No Sign Of Cigarette Ashes.
On this last occasion I had relaxed
comfortably in the depths of immacu-
late blue broadcloth cushions, my feet
resting gratefully on the soft-piled tan
rug. A scrupulously emptied and OBJ
viously polished ash tray suggested
methodical supervision on the part of
the chauffeur-owner. It may smack
OF Baron Won Munschausen, but I
recalled that had seen neither cigar
cite nor the ashes therefrom in a
foreign commercial vehicle from June
until September. forthwith ventured
a hope that the day I stepped from
my train in the Nations Capital I
should find just such another waiting,
its very spotlessness vocal, in rebuking
me for my invidious comparisons!
Perhaps, after all, tidiness is infectious,
and the impressive responsibility of
the London and Berlin taxis inspire
reciprocal treatment from their occu-
pants.
Now. on the eve Of departure and
looking back on European traffic. I
am persuaded that Europe's trans

sions, reflects racial backgrounds and
that in no country is the national
character more firmly impressed upon
Its trafhc than in Great Britain.

"The 'safety-first' code for dog

"O Train your dog to come to heel

First accustom him to wearing 4 COL

gradually become used to it. Then
take him out into some quiet road on

Strong Social Atmosphere.
The day I shocked the footman by
pausing on the threshold of the marble
atrium long enough to catch a glimpse
OF the green grass court dotted with
gayely colored umbrellas, I scented
the strongly social atmosphere OF an
association whose members enjoy their
indoor sports in town and motor to the
branch automobile country club at
Woo6cote Park, EPSON, for their
squash, tennis and golf. incidentally,
it may be Of some local interest to
know that the Woodcote Park branch
Of the R. A. c. was the patrimony Of
Charles Calvert, Lord Baltimore, in
whose family 1t remained for 100 years,
until the seventh Lord Baltimore fled
from England to the United States.
Today 1t consists Of $50 acres OF park
land, adjoining Lord Roseberry's IA
nous estate. the Durdans, and
stretches to EPSON Downs and the
race course.
That the Royal Automobile Club
capitalizes on its prestige to direct and
aid the development Of traffic control
In England became presently apparent,
as mounting to the somewhat less
rarified atmosphere of the Office floor,
I\presented the letter OF introduction
to Comdr. Armstrong with which the
American Automobile Association had
kindly provided me. From Comdr.
Armstrong and his assistant, Mr.. Sam
uelson. I presently learned of a far
reaching policy which embraces their
actual giving Of the examinations to
the instructors in London's many driv-
ing schools. The r. A. G. believes if
you teach the youths of the country

pIOplty.
Support Underground Parking.
Among its other valuable detectives
are the construction Of underground
parking areas, which they wisely point
out may serve as bombproof refugees;
they indorse an annual expenditure
by the Government Of $500, 900
pounds for roads and bridges and q
well-considered program for city PLAN
ming, IN which they urge warmly COM
mercial blocks. stores, post offices and
nre departments with inside courts
which permit all loading and unload
ing from within, thus relieving the
parking problem tremendously.
Furthermore, they operate 500 emer-
gency phones and boxes of flrst-aid
supplies on all public. highways out
OF London, not to mention q tidy little
service which is called "a get-you-
home service" and which might. I'M
der certain circumstances, have its
points.
To return, however, to our first
premise, that the traffic regulations
in the British Isles are typically Brit
ish, one sees English logic asserting
itself in the recent pronouncement Of
the British minister of transport rela-
tive to cyclists, which reads: 1.-THE
pedal cyclists must be regarded as a
unit OF traffic and, therefore, as l1av-
ing a recognizable traffic behavior,
which is practicable.
While our own country offers no
cycling problems of similar propor-
lions, the English recognition of
bicyclists as a practicable element of
traffic Is arrestingly attractive-almost
novel-especially to those of us who
drive and never can predict.
Safety, Too, for Dogs.
I have, however reserved for the
final place of honor a safety code
which is tarred and feathered with
something as distinctively British as
the Magma Charta itself. It springs
from the British love of dogs and goes
straight to the heart of every lover of
dog, the universe over. Before me,

WRECK WEATHER COMING
Nv BRUCE CATION

Summer approaches, the pulse OF nature
quickens, life begins, and shortly the coun-
try's motorists will start slowing up one
anothers pulses and ending their lives.
Traffic cops know that good weather
breeds bad accidents The safest time 10
take q spin is at the height Of a rainstorm
or the tag end of a good thick blizzard
Most people are more than ordinarily eau
tious then. When the sun comes out and
the roads dry off, everybody does a little
relaxing, lets it out, and turns his car into
Il kind Of travelling nut house. SD. .....
The season, therefore, is ripe for taking
stock of your own assets and liabill-
ties as a driver, the ones that appear to be
those of the average driver you encounter,
and those of your car as something TO en-
trust your life to. s..........-
How long it will take to make the ma
tion's highways as safe as its sidewalks
nobody cares to guess, but the problems OF
traffic have never commanded such con-
certed, countrywide study as they are now
receiving. National organizationsf COM
munity groups, city, county, state, and fed
eral officials are going after satisfactory
solutions from every conceivable angle.
Highway Improvement is one idea. The
chairman Of C0nnecticut's Highway Safety
Commission has recently expressed hope,
"a have others, for compulsory car. inspec-
ton prior to any transfer of ownership Of
secondhand automobile. The imposition
of, driving tests and other examinations on
license applicants is growing.
A Chicago traffic court judge has gone
TO the extent of having traffic law violators
examined by psychiatrists, and induced to
take treatments whose purpose is the cor
rection OF the personality twists" respon-
sble for their abnormal behavior at the
wheel
The greatest movement, and the most
effective one, is the safety education cam
paign among children and adults. Figures

RYRD'S WARNING

Senator Byrd Of Virginia stands in uncompro-
missing opposition TO renewal of "pump-priming'
by the federal government, course which in all
probability the administration shortly will adopt
He warns that continued spending Of borrowed
money may bring a day when taxes alone are in
sufficient to maintain federal solvency, (which
means the cenfscation Of property and the de-
struction of our system of private ownership"
He says that previous spending brought only
transient and artificial prosperity and created
bureaucracy so wasteful and so powerfully en-
trenched that little short Of a political revolution
will be necessary to dsinante its vast operations
On Senator Byrd's complaint against the new
bureaucracy most thoughtful citizens will agree
but, bad as is the spending of borrowed money
and as artificial as is the temporary PROSPERITY 1t
brings, there will be doubts of his belief that 1t
threatens the continuation of our system OF private

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

WASH1NGToN.--The big news
w is that the Roosevelt admin
istration has decided to try to
SPEND the country out Of the
depression.
The decision finally was reached
by the President and WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry Hopkins at
Warm Springs. Further develop
ments, are rapidly unfolding.
Half a dozen plans for pump
ing money into the economic sys-
tenn, backed and press-agented by
as many groups, are being pushed
around in the air. There are plans
for pure spending and plans for
pure lending, schemes for lend
ing in such way that only part
Of the rnoaey will come back and
schemes for lending 50 that none
OF II win come back.
Although mechanics OF the
pump.p printing scheme to be
recommended to Congress are
not worked out, 1t is certain that
Mr.. Roosevelt will call for at least
3,000,000,000 OF funds for WPA
and public works.
1t is not unlikely that the old
PWA, whose machinery has been
kept oiled for a program such as
is now imminent, will be merged
with WPA and that the whole
works-recovery program will be
co-ordinated under Hopkins. In
order to get a fast start, the
merged organization would begin
at once on projects of both agen-
cieS which have been proposed
and studied but have not been act
ed on because Of lack Of funds.
Prominence of Harry Hopkins
in the Roosevelt councils and in
administration of the spending
program makes it certain that
comprehensive if not favorable
consideration will be given to a
