ALERTNESS HELD
PEDESTRIAN NEED
Keneipp Tells Radio Audience
Safety Depends on
Watching Traffic.

The observance of trahic regulations
by pedestrians is prime factor In
traffic safety, George e. Keneipp, chair
man of the Subcommittee on Traffic
Education Of the Traffic Advisory
Council, declared in q radio talk over
Station WMAL last night. The pro-
gram was the seventh in q series on
trafic education being broadcast under
the auspices of the Traffic Advisory
Council.
Stressing the burden OF responsibility
which should be borne by pedestrians,
Mr.. Keneipp said: There seems to pc
no good reason why pedestrians should
fail to observe traffic rules which they
expect vehicle owners to obey. On the
other hand, 1t is obviously unfair for
the motor vehicle operator to take ad-
vantage of the pedestrians rights"
Mr.. Keneipp said 14,500 persons lost
their lives in the United States last
year in more than 100000 accidents in
volving pedestrians. Drivers are re
sponsible for a part Of the automobile
accidents which bring death or injury
to pedestrians" he said, but too often
pedestrians suffer wholly in conSe-
uuence of their own rash or thoughtleSS
acts"
The speaker asserted that the faults
which contribute mostly to pedestrian
accidents are crossing streets against
signal lights, crossing diagonally at in
tersections, crossing in middle Of blocks,
and walking into traffic lanes from
behind parked cars.
The cooperation Of parents toward
safeguarding the safety of children by
properly instructing them concerning
the use of the streets for playing. roller
skating and the like, was urged by Mr..
Keneipp. While there are traffic regu-
lations prohibiting the use of the streets
for such purposes. he said, the respon-
sibility for enforcing them in so far as
the children are concerned rests pr1-
marily with the parents.

Just how this location came to be
chosen as a site for the original China
town is matter of speculation, for when
the first Chinese came to Washington
that section of the Avenue was not so
wn-at-the-heel as in later years. So
far as can be ascertained from local rec
ords, the first Chinese to come to WASH

are also packages of tea of various blends

Inside, one encounters that peculiar
odor which to travelled Americans sug-

Chinatown. In the foreground are tables
and chairs, with numerous Chinese
smoking and drinking tea. Behind
long counter are neat shelves containing
a multitude of commodities and articles
of various size, shape and appearance.
They constitute, in fact, almost every
thing a Chinese normally uses in daily
life, except perhaps fresh food to be
bought at the market, for these are in
reality general stores, from which the
Chinese usually buys even the articles of
American manufacture which he may
need.
There are of course, many packages OF
tea, one of the most important OF all ar
ticles of commerce to Chinese. Then
there are Chinese groceries, canned
goods, with rather American-looking
labels, except for the Chinese characters;
dessicated fruits and vegetables, bottles
containing drugs, containers of herbs,
Chinese preserved fruits, and even ar
ticles of clothing.
In every Chinese place of business will
be found the original calculating ma

American invention by several thousands

owe their allegiance.
The other fraternal organization, the
Hip Sing Tong, has a much smaller
membership than On Leong and much
less influence.
In concluding business negotiations
prior to the flight from old Chinatown
in Pennsylvania avenue to the H street
district, local Chinese had the benefit Of
the counsel of the national president Of
the On Leong Tong, who came here from
New York for the purpose.
THE building in which On Leong head
quarters is now located is one of the
most extraordinarily decorative in WASH
ington. The three-story double brick
structure has been remodeled and re-
decorated in what is perhaps an Ameri-
can conception of Chinese taste, and the
effect Is nothing if not stimulating. The
building presents the gayest of appear

green, red and gold, and the pagoda-like

With his campaign slogan tex clusion of all Federal officers from participating in Territorial affairs, " Cash Cole, Territorial Auditor, to- day announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for re- election to that office. In char acteritic statement, he set forth his position clearly
 MT. Cole also announced he was to make the campaign as a Pro gressive Republican" and was not in the race at the behest of any of the several self designated lead- CTS of the organization.
 Stands On Record
 In a brief statement announcing his candidacy, MT. Cole said: "In filing again, I shall go before the people of Alaska on the record I have made in properly organizing the office of Auditor, and in at tempting to conduct it's business and carry out the duties imposed on the Auditor to the end that the best possible service would be rem dered to the public. It was and is my conviction that the office was created to be of benefit to the people rather than a few officials.
 Under the old system of Terri torial administration, conditions had been wholly unsatisfactory and it was the aim of those men who drafted the Act creating the Audi tors office to do just what is ex- pressed in the title, that is, "To reorganize the executive depart ment of Alaska" Responsibility was fixed and the office created which it was intended should be respon- sive to the will of the people.

 This was not to the liking oi those running things in the past and they set. out to place severe restrictions upon the Auditor which would make it impossible for the office to function as its creators had intended.

NEW BATTLE REPORTED BEING WAGED AT SHANG1A
Start on Huge Columbia Riuer Dam Urged
 As sMeans of Putting 100, 900 Men to Work
By HAROLD TURNBLAD

WENATCHEE, Wash, Feb. 2.- Construction of the gigantic Grand Coulee dam and development of the vast Columbia River basin are again being urged upon Congress.
 Senators Jones and Dill of Wash ington have introduced a bill intne Senate, with a similar measure also has been introduced in the House, calling for construction of this project, comparable only to the huge Hoover Dam and Boulder Canyon development, which it ex- ceeds in size and cost.
 The bill does not specify the amount to be required, but Jones says the board of engineers for rivers and harbors estimates the cost to be about $400.00O, 900.
 Advocates of the project point out that the starting of construc- ton would directly or Indirectly give employment to thousands of now idle workers.

 Power from the mighty torrents of the Columbia would be relied upon to pay for the dam within 50 years, although Congress is asked to underwrite the expense because of hte magnitude of the project. Worked in with the power and reclamation angles of the develop ment plans is flood control along the river.
 Four times more electricity would be developed at the Grand Coulee dam than at the huge Hoover dam project under construction on the Colorado river. Approximately l. 500, ,0OO acres of bleak desert would be transformed into some of the nations finest agricultural lands.
 Only small portion of the land would be opened to settlement at lone time in order to avoid over production of agricultural products. Diversification of crops would be insisted upon.
 The Washington State Grange, which formerly opposed the devel- opment of the Columbia basin, as 1 the area to be benefited by the Grand Coulee project is known, recently added it's endorsement to those of many civic and state or ganizations.
