Bay State Tests for Drivers
Offer New Field of Research

serts the Albany Evening News. but It
raises certain questions in connection
with the latest effort to improve condi-
tons: Severe tests for drivers may
keep some mentally unfit from driving.
one Of average intelligence could not
pass a test and still be unfit to drive.
There Is no doubt that many are driving
cars who should not drive them, but
Just the same even intelligent persons
who could pass any test may speed and
be reckless at times and be as likely to
have accidents as some Others"
THE trouble and the time will both
be well expended If the plaI. works out
as we'll as, on paper, 1t appears that 1t
should" says the Providence Evening
Bulletin, with the further comment:
From now on all new applicants for
licenses will have to submit to 1t, while
it is also the prerogative of the Motor
Vehicle Department to require that ap-
plicants for renewals of existing licenses
take the examination If the authorities
have reason to question their ability 10
pass 1t. The wisdom of the latter pro-
vision was demonstrated the first day
the new system was in operation. A H.
censed driver who had been involved in
two accidents within year and who
sought renewal was examined, only to
be thrown out on the first of the tests.
Out of six questions on the rules Of the
road he could answer only one correctly.
If the new plan had been in operation u
year ago, this man would mover have
betn licensed, and two accidents which
actually occurred would have been
avoided"

Radio and Quackery.

Gratifying signs of the willingness Of
operators Of radio broadcasting sta
lions to bar quack medical programs
from dissemination by radio come from
New York, where more than forty broad
casters have pledged the commissioner
Of health of the metropolis to avoid
questionable programs of a medical ma
ture and have suggested the appoint
ment of a committee of authorities to
pass on the merits Of doubtful appli-
ances or remedies seeking advertising
time on the air.
It is only fortnight since Or. Shirley
w. Wynne, the New York commissioner
of health, wrote the Federal Radio
Commission, asking that the commits
sion take some action to bar medical
advertisements of fraudulent nature
from the air. The commission has
taken DR.. Wynnes letter under con-
sideration, although it is not able. by
its own Interpretation Of radio law, to
censor radio programs. The commits
sion, however, may find it expedient "in
public interest and convenience" to
withhold the applications for renewal OF
station license to those radio station
operators who permit use Of their facili-
ties for quack medical advertising.
DR.. Wynne was asked by representa-
tives of several stations to supply then
with authoritative health talks to ait
in public health work, and announced
that he will get in touch with the
United States Public Health Service ir
Washington and various State health
departments In the East. urging thesl

Starlings Have a Right
To Live Undisturbed
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Fair play as a right, not as q favor,
ask for the starlings, defenseless
feathered creatures, made by God.
But a nuisance must be removed. the
people say. L beg to ask on what
grounds? Is it because they come In
a trusting way at the close Of day dur
ing a few months of the year, choosing
a sheltered resting place In the trees,
or on the buildings, apparently without
fear of man?
But they make such racket and
noise, in q chorus, we hear. What OF
that? It does not last long, only until
each feathered atom has found chosen
place where he can tuck his little feet
under the warmth Of his folded wings
But they bespatter the tops Of our
parked automobiles Are they respon-
s4ble for that? Mol They had nothing
to do with parking the cars, besides
the dirt can be washed off, but one
killed starting cannot be replaced by
man. God made them, so that we are
clearly responsible for their protection.
Let us cease this hue and cry for
their demolition, because for a few
hours each night during the cold Win
ter months, from the beginning of
November to the beginning of March,
from twilight till dawn, they come to
seek d IeSGulB place, ana because we
don't understand the important place
they, the starlings, faithfully fill In the
great scheme of things, every day all
through the IL months of the year,
without any assistance whatever from
us, the cry goes forth, Kill theml Kill
them!
To pause and try to understand their
usefulness would be far better. We
city jewellers cannot often, some Of us
never enjoy the wonders of the coun-
try and the fascinating outdoor marvels
where Nature carries out her ceaSeless
plan for the good of human kind.
Each one of these friendly starlings
has place and work to do in this
plan Of the universe. Springtime comes
and they are gone. During the wintry
months do not begrudge them lodging
from dusk to dawn. The starlings do
not ask us to feed them. They forage
for their own needs every day. Do not
seek their destruction. God made them
they are under our protection. Accord
fair play. There must be need OF
every one Of them, or we would not
have them with us. We cannot run
counter to the great plan of which
they are needed part, without frus-
trating the worth and good of it all
which, in the final analysis, brings the
greatest happiness to man.
Fair play for the StarlingS as friends
Do not destroy what God has made
and which man has not the power to
restore. ETHEL JANE RULE.

The Starting War.

Washington's war upon the starlings
Is Verging on the ridiculous. Indeed,
there has from the outset of the cam
paign been something rather comical in
the contest, with the birds having all
the better of the fray. First water was
tried, squirted through fire hose with
heavy pressure. The birds twittered
and f1uttered and hoped away to other
roosts. The firemen could not detach
and reattach their hose lines fast
enough to catch them in close forma-
ton. This lasted for short while, and
then another trick was tried. Strips OF
glass were tied to the upper limbs OF
the trees most thickly infested by the
birds, with the idea that the flashes and
tinklings would disturb the starlings
and frighten them away, or render theii
rest so difficult that they would seel
quieter quarters. The starlingS appeared
to thrive on the dainty vibrations o.
the glass and to enjoy the flashes from
the trembling surfaces. The trees thu
treated became more thickly populated
than ever.
Then there was respite & time. a
armistice seemingly haykg been Do

The Man Without an Audience.

William B. Shearer, lately much in
evidence before the country as the OBJ
ject Of an investigation by a Senate
committee regarding his activities at
Geneva and his financial relations with
certain shipbuilding corporations, has
now learned that public curiosity Is un-
dependable as basis Of revenue. While
he was in the limelight Of senatorial
inquisition he was the subject Of a con-
siderable public interest. But he had his
day on the stage of national attention
and it passed. Shearer did not realize
how tickle the public is In this respect.
He had to have an object lesson to con
vince him. He provided 1t himself. He
hired Carnegie Hall in New York City
and announced that on the night of
Sunday, the 5th Of January. he would
give the inside story of the Geneva
naval limitation conference and Of his
activities in behalf of national defense.
Wide publicity was given to the an
nouncement as news item. Last night
the lecture was delivered to an audience
Of $50 persons, one-half Of whom, it is
understood, handed the doorkeepers
complimentary tickets. Probably the
ITS who paid for their seats were in a
mood to demand their money back be-
cause, although the lecturer had prom
ised to give some inside information,
he merely recited the already well
known facts, developed at the Senate
inquiry, and widely broadcast by printed
reports throughout the country. The
plain and simple fact is that Mr..
Shearer has nothing more to say than
he has already said, and that the public
is not concerned in him, even if he had.
The only point of interest in the dis
course last night In New York was the
statement by the speaker that he does
not intend to go to the London confer
ence on naval limitation. Which simply
means that nobody has offered to pay
his expenses and fee as observer" The
market price of Shearer, Ltd, has fallen
to the vanishing point.

clared without prospect Of eventual
peace. The starlings multiplied, swept
to and fro, found new quarters, aban-
doned them, displayed their exigent
tastes In housing facilities, demonstrated
their gregarious habit, adopted building
lodges. spread their favors undiscrimi-
natingly. And eventually some one cried
for help loudly enough to start the war
afresh. 1t has been waged now for
several weeks, and the net result is
merely that some Of the trees in the
startling belt have lost a few of their
upper branches-cut of in the ruthless
campaign of elimination-and some
downtown buildings have gained a few
thousand more nightly front wall
tenants as the jocund birds have shifted
the smudge pots that succeeded water,
bells and saw as the artillery of the
municipality.
A census of the starlings cannot well
be taken. Some specialist in counting
bacteria through a microscope may
possibly estimate the number by means
OF binoculars, perhaps with Photographic
experiments. But the trouble is that
the same flock of starlings, sweeping
through the sky of an evening, on their
pre-bedtime flights, may be counted
several times. Suppose there are ten
thousand of them in the war zone, the
area between Ninth and Fifteenth
streets, along Pennsylvania avenue. That
number will give all the firemen and
the saw wielders and the glass filters
and the smudge pot experts of the Dis
trist Government plenty to do, and will
probably survive the assault by ninety
five per cent.
Suppose traps were tried, large, Turing
bird traps, into which the starlings were
coaxed by the display Of, specially
delectable food? The pestilential birds
could then be sorted out from the birds
worth saving and executed in lethal
chamber. AS long as the war is on 1t
might as we'll be waged ruthlessly.

Left-hand Turn Here
Declared Ridiculous
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial in The Star Of Janu-
airy 2 concerning the left-hand turn
situation in this city was splendid. Such
a ridiculous regulation Is deplorable in
city of this type where there are so
many thousands of tourists. It is al
most maddening for the motorists who
are driving about Washington constant
ly. It Is not only the tourists who do
not understand the Washington left
hand turn but hundreds of drivers in
Washington and vicinity cannot keep
up with 1t.
To come down Pennsylvania avenue
at certain times of the day and have
one motorist make a left-hand turn
from the middle of the street and have
an officer suddenly step out into the
middle of the street to control traffic
and have the next motorist have to
scramble over to the right side Of the
street in order to make q left-hand
turn, Is certainly dangerous situation.
1t Is not any wonder when We have
guests from other cities that we have
to stand for lot of "raZzing" for our
traffic regulations. have driven in all
the large cities in the country and have
never experienced the disgust have in
my own fair city of Washington.

Sinking at Moderns
Is Called Dangerous

From the Springfield, Mass, Union.
From the New York State Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs the masculine
members of the race have received
warning that they must mind their
own business In the matter of long or
short skirts or else take the conse-
quences of their rash and unwelcome
meddling. AS the federation puts it,
"The male sex, which are grinning
from ear to ear at the advent of the
new styles and the apparent relinquish-
ment of the freedom which the fair
sex won after a long fought battle,
faces the possibility Of having the
smirk removed"
This seems to carry dire threat,
no less impressive because it Is some
what vague and yelled. The posi-
bility of having the Smirk removed"
may mean much or little, but evidently
1t means something and just what that
of the New York Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs are for the present keep
ing entirely to themselves. The male
biped who values his sn1irk should,
therefore, be bit discreet in his public
display of it, especially when he meets
an exponent of the new freedom with
the familiar symbols Of that freedom
draped under the folds of q new-style
skirt.
At least, II he feels that he must
smirk, he had better be prepared for
hasty flight from the zone of pos
sible danger. He who smirks and runs
away may live to smirk another day.
but heaven only knows what may hap
pen to the hapleSs male smirker who
recklessly stands his ground.
