Safety IsIonds Sought
By Civic Body

In a campaign designed to lessen
the number Of trafdc accidents and
fatalities along Bladensburg road
from Fifteenth and H streets NE. to
the District line the Bladensburg
Road Citizens Association is seeking
safety islands at all intersections not
controlled at present by officers or
traffic lights.
John D. Wolfe. president of the
association, has stated that the
width Of the highway and the in
creased speed limit from Mount
Olivet Cemetery to the District line
to 80 miles per hour affords an ex-
tremely dangerous hazard to pedes-
trians.
Most Of the people who live in
this area have to cross the highway
to do their shopping and thereby
endanger their lives" he said.
Each year the number of pedes-
trian struck and severely injured in
creases and the existing condition
should be corrected" Mr.. Wolfe
stated. The highway at this point is

wave has become joy to what it
was in grandmother's day.
Modern liners and cruise ships no
longer depend on the lure of the
sea, doctors recommendations or
the practical service of transporta-
ton from port A to point B to fill
their hulls to the gunwales. "At
home afloat' is ever the watchword,
unless downtown afloat" better
suits the woman traveller. There are
shops, newspapers, telephones, elab-
crate restaurants and shipfuls of
servants. New and marvellous sea-
going cities are rising on the ways
but more to the point is the modern
entertainment spirit aboard.
Long ago the transatlantic movie
fans distress was eased when liner
designers f1guratively lifted ornate
nelghborhood film houses bodily, to
incorporate them in ships; COVER
ness-supervised playrooms take the
children off the peripatetic mothers
mind, delighting young eyes aboard
the Normandie, for instance, with
such added attractions as MARION
cite shows by Fernand Brossard,
guignoliste.
HosteSses are found aboard plane,
train and cruise ship, giving timely,
inventive spurts to the travelling
social whirl. Cruise directors allow
time out for their hostesses to pick
up the latest dance steps and pass
on the art to their gay charges at
the next sailing. Or the hostesses
devise their own dances and games
to add to their stock in trade.
Latest craze aboard the New York
to-Havana Oriente is the hit the
deck dance. The orchestra signals
for women to leave their partners,
and they link hands to form a circle.
The men join in an inside ring and
each circle prances in an opposite
direction. The music stops and
both rings break to scramble for
individual partners. AS partners
they must hit the deck-sit down.
The slowest couple is eliminated and
the dance begins another cycle.
And that's not all the fun of
cruising.

While women might not inspire
such things as fishing trips, except
negatively, as said before, Florida is
another and rather unusual matter.

HOW ABOUT ANOTHER
OPEN SEASON?

One of these days somebody is going
to run for public office on platform
calling for an open season on dove hun
ters who have less sportsmanship than
common sense in their makeup, and very
little of either. Whoever runs on such
a platform is liable to be elected by the
biggest landslide in history.
With the dove season scant hours old,
Imperial county already has seen a dem
onstration of the fact that Barnum was
a reactionary conservative when he said
a fool was born every minute. Either
Barnum was wrong. or the birth rate
has increased. 1t is bit hard to under
stand, however, how it is that all of
them shoulder guns and travel to I'M
perial Valley when the dove season is
opened.
1t il strange, too, that a business man
from Los Angeles, who in his own office
tears his hair out by the roots at the
suggestion of communism, becomes
confirmed communist when he gets
shotgun in his hands and doves on his
mind. Private property, as far as he is
concerned, ceases to exist. No Hunt
ing sign is the same to him as an en-
graved invitation to trample crops and
soil, sprinkle roofs with leaden pellets
and lombard live 5 t ock for which
LnOugnIleSS FARMERS nave noI eIeSleu
any Maginot line.
Imperial Valleys own residents, for
the most part, are a pretty considerate
lot when they go hunting. That is, they
do observe mo Hunting warnings, they
try no to fire a direct shot into some
farmers living room, and they are more
or less satisfied with the legal limit of
birds. Because they are sportsmen as
we'll as hunters, it is regrettable that the
ruthless conduct of those from outside
the valley, who evidently have heard of
craftsmanship only as a vague some
thing taught by football coaches to their
boys, puts the whole tribe of dove hum
ters in disrepute.
The miniature world war that was
brought to Imperial Valley by hordes
of dove hunters this season is likely to
have one of two results:
The dove season will be closed entire
ly by unanimous consent or;
Ordinary Imperial Valley residents
will move to the coast and mountains
during dove season, leaving the country
to the hunters.

CREDIT TO BELLIGERENTS

Opponents of embargo act repeal are
making much out of a clause in the pro-
posed title : and carry neutrality act
which would grant ordinary commercial
credits of 90 days to purchasers OF ma
terials in this country. The clause, they
say. bellies the 'cash-and-carry label
under which the proposal was launched.
These persons may be safe IN over
looking the fact that in business circles
a 9O-day credit is considered, to all IN
tents and purposes, to be cash payment.
There is another point, however, they
cannot be forgiven for overlooking
Under existing law, there is no limit
on the credit that can be extended to
warning nation, either as to length or
size. We cannot sell England military
airplanes, of course-but we can sell
her the parts and accept her lou for
them. Under the proposed new law, the
lou would be for only 80 days-and II
it weren't paid then the sales would
cease.
If credit is to be the basis of argument,
the argument should consider both sides
of the issue-and it is a moral certainty
that short credit is far better than long
is concerned.

begged reporters not to publish the
fact that they were leaving Wash

look at it, is an encouraging devel-

While Congress waits for some

One woman called the office of a
leading isolationist senator and said
she was willing to sacrifice herself
to restore peace. Years ago, she
said. she had offered the state of
Massachusetts to let it electrocute
her in the place of Sacco and VAN
zetti. Massachusetts, had turned
her down; but now she was willing
! to let herself be burned at the
stake, in public, if England, France
and Germany would call the war
off. She hung up when the sena-
tors secretary wanted to know just
, why this startling sacrifice would
lead the statesmen in those coun-
tries to decide that their was aims
had been achieved.
Another woman came to town
with the proposition that a COM
, mittee OF 10 or Is American mothers

Europe. 1t was her idea that thse
mothers try the Chanceleries first
F and make a direct appeal for peace
, If that didn't Work-and she ad-
mitted it probably wouldnt-she
would have them set right out for

If ever in the history of the
United states there was an oppor-
tunity for the long-range states
manship, it is in the deliberations
among the 81 American Republics
now going on in Panama. The
whole future of the western world
may easily be involved.
Everybody knows that the Eu-
ropean War throws our way certain
opportunities for trade. Sout h
American buyers accustomed to be-
ing supplied from Europe have had
to turn to the United States. There
will be business to be had in the
markets to the south.
But it is imperative that the
United States look on this situation
as more than a mere opportunity
to turn a quick profit. 1t Is much
bigger than that; the world will
go on after the war, and it will be
a different world. Inter American
policies arrived at now will have a
large hand in shaping that world.
o O o
Closer trade links between the
Americas are inevitable. But the
important thing is to place them
on so solid a foundation that after
the war is over they cannot be
shaken. If the United States ships
southwark shoddy goods for the
sake of a quick profit, this will
react against us in the future
when others again compete for the
same markets. 1t is only If we
ship quality goods at fair prices
extend liberal credit facilities, make
