the event with the keen interest
that attaches to all such social
phenomena. For some thirty
years the flower of American
manhood has been getting in"

gentle little bun, or one of those
souses which rises practically to

During prohibition it was
sobbed in Muerice's bar, Paris,
headquarters for the visiting
firemen, Simpsons and Ye
Olde Cheshire Cheese in Lon
don, and Alfredo's spaghetti
dive in Rome.
It made a mayor only a few
years ago, that song. John F.
Fitzgerald, of Boston, was
elected and reelected on a
straight Sweet Adeline" ticket,
and when Boston won the
world series one year the mayor
started proceedings by throw
ing his silk hat in the air and
bursting into "Sweet Adeline."
Down in Baltimore, after
they had nominated Woodrow
Wilson and were lolling back
in their chairs giving the

quieted the tumult by leaping

Governor Ely Of Massachu-
sets gave every governor in
the United States something to
think. about when he said to
the National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety at
its recent meeting in the Fed
eral City:
approximately thirty five
thousand lives are taken an
nualIy in the United States be-
cause of the carelesSness of
pedestrians or drivers of auto
mobiles.
"When we estimate the
deaths at thirty-five thousand,
no account is taken of the
number Of persons injured in
the United States.
"The records would indicate
that during 1888 q million
persons received bodily injury,
many of them undoubtedly
permanently disabled and made
crippled or hopeless invalidS.
1t is reasonably safe to say
that eighty thOu5and fey with
i'm this classification"
Disgraceful
The blame for this slaughter
of men, women and children on
the streets and highways, North,
East, South and West-muSt be
charged to the several States.
This is so, as the Governor of
Massachusetts, pointed out, be-
cause
''The State is responsible for
the safety and welfare. Of its
citizens"
The remedy, therefore, for this
disgraceful condition of affairs
rests with each State. And the
leadership in finding and apply
ing the remedy belongs first Of
all to the governor. OF all the
officials Of the State, he alone
represents the people in their
corporate capacity as a State.
They have a right to look to him
to take the lead in whatever
administrative or legislative
steps are necessary to stop this
annual slaughter of human be-
ingS and this destruction Of
property which is costing the
American people one thousand
million dollars every year.
Until there is in every state
in the Union a State conStabu-
larry, organized, trained, main
tanned and commanded by the
State. there can be no effective
cooperation between the several
States in the enforcement Of
uniform traffic laws and ordi-
nances along the streets and
highways Of the United States.
Until there is a State con-
Stabulary in every State in the
Union of sufficient strength and
equipment to police the State,
there cen be no effective CO.

ing people. of this country
against the kidnapers, murder
ers, blackmailers, racketeers and
other criminals Of gangdom.
In State after State today the
authority of the State has been
delegated to so many county
and local units that the State is
no longer able to discharge it's
responsibility as the protector
of its own citizens either against
the crimes of gangdom or
against accidents along the
streets and highways. It is too
much to expect the Federal
Government to provide Federal
police to do the work that only
a well-organized State police
can and should do.
Congress has gone long way
at this session toward moderniz-
ing the machinery of the law
for the apprehension and pun
ishment of persons guilty Of
Federal crimes and for the CO.
operation of the Federal Gov
ernment with the governments
of the several States in protect
ing their citizens against the
crimes and depredations of the
laWleSS.
Police to Expand
President Roosevelt is getting
ready to reorganize, modernize
and expand the police forces Of
the Federal Government in
order that there may be no lack
of expert personnel to enforce
old and new laws in dealing
with crimes that come within
the Federal jurisdiction.
But if the leadership of the
Federal Government in this
national warfare against crime
is to be effective, the govern
mentS of the several States
must do their part. And the
statistics cited by the Governor
Of Massachusetts in regard to
the annual slaughter along the
streets and highways proves
that the States are not even
doing their part to protect their
citizens against automobile &C.
cidentS, much less against
murderers, kidnapers, black
mailers, racketeerS and other
major criminals.
The States must do their part
by maintaining State police
forces under the command Of
the governors, If the leadership
of the Federal Government in a
national war against crime and
the needless slaughter on our
streets and highways is to eradi-
cate both evils.

District COnfereeS
A Faulty Principle


The conferees on the District appropriation bill cannot do
Justice to the District Of Columbia in the matter Of the Fed
era share the cy because they cannot
mend higher amount than that fixed by the Senate,
$67o000o.
THE coNFEREEs CAN HOWEVER, DO THE REASON
ABLE THING AND ACCEPT THE SENATE FIGURE AS
AGAINST THAT FIXED BY THE HOUSE WHICH WAS
APPROXIMATELY 81 100000.
There honest for the figure fixed by the House
and impossible to believe that the House properly
veyed situation carefully weighed the facts in adopt
ing that figure.
The House. spurred by the usual Of few Of its
members the District cut the Federal share to the smaller
amount through what obviously Misunderstanding Of
the facts.
It based its action presumably upon belief that the Dis
trict had borrowed 100000 from the Public Works Admin
sraton during the current fiscal year for and other
improvements.
Consequently under this belief it Topped that amount off
the Federal share apparently intending that the District
should repay what it has seemingly borrowed earlier from the
Federal Government.
BUT AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE DISTRICT COULD
NOT HAVE BORROWED AND DID NOT BORROW ANY
MONEY FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS ADMINISTRATION
OR ANY OTHER AGENCY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT. ,..
The citys officials would have been guilty Of violation
Of the law they had borrowed the money and the Federal
officers would have been in the fix they had loaned it.
The money obtained by the District outright
gift just similar funds obtained by other commun-
ties throughout the country The Congress provided that
these gifts should be made part of the recovery
ment.
Now the reasoning Of the House prevails the District
will be penazed for having participated in the recovery
movement directed by Congress.
FOR THE CoNFEREEs TO ACCEPT THE HOUSE
FIGURE OR EVEN TO BARTER ON THE BASIS OF THAT
FIGURE, WOULD BE FOR THEM TO ACCEPT A PRIN-
C1PLE WHICH Is OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND WHICH, IF
CARRIED TO ITS LOGICAL CONCLUSION, WOULD
ESToP THE DISTRICT FROM PARTICIPATION IN THE
GRANTS WHICH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Is
FREELY MAKING TO OTHER CITIES AND STATES.

Before the adjournment Of
Congress President Roosevelt
plans to transmit to the legis-
lative branch of Government a
proposal for vast development
of power sites, watersheds and
increased flood control.
From all reports the plan
will be little more than a
UtOpian dream. 1t will include
proposals for development Of
power sites similar to the Ten
neSSee Valley experiment. Pre-
ventiOn of soil erosion and con-
troll Of drainage areas will be
included in the recOmmenda-
ton.
One of the greatest advo-
Gates of such legislation is
Senator George Norris of Ne
braska, father of the TenneS-
see Valley authority plan. He
witnessed his plan for develop
ment of Muscle Shoals kicked
around the Congress and then
saw his colleagues climb on
the band-wagon and seek SINH
lar legislation for their States
when they discovered its bene-
fits.
To realize the dream Of
Norris and others for water
power development would take
"a hundred years." They ad-
NIT it would require that time.
To prevent members Of Con-
greSS from seeking to secure
S.pork" year after year, the
present plan is to create a sep
arate agency to which would
be allotted sums of money an
nually. The designated agency
would decide on the necessity
of particular developments.
If the dream could be rea-
lized it would be tremendously
advantageous to the people Of
the United States in years to
come. But, although it has not
been worked out definitely,
there are two features Of the
present plan which form great
obstacles in the road to success.
Senator Norris and others say
it would require "a hundred
years" to develop power sites
and establish flood control in
the manner they desire.
The time is long and admin
strations would change. With
the changes in administrations
would come changes in ideas as
to what was important develop
ment. Economic changes that
will occur in those years can
not be forecast.
Proposals are to take the
actual decision Of development
away from Congress. It is pro-
posed to set up a separate
agency to decide what work
should be done each year and
merely allow Congress to ap-
propriate the money.
OF what type OF men WoulQ
this separate agency be COM
posed?
An agency such as has been
suggested would be subjected to
terrific pressure. From every
source would come demands to
''hasten the work i'm this or that
area.
Has there ever been a govern
ment agency to which men
were appointed that could with
stand pressure if the pressure
was severe enough?
In approaching years the
plan might work successfully
even under administration OF a
separate agency but "a hun
dred years" is a long time.

WAS around at the firehouse tawk-
ing to Mr.. Riley, the hooken lad
der driver, and said, Did you ever
help to put out fire in a millionaire
house, Mr.. Riley?
1t wasn't house, it was a mansion,
Mr.. Riley said. And he wasn't ony a
millionair, he was a dook, a real royal
dook with his coat of arms on every
thing from his 10 automobiles to his
500 neckties. When we got to the place
smoke was poring out of all the stained
glass windows and the butler was
standing just inside the door with q
wet handkerchief up to his face waiting
for us to ring the bell It appeared he
had to announce us to the family be-
fore we could begin working on the
fire, but unfortunately we had no card
with us, Mr.. Riley said.
What kind of a card? I said, and
Mr.. Riley said, Why visiting card,
OF course. A docks butler couldn't
possibly announce a visiter without
having their card on his silver tray.
He'd lose his job and his pride all at
one stroke, and a butler without his
pride is even a sadder site than a
butler without job, so butler with
out either would really be too pitiful
an objeck to be imagined. Well, for
tunately there was printer a mile
or 2 away who was willing to oblige
by striking off a card with Engine Co.
No. 6 printed on it, and we dashed
back with it and the butler announced
us in fern but strangled tones and the
doOk instructed him to admit us and
we rushed in just in time to save the
family from being permanently suffo-
Gated, Mr.. Riley said.
Did you save the house, mean the
mansion? I said, and Mr.. Riley said,
We saved the outside but the inside
was a mess owing to the delay, and
the dook was so heartbroken at not be-
ing able to invite us to tea that we
took him back to the firehouse and
fixed up little tea for him there, but
I'm afraid the taist was spoiled for
him on account of all the SCOT on his

%HE smartest of this Winters
wooden shirtwaist frocks show
subtle suggestions of the dress
i maker influence in the soft
ened treatment of neckline de-
tails, and in fullness at the lower
sleeve Our pattern for today is an
ideal one for making up the new
plaids, stripes and animated checks,
because the limited number of seam
lines reduces the problem of matching
the fabric design.
The woolens that make the style
news of the season are soft in tex
ture and active in hue. Some of them
achieve their design through process
of weaving while others are printed
on the fabric in bias patterns, like
the one in the sketch. The latter type
is easier to use. and gives better wear
over prolonged period of time. Be-
cause of the dramatic quality of these
fabrics, dresses are cut on plain, slim
lines. Skirts are Made in two cores.
Bodices are free from intricate details.
And sleeves, in general, are made from
q straight-line pattern, gathered into
a cuff at the bottom.
The chief diversion in this dress is
the back and front yoke onto which
the waist sections are attached with
a fullneSS that gives free and easy
fit above the waistline.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
The Borrower.

T IKE everything else that has to do
IL with daily living, borrowing has
its psychology. And here are some
of the mental developments of those
who chronically live beyond their
means.
l. The borrower develops a forget
terry In time he forgets that he owes
certain debts. Have you any bor-
rowed books at your hme?
2. He tends to look with suspicion
upon his creditor, and to assign to
him all sorts of faults which he really
does not possess. Is there big
banker in any city who has escaped
unjust imputations?
8. The borrower loses a sense OF
values. Borrowed dollars, like bor-
rowed books, are easily lost"
4. The borrower multiplieS his obli-
cations. This leads to playing one
friendship against another. Have you
ever noticed the number of new friend
ships that the chronic borrower digs
up?
S. Finally, the borrower develops
that mysterious mental disease known
as kleptomania. He has abused the
instinct to gather wealth so long that
all sense of values disappears, anS
he "borrows" merely for the sake of
borrowing. Then all the meanness,
selfshness and envy, with which we
are all too we'll endowed comes to the
front and determines character.

Choosing Suitable Couture
BY LOIS LEEDS.

IN DECIDING the kind of coiffure
to use, milady must consider
more than the mode. She must
/ think of the shape of her face
and features, the formation of
her neck and throat. as these have
more to do with the kind of coiffure
suited to her than does the prevailing
vogue In hairdressing. AS a matter
of fact, so many different coiffures
are always popular, that it should
not be difficult for any girl to find
style particularly suited to herself.
Many girls like to wear bangs, and
these are usually very smart on tall
girls, whose faces are a perfect oval
and whose features are fairly promi-
nent. They are not at all suited to
one who has a fat face and small
nose.
To those who have a round face
with rather high forehead, the fol-
lowing coiffure is particularly be-
coming: Part the hair just to one
side of the center. The large section
of hair should have the merest sug-
gestion of wave across the top of
the head, but it should be waved
rather deeply at the side. The
smaller section of hair recedes from
the top of the forehead, comes for
ward in wave above the eyebrow,
recedes again, showing the temple,
and comes forward in wave on the
cheek. The ends are tucked under
and fastened with a wire clip behind
the ears. The back hair is twisted
into small coil on the back of the
neck or arranged in sculpture curlS.
The girl with rugged features
large nose and prominent chin-must
avoid sleek, straight coiffureS. She
needs a distinctly feminine style of
hairdressing with graceful waves and
Curls around her face. A becoming
style is to part the hair on one side,
wave it high in the center, and draw
1t over the ears.
Hair that is in the awkward grow
Ing stage may be parted down the
middle at the back, then brushed for
ward at each side and on top, to form
