. D. C. Traffic Troubles Cause Increasing i Time Has Come for Menace to Life Careful Analysis of | Situation and Speedy Action to Remedy Dangerous ‘Conditions. TY THEODORE P. NOYES. The traffic situation in the District of Columbia has reached the acute stage. Congress, the Commissioners, the police department and the public are vitally interested. The time has arrived for a careful and sane analysis of the situatlion. Nothing. can be accomplished with- a thorough and painstaking study. Tt does not help any to shrug vour shoulders and say “all accl- dents are caused by the speeding au- tomobiles,” and it does not help any to assert that “pedestrians are re- sponsible for all accidents—they are ualways In the wa; These are the utterings of those who have given lit- tle thought to the matter, who refuse to go below the surface.' If they are pedestrians, the first explanation suffices and satisfles; and if they are motorists, it {s the other way around. No one can afford to be blind to th vresent situation. It is real and Yital—it concerns erey one of us—and 1t deservi the carerful consideration of every ngressman, Cominissioner, |holbk'-' official and of the interested public. ov raffic Hyateria. Along with .the steady increase in 2ceidents has come the agitation. This is a fine thing; it makes people tink; but in the ‘present case it is Tesulting in.a gort,of “trafic hys- eria,” which does no good and which 2 no way solves'the’ problem. Accidents in which an automoblle @aud pedestrian are involved are caused in many ways. Speed is em phatically not the cause of all acc as many persons would have Us bellove. Speed is the most dan- gerous. It is certainly the most Tatal But it is not the sole reason for the increase of fatalities. There zre a number of contributing cau Recklessness probably ranks 1he highest. And in this connection should be pointed out that reck- s and speed can be two en- tirely different things. A motorist can be reckless and still not be speed- ing. and likewise he can be speeding, in the accepted sehse of the word, and not be reckless. instance, a motorist pushing crowded intersection, where lkers have the right of way, with- ut oming to an almost complete . would not be speeding, but he d certainly be reckless. turning it the other ¥ if a competent driver was ing out Massachusetts avenue, vrith no traflic to hinder him, at per- haps twenty miles an hour, he would be speeding, but it could not be called ccklossness any stretch of the imagination. These two causes have been covered. Recklessness should be punished wherever found and flagrant cases of speeding, where conditions warrant. should be likewis punished. Jatl ntences should be meted out when motorist is gullty of either of these two violations, if it can be proved 1hat he was endangering life In doing so. - Incompetent Drivers. This s where the traffic “hysteria” i3 beginning to assert itself. Judges being urged to send every one to jail, regardless of the offense; so that the man who drives carefully, but at a mile or two over the limit on s just as culpable as the man who §mashes through crowd- ed streets, “hogs” the road and en- dangers the life of not only motorists, Tut pedestrians. There s a vast dif- jorence and it is hoped that circum- siances and conditions will be taken into consideration when penalties are meted out. ow, for some of the other con- uting causes. Next to reckle: ness comes incompetence. Incompe- tence includes those drivers who are easily “rattled” and who are all hands and legs the minute an emergency presents itself. It also includes bad indgment of distance. which is one the most prolific causes for acei- ts of all deseriptions. The incompetent should never be @llowed to drive an automobile.

It s a safely measure the value of which . cannot be overestimated. Driving a car does not consist of merely shifting gears, throwing out the clutch, stopping and starting. A driver In present-day traffic must be able not only to do these things, but he must remaln cool, have his car under perfect control at all times, and, above all, use a nicety of judg- ment in steering which will keep him out of danger. Incompetent Drivers. < There are many people who seem to be good drivers, they seem to be able to handle automobiles perfectly | until they get Into a jam. Then they | are flustéred, they choke their motor, their heart seems to be coming out of their mouth, and in these cases, they are the potential causes of ac- cidents. Judgment of distance is one of the most important qualifications of an | { automobile driver. He must be able | to judge whether or not he can pass | another” car with safety, he must be jable to judge how long”it takes his | jbrakes ‘to bring him to a_ stop. Whether or noda pedestrian will pa: in front or back of him, and man other driving problems which come up during a day. { | These things can and should be regulated at thelr source. If this sort of driver is allowed to handle an au- tomobile, nothing In the world will bring down the toll of accidents. ext we can take up skidding, ! which in many cases results fatally for both motorists and pedestrians. Chains should be used In zll cases where a shows a tendency to skid on a lication of the brakes. Some cars are well balanced, the brakes are djusted properly, and the driver is abie to keep them under control on ! ralny streets. There is no combina- | tion"of these things, however, which | Wil keep a car from skidding on |streets covered with snow. ! Many drivers do not take this fact {inte consideration and car after car goes by without the semblance of chains. * It is impossible to stop them Quickly and the driver is guilty of | negligence. Ot course, in some cases skidding wwill cccur even If the car is equipped |with chains, but it carefully driven this is unlikely. Skidding ranks among the leaders in causes of accl- dents. Night Driving Dangerous. Night driving in Washington is hazardous in the extreme. There are two reasons for this. One is the poorly lighted streets, where pedes- trians are almost invisibl and the other {s the prevalence of side-cur- tained cars. Clear and uninterrupted vision cannot be obtained by thel driver with all of his side curtains up. The left-front curtain should be left down, not only for signaling, but for | the sake of cear vision. Isinglass is not as clear as plain glass. It soon becomes discolored. Drivers arte taking needless risk when { they attempt to operate cars with |8i8Rt obstructed, especially in view ot he fact that the streets of the city are so dark that it is almost tm-| possible to distinguish unlighted ob- Jects. And in this connection it may stated that driving with the wind- shicld shut on rainy nights is just as reckless, just as careless and just as liable to cause accidents as any of the others. There is no windshield wiper made which adequately clears | the windshield. Many, of them brush the rain off a small space, which is nothing more than a peephole for the driver, but do not clear the entire shield, which for safe driving should be clear. A loud chorus .of dissent will be heard after reading this statement and a typical one will be given. The writer, n talking with another mo- torist, ‘pointed out that many drivers endeavored to sneak along without opening the shiled, and callcd atten- tion to the -increase in_accidents on rainy nights. Many Take Chances. “I'll admit,” said the other, “that it is difficult 'to see out of a rain- blurred windshield, but you don't think I'm going to open it, do you? Not on your life. I might catch a bad cold from the wet weather.” It is hard to believe,.but it is true. A great many motorists would rather take the chance of killing or maim- ing a pedestrian or colllding with another car than take a chance of catching cold. Every one will admit that the large taxicab companies, the well organ- ized and reliable ones, take precau- tions for safety. Taxicabs are th ifirst ones to put on chains at signs lof slippery weather, and they are the |first ones to do away with makeshifts and open their windshields on rainy nights, o that they cannot only stop, but see where they are going. This, of course, does not apply to the free lances, the public hackers We now have the reckiess driver, the speedy driver, the easily rattled, the incompetent, the careless, the one who skids, the one who is comfort- able but a menace, the one who does ! not care whether his brakes will stop him or not and the one who takes unnecessary chances. All of them cause the accidents, not any particu- lar class. If a careful study of every accldent were made it would be found that the reasons for the accidents would be widely distributed among theso drivers. It would be found also that accidents in which the auto- mobile was traveling at excessive speed are in_the minority. Poor brakes would be found to be a pro- lific cause. Now we come to the pedestrian. He is the weaker and deserves all the sympathy and care. He comes out the loser in every accident—he is the one' idjured. But the pedestrian must have some responsibility. He is a potential mo- torist, and, inasmuch as motoring is a sign of the progress of the times, he must advance also. He cannot wan- der around the streets the way he used to do before the advent of the motor car. There 15 no motorist who would de- Iiberately injure or kill a_pedestrian, unless he ls a criminal of the worst sort or a fugitive from justice. The type of motorist who is careless and needlessly endangers the lives of those walking should never be grant- ed a permit. Jealousy of Walkers. All right. The pedestrian, therefore, should co-operate as much as he can with the motorist. He should not step out behind parked cars without } looking; he should not be deflant and | rdare the motorist to come near him; he should not make matters more difficult than they now are for the driver. There 18 too much enmity and jeal- ousy between the walking and riding classes. They should be eliminated. Conslderation {s necessary on both sides if autcmobiles and pedestrians are to continue as users of the streets. And now we have arrived at traffic regulations. ~ Washington {s un- fortunate. It has no representation in Congress. The things it needs most are delayed until matters reach a_serious point. H ‘Washington has now reached that} point. There are not enough police- nen here to enforce the regulations.

TITLE “PRINCE” IS GIVEN Child Not to Be Called "Boyall Highness,” Being the Som | of Viscount. | By the Associated Press, | LONDON, February 8.—King George | and Queen Mary are grandparents| today, and Britaln rejolces with them. A son was born last evening to Princess Mary, the wife of Vis-| count Lascelles. H The title “prince” has already| made Ssomething of a stir. All the morning newspapers “made over’ to announce his arrival in the largest type they possessed Plctures of all the family are printed, together with | the minute detalls of the life his-| tory of the baby's parents and their | parents One newspaper devotes | much space to a geneclogical treel showing the descent of the prince on | both sides of the family from King Henry VIL Showered With Congratulations. The king and queen are being showered with congratulations upon the arrival of their first grandchild, and as much excitement is being as was caused by Princess | marriage a little less than | a year ago. The newspapers, however, know their public, and it may be said safe- ly that for one person today whoi reads about the Ruhr and the Amer- | ican debt one hundred will peruse every inch of space devoted to the infant. “There never will be a royal baby in whom greater interest will be taken,” says one paper. “Probably this is not far from the truth.” Princess Mary's child will not be called “royal highness” for that title, by decree of the king, is now confined to the children of a sov- erelgn or a soverelgn's sons. Only the children and grandchildren of a! British king may be called “prince” and “princese.” | The marriage of Princess Mary, daughter of the king and queen’ of England, to Viscount Lascelles took | place at Westminster Abbey on Feb- ruary 28 last vear. The wedding was made the occasion of a regal cere-| mony, in which all the world was in- ted. e Princess Mary was the first of the children of King George and Queen Mary to marry and this is the first grandchild of the British royal house. EXAMINATION DATE SET. | Teachers Will Try for Promotion | on February 17 at Franklin School. j An examination for grade nchoall teachers, candidates for promotion to positions in_the junior high schools, will be held at the Franklin School February 17, it was announced today by Superinténdent Ballou. A similar examination also will be held June 2. The names of those teachers who sucessfully complete the second ex- amination will be merged with the names of those who have been placed on the eligibility 1ist as a result of the first examination and appoint- ments after July 1, will be made in! order from the merged list. The examinations will be held, Dr. Eallou sald, in accordance with the plan for promotion to the junior high schools, at elementary school salarles. | the teachers in class 4 and 5 now regularly employed in the schools,of the District. — chusetts avenue should be policed the same W More Police Needed. Pedestrians have a legitimatc com- plaint when they say that they can- not get across busy streets on account of the constant flow of cars. If these cars were controlled they would have an opportunity. It is almdst impossible to cross Broadway in New York even as far out as 110th street. There is the same constant flow of traffic. A pe- destrian would be foolish to try to get across without waiting for a ces- sation of traffic. So that, first of all, we need many more policemen here 'to handle auto- ‘miobile: ‘There will be fewer acci- dents and less ranting from walkers if_we have them. Congress 1s very much aroused over conditions here. Let it get to the bottom of the matter, which is not not able to enforce the present regu- lations, Officers should be stationed at inter- vals on all busy streets, even in the uptown section. They should control traffic. _Sixteenth street all the way out to U street should have police- men every few blocks. Auto traffic ) should be stopped so that pedestrians would be able to get across. Massa- more regulation, but more policemen | to save and protect human life and to enforce the regulations we have now. no good to shout torists are murderei 11 pe- destrians are fools!" There may be some of each. ' But {ndiscriminate agi- tation will never cure the traffic evils of the nation’s capital.

There is undoubtedly an explanation of this, but I cannot pretend to fathom it in the space of few short weeks. That woman is' supreme here, hLowever, is im- pressed upon all.

Moreover, no French- man will \deny that the femninine ele- emnt wields power that is seldom | “hallenged In his country. But it is less perceptible than in America. One feels that women rule over here. Not politically—at least | not direotly—and even in the sphere ! of trade and industry I think the | French woman plays a more impor- | tant part than the American woman. | But in everything else woman ap- poars to luy down the law in Amer- 1 the husband—"lord and | master” only in his office and club— brother and often the father, too, are content to obey and accept her sway. An American said to me the other| day: “Women run our homes and many things besides. Boas tn the Home. | “In the house the is boss! For in-| stance. I would never think of taking | a friend home to lunch or dinner | without getting my wife’s approval | first.” He added that he was quite happy and that everything worked smoothly. T do not doubt it. Of course, T am not citing this as an example of abnormal wifely authority. It is merely one among hundreds of re- marks 1 have heard men make in re- | gard to other tpheres where women | reign supreme. American women are. I Ormly belleve. worthy of the power they hold; and in general they appear to exercise it with advantage to all con- cerned. 1 often wonder if T have met the typlcal American women. T shall certainly carry with me vivid impressions of creatures of rare charm and wisdom.. Physically, the American woman as I see her is one of the hand- somest and perhaps one of the most fascinating types I have ever studied. She is visibly healthy and has mental and moral poise. Probably one meets a greater proportion of pretty faces and figures in the streets of New York and other cities of America than in- any other country, although I think that per- fect beauty may be commoner in Lon don and Paris. Superior Intellectuality. Tntellectually the average American woman seems to me to be of a superior order. She s a good conversationalist, with a sparkle peculiar to herself. Often she rises to real brilliancy, despite a tendency to use slang at inappropriate moments. | 1 think T have mentioned In a proviou | article that I consider Americans to be the best talkers in the world. Ameri- can women show remarkable versatility, and they are never dull. Morally they are resourceful, self-reliant and inde- pendent—qualities which should make them ideal companions and “pals” for thelr husbands and brothers and chil- dren, 1 say “should” because I am not sure that they are always such com- panfons. I am not sure that there is not a little selfishness and temper- mental coldness in the American woman which makes her prone to lose too early after marriage much of the interest in her husband and his pursuits which are essential to the harmony of wedded life. And that may be one of the reasons of the growing number of divorces, On the other hand, as I have been privileged to observe, in many homes over here, American women are de- voted to their children and will make and education. Yet, they do not allow their life to absorb all their time and attention as too many Frenchwomen are apt to do. They are eager to keep abreast of developments in art, let- ters and sclence, although, strangel enough, I have mot moticed much feminine interest in politics, notwith. standing that American women oc- cupy government administrative posts which are still closed to women in France. Pleasant fn Conversation. They are -usually ekceedingly well read, and it is always a real pleasure | to talk with them. But are they not inclined to be tyrannic? And ex- travagant? I suppose there is noth- ing really astonishing in careless spendthrift ways of the modern American girl, in a country where every one makes and spends money quickly, yet they did surprise me at rst. I met so many girls and young married women who owned and drove automobiles that T asked one of them how they were able to afford it. “Oh,” she replied, “we business and professional girls all buy cars; we spend all the money we earn.” Westward one meets slightly dif- ferent kind of women—sterner, hard- er, less supple of mind and with a narrower outlook on the world. She is_the type of those left when the tide of settlers flowed still further west.
