Rivalry Over Permit No. l..

Now that it is apparent the Commits
soners are to require licenses of all opera
tors of automobiles and will probably cause
numbers to be affixed to all horseless vehi
cles, there has sprung up bit of rivalry
between owners as to who shall be entitled
to permit No. and the consequent use of
the first numerical on his machine. l.. A.
Hill of 1409 Howard avenue, a member Of
the National Capital Automobile Club,
made application a few days ago for an
operators permit and asked to be given
the use of No. / for his machine. Repre-
sentative Joseph c. Sibley of Pennsylvania
has written to the Commissioners request
ing that if numbers are to be used he be
assigned Nos. /, 2 and for his trio Of
horseless vehicles. Mr. Sibley states in
support of his claim for this distinction
that he was the owner Of the first automo-
bile used in Washington. Mr.. Sibley favors
the use of initials rather than numbers.
He has called upon Commissioner West
and talked the matter over with him.
Later he addressed a letter to the board Of
Commissioners stating his views in writing
and making the cation above referred

The flag was carried through the war. and
afterward placed among the valued relics
OF the conflict In the capitol building of the
state.
Mr.. Round further calls attention to the
fact that the national encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic is to be held
in San Francisco this year. He suggests
that 1t would be appropriate for the state
to arrange for tho transit of this flag to
the place Of its origin and also to arrange

Advocates Proper Supervision.

IT have been a sturdy advocate Of proper
control of automobiles" he stated, and
some time since suggested to the honorable
president of your board, Commissioner Mac
farland, the necessity for some more per-
feet regulation. Naturallya desire that
these regulations shall be as little Onerous
as possible to the owner, while affordfng
ample protection to the public. think there
is wide difference between reckless run
ming and fast running. Any observer will
witness daily in Washington reckless driv-
ing of horses and operation Of automobiles
when both are driven at five to seven miles
an hour. I think the reckless driver
of either class should be punished. and
l think the police should be Instructed
to use wide discrimination in the
matter Of speed where conditions vary
Whenever the license Vfee is established
will very gladly send the amount Of the
same, but would especially like to make
this early application that may have the
privilege on my machine, where all my ini-
tials are plainly placed, in accordance with

Mr.. w. S. Duvall of the Washington

of their effective brakes and reverse appa-

HORSELESS VEHICLES
REGULATIONS N / HI ISSUED
NEXT WEEK.
The Draft in the Hands Of Commits
sioner West-App1fcants for
First Permit.

The Commissioners will act the first Of
next week in the matter Of regulating the
operation of automobiles in the District OF
Columbia The Commissioners have de-,
cided that regulations are badly needed.
They do not desire to promulgate laws that
will be onerous or work hardship on any
class of citizens. The Commissioners idea
is to give the amplest protection to the
general public and to provide a means OF
fixing the responsibility for violations OF
the law II any should occur. At a recent
hearing granted to those interested in the
automobile subject the Commissioners
heard many varying views and suggestions
Since that time they have received large
regulations and containing many sugges-
tons that will prove of valuable assistance
to the authorities in framing the new rules.
The proposed regulations read by the
Commissioners during the hearing and
printed in The Star are to be revised in
some respects. Commissioner West, who
has immediate supervision of the matter.
is to draw up the final regula tons. He will
incorporate in this draft many of the sug
gestions made by the numerous correspon-
dents, and will endeavor to frame law
that will meet with public approval and at
the same time meet the views of the con-
sentative automobile owners. The law will
be founded here, as in other jurisdictions,
upon the basis of system of Identification
marks for each machine. One plan before
the Commissioners Is to require individual
numbers. while another calls for the use
of initials Just what system the Commits
sioners will adopt has not as yet been
stated. but it is believed the number plan
will be the one finally favored.

it the most graceful, the most

That it is accepted as the only
correct footwear to be found
in the capital city is a well
known fact; that it is worn
exclusively by the smart set
of this city goes without say
ing.
In no previous season has
the showing equaled the one

showing the wonderful evolu-
ton of footwear-the results
of master footwear producers
of America, who concededly
lead the world.
A glance at the display Of

you an idea of the extent of

acter of the styles. A few

The greatest care Is exercised
here in the fitting of chill

Now that tan shoes for
