Lighthouses for automobilists is I
Uutle Sam's latest device t°r thai
comfort of h!« highbrow nephews |
in Washington City, while his I
roughneck relative in Alaska have
to navagata tha treacherous waters
of tie northera coast with very lit
tle artificial light and but few safe
guards against tha dangerous pin
nacles of rock tbat rest only a f®w
feet beneath the surface of many
of the bays and inlets of the in
s'de passage, which are aa yet un
charted and a constant menace to
life and property. Read tlife fol
lowing account of federal moneys
expended to facilitate traffic and
nrevent accidents on well paved, el
ectric lighted roadways In the Dis
trict of COlumba, and then review
the woft' that has been done for
Alaska, from which territory over
$500,000,000 have gone into the
channels of commerce from her
products since the purchase from
Kussu by the United States. It
w'\t be instructive if not edifying
informaton:
"On the speedway in Poto
mac park, on the long stretch
paralleling the river, is set
a beautiful little circle made
up of a flower bed, at a
road junction. At night it is both
ersome to automobilists, the low
sot red light which has marked it
being frequently mistaken for the
rear light of a car ahead.
"Now the authorities have replac
ed the fixed light witk a flashing
red electric lamp, built on the
principle that Is applied to light
houses. At half-second intervals it |
flashes on and off and cannot he
mistaken for anything else. From
a oolnt half a mile away- one may
sat hia course on the flash and
be sure that he ia not going to
run the machine elsewhere than in
the straight and narrow path.
"The district government is adapt
ing somewhat the same idea to
traffic congested corners at night.
At the busy corner facing the treas
ury, where New York avenue, Penn
sylvania avenue and Fifteenth St
intersect, and where observ
ance of the traffic regulations as
to passing well around the middle
of the street intersection are very
necessary, the spot is marked at
night with an elevated red light
rising from the spot where th.e traf
fic policeman stands in day time
Presently, no doubt, flashing lights
will take the olace of such fixed
lights.
"And the next thing probably will
be fog horns for automobilists at
danger corn ere."
MENACE OK A HOLY WAR
According to the predictions o
thos<> whom we would expec; to be
best informed, the Turk's tarboosh
cast into the battle arena mean
nothing less than a holy war. Of
ficially a holy war has been declar
ed, but there Is some discussion a?
to whetheT or not it will be followed
by the whirlwind of destruction
which we associate with a Pan-Is
lamic revolt.
From a writer in the Outlook,
Youel B. Mirza a Persian, we »et
a concise view of* what ai holy war
would mean. For the Turk there
are only two classes of people on
earth—the "Faithful," the fol
lowers of Mohammed, the subjects
of the Caliph; and tha Christiana—
the giaours—the unclean. The
Turk regards the christian pretty
much as the San Francisco sand
lotter in the late Seventies regarded
the Chinaman. He is a person
tolerated when he has to be, but
hated beyond measure and at all
tim«-s held in absolute contempt.
The tou h of him is profanation and
association with him is practically
Infidelity and disgrace.
This helps us to a more intimate
understanding of the Turkish view
point. "Wo may the better under
stand why, in the Turkish mind,
it is not a heinous offense to kill
a christian. And the Turk may
reason that there is all the more
warrant for his blood-thirsty fero
city in the fact that christians are
so enthusiastic ia the business of
killing each other.
This Outlook writer says in his
concluding paragraph; "in conclu
sion, and from what I have observ
ed In the Orient, where i have
heard the Mohammedans almost sigh
for a holy war, I am persuaded
that they would not hesitatp to
come back from Asia and Africa in
answer to the call of the Sultan;
and if that unfortunate day ever
dawn3, it will take a better Gener
al than Charles Martel to defeat
them, and there will be a greater
battle than that of Tours.''
And yet if that terrible rrophocy
is proved, and that terrible thing
does occur, considering all the
facts, who should we blame for it
—the Christian or the Turk?
