Anent Safety Campaign.
It is to be hoped that the cam
paign to reduce fatalities and ac-
cidentS on the streets of the Ma
tional Capital will be successful
If the additional motor cycle
policemen can make motorists
more careful at intersections, the
only remaining problem will be
the pedestrians themselves. 1t
would only seem fair to have ad-
ditional foot men to apprehend
pedestrians who walk against
lights and dart out into the
thoroughfares from behind park
ed cars.
Complaint has been made con-
corning the practice of motorists
coming into the city from Virginia
in the mornings stopping to buy
papers at the Virginia end of the
Key Bridge. The roadway is mar
row and much congestion has
been caused, resulting in few
minor accidents. Sergt. Milton D.
Smith has been detailed to watch
the conditions.
Complaint also has been made
against telegraph messenger boys.
These boys on their wheels dart
in and out of traffic, disregarding
all regulations. This practice is
dangerous and should be ended by
the police.

parking situation was commented
upon in this column, as well as

was stated that the majority of

RACES, and that the time was be-
lieved to be coming when Wash
ington would ban such a use.

American Automobile Association
