The Burden of Blame,

While the Senate was discussing the
District appropriation bill yesterday,
specifically at the point bearing upon
the provision Of salaries for the police.
it digressed into a debate on traffic
conditions in Washington which elicit.
ed some pointed opinions regarding
traffic accidents. Every member Of
the Senate who spoke expressed the
opinion that some change In or addi.
tion to the law Is needful to cure the
evil Of carelessness. which takes so
heavy toll in life and limb In this
city.
Senator Fletcher, for example, re-
ferring to the case. Of Mrs. Hill, who
lost her life last week, noted the fact
that the driver Of the car that hit her
was discharged upon a hearing, and
that, he said, "is the record right
along. There are no policemen. no Of
ficers anywhere about, to testify re-
garding the facts. The only witness
is the person who operated the car,
and he testifies and the case is thrown
out Of court, and so 1t is day after
day" In. point OF fact, in the case Of
Mrs. Hill there were other witnesses
than the driver. But Senator F1etcher's
observation. is nevertheless generally
correct. AS rule these motor acct.
dent cases are disposed Of In favor of
the drivers Of cars, for lack Of positive
evidence Of carelessness or, their part.

Says French Invade
Germany for Loot

To the Editor OF The Star:
In your Saturday edition Maria W.
Carter protests against the Ameri-
can disapproyal of Frances invasion
of Germany and asserts that 1--WE
have all become Shylocks" and given
up our ideals of a few years ago.
An examination of the facts in the
case will prove just the contrary.
They will show that, instead of the
American nation. giving up its ideal
of justice and right, we are uphold
ing that ideal In our disapproval or
the French invasion of Germany for
her troops onto German soil, not for
a blow for her own freedom, not for a
call for the safety of her soil, but
purely and simply as a commercial
act. to get plunder, to secure the coal.
and that coal the very center of In
dustry on which Germany depends to
save her from starvation.
All the allies agree that the amount
fixed as to be paid by Germany was
excessive and not to be accomplished
vaded France for our debt. But
France. laying aside the least pre-
tense to any ideals higher than rank
commercialism. is now doing just
what few years ago she branded
the Germans as Huns for doing--en-
tering with an army q neighboring
nation and seizing their goods and
at the point of the bayonet. If any
rational mind can find any similarity
between the courses taken by France
and America they surely are afflicted
with mental astigmatism. We have
used no force or threats and made no
disturbance about what is due US.
France, imposing an impossible obli-
cation by force OF arms. now pro-
ceeds to collect 1t with the sword.
Will Maria w. Carter explain where
are the lofty ideals of France in so
doing and why we Americans err in
protesting against this invasion.
which is a violation not only of. the
treaty, but of all noble sentim ents
the French proclaimed four yeara

Handle Babe Asleep
With Autosuggestion
TO the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The visit of NJ. Coue, brief though it
was. has centered attention for the
moment on the power and operation
Of the subconscious mind Cor sub
liminal self" as it is styled by some,
including Maurice Maeterlinck in his
Unknown Guest" and DR.. Morton
Prince in THE Dissertation of a Per-
sonality"). Before this impression
has faded I should like to call atten-
tion to an important use of this
deeper consciousness that experience
has shown can be made by parents
and others that have the care of chill
dren.
When it becomes necessary to han
die a sleeping child-say, to remove
It from one bed to another-if the
child be picked up silently it is apt.
as we all know. to start, perhaps to
resist, maybe to waken and cry. This
unexpected disturbance and can be
obviated completely by speaking to
the child before touching II, telling
1t gently and distinctly what you are
about to do. 1t will understand with
out Weakening. The ,subconscious
mind, which Is on guard, will appre-
ciate the import of what is said and
convey 1t to the little slumberer, who
will, in consequence, not be startled,
but, yielding with confidence to the
person handling 1t. will nestle quietly
down into the enfolding arms and un-
resistingly allow itself to be lowered
into the new place OF slumber, where
IL will settle at once comfortably and
contentedly. with no break in its
sound sleep.
I OFFER this suggestion to those par
ents and nurses to whom the idea has
not occurred, and beg to assure them
that / speak from ample experience
with my own children. with whom ]
followed the practice when they were
small and with invariable success.

have offered 1t as an amendment to
the pending btlf. regulating trafhc in
the District, changing the rule or
evidence so that when an accident oc-
ours a presumption OF fact shall arise
that the person operating the car
was guilty OF negligence. Instead Of
putting upon the person who is
manned or killed the burden OF prov
ing negligence, the man operating the
car must establish by preponderance
Of the evidence that he was not negli-
gent. That would have some effect. I
think. Changing the rule of evidence
would have a tendency to make more
careful these people who operate
automobiles. taxis and trucks.
Undoubtedly If this principle were
established by law the moral. effect
would be decidedly wholesome. At
present, as Senator Fletcher says, the
burden Of proof rests upon the victim.
The driver has assumed and has been
by custom and in a measure by law
given the right of way in the streets,
and the pedestrian has come to be re-
garded as an obstruction, almost a
trespasser. He is in the paved area at
his own risk. The rules governing
speed at crossings and regulating
turns are so laxly observed and so
seldom enforced that no person afoot
can be assured. save perhaps at the
points of traffic regulation where an
officer is stationed. of clear passage.
Even at such points turning car may
break through the line Of pedestrians
moving parallel with the line of traf-
fic impulse.
AS long as the feeling prevails on
the part of drivers that they are en-.
titled to the right Of way as against
pedestrians in all circumstances and
conditions. and that it is up to the
people afoot to avoid collision, acci
dents will continue. An enactment OF
law such as that suggested by Sena'
tor Fletcher will perhaps change this
point Of view, and would give meas
ure Of guarantee of safety to the peo
pie who walk, who are, despite the
great increase in motor numbers, after
all the majority.

simple precautions OF general health

means that there has been some negli-
gence. some indifference to physical
welflre. 1t should not be regarded as
an inevitable accompaniment Of cold

Much depends on the temperament.
1t Is always. however, to be remem-
bered that the person who stays in
doors in order to treat a cold Is at
least not exposing others to the same
afiiction save in the immediate family
circle.
The most important thing to remem-
Der at this time Of year. with pull.

get frightened. Fear induces sickness
Of this character. Imagination plays a
big part in the preservation Of health.

Jenny had an ailing husband-tu-

treasure Of her life 10 an ailing baby.
One day Jenny was absent from her
post. Another waitress took her place.
DR.. Work noticed tho change, but
said nothing.
The next day the substitute ap-
peared again.
where's Jenny?" DR.. Work asked.
"Her baby's SICK" the substitute re-
piled.
Nothing serious. I hope?" the Post

"I'm afraid 1t is. SIR" the waitress
answered. "Pneumonia, I believe. The
baby's in Georgetown Hospital and
Jenny's with her."
When the Postmaster General quit
work that day he went to his wait
ing car.
'Drive to Georgetown Hospital" he
told the chauffeur.
At the hospital DR.. Work inquired
for Jenny. She wasn't there at the
moment, but the baby was. He might
see the baby In ward so-and-so.
The Postmaster General went to
ward so-and-so and saw the little
sufferer. He leaned over it and ex-
amined 1t. Then he called the nurse.
Let me see this patients chart"
he requested.
The nurse brought the chart and
with it a young inferno who oblig-
ingly started to explain what 1t all
meant.
Never mind" interrupted DR..

myself"
The Postmaster General-Postmas-
ter General no longer. but a man of
medicine beside the bed of tiny suf-
ferer-called for the physician in
charge. They held consultation and
when DR.. Work made known his
identity the physician in charge was
glad to adopt his suggestions. 1t
isn't every day that the president OF
the American Medical Association
goes to Georgetown Hospital.
DR.. Work spent half an hour at the
hospital and when he left requested
that he be kept advised by telephone
of the baby's progress.
And, glory be, that baby lived and
got well and is playing about now
with Christmas toys.
Maybe the Postmaster General
didn't save the baby's life. But j.
