FIVE LIVES A DAY LOST IN
 CHICAGO MOTOR ACCIDENTS.


 In Chicago motor accidents cog an average of five lives a day, some times more, sometimes less, but the yearly toll in recent years has been right around 1,800 fatalities. Yet. strange as it may seem, during the recent spell of severe winter weather when streets were covered with packed snow and ice and driving was decidely dangerous, not a life was lost for several days. Why? Simply because hazardous traves made drivers more careful. More than 90 per cent of car accidents are due to earelessness.

Increase Sought For Alaska Old
 Age Pensions

There has long been 9 feeling among the old timers Of Alaska that che present pension of S20 Der month is insufficient. There is now agitation among members of the va; ious Igioos to have tha present ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature ! amend the old law Now is the time for Alaskans to formulate their own old age pension. The following letter received by the local chapter of Pioneers is self-axplanatory.
 December 22, 1884. Dear Brothers:
 Enclosed you will find copy of a resolution adopted by the Eagle lodge of Ketchikan petitioning the Alaska Legislature to liberalize the Old Age Pension Laws af the Terri tory by making all worthy persons 1 who have resided in the Territory for i5 years eligible for a pension of at least $50.00 per month when they have reaclled the age of 60 years.
 We all know that the present av- craze of S20.O0 per month is not enough to enable aged persons to live even decently. The Eagles amendment would remove the maxi mum limit entirely, and place a minimum amount which can be paid. There are other features which will no doubt appeal to all Pioneers. The Pioneers Igloo of Ketchikan, Alaska, has endorsed the Eagles resolution unanimously. We trust that every Igot in Alaska will do likewise. The Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle has come out whole heart edly. in. favor of the movement. As you knonw the Old Age Pension movement is one of the cardinal principles of Eagledom, and that organization has fought for and helped to achieve success in the movement in 26 states of the Union. The ketchikan Aerie has strong campaign committee which has been authorized and instructed by the Aerie to push this liberalization of our pension laws through to success. We Pioneers ought to give them every assistance possible. We trust that your Igloo will endorse this resolution; that you will bring it to the attention of other organiza tions; that you will petition your representative in the next Legisla- ture; that you will secure the support of your newspaper. We do not need to suggest what you can do to help; but we do want tosuggest that you get solidly behind the movement. The Eagles lodge has a slogan, "Not for Charity, but in Justice" which they ought to govern our attitude and actions toward Old Age Pen sions.Let us Pioneers help them sec that this spirit dominates the im- pending session of the Legislature.
 Fraternally yours, B. Fitzwilliams

 Resolution.
 Be it resolved by Ketchikan Aerie,
 No. 162, of the Fraternal Order
 of Eagles:
 That the members of the Legisla- ture of Alaska be, and they are hereby, respectfully petitioned to amend and liberalize the provisions of Sections 17S1, 17S2, 1783, 17S4, 1785, and 17s6 of the Compiled laws of Alaska, 1883, providing for the payment of pensions to aged resi- dents of the Territory of Alaska, so that the same, when amended and l o

PARADE OPENS
NEW P STREET
SPAN TONIGHT
Bridge to Give Traffic
Direct Route to
0eOrQetOWn

For the first time in two years,
traffic will flow freely to and
from the Georgetown area tonight
with the opening of the P Street
bridge over Rock Creek.
A gala celebration, sponsored
by civic groups of the area, will
be staged at $50 p. m.
About seven months behind the
scheduled time of completion,
the bridge is expected to solve
many of the traffic ills of the
neighborhood.
During the two years of con.
Struction time, motorists were
forced to use either @ Street or
M Street to reach Georgetown.
The bridge, a simple concrete
span, is 1856 feet long and was
built at a cost of $250,0OO. No
name has been chosen. but civic
leaders would like to have it
called the Robert Fulton Bridge in
honor of the steamboat inventor
who carried on experiments in
Rock Greek.
Parade on Program
Next Monday the new crosstown
P Street bus line will begin operat-
ing over the bridge. The line will
carry passengers along P Street to
New Jersey Avenue and will circle
back along Fourth and Fifth
Streets to P Street for it's return
route. Georgetown residents have
protested against the route on the
ground that it does not give them
a direct line to the downtown Sec
ton.
Commissioners Melvin c, Hazen
and Dan I. Sultan will represent
the District government at the
ceremonies this evening.
Miss Louise Longstreet Morgan,
granddaughter of the Confederate
general. James Longstreet, and
Miss Patricia Delaney, daughter
OF DR.. and Mrs. A. j. Delaney, will
cut the ribbons at each side of the
span, marking the official open
ing. A parade over the bridge
will follow, the line of march be-
ing led by the First Battalion
Fifth Band of the Marine Corps
Reserves.

It's Better Manners.
Not Less LipStick

Women eating in Washington
hotels do not wipe their lipstick
on the table cloths.
In fact, few rouge stains are
found on napkins and towels.
1t is a question whether the
local femn1es use less lipstick, o.
better behavior.
A large hotel in New York city
has announced to the world that it
has had to take steps to Scontrol
it's lady guests" They directly re-
fer to the objectionable practice
of wiping rouged lips on towels,
napkins and tablecloths.
This particular New York hotel
further states:
'The fair sex should have
considered long ago that this
rouge is irremovable even after

Ken MURRAY
Says:

Judging from the crowds at
the watering places over the
weekend, the beach hotels
must have made a fortune with
the prices they charge. Now
it's easy to understand why so
many are called "The Break
erS."
So many married couples
have been registering that the
desk clerks no longer bother
asking questions. Il understand
several house detectives went
crazy trying to keep up with
the JOneSeS.
Some of the guests put on
bathing suits and lie on the
beach, while others prefer just
to sit on the piazza. After
all, it's just a question of be-
ing burned by the sun. or
roasted by the gOssips.
so REMEMBER:
When millions leave a cool
home to crowd in summer
hotels. 1T isn't the heat. it's
the stupidity.

LIVES
TO EAT FISH
"A pool of water, a few fish
and thou
Beside me in the Zoo"

"A pool of water, a few fish
and thou
Beside me in the Zoo"
With due apologies to Omar
Khayyam, that is the whole
story.
The life of the pelican at the
Zoo is just one fish after an
other, so to speak. If he wants
a meal, the pelican flaps his
wings to scare the fish into
shallow water and then scoops
them up with his beak.
AS for the feathered creature
gazing at the sky, you've proba-
bly, guessed it. He's a BOBBY"
For who but BOBBY would stand
in the hot sun gazing skyward?
The BOBBY was so named years
ago by British sailors who, land
ing on tropical isle, thought
them stupid because they showed
no fear. Never having met man
beforehand therefore having no
reason to fear him-the birds
made no attempt to flee.
They are members of the ganet
species. 1t includes the pelicans
and the penguins.

Accumulation Sic k
Time Authorized
To 40 Days

Restoration of 80 days an
nual leave for Government EN-.
ployes and the Tightening up Of the
sick leave provisions as carried in
two House bills will be given
consideration in the Senate as
soon as they are voted upon in
the House, it was promised today.
Both bills are scheduled t. be
taken up in the House this week
under special rules recently
voted by the House Rules Com
mittee giving the measures pre-
ferred status on the House cal
endar.
Ready For Action
Announcement that this plan of
action was adopted in the House
to assure a vote on the legislation
before Congress adopted today re-
ceived the approval of Senator
William ]. Bulow Cd. South Da-
kota, chairman of the Senate Civil
Service Committee. He said:
due to the press of national
business, it has been difficult to
obtain a quorum of the Civil
Service Committee to pass on
these matters. The action of
the House, however, will be
closely watched by my commit
tee. As soon as the House acts
on these measures and sends
them to the Senate / will call q
meeting of my committee to con-
slider the matters.
There will be plenty of time
to get a vote on the leave prOpO-
sitiOns in the Senate, as we are
going 10 be here a long time.
BROADER SCOPE
81 haven't given very much
consideration to the measures,
and have not made up my mind
as to their merit, but the Civil
Service Committee will consider
them fully as soon as they are
acted upon by the House."
The sick leave bill would cut the
provision for sick leave from 80 to
Is days, but would allow for accu-
Of that leave up to 120
days.
It also would allow an admins
tration officer to extend 80 days
leave with pay in a case where q
serious disability or ailment had
been suffered by Government
