These | are the views, not alone of the police and traffic anthoriti » of city | merchants, motor dealers and man- | ufacturers.

It was for that Tie Star had printed in its columns—and also in card form for general distribution— a condensed version of the traffic laws There is a fecling shared by traffic officials and experienced motorists that careful study of either the con- densed version or the complete resu- Jations themselves is the only way in which conditions can be bettered. Not | alone do traflic officials and the police of Washington have to combat grow- ing recklessness, but at the same time they ure face to face with another | condition—apparent ignorance of even the most basic of our traffic ‘aws, Assuredly, the maip body of Wash- ington motorists is meithe’ reckless nor ignorant of the regulatydns which have been tet up to goverr the oper- ation of motor vehicles anf to muke the streets safe for all. But, on the other hand, there is a distinct group, and it is larger and npop¢ active than is at all good for the community as a whole; which cares nothing for the rights or the lives of.others, and which blissfully but ‘ dangerously flaunts its ignorance of the- regula- tions. Therein lies d-grave danger, one which the public as a whole must recognize. » Sense of Justice Warped. As pointed out by a speaker at the Jast national safety gonference, there are in every larde cit{” motorists as well as operators of eemmercial ve- hicles—and the one alternately imi- | tates the other's evil habits—who seemingly are utterly impervious to all intelligent reasoning. Their sense of justice and decency,-this authority declared, 1s warped to an alarming e: tent. No appeal seems to make any impression on these person=s to whom pedestrians and fellow motérists alike | are legitimate objects of prey ‘While Washington like every other large city harbors too many of this | type, it also has among its thousands of drivers, traffic officials say, many whose intentions are good, but who simply have procrastinated in the mat- ter of acquiring a full and complete | working knowledge of the newer regu- Jations. They mean well, conduct themselves well for the most part, but | occasionally display some ting piece of ignorance which may the most unfortinate . consequences Thorough perusal of the regulations | on their part is suggested as the effec- tive way to alleviate a tangled situa- | tion. Uppermost in the motorist, one observer decla be the thought that he m pattern after which some other driv: either of a commercial vehicle or pas- | senger automobile, is shaping his own | driving habits. Ripping along at 35 | miles an hour where the speed limit | 18 22 mav mean stepping up the speed | of an entire line of cars to that point, 80 strong is the power of suggestion. Let one motorist cut a corner, and fmmediately his calculated mistake is ted those behind. It means ting up of a vicious and a dan: that v or mind of every es, should gerous defies the ru gl are the result of long study is doubly a menace | If the growing list of fatalities and dents in Washington is to be cu tailed, and is the streets and boule- vards of the ) ions pital are to | be made truly safe, traffic authorities | believe that emphasis must be placed | on a knowledge of the regulations. | Where gross ignorance is reveale they feel that summary action should be taken. Traffic regulation cannot suc- ceed unless they are understood, and | they cannot be understood unless they are given at least « much considera- tion as one casually gives to an inter- | esting piece of fiction, MOTION PIéTURE DEAL REPORTED UNDER WAY Durant and Tobacco Magnate De- clared Prospective Owners of Universal Firm. | ms which d careful .

She charged that her dead hushand had fired the first shot in the fatal affray and that Beadle had fired the two shots from the shotgun that killed him. Beadle, in a confession made public vesterday, charged that Dr. Dreher had done the actual killing. Mrs. Lebouef also admitted that she | had written a note asking Dr. Dreher | to meet her and her husband and “gettle this mbtter peaceably.” The matter was the alleged love affair be- tween Dr. Dreher and Mrs. Lebouef. | which the State charges was the cause of the shooting. Mrs. Lebouef told | Dr. Dreher in the note that she was | “tired of having Jim (her husband) saying that he will kill us.” ‘According to present plans, several more witnesses will be put on before Dr. Dreher takes the stand.
