Seine Department Council Attrib-
utes Many Accidents to
Present Law.

PARIS (P).-More and more pressure
is being exerted to abolish the law CIV
ing the right of way to a driver coming
from the right.
The general council of the Seine de-
partment, which is Paris and its
suburbs, adopted a strong resolution
urging a return to the old practice of
according the right of the road to
drivers on main highways.
So many accidents are attributed to
the present law, the general council
said, that it is imperative to change it.
Those who support the present prac-
tice say it is difficult for a driver to
know always the Importance of the road
on which he is driving, while If the one
from the right has precedence the rule
always works.
Opponents assert that most of the
traffic is on the high roads.

Exploring by Radio.

On this, the twentieth anniversary
Of the day that radio first assisted
in the rescue of ship at sea, no
more wonderful picture of the part that
it has played in tearing away the veil
of distance exists than that which is
presented daily in the dispatches from
the Byrd expedition at the Bay of
Whales. down near the bottom of the
world. Seventeen years ago Amundsen
and his brave company of explorers saw
the sights that Byrd and his crew are
seeing today. But seventeen years ago
Amundsen's party was as completely
cut off from the rest of the world as
If they had stepped off its mythical
edge and into the space of eternity.
To-day radio is keeping Byrd and his
men in such close touch with civiliza-
ton that everything they do, every
thing they see, is written in printers
ink and displayed to the gaze of mil
lions of newspaper readers within the
space of few hours.

titles. They smack of the old days OF
wind TANNERS, those good old days
before the advent of steam. Is sea-
manship gone with the sailing craft?
! Look to the feat of these nine men,
Harry Manning and his aides, in the
lifeboat for answer. Every one of these
nine men were ready to die for the sake
of the strangers who chung to the slop-
ing decks of the Florida. But they did
not die. Nor did any of the thirty
four of the Florida. Every man reached
the America in safety.
Only the text of Capt F'rieds nara
tive can tell the tell adequately. That
he was proud of his men in their
achievement is plain. He recommends
all of them for the Treasury Depart
ment gold medal Il feel that these
men are entitled to high decorations by
the United Sta u GovcsM -nent," he says.
1T was splendid s..eNe of work"
Everybody agrees. 1t was indeed
splendid piece of work, made possible
by Capt, Frieds skill as navigator in
locating the position of the Florida and
executed by the men whom he detailed
upon as dangerous task as was ever
given to sailors. And probably not a
man of the nine regards himself as
anything of hero. That is the best of
the sea traditions.
AS long as the winds blow and the
waters flow and men go down to the
sea in ships there will be gallant con-
duct and self-sacrifice for the sake of
others.

Paper Racks Called
Needless Temptation

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS president of the Langley Junior
High PIT. A.. have read with a
great deal Of interest both items pub
lished by your paper from Judge Sell
ers and the head of our PIT. A., Mrs.
Rafter, and want to VOICE my senti-
ment with both--relative to the public
menace to youth, as we'll as grown-ups,
which the newspaper honor racks" are
causing in our city.
I have observed at many street cor
ners where these racks are placed boys
lettering, waiting for a chance to be
alone to help themselves to the pennies.
This to me seems to be placing a need
less temptation before our boys and girls
as there are plenty of places in all sec
lions OF the city where we can secure
our papers and at the same time give
an honest Storekeeper q chance to make
few CSnts toward livelihood.
Trusting 1t will be your pleasure to
help put this question before the proper
city heads, that we may be able to
have taken from our streets a tempta-
ton that Is making thieves out of our
boys ana girls. Fl. LEE SMITH.

Suggestions are afioat that Boulder

ponents say that as there is Roose-

the most appropriate thing in the world

reason to suspect that even Hiram
