A Needed Reform.

One of the first acts of the new
traffic director should be the clearing
up of the confusion between street
cars and other Vehicular traffic. In
the original traffic code street cars
were exempt from regulations In the
amended code. however, Congress
rectified its mistake and classed street
cars as vehicles within the meaning
OF traffic control SO far nothing has
been done by the traffic office to bring
about conformance on the part Of
these vehicles with the general traffic
rules
Rhode Island avenue is a case in
point of the dangerous conditions re-
sulting from the attitude adopted by
the traction companies and the Public
Utilities Commission. This wide street
is an arterial highway without right
of way at six important intersections.
AT these crossings, due to lack of
stop signs and lack of obedience TO
the regulations by the street cars, in
tersacting traffic is given equal rights
to that Of arterial traffic. This is a
ridiculous and dangerous condition.
Motorists the city over have been
given to understand that if they once
get on a boulevard or an arterial high
way they have a special right of way
over traffic approaching on either the
right or the left, and that this traf-
fic must come to a complete stop be-
fore entering such a highway. 1t has
been a most difficult task to impress
upon crossing traffic the necessity for
strict obedience. and even now there
are many cases of infraction. But
conditions on Rhode Island avenue
make q laughing stock of the entire
arterial system in Washington. and If
they are not remedied the whole plan
might as well be thrown overheard.
Washington can no longer tolerate
this hit or miss" scheme for its high
speed streets. Congress has passed a
law that street cars are to be con-
sidered as vehicles, and that they are
to abide by the regulations as laid
down for the control Of all street traf-
flc. Stop signs should be Immediately
installed at the six track intersections
on Rhole Island avenue, and at any
other point in the city where traction
lines cross a similar artery. Every
motorman who fails to stop his car in
accordance with the rules should be
arrested and given the same treatment
as the motorist. 1t is time to end this
foolishness, and without fear or favor
the new director should take hold of
the job and bring about this most de-
sirable and necessary reform.

A Madman's Awful Deed.

A tragedy. the like of which has
never before been known in even this
land of widely varied misfortunes and
crimes, has desolated the little town
Of Bath, Mich, and stunned the
country. A man who, it is believed
had been unbalanced by his troubles
plotted a horrible revenge upon the
town for what he conceived to be an
injustice in the matter of taxation.
He was treasurer Of the school board
Of the district, and had been regarded
as a sound citizen. Concluding that
the tax levy was too high, and dis
tressed by financial difficulties, he
brooded over the matter until he
reached the point of mania. Nobody
will ever know the processes Of
thought by which he reached his de
termination to destroy the school
house. 1t is idle to speculate upon
such a matter, for the vagaries of the
insane are beyond understanding.
1t is evident that the man worked
in secret for some time in order to lay
the explosives and the electric wires
in the basement of the school. He had
some skill in such matters, and he
employed it to the end of making the
building a veritable internal machine
Yet by good fortune part of the dyna
mite that he had planted failed to ex
plode, and thus some lives were spared

Trachoma Cause Discovered.

Isolation of the germ that causes
trachoma, a disease of the eye that
has heretofore baffled bacteriologists,
is announced by DR.. Hideyo Noguch1
of the Rockefeller Institute for Med
ical Research. He has been engaged
upon the research for seven years,
carefully proceeding in his laboratory
experiments and tests, checking re-
suits, working back and forth with
cultures. until he has determined that
a certain specific micro organism is
the cause.
Thus does another dread aff1iction
of humanity come within the scope of
cure and prevention. The cure itself
has not yet been determined, but as
Secretary Work, himself a physician
of high skill, declared upon the conclu-
sion of DIR. Noguchis brief report last
night before the American Medical
Association, the discovery of the cause
is the first move toward the correc-
tion.
Trachoma has given the physicians
of the world a heart-rending battle.
Highly infectious, spreading rapidly,
especially among the young, it has de.
stroyed vision, lessened human eff
cheney, brought incalculable distress.
Il aflicts the people of all lands, espe-
cially in those places where sanitary
laws are little understood. In the
medical examinations conducted at the
immigration ports trachoma is partic'
ularly sought and upon discovery it is
rated rs cause for exclusion. Very
many would-be immigrants have been
turned away on this ground.
Now for the curative remedy and
treatment. That it will be found is
not to be doubted. The longest steT
toward relief from this dread affiictior
has been taken in DR.. Noguchi's great
discovery. Equally devoted study viii
doubtless be given to the search fol
the cure and perhaps very soon vii
come the announcement that ira
choma has been actually conquered.

1t is always pleasant when one
finds custom following in his steps
instead of the other way around, as
is generally the case.
The writer Of this column believes
in minding his own business and
allowing other persons to mind theirs,
but has discovered that many persons
operate on Just the opposite theory.
Time has brought to pass and made
fashionable four actions which he has
| INDUCED in for years. During those
years he was called Eccentric" at
| the mildest.
! Now. these practices, as any one
can see from reading the papers and
| magazines. are the fashion of the
| hour. They are:
/. Wearing a vest during the Sum
mer.
| 2. Going without a hat.
| g. Having curtains up all over the
| house during Summer.
| a. Indulging in bright colored fur
niture and hangings.
| An innocent-enough list, surely-but
only the pioneer knows what sneers,
covert and otherwise, one had to
face.
In other words, doing as one pleased
even in the most innocent matters,
was frowned upon. Be one with the
herd, or suffer our scorn, That was
and unfortunately is-the attitude Of
most persons.
Dare to have your own ideas about
things-even if they are good ideas
and we will laugh at you!
x x x *
Take the matter of wearing a vest
in Summer.
All this business about being $50
hot" is partly in the mind. And
granting that it is hot. such a small
piece Of material as a vest cannot
make one much the hotter.
The traditional costume for a gen
tleman is coat. trousers and vest. Tha
vest is an essential part of the ap-
paral. After one has worn it for
eight months in the year. there is no
particular reason for discarding it the
other four.
Lightweight suits might just as
we'll have had vests for years, but
| this year is the first to our knowledge
| in which they have commonly been of
fered in the general marts.
We have been long suffering in this
| matter. "WheW, you look hot"' some
office mate has demonstrated, as we
breezed In wearing a nice warm vest.
| A popularity of ours is to wear Win
| ter suits all Summer long.
| AS a matter of fact, we found the
vest did not add anything to the heat;
| how could one have been any hotter?
| SO we insisted on the divine rj~ht of
| wearing a vest, if we chose, and VIC
did choose; and this Summer we are
vindicated for all the advertisements
are featuring three piece suits.
* * X *
! AS for going without a hat, we have
! INDUCED in that for years, so many
| that we hate to acknowledge them.
The hat, in Spring and Summer,
seems to be superfiuous. But decade
| ago a man who dared to go without it
| in Washington, even in Summer, was
| look d upon as entirely cuckoo.
To go without hat was to sub
| ject ones self to the ribald laughter
of the merry wights along f street.
| They were not so merry then as they
are now, but the man without hat
was something to be laughed at.

Claims Flood Relief
In Forests and Dams

To the Editor of The Star:
In regard to the Mississippi catas'
trophe, one important fact should not
be lost sight of--when the clouds lit
orally burst and the rain pours the
water must have somewhere to stay,
or somewhere to goi The immense
watershed drained by the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, if it were in for
ests. that, of course, would retard the
waters some; but forests could not
prevent a tremendous overflow in a
continuous downpour over large
area like that which has recently
happened.
Conditions on the Mississippi and
it's tributaries, as at present, are mat
ters for serious consideration by our
Government and should be remedied
as nearly as is practicable, which can
be done in part, at least. How? Re
forest the watershed in so far as that
is practicable. That would help a little.
Build large storage dams on the head
waters of the streams, hold back
some of the waters. turn them loose
gradually, use them for power and irri-
more. Widen and deepen the main
channels Of the Mississippi and its
tributaries. not only for carrying more
water. but for improving navigation;
use the dirt taken out Of the main
channels for building dikes; in these
dikes provide spillWays for turning
water out of the main channels into
auxiliary channels when floods have
reached the stage of overflow; use
the dirt taken out of the auxiliary
channels in making mounds safely
above any probable high water on
which to build houses and locate other
improvements; plant black walnut and
other trees which would grow into
value along the dikes and around the
mounds-that would help q whole
lot; but floods similar to those which
have happened may happen again,
and when they do the water must
have somewhere to stay or somewhere
to go.
1t is remarkable the risk that peo-
pie, not only individuals but com
panies and corporations directed by
high-class civil engineers, will take in
making expensive developments on
creeks and rivers below the high
water mark. Foolish ventures should
be prOhiblted, II the Government is
to give aid and protection. In many
instances it would be less expensive
to relocate houses, even small towns
and other improvements of consider
able magnitude, above the high-water
mark, than it would to protect these
developments, when they are below
the high-water mark, from the raw
ages of great rivers when they are
on q rampage.

out him.
Although 1t is unfortunate that this
latest dissension has developed, 1t is
| not wholly surprising in view Of the
circumstances. The Atlantic flight is
ticklish business. 1t means the risk
ing of life. In spite of this fact there
seems to be a universal desire among
aviators to make the trip. But--and
this is where the question OF tempera-
ment enters into the proposition
every man has his own ideas on the
way he is going to do things when he
has his own salvation TO consider. 1t
is small wonder, therefore. that nerves
are stretched taut and dissension
crops up when plans for such haz-
ardous undertaking are considered.
All that the public knows about this
latest affair is that Bertaud believed
that the flyers should receive all the
remuneration If they were successful;
that their wives should be protected
in case of disaster. and that the avia.
tors should be free to do as they
pleased upon the completion of the
flight and not be compelled to remain
in the employ of Levine. And there
was also the question of whether or
not radio set should be taken along.
While all of these requests would
seem to be reasonable, especially com.
ing from a man who was risking his
life, apparently something else is
wrong of which the public knows
nothing, because it is inconceivable
that such minor differences would not
be speedily straightened out between
a hacker and his pilot.
Whatever the result of the contro-
versy. and incidentally it might he
mentioned at this point that the pub.
lie cares little which way it is set.
tied, preparations are going rapidly
ahead for the other two contenders
bergh, affectionately called "the f1yin'
fool is in readiness to take off on his
lone journey the minute the weather
clears, and Comdr. Richard Byrd, who
amazed the world by flying over the
North Pole, is likewise ready to start.
An interested public prefers deeds to
beginning of a history-making flight.

The Paris Flight SquabbIe.

Strongly reminiscent Of the Fonck
Berry controversy last Fall, over the
Sikorsky transatlantic flight, is the
present squabble between Lloyd Ber-
taud and Charles Levine, backer Of
the Wright Bellanca New York Paris
hop. Capt Berry, it will be recalled,
wanted to 90 along with Fonck, and
much publicity was given to the dis
cussion. Bertaud. appointed co-pilot
for the pending trip, has had definite
split with Levine over certain phases
Of the flight, and, to prevent his GUST
dng. has secured a temporary injunc.
