D. c. Heads to Act on Rules

Permit Methods.

New traffic regulations which have
been in the making for several
months will be laid before the
Commissioners tomorrow for final ap-
proval.
If they are adopted the rules will
be published as a legal notice in
the newspapers Immediately and will
become effective thirty days after
such notice.
The new rules will be known as
lations and will be an improve
ment for motorists in that all sec
tions applying to traffic will be in
corporated in that one article.
Many Former Rules Dropped.
1t is understood that many sec
tions of the old traffic regulations
have been dropped. others revised
and new ones written.
1t is expected that the most i'm
portant section of the new rules will
be one frightening up" the method of
issuing permits to drive motor
vehicles. At present any person can
obtain an operators permit by swear
ing that he has had two weeks ex-
perience.
Adoption of the new rules and their
publication will be welcomed by hun
dredS of men and women who have
Joined the ranks of the motorists in
the past three months. for during that
time the District building has been
without copies of the existing traffic
regulations.
Now Depend on Friends
The Commiss ioners have hesitated
to print more copies of the old regu-
lations while new ones were being
drafted.
Thousands of men and women have
been licensed to drive, however. since
the last edition of the traffic laws ran
out. and have had to depend on friends
for knowledge of the laws they
must obey.

Mr.. Fess warned against the

during the period of war, and also
that our regard for the rights of
others is more loose, but l do be-
lieve we are nearer the promise of
sober nation than we would have
been without the war"

and conditions of illiteracy have
brought to the attention of the ma
