BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. N OPEN fire sparkled hospita- bly upon the hearth. The light from & nearby lamp was diffused through a parchment shade upon which there stood out in sharp contrast the notes of a Gre- gorian chant painstakingly traged by some Jong-ago monk exalting the blessed security of his faith in his Creator. Illumined by the blended light of hearth and lamp, the soft gleam of a gold Florentine frame caught the soft radiance and focused it upon an exquisite copy of the “Madonna of the Chain” in glowing color showing the Christ Child held close within the shielding embrace of His mother's arms. Outside in a steady downpour, modern traffic swept by with the cross-glare of motor lights confusedly gleaming on slippery, wind-swept streets as horns honked at passing pedestrians who, with heads Bent under tightly clutched umbrellas, were all too oblivious of. threatening danger. Safety and security were within; the hazard of the night and the atorm and of the city's streets were without. Under such vivid circumstances of contrast in her home on Woodley road last week, Mrs. George C. Thorpe, chairman of the Women's Safety Council of the District of Columbia Motor Club of the Anferican Auto- mobile Association, and I talked over her group's plans toward helping cut with traffic problems during this com- ing season. Because this feminine coterie, scarcely out of its infancy, got off to such a running start of clear plan- ning and definite accomplishment for ‘Washington's traffic needs during the first year of its existence, its imme- diate objectives are of more than usual significance in women's organi- zation work. Session Set October 28. Its opening session will be held at the Sulgrave Club on Wednesday, October 28, at 11 a.m,, to be followed by the usual luncheon. ‘What is the Women's Safety Com- mittee? It's the dream of all clubs come true, for there aren’t any dues and, with the exception of its dynamic, yet tactful and resourceful, chairma; Mrs, Thorpe, there aren't any o ficers. Its membership at the present time consists of 42 women whose names are synonymous with leader- ship in civic, educational and philan- thropic enterprises in the Nation’s Capital. In themselves they consti- tute a representative cross-section of feminine Washington concerning the modern day problems of safety and security of the individual. How they may help to meet the hazards of present-day traffic is one of the ob- jectives to which they are devoting themselves. Among them are Mrs. Wilbur Carr, Mrs. Frederick Brooke, Mrs. Blair Bannistér, Mrs. Arthur H. Vanden- berg, Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, Capt. Rhoda Milliken, Mrs. John H. Davidge, Miss Anne Carter Green, Miss Stella Aiken, Mrs, Ellis A, Yost, Mrs. Lau- rence Hill Green, Mrs. Reginald Huidekoper, Mrs. Wiliam H. King, Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, Mrs. Guy Despard Goff, Mrs. Mark Bristol, Mrs. Walter Tuckerman, Mrs. Patrick Hur- ley, Mrs. Dan I. Sultan, Mrs. Frank C. Baldwin, Mrs. John 8. Bennett, Mrs. Clifford Lee Corbin, Mrs. George Barnett, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, Mrs. Charles L. McNary, Mrs. Sid- ney Taliaferro, Mrs. John J. O'Con- nor, Mrs. Morris S8heppard and Mrs. Merle Thorpe. Queried on Plans. “Under the old sermon plan of firstly, secondly, etc., what have you in mind as the things you would like to do this year?” I asked Mts. Thorpe. Instantly she replied: “Impressed in- dividually and collectively by the tre- mendous hazards which are threat- ening the safety of the childrén of Southwest Washington and the very great number of drownings which re- sulted in this vicinity last Summer because the children without pool fa- cilities were hazarding the treacher- ous depths of the Potomac, we are first going to see whether we can help | to secure a swimming pool and more playgrounds for this vicinity.” “We are seriously going tax-mind- ed,” she continued. “Since women are not only as much affected by all phaseg of taxation as men, but in many cases are the family budgeteers who détermine in great part how the family income 1s spent after the nec- e Columbia- Scheol of COMMERCIAL Cel te 8- MR et lfi‘|.

THORPE. essary tax deductions have been set apart, we are planning to give care- ful consideration to the question of District of Columbia gasoline and mo- tor taxes. Incrgasingly, as the own- ers and drivers of cars, women are becoming acutely aware that the mo- torist as the person easily at hand, is obviously an easy one to tax in any community. So, this particular group is preparing to give serious consider- ation to possible increase in motor vehicle taxes and the justification for the suggested diversion of highway gasoline taxes to general District of Columbia purposes. “With the familiar bugaboo of higher auto taxes looming large as an actual bogle, the Women's Safety Committee is asking searching and pertinent questions as to why Wash- ington residents should have addi- tional taxes on their automobiles when Uncle Sam’'s Federal vehicles are not only tax-exempt but free from re- sponsibility for all damage which his authorized drivers may do to others.” For instance, it was pointed out, & civilian run down and injured by a United States-owned vehicle cannot be awarded hospital care or compen- sation of any nature whatsoever, ex- cept by act of Congress. The records in this connection indicate so few occasions where Congress has so acted as to make it almost hopeless for an injured person to believe that there is any chance for our Government constituting itself the generous uncle it usually is under all other circum- stances. Proposed Weight Tax. “Why,” asks the Women's Safety Committee, “should more motor taxes be levied upon those who are already paying them? Wouldn't it be & great deal more fair to have the United States Government pay its part? Then there wouldn't need to be an increase.” The Women's Safety Committee Thorpe replied.” “Thal we intend to avoid. Instead, we con= template working for the enforce- ment of laws already existing. Our effort will be to see if more impetus to their observance by trian alike in & Ipful spirit of co-operation. By an method never before tried in ‘Washington our committee is expect- ing specifically to help along this line.” Mrs, Thorpe declined to divulge the exact details until they are worked out more fully with city au- thorities who look with favor on their trial. In this connection Mrs. Thorpe was enthusiastic in commenting upon the committee’s appreciation of the cour- tesy with which Maj. Ernest W. | Brown, superintendent of police, and William A. Van Duzer, director of traffic, have co-operated in placing at their disposal helpful information as well as the consideration which has been given their suggestions. She cited as instances the installation of traffic lights at certain dangerous corners, the restriction of parking on congested bus routes and at various busy thoroughfares, the readjustment of stop signs and the detailing of police at dangerous intersections. What she did not tell me was that entirely without solicitation from either of these two departments she has twice appeared before congres- siond] hearings and with other civic agencies had a part in bringing about an increase in the personnel of the traffic division of the Metropolitan Po- lice and of the traffic department. Commissioners Praised. Mrs. Thorpe praised Commissioners Allen, Hazen and Sultan, whose inter- est and support have been of great value in the various projects which her Safety Committee has furthered. With pride, too, she displayed a let= ter from former Judge Gus A. Schuldt, written when he was on the Police Court bench, saying: “The oft re- peated assertion, ‘women have no judgment in driving’ is not borne out by the records here. If all drivers could be imbued with the spirit which underlies your organization, the per- centage of accidents would be neg- ligible.” As an evidence that members of this about the matter, Capt. Rhoda Milli- ken, head of the Woman's Bureau of the Police Department, was delegated to determine the chief factors contrib- uting to this shocking situation. Mrs. Thorpe feels that “the citizens of Wi n have reason to be grate- ful for what was brought to light by this survey.” ‘When these accidents were spotted on the map of the District it was found that their greatest concentra- tion was not only in one of the city’s most densely populated areas, but that one which was crossed by six major traffic srteties. In all this vicinity there was one full-time play- ground for white children and none for colored children, although there was a school population of 6,341, out of which 856 were shown to be suffer- ing from malnutrition. There were 530 persons designated as living in 28 alleys and 52 per cent of all the families in this district were on Government relief and the remainder earning extremely low wages. Tuberculosis was the prevail- ing cause of all deaths. Additional inquiries into the eco- nomic, crime and health population for both adults and juveniles re- vealed that this section costs the city more for services which must be paid by the taxpayer than any other sec- tion. For the correctional and penal institutional care alone of the chil- dren and adults in this particular community it was brought out that it annually cost the District approxi- mately half a million dollars. As one might surmise, there were on the committee some who were in a position to influence remedial legis- lation over the morning cup of cof- | fee or in a conversational interlude | at the family dinner table. But the | group scorned the contact method of | approach, I am told. Said they, “This | case will stand or fall upon the merits | of this report and of what we are able to point out in a business-like | hearing with Mrs. Thorpe, delegated as our representative and spokesman. It is our business to show Congress that it will be cheaper to try remedial | measures for this situation than ‘must | not’ legislation.” Not even J. Edgar Hoover, America's | No. 1 criminal pursuer, could have presented the theme closest to his of the stanchest proponents of the cause which the committee was pleading, but invited the entire group vate dining room of the Senate the day set for the Senate's Appropria- tion Committee hearing. t To Senator Elmer Thomas, iis chairman, as well as to Senators King, Glass, Copeland, Tidings, Borah, Sheppard, Vandenberg, Mce Nary, Reynolds, Capper, Lewis and other members of the Senate, as well as to Representative Clarence Can« non and Representative Knutson, and their associates on the House Committee on Appropriations for the District, Mrs. Thorpe feels that our city has cause to be grateful. “Mainly through their good offices.” | she emphasized, “$10,000 was made available for full-time, as well as part-time playgrounds, and an addi- tional $10,000 was voted for the sal- aries of supervisory playground teach- | ers to direct the children’s activities. “Of course the Woman's Safety Committee wouldn't be human if it were not very proud that Capt. Milli- ken’s report sold itself on its merits,” she added. Concluding, Mrs. Thorpe said: “We are much interested in the educational work being done all over the United States by the American Automobile Association in an effort to find out by various devices the effect which cere tain driver characteristics and capa= bilities have upon traffic safety condi= tions. It may be that the American Automobile Association will discard many of them as having no bearing upon actual conditions and thus si- lence the vociferous claims of others that such and such a test will zolve all of our traffic troubles. As soon 2s those deemed most valuable are ac- cepted, they will be installed at one of our monthly meetings. Then, under a demonstrator, members will have the opportunity to test out the promptness of their reactions, their ability to test clearances, gauge distances between cars, and the status of their night driving, the latter by & contrivance called a glarometer.” “Won't all of your members stav | away from this particular meeting, if they know of this plan in advance?” was my final query. “Oh, no,” she answerec, “we sha'! to be his luncheon guests in the pri- ~ group have safety problems on their | minds wherever they go, my attention was called to an authoritative, inten- | sive report on traffic conditions in the | heart, “Obviate crime by its preven- tion.” better than did the Woman's Bafety Committee. They emphasized capital cities of Europe of compa- compiled by Mrs. Wilbur Carr while on a visit to Europe. Concerning “over there” statistics, I noted that deaths in London due to traffic accidents in one year totaled 1,348 out of a popu- lation of 4,397,003. Mrs. Carr com- mented that “so great is the English regard for law enforcement that the London ‘bobby’ has but to raise one finger to instantly fixate traffic. In- stinctively, I contrasted that with our American tendency to disregard regu- lations on the score that they are excellent for the other fellow, but a | nuisance to ourselves. Significant, too, was the statement, “illicit parking in “it costs less to prevent accidents | burial or institutional care for those | crippled by traffic accidents.” | They stressed the desirability of | providing more playground space | with teachers to supervise them, so | that children might be kept off con- | gested streets and find healthful play away from unwholesome surroundings | with a sufficiently augmented police | force to insure law and order, Shipstead Lends Aid.

This they seriously believe would be unfair as & distinct piece of class legislation and as such departure from the gen- erally accepted theory that taxes should be general in nature and evenly distributed. It is also their opinion that the weight tax would not be as effective a measure of the use of highways as is the gas tax, all of which in their minds' goes back to their general queries, “Why should motorists, as a class, be singled out to carry'an unfair burden of the gen- | eral administrative cost of the Dis- trict government? Isn't this the juncture where the United States Government ought to come forward and carry its share?” Getting back to traffic conditions, I asked if the committee is planning to recommend additional laws to rem- edy their evils. “Most emphatically Yersin "Method French Bessie Reynolds Graduate and Special Representative he Yersin %hwl of Paris iction for Singers Language Structure The Yersin Method is the result of a_scientific discovery and has been endorsed by leading educators. musi- cians and theatrical peoble.
