Some Washingtonians are convinced that if Mr. Coolidge cuts dut the pa- rades and the fireworks this year there may never be a return to the céromonies of the past. After two Presidents had called for a simple oath taking ceremonies, chief execus tives of the future might hesitats to révert to a day of jubllation lest they be considered vainglorious. Tt {s feit that Mr. Coolldge above all others could agres to the old-time inaugura- tion without engendering any such opinion of himself in any quarter. The President is (o be told that Presidents of the past have felt the day Delonged to the people rather than to themselves and that if the people chose to celebrats the advent of a new presidential term, nothing should be put in their way.

The one ofcer will devots his entire attention to pedestrians and call to the attention of those who fail to move with the vahicular sema- rhore, and run in and out of maving traffic, the danger they place them- selves in through cheer negligence. The original plan for the b- lshment of this school had antlei- pated having at least two policeman at the corner to handle tie pedes- trians, and possibly four. The latter would have made it possible to sta- tion an officer at puch curbstone and compel the strollers to stay within the limits of safety, whether they Itked it or not. | Gets One Day Off.

Motorists Break Law. One foature of the new enforcement of the whistle regulation that has been called to the attention of Tha tar is the fact that many motorists Tiava not yet learned fo obey the law Many times, remembering the old way of regulating traffic, they start for- ward at the first blast of the whistle and crowd up 1o the hurrying pedes- { trians befora tha latter havo a fair chancé to reach points of satety. Warning has been issued that un- loas there ix 5 sudden cessation in this practice drastic acticn will have to be taken to mpress upon the minds of the motorists that the police department intends o enforce the laty to the limit of its ability.
