 In between calls, Capt Leroy was dispatching policemen to the scene and in five minutes the patrol wagon and two mos tor patrol cars were on their way.

He was shOvelling coal, not to any place in particular, but just shOvelling it. Between strokes of the shovel he was cutting up n piece of canvas. He had entered the Fitzpatrick home unannOunced and pro- ceed calmly to the cellar, where he began his shOvelling activity.
 Tho man, a 35-year-Old North End resident, was taken to headquarters and held for observation. Police made sure that there was no shovel in his jail ceii.

Contrasts.

Psychologists, it seems, are capable
of explaining practically every aspect
of human character. But even they
must be puzzled to understand the
occasional contradictions which may
be observed in the conduct of men
and women otherwise perfectly nor
NAL and commonplace.
For example, there was the case Of
Maj. x. He customarily was the
personification of dignity and dis
cipline. The Regular Army had been
his school. He carried himself with
a poker-like rigidity, and his friends
would have been shocked had they
ever caught him in the act Of bend
ing. The Washington Monument was
no more proudly erect than he. And
yet few days ago he deliberately
violated the whole tradition of his
career and was guilty Of a thing his
worst enemy could not have imagined
he would stoop to consider. He act
ually went shedding on the Shoreham
hillside!
TIE case of Miss Y, also, might be
cited. She was a stenographer in
the Office of a public institution,
moving through the routine of her
employment as quietly and unob-
tr,lsively as q mouse. But the man

such circumstances only through the
most careful driving. This is par
ticularly true at such times as the
present, when the streets are wholly
or partly covered with snow and ice.
The drivers must be alert to avert
collisions, and it is to the credit OF
the great majority of them that they
succeed.
An educational campaign will be
effective only so far as 1t brings
people to a realization Of the fact
that the rules are made for the
protection of both drivers and pedes-
trians. And every driver is at times
a pedestrian, though every pedestrian
is not driver. The driver must at
all times bear in mind the fact that
he has the power of injury. whereas
the pedestrian is helpless.
If the light system does not work
to afford a maximum OF safe move
ment for cars. with proper intervals
for pedestrian passing, it should be
corrected. There are places in the
city where such changes should be
made. Above all is the need Of an
addition to the signal system which
will afford the pedestrian the fullest
possible information of the condi-
tions, lights that he can see ahead
of him, without twisting and turning
in mid-street, to guide him in his
movements.
City-wide instruction and admoni-
ton will serve well to keep before all
who use the streets the need of care
on both sides. Changes in the rules
may be needed. A study of the case
should develop the possibilities OF
such amendments. Certainly there is
enough common sense in Washington
to furnish the basis of a safe system
of regulation and a universal under
standing of the need of care on both
sides of the traffic equation.

whose dictation she was assigned to

Such stories are numerous. Indeed,
they are the stock in trade Of the
press and of the writers of novels and
plays. They are, In effect. human

TO redeem the race from standardiza-

light.
But a balance between the usual
and the unusual must be maintained

dictions, would result in social chaos
The world really Is a sober sort OF
place and there is important work to
be done. Maj. x and Miss Y are en-
titled to only few departures from
the norm. It would be exceedingly
disturbing If they went shedding OF
slapping too often.
