AUT0.L|MlT MAY Be
15 MILES AN HOUR
Commissioner Oyster Consid-
,ers CurtaiIment of 18-MiIe
Privilege in D. c.

A reduction from eighteen to fifteen
miles an hour in the speed limit for
automobiles may be the next step in
the campaign of Commissioner Oyster
to improve traffic conditions.
The Comm ssioner declared today
that he is inclined to believe that a
reduction in the speed limit might
help to reduce accidents and he has
discussed the question with Capt.
Headley, head of the traffic bureau.
No decision in the matter has been
arrived at. however.
Go . Little Faster.
There are many people," said the
Commissioner, who feel that the
speed limit should be greater, rather
than lowered The great trouble is.
however. that some people show
tendency to go little faster than
the limit. They may not always do
SO with the intention OF violating
the law, but with an eighteen-mile
limit you will find some going at
twenty miles an hour. and II the
limit was fifteen miles there would be
some driving at eighteen miles an
hour
The Commissioner renewed his de-
Termination to round up permanent
Washingtonians who are using Vir-
ginia tags throughout the year with
out a District tag. in order to avoid
buying a Maryland tag. This. practice
is resorted to because a Virginia tag
Is good, both in Maryland and the Dis
trict, whereas a District tag is not
recognized in Maryland.
Tag Law Violations.
Motorists from every state except
Maryland are permitted to remain in
the District for stated number of
days on their home state tag. but 1t
is a violation of law tor a local resi-
dent to drive his car month after
month on a foreign tag.
The Commissioner Is confident that
if Maryland and the District could
agree on a plan of reciprocity, the
practice of using Virginia tags only
would die out.
Capt. Headley reported to Commits
sioner Oyster that only one accident
during the entire month of July, re-
suited in a death. and that did not
occur until the last day of the month.
The number of traffic arrests during
July was about the same as for June.

Recent suggestions that corn may
be used as fuel in Iowa this winter,
due to it's low price, have again
brought up the question: Is corn
a cheap fuel?
Iowa State college Investigators
believe it is not They say coal
will have to go much higher or
corn become almost valueless before
it will pay to burn the food. They
base their belief Jon experimental
work carried on by the engineering
experiment station in which corn
was analysed in comparison with
coal for heating qualities.
The engineering experiment sta
ton in its laboratories found that
Iowa coal which generally sells
around $40 per ton would have to
sell at $40 per ton before it would
begin to pay to burn corn worth Al
cents for a 75-pound bushel. They
also found that corn is a poor burn
er, acting like green cord wood
and requiring a lot OF attention in
firing.

= ''Why are you peddling that rot

Judge Fisher of Mrs Wing, Thursday
afternoon, after Lee Wing and his
wife of Hamburg were arrested at
the fair grounds on a charge of sell
ing liquor.
at isn't rotten stuff I'll have
you understand that" Mrs. Wing re-
monstrated more or less piqued, and
added, "I'll bring you down bottle
some day and you can find out for
yourself"
Roy Garst, employed by Wing,
was arrested at the same time and
was released to appear later when
the trial of Wing and his wife will
be held.

LIE Barron. who noticed several men
going to the Wing automobile which
stood on the grounds. Each took a
drink from the same thermos bottle.
On accosting the woman who was
dispensing the drinks he was told
that it was ice water she was giving
away, but refused to let him taste
of it. Officer lie Barron loaded
Wing, his wife and Garst into
Wings car and brought them to
Shenandoah. The Jail being full,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wing were released by
Judge Fisher, who permitted them
to go to their home near Hamburg.
Wing is said to be a large land
owner and wealthy. He has a race
horse entered ht the Shenandoah
fair, which he secured few days
ago in a trade. Mrs. Wing was
formerly Mary Griggs, daughter of
Mrs. Griggs, who managed the Su-
