TRAFFIC RULE EXPLAINED.
Officials Say Vehicles Have Pref
erence on Streets.

Although there is A para graph in
the traffic code admonishing drivers
TO exercise all possible care against
injuring pedestrians, there is no posi-
tive requirement in the regulations
giving pedestrians the right-o
over vehicles at intersections.
This was pointed out today by Dis
trlct officials discussing the letter of
William G. Severns, 1915 Park road.
Corporation Counsel stephens explain
ed that the reference in the traffic
code to the duties of the pedestrian
and the driver is couched in such lam
guage as to indicate that it is more
of warning than a definite regula-
ton. 1t reads:
THE fact that streets are primarily
intended for vehicles and street cars
must lot be construed as relieving e
drivers from the responsibility OF ex-
ercising all possible care not to
inture pedestrians.
'On the other hand, pedestrians
should avoid interference with traffic.
and to this end should not step from
the sidewalk without first looking
TO see what is approaching; should
cross the street at right angles and
only at a regular crossing; should
stand on the sidewalk or close to
the track when waiting for a street
car; should face the front of the car
when alighting from it. and observe
the traffic on the right before NOV
ing TO the sidewalk, and if crossing
behind the car observe the traffic in
both directions
In congested sections of the city
white lines are painted on the street
at intersections to indicate where
pedestrians should cross. Inspector
Headley, chief of the traffic bureau,
explained that these lines are to
warn motorists where they may ex-
pect to find pedestrians. There is
no regulation, he said, which gives
the walker the right of way, even when
he or she is between these lines.
The corporation counsel said that
when a pedestrian is knocked down
at an intersection the question of
blame is decided by proof of the
circumstances in each case.

MAY SCRAP 900 SHIPS.
Chairman o'Connor Says Expens.
Makes Action Imperative.

Scrapping OF the laid-up fleet Of
900 vessels of the United States
Shipping Board as an economical
measure will be advocated by Chair
man OConnor at an early meeting
of the board, 1t was announced
Chairman OConnor explained that
expense of maintaining the boats,
with constant depreciation in their
value, makes their disposal impera-
tive.
OF the 900 laid-up steel vessels, the
chairman said, there are at least 400
which, under the most liberal call
culations, are not required in the
promotion and maintenance OF the
American merchant marine. or the
400, at least half are not suitable for
use even if they were required.
Il shall recommend that we i'm
mediately proceed with the sale of
Us of the vessels he said, and
later sell such others as may be
determined upon.

ASSERTS WALKERS
HAVE RIGHT OF WAY
Writer'S Viewpoint on Traffic
Not Accepted Fully by
District Officials.

To the Editor of The star:
II seems rather strange after all
that has been said and done in Wash
lngton in the effort to avoid the many
appalling automobile collisions. and
the very serious consequences thereof.
that some one has not seen fit to set
forth the exact legal rights of all
parties concerned.
In the first instance. any pedes-
trisn at all regular street crossings,
proceeding at his usual gait has the
unquestioned right of way.
Called Natural Right.
1t is a natural a constitutional
right, that existed long before auto
mobiles or any other kind of vehicles
were in use. It is not a statutory
right, subject to change, but one that
existed long before any statute was
ever enacted.
1t, therefore. becomes the duty of
every driver of any kind OF We
hicle TO safeguard every man, woman
and child at street crossings, and
they are liable for any damage they
may cause in civil suit.
In case they exceed the speed
limit or in other ways violate the
traffic regulations they are liable to
criminal prosecution in addition.
1t is the duty of any driver to
look ahead and avoid accidents and
If he is going at ordinary speed can
stop his machine before much dam
age is wrought.
Speed Enhances Danger
When going at excessive speed an
automobile becomes dangerous
weapon and an assault Herewith is
more dangerous than a revolver and
certainly has caused more fatalities
within the past year.
When traffic officers are present
drivers are very thoughtful, but
when they are absent no attention
is paid to the right of those walk
ing
In cases of intoxication licenses
should be revoked for one year and
heavy fine imposed as well. Severe
measures should be taken in cases
OF gross negligence and a greater
degree of cara exercised before any
permit is granted to operate an
automobile.
Rigid re guIaton must and will
come. Why not now?

SEES 1,OOO.YEAR PEACE.
Theology School Dean Delivers
Sermon at Church.

Foreca sting peace for 1000 years,
DR.. B. G. Wilkinson. dean of theology
of Washington Missionary College,
preached last night before a large
audience in the Capital Memorial
Church, Fifth and F. streets. DR.. Will
kinson is interpreting world events
in the light OF the major Bible proph-
ecies in Sunday night lectures.
DR.. Wilkinson said that the Jap
anese nation and the Soviets are at
tempting to effect a treaty of peace
and on this depends the permanent
peace Of the world. There will be a
great revolution, he said, and then
on the midnight of that great con-
7ict there will be everlasting peace.
