There 1eemeth not thing askew
About this sinleSS brother.
He skins his victims all the week;
Hle way is anything but meek,
And when ono of 'em tries to squeak
He usually Will smother.
II he should ever really get
His soul all sizzling In q sweat,
And find that he could not FORGET
The seed he had been sowing:
IL he should rise and tell the tale.

And to the big door Of the JAN

DUE
To SAFETY
POSTS
~ HHuI
May Be Removed as Result of
complaints-Survey Or
dered by Bell.

The striped safety posts in down
town Washington probably will be
eliminated in few weeks, 1t became
known today.
Engineer Commissioner J. Frank
lin Bell, chairman Of the Public
Utilities Commission, who approved
the posts for experimental purposes,
has ordered that a study be made TO
determine whether the posts are
practical.
Blamed for Accidents.
Several accidents have occurred
in the past few weeks because of
the posts, 1t Is stated, automobiles
crashing into them.
|. eff I find the posts meet with
general disapproval, will immedi-
ately order them taken down." Ma
jor Bell said today. '"They were
placed about the city as an expert
ment."
The lack of proper display of one
way street signs was called to the
attention OF the District Commits
sioners today. 1t was pointed out
that motorists are unable to find the
one-way signs at night.
Signs in Shadow.
The signs, which are of black let
tiers with a yellow back ground, are
placed on lampposts, a few feet be.
low the light. The shadow Of tho
top of the posts is directly on the
signs, making them almost invisible
at night.
1t was suggested that either the
signs be placed in a more conspicu-
GUS location or that the colors Of
the signs be changed. One sugges-
ton has been that the lines be OF
white letters with black background.
It has also been suggested that
small lights be put on the present
signs.
