ing last night. =.
In urging the necessity for such a
membership drive. several speakers
declared that many unjust laws are
saddled upon Washington because the
people here do not show enough in
terest in their own welfare to voice
objection.
On motion of w. b. westlake. presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, a resolution was adopt
ed inviting every citizens association
in the city to name one delegate on
an executive committee which is to
direct the membership campaign.
General Committee to Meet.
The invitation will be extended i'm
mediately and each association Will
be expected to have its member of the
executive committee at the boardroom
of theDistrict building Saturday night.
If plans outlined by several at the
meeting last night are carried out
the campaign will be a novel one
among the citizen bodies of the Dis
-trict. Nearly all agreed that the cam
paign should be short and snappy.
Jesse c. Suter of Petworth. who pre-
sided. suggested having the member
ship committee of each association
ton. with one big central committee
to canvass men in the downtown
section during the day.
Another suggestion was that the
motion picture houses in the neighbor-
hoods be asked to throw appeals on the
screens urging men to join a citizens
association and help the city.
Mr.. Suter told those present that

they could make their voice heard in

reduced and congestion in all sections
of the city which existed several years
ago has been greatly relieved and
traff1c flows better through the busy
streets and with less accidents than
ever before.
This Improvement in handling traf-
nc is due largely to the increased In
terest of all our men in the problems
of traffic management which they are
meeting. and their promptness in try
1nE TO arrive at the solution of any
traffic problems, and to their increas-
ing cooperation with officers of the

Maj. Pullman and Inspector Grant
the latter chief of detectives. have re-
established an automobile squad of de-
tectives to investigate thefts of auto

cles during the past few months.
Since January 1. this year, automo-
biles taken by thieves and joyriders
total 234. the number thus far recov-
cred being 164. leaving sixty-eight
still missing. Last year the number
