Police Records Show Responsibility For
 Numerous Accidents
Superintendent of Police in Weekly Safety Statement Points Out Dangerous Type of Careless,
 Indifferent Pedestrians

cross at other places amounts to contributory negligence. No jay walker" ever has the right of way An examination of our accident rec. ords shows that pedestrian accidents are much more likely to occur in tho middle of the block than at inter- sections"
 Dangerous Handicap
 "One type of 'jay-walker' steps into the street from behind parked cars. Even the most alert and cau- tious driver may not know that there is a pedestrian anywhere near until it is too late to swerve enough or to bring his car to an emergency stop. The practice is so decidedly unfair that, no matter what his haste, the man on foot never has the right to create such a hazard ous situation"
 Stepping out of a parked car on it's street side amounts to practically the same thing as darting out from behind parked cars. Perhaps it is even worse, because the position of the person who is getting out of the car is not upright, and he may not even be facing the street. He can- not move quickly out of sudden danger"
 'The arch nuisance among jay walkers" is the person who darts into the street and weaves in and out of traffic, zigzagging, from one clear spot to another much like Eliza Gin Uncle Toms Cabin") crossing the river on ice foes. When a pedestrian is weaving through traffic he is out of place. He has not learned even when to walk. He is unfairly using the street when 1t rightly belongs to drivers"
 Running Type
 'The running pedestrians Is an- other traffic nuisance. Drivers set their habits to 8 certain pedestrian tempo. By running, the pedestrian changes the tempo, and presents new situations which every driver will not meet successfully. Both the driver and the pedestrian have less time to make adjustments. When running the pedestrian may stum- ble, and he will certainly reduce his ability to size up the traffic condi. tionS properly"

The responsibility for many acci- dents rests with the "jaywalker", says Police Superintendent William J. Roach in a safety statement to- day. Care on the part of the pedes- trian, he says, will do much to cut down accident totals.
 He warns specifically at crossing streets at points other than irtersec- tions, walking into the street from behind parked cars, leaving parked car through the door on the street side, and crossing through trafflc in zig-zag fashion.
 Traffic regulations include special provisions for the protection of pedestrians at intersections. To

Accomplishments Considerable.
The accomplishments to date of
the new Congress have been consid-
cradle, even if negative. On the
affirmative side, however, practically
nothing has been done, although q
long program stretches out.
The national defense program has
advanced, passing the House by an
overwhelming vote, and will un-
doubtedly go through the Senate
also.
Even in connection with this meas
ure, however, the administration has
received check. The Senate Military
Committee, while holding hearings
on the national defense program,
unearthed the fact that the admin
1stration was going out OF its way
to make easy the purchase of mill
tary planes by the French. Imme-
diately there was challenge.
Senators wanted to know If the
President was leading this country
into some kind of defensive alli-
ance with France and Great Brit
ain. The whole matter f1ared vigor-
ously after the President had held
secret conference with members of
the Military Affairs Committee, and
subsided when the President re-
stated the traditional policy of the
United States against any foreign
entanglements.
While debate of foreign relations
has stopped at least temporarily in
the Senate-it has stopped because
of the statement made by the Presi-
dent that he was not leading the
country into any foreign involve
ments. 1t is ready to break out
again at the slightest provocation,
however, as indicated by the state
ment issued this week by Senator
Hiram johnson of California, de-
manding that the country be kept
fully informed about any changes
in foreign policy.
The administration has still to
come forward with any proposal for
amendment of the neutrality act. If
it asks that the President be given
the power to determine an aggres-
sor nation. or even to name nations
which have violated treaties to
which this country is signatory, and
therefore to modify neutrality, it
will be disastrously defeated in the
Senate.
In the six weeks period now
elapsed since Congress met, nothing
has been done about the farmers,
the railroads, the administration

the governmental departments, neu-
trality, taxes, the extension of none
