SCHULDT OFFERS S25 PRIZES
FOR SAFETY ESSAYS IN SCHOOLS
Police Judge Hopes to Encourage accident Prepen.
ton, Declaring Dissolution Of Safety Coun-
Gil Makes Some Action Mandatory.

A prize of $25 for the best slogan.
safety has been offered to the public
school children of the District of Co
lumbia by Judge Gus A. Schuldt of
the Police and Traffic Courts. A let
ter to this effect was received today
by DR. Frank w. Ballou, superinten-
dent of the District schools.
The prize will be divided so that
$3.50 will be given the winner in the
grades up to and including the sixth,
and $3.50 to the winner in the grades
above the sixth. In writing the essay,
it is requested that not more than
800 words be used.
In the letter to DR.. Ballou Judge
Schuldt stated:
The dissolution of the Washington
Safety Council leaves our city with
out any medium for the propagation
of the doctrine of safety, so necessary
to curtail the appalling list of acci-
dents occurring in our midst.
Sees Problem Growing.
"I believe this problem is one Of
serious import and, as time goes on,
will become even more so. I believe,
further, that safety education should
be inculcated into the minds of our
school children, to the end that the
coming generation will be more care
full and practice safety both in walk
ing and in the operation of automo-
biles"
In commenting today upon his offer
the Judge said:
T Washington so far this year has
had nine deaths and 327 injured to
its discredit. What can we do to
remedy this appalling condition?
Il am firm believer in traffic edu-
cation in it's application to safety.
Both pedestrians and autoists should
be educated to be more careful. This
is an important subject and has been
forcibly brought to my attention by
the numerous col1iding cases coming
before the court. Some of these were
caused by the carelessness of the
autoists and others by the negligence

thirds of them could have been
avoided.
The dissolution of the Washington
Safety Council leaves US one of the
few cities of the United States not
having such an organization for the
dissemination of safety propaganda.
1t is sad commentary upon our civic
pride that public interest did not sup
port such a society. 1t sought to in
still into tho minds of the autoists
the doctrine of safe driving, and
schools were established where COM
prehensive lessons were taught along
these lines. l attended several Of
these sessions and was greatly inter-
ested in the earnestneSs of both pu-
pills and teachers. My experience and
observation is that great majority
of our drivers have not a thorough
knowledge of our regulations and
that constant repetition and educa-
tion of them are necessary.
Wants Safety Taught.
Many jurisdictions are teaching
safety in the schools, and l think 1T
should be taught here. A few schools
have junior safety councils, particu-
larly the Grant School. 1 recently at
tended one of their meetings and was
much impressed with the talks by
the children upon safety and preven-
ton of accidents. They recited how
dangerous it was to skate in crowded
streets, to run into the streets for
balls, how one should be careful in
crossing the streets, especially from
behind parked automobiles, and gen.
orally the foolishness of jay walking.
To cap the climax they had a tableau
wherein actors, the students, came on
with bandaged heads and arms and
on crutches showing the result of
non-obeyance of safety rules. 1t was
very impressive.
This small offer is only an ex-
preston of my idea as to the impor-
tance of the subject, and l trust 1t
will result in bringing the matter to
the thoughtful attention of the school
authorities"

FINE FUTURE SEEN
FOR RUSSIAN MUSIC
Sir Paul Dukes Traces Rapid
Growth of Art Based Large
Iy on Folk Songs.

Sir Paul Dukes, English lecturer,
who lived in Petrograd for many
years, gave still another angle to that
interesting subject, Russian Music"
at Central High School under the au
spices of the Society of Fine Arts last
night
Sir Paul did not discuss at length
the works of the master Russian COM
posers, and did not mention the ex-
treme moderns such as Stravinsky
and Prokofieff at all. He stated his
purpose to confine his remarks to
folk music.
1T is within the last hundred years
that music has developed in Russia"
said Sir Paul, "and, when one con-
siders that in that time the works of
Russian composers have won highest
recognition, the fact seems even more
remarkable. Glinka, frequently called
the father of Russian music was
the first great composer. Although
he was the first and borrowed his
themes from folklore music, his
operas seem modern.
Famous Work Suppressed.
His most famous work, Life for the
Gar" was suppressed by the boil
sheviks because it dealt with royalty.
AS a matter of fact, it is extremely
democratic in music and theme. Glin-
ka told friends of his that a cabman
inspired one of its melodies with a
snatch of music. He was criticized
for taking music from "cabmen and
servants" and is said to have re-
sponded that "cabmen and servants
were rapidly becoming superior to the
aristocracy." which might indicate
that Glinka sensed the downfall of
the old regime.
The first collection of Russian folk
songs, according to Sir Paul, was
made 60 years ago. Twelve different
collections contain about 400 melo-
dies. The lecturer, however, is of the
opinion that thousands more must
exist, because, in village of only
5000 people, Rimsky- Korsakoff found
one Summer 40 folk songs not known
elsewhere.
Want New National Song.
At the present time a matter of
discussion in Russia in regard to
music concerns the. choosing of a
new national anthem. The old Rus
sian hymn was abolished by the boil
sheviks because it was used by the
Czar. A work, distinctly un-Russian
in character and called the "Interna-
tionaie" was substituted.
Now the popular "Volga Boat
Song" of the people and an old church
hymn of dignified cadences are con-
sidered. With the exception of
Glazounov, all the great composers
and musicians of Russia have left the
country.

INJUNCTION SEQUEL
IN TRIANGLE CASE
Husband Defents ri, al for
Wife's Affection When

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO March 3.-Preliminary to
the trial of a suit for separate main
tenanee filed against Bradford Whit
ing, vice president of the Whiting
Corporation, by his wife, an injunc-
tion restraining Whiting from dis
posing of his property, or from invest
ing it on the stock market, was granted
yesterday by Judge Ryner of the Cir
cult Court. In the bill asking for sep
arate maintenance fore the Injunction
Mrs. Whiting charged her husband
with being too -affectionate with
Jane Doe She accuses her husband
also of intoxication and the excessive
use of drugs.
The Chicago Tribune today printed
news story about a socially promi-
nent Chica goan who stepped out will
lingly to let his wife marry the man
she loved. and then defended his wife
and the other man when the latter
was condemned in a suit for sepa-
rate maintenance rather than di-
vorce suit.
Such is Richard Tomkinson, for
mer husband of Marjorie Tomkinson,

for separate maintenance" says the
Tribune.
Both Amateur Yachtsmen.
Mr.. Tomkinson is an advertising
man and like Whiting, is an amateur
yachtsman-
1t was at a breakfast in the Tom
kinson apartment at which Whiting
was a guest. January s last, said the
Tribune, quoting Tomkinson, that
Whiting announced:
: "Dick. Peggy and I can't go on
like this any more. She and l love
each other"
"At first I wanted to knock my
friend Brad Whiting all over the
place." the Tribune quoted Tomkin-
son as saying last night. Then be-
fore l knew it I was admiring him
for coming out clean I" -
We'll, the short. of it was that
promised to let Peggy divorce me
because l was sure Paulette really
wanted a divorce"
Mrs. Tomkinson recently obtained
a divorce, and last week Mrs. Whit
ing sued for separate maintenance,
alleging Whiting was addicted to
dope" and was a drunkard, there
by crossing the plans for Whiting
and Mrs. Tomkinson to be married.
"She must at least not brand Brad
a drunkard and dope addict; he is
neither" the Tribune quotes Tomkin-
son as saying.
