Although all spring hats fall
into a few classes, there are
two things that they all have
IN common, no matter what
the shape, and that is that
they show the forehead, and
they are individual.
The off-the-face hat is here
IN earnest. Even brimmed hats
are worn of cut high enough
) to frame the face and show at
least half the brow. The eyes
have a chance to look out, to
be seen. Width extends out
and up rather than hugging the
face as winter brims are doing.
And hats are individual.
They follow a few we'll defined
trends, but each hat is def
nltely for the woman who wears
1t, chosen to go with a particu-
lar costume, and different in
some detail from most other
hats she meets on the street
and there are enough to

II you lived there instead Of in WASH
ington. AS matter Of fact, some OF
the largest cities of the country have
the lowest rate of automobile fatalities
per capita population. You may be IN
more danger from autos crossing Main
street in a small town than crossing
Fifth avenue at Forty-second street, or
Michigan boulevard at Madison.
The automobile deaths per 100000
population are lower In New York City
than the average of 70 of the largest
cities. In Chicago they are higher, but
lower than in many cities In Detroit
they are slightly larger than in Chi
cago, although lower than in Cleve-
land. In Los Angeles, If we put its
population at one and one-half mil
lions, they are lower than in Chicago
or Detroit.
About 10000 people are killed by
automobile accidents every wear, not
including those involving collisions with
trains or street cars. Out of every 100
people who die from disease and all
other causes die as a result of auto
mobile accidents.
More people die from automobile ac-
cidents than from appendicitis, and
about one-fourth as many as from all
forms of tuberculosis.

than in Washington. Only one of these
cities had so low an auto fatality
record per capita as Washington. None
had lower one and nine had higher
one.
However the number Of automobile
fatalities varies also by territory, so
that it will be of interest to compare
the rate Of deaths from automobiles
per 100000 inhabitants in washington
and in other large cities in the same
part Of the country. Again, the fig-
ures are solely for fatal auto accidents
within the city limits, and they do not
include deaths from collisions with

BY BERTRAM BENEDICT.

When you drive your car up and
down Washington streets and avenues
are you always on your guard against
the possibility of an accident? The
chances are that you are, because
Washington has less than her share
of automobile fatalities in the course of
the year. It may be that our drivers
are unusually careful or our pedes-
trianS, or both: the fact remains that
the average citizen in Washington runs
less danger from automobile accidents
than the average citizen of other cities.
In the So weeks ending on December
%, 1929, there were 109 deaths from
automobiles in Washington. This is
at the rate of 1913 per 100000 popula-
ton. In IS Of the largest cities of the
country, the rate was ass per 100000
inhabitants. In other words there is
about Is per cent less danger in Wash
ington from deaths by automobile than
In the average large city Of the United
States.
Many persons suffering accidents out
side of the city are brought into Wash
ington afterward. Seventy-six of the
100 fatal accidents from automobiles
chargeable against Washington occurred
within the city. This is a rate of
1873 automobile fatalities within the
city for every 100000 inhabitants. In
70 of the largest cities OF the United
States the rate for deaths from auto
mobile accidents within the city was
al. or about IS per cent higher than
in Washington.

Since the size of q city has much

TIME act Of Westminster, putting
in writing for the first time the
constitution of the British Com
i monwealth of Nations, will soon
be introduced in the British
House of Commons, because 90 years
ago the grandfather Of Canada's present
premier led rebellious citizens in an at
tempt to capture Toronto.
When William Lyon Mackenzie and
his poorly armed patriot" army were
put to utter rout after the merest excuse
of a battle, the few shots fired started
the British Empire on its march toward
the goal of autonomy under one crown.
The fight which the grandfather lost
with a toll of one man killed, two exc
cuted and several exiled. paved the way
for the constitutional triumph of the
grandson announced in February which
removes the last vestiges Of old colo
nialism from all the self-governing
units of the British Empire.
Battle Site Unmarked
The battle of Montgomery's Farm, its
site not even marked by brass plate,
is now being recognized as OF greater
import to things British than Crecy,
Agincourt or Plassey. Mackenzie failed
as a general and a politician, Yet it
was the rebellion he organized and the
battle he lost that started the consti-
tutional movement toward complete
national status realized in the regime
of his grandson, William Lyon Mac
kenzie King.
The Mackenzie rebellion was not as
serious as the uprising at the same
time in Lower Canada, led by Papineau

in the same way. 1t was the little
outbreak of British against British in
the wilderness of Upper Canada that
caused the home government to realize
something was radically wrong and
sent Lord Durham out to investigate.
Turning Point Recalled.
Lord Durham's report, the tangible
result of the rebellion, paved the way
for responsible rule realized in the next
decade. It marked the turning point
in the reaction against democratic tend
encies. Britain'S method of preventing

Taft's reading the night before of an

that Taft had written to him. in which
Taft acknowledged that Roosevelt had

was there serious overseas interference
in the constitutional development toward
autonomy.
The act Of Westminster announced
following conference in London this
Winter Of Dominion and British repre-
sen.atives, provides q legislative reali-
zation Of the broad principles outlined
at the imperial conference of 1926, the
first conference at which Canada was
represented by Premier King.
The new act is intended to harmo-
nize legislation with existing conditions.
1t is to remove the anachronismS which
have persisted in the statutes like blue
laws in Boston.
The amendments, as at present
drafted will go to the Imperial Confer
ence to be held this year and then will
pass to the various dominion parlia-
ments for ratification. The central
measure, the enabling act, will 60 10
the Parliament at Westminster.
The act Of Westminster will meet
with no opposition in the British Par
lament. The rights Of dominions to
anything they request in the form of
legislation has long been recognized.
In the Canadian House 1t viii be Diff
ferent. There is q strong ultra-im-
perialistic minority which views steps
toward Canada'S complete nationhood
as steps away from Britain. Already
there has been noisy objection to re-
moval Of colonial anachronisms. But
as the leaders and the majority Of the
two political parties do not parade
their British loyalty under the cloak of
ultra-inperialism, the possibility of
Canada refusing to repeal the last
vestiges Of colonialiSm Is not even con-
sidered.
To Canadians it now seems as II the
evolution of the third British Empire
was complete. What direction the next
move will take Is not worrying any one
The first empire In America came to a
sudden end with the American Revo-
luton, when Nova Scotia and Quebec
alone were left to Britain. Without
the concession Of responsible govern
ment, the direct result Of the Mackenzie
rebellion in 1887, the second empire
would have invited the same disaster.
Responsible government has since been
conceded to all the dominions, with re-
suits that have created the third en-
pire-the British commonwealth OF
nations.
In Canada there Is no move toward
separation. The breaking Of imperial
ties has only strengthened the bonds
Of loyalty. Canada Is not In any way
bound to the old country. The act Of
Westminster will proclaim to the world
that the empire has become John Bull

rying on independent companies In

Against him, during the first 10

King, Constantine, married to the
Kaiser's sister, an honorary field
marshal of the Germany army since
the war with the Turks-and proud OF

and SerbS-landed at Saloniki, Veni-
zeloS protested as matter Of form, but
at the same time secretly warned the
French and British Ministers that 1t
was step of no Importance, taken In
order to avoid breach with the King.
But q few days later, at the begin
ming OF October, 1916, during speech
he made in Parliament advocating in

Deputy interrupted him:

"All the enemies of our friends will

He had never committed himself so
far. On the next day he was summon
ed to the palace, where the King de-
clared to him that the Anglo-French
landing was equivalent to the violation
OF Belgium-and exacted the resigna-
ton Of his prime minister.
Venizelos remained another year
struggling in the capital. He ended by
drawing threatening hatreds on his
head. Finally. he decided to act. On
the 26th Of September, 1916, came his
night from Athens, while man, clev-
erly made up as his double, showed
himself at the window for a few days
to deceive the police. A few days later
he founded at Saloniki the National
Defense government. Then, officially,
there were two GreeceS, divided from
each other by hatred the results of
which still make themselves felt. In
June, 1917, came a formal reuniflca-
ton; but it followed on a deed that
still increased the secret grudges.
