Heavy Penalties."

The traffic engineer of the Public
Utilities Commission comes back to
Washington with the severe penalty
idea for reckless motorists. 1t will be
remembered that the Commissioners
traffic committee recommended severe
penalties, that various civic bodies
have recommended severe penalties
and that the police department stands
for severe penalties. 1t was believed
that the Police Court was dealing out
severe penalties to reckless drivers.
There is too much reckless driving
and too much reckless walking. Every
man using a car sees persons stepping
from behind parked autos between
corners without giving a thought to
traffic. He sees persons Of all classes
stepping off the curb between cross
ings without looking to see If a car
may be coming toward them. He sees
persons cutting diagonally across
streets reading a newspaper or a let.

path of moving car who seem to be

There is some warrant for the popu-
lar belief that "the seasons are chang
ing" Meteorologists scoff at this and
produce the figures. but some men
say they know as much about the
weather as meteUrologists, and that
their memory of bygone winters and
summers is as true as "figgerS.' Here
is April. Once all Washington knew
her as a blithe. fair maid who came
in a gay Dolly Warden frock and wore
Il hat all covered DER with flowers.
She wore blossoms in her hair. She
capered on soft green turf starred
with dandelions. She brought days
that We're bright and sunny. The
breezes came up from the south and
were charged with the scent Of the
magnolia. Such rains as we had We're
only April showers. There would be a
tumbling of glittering raindrops and
then the sun would shine, but now we
keep the furnace going and are think

much of April that she should give us

The National Song,

The superintendent Of public schools
Of Cleveland. speaking before the
music supervisors national confer.
ence. said that "The Star Spangled
Banner" 'is probably the most diff.
cult song for the human voice to ne.
gotiate," and he urged that "a SUBJ
stitute for the national anthem be
chosen containing some beautiful,
dignif1ed expression OF emotion found
in American, life.' 1t may be that
THE Star Spangled Banner" is not
probably the most difficult song" 1t
seems that one hears great singers in
opera and concert who get away with
songs that are more difficult but that
THE Star Spangled Banner" presents
difficulties is not disputed. 1t may
not be the hardest song. but it is too
much for most of us. Not only can
most Of us not carry the tune from
the low to the topmost notes without
bringing tears or laughter to our
selves and pain to the listeners, but
it seems very hard in committing the
words to memory to get farther along
than "Oh, say. Can you sec by the
dawn's early light"
Writing a national song to order
seems to be an exceedingly easy
thing to do. Many musicians and
others have done IL. The trouble
comes in getting the common people
to know that 1t is the national song.
One can put picture of the Ameri-
can flag on the cover and print this
caption. "A national song. entitled
Hip, Hip, Hurray for Uncle Sam" -
but nobody seems to pay any atten-
ton to it other than the author and
perhaps his mother. 1t is very dis
heartening. Some time there may
come along national song which. be-
cause Of its associations. its inspira-
ton and other factors, will be uni
versally acclaimed as the national
song, but until then We will continue
to try to sing The Star Spangled
Banner" 1t is a magnificent melody
with very good words expressing
noble sentiments. Men much prefer
this song to all the other national
songs turned out by their musician
fellow citizens. even though they can
do nothing more than stand when the
band plays THE Star Spangled Ban

Endurance Dancing.

Long-distance nonstop dancing is
advancing in favor. Once upon a time
the aim of dancers was to be graceful.
Dancers next got the idea that the
proper thing was to be acrobatic and
contortional. Now the idea Is coming
that the dance may be an endurance
test. A Cleveland woman, at this
minute, holds the marathon" dancing
record, having kept her feet going for
fifty-two hours and sixteen minutes.
She took milk, soup and sandwiches
during her dance, and her weight
dropped from 113 to 10s pounds. A
physician said that she might have
kept going a few hours more without
dropping from exhaustion. Some folk
will call this dancing silly, but silly
things take" with silly people. Old.
fashioned persons have cried out
against many modern forms Of dane.

Lord Cecil's Plea to Women

Lord Robert Cecil, who is touring
this country to arouse sentiment IA
vorable to the United States joining
the league of nations. is making spe-
cial plea to women, based apparently
upon the idea that woman is more re-
sponsive to appeals to the sensibili-
ties and that she has a deeper horror
Of war than man. Speaking in Des
Moines yesterday before an audience
in which were delegates to the con-
vention of the National League of
Woman Voters. in session there, Lord
Cecil addressed himself directly to
them. Women have. or ought to
have, special passion for peace"
was his declaration, as he sought to
differentiate them from men in this
regard.
There is probably much to be said
upon that point, and he went on to
enlarge upon the theme by claiming
that women suffer more from the
hardships of war than men. It was an
eloquent plea and a subtle one. But it
"dS DtSeu uppIl ldhlIlS IOT SIdntcu
that the league of nations constitutes
a preventive against future wars. The
debates in the Senate disclosed that
1t is not a barrier. and that the COW
enant of the league Of nations con-
tains stipulations calculated to lead
to war in certain cases and contingent
cies. A majority of the voters of this
country sustained that Interpretation
Of the league in the election Of 1920.
Woman voters Of the United States
are not to be assembled in mass and
classified because Of their tender
hearts. They will use their heads as
we'll, and while thousands of them
think that the United States should
join the league, other thousands will
hold to the contrary, and II the issue
comes to the ballot box again will so
vote. The aid Of women in an en-
deavor to stampede the United States
into the league on a wave of senti-
mentality is being invoked. If all
woman voters could be drafted into a
solid phalanx in support Of the league
the movement could succeed, because
they would then, with the men who
favor the league, constitute a large
majority.

Issue With Pacifsts Was Clearly
Defined.

Secretary Weeks apparently has the
sympathy OF editors in his refusal to
| 'muzzle" Army officers, chiefly Gen.
Amos A. Fries. chief Of the chemical
| warfare division, and in his charac-
terization as false" the claim that
more than s5 per cent of the national
budget goes for war purposes. Some
editors argue that he went "a trtfe
, far in his assault upon pacifists gen.
orally. but for the most part his en-
tire statement is heartily commended.
The Secretary is rather sweeping
in his charges against American pa
cifists" as the Chicago Daily News
interprets the reply, but it considers
he performed a distinct service as
to the cause OF sound progress based
Oh clear thinking by refuting the Oft
repeated statement that more than
s5 per cent Of the federal budget will
go for past and future wars 1t Is
of course entirely proper to urge wise
economy in appropriations for ma
| tional defense, but it is hardly sincere
to invcigh against militartSm where
1t does not exist and give the impress
sion that vast sums OF money are be-
ing wasted on needless defensive
measures" The st. Paul Dispatch,
likewise. thinks that the Secretary
went somewhat far in his charges,
but it feels sure that what should
end the controversy is that we are
spending less for the national de-
fense than in 1915: and there are but
few strafght-thlnkfng people who be-
lieve we can afford to cut more
deeply. What we have to spend for
pensions. rehabilitation and war debts
we cannot escape. Secretary Weeks
is perhaps worrying unne necessarily
over the pacifists Their maunder-
ingS do not amount to much. Com
to the point" The fact that war
certainly does impose enormous bur-
dens on the people of this country
and of all countries" must, of course
be agreed to. the Indianapolis News
says. but this Is no argument for
doing away with our Army and Navy
or for refusing to maintain them in
the highest degree of efficiency and
adequate strength. Mr.. Weeks insists
that the amount now spent for this
purpose is not excessive.
He very properly condemns those
who center their fire solely on our
defenses rather than on the condi-
tions that make the keeping up of
these defenses necessary. Arma-
ments should be reduced and are be-
ing in this country, Those who are
best informed think that Congress
went too far in the reduction of the
Army. Our people are not militaris-
tic, nor is our government. Nor Is
OUR Army itself. But the great things
to be overcome are the feelings of
suspicion and distrust, and that self
sufficient spirit which sees safety and
honor in isolation"
1t is an organized attack, the Bos-
ton Transcript is certain, that is be-.
ing made on the national defense
system, and "the mendacity Of the
pacifist lobby which Secretary Weeks
has finally exposed, the cowardly
cunning with which it has juggled
figures and distorted facts, the large
number of teachers and preachers
who have been caught In the possess
sion of it's communicating goods,
ought to provide for the plain people
who think timely and enduring
warning. Whether the cost of this
campaign of lying in regard to our

driving" When a driver hits a man
in the street it is nearly always be-
lieved at first to be a case Of reckless
driving. but investigation often shows
that the driver was a careful driver.
Perhaps safe driving would be that
driving where car Is moving slowly
and where the driver is so alert that
he sees an obstruction the instant it
appears, and so quick to act that he
cuts off the gas, puts on the brake
and stops the car in its own length.
Few drivers are so careful and quick
to see and act. The careful driver
should certainly go slow at street
crossings and should exercise extreme
caution In rounding corners. That
many drivers are not careful at cross
ings and at corners may be noted by
anybody many times day.

Vacation Well Fits President for Tasks.

That broad human sympathy which

Recovery in Europe.

Julius IL Barnes. president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, is back from Europe in an
optimistic mood. lie found on every
hand signs of progress toward re-
covcry from the i'll effects of war and
the blunders of the peace, and fore
sccs at an early day a decided expan-
sion in the commerce of the world.
There still are sore and fostering
spots, such as the Ruhr, Russia and
the near east, but in the main Europe
is getting back TO work, and work is
the one and only remedy which can
, possibly bring about recovery. Other
forms of treatment are needed for af-
tlicted parts, of course, but work
the production of necessary things
goes at the root of the trouble, and
without it other applications would be
of little or no avail.
This is not only encouraging news
for those Americans who have been
Respondent as to the future of the
world but is vindication of the COM
nonsense policy of this government,
which refused to be swept off its feet
by clamOring for cancellation Of debts,
international economic conferences
and other drastic measures to save
the nations, this one among them,
from all going to pot together. The
attitude of the United States govern
ment has been consistently that no
effective help could be extended by
this country until Europe was in a
mood to help itself. Now that there is
evidence of such a mood in Europe II
Is probable that American assistance
will be extended more and more, but
through private channels. The farther
along Europe progresses in its proc
esses of production the easier it will
be to arrange credits for the supplies
1t needs from this side of the Allan
tic. Plenty of American dollars are
available for the furtherance Of Amer
lean trade and for safe and profitable
investment abroad. The purpose for
which American dollars have not been
available was for pouring into a sink
hole which had been created by the
almost complete breakdown Of produc-
tive effort and even of the will to
produce.
Such Il recovery in Europe as Mr..
Barnes reports is the one thing needed
10 insure stability to the prosperity
which is returning to this country
Though Europe normally is pur-
chaser of only comparatively small
percentage Of our total production, it
is essential to balanced industry that
the market for this small surplus be
constant and reliable. With this mar
ket assured no industry will need hold
back because of apprehension Of the
future.
