chusetts avenue should be poltced the
same way.
More Police Needed.
Pedestrians have a legitimate COM
plant when they say that they can
not get across busy streets on account
Of the constant flow Of cars. II these
cars were controlled they would have
an opportunity.
It is almost impossible to cross
Broadway in New York even as far
out as 10th street. There is the
same constant flow of traffic. A Pc
destrian would be foolish to try to
get across without waiting for a ces-
sation of traffic.
So that, first of all, we need many
more policemen here to handle auto
mobiles. There will be fewer acci-
dents and less ranting from walkers
If we have them.
Congress is very much aroused over
conditions here. Let 1t get to the
bottom Of the matter, which Is not
more regulation. but more policemen
to save and protect human life and
to enforce the regulations we have
now.
It does no good to shout "All mo-
torists are murderers" and "An Pc
destrians are fools!" There may be
some Of each. But indiscriminate agi-
tation will never cure the traffic evils
of the nations capital.

CHAPTER \.
Val Calls
John Harmon stood in the deep
room where the Indian blankets
glowed and held his wife in the bend
of his arm. His face was strange
of conflicting emotions. A
veritable sickness Of parting sat upon
it and his dark eyes burned upon
Bellies sightless face with such pas
sion of love as rerely lasts beyond the
fires of youth.
He kissed her again and again and
studied the curve of her faded cheek,
the curls Of soft hair at her temples.
And Bellies expert fingers passed
over his features, reading" his face
before departure. When he was gone
she would drop in a chair and weep
like schoolgirl, but she sped him
now like any Spartan.
And when, John dear" she asked
anxiously, will you be back this
time? Will it be as long trip as
the last one?''
The man raised his eagles head
and looked out through the window
across the plains. What visions he
saw none might know, but his eyes
deepened and glowed and he
