Eldridge Working Out Scheme
to Protect Pedestrians
at Crossings

Movement toward plan fol
pedestrian control in the District
Of Columbia Isl gradually being
made, Traffic Director M. o. Ed
ridge said today.
Suggestions are being sought
from other cities where pedes-
TRANS are regulated in much the
same manner as automobile traf-
fic, Director Eidridge said, and
the idea is taking shape for appli-
cation in Washington
Plans TO Be Submitted
Such d plan probably win be sub
mitted for consideration by the
Board OF Commissioners after Di-
rector Eldridge has received advice
on the legal aspect which must be
taken into view.
Approval Of pedestrians control
regulations BY the Commission
would mean relief ftha many diff
culties which now are being con-
fronted., according to Mr.. Eldridge.
He pointed out the conditions on
several Of the more crowded thor.
oughfares where 1t is necessary for
pedestrians to daily risk their lives
before selling the right-of-Way from
motorists.
Although it IS possible that no
fine would be imposed on pedes-
TRANS II they violated the proposed
regulation, they would have some
definite idea as to their rights at
intersections. it was said.
Automatic Lights
Installation OF the automatic
lights for traffic control on Six
teenth street and Massachusetts
avenue northwest, is seen as one
Of the first steps toward pedestrian
control.
On these streets between the
flashing of red or green lights, Q
yellow light win be visible and
during the appearance of that light
pedestrians will cross the streets.

ISLANDER BY INFERENCE

n fairness to its thousands of honest, loyal workers, the
Postoffce Department should have made it clear just who
and what are the six men recently discharged on the allegation
that they used money to influence wage legislation. That would
have prevented the natural inference that they represented the
clerks and carriers with whom the public comes into everyday
contact.
The clerks and carriers need the wage increase. now at
issue. The clerks and carriers are most seriously injured by the
revelation Of Postmaster General New. But the six men
charged with using improper methods in behalf of the postal
pay bill have little in common with the clerks and carriers,
their interests, in fact, being largely in conflict.
The six men represent, if they represent anything, the Ma
tional Association Of Supervisory Employees. The clerks and
carriers are their subordinates and are not eligible to member
ship in their organization.
Four Of these men were assigned by the Postoffce Depart
ment last March to advise the congressional joint committee in
its work on the postal bill Their work was not in the interest
Of the clerks and carriers and the latter opposed many of their
efforts.
The Postofice Department sprung its coup evidently with
out considering the slanderous effect of it's action on the great
mass OF It's underpaid men and women employees. It is to be
hoped that this action, SO essentially unfair, will arouse waver-
ing members of Congress to the need Of doing Justice to a great
army Of Woodworking public servants.

-EISS GERALDINE HADLEY,
EIkH head of the foods and cloth
LII ing department of Technical
High School. defends the high school
girl of today.
She believes they are sound in
mind and character. In proof she
cites their growing interest In home
arts. There are over TOO girls en-
rolled in food and clothing classes at
Technical.
Which indicates that not all mod
ern maids are training to become
bobbed-hair bandits.
This should comfort those who
fear that girls are going to perdi-
ton. And who lugubriously predict
the extinction Of the home.
To many Observation-Disclosures
minds the foundations of the home
crumbled when skirts climbed out OF
the dust and young women began
to have ankles. But somehow do
mesticity survived that blow.
The modern girl is not a sickly
mid Victorian damseEbut an intel
ligent human being. And she isn't
as lurid as she's sometimes painted.
For her interest in domestic arts is
as keen as though she wore hoop
skirts and swooned expertly.
AS long as she maintains that In
terest the future of the home win be
safe. And she will prove as compe-
tent a home-maker as any maiden
OF the mansard-roof period Of archi-
lecture.
