A Step Nearer.

A step nearer better traffic condi-
tions in the National Capital was
taken Yesterday when the House
passed the bill amending in several
important respects the traffic code
under which the city is operating.
Complete power in revocation OF per.
rits and absolute authority over all
vehicles using the streets was given
to Director Eldridse in the revised
measure. as well as permission to
Of three years at cost Of 81 a year.
An appeal from his ruling to the
Court of Appeals is provided in the
bill. the permit TO remain revoked.
however. until the appeal Is decided.
Authority to revoke permits Of unfit
drivers has been the keynote Of III.
rector Eldridges fight to make the
streets safer for the lava biding mo.
torist and for pedestrians. Almost
as soon as he took Office II was ap-
parent to him that a great many per
sons were driving automobiles here
who had heen arrested for hasra mt
viola tions Of the regulations hut had
never heen brought to trial. and that
many who were physically and men
tally incompetent to ha andle cars in
the present day concested traffic were
operating machines.
in carrying out the dictates OF Con
Eress in the original traffic code for
the establishment of boulevard and
erterial highways the ira ffic director
has been handica pped by the refusal
OF the street car compa nies to obey
his rulings on compulsory stops The
Public Utilities Commission supported
the compa nes in their stand. Under
the hill as passed yesterday bv the
House Mr.. Eldridge is given authority
TO make all vehicles conform to the
general traffic scheme, and street ca RS
will be compelled to respect bouleva rd
stops.
Washington will start its clea ming.
up process next July in the issua nee
of new drivers permits. The time
for calling in old permits was orig
fnally set for March, but was extend.
Cd at the request of the Commission
ers. Once every three wears after
July every motorist will he required
to demonstrate his fitness to drive
an automobile within the confines of
the District.
Prompt action by the Senate in
concurrinE with the House on Wash
ington's traffic code will, therefore
enable Mr.. Eldridge to revoke the
permits OF hundreds and perha ps
thousa nds of undesirable drivers TO
weld into a single harmonious unit
the various users of the streets and
TO weed out in the check.up and re-
issuance Of permits in July MANY
who never should have been allowed
to operate automobiles.
This traffic matter has been one
or the live issues Of the prese mt session
OF Congress. 1t has been conceded on
all sides that the original code must
he amended. 1t is now up to the Sen.
ate to act promptly so that these
needed reforms can be instituted at
once.

SHOOTING STARS.

We're seeking the la nd Of the May Day,
Where the skies are clear and kind,
Swinging along toward the play day
Through the land of Never Mind

That leave us no heart for song;

When the storm beats fierce nd long.
And when we're no longer lonely
And our griefs are left behind,
We'll remember the shadows only
AS the land of Never Mind.
