Must q Motorist Be Careful
At q RoiIroad Crossing
Thut is Seldom Used?

A salesman's trips often took him
along a certain country road. At
one point on this road was rail-
road crossing, but since the sales
man never saw train there he de-
cided 1t must be an abandoned
track. However, one day train
did start across the road-just be-
fore the man got there. He was 60
ing too fast to stop, and crashed
into one of the cars. Later he sued
the railroad for damages, saying
there was no warning at the cross
ing. But the court turned down the
salesman's claim on the ground
that he was equally to blame for
the accident. The judge said that he
had no right to take 1t for granted
that the track was abandoned, just
because 1t wasn't used very often.
"A railroad track In ITSELF" said
tbs Judge. liz a notice Of danger"

Early Steps Urged
To Hold Down Y. D.

The executive secretary of the
Social Hygiene Society today
called on Federal and District
officials "to take steps to keep
Washington's venereal disease
and illegitimacy rates from soar
ing as they did during World
War H."
In a report to the society's
board, Executive Secretary Ray
H. Everett said the need for social
protection measures is increasing
as more and more young people
are brought to Washington for
Government work and military as
signments.

During World War II, he said,
"our community was held up to
the Nation as one of the four
cities most culpable in the mat
ter of injecting visiting service
men. largely because of the So
called amateur pickup situation
here"
Records show that Washing
tons Metropolitan Police Depart
ment did an excellent job of re-
pressing organized commercial
prostitution during those war
years, Just as the Health Depart
ment maintained high diagnostic
and treatment Standards" he
added. But neither of these Of
f1cial agencies can be expected to
safeguard the city against the
widespread sexual promiscuity
that accompanies the social dis
locations of war"
Three Steps Suggested.
Mr.. Everett called specifically
for these three steps:
/. Increased emphasis by mill
tary authorities on their "morali-
ty program" both in the orienta-
tion and later training Of draf-
tees. During World War H." he
said, washington repeatedly was
warned by military leaders that
far too many Army boys are be-
ing infected in your city, Some of
these officers seemed to overlook
the fact that venereal infection
is not acquired by spontaneous
combustion but is a partnership
proposition, with their boys being
jointly responsible"

Limiting Access to Shirley Highway

Virgina's Highway Commission has adopted
q resolution which, in effect, is warning to
Alexandra and other communities bordering
Shirley Highway that the State will fight any
attempt to open more access roads along that
restricted boulevard. The warning is timely, in
view of Alexandrias annexation of land on both
sides OF the new divided-lane highway. The pos
sibility that Alexandria might want to build
additional entrances to the road was suggested
during the recent annexation proceedings At
that time representative of the city disclained
any knowledge Of plans for such a move
Shirley Highway was built as a limited
access thoroughfare, designed to facilitate the
movement of traffic between Washington and
Woodbridge, on u S. Route l. It is the fourth
restricted highway in Virginia, the others being
the Virginia Beach boulevard out of Norfolk,
the Fredericksburg bypass on Route and q
short stretch of U. S. Route So west of Danville
The State Highway Commissions resolution
points out that it is considered highly important
that regardless of the political subdivisions in
which Shirley Highway and other limited-access
highways lie, said highways retain for all time
their limited access features" Not to adhere
to this sensible policy would be to defeat the
purpose for which Shirley Highway was built
to convert it into another Richmond highway
with its many cross-road traffic hazards and
tie-ups

Insects are interesting, no matter how
much Of threat they are.
They constitute great order of living
things, about a million different forms,
and not all identified, by any means.
Most Of us will know but few. There
we're the small, round, white ones we
found under stones, as children; there
were the "doodlebugs'' that came out Of
the sawdust around the old icehouse.
These forms seemed to come up when
some one sang ditty to them.
Actually. what happened was that the
singer got low enough to the sawdust
to disturb their mounds with the vibra-
ton of his voice.
Such insects as flies, fleas and the
like are known to most people.
Others remain mystery. Even the
reaches and other common household
pests are regarded with some awe and
disdain, but the average person never
even thinks of looking them up" in q
book.

sometimes called buffalo moths. assault
their respective preys in the cleanest Of

on a favorite shrub, and from there
works its way indoors. &.

Here We Go Again

House committee headed by Representative
Davis of Georgia has spent months investigating
crime in the District, and has come up with q
series of legislative recommendations to remedy
weak spots in law enforcement that it detected.
Now it is proposed that Senate committee do
the whole thing over again. It would be inter-
esting to know why.
There have been suggestions that the SEN
ators have been reading magazine articles and
books about Washingtons crime and are dis
turbed by the charges (largely phony) that were
made. recent shooting in downtown bottle
club is given as another reason. But these justi-
ncations are not very convincing. If the Senators
believe that the Davis committee has not done a
thorough job, or that it has whitewashed some
aspects of the crime picture, there is legitimate
basis for second investigation. If they do not
believe this more constructive results would be
obtained If the Senators would get behind the
legislative recommendations which have emerged
from the House study
The extravagant statements in some books
and magazine articles may serve to transfer
dollars from the pockets of gullible readers to
the authors. But If this is the real reason for
the proposed Senate investigation the only sub
stantial result viii be to waste the time of the
Senator'S and the money of the taxpayers.

for chemical sprays, but much can be
done simply by keeping ones eyes open
and destroying them when found.
That was the secret of the old-time
housekeeper. who had no modern chemi-
Gals for her fight on household insects.
Even today some of the sprays are
offensive to certain sensitive noses, and
some even offer some danger of explo-
sion. Sprays containing DDT may harm
house cats, which seem very sensitive
to this particular ingredient.
Spring cleanup time offers excellent
possibilities for insect study, both in
doors and outdoors. One scientist says
he found 5000 species in his own small
backyard. Most Of us will not do so
good, but we will find plenty OF subjects
to intrigue us. Those who have made
intensive studies of the insect world
claim that these billions of creatures
threaten mans supremacy. There are so
many things threatening us now
adays that maybe just a few bill
lions more, and all of them rela-
lively small, may not strike us at
hrst as any great danger. When we see
what few moths can do to an old coat,
however. we may agree with the sci
entists that we had better get busy with
the spray gun and the soap and water.
Steady application of the foot, too, is
good. Even the mildest person may be
cruel in this way without feeling SOUL
hurt. In this day of rampant cruelty.

This way. one need not call in experts.

ings have been given against those who
may set themselves up as termite eradi-
Gators.

claims.
DO not be stampeded into q lot Of
costly work by those Of whom you are
not sure.
Some flying insects that many people
think are termites are no such things
Careful eradication of the flying forms
will save lot Of trouble. and perhaps
expense.
Be sure that no wood touches the.
ground, If this is possible.
Those flying forms seeking water in
the basement give the tip-off.
These insects need moisture. and so
build mud tunnels up basement walls.
Inspection should be made yearly In

Immediately follow; that is. what would
you do? Would you continue the So

II you would not continue this Limited

You cannot answer Mr.. Marlow's

first. The tragedy is that the powers

the Importance of such collections to the Nation
Similarly intimate materials of American history

ancestors at Quincy had been conveyed to public
trust with practically all their contents What
she had in her possession at Warrenton, Vir-
ginia, she decided, should be deposited in the

national value, and she has placed it here in
the Federal City on that particular account.

mems of the entire accumulation. portrait of
President John Adams by Gilbert Stuart is per-
haps the prize piece in the show. 1t depicts the
second Chief Magistrate when he was 88, and
when the artist himself no longer was young.
But it is master-achievemen of delineation,
and no one who sees it ever is likely. to forget
its beauty and power. But the pictures of the
junior members of the family also are fascinat-
ing. The likeness of President John Quincy
Adams by Peter Won Huffel, painted at Ghent
in 1915, is revelation to visitors to the museum
who commonly think of the subject only as he
was when he was very old.

go for salary raises and for the hiring Of 100
