have already signed and returned the
safe-driving pledges, but this latest
move is to reach all of them. This
probably is one of the few drives on
Congress that cannot be classed as
political or are any lobbyists involved.
The traffic problem is both local and
national and Democrats, Republicans
and Progressives are equally in
tereSted.
Marvin Pope, secretary to Repre-
sentative Walter Chandler, Of the
ninth district of Tennessee, has fos-
tered this present program. In his
letter to The Star he states:
1T have been much interested in
the splendid campaign you are wag-
ing for safe driving in the District Of
Columbia and its environs, and have
waited long time in vain for some
one to appear on Capitol Hill for the
purpose of enlisting the support en-
bloc of secretaries and other hired
hands who constitute the major
portion of its population just now.
while there are but few members
of Congress on this side of the hill
just now, and I dare say the same
situation prevails on the Senate side,
there are many secretaries on the job,
even though Congress stands ad-
journed. Among us, no doubt, are
the title of Rough Rider by a none
too careful adherence to the IL cardi-
nal rules for safe driving embraced in
the pledge which 1 am delighted to
sign and inclose herewith.
IT firmly believe you could get q
100 per cent support for your safe
driving campaign at the Capitol,
both before and after Congress re-
convenes. if you will but send some
one up this way to sell the idea to
Senators, Representatives and those
who make up their respective office
forces"
Capital Seen Safest.
II every motor vehicle driver would
observe the IL primary safe driving
rules which are a part Of the safe
driving pledge, Washington should
become one of the safest cities In the
country, c. j. Ralston, vice president
in charge of operations Of the Airing
ton and Fairfax Motor Transportation
Co., says in reporting to The Star
Safety Council that every driver Of
that company has taken the pledge
and that every bus shows safe
driving sticker.
I'm returning to you the signed
pledge cards for our company" Mr.
Ralston said, ct want to add my en-.
dorsement of the campaign you hav,
inaugurated for the prevention Of

already showing very good results.
"If every motor vehicle operator
will observe all of the II points tt
which he subscribes when signing thu
pledge, am sure it will not be lons
before Washington is one Of the safest
cities in the country. The next step
In my estimation, is to get all pedes'

means every one, for every motorisi
is a pedestrian at times.

BY the Associated Press.
II the New York Central Railroad

A proposed report to that effect,
subject to formal Interstate Com

The railroad argued that "these

DRYS POSTPONE
. STATE DRIVE

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 15.-The
organized drys of Virginia have
no intention of waging a fight
upon the State alcoholic beverage
control system this year and, un-
less the politicians start wet-dry
agitation, there will be no liquor
issue in the State at large during
the summer general assembly cam
paign, it is confidently predicted
by those in position to know.
Prohibition will appear as an
issue in a few localities, but both
the drys and vets, whose forces
now are completely unorganized,
are expected to discourage every
candidate who tries to ride the
camel" it is said.
The drys expect to bring pro-
hibition back to Virginia within a
few years, but they have no pres
ent intention of using the first
wave of reaction against State
control, fearing that this initial
reaction will be a weak vehicle for
their cause.
A second major factor is the
favorable manner in which ma
tional dry leaders are looking
upon the Virginia control system.
The national leaders now hold
that Virginia relatively is in much
better shape than other wet States.
They want to work first in States
which have permitted the liquor
business to get away from them
and have returned to the saloon
system.
