WHAT'S THE HURRY?

Barney Oldfield a great auto racer in his day and he learned great deal about speed Some time ago when asked what the single cause of automobile accidents he immediately said speed. track, he explained, is the place to drive motor vehicles at terrific clips not the public highway. It sound advice from Who learned from experience on track and highway.
 The mounting list of traffic fatalities indi- cates that his words of wisdom could be put to good use by a great many drivers. Daily down in the States, and especially on week ends lives are snuffed out by the in auto accidents, and here where have but limited miles to travel death rides the highway.
 There emergencies to be when it is make time but the average .motorist has reason able excuse for travelling at rate of speed which not only endangers his life but makes the highways hazardous for others Just why drivers feel called upon to make 50 and 60 miles houi less than 40 miles of road is of the great unsolved mysteries There may be feeble aibi for speeding up traffic in the States where thousands of cars jam the roads, but here where there is end to the road, and the eventual destination is always home" excessive speed is inexcusabe.
 by superofficious traffic cops should be appre- ciatcd, and all drivers by careful and sane driving can prevent accidents, and thereby make our high ways safe, and eliminate the possibility of the bother and expense of increased policing whicf fs~-ure~-to~ foiiew-if- the drivers ades not aceep the responsibility of careful driving themselves.

Costly Principles.
(Kansas City Times.)

The latest compilation by the Treasury Depart ment discloSes total foreign indebtedness to the United States of $13438 703 671.61 It is well to have the exact figure to the pennies; but since practically all of that debt is in default it would be still better to some evidence of a practical plan by which might collect at least part of it.
 The persistent refusal of Congress to permit any compromise settlements with debtors has left us with our sense of outraged honesty intact, but with pockets virtually empty.
 Tie question is whether 1872 billion dollars on paper plus the rigid maintenance of rights, is worth more than concessions matters of principle, plus undetermined but substantial tribution to the American treasury in gold goods.

Far from there being an in

The papers repudiate the re-
port that a Soviet cavalry unit
first crossed the border line into
Manchukuo. Pravda said:
Foreign Minister KOki Hi

contained in the Soviet protest,

Ruling Of Board Of

Congressional investigation Of
Communistic activities in Wash.

it was revealed today.
Decrease in membership in the
cadet corps at Mckinley High
School from $50 in 1882 to 296 in
1885 is the basis of the investiga.
ton. The ultimate goal is to com.
pei the Board of Education to re.
scind its decision permitting the
teaching of Communism in the
District.
Representative Jennings Ran.
dolph CD of West Virginia, chair.
man of the House District sub,
committee that investigated crime
in Washington during the last
session Of Congress, is the spear.
head Of this investigation.

SNOW MOVING
RULE SOUGHT

Corporation Counsel E, Barrett
Prettyman was called on today
to determine whether the District
is empowered to force the Capital
Transit Company and the Wash
ington Rapid Transit Company to
contribute toward the expense Of
snow removal from streets over
which buses of the companies are
routed.
In the past, the street car COM
pany cleaned its own rights of
way with snow plows and con-
tributed funds for removal Of
snow at intersections where there
were street car tracks. The Rapid
Transit Company also used snow
plows in cleaning certain streets
on which its busSeS operate.
The District Commissioners, who
referred the question to Counsel
Prettyman, particularly have in
mind Connecticut Avenue North
west and Sixteenth Street North
west. Street car service has been
abandoned on Connecticut Avenue
and busSes substituted, while Six
teenth Street is the main route
of the Washington Rapid Transit
Company.
Suggestion that the companies
contribute to the snow removal
funds originated with the Public
Utilities Commission, which also
urged the Commissioner to adopt
regulations banning parking on
streets on which street cars and
buses run during the snow season.
The Public Utilities Commission
suggested it might be advisable
to extend the parking ban to
other streets.

District Supreme Court Mrs. Doro-

gomery Ave, Bethesda, Md,
charges her husband, Charles R.
Sangster, failed to pay her $40
in alimony after she gave him a
receipt for that sum.

tation of her husband, met him

There, the petition alleges, nego-
tiations were made for payment
of the $40 installments Mr.. Sang
ster was ordered by the court to
pay his wife.
Mr.. Sangster placed his pocket
book upon a table and requested
the plaintiff to write a receipt LOT
$40. THE plaintiff, believing the
defendant to be acting in good
faith, did write the receipt as re-
quested," the petition sets forth.
Then, according to the petition,
Mr.. sangster picked up the receipt
and his pocketbook, but failed to
give the plaintiff the sum of $40"
Il have the receipt, this is my
trick, this will be the last until
the twenty-first when the next
payment is due. I can fool
you with this trick but once,
but I will think of something by
the next time to beat you out Of

Get Evidence

acting as inspectors for the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board
virtually have instructions to trap
liquor dealers in cases where an
intoxicated person is observed
entering liquor dispensing estab-
liShment.
This was revealed today in a
hearing before the ABC by Will
liam G. Fawcett, member Of the
vice squad. The policeman was
testifying against Ludwig Muel-
Ter, proprietor of a restaurant at

under arrest on a drunk charge
after he had purchased a glass
Of beer in the restaurant.
Told to Wait"
CroSs-examined by Albert A.
Stern, defense attorney, Fawcett
was asked why, as a member
of the police force, he had not
arrested the man on the street

That's not our business.
We've been told to let them alone
until they try to buy beer or
liquor before taking action"
Chairman George w. Offutt,
of the A. B. c., when asked
concerning the procedure, said:
Those are the instructions the
policemen have. It is the only

person"
