The association recently completed
an investigation of traffic conditions
in Washington, preliminary to its
affiliation with The Star Safety Coun-
Gil In the present campaign. This
survey, Hohensee said. shows clearly
that lone Of the principal hazards on
the streets Of the city is the abnormal
and unneeded number of taxicabs
operating carelessly and often wan
tonly at all hours of the day and
night"
The association survey. he said,
shows that in the metropolitan area,
where the majority of cab fares origi-
nate, the stream Of taxicabs consti-
tutes more than 40 per cent of the
moving traffic. The association has
taken a stand In support Of COM
pulsory taxicab insurance to protect
the public.
Others Have Joined Council.
The Union Cab Association is one
of number of taxicab companies in

The washington letter, written by
c. N. Triley, 1882 Thirty-sixth street,
charged further that the affair was
an exhibition of incom oetence en- the
part of the police and that at least
two students had been injured, one
Of them seriously.
The incident occurred when a de-

to prevent students from tearing down

Were to
Blame

Three months ago, Mr.. Full
ton OurSler was a bit appre-
hensive about Joshua Todd"
Men, he figured, would like it.
But women, he reasoned, might
well be offended. Hence, he in
scribed an explanatory note
and spread it over the back
flap, less his intentions towards
American womanhood be mis-
understood.
It developed that Mr.. Todd
was q man who needed to be
shown what to do. He was
capable of indefatigable labor,
able to work well and perhaps
to reap his share of world ac-
claim, but when left alone, he
let his talents rust, or wasted
his time in aimless dreaming.
Women, therefore, provided
his incentive. Their bills, their
incessant demands drove him
on. From his piouS mother to
his vigilant wife, they showed
him no mercy.
Even his last and greatest
love expressed her dominance
by piling up heavier expenses
and responsibilities.
In short, as q SmaIl-town
newspaper publisher was wont
to express it, Joshua Todd
knew what he wanted, but
would probably never get it."
And women were to blame.
But for women, Joshua might
have written his play and seen
it produced before his first and
second wives combined forces
to send him unarmed into a
foreign world, his money wor-
ries unsettled and the problem
of work still uppermost.
Therefore, Mr.. Oursler was
apologetic. And worried. Now,
after the third month, he must
be q little amused. For most
ladies like 1t. Tt simply mar
rows down to this. More than
anything women want enter
tainment and, if Mr.. OurSler
can be "antifeministic" and
entertaining at the same time,
then the women are apt to
overlook the "affront."
They are even apt to forget
it when the book is as arresting
as Joshua Todd"

The book has to do with
her fight to be free of family
entanglements. But it is all
for naught. She loses her
husband, her lover, her freedom
and the use of her foot, which
is amputated in the closing
chapters. Small wonder then,

The tales of the conditions

characterization of the natives OF

Perhaps one of the most inter
esting stories behind the drawings
is the tale told of Princess

Princess had difficulty in under

inguist of the group.
When this linguist had finished
his monologue, the Princess
turned to other members of the
expedition and in perfect French
and perfect English said that she
couldn't understand word OF the

She had been educated in the
capitals of Europe and had gone

Glorious Career
The discovery concerns GORE,

Lachish and officials of ancient
Jerusalem.
It dates back TO a period OF
between 900 and 900 B. c., a
time when the Kingdom OF
Judah, the southern Israeletlc
kingdom whose capital was Jeru
salem, was at the height Of ltS
glorious career.
DR. Harrington pointed out
that the prominence OF judah IN
the history of Israel is so prom
inent that it's name has been
giyen to all modern languages OF
the nations of Israel and the
modern word "Jew" is deriVa
tive and corrupt form of Judah.

reign of Rehobam in 934 B. c
to the fall Of Jerusalem, wher
