BETTER TRAFFIC
CONDITIONS NOW
IN EASTERN END

Traffic conditions IN the east end
of the county, which have been in
bad shape for a long time. are grad
uaHv undergoing y change for the
better. according to Walter F. Greer,
inspector in charge of the county
traffic squad,
Greer was sent here in October to
aorganize the county squad and one
Of the first things he decided upon
was regulation of traffic for all
parts OF the county.
For years the east end of the
county was without any kind of traf-
fie regulation and with the complet-
ION ef the new road from the planks
into Yuma, reckless driving and
serious accidents were reported with
alarming frequency.
Many Welcome Cop
The advent Of the motorcycle cops
into that territory a few weeks ago
was strongly resented by the lawless
element. and was Just as strongly
welcomed by the law abiding citi-
zens. egeer said today.
Report of Officers Willahan and
Wilson for one week 5 work shows
that 125 eases were investigated by
.hem. Included in these cases were
the following arrests: driving while
intoxicated, mine; reckless driving
six; speeding, six; drunkenness and
disturbing the peace. four; throw
ing rocks at ears. one; attempted
highway robbery, three.
The arrests made by the officers
resulted IN assessment Of fines
amounting to 81 l.650 The officers
covered l,2O0 miles and used 20
gallons of gasoline.
Patrol Plank Road
Wilson and Willahan patrol the
plank road once a day, and are in
constant touch with traffic coming
into the state over the Yuma bridge;
as we'll as east bound traffic at that
point
"W;th the completion of the new
road through the sandhills. there is
bound to be heavy increase in
rattle between the valley proper
md Yuma. Greer said, land we
called that the people in that sec
ion had to be educated to traffics
before the road is com
oleted. There are hundreds of !
-ourists passing over this section

asst end Of the county continued to |
ave a bad reputation for traffic
enditions, il would not take long

she Is the typical American girl;
whether she be beautiful, pretty, or
only $3.50, does not make so much
difference.
The small hat Is the definite crown
ing article Of wearing apparel fot this
glorious creature. It gives kick
to her whole appearance. a snap and
verve not found in the large hat.
The selection Of the little affair, Of
course. must be done with taste.
Simplicity is more and more gaining
the upper hand in the matter of
women's clothes, but nowhere Is this
more strikingly emphasized than IN
the hat.
Small boys Of yesterday passed un-
favorable comment on the large
feathers which adorned the hats Of
that vintage. The intricate hats Of
the Gibson.girl era have given place
small felt, which is seen on every
head.
Get out your Gibson album and
compare the absurd hats therein with
the ones you will see on the streets
today. It Is not the fact that today
is now" and 1900 was "then," that
makes the difference.
In an eternal comparison Of value,
as If done by an angel on a star, the
hat OF today is far, far in advance of
the hat Of that curious time when
women had not learned to pick and
choose for themselves.
X X X
The girls are taking a leaf out Of
their brothers book, in this, regard.
Men have always had more or less
standard clothes, in suits and hats.
| Minor changes from year to year
have not affected the general style.
| Conservative professional and bust
ness men of 1925 look much as the
same types did in 1900. Their outer
apparel Is practically the same, with
some variation in the hat outlines.
The derby is a distinct loser in the
race with the felt hat.
Some of this common sense OF dress
is now being taken over by the
women, even by the f1appers, who
are no way near as foolish as some
would try to make them out to be.
There has been too much CUFF about
the happers. After all, q happer is
just a girl. and a girl is just human
being, not rhinocerl or something.
The small hat is the perfect in.
stance Of common sense applied to
women's dress. Bobbed hair called
for a hat Of its own, with special fea-
lures. The critics deplored in vain.
This hat was found to be quite as
distinctly feminine as the large one,
and. strange to say. quite as ''dressy."
In addition, as a sports hat, 1t was
unique.
Formerly women only had "toques"
and "tams" 1--WE believe we have those
right in the small hat field, now they
have a wide range Of styles, with all
sorts OF dents in the crowns, and all
manner Of brims, straight. rolled up
and down, etc.

her search, she can find a hat that
will make her look like an angel out
on a lark.

than that?
Your husband, madam, may not
know one hat from another, but If
you hit just the right combination
hat, features. hair, smile and eyes-he
will sense the difference. Every hus-
band. in secret, wants his wife to look
like a flapper.

The. Peoples Safety Valve.

New York Is welcoming a new
champion today. 1t has scarcely re.
gained its voice after roaring accla.
nations to Gertrude Ederle and Mrs.
Corson, the Channel swimmers, when
it Is called on to greet another New
Yorker who has gained international
honors in the realm of sport. The
erstwhile Marine. Gene Tunney, con-
queror of Jack Dempsey, and there.
fore wearer of the crown of pugil.
ism as the heavyweight world cham
pion. is arriving from the Philadel-
phia battle-ground, headed for Green
Wich Village, where he lives. The
mayor of New York is on hand with a
big key of the city, and other digni-
taries are present with their best
smiles, and the usual tens of thou
sands of sensation seekers are throng-
ing the streets, while some hundreds
of New York's finest" are there to
keep order. 1t is a typical New York
gala day.
Championship in sport is certain to
arouse the popular emotions higher
than any other form of achievement.
Can the muscles of a man or a
woman stand a certain kind Of strain
Can the feet or the arms move faster
than those of competitor? Can the
ball be hit harder, or the fist more
swiftly and vigorous punched, or the
toes move more speedily? Ring the
old fire alarm bell and turn out the
militia' Deck the town with flags and
hire a band! Round up the mayor
and the councilmen. the leading
townsmen and the common or garden
citizens and have them make speeches
and dedicate their voices to the cause
of heroism!
The world loves a hero. 1t cheers
conquering soldier, a victorious
statesman, a great discoverer, a dar-
ing adventurer. But it especially
loves a hero of sport. If on the same
day two people reached town, home.
coming, the one man who had solved
the problem of Europe's financial diff
ficulties to the complete satisfaction
of everybody, the other a man, or a
woman, who had gained the laurels
of championship in some field of
sport, which would get the loudest
cheers from the largest crowds? Can
there be any doubt?
1t is just as well that this should be
so. Emotional enthusiasm for a win.
ner is wholesome. The complexities
Of political achievement do not stir
the spirits Of the crowds as deeply as
the simplicities Of specific physical &C.
complishment. It requires no expla-
nation to tell of the triumph of Gene
Tunney. The simplest understanding
can grasp the fact that he met the
champion in the ring and beat him.
So give him the best the voice can
render in the way of cheers, and the
best the bands can do in music, and
the best the officials can yield in the
way of speeches and keys to the city.
For his day, now so bright, will
eventually wane and another cham
pion will be coming, for his vociferous
welcome in turn. Championships are
fleeing roles and their holders are
entitled to all the noise and honors
that accrue to them, while they last.

The Surplus and the Republicans


The increase in the collections of
income and miscellaneous taxes above
the expectations of the Treasury De.
partment, promising a greater Treas.
ury surplus at the end of the year
than had been estimated. is signal
for attack upon the Republican ad-
ministration by the Democratic lead
ers. They clamor for another and
immediate reduction in the Federal
tax rates. President Coolidge and
Secretary Mellon, on the other hand,
decline to be shaken from their pc.
sition that it would be unwise during
the coming short session of Congress
to amend the tax laws. They hold
that the time will have been too short
results which may be expected from
the new tax law, put through at the
last session. They hold, too, that 1t
would be unWise to cut the taxes to
the bone, since slight change in the
business conditions of the country
might then bring about a reduction
in tax receipts and q deficit in the
Treasury, to be followed by an in
crease in taxes. This seems to be
sound finance and common sense.
Further. the Republican administra-
ton is bent upon paying off as much
of the public debt during this next
year g. possible. 4 holds thah thu

! time to pay debts is when the Treas
ury is in good shape and money ia
plentiful.
The Democrats who are clamoring
for further tax reduction irnmedi.
ately are gambling with the future.
1t is not likely that the American
people will be anxious to gamble with
them, despite the alluring suggestion
of immediate further reduction of
Federal taxes. The Democratic lead
ers say that the Republicans are post.
poning the reduction of taxes until
the Winter Of 1929, so as to reap
advantage from it in the presidential
campaign and election in 1928.
But the Democrats themselves are
playing politics with this matter OF
tax reduction in the midst Of the
present congressional campaign. They
are telling the people that II they
will elect a Democratic Senate and
a Democratic House six weeks hence
it will mean further reduction of
the taxes without. delay. OF course
the new Congress will not convene
in regular session until December
1927, and the Democrats, therefore
even if in control Of one or both
houses Of Congress, could"not serious
ly attempt tax reduction until that
time. The one chance that they
would have. to bring about a special
session Of the new Congress after
March 4 next, at which tax reduction
could be considered, would be to fill
buster during the coming short ses.
sion Of the old Congress, preventing
passage OF the necessary appropria.
ton bills for the Government. But
the Democrats would take a long
chance if they staged such filibuster
The people generally do not look with
favor on such tactics.
The wisdom of the administration
or Mellon plan Of tax reduction is
clearly indicated In the swelling tax
receipts. Yet who SO violent in at.
tack upon the Mellon tax plan as
some of the Democratic leaders? The
Democrats today are deriding claims
made by the Republicans that the
country is prosperous under Repub.
lican rule. Yet whoever heard of tax
receipts increasing after a reduction
in tax rates in a country whose pros
perity was on the down grade? Out
OF their own mouths are the Demo
Gratis COMPOUNDED. When it comes to
the business management of the coun-
try the people have usually put their
falth In the G. 0. P. Nor are there in
dications. at this stage, that they will
turn to the Democrats.

Important Traffic Regulations.

Two important traffic regulations
have been adopted by the Commission
ers on recommendation of Director
Eldridge. One effectually removes the
age-old excuse of motorists driving
without permits that they were "just
learning" by requiring a thirty.day
learners permit, and the other con-
trolls pedestrian traffic at points where
the automatic lights are in operation.
The new learners permit rule is the
first of it's kind in Washington, al
though other cities have used it sue.
cessfully for years. 1t provides mere
~ that the motorist who wishes an
operators permit must first apply for
a learners card. which entities him to
drive through the streets accompanied
by an instructor.
Serious accidents have been caused
by persons who are too lazy, too care
less or too incompetent to take out
permits. When asked by the arrest
ing officer for their operators cards
the almost invariable excuse is that
they were just learning to drive. The
new regulation eliminates this class
of offender and requires that every
one behind the wheel of an automobile
in the District must be possessed of
some kind of a permit.
The new pedestrian. regulation is
the second of its kind in Washington,
although it has been slightly modified
from the first experiment. 1t requires
all pedestrians to obey the automatic
lights and provides penalties for vio-
lations the same as are inflicted on
motorists.
A courtesy period will be allowed
and officers will be stationed at inter.
sections to distribute warning" slips
to those who disobey. When the end
of this period is announced by the
traffic Office arrests will be made and
pedestrians will face penalties in
court.
Both of these regulations will work
to the benefit of the National Capital.
Fake learners" will no longer menace
law-abiding traffic, while pedestrians
will not only make 1t easier and safer
for themselves by obeying the lights
but will promote the smooth running
of traffic on automatically controlled
streets.
The loose threads of the traffic sit
uation in Washington are being grad
ally gathered in by the traffic office,
~ police and the Commissioners
.tterments are being constantly eff.
fected and there appears to be no rea-
son tor anything but optimism in re-
gard to the future.

EMPLOYMENT and Politics.

The prospects for full Fall en-
ployment are bright" in the indus.
tries of the United States. This
pleasing prophecy comes from the
Department of Labor. which main.
tains careful survey of employment
throughout the country. This survey
reveals the fact that not only was
the volume of employment in July
maintained in August but gains
were made last month in many of
the ma jor industries.
Take for example the automobile
industry. Forces employed in a num-
Der of factories have been augmented
and indications are that they will be
still further increased. Employment
in the coal mining industry. both
bituminous and anthracite. has been
on the increase. While there has
been a surplus of labor in recent
months in the bituminous fields, this
surplus is now SO much diminished
that a scarcity of such labor is re,
Virginia.
Two industries which have not
shown well in the matter of employ
nent in recent months. the boot and
shoe and textile industries, are perk.
ing up a. bit, though admittedly there
is still room for improvement. Incl
dentally il is this lack of employment
in these industries that is giving the
Republicans cause for worry in the
elections in Massachusetts. Indica.
tons that some of the factories and
mills of New England are on the
upgrade doubtless will be welcomed.
During the World War. when mil.
lions upon millions of shoes We're
needed for the Army. the shoe in.
dustry took a great jump in this
country Hundreds of new concerns
ssltered the industry. The plant of
some of the older shoe manufacture
ing firms today ie tseat me industry is
still overcrowded. So far as the tex
Gle Industry is Concerned. particular
~ In New England, competition from
tbs mills Of the South. which have
been largely developed in recent
years, and competition from abroad
where wages are low and production
costs at a minimum, compared to
those in the United States, have
caused the shutdown of some mills
and part-time operation of others.
Textile mill Operators hayerdeclayed

that the tariff duties on cotton ana
wooden goods are too low. But with
the farmers of the West clanoring
that they do not get the full benefit Of
the tariff, there has been an indis-
position on the part Of Republican
leaders to force an amendment to the
tariff law. Perhaps the demand for
a change in the duties by the textile
mill owners and operatives will grow
too strong during the next Congress.
Employment on the railroads has
shown an increase. due in part to the
movement of grain to the markets.
Metal mining is active and there is
a shortage Of labor in that industry,
and the lumber industry is again on
the increase.
Construction, including both build
ings and road making, is proceeding
in great volume throughout the coun-
try. The great majority Of the build
ing trades men are fully employed in
all parts of the United States. This
work gives employment also to a
large number Of semi.skilled and I'M
skilled workers. The report Of the
Department of Labor shows that this
character Of work and employment
is especially brisk in the District Of
Columbia, where the building pro-
gram Is extensive.
The entire country, the depart
ment's survey indicates, is partaking
of the benefits Of business activity
and the consequent large employ
ment Of labor-an i'll time for the
Democrats to rely for their campaign
issues on the protective tariff and at
lacks on the administrations eco
nomic policies. When workmen walk
the streets. looking for jobs. the
political applicant is frequently upset,
but not often when labor is well
employed.
