I had telephoned Mildred the in

victory, and she was up waiting
for me when got in, close to.
midnight. She was highly elated
at the result and we sat and
talked for an hour. She voiced
her disappointment when I told
her I had to leave the very next
day and might be gone until the
end of the week.
What you ought to do is to
take a complete rest for ten
days." she said.
"You mean we ought to rest,

She looked tired and worn, and
I wanted very much to relieve her

the house organs were a per-

be neglected.

Galveston or some place on the

Doctor Loeb then continued his
implied attack on the Khan by
saying, they who stand forth as
the enemies of humanity are, In
deed, the foes of religion; and they
are the greatest menace to Anleri-
cas- liberty, threatening the very
vitals of It's benign institutions,
seeking to outroot the first amend
ment to the American Constitution
which guarantees to all of us the
right to worship God according to
the dictates Of ones own con-
science. They look for a State
religion of their own choosing. a
god made in their own crude ilnag-
nation.
but true religion can only mani
fest itself in broad tolerance and
sympathy for all of Gods crea-
lures. So also, true Americanism
and true art demand universal
freedom and peace, the equalization
of the human fortunes, the better
understanding between races and
creeds, the Improvement of the
human character, so that men be
rendered wiser and better, and
life be made worth it's living"

CRIME WAVE
ON JAZZ
Rabbi OF Ohev ShoIom Syna-
gogue Delivers scathing At
tack on Music" of Today

THE crime wave Of today is an
effect and not q cause of this
desecrated religion, jazzified art
and outraged citizenship" Doctor
j.. T. Loeb, of the Ohev Sholom
Synagogue, declared over WRC last
night, in a bitter attack on jazz. !"
After telling Of the good effect
good music has on man, Doctor
Loeb said: "If, then, music is a
heavenly gift in possession Of man,
the outpouring of the human soul,
1t should never be desecrated nor
applied for unwholesome and un-
savory purposes"
We note to our regret that the
musical art today has been defiled
-jazzified, as they call it-by the
discordant strains and barbaric mo-
TONS, in order to satisfy the crav-
ings of hilarious and maddening
throngs. We may, in like manner,
view with horror how religion has
been desecrated and defiled by
demoniac hordes, masquerading in
their lily-white nanteIs of 100 per
cent pietism, saintliness and self
assumed American birthright.
Small wonder then that crime
is SO rampant, that lawlessness is

Before and After.

While we were running through
the police reports of the fifty
two traffic deaths that have hap
.pened in Washington so far this
year, we got to wondering what
effect the new regulations were
having on the death rate.
So we fixed up a sort of "be-
fore and after taking" schedule
with May 13 as the dividing line.
1t didn't seem reasonable to ex-
pect the advantages of the new
code to appear the next day after
1t went into effect, so we gave
it ten days grace instead of fig
uring on May 3, the day the
new code became legal.
When the code first went into
effect the director thought ten
days was about right for drivers
to become acquainted with the
new rules, and told the police
not to get rough until after the
thirtecn1h.
Between January l and May 10,
then, there were twenty-eight
fatal traffic accidents in Wash
ington. Twenty eight deaths in
that period-133 .days-gives a
TdL0 u SSN6LIy -SCNCLL AhtoAAlAOS
per year.
Between May 13 and August
27-the date of the last fatality
--twenty-four people were killed.
That gives, for the LOG day
period, a yearly rate of eighty
two, or tive per year more than
the rate under the old regulations.
Ahead of the Game
But even at that, things are
a lot better this year than they
were last. - This year the fifty
second traffic death was not at
tanned until August q, while last
year it occurred on August ].
We're twepty-six days ahead or
the game this year.
The outlook is for improve
ment, whether you take the
fatality rate, prevailing under the
old code, seventy-seven per year,
or the rate under the new one,
eighty-two per year, or the aver
age since January /. 80
In each case the figures .indi-
cate a considerable reduction
over the death record of 1874
which was ninety-one.
Up to September 5 last year,
Sc people had been killed. The
corresponding date this year
shows So killed. Unless some
thing very unusual happens be-
tween now and December 81, this
wear is bound to have a smaller
fatality list than either 1923 or
1924.
Must Hurry Killings
To equal last years record
we'd have to start in today and
kill a victim every three days un-
til the end of the year-ten peo-
pIe month for four months.
For the greater part of the year
we've been averaging o My
little over half that. and It's too
late to start in changing that
record very much now.
Those are the most important
figures-the number of deaths.
A good many people would like
to know how the other accidents
are heading. Those figures are
harder to get at. because there s
more of them-about 1850 men,
women and children have been
injured since January l, accord
ing to the best reports we can
get.
Those figures always used to be
published monthly, but we have
not seen any now since June /.
Looks like a monthly statement
of the number of collisions, non
fatal injuries, ETC., would be a
good object lesson for careless
drivers.

Gang Wrecks Signs
BY DONALD McDOUGAL

The street repair gang ripped
up the surface of Florida avenue
where it crosses Eighteenth
street, including the stop signs
the other day. Then they came
along and resurfaced it, without
putting the stop signs back.
That leaves a right fat chance
for some bull-headed driver, not
very we'll acquainted with the
place, to demand right of way
over Eighteenth street, not know
ing it's boulevard, while some
pound Of flesher running down
Eighteenth hangs on to the right
of way clear through to the
morgue.
It's been like that about ten
days now, but we don't look for
anything drastic to happen until
more people get back from their
vacations.
