ASKEDBY NEGROES
Racial Discrimination Is
Charged in Statement of
CoIored Group.

Race discrimination is depriving
members of the colored race of an
adequate opportunity for employment
in the District government it was de-
c>>red in a statement issued today by
the Civic Center of Affiliated Associa-
It's of the District of Columbia, with
headquarters at 1913 Thirteenth street
Two charts accompanied the state
ment. which are designed to show the
contrast in the number of white and
colored employees in the police and fire
departments, while the statement de-
clared this unfair condition Is even
worse in the other branches of the
local government.
"In the other departments of the Dis
trict government" the statement add
ed, "our young men and women are
almost wholly ignored in clerical posi-
tons. The Offices Of the collector Of
taxes, assessments, arrearages, permits,
license, water registrar, sewers, archi-
tect and surveyor and other divisions
are from 90 to 100 per cent white en-
ployes above the rank of laborerS and
messengers.
I'm spite of this discrimination we
are expected as citizens and taxpayers
to earn lawful living. The vagrancy
law demands that we work. The I'M
written law of race prejudice seems to
decree that we shall not be given an
opportunity to work. Our group is will
ing and anxious to work if gwen
chance"
The charts show that opportunities
to work are given 35 white young men
to one opportunity given a colored man.

AUTO INSURANCE
STUDY IS URGED
Liability Does Not End With
Amount Stipulated in In
sured's Policy.

Too many automobile owners have
an accident, severer, perhaps, than the
bumps, when they discovered what
liability they would have to pay, ac-
cording to a leading authority on auto
mobile liability insurance.
Carrying liability insurance on ones
automobile Is important, but IL Is
equally important to the assured that
he carry enough of it. and there is
only one safe method OF determining
that amount, he declares. Make an
inventory of personal holdings and in
come, and take out insurance accord
ingly, because you are liable for any
damage above the amount specified in
the policy, and If necessary, salary and
everything you own may be attached in
order to effect a settlement. Too many
automobile owners base the limit OF
their insurance on the price OF their
car when there Is no relationship what
ever between its value and the amount
Of liability insurance to be carried.
Points to Be Considered.
'Ts the company financially stable?
Els it a national plant with agents all
over the country, or Is 1t local organ
ization?
Are you likely to be inconvenienced
IL you iniure a person in some town
hundreds Of miles from home and the
local sheriff holds your car pending set
Element? Or would you prefer to find
an agent in the immediate vicinity who
after satisfying himself as to your ere
dentials. has the authority to release
your automobile. and allow you to 90
on your way. leaving him to take care
of the details of your accident?
Has the company a reputation FOR
prompt action, or is it inclined to delay?
"An Of these points should be Ascer-
tanned before you insure. Selection Of
company is entirely matter Of tndi-
vidual choice but ii Is wise to be IN
formed to what extent there may be
choice.
Rates Based on Facts.
do not be blinded by bargain insur-
ance, since rates are based on facts
after a compilation of territorial haz-
ards and are pretty much the same in
all standard companies. The insuring
agreement in a public liability contract
agrees to pay all sums for which the
assured shall become liable and to de-
fend the assured in all suits. Specif1-
cally, this means that the insurance
company will investigate all cases. pay
court costs and settle claims up to and
including the amount named in the
policy If, however, appearances indi-
cate that he assured will be called
upon to settle for considerably more
than his policy. the insurance company
will very likely suggest that he retain
his own lawyer to fight the claim be-
yond what his policy names"

high-cost car operation, excess road up
keep and so on.
Since 1921 North Carolina has spent
a considerable sum of money on high
way improvement, but so have many
other States which certainly have less
to show for it. North Cardinals high
way planners looked into the future,
decided that the pay-as-you-go plan
was usually slow, inefficient and I'M
progressive, and issued bonds. These
bonds. $l5,000,000 worth, have enabled
that State to lay some 2,370 miles of
rural roads in addition to other i'm
provements. These bonds are in use,
they are being paid for by the motor
lists of today and those of tomorrow
as well.
In effect, North Carolina has pur-
chased a highway plant on the install
ment plan. And now that plant is

at all times during driving, even at mo-

purpose served is to make giving them

1T is a pretty human impulse" he
says, Ito let down in ones concentra-
ton when one gets into the country. I'm
fortunately one of the first principles of
good driving to disappear when this
mental attitude is assumed is the giving
of signals.
To-day we are face to face with the
fact that the open highway is not SO
open as it once was. This of course, is
especially true during the Summer
months when the tourist movement sup
plements the tide of local traffic over
country highways. The state of af-
fairs is in no way comparable to the
congestion Of the city, but If we have

earning large dividends for its motor
ing stockholders.
Through the income from the scent
gas tax and motor license fees North
Carolina has enough money to take
care of the annual retirement and in
terest requirements with a sum left
over after maintenance that provides
for considerable additional pavement
construction.
North Caroiina's achievement is be-
ing taken as model by nearby States;
South Carolina has just adopted a
S65 900 900 issue and Georgia, with but
few connected, improved roads is likely
to issue s75,oo0,e0o or 100000, 900

A large part Of the job in North
Carolina is done. Trucks and buses,
flivvers and limousines In growing num-
bers now scurry from population center
to population center without getting of
the hard surface. The saving in oper-
ating this vast herd OF cars over these
improved roads makes the gas tax look
like an atom.

PARIS P).-Priority of main high
ways over small roads Is to be re-

Endless criticism followed the govern
ment's adoption of the rule that the
driver coming from the right always

accidents were charged against the rule.
Priority on the larger road, however.

fewer cars, they are moving at higher
speed.
This high speed always shortens the
interval for action to avert mishap.
Signals, therefore, are doubly important
The man behind, often very close be-
hind, must be kept informed of the first
drivers intention, whether it be to stop,
or make a right or left turn. We see
many narrowly averted accident be-
cause this information is not given
often by drivers who would not think of
doing such thing in city traffic.
If signals always are given, they be-
come habit and the habit is one of the
best the average motorist could acquire"
