Quick Action.

William II. Harland, the new di-
rector of traffic, has acted promptly
and decisively in clearing up the con-
fusing conditions on Rhode Island
avenue. Within a week after taking
office Mr.. Harland has swept aside
backstepping and evasiveness and pro-
crastination in dealing with one of
Washington's most dangerous situa-
tions and has proceeded straight to
the point of solution. Rhode Island
avenue has been one of the city's
most peculiar .arterial highways, mas.
much as automobile traffic had right
Of way at every place except where
street cars intersected it. Despite the
fact that Congress in passing the traf.
fic code specifically included street
cars in it's construction Of the term
vehicle" and all traffic regulations
for the city must be based on this
law the traction companies have stub
bornly resisted any attempt of the
director to bring about harmony in
general street traffic.
Although this condition has been
making laughing stock of Washing
toms arterial system, and resulted in
breeding places for accidents, appar-
emily no attempt has been made by
the Commissioners, the Public Ctili-
ties Commission or the traffic Office to
compel the traction companies to obey
this most important law. Street cars
have not stopped at intersections and
the companies in general have shown
a disinclination to cooperate. Mr.. Har-
land, however, did not hesitate in the
face of these discouraging condi-
tions. He went to the traction COM
pany officials and demanded compl-
ance in the name Of safety. Without
consulting anybody he installed stop
signs at the disputed intersections.
The companies, realizing that they
must act voluntarily or be compelled
to act after court test Of clear and
definite law, yielded, and Rhode Is.
land avenue is now an arterial high
way in the full sense Of the word, ex-
cept at it's intersection with Seventh
street, where traffic on the latter is
given the right of way because Of its
greater volume.
When The Star first undertook an
investigation of the numerous acci.
dents on this thoroughfare an aston
ishing condition was unearthed. Con-
gress had definitely and specifically
put street cars under the control of
the director Of traffic, yet the District
regulations, based on this code, ex.
empted street cars from traffic regu-
Iations. This ridiculous situation has
not been remedied. Mr.. Harland has
merely, by vigorous action, tenn
porarily relieved conditions. 1t is dis
tinctly up to the Commissioners, the
Public Utilities Commission and the
traffic Office to get together so that all
users Of the public highways may be
harmonized into a frictionless unit.
Neither trucks nor busses nor street
cars nor bicycles should have any
particular privileges over other kinds
of traffic, and it is high time that
steps be taken to bring about a re.
form. Cooperation is all that is want
ed from the street car companies, but
it was the refusal to cooperate that
necessitated the passing of the law,
and it appears logical. therefore, that
the official agencies of the District
should see that this law is carried out
in the fullest meaning and the broad
est scope.

figures submitted annually by the
Board of Education seem large. II
must be borne in mind that the needu
are great, that many OF the sehooln
are still ~overcrowded, that In some
sections OF the District schools are
too widely spaced, that portable and
makeshift quarters are still In use.
and, moreover, that the school pop,
ulation is increasing steadily.
This is a moderate budget consider.
ing the requirements OF the schools.
and in view of the fact that II is n

Less Petting Urged
For Criminal Cases
c Spokane spokesman.Review.

From tho Spokane Spokesman.R Review.
In furtherance of the movement to
drive crooks out Of Chicago, the chief
Of detectives there has ruled that
hereafter no prisoners in Detective
Bureau cells will be permitted to
smoke. "a couple of cigarettes
bolster up crooks nerve and help
him to evade police questions" said
the chief detective. "These cells are
not hotel rooms, and prisoners are
not entitled to all the comforts of
home"
That method could be- applied with
reason and benefit to all convicted
prisoners in penitentiaries and jails.
A. Jail sentence then would have
greater terror for tobacco addicts and
criminals. Tea, coffee and other in
dulgences also should be withheld
from them.

rode
Afar from any fellow mans abode.
Facing the shadowy ways that were
unknown;
Following duty's path-and all alone.
while other men chung to the earth
like me,
Or, maybe plunged into the treacher-
GUS sea,
Twas yours, Lad Lindbergh, braver
and more wise,
To turn the gaze Of nations to the
skies.
Remote from any thought Of loss or
gain,
You set your face against the sleet
and rain:
Forgetful of the dreams Of pride and
pelf,
Trusting unto your Maker and your
self.
"And so I send the greeting and the
love
OF one who toiled on earth; while you

The lesson plain courageously re-
newed--
The greatest tasks mean lofty soli-
tude.'
