DRIVER HELD BEST
Motorist Who Pulled ReinS
Declared Superior-Traf-
fic Control Seen as Lax.

People who have driven horses are
better automobile drivers than those
who never handled a pair of reins,
DR.. J. P. Turner, veterinarian and
president of the Sixteenth Street
Highlands Citizens Association. de-
clared in commenting on Washing
tons traffic problem at a meeting
of the association last night in the
Brightwood School.
"I have been driving since 1894"
he said, land it is my opinion that
people who drove horses before learn
ing to drive cars are better judges Of
distance and make better drivers.
Traffic laws are not enforced in
Washington, he said. There are
not sufficient traffic policemen. Not
half of l per cent of the drivers in
Washington obey traffic rules regard
ing crosswalks, where I think the
regulations call for speed of not
to exceed 10 or Is miles per hour"
To Get Police Opinion.
It was decided to summon the cap
tain Of the sixth precinct to explain
the traffic situation to members of
the association before action is taken
DR.. Jesse Benjamin expressed belief
that to enforce the traffic laws in
the downtown section an extra partol-
man is needed at each intersection.
What can traffic policeman do
on a tub in the middle of the street -
he asked. If he sees a violation he
can't leave his post to make an ar
rest, because if he does some one else
will violate the law. There should
be policeman standing on the curb
where every one can see him and re-
port violations to him directly and
at once"
Might Use Motor Cycles.
Jesse Pawling thought that if this
extra man were given a motor cycle
the situation would be improved.
I'VE should have a mobile force of
motor cycle policemen to enforce the
traffic laws" he said, land those who
should pay tor it are those who bene-
fit-the car owners. I do not believe
in reducing taxes on motorists"
The association voted another
change in its meeting night, changing
from the fourth Wednesday to the
third Wednesday,
The association voted to hire a
professional to collect dues from its
delinquent members. paying him 25
per cent of the dues collected. A sug-
gestion that some one be hired from
District relief rolls for this purpose
was tabled.
On motion of DR.. Benjamin it was
voted that if any of the pending pro-
posals for changing the form of the
District government are adopted by
Congress ''it is the sense of this as
sociation that it is highly essential to
the interests of the library using pub
lie that the Board of Library Trustees
of the Public Library be continued as
at present, whether or not the Dis
trict government continues un-
changed"
Henry I Quinn. member of the
Board of Education. was appointed
chairman of committee to study the
desirability of extending the club
plan for boys and girls in Wash

Loveliest of Footwear Is
Fashioned of Gold Kid

Nobody seems to be talking any
thing but gold these days-and as
was to be expected, fashion follows
along right through with econom-
les. We have gold sequin trim
mings for evening gowns, gold lame
collars for afternoon dresses. and
gold kid mules for wear when
there's a spare hour to relax at
home. Some of the loveliest foot
wear In the lounging footwear de-
partments this season is done in
gold kid. and it reaches the height
of luxury when it is trimmed with
silver kid bands and Innings. There
are also interesting colored kid
boudOir slippers to match or con-
trast with different negligees.
These little metal kid D'Orsavs
or mules are being shown by the
shops this season In the most
tailored styles of fashions dressy

1t is not only that blouses OF plaid

be, are glorifying daytime tailleurs,
for just as striking are all sorts of

Cave May Yield Secrets
Scientists Have Sought

the sub-tropical, whereas during the
farthest advances it may have ap-
preached a state comparable to that
of northern Canada at present.
Why the cave should have served
as sort of community tomb over so
long a period is unknown. The bones
were not arranged in any marked
stratification, but were all mixed to-
gether. They furnish additional evid-
ence, however, of the changing tenn
peratures during the long ages when,
so far as is known, there was no hui
man population in North America.
The cave Is located in a cut made
by the Western Maryland railroad
through limestone ridge about four
miles northwest of Cumberland. 1t
was excavated by the late Doctor
Gidley, and study of the bones, now
preserved at the National museum, is
being continued by Mr.. Gain. Alto

SHOES IMPORTANT
WARDROBE ITEMS

Here Is a little style dissertation
we shall go into feet first. shoes be-
ing as important as any item in the
entire wardrobe.
Raoul makes sort OF sandal

the outer side between the instep

around the side and through these
narrow strip of leather Is laced
in and out twice. The rest of the

II Is cave in the Allegheny
mountains near Cumberland, Md,
where the bones OF nearly 80 differ
ent kinds of animals, several new
to science, have been collected. All
these creatures lived during the
Pleistocene geologic period, the So
called Ice ages, which extended over
approximately 100000 years and
were marked by alternate advances
and recessions of the great glaciers
over eastern North America nearly
as far south as Maryland.
The remarkable feature of the col
lection Is the wide variety Of crea-
lures who found this common grave.
Some-notably a crocodile-like crea-
ture, bats, tapir and some pee
caries-represent families which
now are tropical or subtropical In
their distribution. Others, such as
wolverine and a lemming mouse,
now are confined to high ATTITUDES.
Furthermore, some seem TO indicate
dryer conditions than others. al
though the greater number of forms
are suited to a forest environment.
1t is believed improbable that crea-
lures physiologically adapted to such
a wide variety Of conditions could
ever have lived contemporaneously
in western Maryland In a report
published by the late j. w. Gidley
and c. l.. Gain of the Smithsonian
staff. it is suggested that the incon-
sistencies may indicate a period Of
cave entOmbment long enough for
important climatic changes to have
taken place.
They hardly can be due. Gain
says, to a wide variety of topograph-
ical conditions in the neighborhood-
the close association of warm low
lands and cold uplands. Study of the
Potomac river and creek levels of the
neighborhoOd indicate that during
the Pleistocene there was probably
less topographic relief than is the
case today.
1t is known that temperatures dur
ing the PleistOcene varied widely
with the advances and recessions of
the ice sheet. During the far north
ward recessions the climate of west

Glorious Deeds That
Redeem Wars Savagery

There were many shining exam
pies of the Golden Rule in action dur
ing the World war. A German
writer, Bernhard Diebold, wrote a
volume entitled "The Book Of Good
Works." in which, among others, he
records these deeds:
"An Englishman drags along
heavily wounded German and arrives
with the man he has saved in the
enemy's trenches. Germans conceal
wounded Frenchmen in the heaviest
fire and in disobedience to orders. A
Russian slips over a wounded and
freezing prisoner the cloak which
thief had stolen from him. English
airmen fly low to protect a German
convoy of wounded from their own
artillery. German prisoners Of war
save a British aviator from the blaze
of his wrecked plane.
"a Frenchman refuses to fire at
German who is reading a letter with
a happy face. An Austrian staff doc
tor arranges a truce so that he may
receive material for bandages from
the Russians"
Miracles of love were performed on
these fields of death, Miss Stoddart.

OF course, players do not know of

The hostess scatters the remaining
popcorn over a cleared space in the
center of the room, and at signal
each person picks up one kernel at a
time in the effort to gather the larg-

Merry Time at Popcorn Ball
Entertainment That Can Be Made Thoroughly En- JOY
able at Trihing Financial Cost and Little
Labor in Its Preparation.

In these days. when financial prob
lens are so generally harassing,
/ there is tendency to curtail in en-
tertaining. While this seems a nat
ural result, it is, nevertheless, to be
deplored. 1t is when spirits are low
that the heartering of congenial COM

social events that DO not drain. or

cut down too decidedly on the pleas

In order to do this with no reac-
tion in the thought of too much
money spent which would come on

done too lavishly, let me suggest

can be given at trifling cost.
The word ball suggests evening

Before the event, the hostess pops
corn, dips some kernels in vegetable
dyes of different colors, wires a few
kernels with one color, edging them
with green, and makes two nosegays
of similar colors. and as many nose
gays as there are guests. These she
arranges in two little baskets. From
these she presents boquets 10 the
men and the women. Matching
boquets secures partners for the first
dance. The music can be on the
radio, a victrola. or by different per-
sons whom the hostess asks before
hand to play for one dance. The cost
of musicians should be eliminated.
The hostess supplies needles and
strong thread. and great bowls Of
popcorn, which can be ready or be
popped as part of the entertainment
The players gather around the tables
