smashed to pieces For two years was forced to
lie in a cast.
Feeling as strongly as have about automobile
accidents ever since. have given much thought
to what should be done to make traffic safer.
In the first place there should be stricter rules
about getting a drivers license I think every
single automobile driver should be compelled to
undergo test and inspection as strict as that
given air pilots. I'm sure any pilot will tell you
that he has to call on his perfect faculties of
muscular and mental coordination and eyesight
more often when driving in fast traffic than he
does in the air.
Would ImpOund Autos
know this would cost lot of money and
lot of people would lose their right to drive.
But don't you think it would be worth it? After
all, one defective, incompetent driver is deadly
menace to every car he meets on the road.
Then, think we should deal more severely
with drunken drivers. Every drunken driver, or
one who has been drinking heavily, should
be forced to forfeit his permit for at least year
and when say it should be taken away I
mean TAKEN AWAY! And, above all, his car
should be kept locked up for year.
We worry about war, as we should. We worry
about birth control and thousand other things,
as we should. But now, having gone through
quarter Of century of watchful waiting for the
millions of drivers in this country to come to
their senses without any results, think it is
time to stop merely worrying over the increasing
traffic death toll.
Why don't we really begin to put on the pres
sure, regardless of rank, political position or
wealth? Then we might get somewhere

When police asked Sharretts to-
day why he didn't come to head
quarters to tell them about last

planned he didn't have a stitch to
wear. He added:
How could I? The fellow who
loaned me his pants last night
had to put them on to go to

EXTRA SESSION
TO DELAY D. c.
SUPPLY BILL
Opening on Nov. Is
Puts Off Hearing

While the special session Of
Congress called for November Is
is likely to expedite consideration
of general legislation, it was In
dictated today that the District
appropriation bill for the coming
fiscal year will be delayed by
reason of the special call.
Representative Ross Collins, Of
Mississippi, chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House
Appropriations Committee. ex-
pected to start hearings on the
local supply bill on November Is,
the date selected by President
Roosevelt for converting Of the
extra session.
PROGRAM UPSET
The call, however, conflicts with
this program and, instead of hav.
ing the District bill ready for
consideration by the time Con-
gress would meet in regular ses-
sion in January, it is now ex-
pected that the measure will be
delayed and will take it's regular
course with other fund bills after
the regular session meets in
January.
This delay will leave the Dis
trict once more in the precarious
situation which has confronted it
in recent years.
It means, according to Capitol
observers, that appropriation funds
and tax proposals will be consid.
cred in the light Of a shortening
session of Congress instead Of on
their merits.
HOPED TO AVOID JAM
Mr.. Collins had hoped to avoid
this contingency by getting con.
sideration of the local bill under.
way at an early date.
With a special session due to
convene November IS, however, his
plans for early hearings on the ap-
preparation bill have been shot to
pieces. He now will have to post
pone hearings for at least two
weeks, which will mean that con-
sideration of the bill will be late.
Mr.. Collins at present is in
Mississippi, but his office is pre-
pairing to send out notices counter
acting his orders for early hear.

Hughes Tells Story on Himself
Chief Justice Hughes, whose imposing beard
has almost been his trademark, told this story
on himself the other day. He said he was argu.
ing the rival claims Of two safety razor firms
before the Supreme Court. It was at the time
when Mr.. Hughes, having resigned from the
Court to run for the Presidency, had not yet been
reappointed Lawyer Hughes admits that he
was particularly impressive in his orations,
but he was surprised when one of the Justices
suddenly leaned over the railing and said to him:
"a very fine argument, sir, but which brand of
razor do you use."

Says Boake Carter

placed on the matter of access to raw.material
supplies, Mr.. Roosevelt not only does virtually
nothing to promote a PanAmerican league of ma
tons and a greater, richer and more prosperous
economy for North and South America, but also
works himself into righteous lather about the
duty of the United States to rescue Britain's
empire when threatened in the Orient.
This continent is in the United States sphere
of influence. AS we are the strongest and most
powerful nation on this continent, the fate and
fortunes of South America become our business
and our concern.

America "Meddling" in Orient

The fate and fortunes of China are matter for
Russia and Japan-the strongest two nations in
the oriental sphere of influence-and not of con-
Germ to the United States. The fate and fortunes
of Europe are matter for France, Germany, Eng
gland and Italy to settle between themselves
and not the United States.
In other words, there are now in the world
three distinct spheres of influence. BY strange
twist of Providence, the United States stands at
the head of the richest of the three spheres-yet
the United States today is fatty ignoring its own
sphere and attempting to NEEDLE in another
sphere 1000 miles away and risking war.

There were sporadic efforts to rally
the list, but losses ranged from / to

Extension of yesterdays slump was

Cloudier trade news, especially from

Accused Driver
 Appears As Own
 Trial Counsel.
Presents, Questions Own Witnesses - Judgment
 Held Until Saturday

Acting as his own counsel in city court today, Morris Relyea, 34, of TIT Chestnut avenue, denied that he had passed a red light at South Main and Washington streets Sunday night, as charged by the state, Bringing two wit- llesseg t6 the stand, Relyea questioned them at length as to the color of the light when his car passed through the intersection.
 After the testimony had been completed, Judge Edward Mascola deferred judgment to Saturday.
 Relyea was arrested by Motor Patrollnan John Deeley, who tes- tified yesterday that Relyea had driven past the red light, though the light had turned red when his car was 45 feet frem the intersee- tion. He declared that Relyea failed to stop, and that he captured him only after chase of several blocks. The policeman's testimony was supported by Burton Walker, of Sylvan avenue, who said that he was standing on the corner at the time and saw the car pass the red light.
 Though the policeman testified that the street was completely free of traffic at the time, one of Rel yeas witnesses, Edward Chapel, of 249 Willow street, testified that his car was directly in back of Relyeas. Relyea's automobile, he said, was partly across the intersection when the light changed. Similar testi- ineny was given by Relyea's wife. Relyea also told the same story on the stand.
 On questioning, Prosecutor Nit chell Meyers, led Chapel to admit that he had spent the day with Rel yea at the shore. The prosecutor asked Relyea whoy he had not men toned his witnesses when he was arraigned yesterday. At that time Relyea asked for 8 continuance, say ing that he had to cheek a list or marker numbers of cars near the scene.

A. B. co. TO ERECT
 OFFICE ADDITION
No Opposition to Discon= tinuance of Building
 Line on Grand St.

Discontinuance of the building line on the American Brass com pany's property at the corner of State and Grand streets met no ep- position last night when 8 public hearing was held before the board of works. As result the board recommended that the line be done away with and sent a communica- ton to this effect to the board of aldermen. The American Brass company plans to increase the size of it's present office building by erecting an addition on the vacant lot at the corner of State and Grand streets.
 Superintendent of Streets and Water Thomas J. Fleming reported that water billings for the month amounted to $36,650.77. This is a substantial increase over the figure for the corresponding period a year ago.
 The city engineers office reported that the installation of a sewer in a section of Wilson street would cost 5,40O. The board turned down the proposal, taking the stand that this is too much to spend to service only five houses and nine building lots. Authority was asked of the alder men to hold hearing on a sewer in Wilkenda avenue.
 The engineering department re- ported that storm sewers for Della ware avenue are included in the WPA program. Commissioner AL bert Loeffler had asked the status of the sewers. The board, on mo- tion from Commissioner c. Arthur DuBois, voted to ask the finance board if there are funds to finance the construction of sidewalks on Roseland avenue.
