OUTLOOK
BRIGHT

Prospects for passage at the
regular session of Congress Of
bill to compel all taxicab
owners to carry adequate
liability insurance were bright
today.
The Senate District Committees
subcommittee on traffic is tenta-
lively committed to the wisdom OF
such a law, which would protect
the public from financially IRE
sponsible operators OF taxicabs.
The subcommittee at it's first
meeting yesterday. strongly in.
dorsed Traffic Director w. II. Har-
lands sentiment that all cars, COM
mercial o" private, should carry
liability insurance.
To Protect Public
Chairman Daniel o. Hastings. of
Delaware, however, was particu.
larly emphatic in asserting that
taxicabs are charged with the re.
sponsibility of carrying passengers
and that owners should be re-
quired to carry sufficient insurance
to protect the public.
The subcommittee Is to meet
again on Friday morning to dis.
cuss this question in greater detail
with Harland. and 1t Is probable
that a bill will be recommended TO
the full District Committee for
introduction at the regular session

Yesterday Morales was placed on
probation by Judge Isaac r. Hit in
Police Court following his arraign.
ment on a charge of simple assault
made by his young wife. Later in the
afternoon, Morales filed suit for
limited divorce In equity court in
which he charged that his wife had
deserted him after her mercenary
motives in marrying him had dis
closed themselves.
COurted a Week
The couple were married Decem-
ber -, last. Morales declares after
he had been introduced to his wife
by her mother less than a week
before.
At the time of the marriage
Morales says he gave his wife SASS
he had saved from his salary as a
book binder in the Government Print
ing Office. His wife gave 5000 of
the money to her mother Morales
says.
Within a short while after the
marriage and while they were living
at the home of his wife's mother,
Morales says both his wife and
mother-in-iaw ordered him to leave
the house, although he says he was
paying an excessive amount for
lodging.
Through Attorney Frank F.. Elder
Morales says his wife was malicious
in swearing out the warrant against
him and the charge was unfounded.
Morales declares that he was forced
to go to great expense to avoid
conviction on her charge and denies
that he assaulted his wife at all. ,
He asks the court to grant him
a limited divorce and to restrain his
wife from molesting him. He says
she has interferred with his work
and her treatment of him has in
| jured his health.

should be continued on down into the Casadepaga, as we are expect ing considerable activity in that vicinity in the near future. We have it on good authority that two dredges will be transported into that section this coming summer. The Ruby Divide needs consider able attention, and the road on thhis side of the divide also. In our opinion this road is very war ranted as soon as possible.
 That road be constructed by the way of the Kougarok River {" the nearest and best point of the contemplated Nome-Shelton Tram way, a distance of about 30 miles.
 That the construction of road of some type. preferably Tram, from Keewalik to Candle has be- come imperative. as the river has become so filled with silt, that it Is practically impossible to navi- gate. This year alone, there were approximately 25o tons of supplies left at Keewalik which should have been in Candle before the freeze up. If the first part of this road were constructed next summer ga far as what Is known as the Second Rifle on the Keewalik River. Ca distance of about a mile and T halD, 1t would aid the River traffic to large extent. Freighters could then meet the scows and assist in moving freight.
 Completion of the repair of the present Candle Road is necessary. A bridge across the mouth of Pat terson Creek is vital to operations above that point. The road should also be extended from its present starting point back to the tKeewa- lik River and tie on with the pro- posed road to Keewalik
 The construction of bridges across
 Bonanza and Eldorado Creek will enable teams to go out to Quartz Creek where promising develop ment work has been begun. This
 is on the regular mail trail and wilk be of considerable aid to tra- vel in general along this route. The completion of the above pro- gram of road work would cut our cost of transportation to reason able figure; increasing thereby the activities of this section and en- courage the development of large bodies of known low-grade mineral deposits.
 This is the second largest com munity on Seward Peninsula and If transportation facilities were suf- ficiently improved will be develop ed into one of the leading pro- ducers for many years to come. That the road leading from
 Deering to Utica be reha biliated and gravelled so that cars may be able to pass over it; also that i'm proyements from Utica to the head of the Inmachuk River be l made in order to facilitate some kind of transportation.
 That a road be constructed from the Pilgrim Hot Springs to con- meet with the Nome-Shelton Tram, as this would not only furnish ton mage for the tram-l;ne, but would also make it possible for Nome to be supplied with fresh vegetables during the summer season from the Hot Springs.

That the road leading from

 named section carrying plenty of

 ject of the Territorial Board to
 get prospecting started in this sec
 ton once more as it is very inac- cessible during the winter season. and we feel that this trail proper

 tors to go there. We also recom- mend that grader be run along
 side of the permanent stakes some time during the summer season to
 knock of the "nigser-heads" and smooth the trail oH as far as pos
 sible without too much expense. This recommendation to apply to
 other permanently staked trails wherever possible.
 That a trail be staked. with per
 manent stakes the same as above, running from the Powder Maga- zines on Dry Creek. directly north to the five mile post or your bridge on the Bessie-Dexter Trail. That during this coming summer, prob ably about one mile of this road will need little levelling which
 will not amount to very much. This. also, fs our permanent win ter trail to the Nome River. Pill grim River and Kougarok vicini- ties, as well as the mail trail dur ing the winter months.

 thinks they are needed.
 It is quite unnecessary to re- commend the up-keep of the var
 ious roads on account of the able manner which your local Alaska Road Commission bos h,an dojov this work, and generally we corr mend the activities of the Alaska F,oad Commission in this part:cu- lar.

KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING
SAFELY is MOTOR AIM
Cities Must Build Grade Separa-
tiOns and Pave Parallel
ThOrOughfares
By E. E. Duffy.

BY E. E. Duffy.
The essence of Americas traffic
problems is contained in these
words-Keep traffic moving with
safety.
A certain mid-western city points
with pride to wide boulevard that
is capable of accommodating many
thousands of cars daily. Yet much
of the value of this roadway is lost
through its abrupt conversion into
a narrow street along which park
ing is permitted.
Everywhere may be seen we'll
meaning attempts to make room for
the motorist that fail because of
the lack of adequate supplementary
facilities. 1t is usually impossible
to legislate more room into streets
through traffic ordinances. If the
street space is not there, then
those charged with the responsible
ity of handling transportation must
look around for other means. Stop
and go lights are unquestionably an
aid if handled properly, yet they too
remedy the actual ailment but lit
tie.
At busy road and street intersec-
tions traffic trouble is found at it's
worst. In suburban areas this
problem is more easily solved since
the construction of elevated inter
sections is more practicable. Sep
arating the two roadways by elevat-
ing one over the other, permits traf-
fic to flow continuously and safely.
Economists have determined that
such structures pay for themselves
in a very few years by direct saw
ings to motorists through time saw
ed alone, not to mention deaths, in
iuries and smashed cars avoided.
Most large communities have one
or more separated grades and there
is every indication that many small
er communities will install such
facilities.
In downtown areas where condi-
tons may not permit of the con-
struction of separated grades, the
problem is more difficult of solu-
ton. One distinct aid to lessening
congestion at busy corners is the
improvement of parallel route;
which causes traffic to become dis,
| tributed over more streets.
Motorists are shaking off the
once definite tendency to follow only
the well known main arteries. They
are now willing to seek parable
routes, even though the distance
may be a little greater, provided
these routes are we'll paved ant
continuous. Rough and broker
street surfaces will not attract mo
florists from the better paved mali
thoroughfares even in the face o
extreme traffic congestion.
Oddly, most cities, large or small
have as yet made little effort to de
velop parallel routes. Pavements
or near pavements, are still in ser
vice that felt the hoof beats of fire
wagon horses a score of years ago.
The real test of traffic fluidity
comes at five o'clock when the day.
accumulation of cars starts it,
bomeward trek. If the streets arr
choked and traffic moves in shor
spurts, as is the case in ninety
nine cities out of a hundred, theI
obviously the street system is in.
adequate.

Home Education
ABSENT TRAINING
Mary Starck Kerr

MAI OIdICh h6Tr
Mrs. Blank was the mother of one
boy. She had really good system
OF child training and had followed it
for several years. The boy seemed
an ideal child, so Mrs. Blank felt
safe, now, in taking a position out
side of her home. It was not abb
solutely necessary for her to go out
to work, but the money would en-
able the family to buy many things
for which they had longed.
But with the duties of the new
position, there was not much time
for home life left. Before Teddy's
school time, his mother was gone,
leaving directions for him to fol-
low when he arrived at home. But
there was no one to see that the
directions were carried out. Teddy
played with the neighbors' children,
and Mrs. Blank had no way of
knowing that some of the neighbors'
children had been learning many
wrong and injurious habits. She
did not know that, now, Teddy was
also learning these same habits.
She had followed her child training
system, and as it had worked out
beautifully so far, she trusted it to
go on working in her absence.
Mrs. Blank had forgotten that a
system of child training is at best
only a tool, and cannot work with
out the owners hand back of it..
One cannot press button to start
the machinery running in the morn
ing, and then expect it to go on
running smoothly all day.
The right kind of tool will work
wonders when someone is present to
use it skillfully, but it accomplishes
nothing when it lies at home with
out the trained hand to employ it.
1t was a terrible shock to Mras.
Blank when she heard of some
things her son had been doing. Her
eyes were opened to the fact that
she was needed at home. The
money she was earning at the office
was buying useful and beautiful
things for the home, and helping to
pay off the mortgage, but Mrs. Blank
decided that it would be better to
be satisfied with the plainest OF
/ A0l anu AOn5Cl " .~pdJ
for the home.
1t took some time to undo the
harm that had resulted from neglect
but the first step was a heart to
heart talk with the boy. He had
imbibed wrong idea of the value
of money as compared with Other
things, by seeing his mother so Gag.
er to secure it. When he saw hel
give up her salary for the sake OF
doing her duty at home, it did hin
more good than any amount of lee.
turing could have done. When hi;
mother and father ceased to spenC
money on fine Clothes" cosmetics
and tobacco, then the boy began tt
see something bigger and better
than quest for money to spend fol
toys and candy. The tool worked
again when its owner came home
and took it in her own hand.
If a mother is obliged to be away
from home, some other competent
person should be left to care for hel
child. She must not expect hel
knowledge of child training to be
effective during her continued alb
sence.
