TRAFFIC PARLEY
OPENS TOMORROW
Uniform Laws Studied by
Joint Committee Preced-
ing Conference.

Studies Of uniform traffic laws and
ordinances today were resumed by a
joint committee of the Department
of Commerce and the United States
Chamber of Commerce preparatory
to the opening tomorrow of the fourth
national conference on street and
highway safety, which will continue
for three days in the Chamber of
Commerce Building.
More than 40 States, hundreds of
cities and a large number of organi-
cations interested in highways and
safety are taking part in the con-
ference. Studies of State and NUM-
cipal laws are being made with the
view of setting up uniform regulations
throughout the country.
Yesterday a Joint Committee on
Uniform Traffic Signals. Signs and
Markers, drafted its final report for
submission to the whole conference.
Continued use of green and red sig
nal lights at intersections was ap-
proved, but the committee recon-
mended that four instead of one or
two lights be used in order better to
protect pedestrians.
Some consideration was given to
the use of separate signal lights for
pedestrians, but this was abandoned
because of the danger of confusion.
Better locations of stop signs are
also asked, the committee pointing
out that in many cases in almost
every city such signs are obscured at
the entrances to boulevard streets.
Tomorrow the conference proper
will begin with an address by Secre-
tary Of Commerce Roper. After the
opening speech, he will turn over the
gavel to Col. A. B. Barber, director,
and A. w. Koehler, secretary.
Tomorrow and Thursday will be
devoted to final action on recommen-
dations submitted by the committees,
which have held series of meetings
here since the first of the year.
On Friday, Gov. Joseph B. Ely of
Massachusetts, and Mayor Bernard F.
Dickmann of st. Louis will be the
principal speakers.

This year has been a full one at
the House of Mercy. One young girl
was i'll, and had to be send to the
hospital-where she died. Her ex-
penses fell heavily upon the small
funds of the house. But not only was
she cared for to the end and the
funeral paid for, but her father was
sent the money to come to see her
Imagine what this meant to him, and
you can understand his broken
hearted gratitude.
Several girls were confirmed in the
beautiful little chapel, which is the
heart Of the House of Mercy, and two
marriages took place-one where the
father bravely came forth and under
took his share of responsibility in the
future of the tiny baby and its young
mother.
Tear Stained Letters Come Back.
Sometimes these girls marry other
men who understand and forgive, and
accept the child. Sometimes they go
back to their families-to find jobs.
But often tear-stained letters come
back to the House of Mercy telling of
scolding and unrelending parents, of
goSSipS spreading tales. of jobs lost
through knowledge of their one mis-
step-of utter loneliness and despair.
And these notes make one wish that
the quality Of mercy shown by the
House of Mercy could be more widely
spread over the earth.
This house, a fine, noble building,
was the gift of Mrs. Julian James,
and there is an endowment fund to
carry on the work. However, once a
year a benefit must be given to help
the work. And that is why the gar
den party will be held in the
Cathedral Close next Thursday from
2 until o'clock In case of rain, it
will be held the following day.
Old friends, who have been making
a success of these parties for more
than 20 years, are asked to come
back, and bring their new friends.
And if all cannot come. We are glad
of contributions or interest of any
kind shown in this very worthwhile

SAN JOSE, Calf, May 22.-The
moving body discovered in the

fers of the Lick Observatory staff
while taking photographs of Jupiter's
eighth moon, probably is tiny planet
and not a satellite of Jupiter, DR..
Robert G. Aitken, director Of the OBJ
servatory, reported today.
"It is practically settled" DR..
Aitken said. that the tiny object is
a planet revolving about the sun, just
as the earth does, and is not satel-
lite of Jupiter. Because its orbit IS
close to that of Jupiter we at first
supposed it moved with that planet,
but computations by DR.. Jeffers and
DR.. A. B. Wyse have practically set
tied its status"
The planet is faint and of minor
importance, the astronomer said.

s.Sz Q! Ezz sE.z.zz !!s -.

The other day I was in house where there were three children. one ten, the others younger. The daddy in good times was earning two hundred and fifty dol- lars month. Now he is earning thirty week.
 When the income was double what it is today. both father and mother were eternally singing the blues. True. babies cost money. and they didn't have inlaid spoons and forks on that. Furthermore, rents were sky high and shoes tried to kick the ceiling; coats must have been shorn by the Arr gonauts. and possessed silver, lin- ings like the louds they were made from.
 But still two fifty was two fifty. Yet I always got the impression they never knew just where the next pork chop was coming from.
 Then the cloudburst struck us and the rain fell. Dad was re. duced by painful inches until he finds himself in the, half-pay class. You can imagine that if the for mer tune was dolorous one, to- days Is a requiem.
 And I am sorry, truly. bitterly sorry, because there isn't a doubt in the world that they need many things they cannot have. What worries me about this family are the children. They seem healthy enough and they do have substantial clothes. Their mother is grand with a needle and can make a dress or even a coat out of hat band, almost. No use talking, she can and does manage well. To all intents and purposes the family, like most American families, takes pride in putting up a front and not allowing people to guess how close to the wind they run.
 I worry about the children be- cause they all have 8 big-eyed sub. dued look. They live in con stant atmosphere of gloom and complaint. They have you can tell to look at them, the conscious, apologetic and down-trodden man. ner of the crushed.

 My heart aches for them. Why in the name of common sense do these parents unload all their wor- ries and Announcements before their children?
 Inferiority is already so in- grained in the two oldest that even if they turn out to be King Bees of all Who's Who, they will always be bounded by a complex.
 Children will eat potato soup with pride like the little Wiggses, if they think their parents are msaters of themselves and accept life on a contented average, They don't miEd windows without cur tains, or sagging chair seats, if an atmosphere of peace pervades the home.
