 Of one chain. the bureau quotes fl om another report, "The frank and open desire of the central eN- ccutives and of the local managers f., this chain to talk over their prop lens and to secure ideas from oth -? progressive establishments on hours wages. and methods of employment was in striking contrast 10 the hidebound, oVerorganizcd spirit shown in some other instances"
 Higher Wages Needed
 Data in the Womcn's Bureau r@- port reveal great need of revised wage standards, since Of the mo Q than G.00Q girls in the limitcd-price chain department stores includ'G tu the survey, 7o per cent earned less than $15, fl per cent less thnn Sl2. and 25 per cent failed 10 tn- ceive even as much as $10 for 9 week in the last quarter of 1928.

COURTESY REGARDED
AS ACCIDENT CURB
Isaac Cans Urges Cooperation OF
Motorists to Help Reduce
Mishaps.

courtesy Is the greatest factor In
PTomoting safety on the streets and
highways and consideration for the
Iignts OF others will do more than any
tning else to reduce the toll of deaths
aLlo accidents. according to Isaac Cans,
cnairman OIL the committee on safety
Ul Cne Dlstrlct OF Columbia division,
american Automobile Association.
Mr.. Cans pointed out that a large
percentage of legal troubles over acct
oents and collisions center around the
question OF who had the right of way.
"A lew seconds delay on the part
OF motorists, in most instances, would
nave avoided the accident in the first
place he said, adding that careless
ness or lack OF courtesy on the part Of
car owners is principally noticeable
under the following conditions:
l.: Driving without proper attention
70 the road ahead or intersections and
while carrying on a conversation with
passengers on the rear seat.
2. Crowding the front seat so that
the operator has not sufficient space
10 work the utilities Of the car.
5. Excessive speed on crowded roads
or highways that are narrow and In
poor condition
4. Turning, passing or parking with
out any signal. This also extends TO
leaving the curb without regard for
approaching traffic.
s.. Driving on the wrong side of the
road at curves and hill crests
o. Blocking traffic by parking or
slow driving.
7. Driving with faulty brakes and
improperly adjusted headlights.
Mr.. Cans said that there are many
other indications OF a lack of courtesy
on the highway, but cooperation on
the part OF motoristA In overcoming
those listed above will go far In pro-
noting a greater degree Of safety on
