A Reasonable Regulation.

If court records can be taken as a
criterion, there are certain clauses in
the trafic regulations Of the District
of Columbia which command little or
no attention. One Of these is that per-
tanning to the notification of the
traffic director in case of change of
address. The rule is perfectly clear and
reads as follows: I'm the event OF
change Of address of holder of Dis
trict operators permit such person
shall furnish the director of traflc
with the new address within a reason
able time" Yet, in spite Of this regu-
lation, an average Of twelve persons
day appear before the court charged
with wrong addresses on their opera
tor permits.
The majority of these violators plead
ed ignorance of the rule, although in
some cases the infraction may have
been deliberate in order to prevent
check-ups of driving records by the
Traffic Bureau. Whatever the reason
for failure to obey the regulations,
whether from ignorance or a desire to
deceive the authorities, Washingtonians
should reform. 1t is good law, clear
and reasonable, and is designed to safe
guard those who drive automobiles by
permitting a quick check-up by the
Traffic Bureau for reckless drivers who
endanger life and limb. There should
be no further appearances before the
courts for violation Of this regulation.

Good News for Canaries,

Slowly but surely war, once so color
full and sentimental, is becoming more
mechanical. The human element can
scarcely be eliminated. but the media
through which mankind INDUCES its
belligerent propensities change from
flesh and blood to iron and steel, from
muscle to gasoline and electricity.
The next step will undoubtedly be the
elimination of those little canaries
which, during the World War through
their susceptibility to various gases,
gave warning to sappers and miners
and tenants of trenches and dugouts
of the presence of dangers near at hand
Not only was their timely advice efiica-
cious, but their companionship was
cheering. Advices from Pittsburgh state
that the sacrifice of the lives of these
little birds to save coal and other
miners from deadly peril is no longer
necessary: that the Bureau Of Mines

has perfected tube which, through a
color change OF its content, unerringly
indicates the presence Of gas. That
science will supplant the feathered
songsters in future conflicts is almost
certain.
Doubtless It is better So The soldier
now seldom uses horses or mules, which
once played so important and so tragic
part in his operations. The late war
brought into play the services of dogs,
Of mice and Of canaries. In that Won
drous and comprehensive Scottish war
memorial not long ago dedicated on
Castle Rock. Edinburgh, every Scottish
regiment and every branch of service in
which Scots played part is remem-
bered in sculpture or in stained glass.
One appealing panel shows not only the
eouines, the elephants and camels, but
the little white mice and the tiny yell
low birds which, petted at first, died
that their masters might survive. It Is
probable that the mice will be elm
mated along with the canaries. Dogs
will in all likelihood prove somewhat
useful for a long time to come. That
canaries, bred to give pleasure to the
ear and the eye and to receive affection
will no longer have to sacrifice their
merry lives is another feather in the
hat of that all-powerful modern wizard

Astronomers Would
Change Time System
BY f. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

A committee of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society. the leading organiza-
ton of astronomers in England, has
been appointed to inquire from railway
men and from the public whether or not
it is desirable to print railway time
tables hereafter in the 24-hour system
common on the Continent Of Europe in
stead of in the 12-hour system now
conventional in England and in the
United States. Up to date no one seems
enthusiastic over the reform, much as
it would simplify train calculations and
avoid accidents like missed trains. II
ultra-conservative England rejects the
idea, perhaps a home might be found
for it in the United States. The essen
tial of the plan is to begin the day at
midnight and count the hours right
through to the following midnight so
that l pm. becomes Is o'clock. 5 pm.
becomes II o'clock, IL at night Is %
o'clock. and so on.
Systems resembling this have been
used by scientific men for years, and
recently all the sciences agreed upon
the same midnight to midnight system.
The manifest advantages in avoiding
confusion. in making 1t unnecessary to
print am and pm. and in other SIM
Publications. of timekeeping far out
weigh, advocates of the system urge,
the temporary inconvenience of chang
ing the faces of clocks. The practi-
cability of the system Is proved. 1t Is
asserted, by its actual use by railways
in Continental Europe. At present no
step is contemplated except the change
for railway time, leaving ordinary clocks
unaltered. Even the railway change
will not be urged by the astronomers
unless the public favors it. $3.50.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEEELL.

| There is nothing like getting mad
I to make one forget minor ills.
The curative powers OF anger. In not

garded, yet it is safe to say that few
| things do more to keep the human
animal in equilibrium.
When everything goes too smoothly
in the daily work or life, there is
danger that boredom will stick up its
ugly head and whisper undesired things
to the bored one.
Men in particular need to get angry
now and then in order to save them
from the restlessness which seems to
be part of the eternal male.
Perhaps the motions OF feminine
souls are more gentle, or something or
other. At any rate, they ordinarily
do not seem to demand concentrated
doses of anger In order to be at their
best.
There Is something in the mascu-
line nature, however. which resents a
path too Strewn with roses. a bed
too soft, a Job too much Of sinecure,
months which pass too easily.
No doubt it is the conflict of the
centuries calling to us, no matter how

make us happy.

that these are not elementals of human
