MAUDLIN

The rather distastefuI word
"maudlin," which means either
drunken stupidity or fearful SEN
timentality, has an origin quite
above its station. In reality, 1t
is contraction of MARY Mag
dalen,' whom artists depict as
weeping continually. Although
generally used as an adjective,
maudlin is also a noun, which de-
notes a variety of yarrow or
herb which grows in Europe.
The pronunciation is ''maud'lin."

LETTERS OF DISMISSION
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-11-21

Policeman Estes believes that
the present regulations for the con.
troll Of vehicular traffic are suffi-
GENTLY complete and that some of
them can be dispensed with and
should be dropped from the statute
books. The only further regula-
ton needed, he believes, is the one
permitting control of pedestrians at
intersections.
Pedestrians Are Problem
Every traffic policeman has the
same difficulty with pedestrians, /"
ne said. "The wider or more ir.
regular the intersection the moro
difficulty the officer has in hand
ling the pedestrian problem.
Pedestrians simply will not pay
attention to the signal Of the traf-
fic policeman. They step off the
curb when they reach it regardless
OF the direction. vehicular traffic
Is flowing and they ares in the
streets at all times, irrespective of
the signal.
The policeman does not turn
the signal while there is large
group of pedestrians In the street
but those who straggle across and
who do not take the trouble to
watch for the signal or who pay
no heed to the policemAn's whistle
giving warning of change Of
traffic direction must take their
own chances.
The policy the policeman mus;
now adopt of controlling traffic ac.
cording to the number OF pedes-
TRANS in the street is source Of
great traffic delay during busy
hours. The intersections should be
kept as free as possible for vehicu.
lar traffic during the rush hours
and the only way this can be done
Is to compel the pedestrian to
move with traffic, not against it,"
On Traffic Duty Three Years.
\ Policeman Estes has been on traf-
fic duty continuously for three
years and during that time has
never had a pedestrian injured at
his post. He admits that there have
