Better lighted streets would make
for safety. The matter has long been
discussed. The municipal authorities
know Washington's deficiency in
street lighting and are applying the
remedy as they have funds for that
purpose. The subject has been gone
into by lighting engineers. many tests
have been made, a program has been
agreed to. and it is believed that with
funds for carrying out the program
Washington will become a well lighted
city at night. In the matter of street
lighting, engineers place Washington
low in the scale of American cities.
Citizens and citizens associations are
ditions in the streets and frequently
call for more light. The civic body
which most lately has taken up this
question is the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association, and
at recent meeting it discussed the
need for better lighting at the inter-
section of First street and Florida
avenue, which is .crossway over
which much traffic passes. Most
streets in residence sections of Wash
ington are dim and full Of shadows
at night, and some of these streets
are main traffic ways east and west
and north and south. There is no
doubt that many accidents are due

Hunters and Wild Turkeys.

With the hunting season under way
in many States the newspapers are
receiving dispatches which relate the
customary assortment Of accidents.
There has been printed the usual
story of the hunter who thought he
saw a deer and shot man. In the
mountains Of Maryland one boy shot
another. believing him to be a wild cat
From Pensacola comes news that two
hunters mistook each other for wild
turkey. The message says: Each be.
lieving the other to be a wild turkey.
SO realistic were their respective imi-
tative calls. two Walton County
hunters crept toward each other just
at daybreak yesterday and one shot
and seriously wounded the other"
There are some extenuating circum.
stances for these hunters. 1t was just
break O. day and visibility was low.
Each was using the song or speech Of
a turkey How far these hunters have
progressed in learning the language
of, the wild turkey one cannot say,
but 1t seems that each thought the
other spoke 1t "fuently."
Because each of these hunters con-
sidered the other n master OF the
wild turkey language 1t does not fol-
low that he was. The proper test
would have to be made on the wild
turkey. If the hunters vocabulary,
pronunciation and accent were good
enough to deceive the wild turkey, it
would surely be feather in the cap
Of the hunter. but 1t does not appear
from the dispatch that either Of the
hunters fooled a turkey.
