But how much do we really do to make people remembder Washing- ton? Mutual admiration gatherings are truly wonderful; we get up and pat each othgs on the back and tell how we love the dewr old place; we tear off a few flowery mouihings. and then we go back to our desk the next day with the feeling of having boost- ed the grand old place, but the fact remains that we have done nothing except tell the other fellgw what he wanted to tell us. The other evening. while watching a traffic officer keep his eye on the vehicles that were go- ing out 16th street, 1 thought that it Wwis an excellent opportunity his viewpoint on things generally and traffic matters more particularly, and during the course of the conversation he sald: “This trafflc situation is ¢4 serious one, Lut one that I think will be worked out all right in the end.

Let us stop for u moment and think of th causes, a gencrai indifference as to the rights of others, a spirit of let the other fellow take care of himself and a surliness on the part of some who want to hog the streets. The motorists are, =s a rule, a careful lot of individuals, the pedestrians are in the same class, but we have some drivers and some walkers that are not only careless, but they exhibit a spirit that should be curbed and |curbed permanently, by Imprison- ment if necessary.

Judge Gary on Wages. In testimony before the Federal Trade Commission, Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, announced his belief that with the present high cost of living wages cannot be brought down. That this is not merely an amiable theory is attested by the fact that thie inter- ests which he directs recently made 2 voluntary" increase in wages. Judge Gary asserts at the same time that the Steel Corporation is not mak- ing money, but he looks forward to better conditions in the not distant future. When the steel industry is operating at full capacity, with a ready market for its products, it can both make a profit and pay good wages, but it cannot do both on less than maximum output. And so, for the time being, profits will have to go in order that wages may be main- tained. of suffrage. Men and women entitled to vote keep a2 man or a woman at home on election day.

Thus we find the ) Haven Register expressing the be- lief that “probably a mood many women would maintain that if there hadn’t been *any men there would have been no occasion for the Ten Commandments,” for, the Milwaukee Sentinel contends, the exell*)!lnll of women from the applicatioh of the decalogue *“was due, not as Col. Har- vey thinks, to the fact that women have no souls, but to the fact that editorials are being o they do not need the Ten Command- | ments. Laws are given omly when the necessity for them aris and while the decalogue was ‘‘necessary. heaven knows, to keep men within 1imits.” the only obligation of women toward it is “simply to see that the men obey it.” Another Milwaukee paper. the Journal. thinks Harvey's philosophy will be ‘“news to the world,” and “more than that, news to the women.” who have been going ong “thinking that they must not swear or steal or bear false witness or covet,” when “all the time they didn’t need to do it because the dec- alogue applies ‘exclusively to men. But “a speclal female decalogue such as the ambassador proposes” would, the New Orleans Times-Picayune holds, ‘“be more difficult to write than a new stato constitution, and the chain of amendments sure to be grafted on the original text very soon would cause the document to ri#l the una- bridged dictionary in stze.” b Distressing as the amabassador’s ad- dress may have been, it was not, the New Orleans Item contends, “an asser- tion that the ladies lack souls.

This can be done by the an- nual, simultaneous and universal ob- servance of Armistice day by “the two minutes’ silence.” a plan involv- ing little organization. practically no expense and one which is being in- dorsed by all countries and many creeds. A beginning was made in 1919, when the two minutes silence was solemnly and beautifully observed in Great Britain, also in every British dominion and on every vessel flying the whits ensign.
