Police and Traffic ourts. ‘The Star's Safety Solution Pledge | should be signed, and obeyed, by | every automobile driver in the Dis- trict of Columbia. It contains all the cardinal safety rules and if observed would make Washington the model no-ac- cident city. They are practical and predicated upon the = proposition that ‘violations of any pne, or more, of - them would imevitably result 1 “disaster. Why many drivers, with their personal knowl- | egge of and by reference to the sickening statistics of death and in- jurfes, are persistent in violating such simple rules is a mystery psycholo- gists have not as yet fathomed I believe, however, that with an efficient organization such as The Btar Safety Council, persistent agita- tion and constant education, bene- ficial results will be attained. If not, we must resort to strict punitive measures The spontaneous manner in which pledges are being signed by individual drivers, and groups of drivers, augurs well for its success, and will per- haps make Washington safety traffic congcious +I’ congratulate The Star upon its inauguration of this great public | séryice. and trust that it will con- | tinue its efforts in this respect. until deaths and injuries autpmobile accidents will be the ex- cepiion, and not the rule.

Don't drive to the left;| always drive to the right, keep to the right; if you get to the left you're to the wrong and you can't start wrong | and end right.

Above all things be careful with your brakes, and again, be courteous and consid- erate of others, Pilgrim. This is the Safe Driving Pledge put out by the Safety Council of The Evening Star.

Urges All to Sign. My Dprecious ones, hundreds of tnousands of people in the past two vears have lost their lives by careless- ness of men and women who drive the highways. Something must be done must be done.

It would be mighty nice if you could commit them to memory and as you drive the road repeat them: it may prolong your life, it may prolong another’s life; it won't hurt you. Amen. You can get these safety-driving pledge cards from the Safety Council of The Evening Star, and will you kindly get one, and if you have one offered please don't just sign it, but remember that it is your duty. * ox ok % Do not forget, my folks, you can't run over people and then see God: TRICO Radiator Covers PREVENT SMUDGE.

Look out, taxi driver! Be careful! Stop! Halt! pon't drive so fast! You've got vour radio on listening and you are not careful. Every taxi driver in the city, we want you to get one of these Evening Star safe-driving pledges and try not for 20 cents, but to drive your passenger safe. Ain't you got no sense? When you wreck your car and kill youf passenger you can't collect. Drive carefully. I know that you are speeding up and you're running and somebody waves their | hand out and calls, you and you stop | all at once for fear that somebody who is driving another taxi behind you may get the passenger, but don't kill two or three folks to get 20 cents. Slow down gradually, extend out a signal and let the man behind you know that you are stopping, and if you will do that you will be a real taxi driver. Don't forget now, taxi boys, drive carefully, you may hit El- der Michaux. Oh, my; yes sir. So many people are being run over now that that is why this pledge is being offered, that men and women might sign them and stop running over men. And I'm going to say to each of you this morning as you listen to this service, to please take it in and re- member that to destroy life is to com- | mit a sin, whether you intend to do it or not, and let us be able to say as| we go along, because of this one thing | in this particular line, “My sins have been taken away. My sins, my trans- | gressions of the law, have been taken away.” Now I promised to preach this morn- ing a little sermon on safety, and I em going to take a text that is very peculiar, but the Bible takes care of everything. ok This message has come to you this morning through the courtesy of Sta- | tion WJSV and of The Evening Star Council of Safety, which has said, if we only save one life, one life, one life, one life by this safety drive. add, has said, “What will a man give in exchange for his life?” While life is sweet, if men and women do not sweet to them as yours is to you, you are not a Christian, you are not a citizen, you are not a gentleman, you are not a lady, you are a brute! Re- member that God's word is right and | it is sent to you to give you light. Cites Genesis 4:9. Now listen. in Genesis, I want you to see something, I want you to un-| | derstand the fourth chapter and the | ninth verse. A lot of people think | that all they have got to do is to look out for themselves and let the other ! fellow look out for himself, but you are mistaken, the Bible don't teach that way, the Bible teaches that you look out for the other fellow and he | looks out for you; that is the way the Bible teaches, that is the way God's word commands men and women to do. Don't look out for yourself; look out for your brother. The Book tells us, Genesis 4th chapter, and read- Signal for Protection BY WILLIAM A. VAN DUZER, Director of Vehicles and Traffic.

Each da I am going to state COLBY RECALLS LEGION SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT '!ormer Secretary of State Makes No Comment in Canceling Address. BY the Associated Press NEW YORK, September 16.—Baine briefly the reasons for one of these regulations and why it should be observed. 6. SIGNAL BEFORE TURNING OR STOPPING. This regulation is for your protection and the protection of other motorists. There is generally better observance of this rule during the Summer months when the majority of motorists drive with their win- dows down than in the colder weather. Always remember that you are absolutely wrong if you have a collision and do not give proper signal. This does not mean a throwing mo- tion of your hand and then to directly make a change in your direction, but stick your hand out far enough in advance of making the turn for the car behind you to know that you intend to change your direction. This is a simple and safe rule to follow. 1 ing, please, if you will, the 9th verse, | you will find these words, these are| the words of God: “And he said, What | hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood cries unto me from the ground.” When you run into & human being, shed his blood by your carelessness, spill it upon the ground, God asks you the question as he asked Cain the question: “What have vyou done? What have you done by your care- ! lessness? What have you done by | your thoughtlessness? What have you done by your ruthlessness? The blood, the blood, the blood, the blood of your brother, your brother, cries unto me from the ground.” May I say to you, my precious ones, sometimes we have these hit-and-run drivers that are careless of how they drive and then less careful about what | they have done when they have hit and run. Listen, may I say to you, you can't run away from it: the blood of that one whom you have upset | may be upon the ground and the body may be lifeless, but God says the blood talks, the blood talks, and in | the judgment, in the judgment, your | deed will meet you there. Hear me, the context reads like this in the 8th verse: “And the Lord said unto Cain, Wanted. small ground-floor between K street and Dupent C Connectiest al HILL REALTY AGENCY 1216 18th St. N.W.
