MOTOR LAWS AND ACCIDENTS
OFFICIAL outcries against meter drivers
whose recklesni"s and unfitness tend te
Increase read accidents occur a. regularly
very summer as the vacation fever.
Smashes arc mere fretment. Multitudes of
new automobiles are en the highways.
Multitudes of nervous folk are learning te
drive them. The speed iiends find the airs
of summer inviting. And officials begin te
deliver nddrc-ses about what they call "the
meter peril." Almu-t Invariably they de
what has come te be the tjpic.il American
thing: They cry out for "mere drastic
laws." Meanwhile they forget or neglect
te enforce law.-, that, If they were properly
respected, would cut the meter-accident tell
by at least 7." per cent.
Superintendent .Mills, of the police de
partmeut, is troubled by the current record
of week-end meter accidents. Se are the
folk at Harrisburg. And It is nt Harris
burg that a whole new set of restrictive
rules te govern the Issuance of meter
licenses is again being recommended. It Is
true that meter licences are somewhat tee
easy te obtain. Hut a leek nt any police
accident record Is enough te fUew that
youthful drivers or drivers who are new te
motorcar are net always reipenslble for
accidents. There are drivers expert and
familiar enough with meters te be cocL cecL cocL
ure nnd rcekle-s.
Xew laws are nor needed te make the
treets safe. All that is necessary is the
observance of laws new en the books.
A PRINCE DEPARTS
MONTH CAIU.O will go en. of course,
and fellow its usual habits, even
tbeugli the Prince of Monace is dead, and it
will have one Mgiililcint aspect nt least for
the philosophers, n will show that what
we call vice will nlwnjti manage te prosper
and be tolerated if jeu take the trouble te
dress It In geed clothes.
The wonderful C'imue, where celebrities
and the ultra-rich from all the four corners
of the earth go te gnmble, is in principle
nnd ppirlt no different from the places that
the police in this city raid when they have
te nnd no mere admirable, as n matter of
fact, than any of the resorts backed by the
Four Certain Men once referred te cau-tleuslj-
by Mayer Moere.
The Prince of Monace was net a gambler.
He never plnjed roulette. Residents of
Monace were rigidly barred from play in
the roulette room-. The Prince was a
scientist nnd, apparently, something of a
cynic. Ills great passion was mence. He
was n student of the ocean, Its drifts, its
life nnd its mjsteiieus deep-. lie had prom prem
ised many nervous Kings and Queens, in
cluding Victeria, te abolish gambling at
Monace. Hut he seems te haw needed the
money te continue his eeicntitie pursuits.
It is' snfe te suppose that he thought the
matter ever carefully nnd decided that, after
all, fdnce the -penders would tind wajs te
get rid of their money whether the Casine
were open or shut, he emild make better use
of it than the wniters and pandein of
Paris nnd Vienna. P.erlin and the Itinera.
And that la exactly what he did.
THE UNTROD PEAK
rIE abandonment of the Kverest expedi
tion within 1700 feet of the summit of
the monarch of mountains is n regrettnble
finale te it remarkable adventure character
ized by heroism ami scientific enthusiasm.
Gcnernl ISruce's report that prolongation
of the effort te scale the peak in the mon
soon season would result In useless tragedy
Is testimony of the sobriety nnd sincerity
With which the expedition was conducted.
The exploit was net planned for Fcnsntienni
purpeHCs nor te demonstrate the human
taste for foelhnrdlness.
There is, unfortunately, no deficiency of
showy recklessness in modern mankind.
Lives nre often wantonly sacrificed for in
finitesimal stakes. Ne subscription te such
felly entered into the program of the Heynl
Geographical Society, sponsor of the un
dertaking. The object of this learned beclety was
addition te the sum of human knowledge,
the basic principle of the modern scientific
creed. Viewed from this standpoint, the
Everest expedition has by 110 means been a
failure, although the top of the world re.
mains unvlslted by man. A mass of Keo Kee
graphical and topographical facts has been
acquired, and almost certainly 11 wealth of
Information concerning the configuration
and altitudes of the IlimnlayuB.
Sticklers for exact records will be eager
for new light upon the height of Gedwin
Austen, or K-", which has somewhat du du
bieusly been reputed te be the second high
est of the world's mountains.
This peak was climbed by the Duke of
,.,the Abriiz-i in IIMW. nnd Its altitude was
& then reckoned n L'S.USO feet above sea level.
The Everest expedition rcuched nil eJcvutien
of 27,3()0 feet.

for the distinction of having attained the
highest elevation en the surfnee of the
earth. Hut even If this claim should be sus
tained, the accomplishments of the Everest
expedition would be symbolic of magnifi

exploring the physical secrets of this planet.
FEDERAL INTERVENTION
IS NOW IN SIGHT
Jubilation In Ceal Fields Indicates Belief
That the Strike Is Near End
THE coal situation begins te Improve. A
light of joyous premise is shining.
The summoning of Jehn L. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers, te Washington
te confer with President Harding has been
followed by n mysterious tncssage from
Lewis te the General Scales Commlttee in
Wilkes-Hnrre which has turned the entire
anthracite regions into n series of hnppy
celebrations. That message probably means
Federal intervention.
That intervention ought te have taken
place last April when the strike began.
Nearly three months have been lest, und it
Is new said that if the mines should resume
work nt ence the railroads would net be
able te carry the coal that will be needed
next winter. Every week of delay increases
the gravity of the situation.
The miners and the operators nre in
different te the public needs. They will
pass en te the consumers ull the costs in
volved in nny settlement. The one man
who can insist en some respect for the
public interests Is the President.
The belief is growing that there can be
no peace in the coal-mining industry until
a way is found te npply te the coal in the
ground theso principles of conservation
which the Federal Government is applying
te the forests. At present the mines are
worked only rnrt of the year, because they
can produce nil the coal that will be con
sumed in that time. The miners nre idle
during the remaining part of the year.
They have nsked for a working day short
enough te provide them with work for the
whole twelve months, but this demand has
been resisted by the operators.
There ought te be a survey of the whole
industry, te be followed by nn agreement
te operate for the whole twelve months only
mines enough te produce the estimated
amount of cenl required for domestic con
sumption nnd the foreign market. Then
the surplus miners would be freed te enter
ether occupations where they could be cm cm
pleyed profitably. And the wages of the
miners could be adjusted en fair principles
se that strikes would be rnre if they did net
disappear altogether.
This is what Secretary Hoever has been
urging for many months. But neither the
miners nor the operators have shown anj
interest in the plan. They ere apparently
well pleased with the present system, which
enables the miners te find nn excuse for
asking for higher wages and the opernters
te justify an increase in the price of coal.
The plan could be carried out only through
some form of Federal Intervention.
A commission similar te that which
President Roosevelt appointed In 1002 ought
te be named by President Harding as seen
as he can induce n group of representative
citizens te sit upon it. Tlie Roosevelt
commission commanded the confidence of
the country because it wns constituted re-gardle-s
of the political affiliations of the
members nnd because the appointees were
men who could net be suspected of any sin
ister purposes. They we.-e men whose sole
desire wns te find a way out of nn In
tolerable situation.
It is worth while recalling that President
Roosevelt had made arrangements te take
ever the mines with the aid of the army
If the operators and miners had net con
sented te his plnn of adjudication. The
Natien would have sustained him in this
course, for it wns paying what then seemed
te be the outrageous price of $15 a ten for
anthracite.
We have been paying this price for se
long that most of us have given up hope of
having It reduced. Hut there Is a growing
restlessness under the prospect of nn In
crease In price this winter.
The dejny in coming te grips with the
question has resulted in the Ilerrln mas
sacre in the soft-coal fields of Illinois, nnd
there are the premonitory rumblings of
trouble In the anthracite regions of this
State.
Yet there Is a pretense of a disagreement
between the miners nnd operators en the
calling of competitive district or local con
ferences for a discussion of grievances, ns
though a settlement ought 10 be delayed for
this reason. If there were a genuine desire
te consider the interests of the consumers
a way would be found te get the mines In
operation nt once.
Once mere it should be said that President
Harding has It In his power te bring order
out of the present confusion. He Is the
representative of the wiiele people, and he
hns moral force enough te compel the dls
putnnts te submit their grievances te any
commission he may appoint nnd te abide
by any decision which that commission rnnj
mnke. He has full warrant In the present
situation te exercise that power nt once.
A CONSISTENT CHAMPION
CONTRASTS between the theory nnd the
practice of the League of Nations Is
undoubtedly partly re-penslhlc for the
apathy with which this subject, (,nce se
hotly debated In the I'nited States, s new
regarded here. It Is interesting, therefore,
te note the consistent championship of the
underlying principles of the organization
undertaken by thnt undaunted, clear clear
visieni d Hritish statesman, Lord Rebert
Cecil.
Few ciltlcs of the League can be mere
keenly aware of the weakness of Its func
tioning than is this spokesman for its ideals.
He has adhered, however, courageously nn,
persistently te the original conception of
the society ns international in thn broadest
sense; In fact, as uuiwrsal, Larking a
full membership, there can be no real j.
tality In the orjnnl'atien designed Hs (1
tafrgunrd of world peace

proposal for Germany's admission. The
Prime Minister replied In the affirmative.
This Is a heartening Indication that faith
in the basic design of the Lenguc has net
yet departed from responsible qunrters.
The admission of Germany would unques
tionably impait new health te the League.
It will be merely u shell unless Cecil's pic
ture of It as a complete partnership of nn nn
tletis Is eventually made real.
BELATED PROTEST
TF THE address of Colonel A. M. Helding,
J. of West Chester, president of the State
Hnr Association, nt its nnnitnl meeting In
Bedford Springs were carefully rend by
every member of Congress nnd by every
member of the State Legislatures It would
be mere difficult te Insert Irrelevant amend
ments In the Federal Constitution than it
was te pass the prohibitory amendment.
Colonel Helding, without committing him
self en the merits of prohibition, insisted
that the amendment had no proper plnce in
the Constitution. It is renlly a legislative
enactment restricting the police powers of
the Stntcs in certain directions. "It wns
net n change, a correction, a reform, recti
fication, alteration or emendntlen of any
thing in the Constitution," he said ; "it wns
r.Uher nn addition, a plece of legislation
grafted upon the fundamental law." He in
sisted with soundness that this method of
legislating by constitutional amendment vio
lates n fundamental principle of our form
of government; namely, that laws are the
will of the majority nnd nre subject te
chnnge as the majority wishes.
The Constitution creates n law-making
body nnd confers en it certain defined pow
ers of legislation nnd denies te it ether
powers. This newspaper hns said many
times that the prohibitory amendment ought
te have been in the form of an extension of
the powers of Congress te pass laws regu
lating even te the extent of prohibiting the
manufacture nnd sale of Intoxicating bever
ages. Such nn amendment would have been
In accord with the spirit of the Constitu
tion. P.ut, of course. It would hnve left
the prohibitory legislation te the discretion
of succeeding Congresses, This was what
the supporters of the amendment did net
want, for they wished It settled once for nil.
And they were se obsessed with the Idea of
putting ever their reform that, however
commendable the reform was, they wens In
different te the effect of their method en the
principles at the bottom of our constitu
tional system of government.
If the public schools and colleges will de
vote themselves te instructing the young
generation In the fundamentals of our con
stitutional sjstem It may be mere difficult
in the future for nny ether specialists te get
their legislative specialties embodied in de
tail In the document.
There Is no constitutional prohibition of
murder because the frnmers of the funda
mental charter did net Intend te legislate.
And jet murder is nt least as grave nn
offense as manufacturing whisky.
If the men well grounded In the Consti
tution had made a concerted pretest against
the form of the amendment they might hnve
succeeded in preserving the symmetry of the
document. Their pretest new is somewhat
belated.
THE WET FLEET TANGLE
SECRETARY MELLO.VS formal request
for a itiling by Attorney General Daugh
ert.v concerning the sale of liquor en Ship
ping Heard w-,els In foreign trnde should
prepare the way for a settlement of one of
the most embarrassing situations with which
this Government has ever been confronted.
There have been, of course, mere momentous
issues, but few in which points of legality,
ethic-, social morals, economics and com cem
mei ce. and conflicting masses of public
opinion have been se confusingly involved.
A definite statement by the head of the
Department of Justice would undoubtedly
sene te clear the atmosphere. Hut although
this ruling, whatever its nature, might be
accepted by the Treasury Department ns
authorizing a change of its regulations,
such an outcome cannot be predicated.
Mr. Daugherty in nn ntterney, net a
court. Resistance te his dictum en the
subject of the "wet" merchant marine
would necessitate legal notion. The ques
tion cannot be conclusively determined until
the Supreme Court has rendered a verdict.
The process of enrrjing the case te that
Ligli tribunal may be long.
It is well, however, te set thn machinery
In motion which can work toward such n
re-nit. Tin- Treasury Department has nt
least suggested n route of escape from the
present chaos.
HAITI
IT is true that the continuance of American
military occupation in Haiti is neces

Haiti has a bloody history. Its own self

a peeulinrly vicious sort. And it wns the
American troops alone that prevented con
tinuing war between one group of native

of occupation cannot serve its purpose with

AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
On the Advantages of Being a Twen
tieth Century Traveler With a Cas

and Stepping en the Way
n- SAKA1I D. LOWRIK
p." SPITE of the hurry nnd all that we
tr.v te crowd Inte our dnys, we hnve taken
n leaf out of our grandparents' ways In the
matter of journeys, thanks te the automobile,
and there is a lelsurellness about our nr
rlvnls and departures thnt Is as far removed
from the scramble of our parents' train ar
rivals nnd departures ns their welter of lug
gage differs from our compact hnnd assort
ment. X"t having te mnke trains creates a world
of difference in the leisurely getting off. nnd
net being able te check trunks without a
bunch of railroad tickets makes the travel
ers by meter travel light.
Seme friends came ever for n long-planned
v sit a week age from the direction of Mor Mer Mor
nstewn, N. J. Hy train they weald have
had nt least two changes of cars and the
transportation te and from the stations.
Their bags or their trunk or both would
linye had te be get off the day before in
order te arrive while they were here, nnd
their departure would have innde brenkfast
nt nn unusual hour a necessity nt this end,
with hurried nnd unsatisfactory leave
taking from a disturbed household.
As it wns, they drove up in a comfortable
limousine with their belongings comfertnbly
disposed nbetit them, nnd nrrived in time
for ten, hnving left home after lunch; nnd
they departed after a day or two, when all
the household was ready te go about Its busi
ness after n desultory breakfast, net quite
sure in their comfortable minds whether they
would go straight home or step ever for a
night nt their llttle mountain farm In the
hill country above Patcrsen.
TT IS this ease of getting about, and the
- cnsualness of plans, nnd the possibility of
traveling In actual luxury nnd yet without
much luggage that have made the revivnl of
something like the old Informality of travel
possible.
Fer inconvenient ns were the stage conches
nnd long drawn -out as were the journeys,
our grandparents in their enrly days took
much mere pleasure in the happenings by
the way and were net se bent en the ar
riving and-departing ns were the "train
catchers ' of the following generation. And
whether they stepped at an Inn or nt the
house of a friend or nn ncqunintance, the
stepping was mere easy going nnd nt the
same time mere bland than the "fittcd-in
dutes of the Inter travelers who moved by
timetables and announced their exact mo
ment of urrivnl nnd depnrture with nn ada
mant certitude some weeks In advance.
It is very difficult for these of us who
were brought up under thnt petrified regime
te comprehend, much less te upprevc of, the
present "net-maklng-up-thc-mind-tlll - the
last -minute custom," but en the ether hand
sitting loosely te plans" used te hnve te
be inculcated as a virtue, while it is new in
the air we breathe. And of the two extremes,
setness and cnsualness, there is no ques
tion which Is plcnsanter te live with or lnugh
with or miss an engagement with.
"M'OWADAYS, when mere than one of a
j-y family can drive the family car and mere
than one car Is driven by one family. It Is
easy nnd even prefitnble te depart bag nnd
baggage, family nnd domestics in the family
meters, leaving only the very heavy luggage
te go by express and doing nwny with the
nulsnnee and perplexity of trains and
changes of cars and tiine-tnblc arrivals and
departures completely.
If one must spend n night by the way
the wayside meter-Inn is net se expensive
nnd is far mere comfortable thnn sleeping
cnr.s nnd Pullman diners, and it is possible
te arrive unheralded nnd find n cerdinl wel
come at most of the rondheuses. with rdens
ant conversation nnd matching of experi
ences from ether travelers, who. having found
themselves belated, have stepped, nethlng
loath. at the first pleasant welcoming Inn
sign by the wny. "
It is ii perfectly different traveling ex
perience from any possible twentv vears age
and the travelers who like it b'es't are net
the j niing and casual, but the middle-aged
and one-time exigent nrrivers nnd depnrters
Perhnps they value it mere because it is
such nn improvement en the old, fixed,
herded journeys. '
T WAS metering with n friend of mine who

by means of her meter, se that there is new
scarcely a mile of beautiful country between
here and Burlington, Vt , which is net

hns her favorites in the matter of stepping

nnd what detours nre worse than "going
She is Incorrigibly unforgiving of certain
well-known caravansaries where things "dis
appointed her" nnd very indulgent of ethers
where she was surprised bv pretty atten
tions. She said te me enee in n stern voice
pointing up te a hotel en the ridge of a
mountain :
"De jeu ee Jhnt place far up thcre in
the het sun.' Well, nil about this country
for miles nre bad reads nnd steep reads, se
that within five miles of the summit you will

yes, I've heard of that place. Let's go nn
for lunch, and if we like it spend n night
there I What de you find? First, last and
always Rules!
"TTUIERE is a rule that you must leave

while she admitted she had net stayed te try
te break either.
Of course. It is plain bhe wns very preju

MARY E. TYLER
On Phases of Werk for Girls
THE work along social and cducatlennl lines
which is new being done by many or-
gnnlzntlens nnd persons for the younger
girls, thnt is, from the nges of twelve te
eighteen vears, is one of the most important
of nil phnscs of similar endenver, accord
ing te Miss Mary E. Tyler, girls' reserve
director of the Yeung Women's Christian
Association.
"One of the points because of which this
work assumes great significance," said Miss
Tyler, "is that the girls nt thnt nge nre
most nmennble te development nleng the
lines which will prove te be of the grentest
value te them in their later life. In Phila
delphia this work has been carried en for
enlv a few years, but the manner In which
the" girls hnve responded te it is llttle short
of wonderful. , .
"The girls for whom this sort of work is
specifically intended nre of three distinctive
types: First, the high school girls; second,
the grade school girls; nnd third, the
younger ones who nre in business or in
dustry. Business Girls Responsive
"Of the three classifications, I should say
that the girls who nre In business or in
dustry nre the most responsive The
branches which should be covered are rec
reational, educational nnd 6eclal. the latter
with u view te social service work later.
"The object of the whole movement should
be te help the girls mere fully te under
stand -and appreciate the ideals of Amer
ican citbcnshlp. Health, knowledge, spirit
nnd service urc the four foundntien stones
of the entire movement, nnd upon these
tilings the whole program of nny work for
girls' of this nge should be bnscd.
"Any work of this kind should be as
democratic ns possible. In our own work,
the girls elect all their own officers nnd
chnlrmen of committees, nnd only such
supervision ns is absolutely necessary is
maintained. It has worked out very well.
One meeting each week Is planned, nnd each
ene has a different subject, with a dlscus dlscus
siennl meeting once n month.
Frankness Is Important
"In meetings of this kind, it hns been
my experience thnt frankness is csscntinl
if the greatest amount of geed is te be
achieved. Questions which it Is well te
discuss in this manner nre such ns: Stnnd
nr'ds of honor in school, involving the best
forms of co-epcrntion with the principal,
teachers und fellow pupils; seemly be be
hnvier en the streets nnd wlUi heys nnd
similar topics. The girls should be en
couraged te speak frankly, and I have
found thnt they de this with n llttle en
couragement. They tpenk freely of clothes,
peep'e and standards lu the various matters
which are constantly cropping up In the
life of every one, nnd apparently they get
much out of it. I
"Serinl service work Is best Inculcated
bv n practical application of the principles
involved in it. I have done this by encour
aging girls te visit hospitals und ether places
for social service education and thus teach
them net only the salient principles, but
also te knew thoroughly their own city.
Anether excellent way te teach these vnl
uable principles is te get n family, of which
the girls will take care at Christmas,
Thanksgiving and Easter, end Mill another
is by milking things for children in foreign
countries.
"The purely secinl phase of llfe nisi) must
net be neglected, and nil out-nnd-eiit party
sheu'il be held occasionally. In thu c.ise
of our own work this takes the form of a
hike n picnic, n skating party, or what
ever' form of harmless amusement is ap
propriate te the season. Through the busi
ness meetings, which should form a pnrt
of' this work, n great deal of parliamentary
law may be taught, the proper manner of
conducting meetings and many useful things
ure absorbed In it pleasant, if indirect,
manner. 1lfU,cat,K ueasm

make n profound impression. Judgment
must be used In this matter, however, and
there should never be nny suggestion thnt
they nre being Instructed in these things;
it would probably net be resented, but
the ether method hns been found te be
the mere efficacious,
"The co-epcrntion of the Beard of Edu
cntlnn is such a program ns I have briefly
outlined would glve nn Immense Impetus
te this important work in Philadelphia, and
it is by no means beyond the bounds of
possibility thnt this co-operation may be
secured Inter. We ourselves have had
the use of seme of the school buildings nt
times, nnd much could be accomplished by
allowing the use of pesters in the school
buildings, announcements from the plat
forms nnd things of this nnture.
"If this work, however, should later be
taken up bya the Beard of Education, It
should be considered ns a school activity
nnd net ns nn extra-school nctivlty, ns would
be the case at present. There nre many or
ganizations nnd agencies in this city all
working te the snuie general ends along
these lines, nnd all nre in complete accord
ns te the kind of work which should be
done te achieve the best results. Inci
dentally, It might be added that none of
them duplicates the work of the ethers.
Laying a Solid Foundation
"A general program of this kind lays
the foundation upon which may be raised a
superstructure of physical, mental, spiritual
nnd social growth. It should Include social
service work, meetings of vnrleus kinds,
both nctlve nnd discusslen.il, with speakers
nnd lecturers en health, iirst-nld, nursing
nnd similar subjects. A book list is nn
Important thing, with a discussion of books
of various kinds, the things which should
be read nnd the reasons for reading them.
"It has been my experience tltat little
really educational work, in the btrict mean
ing of the word, is ndvlsnble. The things
which the girls want nnd need in this kind
of n program Is the recrentlennl end. Of
course, they absorb much knowledge thnt
is of value, but it is nbserbed nnd net
taught, und Is perhaps the better learned
nnd the mero effective for thli rensen, The
schools provlde nbeut all the actual In
struction thnt they desire.
"As I have said, the progress thnt hns
been mnde where this kind of a program hns
been taken up has been remarkable. It
is based upon the psychology nnd the physi
ology of the ndelescent girl n solid bnBls
nnd nn excellent bnckgrnund for progress.
I believe firmly In its ultimate growth te
ends ns yet perhnps only dimly felt, be
muse the basis of such a movement is emi
nently sound."
