DR.. HRDLIcKA FINDS INDIA
REALLY A HOT COUNTRY

If you think Washington has hot
weather, listen to this. from Doctor
Alex FIrdlicka, curator OF physical
anthropology, National Museum.
Doctor Hrdlicka is travelling in Asia.
1--WE are on a train. passing
through the scorched plains Of
Northern India" writes Doctor
HrdIicka. 1.-The temperature is
somewhere over the mark - the
other day it was between 107 and
112, according to spot. But it does
not matter much. only when one
touches the window sill it burns.
And when the hand is put outside,
the air is like that from an oven. :"
It isn't the heat that distresses
travellers in India so much, it's. the
dust, according to Doctor Hrdlicka.
The curator is conducting a survey
of Asia, Australia and Africa-the
stamping grounds Of early man and
his apelike predecessors.

|. DEFENDER Of
YOUTH
Noted Modernist Addresses
416 G. w. Students Who
Get Degrees

The Reverend Harry Emerson
Fosdick, noted New York modern
list, came to the defense of the
younger generation in his address
last night at the commencement
exercises of George Washington
University in the Washington
Auditorium.
''Some people stand aghast," Doc
tor Fosdick declared, "at this
younger generation. am not SO
sure that the, younger generation
is any worse than the old. If
some of the old ice-bound men and
women who are want to criticize
the younger generation would re.
fleet a little on their own youth
they would certainly revise their
opinions.
PERSONALLY, I thank God for
the candor and frankness Of pres.
ent day boys and girls" asserted
the speaker, who proposed religion
as the safeguard against present.
day laxity, adding, mot religion
that scares one into doing things,
but a faith wherein you select
some loyalty and be loyal"
Degrees were awarded to 416
students at the exercises which
were the 104th in the history OF
the university. Wilbur John Carr,
Assistant Secretary Of State in
charge Of consular affairs, and
Edward J. Henning, Judge Of the
Southern California district, and
formerly Assistant. Secretary of
Labor, received the honorary de-
gree of doctor of laws.
To Alexander w. Gregg, solicitor
Of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
was awarded the honorary degree
of master Of arts. The opening
prayer and benediction We're pro-
Tfounced by the Reverend Doctor

Smart Aleck's Score.

Advance figures of motor acci-
dents in Washington show that
$50 occurred In April and S61 in
May.
May is a longer month than
April and is entitled to more ac-
cidents, as it were. Reduced to a
30-day basis, May would show a
toll of 833 smashes, or three per-
cent less than April.
The number of pedestrians in
jured shows daily average 13
per cent less in May than in
April, and the number Of persons
injured while riding in motor
vehicles shows a SO per cent in
crease.
This looks as though drivers
have not generally become familiar
with the new right-of-way rule.
When they see the other man
slowing up, as the regulation re-
Quires, they think he's yielding
the right-of-way.
The regulation, however, says
very clearly that the man on the
left must look out for the man
on the right.
That so per cent increase shows
the bad results Of failing to comply
with the regulations.

Question of Parking in
Front of Ones Own
Home Is Up to
Court Ruling
Accidents During May
By DONALD McDOUGAL.

A reader asks The Times to
answer the following questions
about the traffic regulations:
Q) Is 1t unlawful to park a
car in front OF your own property
or rented property?
~ Is 1t unlawful to park a car
on the opposite side OF a street
from q school between the hours
Of $3.50 a. m. and $40 p. M?
Only the court has the alf.
thority to decide whether these
: acts are unlawful or not. And
even the court can decide only
when some individual is brought
before it, accused OF violating
the law by performing these acts.
The best that. anyone can do
is to tell what the regulations
say, and what they probably
mean, and how the courts have
decided similar cases.
Parking rules are IN the same
category with the one-way street
regulation. A driver wouldn't
stand much chance In court IL
he should claim that he was free
to drive the wrong way in front
Of his property.
We recall two cases where
parking violators pleaded that
they bad parked In front Of their
houses. One testified that he
had business at home that
couldn't be postponed. The court
took his personal bond and told
him to bring some money next
time.
The other man was fined two
dollars, and told not to come
again
The regulation about parking
in the vicinity of schools reads:
No parking shall be permitted
In front Of or along the side Of
any school, public or private Of
elementary grades, junior Or
junior high school which may be
In use as schools between the
hours OF $50 a. m. and $50 D. mi.
and no parking shall be permitted
on the opposite side Of streets
adjacent to such school property
as may be officially designated"
According to that you can
park opposite a school house, il
it hasn't been officially designated.
The regulation doesn't say how
the school is to be designated,
but the court has always held
that drivers must be warned by
signs in such cases.
While driving through the block
to the parking place opposite the
school house, you must run at
speed not greater than eight miles
an hour during certain periods,
the preamble to Section II says.
And you had better be pretty
sure Of your parking place before
you enter the block, because IL
there isn't any, you've got to

merchandise to Vladivostok are fi- nanced by Japanese banks; that is, no drafts are discounted against doc uments, and no bank will buy export bills on Russia. Japanese exporters deliver their goods in Vladivostok, re- ceiving payment from the Russian gov ernment in chervontsy, which are then exchanged at the Bank of Chosen for notes or drafts on the latter banks.
 At present two Russian banks are located in Vladivostok, both govern metal institutions. One is a branch of the Russian State Bank, which is bank of issue. The other is the Russian FarEastern Bank, a semi governmental institution supported by both the Central and Far Eastern So- viet governments. Its head office is in Chita, and it has been organized principally for foreign trade.
 The Russian Far Eastern Bank, has made application through the prefec- tural government of Hyoko for the es- tablishment of branch in Kobe, and it is stated that further branches are planned for Tokio and Hakodate

Scenes of Auto Fatalities
 In Ohio Marked by Cross

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 21. (P- Dotting the sides of Ohios highways throughout the length of the state at frequent intervals stand white cross es. They mark spots where automo- bilists have been killed.
 Automobile drivers rounding a sharp curve in many sections come sQuarely upon a white cross, or pos sibly two or three, mute reminders that one or more persons have been killed at that spot
 Governor Vic Dohaney was respon- sible for the placing of the crosses. It was his idea that they would help to cut down automobile fatalities by making drivers more cautious They have not been installed long enough however, to draw any conclusions.
 Many automobile drivers declare they experience a sinking sensation when they suddenly come upon the crosses. The governor has been condemned for the move on the ground 1t gives rise to morbid thots; others have praised it as being a good "sedatiye" for reckless drivers.

(P-The re- suits of survey of causalties of this years Fourth of July celebratio by the American Museum of Safety and the National Committee for the pre- vention of blindness given out today. shows that Ill were killed and 1,030 injured. The analysis is made of re- ports from 300 cities in 36 states. A majority of the victims were child ren.

 The report gives evidence of only 62 arrests
 Of the Ill deaths 37 of the victims, mostly children, lost the.r lives as result Of their clothing being ignited by 50 called harmless sparklers Six very young children are reported to have died from poison by eating fire crackers.
 The largest list of casua ties was reported from St. Louis where 73 per- s.'ns were seriously hurt and 50 sui fered minor injuries. A statement accompanying the report says: The 'acI that in New York City among d population of more than six million there were only ten casualties, is con- vincing evidence of the effectiveness of restrictive legislation properly en- forced"
