z|HLMAN PREPARES
TRAFFIC COURT BILL
Accidents viii Continue While
Licenses Are Easy to Get,
He Declares.

tor vehicles In the District of Co.
lumbia are as easy to get as postage
stamps, just 30 long will joy-riders.
speed-fiends and flivver experts claim
their toll Of dead or injured on the
street Of Washington" Congressman
Frederick N. Zihlman, Of Maryland.
declared today.
Mr.. zihlman is preparing a bill
to create . traffic court in the Dis
trict and, in connection Herewith,
stringent regulations will be pre-
scribed covering who shall carry a
permit TO operate motor vehicle.
The bill will provide for the ap-
pointment Of an additional police
court Judge who shall be known as
traffic court Justice.
II believe this is necessary Mr..
Zfhlman said. because 1 understand
that the police court judges in the
District OF Columbia have their calen-
dars crowded with work, and 1t is
therefore necessary that an additional
judge be appointed.
What Bill VIII Provide.
i Il shall provide in the bill for the
employment Of the necessary clerks,
and for the appointment of two
police sergeants to be designated for
duty In the Traffic Court.
Such a Judge would obtain greater
familiarity with this class Of ofYenses
and would be able to establish a uni
form and elective policy in handling
violations"
No operators license would be is
sued until the applicant for the IL
cense had demonstrated his ability to
operate a motor vehicle
Mr.. Zihlman's bill will provide that
"the operators license card shall have
indorsed on its back all convictions
and warnings for violation Of the mo-
tor vehicle laws, so that the police
officer holding the car can thus
easily determine whether the opera
tor is a persistent violator Of the law
or not
"Owners Of cars win be made liable
for their chauffeur's violations and
corporate officers shall be personally
responsible for violations by employees
OF their respective corporations"
Rarely Held Liable.
Under the existing law. the owner
OF the car who does not operate il,
or a large corporation which operates
cars through its employees. are rarely
held liable for persistent violations
of the law which occur ofttimes at
the direction or order Of the owner
or corporate officer.
The Zihlman bill viii carry addi-
tional penalties for racing or operat-
ing car while under the influence of
liquor or drugs.
In an effort to prevent Grabbing
OF favored parking areas, Mr.. Zihl-
man announces that the bill will pro-
vide for the elimination of discrini-
natory conditions existing in the Dis
trict reference to parking space and
other facilities for public hacks and
taxicabs which. under existing con-
dltions, are refused the use Of certain
streets or sections of streets.
"The bill will carry additional pen-
alties against any person who fails
to stop. render assistance and re-
port to the police, in respect to any
accident resulting in injury to a per
son or persons"

old, quit school and went to work,
and it is a rather hard task for a
fifteen-year-old boy to support a
family of six. A Good Fellow will
feel very happy when he takes hap
piness into that home.
Down in the crowded southwest
district there is a woman who finds
it difficult to keep five children to-
gether without attempting to do any,
thing for them at Christmas time.
A Good Fellow must be assigned
that task.
There is another little girl out
southeast who has been told that
Santa Claus is not going to make
his regular visit this year. The
Good Fellow Department believes he
is, and if some Good Fellow will
only see to it, there will be no doubt
that both he and an eight-year-old
girl will be very happy.
12-Year-OId Orphan Girl.
And if there is a Good Fellow who
cannot make trip himself, the Good
Fellow Department will tell him
where there is twelve-year-old Or
phan girl living in the country just
outside of Washington who is going
to miss Santa Claus this year.
And if there are other Good Eel
lows who have not sent in their
names because something will pre-
vent them from making personal
trips, the Fairgrounds Department,
Room 2, District Building, still needs
both toys and money to provide for
the Christmas it is going to give the
less fortunate children. The Fair
brother school, Tenth and E streets
southwest, is especially in need of
toys, candy, etc.
There are still many great big
chances for Good Fellows. The way
to find where they are is to call The
Times Office, telling how many fam
lies you can care for Christmas eve.

GIRLS JOIN CLUB
OF GOOD FELLOWS
Eastern High School Pupils viii
Bring Christmas Cheer
To Needy.

II there were a large number or
societies Of big-hearted girls IN WASH /.
ington like the Senior Friendship
Club OF Eastern High School, IT would
be less difficult to brighten the dark
corners at Christmas time.
The Senior Friendship organisation
just fits in with the Goodfellow move
ment, as a result of which twenty
five or more of the needy children
and old people whose names have
come to the Good Fellow Editor win
have the happiest kind Of a Christmas
that can be provided by eager young
hearts and hands
The Senior Friendship Club has
been in existence five or six years.
so that the original members have all
left school and some Of them are in
homes of their own, but the move
ment has overlapped as new classes
have entered the school, and 1t has
been an important factor In the ter
ritory served by the school
At some times of year, the girls of
the Senior Friendship Club join to
gether for a good time for them
selves. They have picnics In sum
mer and dances in winter and give
teas and form chains OF friendship
among themselves. They are gir's
who stand well in their classes, and
who are welcome callers among he
homes of the eastern district.
Whether it is q question of organ
joint contribution. they would d.
wholesome sort, or organized good
deeds, there is always a call on the
Senior Friendship Club. At Easter
time they plan to send some remem-
brance where 1t will give most cheer:
at Thanksgiving they send dinners to
needy persons, and at Christmas they
always unite to give some sort Of
substantial brightness
This year they noticed the Goodfel-
low movement A meeting was held
and II was decided that instead Of
Ellen Simona. Ruth Kneipp, Julia
vide up list Of names obtained from
the Goodfellow editor and each Of the
two dozen girls in the club would
take one child or old person In the
Goodfellow list as subject for
Christmas Frightening.
Some Of the names are grouped In
large families, and in these cases
there will be q little subcommitte

knots form in the corridors of the

are plans on foot that make old st.

Camp
Nears Boom Stage

Reports from the new camp OF Ar
ro,ybead. in Nye county. about hun
drea miles west OF Phoebe, indicate
the most important mineral discovery
made In Nevada for many years, ae-
cording TO recent reports from ioho-
pah.
The district was well known In the
early days of the silver rush and was
made famous by the old ella mine
which produced at that time more
than half a million dollars in high-
Grade silver. The new strike Is about
four miles from the old workings and
is located on the andesite-porphyry
contact which lies between the malapai
formation on the north and the quartz
tie on the south. with zone that Is
from a mile to a mile and hair In
width, cut by two strong assure veins
with a northeast and southwest trenp
Twin springs. the nearest water, Is
twelve miles distant, but Big creek
carrying plenty of water, is located
less than twenty miles distant and
abundant water can readily be secured
/ by piping.
A number of discovery shafts are
being sunk in the district and foui
new companies have already been in
corporated on the west side.
! According to the statement giyer
| out by Joe b. Kendall, the entire dis
| trict is worthy OF much development
work and in due time the camp VIII be
come one of the most prominent pro
ducing mining districts of southern
