PARKING BAN ASKED
TO PROMOTE SAFETY
Dahlgren Terrace Citizens Act to
Protect Children on Way
to School.
Demanding more adequate protec
tion for children on their way to
school, the Dahlgren Terrace Citizens’
Association at Its monthly meeting
last night directed a letter to the
director of traffic asking that parking
on Tenth street northeast, between
Rhode Island avenue and Evarts
street, be limited to the east side.
Members of the association were of
a unanimous opinion that prohibition
of parking on the west side of Tenth
street would enable the children to
cross safely despite the fact that
there is no light or officer to regulate
the unusually heavy traffic In that
area.
Mrs. J. Q. Kingsbury, chairman of
the School Committee, was instructed
to notify the proper public authorities
of the need for the construction of
an additional unit to the Crosby S.
Noyes School, as provided for In the
original plans. It was pointed out
that although the school is taxed
beyond its capacity at present, addi
tional students will be sent to use
its facilities as soon as the Franklin
street underpass is completed.
TO form a plan of reorganization
for the association, under the direc
tion of the president, John P. Cahill,
a committee consisting of C. T. Sher
man, J. E. Biddle, Mrs. William H.
Luers and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Kings
bury was appointed.
Pidgin-English Expressive.
Chinese pidgin-English can be most
expressive and sometimes shocking to
our ear, as is this description of a
bishop: "No. 1 piecee joss-pidgin
man”; literally, "God’s chief man of
business”.
‘OUTDRIVING’ LIGHTS
CAUSE OF CRASHES
No Car Head Lamps Warrant
Speeds Over 50 M. P. H.,
Safety Expert Says.
High speed and Inadequate lighting
are responsible for a major part of
the Nation’s tremendous highway
death toll, according to a report to
the National Accident Prevention
Conference from its Subcommittee on
Causes and Remedies.
A large majority of the 36,000 an
nual fatalities are due to accidents
at night in rural sections, It was re
ported. Most of these accidents are
due to motorists driving faster than
their lights warrant, it was said by
Labert St. Clair, director of the con
ference.
"There are no automobile head-1
lights today which warrant speeds of
more than 50 miles per hour, St. Clair
said. “When a motorist passes that
speed at night he is outdriving his
lights and courting accident.”
In some sections, the subcommittee
reported, liquor is a factor in the
accident toll. The group reported,
however, that "it is only fair to state
1 that there is no evidence pointing to
drunken driving being materially on
the Increase.”
Eepeal Supply-Demand Law.
It may sound like Action, but it
actually happened a few years ago in
Mexico, as it does in every country
when a revolution pushes to the top
men who have little or no understand
ing of statecraft. At a convention,
after one of those numerous Mexican
revolutions, a certain law was being
argued, and one speaker claimed it
interfered with the law of supply and
demand. "Then we will repeal the
law of supply and demand!” hotly
1 shouted a new young legislator.
Had Great Foresight.
Harriet Martineau, 1802-1876, was
an English writer of great power and
noble purposes. “The World,” she
concluded In one of her last books,
"as it is, is growing somewhat dim be
fore my eyes, but the world as it is to
be, looks brighter every day.”
