Street Dangers

Washington wspap ers, I
note, are reporting the Substan-
TALLY reduced accident and
fatality record for the month of
August. This is most gratifying
news, not only to the Advisory
Committee on Traffic Safety but
to every citizen of Washington.
Iwant to take this opportunity
to congratulate and commend
the newspapers of Washington
for the editorial policy and the
reportorial skill that has kept
this modern problem so ably be-
fore the Washington public.
I express the unanimous
opinion Of the committee when
I say the credit for a very large
share Of the success achieved in
August in reducing our traffic
injuries and fatalities is due to
the Washington Herald-Times
and the other newspapers of this
city. You have been pioneers
and crusaders in this cause for
many years. and it should en-
courage you as well as us to see
some measure Of success arising
from a coordlnated attack.
I ask your support at this time
in one new phase of the cam.
paign. One hundred and one
thousand children will return to
school Monday. September 10.
This affords q psychological op-
portunity to stress again the
requi1 ement that all automobile
drivers exercise greater caution
and precaution in operating
vehicles on the streets Of Wash
ington.
I wish we could inculcate a
spirit Of courtesy and chivalry
in the drivers of today. Such
an attitude would go an immense
distance in solving certain
aspects of this problem.
I wish we could impress par
entS, guardians and teachers
with the stark fact that city
streets today are literally more
dangerous than railroad tracks
and that all Of us, but in par.
ticular little children, move in
the imminent presence Of danger
every time we step on them.
The Police Department of
Washington is doing an intelli-
gent and splendid job, and those
in our District government
charged with traffic manage
ment and highway safety are
bringing the best of modern
ideas and devices to bear on the
problem in Washington.

TURNING from nature to

are pouring out of schools and
colleges who haven't the slight

how to go about making them

From their very desks in the
classroom, they have learned to
rely on the planners and so, for
a tremendous number Of them,
there is nothing ahead but what
the planners will give them-as
long as the planners are running
things.
Butter, the key to prosperity,
wheat, cotton, fats, hides, brick,
stone, glass, cement-everything
necessary to civilization, a full
dinner pail and good all-round
living is all about us. In fact,
the weight Of these good things
almost burieS the millions who
cannot touch them unless the
planners place the necessities in
their hands. And the steady pro-
gresSion of the plans makes only
more unemployment, more desti-
tuition, more Embellishments of
everything that might bring
prosperity and contentment.
1T sounds brutal to say it, but
the only hope of salvation
seems to be a good alI-round
war in Europe, Given sense
enough to stay out of it our
selves, we can gather up such
a gorged prosperity from the
misery and the slaughter of
others that even further malad.

Wide Powers for President

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S reor-
ganization bill squeezed through
the senate by the close vote OF 40
to AZ, after a fierce fight. A mo-
ton to recommit, which would have
virtually killed the measure, was
defeated by a vote of 48 to 43.
Opponents of this bill are con-
WINGED that it paves the way for
dictatorship in the United States.
The measure was sent on to the
house, which already has passed
bills covering some of its features.
There is no certainty, however, that
the senate measure will ever be
brought to a vote in the house.
Chairman O'Connor of the rules
committee said it should be allowed
to slumber peacefully in some pig
eonhole.
The bill authorizes the President,
by executive order, to transfer, re-
group, coordinate, consolidate, seq
regate the whole or any part of or
abolish any of the 1876 bureaus, agen-
cies, and divisions of government.
Excepted from this section, how
ever, are the federal reserve board,
the corps of engineers of the Unit
ed States army and the independent,
quasi-judicial and regulatory estab-
ishments, such as the board of tax
appeals, the communications COM
mission, the federal trade COM

commission, and the national labor

TAILORED OUTFITS
HERALD OF SPRING
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The annual poisoning Of tailored
suits is surer sign Of spring than
the appearance of the first crocus.
Of course, there are always modifi-
cations, and this year they take the
form Of lower waistlines, higher
hemlines, and boxy shoulder details.
In keeping with this vogue, simple
shoes are once again highlighted.
Gone are the foot-revealing sandals
that predominated in last years
spring line.
Shoe trimming details, including
simple cut-outs, punchwork, and
perforations, are especially signifi-
cant because of their restraint. This
is also true of colors. The blue, red,
and copper-hued shoes now slated
for style importance are consider
ably toned down to conform with
the note of early spring reserve.

the attractive styling to the top
part insert pulled details in the
sleeves and the bodice as pictured.
AS to the little girl centered in
the group it is not a case of "all
dressed up and no place to go" for
her outfit, even to her new wrist
watch and the dainty white gloves
she carries, Enthusiastically Identifies
her as one who will join in the
style parade pridefully arrayed in
her Easter finery. The dress is
made of dainty fower-print silk
crepe in delicate lovely colors.
There is considerable shocking at
the waistline, giving the corselet eff
feet so popular in adult fashions,
with simulated yoke effect repeating
the shocking. The brim hat is Of
the same silk print.
Little daughter will look just as if
she stepped out of fashion plate if
on Easter she wears dress of plaid
weighted silk taffeta Every smart is
taffeta this season.. Make the skirt
with fan box pleats and grace the
neckline with pleated frill, as you
see to the left in the picture. Vel
vet ribbon is used for the bow at the
neck and for about the waist, which
gives it still another claim as a
fashion-first. When in doubt use vel
vet touches to finish off the dress or
the coat you may be making, for as
trimming feature velvet is very
important this season.
For children's dresses plain silk
crepe in the new charming pastel
colors ranks in high favor. These
pretty monotone crepes revel in 100
dies" of shirring, shocking, fagot-
ing and other handwork detail. The
colors available are enhancing.

the twenty-three charges originally
made by Senators Bridges and King

gressional inquiry. It also calls for
a Fishing expedition into the ac-
tivities of private utility companies
and their injunction suits against

Sen. H. Styles Bridges, the New
Hampshire Republican, in a radio
debate declared the administration
was trying to obscure the charges
of scandal within the IVA by fore
ing the inquiry to cover the private
utility angle. "The administration s
strategy has been to cover up IVA
dirt by phoney counter-attack," he
said = As
He was answered vigorously by
Sen. Lister B. Hill of Alabama.
Legality of President Roosevelt's
action in ousting Chairman Morgan
from the IVA board is still mat
ter that the courts probably will be
called on to settle. Mr.. Roosevelt
removed Morgan after receiving
from Acting Attorney General Jack
son an opinion that he possessed the
required authority. He reported the
action to congress and said he had
named Harcourt Morgan chairman.
Reasons for the removal of A. E.

were that he had made grave and

them at the White House Hearings,
