HALSTEAD URGES
SPEEDOMETERS
ON EVERY AUTO
Says Such a Law Would
Curb Fast Driying-Bus
Driver Arrested.

A law requiring every vehicle
driven on the city streets to be
equipped with speedometers would
aid materially in putting a clamp on
speeding, Lieut.. Earl Halstead, in
charge Of the motorcycle division,
said after "a survey Of testimony
given in speeders' trial in city court.
IT have found after looking over
the records a great majority Of those
arrested on speeding charges haven't
any speedometer and they drive
along guessing what their speed is
Halstead said. 80 large number of
those who are breaking the speed
law are doing so unconsciously, and
if their cars were equipped with
speedometers they would probably
stay within the law.

mail carrier were arrested on speed

MAH-.JONG BEING
RESCUED FROM
MONEY MAKERS
At Last a Standardized Code
of Playing Has Been
Made,

The dove Of peace may yet hover
over the Nah Jong tables on sum
mer resort verandas. now that by
public referendum, American fans
have helped formulate a standardized
code for the popular Chinese game.
The lengthy arguments which have
preceded otherwise friendly games
may now be averted. But most i'm
portant Of all, those who have
changed Nah Jong for financial pur
poses may soon be put TO rout.
According to Lee Foster Hartman,
associate editor Of Harper's Maya
zine and OF the Austion Bridge and
Nah Joug Magazine, the game, like
many other worthy institutions, has
been tainted by characterization.
Hartman is one Of the four mem

his forthcoming book. standardized

I'm few days and which is the first
book to present the new American
Code. Hartman thus explains the
Nah Jong confusion which has pre-
vailed:
Instructors Born Over Night
Sets were imported by jobbers
and equipped with pamphlets of rules
devised by anonymous authors with
little or no knowledge Of the game.
'Fxpert' instructors were born over
night and when a slight smattering
Of knowledge Of thu. game hastily &C
uulred proved inadequate. inn
promptu rules were invented and
passed on to pupils, who in turn
passed them on TO others. Worst Of
all. there have been those who have
not hesitated to improve the game
according to their own ideas, and
then to carry on n syndicated propa-
ganda for their own financial profit.
Even the Chinese in America are not
without reproach, for certain of them
have posed as professional teachers
when their acquaintance with the
game has been Of shorter duration
than that of many Americans.
But reaction has set in. and
there arc today many encouraging
signs that the real Chinese game is
coming into it's own, now that it has
been rescued from the weller Of con-
ficting rules and usages which have
threatened to submerge 1t"
Interviewed on the commercials

that many instructors who know
little or nothing about the game.
have been getting from SIS to $40
an hour. He recalled an instance in
which a player Of special reputation
was offered 500 an hour for private
instruction, by a member of a promi-
nent New York club. The swagger
set at the watering places have been
imposed upon most. he said. They

over night to meet the demand.
Mr.. Hartman cited the case Of a
professional Chinese instructor"
who was giving lessons last summer
at Newport at exhibition prices, and
who was in reality a Japanese max

almond eyes.
Those fashionable women simply
fiocked to take lessons from this

EXPECT
QUICK APPROVAL
OF LONDON PACT
Officials Confident ReichStag
VIII Ratify Agreement
on ReparationS.

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Aug. 0.Government cir
cIes are confident today Of obtaining
the necessary two-thirds majority
for ratification Of the pact Of Lon
don.
The government confidence grows
out fthe trying straits in which
the nauonalistic forces have been
thrown. Should nationalist adopt
an over-mild attitude toward the
Dawes Young plan they will lose
many adherents and should they be
'over-antagonistic they are certain of
numerous defeats in the general
election.
Conferences Today
Today various political parties are
meeting to decide what attitude to
assume at the Friday meeting. The
committee on foreign affairs is study
| ing over the report Of the German
|conferees.
The Reichstag must decide swiftly
whether there is a new two-thirds
majority available for the Dawes leg
islation as the London agreement
must be signed by Aug. 80.
Consequently Germany is expect
ing the Reich decision early next
week.
The meeting Of the premiers Of
the German states Tuesday is indi-
cative of the way the country feels
toward the London agreement. The
premiers. including the one from
Bavaria, decided the pact of London
did not fully meet all expectations,
but that It was the best solution so
far offered on the reparations Ques-
ton.

VOTERS TO HAVE
LARGE FIELD TO
PICK FROM NOW
No Excuse for Not Casting
Your Ballot in NoVem-
Der,
Ttmes Woshfroton Bnrean,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Not-
withstanding the fact that the total
vote cast for all presidential candi-
dates in 1920 was the largest vote
ever cast at a presidential election,
there was a stay-at-home or absen-
tee vote of nearly 26.0OO,000 votes,
the total vote cast being nearly 81.
100000
You can write your ticket on why
about half the eligible voters of the
country don't vote at a presidential
election, but one Of the reasons may
be that there was little else to do
but take a choice between two ma
chine-made old-party candidates.
In Pennsylvania a little less than
2, 200, 900 voted while nearly $500, 900
who could vote didn't vote.
Only IS Out of 100 Vote
Taking Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin as a group,
for every 100 who did vote sixty-five
who had a right to vote failed to do
so.
In New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, taken collectively, for
every 100 voters there We're ninety
four stay-at-homes.
1t is customary for editors and
politicians to lecture those citizens
who fail to vote. but like most of the
lecturing Of people for failing to do
something that somebody else thinks
ought to do, this particular lecturing
Is mostly bunk.
Nobody can prove that the man
who does vote when he has only a
choice between two evil sis any more
patriotic than the man who doesn t
bother his head about voting.
Large Field to Pick From
There wasn't anything wildly ex.
citing about choosing between Cox
and Harding in 1920. though both
were fairly good citizens so far as
regular partisan politicians stack up.
And there wasn't enough difference
between the Democratic and Repub-
lean parties to be visible to the
naked eye. The fellow who didn I
vote was just as wise as the fellow
who did
The interesting thing about this
years campaign is that voters have
a bigger field to choose from. II
they can't see any difference between
Coolidge and Davis, they can take a
wallop at both ot them by voting flor

America remain a great demo

Imperialism and become an auto

Rome and autocratic Greece.
Two Great Divisions
There are those that inherently
favor democracy, and those that
seem to inherently favor imperial
autocracy. These are the two great
divisions stated by Jefferson in the
foregoing Quotation. Each represents
different and antagonistic philoso-
ply of government and economic and
social life. Democracy means politi-
cal and economic freedom for all the
people. with either the extreme of
enormous, swollen fortunes, nor alb

Imperialism means enormous eco
nomic wealth for a few with fright
full poverty for many. The first
means peace and the pursuits of
peace; the latter is provocative of
war, and the pestilence and disrup-
ton which follow war. Democracy
means the powers of government in
the hands of those that are governed,
while Imperialism means those
powers concentrated in the hands of
a limited few.

BOYS LIVING

College boys do not have as much
trouble in finding jobs as they used
to, in order to earn enough money
10 pay their way. This is especially
true with regard to students VINO
attend great institutions located in
or near large cities, but those who
are m~atriculated in college in the
smaller towns also have less trouble
in obtaining employment. The en-
pioyment is more agreeable and
more lucrative.
New York University reports that
IL placed last year., through it's en-
ployment bureau, young men and
women in 776 positions. The total
income of the students from this
work was $6O1.06S.
Seventy-four of the positions were
for less than $1,000 a year each;
seventy-seven at $1,000; 146 at
$1,000; 10 at s1.50O; 16 at 1880;
28 at $4,000; 5 at $4,000; 3 at
$4,000 and 8 at $4,000. The Jobs
ranged from sandwich man" to
specialist N from cashier and pri-
vate tutor to accountant and depart
ment manager.
Big corporations and stores and
leading clubs and societies need
men and women for extra and spe-
cial services. Thus, it happens that
1T is not so very difficult for young
persons to work their way through
college.
Students who necessarily or vol
unfairly do a little extra work are
the most serious. They are indus
trious and apply themselves intently
to their studies. The special work
which they do is a broadening di-
version. The only unpromising
students are those who feel that
they r obliged neither to work
nor to study.

BUSINESS THIS YEAR

A business man insists that the
tradition of a presidential year be-
ing a bad year for business is "only
a fable" His contention is upheld
by figures indicating that, over a
long period, there have beer more
prosperous presidential years than
dull ones. There is no visible rea-
son why this year should be an ex-
ception. Conditions at present are
fairly good. Nearly everybody who
wants work has employment at good
wages. and the demand is at least
up to the average, calling for the
steady operation of industries on a
profitable basis. Prices are good.
There is plenty of capital and credit.
Building continues strong. There is
no sign of a slump in various lines
of business.
OF politics there is plenty, but
