Equal Traffic Enforcement,

In determined effort to cut down the
loss of life and limb resulting from traf'ic
accidents. the District authorities have
been making valiant effort to compel
motorists on the District highways to
abide by the safety laws. Additional
police have been assigned to trafhc duty
and they are making many arrests. The
courts have been giving their support to
the police in their drive, and every law
abiding citizen should aid. Even the
radio is being used in court to acouaint
the listening public with trafic dangers
Every known means is applied to compel
compliance with and respect for the
trafic law and regulations.
This is as it should be. Every trafIic
violator should be impressed with the
fact that any slip from full compliance
is to meet with certain punishment upon
detection and that there are no favorites.
But 1t Is dinicult to get wholehearted
support when the public 10 apprised Of

ton are given to . member Of Congress

Out of the Dark.

Out Of the dark Of secret hearings on
Capitol Hill and conferences in the Park
and Planning Commission ONCE, the Dis
trict recreation problem comes into
the light of open discussion in the series
of conferences being held by the Board
of Education.
Other groups, 1t is true, have had the
issue discussed in open meetings by sup
porters Of the various sides to the ques-
tion, but never before have the ofiicials
empowered to do something about the
thoroughly confused situation sat down
in open round table discussion to try
to understand conflicting points of view
and iron out difficulties.
The chief merit in the King bill for
unif1catlon Of the agencies under Z
recreation board is not its proposed solu-
ton OF the problem so much as the
opportunity 1t gives for free and open
hearings on the subject of recreation.
The various agencies involved deserve
praise. however. for their willingness to
get together on their own In these in.
formal and international sessions.
Prejudice, long associated with District
recreation, is the result of knowing too
much or too little about something. Too
often 1t is the latter. The meetings
should certainly serve to open the eyes
Of many to numerous sand hitherto un-
suspected aspects Of the problem with
which they are dealing.

THIS AND THAT
~ CHARLES Z. TRAcEHELL.

hAps 1t u - good 4 weather forecaster
~ the next.
It II only after the return Of these
birds that We realize Just how fine their
songs are, how great = role they play in
the drama Of spring.
Those who have learned to admire the
birds always listen carefully each day
for new songs ut this time of year,
Those which We hear the year around
are few In number compared with those
OF the migrating birds, now returning
to US. And even the songs Of the birds
which stay with Us are changed vastly
under the influence Of the season.
Friends OF the songsters listen always
for these variations.
The moment q new song II hunR into
the air, It 10 heard.
: This 10 one Of the happiest features Of
spring, but 1t IL known mostly to those
who honestly become interested in the
birds. This interest need not be scien-
tho, IN any sense. but 1t must and will
be more than q perfunctory admiration.
4 -
Listening for the new songs will reveal
an unexpected source Of natural interest
to many.
City life tends to become all Of piece.
Love Of nature takes one out of ones
self, puts the interest on sights and
sounds overlooked by many.
To miss the morning song revels Of
the birds In springtime Is to miss one Of
natures greatest treats. And the only
way not to miss 1t is to get up early.
Hence the bird lover gets up early.
=
dawn.
That part Of the chorus he may listen
to comfortably from his bed If the out
burst puts him to sleep, 10 much the
better.
This chorus let 1t be understood, has
not begun As yet.
The robin songs of the past few morn
ings have been the closest approach to it.
Soon the chorus will begin in earnest.
Until then, the bird friend must be con-
tent with listening at q somewhat later
hour but still before real light.
Enjoyment Of these songs can only
come to the person who is full awake
and listening for them.
That is why the old maxim, "early to
bed and early to rise" has some force
In the world even to this day.
Those who like their gardens, and its
denizens. including the songsters, will
be willing to get up early to greet them.
\
The corollary Of course. is easy:
To go to bed with the birds" too. or
at least earlier than the majority of
folk
Admiration Of the feathered creatures
helps. II We admire q branch of life,
and think its members pretty wise, in
their way, we in turn will admire some
Of their habits.
Going to sleep at dark, and getting up
with light
These are standard bird habits over
the centuries. The songsters see no
reason for changing them. The only
night club they know is the ancient in
stitution Of sleep.
Humanity in all its mad pride of
intellectuality.' still may learn lessons
from the so-called brute creation.

complaint Of 4 motorist, following an
accident. Two Of the assistants heard
both sides and then they ruled that the
defendants admission that he drove
away from the scene of accident with
out leaving his name justified charge.
The case was then sent to the court.
But after several continuances, and,
perhaps, Is the result of some pressure,
the corporation counsel has taken 4
personal hand In the situation and
secured another continuance until next
month, explaining that he wanted to
study the record.
Whether the Congressman is guilty or
not is . matter for the Judge presiding
in the Trafflc Court to determine. The
Commissioners recently announced that
there was to be no special privilege in
enforcing the trafiic laws. They could
give no better support to the police than
to insist that all cases be sent to trial
Immediately. regardless of ofiicial status.

Municipal Parking Lots.

Municipal operation Of parking lots
as proposed by Representative Dirksen
furnishes the basis for becoming a costly
project to the taxpayers of the city,
particularly If the rate is fixed at ten
cents day car as suggested by the
author OF the suggestion.
Probably the most serious result Of the
proposal If 1t were carried out would be
the withdrawal Of the land from taxation
If the District acquired 1t for the pur-
pose. Already hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of taxable land has been
withdrawn in providing space for the
Federal Governments building prof.
ects. This alone has thrown heavier
burdens on the taxpayers, as Congress
has not been disposed to make up this
deficiency by increasing the United
States share of the Districts expenses.
Furthermore. the taxable base has
been reduced by the number of parking
lots already established In the city. This
has resulted from the fact that taxable
improvements have been torn down to
clear the way for the use of the property
for parking purposes. OF course, there
Is nothing that can be done about this,
as a property owner is free to use his
land for the purpose that will bring him
the most income.
Without the payment of taxes. it is
obvious that the municipality could run
the parking lots for less than Is now
charged by the private operators But
even at that it is open to serious CUES
ton whether they could be oper-
ated for ten cents a day per car and
balance books. The possibility is even
greater that the taxpayer would have
to foot some of the cost; In Other words
any deficit would have to come out of
the tax income. Attendants would be
needed to place the cars and get them
out in order to get the most use out of
the space. Otherwise. with parking in
we'll defined lanes where each person
could get his car out, many times more
space than is now used by parking lot
operators would be needed and con-
siderably more ground would have to be
acquired to accommodate even a majority
of the cars which require parking space
in the congested area during the ordinary
hours of business each day.
While the parking Of cars imposes a
serious problem upon the city trafic
oficials, its solution should not include
the necessity Of making the taxpayer
foot the bill for caring for them. II
the matter is given any serious consid-
Grafton, the prices fixed should Re large
enough to remunerate the District for

Real spring began Monday morning,
~ far ~ one garden was concerned, for
then the robins broke forth in earnest
with their songs for the first time.
There Is no bird song quite like that
Of the red breast. Other songs are
sweeter, more complete, more artistic,
what one will, but none II quite 20 CHEEKY
as that Of the robin.
I: bubbles.
And when its strains come before light
there Is something to 1t that 10 heart
warming.
The real chorus of the dawn has yet
to come.
In 1t, too. the robins will play . large
part.
Now that they are 70 prominent, 1t IL
easier to see Just what . part they do
play in the salute to light which will be
such part of the suburban scene during
April and May.
Then. beginning about 4:30 an. birds
Of many species. awakening in the trees.
will raise their heads and "cut loose"
with the original orchestration.
This chorus has been going on for
centuries, thousands upon thousands Of
years, but 1t Is as fresh as tomorrow,
especially to those who have moved to
the suburbs or country from the city.
In town. birds sing. too, of course
The great chorus, however, IL missing
there.
In the suburbs the song at dawn be-
comes positively . racket, At least In the
ears OF the newcomer.
Many person. awakened by the noise,
VOWS that he will never be able to put
up with 1t.
Was ever din SO terrific.
Those small fools in the branches
why do they have to make 10 much
noise?
How can \ fellow sleep?
In time the birds seem less noisy, more
musical.
Nothing has changed, of course, ex-
cept the listener.
AS one becomes interested, q sleeper Is
bound to cease resenting the chorus of
the birds. and even to wake early to
hear it.
Really, there IL nothing else like it on
earth.
1t is the original music.
Until it begins in full force, however,
the robins are doing their best to give
US happy forecast Of 1t.
Loud. CHEEKY, bright and forceful, the
song OF the robin has not been given
the measure Of praise 1t deserves.
Lacking the peculiar beauty of the
song OF the bluebird, the song of the
robin readbreast nevertheless is most
pleasant to the ear.
There are, as q matter of fact, several
songs each one we'll defined.
The early morning roundelay is dif-
ferent from the afternoon and evening
call. and that from the peculiar song
known among bird lovers As calling for
rain"
On any cloudy day the robins NAV be
heard sending forth this rain song, Per
