Judge Casey Urges
Civic Organizations 10
Fiqht Traffic Toll
Working Committees
Advised at Georgetown
Progressive Meeting

Designation of active, working
traffic committees by civic organiza-
tions to meet the problems of
traffic deaths was urged by Police
Court Judge Walter ]. Casey last
night at a meeting of the George
town Progressive Citizens Associa-
ton at the Curtis School. This
committee" he said, should be-
come acquainted with traffic prob
lens generally and, of course,
specifically within its own territory"
Judge Casey urged the association
to enlist lin the campaign of educa-
ton to eradicate death from the
highways" He said that constant
work and action in the stressing of
safety during the year just passed
was responsible for the reduction
in deaths"
Turning to the proposal for the
addition of a traffic Judge to the
Police Court, Judge Casey said this
may be a proper step"
IT think we could use another
judge" he remarked.
Sees prosecutor" Possibility.
"It has, however," he added,
occurred to me - that to place
a judge permanently on the traffic
bench might tend to make him
another prosecutor"
In discussing the report of George
Warren of the New Jersey Bar to
the National Committee on Traffic
Law Enforcement. in which it was
stated that traffic judges of the
future must be able to utilize ac-
cident statistics and engineering
data, Judge Casey warned:
IF the qualifications of traffic
expert are demanded of judge pre-
siding in Traffic Court and are con-
sidered paramount to other and un-
specialized qualifications, then I fear
for rights always considered sacred
and fundamental in our American
life"
Sees More Traffic Cases.
Judge Casey, explaining the work
of the Police Court, said that in 1889
27,890 cases were tried in Traffic
Court and SOL jury trials were de-
manded in addition in traffic cases.
The figures for 1910, which are not
yet available, may be even higher,
Judge Casey predicted.
Stanton Kolhs motion to create a
committee to attend a hearing of
the zoning Adjustment Board this
month on a protest against the use
of building in their area by the
Self-Help Exchange was approved.
Mr.. Kolb expressed the fear that the
use of a building by the exchange
would be the opening wedge" in
changing zoning regulations.
After discussing proposed changes
in the liquor regulations, the asso-
citation indorsed proposals that no
new license be granted within 600
feet of schools, churches and play
grounds; that advertising signs be
restricted to 10 square feet and that
patrons should be allowed to stand
up when they drink. A motion was
also passed requesting traffic light
at Wisconsin avenue and r street.

British Mediterranean feet.)
Continued patrol activity was re-
ported along the Sudanese frontier.
The high command reported

Italians were opposed by 250,0OO
troops-mostly English and Aus
tralians-supported by great arm
ored units, not less than 1000 planes
and the entire Alexandria fleet"
The fact the garrison held up the
British drive into Libya for three
weeks was cited.

be marked with special music programs In
clubs. schools and churches throughout the
country.
Music is the universal language of man
kind One does not need a knowledge of
French. Italian, German or even English, to
know and appreciate good music. 1t has
powers to inspire the heart of man and lift
up his soul. 1t appeals to his Imagination and
stirs his emotions. Music has been used for
many things and on many occasions IN his
tory. 1t has been the means OF helping coun-
tries find themselves and it has helped plunge
nations into war.
The word Emusic" comes from the Greek
word which means ''the art of the Muses."
the NEUROLOGICAL goddesses of inspiration.
Music more than any other pursuit offers Us
a means to get away from the ordinary
routine and monotony of life into an ideal
ream.
Undoubtedly the first music was singing
a spontaneous expression of human emotion
in which speech blended with song. The
first songs known to civilization were those
Of the savages the outstanding characteristic
Of which was vibrant rhythm. Rhythm com
bined with melody and harmony make up
the three dement's of music.
On outstanding program sponsored by the
Nevin Music Club has been arranged in Du-
rant for this ensuing week. 1t will be opened
with a sacred concert at the Baptist Church
at five o'clock. On Tuesday morning the
Durant Band will give a concert on the cam
pus and the annual twilight musicale will be
held Thursday afternoon at five o'clock at

grams are open to the public.
