Reduction Of penalties for
motorists found guilty of
driving while intoxicated and,
convicted ) third time tor
speeding and reckless driving
Il advocated by Traffic Direc-
tor William H Harland IA his
annual report filed today with
the District Commissioners.
IA stiff fine or q jail sentence for
first offenders should be left to the
discretion Of the court, Harlands
says. 1T is difficult TO set convicsl
fions under the present law when.
the defendant insists on jury
trial. Harland said
The ends Of justice, the report
says, would be served il heavy
fines were imposed for the first
offenses and permits cancelled as
now provided BY law, and the pres
ent maximum penalty Apply only
To repeaters
HarIand recommends that the
third offense for speeding be limited
to Offenses committed within Y
nnontI1ss The present law places no
limitation as to time
Both judges ana jurfes, Harlalad
said, agree that the present penalty
Il too great for third offenders.
Fatalities Lower
The Harland report shows traffic
fatalities III Washington for the past
fiscal year TO be 15.4 per cent per
100000. which Is lower than any
other city having population equal
to or greater than Washington.
All of the drivers involved ia traf-
fic fatalities last year were males.
Sixty-four persons killed by auto
mobiles were pedestrians.
During the year A, ,682 persons an

something of value in the translation
Of money into pleasure.
This last can't be taught by anything
but experience. II avails nothing to
point out to child that If he saves
this week he'll have a sum of greater
buying power next week. He'll learn
that by himself
Some parents have found 1t eypedient
TO give children money Only as pay
ment for tasks performed. This has
its advantages and its bad points. 1t
is a mistake to pay child for every
thing he does. He never learns then
that there are duties and responsible
ties for which there are no material
rewards, but instead satisfaction to
himself and to his family or society. He
should not be paid for washing his face
or taking bath. for eating his oatmeal
or for picking up his clothes. These
are his duties as a member Of the
family and as an individual intent on
keeping himself At.
For work which occurs regularly a
regular sum may be paid. For work
only occasionally, 1t is better to pay by
the lob" Be fair with the child II
he does the work well and saves hav-
ing it done by an Older person pay
him accordingly so that he will have
pride in his accomplishment
Don't pay child for good behavior
or penalize him for bad. These actions,
one or the other, have no money value.
If you would teach him things Of last
ing value put a material consideration
only upon those things which possess
1t. and certainly good behavior has no
value In dollars and cents, but only as
social necessity. Bad behavior is a
social deficit II child is good only
| because he earns money thereby. his
behavior has no firm foundation.
No one can work out the actual sums
TO be paid by any family to children
This. like family budget. Is a purely
individual affair. But any parent can
avoid some of the commoner pitfalls.
which trip the unthinking parent. by
keeping the lesson he intends to teach
his child firmly In mind.

UNIQUE Shade Pulls.

window shade cords match the nttings

You can buy ships. for instance

TO the shades. The ships are In metal
and are tinted cream. bronze, green
and one of these will ut into any room.
Then there are parrots. little cellu-
loid parrots In all the glory OF tropical
colors. swinging In ceiluloid rings and
attached by long cords To the curtains
Or elephants. In some rooms ele-
phants would be the best choice. The
parrots might do very we'll for the
