their t premises. Be sure that there IS
no live Goals in the ashes when they

LACK OF SELF-CONTROL
HELD ACCIDENT CAUSE
Safety Council Official Declares
Greatest Need Is Training of
Autoists and Pedestrians.
By the Associated Pes

By the Associated Prem.
CHICAGO, April 11.-Four reasons
for the danger of automobile acci-
dents in metropolitan cities were set
forth here yesterday by Sidney J.
Williams, director of the safety divi-
sion OF the National Safety Council
at a round-table discussion at the
city Club.
Poorly developed street systems,
lack OF equipment to handle traffic
safely. lack of traffic laws and their
adequate enforcement and insufficient
personal self-control in the driver as
he picks his way through the streets
were stressed as reasons.
Mr.. Williams indorsed through
streets" as one means of eliminating
congestion which results in acci-
dents, and added that under given
conditions the greater the speed the
greater the likelihood of accident in
any emergency"
But the quickest and perhaps the
greatest results can be gained by
educating ourselves individually and
collectively to greater self-control
and greater carefulness in connection
with modern traffic. This applies to
pedestrians as well as motorists he
said.

SEEKS FREIGHT RATE CUT,
Coal Man Says D. c. Residents
Could Save $500, 900 Annually.

More than q half million dollars
would be saved to consumers of coal
in Washington If Southern coal oper-
ators were granted lower freight
rates. according to James D. Francis
Of Huntington, w. Va, who is in the
city preparing to present briefs to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in support of his stand for lower
rates. Mr.. Francis is president Of the
Island Creek Coal Co.. and chairman
of the committee of coal operators of
Kentucky, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia.
Freight rates, he said, are the same
as they have been for years, and to-
day are more than soft coal costs at
the mines. Cutting down Of freight
rates would reduce the price # coal.
Some mines are selling coal at or
below the cost OF production. while
many operators, particularly in West
Virginia, are having labor troubles.

BELL SEEKING METHOD
TOLESSEN RED TAPE
Believes More Simplicity Could Be
Secured in Issuing
Minor Permits.

Elimination of red tape" and IN
necessary delay in the issuance of
routine permits TO citizens by the
various branches of the engineer de-
partment is aimed at by Engineer
Commissioner Bell.
Col Bell discussed the question OF
more expeditions handling of the
public at a conference of his divi-
sion heads yesterday, and il was de-
cided to gather data from other cities
as to how they issue permits for
minor work.
On the other hand, Col Bell plans
to break up the practice indulged in
by some individuals of personally
conducting a paper from one office
to another in order to get it approved
sooner than IL the document went
through the regular channels.
The engineer Commissioner is in
clined to believe that many matters
which now bring taxpayers to the
District Building in person could be
carried on by mali and thereby save
the time not only of the citizens but
OF the city employees.
