Less Speed or Less Driving.

During the past year there have been
e642 trafic accidents in the District,
resulting in 113 fatalities and 1889 per-
sonal injuries" This statement, by the
Chairman of the Board of Revocation
and Suspension of Operators Permits,
accompanies the order, issued yester-
day, establishing scale of license sus-
pensions and revocations which, If car
ried out thoroughly, will remove from
the streets of the Capital those who
drive cars dangerously. A study Of all
the cases shows that speed is the cause
Of approximately one out of four acci-
dents and contributing factor in nine
out of ten.
The new rule sets up sliding scale of
penalties, ranging from suspension for
from thirty days to six months or more,
and in some cases to the revocation of
licenses. To the end Of giving all motor
lists ample notice of the speed limits in
various situations and locations, warn
ing symbols will be installed at frequent
intervals on the travelled lines Of
trafic.
The act of Congress under which this
new rule is adopted grants ample author
ity. It provides: "The Commissioners
or their designated agents may. with or
without q prior hearing. revoke or sus-
pend an operators permit for any cause
which they or their agents may deem
suflcient."

Four-buckle CATERS are in great de-
mand.
AL those who walk come to them at
last, though years Of city living may
have given them the superior idea that
they are not necessary.
They are necessary.
Even the "he-men" who pride them
selves on going without hats the year
round finally come to the CATERS.
These give q safety tread to even the
least sure-footed, and keep out snow and
ice as nothing else can except high rub
Der boots.
The latter are necessary only when
rivers Of water run along sidewalks in
thawS. Since our SHOWS mostly stay
where they fall, we do not use boots
often.
For the benefit of city dwellers, who
may not be used to anything but rub
bers in snow, 1t may be necessary to
explain that there are two methods of
wearing the higher cloth affairs, espe-
cially those with the traditional four
buckles.
They may be worn simply as rubbers,
beneath the trousers leg, or with the
trousers folded and the CATERS buckled
up over them.
Wearing 'em outside the pants is the
real way to impress the city, once you
get into it.
Nothing will cause more side glances,
in the city, than a waggish suburbanite
with his trousers inside his cloth CATERS.
Then even the most careful Of city
dwellers feels an inclination to snicker.
The city man forgets that we still have
plenty of snow out our way. He does not
know that though his streets may be as
bare as a bald-headed mans pate, ours
are covered with nice white snow of the
very best vintage.
Hence the imitation of the sheriff Of
the county which many of us present all
Winter long. If we Succumb at last to
city customs, and wear 'em inside, we
do it to prevent shock to so many of our
city cousins.
An umbrella, on which to lean heavily
in case of need, is fine help in walking
over to the bus.
The sharp point may be prodded into
the snow as feet slide along the side
walks, thus helping keep one upright.
outside critics might recommend skis.
in this emergency, but these are rather
cumbersome to get aboard modern bus.
Buses were never made for skis. Some
may wonder what they were made for,
but certainly skis were never contem-
plated, their length causing them to
knock against the heads of old gentle
men as they are protruded down the
aisle.
Even motorists out our way tend to
leaves their cars in garages on snowy,
slippery days, and take to the public
transports. To all such persons, who
do not experience this roughing it as
daily part of their lives we recommend
a careful consideration of the equip
ment necessary, as outlined above.
Gloves, too, are good. because if one
does happen to fall down, despite all
precautions, they take up the wear on
the fingers. One final note to suburban
ties: If you fall fall gracefully. reposing
in Nature, rather than on your own
intelligence. Nature knows more about
snow and ice and slipping and sliding
than you do.

A Billion for Defense.

Section III of the expenditures section
Of the budget is entitled National De-
fense. 1t provides for total OF $751;
7sl, 1865, divided between 1857 ,S72, 400 for
the Navy Department and $369,919, ,566
for the War Department. The round
billion dollars represents an increase OF
some 5000, 900 900 over the previous fiscal
year. The difference is accounted for
mainly by accelerated shipbuilding under
the plan progressively to expand the
Navy to treaty limits, while higher
Army expenditure is associated with an
expanded air force, mechanization OF
equipment and housing.
Here .and there, no doubt, a record
peace-tine national defense budget will
be challenged as inconsistency at an
hour when administration and Congress
are cooperating to establish a neu-
trality policy designed to keep America
out of war. But it should not be over
looked that in his message references to
neutrality President Roosevelt empha-
sized that an integral feature of that
program is national defense adequate to
safeguard the United States against
"embroilment and attack" Hence his
recommendation of extraordinary ex-
penditure on the land, sea and air estab-
lishments 1t is no rhetorical flourish
to designate these annual disbursements
as premiums for upkeep of national life
insurance. That is exactly what they
are.
The call for nearly billion for de-
tense comedies with a period OF pro-
found and wholly incalculable unrest
through the world. Autocracy and i'm
perialism are rampant on an alarming
scale. North America is the one and
only continent that is at the moment
free of conflict, either existent or i'm
minent. In Africa war actually RACES.
In Europe nations have their being
atop powder barrel which may instant
ly explode in consequence of the Italo-
Ethiopian imbroglio and futile League
efforts to suppress it. In Asia Japan is
stiffening her demands for domination
of North China, while controversy with
the Soviet over Mongolia again threatens
to bring long-strained Russo-Japanese
relations to a critical head. On this side
of the Atlantic revelations of Com
munist Vaccinations in Brazil and
Uruguay fill all Of South America with
disquiet. Rio de Janeiro dispatches as
sert that Brazil is about to submit docu-
ments with grave bearing on relations
Of the Soviet and the United States"
AS II this topsy- -turvy international
situation were not sufficient to put
craftsmanship everywhere on its guard,
word comes from Toxic that Japan
would like to wind up the naval con-
ference, which has just reassembled at
London in an atmosphere of blank hope
lessness. There is no need for immedi-
ate American anxiety in the world pic
ture which the early days Of the new
year present, but there is every justif1ca-
ton for maintenance in full degree of
those measures against "embroilment
and attack" to which Mr.. Roosevelt
draws attention. His Army and Navy
budget recommendations have a pecu-
Iarly timely and admonitory Importance.
They merit the prompt approval of Con-
gress.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Fair Exchange.
Kind o. tired an hurried;
Kind O. lost his grip;
A feller sat and worried
An watched the minutes slip,
So he did.
Says, "I think I'm gettin'
A deal don't deserve"
He jes' KEEP on a-frettin'
Cause he'd simply lost his nerve,
Like a disappointed kid,
So he did.
Snowbird came a-hoppin'
On the window sill
Mongst the snowfiakes droppin'
From the sky so still,
So he did.
He didn't have no cover,
Nor no cozy place to eat.
But he didn't chirp an hover
In Encouragement complete.
He looked mighty bold instid,
So he did.
An the feller saw that sparrow
An he chucked him out some crumb
On the window ledge so narrow,
An thought he, That's how lucl
comes"
So he did.
"That sparrow sort O. trusted,
Though much worser of than me.
Just at present am busted,
But, the same as him, I'll see
Luck step out from where it's hid.
And he did.

Every Excuse.
'Taint no use o. kickin'
About your earthly grief,
But now an then, I tell you man,
To kick is a relief.
When the snow is meltin'
An freezin' both to once
To smile an say, "A pleasant day."
You'd have to be a Ounce. 4
When you think you're walkin'
An find that you are not,
But slidin' roun' an sittin' down
Regardless of the spot.
When all your foes is busy
An all your friends is sick
A-fightin' germs on desprate terms,
What kin you do but kick?
The fact that politician hasn't any
presidential bee of his own sometimes
makes 1t easier for him to stir up
hornets nest for the other fellows.

A Rhyme at Twilight

Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Water Sport.

Only a river gull, dipping, slipping;
Dipping to shadowed wave,
Slipping on sunlit wave,
Diving below the waves, rising dripping.
Only river gull, skimming, trimming;
Skimming the waterfall,
Rimming the river wall,
Soaring above the waves, plunging,
swimming.
Only a river gull, swinging, finging:
Swinging in rhythmic glide,
Flinging long pinions wide,
Westward and skyward; out Of sight
w;nging.

 GAMBLING TRAIL
National WTUC President AssaiIs Evil Effects of
 Present Liquor Laws

"A most serious social aspect of the re-legalized liquor trafic is the way in which it is blazing trail for gambling, commercialized vice and political corruption," declared Mrs Ida B. Wise Smith, of Evanston, Illinois, president, National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, on her arrival in Thomaston today to at- tend the state w. c. T. U. conven- tion.
 "The friends of the temperance cause, meeting the challenge of bev- craze alcohol, should not forget that legalizing the liquor traffic is open ing the door of every town, city and state in the nation to a host of evils that follow in its wake. >
 '"The ugly fact of commercialized vice is rapidly spreading its horrible trade into and through our cities and into every section of the coun- try, in the wake of the new saloon.
 Gambling has again found 8 foothold and has spread so rapidly that a prominent economist in one of the leading business magazines of the nation declares that it has al- ready grown into 8 more than six billion dollar menace, and points out that every cent of this was with drawn from the legitimate trade and from the purchase in most cases of the necessities of life.'

Attorney Lawrence Green, son of Mir. and Mrs. M. A. Green of 64 Holmes avenue, has been secured by Miss Fannie Brice, widely re- nowned comedienne, as counsel for her in the $14.250 suit Of Edgar AL len, Broadway theatrical agent which names her defendant.
 Miss Brice stepped out of her customary role recently and ex- pressed a rampant ambition to bounce her knuckles on the nose of the plaintiff.
 The belligerency flared up during an examination before trial of Al- leri'S suit in the supreme court of New York. The agent is trying to collect that amount, representing 10 per cent of Miss Brice's salary as a member of the Ziegfeld Fol- lies since 1883.
 With Miss Brice on the witness stand, Bernard Sander, Aliens counsel, asked: Isn't it a fact that Allen hired Dave Freedman to write some of the lines In that show for you?"
 Clenching her fists and glaring across the table at the agent, the colnedienne, now termed trage- dienne, retorted: T could punch him on the nose if he said that"
 This outburst was followed by an exchange of repartee in which the words bum, 1ouse' and crook were tossed hither and yon.
 The scene of the battle was moved to the chambers of Justice Will liam P. Collins, who calmed down the disputants and added: Go back and behave yourselves or I'll put you both in the coop"
 When the questioning was re- stunned, there was another outburst this time between the two law yers. Attorney Sander offered to take Attorney Lawrence Green out side and beat him with one hand tied behind his back.
 The examinatoin ended on a humorous note. Questioned again by Sander, Miss Brice said, T don't see how that man can ask the same question in so many differ
