Edmonds Would Change Method of
Taxing in District.

Change in the method of taxing ma
rine insurance in the District is pro-
posed in a bill introduced i'm the
House yesterday by Representa- tive
George w Edmonds of Pennsylvania
This would levy on the net under
writing profits instead of on the gross
receipts of the company. Representa-
tive Edmonds explained that the pur-
pose is to put American companies on
a competitive par with marine insur-
ance companies in other countries.
The law proposed for the District
would be taken as a model for legis-
lation throughout the states.
A bill extending the net loss pro-
visions of the revenue act of 1918 to
cover losses sustained by taxpayers
during 1920 on the basis of 1919 in

Accident week" and with the police
and private citizens on the alert. the
week of safety is yielding good re-
suits. according to an official of the
motor corps of the Home Defense
League
Arrests are now totaling in the

ing more interest in safety than ever
before is evidenced by the many sug-
gestlons heard on all sides. Drivers
who have been content in the past to
get along the best way they could are
now taking live interest in all traf-
fic problems.
In connection with the right and
lett hand turns at intersections or in
the middle of the streets there seems
to be much confusion as to the proper
signals
The regulation in this respect as
prepared by Capt. Albert Headley.
chief of the traffic squad of the
metropolitan ponce department, is as
follows:
eft hand drive car--In making a
left turn. edge off toward the middle
of the street, left arm straight out !;
right hand turn. edge in close to the
curb before reaching the corner, put
left hand straight out and inscribe
small circle with wrist, indicating
that all cars should pass you on the
left. as YOU intend leaving the street
at the intersections; for stopping or
slowing down. hand out and up, the
same as a traffic officer would do II
stopping you.
Right hand drive car--In making a
left turn. edge off to the middle of
the street before reaching the inter-
section. extend right hand straight
out. and describe small circle, indi-
eating to other cars to pass you on
the right; right hand turn, hand
straight out after edging off to the
curb; and for stopping or slowing
down. hand out and up.
In many cases, it has been pointed
out, the same signal is used for all
turns, to the great confusion Of motor
| lists in the rear of the car about to
make the turn.

MOTOR CORPS AIDING
POLICE BY ACTIVITY

During mo Accident week" Motor
Corps members are rendering valu-
able service to the police, by assisting
In the proper observance of the law
according to w. Pearce Rayner, COM
mander Of the corps.
To acquaint each member of the
organization thoroughly as to his
duties during the week, Commander
Rayner has sent personal letter ia
the 220 members. pointing out what
should be done to make the week an
object lesson for every driver and
walker in the city.
Each Motor Corps man, according
to Mr.. Rayner, is expected to have
the Motor Corps shield attached to
ms car, and to set a good example to
other drivers.
Portions of the letter follow:
TT is suggested that each member
of the Motor Corps first see that his
own car Is in safe running condition;
that the brakes and steering gear are
properly adjusted; that the headlights
are properly equipped with DETECTING
lenses; that the bulb in the lamp is
properly focused, and that the lamps
themselves are tilted forward if
necessary to keep. dangerous glares
from binding the eyes Of approaching
drivers.
ALSO. as this is the month in which
new license tags are mounted that
license tags be carefully inspected to
insure that the District of Columbia
number is above any other number
and that every figure on the number
plate Is clearly Illuminated by tail
lamp placed to the left of the rear
OF the car SO as to be read easily
at greater distances than forty feet.
The leaving of small crack between
the two license plates is frequent
cause of District of Columbia numbers
being continually dirty. as the lower
tag defects the exhaust gases and
SCOT over the face of the District of
Columbia number.
In cases of collisions where prop
erty Is damaged or persons injured
and there is no policeman on the
scene, 1t is expected that Motor Corps
members win stop and render any
assistance possible. and also take
down for the benefit of the police
department the numbers of the cars,
names OF the principals with their
permit numbers. which should be ex-
hibited on. request to any citizen"

Russian Pianist Delights His

Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Russian pianist

was at his best In a programme. whlch
began with Beethoven's fiat Sonata
opus 22. and contained further only ro-
mantle music.
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch's exposition OF the
Sonata was of poetical conception
throughout; his playing of the adaslo
was a 10y long to be remembered, for
its grace and tender feeling. The sec
ond number. Cesar Francks prelude
choral and fugue. he played with purity
of STYLE and noble feeling. Two pieces
of Schumann, one of Shubert-his u
fiat impromptu, opus 142--one by Weber
and two of Chopin. constituted the other
numbers. In an "Arabesque," opus Is
and an Novelette," opus SO. by Schu
mann, there was, in particular, proao
gamut Of imagination.
snowy piece was a rondo by Weber
called Ia Gaiety." 1t was played with
much DASH humor and fine accentuation,
and ended with a crashing forte chord
in which, alas, there was one bad false
note. This piece caught the fancy OF
the auditors. He closed with Chopin

color and in the latter a dazzling diplay

SWEEPING FLIGHTS IN
NYREDGHAZPS RECITAL
Pianist Deepens impression
of His First Appearance.

Erwin Nyredghazi's second piano r.
cital which resounded through The
spaces of Carnegie Hall yesterday after
noon. served to deepen the impression
made by his first Yesterdays pro-
gramme was not planned for bewlder-
ing display of the feats of virtuoso
yet 1t left in the mind picture of ex-
traordinary achievements in thunders OF
sorority and sweeping flights OF agility
rather than memories of poetic eloquenct
or intellectual grasp.
Mr.. Nyredghazi does not seem to care
for the singing quality of the piano. he
plays a cantilena with spiccato effect
and with a singularly cold tone. The
latter Is doubtless due in part to the
brilliant regulation of the piano, mat
ter, of course, of his own choice. The
slow movement Of Beethovens "Sonata
Appassionata" he treated as q study ir
tonal architecture rather than an opu
lent exfoliation of melody as Bee
thoven's variations really are. 1t was
clean, crisp, fluent piano playing, but i
was chilling.

sustained tone OF the power and flexi.

after the first recital He plays in the

of what Is called tone color. Dynamics

and containing Rybner's concerto in q
ninc~ said to be performed for the first
time IN this country. Mr.. EngePs re-
cital offered little material upon which
to base comment
The young man had evidently studied
his instrument honestly and he played
with care and generally with accuracy.
But his style was so immature that the
music under his bow flowed away with
the faintest Of spirit. The impression
made was that of a youth feeling his
way through the mists of an art and I'M
certain of arriving at any destination.
