More Police Needed for
Traffic Regulation
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
l desire to commend the thought
expressed in your editorial of De-
cember 9, entitled "A Larger Traffic
Squad" and sincerely trust you will
continue your efforts in this respect
l quite agree with you as to the de-
STABILITY, IL not actual necessity, of
having highly trained men stationed
at congested intersections to assist in
the orderly movement of traffic, and
a sufficient number of motor cycle
patrolmen to cope with the reckless
and drunken drivers, This would
facilitate traffic and promote safety,
and should. / feel, receive first con-
sideration in the apportionment of
available men by those in charge of
traffic. We find, however, that, not
withstanding the shortage of availa-
BILE men. there are about 20 able
bodied policemen engaged in the use
less and futile ceremony OF checking
automobiles Inland out Of spaces and
apprehending the good and peaceful
citizen who leaves his automobile
longer than the allotted time. While
the parking situation Is perhaps of
some consequence, 1t certainly fades
into insignifcance when compared
cles and safety of pedestrians.
Would it therefore not be prudent to
devote all available men to the major
subjects of the traffic problems. and,
as this force is supplemented, con-
slider the minor problems? The
parked automobile can neither kill
nor in jure, and so long as 1t remains
stationary it is without the stream
Of already overcrowded- traffic.
All good motorists-and, fortunate
ly, they are in the great majority
are, as you suggest. readily amen
able to regulations and signals, but
the promulgation and attempted en-
forcement Of unnecessary regula-
tions tends to detract from a strict
observance of the vital regulations.
-. STANLEY D. WILLIS.

Woodrow Wilson.

congress pauses today in its legisla.
tive activities to honor the memory of
Woodrow Wilson, who died February 8
last. This particular date has no signifi.
canoe, but it is appropriate to the sea-
son of the year. Congress has oppor.
tunity now which it will lack on the
anniversary of Mr.. Wilson's death to
pay this tribute to a man who in his
eight years of administration exer.
clsed so important an influence upon
American and world affairs.
Mr.. Wilson survived nearly three
Years from the end of his term of
office as President. He was during
that time an invalid. Yet he main
tained his intellectual power until very
close to the end. He manifested q
Keen interest in matters of legisla.
tion, and particularly in the problems
of foreign relationship.
Estimates of Woodrow Wilson,
services to humanity as an advocate
of peace and international understand.
ing are not affected by political con.
siderations. The sincerity of his desire
for an effective organization of the
nations to the end of settling differ
ences without conflict is universally
recognized. He was stricken with ILL
ness at the height of his fight for
American participation in such an or
ganlzadon. His last days as President
Il
to. secure American association with
the League of Nations. The months of
his retirement from public life were
filled with reflections upon the details
OF that struggle.
Asperities aroused by the contest
over the entrance of the United States
into the league have softened Two
national campaigns have been fought
and the verdict of the American peo.
pie has been rendered definitely and
distinctly against that proposal. The
solemn referendum" which Mr.. VIII
son asked has yielded it's answer in
certain terms of rejection. Thus in
paying tribute today to him Congress
does not reopen the question with
which he was SO closely identified. 1t
records its appreciation Of his service
to the country and to mankind
A deep and lasting affection is felt
by the people Of this country for
Woodrow Wilson. Sympathy for him
in his affliction and his disappoint-
ment increased after his retirement
from office, and at his death, on the
Sd of February, 1924. this sentiment
was manifested in expressions of pro-
found sorrow by all the people. Now
in formal terms this feeling is being
expressed by the representatives of
the people in a ceremonial service of
honor to the man who presided over
the affairs of the country during eight
years and who led it in war and in the
making of peace in one Of its great
crises.

Christmas Trees and Fire.

The Treasury Department puts a
ban on Christmas trees because of fire
danger. The announcement is made
that mo more candle-lighted Christ.
mas trees will twinkle their holiday
cheer through the Treasury Depart
ment as they have in the past" Or
ders have gone from the chief clerk
that the old practice must not be fol
lowed ION account Of danger by IRE. ~
The Fire Department win tell you
that there il danger from fire in
Christmas trees, and also that the
whiskers of Santa Claus are infiam-
mabie. The lighted candle on the
Christmas tree sets flre to the needles
and branches. and the danger becomes
greater when the Christmas tree, pre-
served because Of its beauty. gets dry.

Treasury will have much effect on the

The Fourteen Opportunities.

Fourteen opportunities to make a
practical Christmas gift are offered to
the people Of this city by the Associat-
ed Charities. For the fifteenth time a
list of IA family groups has been pre-.
pared, each group requiring funds for
maintenance during the coming year.
The total Of these amounts needed is
s13,3SS. One of the opportunities has
already been taken by the kiwanis
Club, SO that there now remain for the
public at large to care for only 13
cases.
1t has been the practice in the past
to close these opportunities by Christ.
mas day. Washington should main
tain Its record in this respect. Indeed,
before dark on the oath Of December
every dollar needed for this budget
should be subscribed
There is money enough in Washing
ton that can be spared from other
uses to complete this Christmas char
ity gift. Every case presented is
worthy. These IA family groups have
been chosen with great care. The
sums allotted to them have been meas.
ured by actual needs. If those funds
are subscribed these families will be
held together. If the money is not
forthcoming they must be separated.
In no more practical way can char
ity, which is the spirit of Christmas,
be expressed than by giving to this
portunities now and give quickly and
abundantly, with the example of the
I<iwanis Club stimulating to the end
of record breaking discharge Of this
duty. -

spirit Of watch your step" They in
innate that the little duck in the pud-
die, which means the average man,
would do we'll to bear in mind the ad.
monitions which will be doubtless fol-
lowed by the big fellows. "
Mr. Reynolds, for instance, found
every one in the East happy. cheerful
and optimistic. But he cautioned that
people must not expect the business
revival to keep pace with the speed
set by the stock market. He was not
prepared to say that the limit of stock
prices has been reached. but believes
there may be more irregularities Of
He found substantial evidences of i'm.
provement in the business situation
aside from the barometric forecast OF
the stock advances.
Mr.. Taylor said that il the common
sense Of the people prevailed there
are two. perhaps more, years of, pros
perity ahead. But all depends upon
how we proceed. II business men be-
come overenthusiastic and attempt to
anticipate the future too far there is
apt to be a reaction. One temptation
to be avoided Is that to increase prices.
Mr.. Taylor regards this as a great
danger. Caution must be exercised
against increase Of prices by manufac-
turers and against unwise demands
for increased wag He pointed out
that the funded debt today is as great
as it was in 1920, and If prices and
wages go up another buyers strike
such as was witnessed in that year
may be apprehended. Individual econ
omy and industry, OF course, will con-
tinue as always to be an elementary

In 1914 a treaty was negotiated. and
in 1916 ratified, whereby the United
States gained exclusive right in per-
petuity to construct AND maintain,
free from NicaraEuan taxes. a canal
across the country, in consideration
of $3,000,000. The same treaty gave
US a lease of two islands in the
Caribbean Sea for . naval base. This
lease, for 80 years, Is protested by
other Central American nations,
through the Roosevelt-establishe
peace court. on the ground that in
case we were at war with & Euro
pean nation tho naval base would at
.tract hostilities there. and jeopardize
the peace OF Central America. The
protest is ignored by both parties to
the treaty.
