Two things, 1t was believed. were nee
essary to the success of the Pan-Ameri-
can Congress of Highways. One was
serious program encompassing the road
problems of all Pan-American countries.
while another was preliminary discus
sion and personal contact among the
leaders of highway affairs OF the sew
eral nations.
To achieve the latter, the opinion was
unanimous that a selected group of en-
gineers from the Latin American coun-
tries should be invited to visit the
United States, to survey for themselves
the mistakes and accomplishments of
this Nation, that for three decades and
more had been expanding tremendous
sums on highway construction projects.
Experts Enlisted.
This task was intrusted to the High
way Education Board of the United
States. which enlisted the financial CO.
operation of leading business organiza :
tons of this country, and sought the al
vice and counsel of high officials of tn
national Government and of the ind.
vidual States. along with that OF ou
standing educational and scientifi
groups and experts in the transporta
ton and allied fields.
The commission consisted of 81 prom
inent businessmen and engineers fron
the Latin American nations. Wit.

roads in the United States, the High

spheres of professional activities.
Much time was spent in viewing tn
best practices in highway constructio
and maintenance that the United Stat
afforded. while ample opportunity al
was given for a study of other indu
tries and of agriculture. and of the =
latiOns of highway transport to t.
social and economic life of the ma
cities visited, and to the Nation as
whole.

Approximately 5000 miles Of mot
highways were traversed by the tour
lists. who inspected conditions in tn
Midwest. the Lake region, New Englar
and North Carolina. They appeared
be particularly interested in their sur

Carolina, and were generally agree
that the marked economic and indus

- ARELESSNESS Of pedes-
4 trianS continues to be the
Y chief cause of traffic fatal

~ ALEbEoSNESO OF peQeS-
TRANS continues to be the
chief cause of traffic fatal
tiles in the National Capt.
tai. Only about one fatality in
ten is caused by the fault of the
motoriSt.
These are facts, and the impor-
tance of instructing those who
daily walk the thoroughfares Of
the city to be more careful cannot
be too greatly stressed. All mo-
florists at one time or another are
, pedestrians. if only for a brief
time. Therefore, it is up to every
one to stop jay-walking and
darting out into the street from
behind parked cars. Running
around in back of a street car is
the common cause of many acct
cents. Waiting until street car
moves off before crossing the
tracks is not much of delay If it
prevents trip to the hospital.
Pedestrian Control Needed.
The adoption of pedestrian con-
troll will ultimately come, and its
postponement should not be pre-
vented any longer. Until that
time comes, it is the general opin-
ion, that accidents will not be
materially reduced.
For long time members of the
fair sex have not figured in any
traffic fatalities in Washington.
Unfortunately this record has
been broken, for during the past
month three women were drivers
Of machines that caused deaths.
Only one was In any way to blame.
In this latter case her car ran up
on the sidewalk and struck an
other woman with fatal result.
Faulty mechanism of the auto
mobile may have been responsible
In this case.
The important work of elimi-
mating reckless drivers from the
streets of the CITY conducted by
the office of the director of traffic
continues. Already this month
81 permits have been revoked or
suspended.
More Lights Soon.
Every day marks the nearer
approach of the installation of
additional traffic signal lights.
Gables have been laid and fixtures
prepared for the first ones. which
will be at the triple intersection
at Connecticut avenue, Florida
avenue and S street. Beacons
have been installed at the various
viaducts, although they have no:
been put into operation. The
flashing of these beacons will pre-
vent reoccurrence of several
tragedies of the past when ma
chimes crashed into the under
passes, killing or injuring occu-
pants of the car.
While the subject of proper
police discipline is agitating the
city. the attention of some of the
traffic officers should be called to
mind that courtesy is not a lost
art. Some time ago Maj. HeSse is
sued orders that members of the
force should be courteous when
handling traffic. His admonitions
apparently have fallen on some
deaf ears.
A few days ago a woman driver

Road Agents War
Against Windshield
Posters as Menace

State highway agencies are de-
claring war on car owners who clut-
ter up their windshields with nom
transparent stickers and posters.
The practice is prohibited by law in
10 States and the District of Co
lumbia. according to the American
Automobile Association.
The American Automobile Associ-
alton points out that cars having
windshields covered with posters,
thereby preventing the driver from
having clear vision ahead, are a
great menace to safety on the high
ways. The Is States prohibiting
this practice are: Arizona, Connec-
ticut, Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York. North Carolina. North
Dakota, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

describe a Christmas dinner at the
Maxwell House between the selec-
tons by Nat Shill1ret's. orchestra.

things for WRC and provides
rather varied program. The old
concert staple. Beethoven's Eide

chief features. Excerpts from
Thomas .Mignon" and List Hun.
garian rl1apsodie have important
places on the program.

Though local electric storms

was too excited to be afraid; G..
Francis Jenkins promise to all
radio fans that they would take pic

things that made listening to loud

ance last evening.
Amelia Earharts came to the mi
crophone while it was under sub

and thoroughly thrilled her audi

the fact that because she is the

formative talk indicated that the
matter of radio vision Is very
simple thing, and that he would tell
anyone who will listen to him two
weeks hence EXACTLY how TO make
3 receiving set, at a minimum cost
OF SIS or something like that.
The Goodrich detection from
radio is something listeners heard
with more regret than usual-be-
cause there has been no program on
the air that has brought finer
music or higher standard of enter,
:tainment than the rubber manu-
facture subsidy. For almost five
years-since December p, 1S2S-the
Goodrich programs have been radio
staples. They have done much to
keep up the standards of radio
entertainment We can i'll afford TO
lose the service of such concerns
and we sincerely hope the company
win change its plans and return to
regular microphone performance.
The Dramadio performance from
WRIT in the early evening pre-
scented a one-act comedy we've
heard before-but which always
registers well as it did last evening.
Elsewhere and otherwise the even
ing was as usual with average
entertainment.
