Washington's Speed Limits.

The inadvertence on the part OF the
Traffic Director in failing to specify
speed limits in Washington should have
no other effect than to bring up for dis
cussion the question OF whether the
District should follow the lead Of other
communities and abolish all speed linn
its. In the meantime, II there is any
doubt, technical or otherwise, in the
minds OF motorists here that there Is
not speed limit law in force, the di-
rector should promptly designate the
same limits that have been approved In
the past by the District Commissioners.
Simply through slip-up In the Traffic

Wash;ngtcn's we'll ordered speed resuia-

to run amuck on any such technical
grounds. II the inadvertence, how
ever. does nothing else, 1t does bring
up the subject which has grown to be
OF absorbing interest to those who di-
rect the trafic destinies of cities and
States.
There is no question but that Wash

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Shining Marks.

Shining Marks.
There was man who always tried
To lead life sincere;
His faults he never once denied.
He'd strive and persevere
To reach greater moral height.
And oft his hopes grew dim,
For thoushtlsss people took delight
In pickin' onto him.
The town he lived in was a place
All orderly an neat.
1t did not go a sporty pace
An stay up nights an treat.
But all its efforts so sincere.
They failed to make hit.
Communities both far an near
Kcp' pickin' onto it.
An that's the way it goes, my son,
With nations. towns an folks.
The ones that run to careless fun
Are eased along as jokes.
If you should seek, with purpose strong
A course direct and true.
Don't worry whsn they come along
A-pickin' onto you.

there are other bodies or not. But
there may be. And Mr. John D. Driver
and his family hope to be right there
when a shocking souvenir Of this lends
crime is brought TO light
Children were taken upon these eX-
petitions By the hundreds, perhaps
thousands. They must have known
what it was all about. Their parents
must have explained to them at least
the outlines Of the crime. They were
probably As keenly agog for some evil
dence OF the atrocity as their elders.
What lesson for them! What a sweet
and wholesome influence to bring to
bear upon Their sensitive natures! Can
any psychologist MEASURE the evil effect
upon these iu"eni'e minds Of this con-
tact With one Of the most aboninable
crimes tins country has ever witnessed?

ditions frequently works q hardship on
drivers OF motor cars. OF course, COM
munities that have dropped this type
OF regulation take on the enforcement
OF a reckless driving provision with the
utmost yigor, and 1t Is obvious that a
person can be just as reckless at fifteen
miles an hour under certain conditions
as he can be at forty under others.
Thus the reckless driving regulation
properly controls the motorist vino Is
a menace to traffic. II enforced with
good judgment on the part of the police
it Is far more effective than any speed
rule that has ever been devised because
1t Is flexible enough to take into con-
sideration the conditions OF traffic For
instance, person could hardly be
charged with reckless driving II he
reached thirty-flve or forty miles an
house far out on Sixteenth street with
the thorcughfare. yet il there was a
heavy volume OF trsffic he could very
properly be arrested. Or II a speed OF
fifty miles we're maintained In the
middle of the night in an otherwise
empty street. That is what makes the
regulation a reasonable one.
II would seem, therefore, that the
National Capital could well do without
a speed limit. but it is a question for
the Traffic Director TO study before the
change is made. At the present time
and before decision is reached WASH
ington should operate under the same
limits as III the past

II would be interesting to knew Just
how many thousands Of people, out for

to Clarksburg Just because OF the muir

Il would be also interesting to know
just how many thousands of gallons Of
gasoline were burned yesterday in the
pursuit Of this gruesome objective. And
how many domestic duties were neglect

der house. The total Of these items
would be an illuminating commentary
upon morbid human curiosity.
just what did the voysgers to C!arks-

there? A view OF the monster himself

must have known that such a glimpse
would be utterly impossible. A look at
the premises where the murders were
committed and the bodies were buried?
How interesting! An ordinary small
