BE ALIVE
The FIFTH

Adopting the slogan BE Alive the
Fifth" the National Safety Council has
launched a campaign to reduce the
Fourth of July automobile accident toll.
The council has separated the major
causes of highway accidents and issued
the following rules to eliminate them:
/. Use ordinary caution and common
sense in driving.
2. Be temperate.
8. Observe the accepted safety rules
when swimming or boating.
4. Parents should caution their
children not to use fireworks or ex-
plosives in celebration of the day.
5. Public officials should arrange
public fireworks displays, manned by
experienced workmen, to replace private
use of fireworks.
6. Communities and states which
have not done so should pass laws pro-
hibiting the sale of fireworks.
1--WE call on every citizen" the council
said, ito remember that it is not only
ironic but cruel to celebrate the right
| to life, liberty and the pursuit OF hap
piness by bringing about death, dis
ability and tragedy"
Last year 8,27O persons-more thar
twice the number killed in the Revolu
tionary war which the day commemor
ates-met death in July 4 accidents.
IF history repeats itself, the Foutrl
of July this year will bring nationa
catastrope," the council said. "Thous
ands will be killed or injured. Children
will be manned for life"
If you want to be alive on the Fifth
be careful on the Fourth, the counci
pleaded.

MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Queen Elizabeth is back in England
and much lies in the wake Of he1
American visit. First of all I would
say Elizabeth returns to English shores
with a new title-"The Queen OF
Hearts"
Secondly would say Elizabeth has
started new rumbling of the fashion
presses and has given women as well
as designers something to think about
whether they like it or not.
WE'LL won't go into the "who likes
and who doesn't" I will just say
opinion today seems somewhat divided
But the sum and substance of it is
that as matters stand now Queen Eliz-
abeth has good chance of having more
influence upon fashion than any
woman of the presenter near past
Oddly enough she has no desire to bs
a fashion leader-she just wants tx
look the best and as suitably dressed
for her job as queen as she can. Be
leadership may be thrust upon her.
1t has all come about because the
Queen has a mind of her own and she
won't order a costume just because il
is Hartnells or Schiaparelli's latest
nor will she wear color just because
it is the darling of the moment.
With her dresSmaker and fashion
counselor, Norman Hartnell, she plan:
clotheS-NOt to Follow the Mode-But
to Suit Her Type, her figure and hel
character. AS result Queen Elizabeth
stands out in monotone ensemble:
against the two tone or multi-colorec
dressing of this years pace-setters.
AS for following the length" Of
fashion Elizabeth just ignores it. Hel
shortest skirt is considerably longer
than anything this country has seer
for months. Her frocks are very few
inches above the ankle-when above
them at all eight to ten inches above

Onion King for a Dax

Few markets are as unusual as
the onion market of Berne. This
Swiss event is held once a year. It
dates back to the Middle ages,
when peasants from the Wistenlach
region brought the hungry city a
store of onions and winter vege-
tables. The onion is king of the
market, with garlands of onions
forming the decorations for stands
and displays. Onion pie, onion soup,
meat with onions and even candy
in onion shapes are sold in the city
during the day of the market.

Blowing Your Own Trumpet,

When we speak Of the fellow who
elbows his own trumpet" we refer
to his habit of indulging in self
praise. The phrase comes from
the ancient custom whereby the
name and rank of knights and other
important personages were an
nounced at banquets, balls and 9TH
er functions by heralds, who usual
ly preceded the announcement with
a flourish on trumpets, says Pear
sons London Weekly. Those who
had no social standing were left to
elbow their own trumpet, or, in
other words, to make their pres
ence known to one another without
being announced.

Inn S Plea for Liquor
License Is Fought

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board yesterday heard protests,
some from competitors, against the
issuance of a Glass c liquor license
to Tip Top Inn, Inc, at 1922 K
street NV.
Richard Butler, manager of the
Hamilton Hotel, and Gus Galanis,
manager of the Embassy Restaurant
in the 900 block of Fourteenth street,
told the board the area is "over-
served" and that they were oppos-
ing the license "for the good of the
neighborhood."
officials Of the Temple Secretarial
School also protested the license on
the ground that it might be en-
barrassing to young women waiting
outside the school for their escorts.
They argued it would also be a
detriment to enrolment in both the
day and evening divisions.
Solomon Schuler, speaking for the
inn, said the establishment was
primarily "high-class chop house"
with no dancing or music on the
premises. The bar, he said, was
simply side issue, and added that
SO per cent of the clientele were
men.

Sponsible for the depression, said
Mr.. Mclean. absolving the business
man from blame. He saw its causes
in the World War and in the bad
peace" which followed. engendering
"a condition of fear and hatred be-
tween the nations with the con-
seGuent decline in world trade. He
said he spoke from the Canadian
point of view, but remarked that
his comments were applicable to the
United States.
Wadsworth Speaks.
International business men sit

melt the worlds uncertainties, Eliot
Wordsworth, chairman of the Inter-
national Chambers American sec
ton, said. He reminded the audi
ence that the International Cham
ber will meet in Copenhagen, Den
mark, In June. He said:
If the assembled delegates at
Copenhagen can agree on certain
fundamental needs of the present
situation it can only be a helpful
step toward relieving the interna-
tional tension which is now almost
suffocating the world. Such a con-
gress may seem unimportant in a
great international crisis. but it is
perhaps the only place of rendezvous
that remains where private citizens
of all nationalities meet in friend
ship and frankness.

its prestige as a conference place
for nations. The International
Chamber is carrying on as a con-
ference place for business men,"

setup an "absurdity," he declared
it would encroach on the rights of
citizens to appeal from decisions of
the Board of Zoning Adjustment as
at present and would tend to con-
fusion in government.
The transfer also would provide
that proposed changes in zoning
regulations shall be submitted to
city council for approval. Refer
ring to this provision, Mr.. Buckley
expressed doubt that property rights
of citizens relative to zoning with
out the aid of any zoning advisory
council would be protected.
Daniel Lloyd was elected president
of the association to succeed Mr..
Corbin. Other officers named were
Arthur Oehm, first vice president:
Mrs. Arthur Kriemelmeyer, second
vice president; George r. Kieferle,
recording secretary; Mrs. J. NJ.
Hardy, corresponding secretary, and
T. w. Buckley, treasurer.
Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Corbin were
selected delegates to the Federation
of Citizens Association. The group

World Trade Increase
Suggested
ByThomas J. Watson
International c. Of 6.
Head Praises Hull
Trade Program

In a plea for world wide amity
based on the golden rule, Thomas j..
Watson, president of the Interna-
tional Chamber of Commerce and
president of the International Busi-
ness Machines Corp, last night
urged as a necessary step to in
creased world trade the reduction
of ornaments, the stabilization OF
the countries currencies, fair ad-
justment" of trade barriers and i'm
proved distribution through the
world of raw materials.
Mr.. Watson told the banquet
meeting of the American section OF
the International Chamber at the
Mayhower that it is time to apply
the simple rule of common sense
and sit down at the council table
for free discussion before war can
happen He applauded the Hull
reciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram as he emphasized that in his
view the cure of the worlds political
ills rests in "the proper flow of goods
and services both ways across
borders"
In his official capacity with the
chamber, Mr.. Watson, whose speech
was nationally broadcast, spoke for
the business representatives OF 40
nations. Men from Canada, Fin
land, Great Britain, Peru and Brazil
as we'll as the United States were
present at the banquet. Mr.. Wat
son read cable from Sir Allen An
derson, British member Of the
chamber, expressing regret that
urgent preparations which we hope
will be unneeded" prevented his at
tending the meeting.
Profit-sharing Urged.
The liberal tone of Mr.. Watson's
internationalism was applied to do
mestic questions of j. Stanley Nc
Lean, president of the Canadian
Chamber of Commerce. He criticized
the Chambers of Commerce, as
spokesmen for capital, for what he
considered their historically incor-
rect attitude toward labor, and he
pressed his audience to work for the
general establishment of profit
sharing systems in industry, fairly
dividing between employees and
shareholders.
Mr.. Mclean foresaw in such
step the end of the "class war" and
the promotion of a spirit of part
nership" between capital and labor
He granted that businessmen as a
whole have become more enlight-
ened during recent years in their
attitude toward labor, which few
regard any more as commodity
He traced the changed attitude
largely to lessons taught by the de-
preston.

Clerks Kept on Jump
Handling Requests
For New Offering

The opening day demand for the
eighth symphonic offering Of The
Evening Stars music appreciation
campaign pushed the total number
of record groups distributed thus
far past the $4,000 mark, a survey
disclosed today.
The neWst release-Tschaikow-
sky's Symphony No. in F. Minor"
was made available for the first
time yesterday co-incident with the
launching of the tenth week Of The
Stars campaign.
Clerks on duty at the special mu-
sic appreciation booth in the lobby
of The Star Building were kept on
the jump all day handling requests
for the new offering and the seven
previous releases of the campaign.
The majority of requests, of course,
were for the Tschaikowsky SYM
phony, but the previous offerings
also figured largely in the days dis
tribution.
The initial release of the cam
paign-Franz Schubert's immortal
Unfinished Symphony"-continues
to lead all of the other offerings in
total number of records sold. To
date more than 8,400 recordings of
this work have been obtained by
music lovers here and elsewhere.

Plan 10 Transfer
Teacher Control
From Board Hit
Manor Park Citizens
AssoiI Proposal in
E sGriffenhogen Report

The Manor Park Citizens As
sociation last night expressed its
"unalterable" opposition to any
transfer of the control of teaching
personnel from the Board of Edu-
cation to the proposed Department
Of Personnel, as provided in the
Griffenhagen plan for reorganiza-
ton Of the District government.
AS proposed in the plan, the per-
sonnel of the school system would
be vested in a Department of Per-
sonnel, which would have director
appointed by the District adminis-
traitor and a board of three men,
bers.
Terming the present autonomous
status of the Board of Education
as most conducive to good school,
management and to the best inter-
est of the District school system,
the association expressed the fear
that the transfer would remove any
voice District residents might have
in the control of their schools.
If the schools are taken out Of
the jurisdiction of the superintend-
ent of schools and the Board of
Education, we would have no say
at all in how the schools should bs
rum" F. A. Oehm declared.
Corbin AssaiIs Plan.
George A. Corbin, president.
warned the members that local
teachers won't have a chance to
get to teach in District schools if
this goes through" Even now, he
said, there is movement to open
appointments in Washington schools
to teachers from all over the coun-
try. Lets give our boys and girls
chance to obtain teaching posi-
tions here by keeping the school
system as it is," he added.
Turning to another provision In
the Griffenhagen report, which is
to be considered, by Congress We'd
nesday, the group opposed the
transfer of the custody and opera
ton of schol buildings from the
Board of Education to the proposed
department of public works.
A. Scmerville, who presented the
resolution, declared the transfer
would take the control of school
buildings away from those in charge
Of the school system and conse-
quently away from the control Of
teachers whose work requires that
all teaching paraphernalia must be
under their immediate Jurisdiction.
Such change, he asserted, would
prevent proper supervision of school
buildings for teaching purposes.
The association also acted favor
ably on a resolution presented by
T. w. Buckley hitting any transfer
of the functions of the Zoning Com
mission and the Board of Zoning
Adjustment to department of pub
lie works, as proposed in the reor-
ganization plan.
Proposed Setup Condemned.
Mr.. Buckley said he failed to see
how such a change would benefit
District citizens. Terming such a

During the last month approx
