a motorist following
u slowly moving street car has
no knowledge of when the car
may stop and a passenger jump
out in front of his machine, be-
cause of the signs being out OF
sight. The motion suggested that
the stop signs be placed on the
curbs, as is the practice in the
central parts of the city.
Stephen H. Takes, secretary OF
the Washington Association, OF
Credit Men,. Chaplin B. Bauman,
attorney; and Frank G. MacAloon
were elected members of the club.
Following the business meeting,
Henry A. Latimer. chairman Of the
program, introduced as his speak
ers George Curtiss Shinn, who
spoke on "Some Common Cases of
Observation-Disclosures Of JUSTICE" and
Lee D. Latimer, jr., who spoke on
1.-THE Divorce Evil" A debate be.
tween Benjamin A. LeFevre and
Charles G. Graves on the question:
Resolved, that the French inva-
sion of the Ruhr is justifiable, ="
completed the program.
In his talk on the mal-adminis-
tration of justice, Mr.. Shinn as
serted that the third d e
methods used by police depart
ments is denial of the .constitu-
tional right of a person not to be
forced to testify against himself.
He also scored the practice Of
making a first offender plead
guilty to be given opportunity for
probation; seizures without war
rant, which he asserted to be a
common practice; and the fact that
courts do. not automatically pro-
vide alienists where sanity Of 3
defendant is in doubt.

den Scarecrow," SThe Green Mir
ror,n "The Dark Forest" The
Secret City, 1.-THE Captives'' and
"The Cathedral"
He has accomplished an unusual
amount Of work In his short literary
life, the recent war having halted
the steady succession of his works.
ONLY 80 YEARS OLD.
The novelist was born thirty
eight years ago in Auckland, New
Zealand. where his father was in
cumbent Of the Proc Cathedral. Later
the family moved to New York.
where DR.. Walpole became profes-
sor OF Theology at the Cathedral
Theological Seminary. In 1896.
when Hugh was twelve years old.
DR.. Walpole was called to be prin-
cipal of Bede College. Durham,
England.
Young Walpole received his edu-.
cation at Kings School. Canter-
bury, ana at Edmond College. Cam
bridge. Before the war. he lived
for the greater part Of each year
in Cornwall. the ancient and pic
turesque legends OF which place are
thought to have had an influence
on some of his works.
SHOWS TREND OF TIME.
Under WaIpole's mastery hand
the great problem confronting man
kind and civilization are faithfully
portrayed, and in each Of his novels
the particularly strong influences
Of the time are sensed and fOfm-
an unmistakable undercurrent for
the work.
The Boer war left strong mark
on pages Of his life, the contradic-
tons and frictions in education are
deeply etched in tFortitude," and
as memorably, If more lightly In
Jeremy" and 1.-THE Golden Scare
crow" In 1.-THE Duchess Of Wrexe"
and 1.-THE Green Mirror, the
modern tendency toward the break
ing down of class distinctions. and
the lifting Of moral standards, Is
ever in the background.
SHOW DISTINCT QUALITY.
Walpole's works are character
lied by a distinct literary quality,
in which subtlety OF thought and
mannerism, coupled with smooth
ness and finish, combine to bring
home the thought Of the work more
forcibly than eccentricity or bold
ness.
The distinguished Briton IL no
schoolmaster and no preacher. but
his lesson and his sermon are no
less to be found by his chosen
reader.
At his lecture next Thursday he
will be introduced by Senator David
I. Walsh of Massachusetts,. The
proceeds Of the lecture will go for
the benefit Of the Boys Club, uns
der whose auspices it is being given.
