Pullers-In and the Code.

Future historians of American man
ners and customs will find rich material
In the copies of the codes that are now
being submitted and with amendments
accepted by the National Recovery Ad-
,ninistration. These documents reflect
industrial and trade conditions IN their
provisions for regulation, some OF them
well known to the general public, others
tn only the workers and employers.
Perhaps through the adoption OF the
codes and their enforcement these con-
ditions will be altogether and per-
manently eradicated. One proposal that
Is now pending before the N. r. A.,
however Is not likely to be effectively
adopted. It was brought forth in the
course Of a hearing on the retail cloth
iers. code, when q representative Of the
trade urged that something be done
to abate the nuisance of the street
solicitors," who line the walks in certain
parts of New York, and perhaps other
Iaroe cities, and literally drag customers
into the shops. This is a very OLD
practice. Forty or fifty years ago the
s.pullers-in" Of Baxter street were

law and encouraged by the trade. They

Jumping the Yellow.

Observation of the movement of
traffic at almost any of the lght-con-
trolled intersections in Washington will
disclose that many motorists are falling
into the habit Il ignoring the signals,
to the endange ment Of other drivers
and Of pedestrians. 1t is quite COM
mon practice to disregard the yellow
cautionary light and to enter an inter-
section after it has appeared. This Is
positively in violation Of the rule. The
car that is past the line when the light
changes may be, indeed must be. car
ried across, but car that is still ap-
preaching the line when the light
changes to yellow should be stopped
short Of the intersection.
This ignoring Of the yellow light cuts
down the time of transverse traffic and
adds. to the danger to which pedestrians
are exposed at all times at intersec-
tions. jumping the yellow" is just as
bad as jumping the red" Yet it is
done repeatedly and apparently with
but little restraint. The regulations
should be enforced, with arrests and
penalties for those who thus ignore the
rules regardless of whether their action
leads to accidents. Indeed. the correc-
ton Of this abuse is most effective when
1t Is innocent of injury to others.

The Harnessed Lightning.

Yesterdays storm brought to the
philosophers attention a curious cir
cumstance of modern life. Ordinarily,
few would think of it, but the great
elemental disturbance which swept the
eastern section of the United States
momentarily gave it prominence. 1t
may be accepted as a measuring stick
for the progress which mankind has
made in the past two or three genera
tions Mysterious in its origin and
character, not yet analyzed or fully
understood by science, it is the har-
messed lightning, the power called elec-
tricity; and the degree of its i'm
portance in the economy of the people
was rendered abundantly manifest by
the incident of its temporary with
drawal.
Thousands of homes in the vicinity
of Washington last evening were with
out light. Their owners. relying upon
electricity for illumination, long ago
dispensed with ordinary oil lamps. In
the emergency they perforce fell back
upon candles, but the expedient was
unsatisfactory. They realized, possibly
for the first time in years, their de-
pendence upon the distant power plant,
and the experience was revealing.
Their electric refrigerators also had
suspended business, and there was no
ice to be had for the taking. A small
deficiency this might seem, but strange
ly enough remarkable demand for

Appreciates Comment
On Traction Service

To the Editor OF The Star:
You are to be commended for YOUR
editorial of yesterday respecting the
Improvements which could be made in
the local traction service
AS resume of the thoughts Of car
patrons on this subject, it Is remark
ably complete. Few Of the patrons who
register kicks through the press feel
warranted in expressing themselves so
completely in unpaid space, however
much they would like to do So There
fore, your remarks are both appreciated
and valuable from our point Of view,
however much they may annoy the
utilities, whose only thought during
prosperity was getting" to the limit,
giving, not what the law required. but
only what the authorities compelled,
and that. apparently, judging from the
commissions orders, only what the
companies dictated.
face about and cooperate with the pub
lic which they have so long antag-
onized both in print and on the track,
expecting their usual profits in time
of depression, when most others were
suffering loss, but with the Utilities
Commission daring to contend with
them and your paper talking plainly
about them, If they don't take the ad-
vice which has been a "tekel tekel" for
years, they stand to lose a much greater
proportion Of the millions in property
which has grown from a small begin

proportions. The glass Of milk or
ginger ale which otherwise would have
been a midevening refreshment was
an insipid affair.
The radio likewise was out Of com
mission. Any other time 1t might not
have been missed, but perhaps just
because it was silent it was wanted
There might have been interesting news
flashes to be heard, and the suggestion,
once entertained, was difncult to re-
linquish. The pathetic bankruptcy Of
the cabinet in the corner was an ag-
gravation, but nothing could be done
about tit was as lifeless as a stone.
In the more remote suburbs there
was no magic force to operate the
household pumps, and families neces-
sarily did without fundamental sup
ply of water. There, too, telephone
lines were down, and homes therefore
were isolated from contact one with
the other.
Had it been Winter there would have
been trouble with the on-burning fur
naces, which require electricity for their
operation. relied upon for heating.
Altogether, the downpour and the
gale had taught the community les

aspect Of the age. Humanity. 1t was
made clear. is living in an electric
world. The fact has been taken for
granted. but its meaning never was
more dramatically demonstrated.

times their enterprise and persistence
they were paid "by the piece" with
commissions for the suits that were sold
through their endeavors-led to lively
fghts, In which as a rule the prospec-
tive customer got the worst of the argu-
ment, the real aggressor usually getting
of In court, If hailed there. on the plea
that the trouble was started by the
other fellow.
In his petition for code-cure OF this
nuisance the spokesman for the retail
clothiers urged that the N. r. A. do
something to save the sleeves Of these
potential customers He indicated the
belief that this practice was unfair, but
as far as the printed reports OF his
argument go it is not indicated whether
it is regarded as unfair to the customer
or to the more orthodox trade. The
customer must, in all truth, take care
of himself. If he does not want a suit
Of clothes he does not have to buy one
because some one has plucked him by
the sleeve and led him to the shelves.
If he falls for the game he is the victim
of his own timidity or credulity. But
the matter Of fairness to the trade is
altogether another question. A suit of
clothes sold to one who is pulled from
the pave is chance for sale lost
to the more conservative, considerate
and conscientious dealer. And the evil
of 1t all is that the suit of clothes sold
in such circumstances is probably
shoddy and that it never by any pos
sibility fits. 1t is sorry world when
the pullers-in set the pace for COM
merce, and maybe the N. r. A. can find
a way to correct it.
