They Should Be Held Accountable

Inc SOUND principle LnaC MOTORISTS SnOulQ
be held accountable for the personal injuries
and property damage their automobiles may do
others underlies Traffic Director Keneipps pro-
posal for more effective
law in Washington. The present law has proved
ineffective in protecting victims Of some reckless
and irresponsible motorists. It has very serious
loophole which would be plugged up If legisla-
tion recommended by Mr.. Keneipp and tenta-
lively Endorsed by the Commissioners were
adopted.
The present law prevents the Traffic Direc-
tor from cracking down on financially irrespon-
sible drivers in ordinary accidents until the
drivers have been held in default Of Judgment
by court. The trouble with this plan is that
victims of accidents are reluctant to 60 to the
expense of suing person known to be without
liability insurance or the means otherwise Of pay
ing damages. AS the Traffic Director pointed out,
'if you find the other fellow doesn't have dime,
your time and money will be wasted when
you've got the Judgment you can't do anything
with it," In many such cases. he said, the drivers
at fault go scot-free. Since they have nothing
to lose, they are more apt to continue their
recklessness and to cause other injuries and
damage In the more serious cases. Of course
those involving conviction for drunken driving,
leaving after colliding or reckless driving-per-
mits may be revoked.
Under the proposed change in the law, the
Traffic Director would have authority to suspend
driving privileges Of motorists who fail to estab-
lish financial responsibility after being in an
accident causing more than $50 damage to
another car. The privileges would remain re-
voked until such time as responsibility could
be established either through liability insurance
or posting of appropriate security. Motorists
whose cars caused personal injury or more than
$50 property damage would be required to report
the facts promptly. Both parties to such acci-
dents thereupon would be required to show that
they were financially able to take care of possible
liability claims.
The amendment advocated by Mr.. Keneipp
is not new except to the District and few other
jurisdictions. Most other States have similarly
broad financial-responsibili statutes. Washing
ton should not lag in any move that will in
crease the responsibility Of automobile drivers
on the public streets.

Bridge

A bridge that casrves 0boUe a stream

Is Just the place to span a dream
And match for changing iDeather.

And earth and sky are blended.

ChrySanthemum,

To Americans, the Chrysanthe-
mum is the symbol of gayety ano
joy. The handsome blossom figures
in weddings, football games and or
many other jovial occasions.
What would the autumn land
scape be without these many col
ored brilliant blossoms. 1t has been
claimed that this flower is China's
most glorious gift to the world.
Yen Shu ian official in 1O42 AID;
is said to have written: "Chrys-
anthemums vie with each other in
yielding their sweet fragrance. The
weather tells us that the ninth
month is approaching"
Fifteen hundred years ago Tao
ch'ien CAD. 1865 -42D, a Chinese
poet, refused the honor of being q
magistrate so that he could re-
tire to his beloved garden and per-
feet the cnrysanthemum. The gor-
geous blossoms we enjoy today are
the direct result of his work. AT
that time this plant was a wayside
weed. Millions grew in hill and
dale. But this man believed he
could do something great with the
|wildling and did.

ing. There are few gardens in
China without the colorful chrys-
anthemum. The plants are ten
derly cared for and an insect Oh
bug has small chance of making
headway in Chinese flower gordon
We name our spectacular blooms
after famous people or fashion a
title. The Chinese have such names
as Crimson Pearl, Golden Hook

1t was left to the imaginative
Chinese to incorporate the petals
into a special exotic concoction,
very expensive, very popular. The
basis of the dish is Steaming chicken
soup, brought to the table boiling
hot. Paper-thin slices of chicke1

spinach and cabbage are added to
the soup, stirred and let simmer

In today's deal Mr.. Masters
couldn't possibly win three heart
tricks. He had one loser in the
suit no matter how he played it..
He decided to let the enemy win
the very first lead of that suit
and that turned out to be the key
play on the hand.
Mrs Keen led the queen of clubs
and her partners king held the first
trick. The nine of clubs was re-
turned and Mr.. Masters ducked this
also, Mrs. Keen winning with the
ten and leading q third round of
the suit. This Mr.. Masters had to
win and Mr. Abel discarded small
heart.
ttne suit NOuUttu.
That was one suit Counted-MrS.
Keen started with five clubs and
Mr.. Abel with two.
There were only eight tricks in
sight and the ninth one was pos
sible either in spades or diamonds.
At trick four Mr.. Masters led a
small diamond and put in dummy's
ten. Mr.. Abel won with the jack
and returned the queen of hearts.
Here Mr.. Masters made his key
play. He let Mr. Abel win. Another
heart was led and dummy's ace won
Now the king of diamonds was
casned and another diamond led to
the ace. No luck Mrs. Keen
showed out on the third diamond
lead, discarding club.
Accounts For Another.
Well, anyway, that was another
suit counted. Mrs Keen had started
with two diamonds and Mr.. Abel
with four.
Mr.. Masters next laid down his
king of hearts and when Mrs. Keen
showed out of this suit, too. drop
ping another club, the whole hand
was crystal clear.
Mrs. Keen was known to have
started with five clubs and two
cards in each of the red suits.
Therefore. she had to have exactly
four spades.
Led Spade Ace.
Therefore. Mrs. Masters led to
the ace of spades and back to the
king, in case one of Mr.. Abel's two
spades was the jack.
Then he led a third spade and
finessed dummys ten. certain it
would win. The queen of spades
furnished the ninth trick.
Note that If Mr.. Masters had won
the first heart he could not have
developed this accurate count with
out risk. 1t was the lead of the
third round Of hearts which fur
nished the final clue to Mrs. Keen's
distribution.

How To Eliminate Eyesores
Did you ever plant a picture?

Did you ever plant a picture?
If you haven't, you may want to join the increas-
ing thousands who this summer will "put a picture in a
picture window" Home owners are learning how to
eliminate eyesores outside their windows by replacing
them with scenes of natural beauty.
It's not necessary to be a gardening Rembrandt to
perform miracles with flowers, shrubs and trees, accord
ing to Mary Lamson, one of the nations foremost
landscape architects. In her capacity of consultant, she
has designed six basic plans for improving ordinary
homesites.
By correct use of greenery, it's possible to convert
your yard into a private park, she points out. You can
screen off an eye-offending view of a neighbours garage,
blot out traffic ON a busy street or eliminate other un-
pleasant scenes. Landscaping also can assure privacy and
provide children a safer place to play.
Not only do such picture planting improve the out
look of any home, but they enhance the value Of the
property and make a whole neighborhood a more de-
sirable place in which to live.

Worm In The Big Red Apple

One of the best editorials on the latest attempt Of
the Office Of Price Sterilization control meat prices ap-
peared in the Baltimore Sun. Here, in part, is what that
paper said:
"Mr. DiSalle's decision to put ceilings on the prices
packers can pay for beef is sound in technical economic
logic. But unless Mr.. Disable can decrease the pressure
of inflationary buying power against his price ceilings in
beef, he is in for a black market in beef.
eff there is a rising demand for beef at prices
above the control level, there will be cattle producers who
supply beef at above-ceiling rates. This is all the more
true because an impending grain shortage will boost the
price of raising beef.
'"The way to be sure that all cattle producers sell
cattle at the ceiling rates is to be sure that consumers
purchasing power is pulled down to the level where
people will tend to offer for beef no more than the cell
ing price. This would require drastic wage controls and
drastic taxes, draining purchasing power away from mass
consumers. Unless the government cuts purchasing power
at the same time as it imposes ceilings, the uncontrolled
purchasing power will blow the ceilings off in all always
holder black market.
"Always there is a worm in the big red apple of
economic planning"
That neatly and accurately sums up the meat
situation in particular and the whole confused price con-
troll situation in general. We're still dealing with the SYM
ptoms of initiation instead of the cause-and he seem to
be getting nowhere fast.
