n Die in State Traffic
As Fall Tr0UeL Increases.

Death worked overtime in September
and strewed "a victims over the streets
and highways of Minnesota.
This is the grisly report of the ac-
cident recording unit of the Minnesota
Highway department Just released for
publication
Based on gasoline consumption, how
ever, the death rate for that month
showed slight decrease over Septem-
Der year ago. Heavy traffic caused
by migrations from homes to schools
and from lake cottages to homes, in the
minds of the traffic officials, was re-
sponsible for the total.
The death rate for the month is also
lower than the three year average.
For the first nine months in Min
neSota 436 lives have been sacrificed
needlessly in traffic, according to the
Highway department records
For another month the courts of the
state dealt severely with unfit drivers
in an effort to place a halter on the
traffic death rate and 154 drivers had
their drivers licenses revoked in
IOtpIcIIIDGT.
During the same period, the drivers
license unit of the Minnesota Highway
department reported that 90 suspen-
sions had been ordered.
Intoxication accounted for 152 of the
license reVocationS. Only three of the
revocations were ordered against
women. Thirty-eight of the revoca-
| tons were in Hennepin county, 20 in
Ramsey, and "a in st. Louis.
Forty-five counties had no revocations.
The majority of the suspensions were
for reckless driving.
For the first nine months of the year
lib revocations have been ordered,
which bids fair to set a record for sus-
pensions for the year if the past trend
continues.
Suspended licenses were returned to
SO drivers whose period of penalty had
expired, the records disclosed.

How good driver are you? Can you
answer this question?
If pedestrian starts to cross the
street at an intersection on the "go''
signal, but the light flashes stop" be-
fore he reaches the other side, does he
continue to have the right of way over
vehicles until he gets across?
Many drivers make mistakes in this
situation. Do you? Is the response
bility here entirely with the pedestrian
or with the driver?
Here is the answer: 1t is the re-
sponsibility of the driver to see that, in
such a case, pedestrians are permitted
to get to the sidewalk.

by disclosure that a mass-production

court ruling issued prior to imposi-

commemorative attorney did not
appeal from the courts decision,
there seems to be no legal recourse
open to those who wish to contest the
ruling.
The court had held that because
there was no definite reference to
row houses in the 1880 zoning regula-
tions the zoning board was bound to
issue permits for this controverted
type of construction. and that the
applicant who had instituted man
damus proceedings was legally en-
titled to building permit. It was
this decision which brought an ava
lanche OF row-house applications to
the building inspectors office and
which led to amendment Of the zon-
ing regulations to prohibit row houses
anywhere in the county.
The new ordinance does not be-
come effective until it has been ad-

OFF THE HIGHWAY
BY the Right Rev James Freeman, d. ILL., D., D. C. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

Much Of our life Is spent on the open
highways. Paved streets and arterial
roads play large part in every life. We
are always going places. AS matter Of
fact, most of US would be unhappy were
we not. On these thoroughfares there
are familiar spots that constitute resting
or stopping places; our home. the house
Of 4 friend, the ONCE or shop where we
work, the places of amusement and recre-
alton, the lodge, the club, these are of
the highway and they play large part
in our daily program. Each has its place,
each makes its own contribution to what
We call Life. These Oh highway spots
have . conspicuous place In making up
what we call our philosophy Of life.
They take on an added Importance as
the years multiply.
An ancient people in their migrations
set apart what they called "cities Of
refuge" They were places Of asylum
designated to protect them when pertls
were at hand. In the economy OF our
modern life we certainly need such places
Of refuge. We cannot meet the pressures
Of life II we are too much on the high
ways Paved streets and hard roads have
their essential place. but too much Of
them spells fatigue.
I met . military onacer Of high rank
recently who told me that daily on his
way to his ONCE he paused for . few
moments at little Church, Just OF the
road, and there for . brief space he
experienced q period Of detachment from
the world in which he prepared himself
for the duties Of the busy day. There's
economy and refreshment In It," he said.
II leave the quiet Church with = clearer
mind and 4 finer understanding Of the
days objective"
His daily practice brought to mind q
passage in the Psalms where the writer
describes q situation that involved him
in seemingly insoluble problems. In this
trying situation, he says, speaking Of his
difficulty: ut was too hard for me until
I went in to the House Of God, then
understood l." Evidently he found in
the repose and quiet of the house Of
prayer, not alone peace and refreshment,
but the clarifying Of his vision and the
answer to his riddles.

The Relief Problem

The recent National Municipal
League Conference in Baltimore ap-
pears to have made a constructive
start toward discarding the fallacious
but widely held theory that the prob
lem of relief will disappear with the
return Of normal business conditions.
Making every allowance for the con-
tentions of those who believe that
New Deal experimentation has con-
tributed to unemployment and that
return to "normalcy" would put
many persons back to work, there
remains great deal Of factual sup.
port for the assumption that govern
ment will have to care for millions
Of jobless men and women for years
to come. II that be true, it is i'm
portant that the people as a whole
should understand just what relief
means to them-be they on the
giving or receiving end.
The keynote of the Baltimore con-
ference was struck by Carl P. Herbert,
director Of the st. Paul Bureau of
Municipal Research, who told the
delegates that relief will continue to
be the outstanding problem of this
country, no matter how much busi-
ness improves. Believing that the
difilculties confronting the next
generation will be just as acute as
ours, Mr.. Herbert said we are Giving
beyond our means" so far as relief
is concerned, and warned against
the danger Of mortgaging future
revenues to meet current needs.
THE cost Of relief" he said, has
been obscured from the average citi-
zen, partly because the cost has been
deferred In many instances through
borrowing and partly because Of the
mistaken impression that the cost
OF relief is not a burden upon the
people when the money comes from
Washington. The people Of this
country must come to a realization
that the cost Of relief is eventually
met out OF the earnings of all the
people who work and produce"
That is timely admonition which
merits the serious consideration of
those In public as well as private life.
Its significance should be apparent
to the relief clients as well as those
who now have jobs, for II and when
the unemployed find places in private
industry they, too, will have to
shoulder the burden of paying debts
now being incurred.
Mr.. Herbert, 1t should be noted.
did not advocate that the unem.
ployed be left to shift for themselves.
On the contrary, realizing that they
must be provided for largely with
public funds, he merely sought to
drive home the fact that relief is a
matter OF vital concern to every one.
Until that fact is fully appreciated
waste and inemciency will continue
to undermine any program to care
for the victims Of unemployment,

md hurry of life, and in the atmosphere
Of the house Of prayer, there was release
from the cares and burdens which the
world imposes. We make too little use
of the Church as place Of escape from
the eonfusions and dinaculties Of life.
We associate 1t too much with crowds and
public services and sermons. In like
manner we think OF prayer and q brief
period Of devotion In the home as unre-
lated to the common problems Of Life.
There would be less hurry on the high
way and less confusion In home and oflice
II we would pause for q few moments to
take a deep look into reality before We
rush into the cares and distractions of
the world. It was said Of Field Marshal
Foch that regularly before the stern
work Of the day he sought some quiet
place to see clearly what his course was
to be.
The speed Of life, yes, and It's intensity,
Is such that. unless We can get into 1t

and presently found myself in an atmos-
phere that was conducive to both refiec-
ton and peace. The service was a brief
but deeply reyerent one and when once
again was In my car and out on the
highway I was seeing a new world and
there was q new kind Of satisfaction and
serenity that made the very sunshine and

Chest Deficit

The Executive Committee OF the
Community Chest has decided, wisely
1t would seem, not to attempt fur
ther formal campaign effort this year.
Careful study of contributions re-
ceived indicates that many subscrib-
ers already have pledged as much,
perhaps in certain cases even more
than they we'll can afford. The larger
gifts have been notably generous and,
In the view of the Executive Commit
tee, the same may be said for offerings
from people who themselves are suf-
fering from the prolonged depres-
sion and economic dislocation result
ing therefrom.
Yet two facts remain to be con-
sidered. Firstly, it must be conceded
that the Chest campaign has failed
by quarter million dollars. Sec
ondly, this failure is directly trace
able to the inadequacy of contribu-
tions from persons classified in the
middle bracket-men and women
with incomes of between five and
twenty thousand dollars. These peo-
pie are neither rich nor poor. It is
accurate to describe them as COM
fortably circumstanced" Just why
they have neglected to respond to the
appeal which has prompted their
neighbors to be charitable may be
explained by reference to a misun-
derstanding Of the Chests character
and functions. Apparently, 1t has
not been made clear to them that
the Chest is cooperative associa-
ton of flfty-seven different agencies.
They have given or preferred not to
give as though only a single cause
were involved. In truth, the whole
problem OF volunteer relief for hu-
man needs In the District Of Colum-
bia is represented In the Chest; and
this is reality-a poignant reality
which cannot be urged too often nor
too strongly. The Star stresses it
now in the earnest hope that 1t may
stir the hearts Of such Of its readers
as have passed by on the other side"
subscribing nothing at all to the
Chest or less than they actually can
spare.
Think OF the deficit problem in
terms Of what the cooperating
agencies could do with the money, il
it were available. With their mini
mum budget allotments Forthcoming,
they could maintain their work un-
impaired, granting help to thousands.
Lacking the means to do their full
duty, they must trim here and trim
there, retrench at one point and then
at another all through the year, turn
hundreds Of applicants away empty
handed.
Surely, there are at least few per-
sons to whom these words will have
meaning. 1t is not too late to con-
tribute. Please assist. The reputa-
ton Of Washington as a civilized
community is at stake. Repeated
failures In Chest campaigns would
signify a gradual decline in civic
consciousness, fellowship and neigh
borliness in the Nations Capital

Same old plots and situations,
Same old crowd dead broke-it's funny,
Same old people making money!
