ON THE PATHWAY OF PROGRESS
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

Let us today, with reverence and pride,
Review the splendid record of the
years.
With hearts inspired and hopes inten-
q. sified,
Let us pay homage to those pioneers
Who fought their way across a conti-
nent
And built a nation from a wilderness!
So nobly their heroic lives were spent
That we enjoy the fruits of their
success.
BY them the path of progress has been
made
A boulevard; the covered wagon train
Is now q wondrous motor car parade.
And, as we ponder on these things,
we gain
A clearer vision of the distant goal
Toward which our fathers bravely led
the way;
We gain new faith and greater strength
of soul
To meet the problems we may find
today.

The PrOximate Cause OF Automobile Accidents

suddenly in front of the machine on
the right and came to a sudden stop.
The driver of the machine to the
right, in order to avoid a collision
with the other car, turned his ma
chine quickly up an intersectlng
street. where he struck pedestrian
and seriously injured him. Now most
of us who operate automobiles have
a feeling that in order to be liable
to a person for his injuries, we must
ourselves actually strike him or run
him down, and few of us, indeed,
would feel>that we were liable to a
man who had been knocked down by
another machine. Yet in the case
outlined above, the injured party
brought suit against the owner OF the
machine which had cut in front OF
the machine which struck him, and
although there had been no contact
or collision in any way between him
and that machine, the supreme court
affirmed a large and substantial YER
dict against the owner of that ma
chine and declared that his actions
in cutting in front of the other car
and bringing his machine to a sud
den stop was the prOXimate cause
of the accident.
OF course, the injured party might
have brought a suit against the car
which struck him or in some states
might have sued the owners OF both
machines, but the fact which is OF
interest in connection with the case
is that the driver of the car cutting
out was "hooked" for the damages
although there was no contact what
ever between his car and the injured
man. This question of proXimat'
cause will be further discussed II
subsequent articles.

The operatOr of an automobile is
liable for the consequences of his
negligent acts only so far as the lat
ter are the proXimate cause OF the
former. This means that the mere
fact that the operator has violated
the law of the road in some respect
does not render him liable for in
iuries received by another person
unless the act really caused the IN
juries.
To illustrate, it may be said that
the mere failure of the owner TO
register under the law of his state
would not be the prOXimate cause OF
an injury resulting from the use of
his machine, or the fact that the
driver of the machine is guilty of the
very reprehensible act of not stop
ming and rendering assistance TO the
injured party after the accident may
make him criminally liable, but IS
no evidence of his responsibility Tor
the accident. There must be real
causal connection between the act
of negligence and the resulting in
iurv although, of course, the liabil-
itv extends to all injuries which are
the proximate cause of the negli-
gence in question.
1t is not required that the negli-
geuce be the sole cause of the INJURY
or the direct cause of the injury, for
in many cases indirect causes have
been held by the courts to be the
proximate cause.
In this connection, a rather start
ling decision has recently been hand
ed down by the supreme court oi
one of our states where two ma
chimes were proceeding IN the same
direction along a city street; II

THERE'S something very solid and sub
stantial about Prince Albert. Dependable
... as a good friend should be. Uni
forrrly mild and mellow. It always tastes
the same-which means that it always
tastes great! The reason for all this is
the excellent quality of the tobacco.
Prince Albert quality has made this
one brand the most popular among pipe
lovers; has earned for it the title of the
National Joy Smoke. Get yourself
tidy red tin of P. A. today at the nearest

The newly organized Lyon Village
Citizens Association added its protest
against the proposed construction and
operation Of the Loughbol ough belt
line railroad at it's regular monthly
sneettng last night in the Office of
Lyon & Fitch, Inc.
A resolution vigorously opposing the
project was adopted unanimously and
the association authorized the appoint
nnent of a special committee to investi-
gate thoroughly the objects and route
of the line and the present status of.
the controversy which developed. fol
lowing the announcement of the plans
for its construction The special COM
nittee appointed by President Monroe
H. Stockett follows: Amos c. Crounse.
chairman; Horace Benton, German
NJ. Hendricks and James f. Chinn.
See Deprecated Values.
The resolution sets forth that the pro-
posed freight railroad would traverse
a section of Arlington County now de-
voted exclusively to residential devel-
opnnent and would seriously detract
from its value and desirability. Such
depreciation in values so close to our
own community" it declared would
subject the adjoining communities to
the liability of an influx of numerous
highly undesirable persons and nui-
sances indelibly associated with freight
railroads and might dangerously
affect the plans for park development
and boulevard extension now under
consideration by State and Federal au-
thorities'
The secretary of the organization
was directed to send a copy of the
resolution to the Loughborough Belt
Line interests which are sponsoring
the enterprise and the proper State
authorities.
The necessity of physical education
as a part of the public school curric-
ulum was stressed by Prof. Fletcher
Kemp superintendent of schools of
Arlington County. the association s
guest speaker. Prof. Kemp also out
lined the rapid growth of the school
population of the county and declared
that if better and increased facilities
are provided the taxpayers must not
be too reluctant to unloose their purse
strings.
Low Cost of Schooling.
The schools of Arlington County,
Supt. Kemp pointed out, are equal, if
not superior to the public schools of
the District of Columbia and the cost
of education in the county is so per
cent lower than it is in Washington.
He referred in this connection to the
high educational records attained by
Arlington County school graduates in
the Washington high schools.
Nine members were admitted to the
association by unanimous vote. They
are Mrs. William Medley. Mrs. NJ. H.
Stockett, Mrs. Amos c. Crounse, Mrs.
H. E. Stelle. J. 1. Cason, Mrs. c. W.

THE INSPIRER By Garrett T, Seryiss

OF oxygen's discoverer on all &c
casions, openly congratulating
him upon hts broad catholicity
and his devotion to the instilling

SANITY"
Science has nothing to do with
atheism. or with any mans belief
or lack of belief concerning re-
ligion. On the other hand, when
religious enthusiasts attack sci
ence on the ground that 1t is an
enemy of religion they are setting
up a "man-of-straw" to shoot at.
and the professional atheists help
them construct their imaginary
target.
Nothing could be more contra
dictory to the spirit of scientific
inquiry than the assumption that
science knows it all" Nobody
ever expressed better the real ma
ture of that spirit than Newton
when he said that he seemed to
himself to be but child playing
with pebbles on the shore of the
ocean. It cannot be denied that
occasionally an arrogant word is
spoken in the name of science, but
it is rare and exceptional, and
never represents the mind Of the
great body of scientific workers
and thinkers.
Remarkable Man
I have never met a man of sci
ence who was willing to say that
k~1 Ell
perior to his. The further the uni
verse expands before mans eyes,
and the deeper he peers into its
endless secrets, the less disposed
he becomes to think that his In.
telligence is any less subject to
overwhelming comparison than is
his tiny physical force.
Joseph Priestly was remarkable
for his many-sidedness. He was,
says Prof. Smith in the address
from which I have before quoted.
not only "the philosopher Priet.
ly." whom all chemists revere.
but he was:
Il. A writer, the philanthropy
of whose heart never slept.
"2. A MISUNDERSTANDING the
first of the age.
"3. A politician who assiduous.
ly labored to extend and illustrate
those general principles of civil
liberty which are happily the
foundation of the constitution of
his adopted country.

readers of his generation to think
and investigate beyond any writer
