Of way because the motorist was
left of the chauffeur of the big
vehicle With siren sounding and
driven by an expert, the ambulance
gave plenty of warning that an
emergency call was being answered,
but the siren was evidently not loud
enough and the right of way not well
enough defined or the driver not ex-
pert enough to avoid a collision with
one Indifferent motorist.
There Is absolutely no excuse for
failure to give way to fire engines
and ambulances. 1t is unfortunate,
indeed. that the motorist who caused
the accident and the injuries to the
doctor and chauffeur was himself
badly injured. That is too great
penalty to pay. All that should hap
pen to him is the permanent for
feiture of his permit to drive.
The Star has suggested time and
again that an active campaign be
undertaken by the Police Department
to enforce the fire engine and ambu-
lance right-of-way rule. Until this
is done and the stupid and defiant
are taught much needed lesson,
they will continue to place in jeop-
ardy not only their own lives but those

The End of the War.

For several days war has been rag

United States. A powerful enemy
feet has been hammering land de-.
lenses. with the defensive feet en-
gagged in holding the attacking forces
off shore. Seventy-five thousand hos
tile troops have been available for
landing. twenty thousand of them ac-
fually got ashore, effecting a mo-
mentary invasion, but, being trapped

these troops and 10000 others on

fensive fire left the enemy too weak

than the appropriation made for it.
Not q single life was-lost, not single

all the shots were blanks and all the

test of naval and military strategy
and II was we'll worth the expenditure.
Tomorrow the umpires will meet 70

Are you a "one-tie guy?"
This question, of course, is addressed
solely to the tie-wearing portion of
humanity. the same sex that insists
on wearing tight belts. tight garters,
tight-fitting hats, tight collars and
20-pound overcoats.
And it is the very same portion of
humanity, it may be added. which
has insisted on censuring women for
wearing corsets. which probably never
were one-half so constructing as a

Men. in their relation to neckties,
fall into two great classes:
l. Those who wear one tie Mt a
time.
2. Those who possess more than
one tie.
Like the one-man dog, the one.tie
man is faithful He is so true to
his chosen tie that it must fall to
pieces in his collar before he will get
another one,
Wives who essay the difficult task

not get another until the old one
develops worn places.
Even then the true one-tie man
will attempt to tie his cravat in an.
other place.
This Is a procedure that some men
are very handy at. and in which they
possess positive genius. The craftiest
specimens of the race begin when
the tie is new.
Instead of tying it so that the ends
are even, such a man will manage
the knot so that when a hole is worn
down a bit and tie the knot in an
other place.
This procedure, however, presup.
poses a thrifty sense which not many
men possess.
The usual daily action Of the real
one-tie guy is to tie at once place
until a decidedly worn spot results,
then to discard the bit of wearing
apparel.
Perhaps a few attempts may be
made to change the place Of stress,
but usually the results are not sat.

The one-tie man Is a creature Of
habit. He has tied his tie at the
same place for six months. say; no
other inch in the entire length Of the
cravat seems natural.
Hence, he will be discovered at last
discarding such a faithful tie and
hieing himself to a store where he
may purchase another.
1t is almost invariably the case
that such a gentleman has very con-
servative tastes. (Score one for the
one-tie manD
If you see a man with a neat tie
that attracts no particular attention,
either through the pattern or color
ing, you can be reasonably sure that
he has but one tie at a time.
Another popularity Of such a man
Is that he is generally the target for

quantities at certain seasons Of the
