Revival Of the E Epitoph Is Hope
OF Cruftsmen's Convention

Memorial craftsmen. in town for
their annual convention, hope to
bring back the epitaph-that brief
bit of writing once 50 popular on
monuments and mausoleums.
In q changing age. the epitaph has
gone out Of favor.
Edward G. Miller, president of the
society of memorial craftsmen from
Maryland Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia, today expressed
the belief that America would do
we'll to get back to the early prac-
tices of his craft. In New England,
in the deep South, and even in the
Mid and Far West the oldtime tomb
stones read like pages out Of family
histories. And this is what the
memorial craftsmen advocate. Along
with artistics designs and beauty.
From the beginning Of time, !"
said Mr.. Miller at the Ambassador
Hotel, "the human race has tried to
preserve its records. An illustration
Of this is found In the pyramids"

Four out Of every 10 dresses bought
by women in the United States are
returned to the stores for exchange
or refund.
This evidence that women exer-
else the right to change their minds
was presented by Max Gertz, chair
man Of the Advisory Committee on

American Standards Association, in
talk to a luncheon meeting here
yesterday attended by representa-
tives of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, American Associa-
ticn Of University Women and
American Home Economics Associa-
ton.
In citing some problems In the
solution of which consumer-retailer
cooperation should prove increas-
ingly fruitful Mr.. Gertz said surveys
have established each return of q
purchase, without regard to its cost,
entails an average expense of 80
cents to the store, and each COM
plant means an average debit Of 81.

craftsman Of note was Cheops, or
Khufa, who flourished almost 5000
BIC. He built the largest Of the
three pyramids, q monument 482
feet high with q base that covers
almost 13 acres. Constructed Of huge
limestone blocks, 1t has inner sepul-
chral chambers approached by slop-
ing passages-and there are hidden
epitapl1s.
b. The Memorial Craftsmen of
America do not advocate the build
ing Of pyramids, but they do desire
the erection Of great memorials
like the Lincoln Memorial, the
Washington Monument and the va
rious obelsks scattered around the
country to the memory of states
men and others In public life.
Over and above that. however.
they want the records Of the indi-
vidual family placed on marble, or
granite, instead of having little
bronize tablets with only names
and dates-which are the order OF

To Send Children on
No-Tuition Busis &

A bill to broaden the scope Of the
law under which Maryland and Vfr-
ginia children whose parents work
in the District may attend District
public schools without payment of
tuition was offered in the Senate

ocrat, of Maryland.
The existing law applies only to
children living with their own par
ents. The Tydings bill adds new
provision, as follows: Including
persons standing in loco PARENTS
to such children"
According to District officials, this

school here without tuition If they
are living with guardians, with q
step-father or step-mother, or with
other persons who have assumed
the obligations of parents.
During consideration of last years

to confer with local traffic authori-
ties on their new safety drive, said
he believed the one-judge-one-p pros
ecutor plan should be substituted
for the present system of rotating
judges in the Traffic Court.
II don't mean this as criticism
Of the courts record" Mr.. Stricken
emphasized. Its record of suspen-
sions is low and It's conviction record
in general is not bad-except in
cases of trafiic fatalities. There it
is not so good"
Mr.. Stricken said his studies had
convinced him that the rotation
system has many disadvantages, the
chief one being lack of uniformity
In fines and in handling traffic cases.
Report to Be Analysed.
Mr.. Stricken will outline his views
and analyze Washington's 1898 traf-
f1c report In the national safety
contest at meeting of the Traffic

ards, Mr.. Brown said. AzsEH

At the same time. the police su-
perintendent said there has been
no noticeable increase in arrests for
traffic violations since Inauguration
Of the new campaign last Tuesday.
"The great amount of publicity
given our efforts already seems to
have had the effect Of making mo-
torists drive more cautiously" he
said. I'VE don't want to be forced
to make lot of arrests, but we are
insisting on strict enforcement, par
ticularly against drivers who violate
regulations while their cars are in
motion"
While emphasis is being placed on
moving violations" however, minor
violations of parking regulations
and the like are not being ignored,
he emphasized.
= Stars Analysis Praised.
At a meeting yesterday afternoon
with Maj. Brown and other police
officials, Mr.. Stricken disclosed that
Washington's traffic law enforce
ment record compares favorable with
those Of other cities of 500, 900 pop-
ulation or more.
At the same time he praised The
Stars analysis of local traffic fatali-
ties in 1899, saying it had been most
helpful in our studies"
Among those attending the meet
ing, In addition to the police super
intendent, were Inspector William
E. Holmes. Capt. Milton D. Smith
and H. v. Schreiber. safety engineer
OF the Capital Transit Co.
In considering city's standing
Mr. Stricken said. five points are
considered: Accident reports and
their analysis, traffic engineering
traffic law enforcement, school ano
child safety and traffic education
On these five points, he revealed
that Washington's best record was
IN regard to enforcement of traffic
laws.
Mr.. Stricken agreed with tn,
