LEATHER HUT PROPOSED
FOR TRAFFIC POI tEEMEN
Capt. Headley Examines Model c1
Arrangement for Protection
Against Weather. -.

Capt. Headley of the traffic bureau
has before him for examination a
small model Of q proposed hut to pro-
tect crossing policemen from weather
such as the District is enjoying"
today.
The model resembles a tent. the
lower half being made of leather,
with isingiass from the waist up
There. is a small openfng in the
top through which the pole of the
semaphore now in use could be pro-
jected into the air and operated by
the policeman inside.
Capt. Headley does not believe it
would be practical to place huts in
the center Of the streets. He said
today relief already is being afforded
the trafic policemen on extremely
cold days by allowing them to ex-
change places with the patrolman on
the beat at intervals.
At the suggestion Of Commissioner
Oyster, who has taken an interest in
the difficulties of the traffic police
mans job in winter, Capt. Headley
is considering what additional relief
can be given these men, who must
stand for eight hours exposed to the
full force Of wind, rain and snow.

period. Hence the treaty appears
| rather as a gesture of friendliness
and is far from being the al
lance which brands opponents de-
manded and Brands supporters
promised.
To. obtain this from Britain, BRAND
has accepted in principle the recog-
milton of the Russian soviets and the
granting of a moratorium to Ger
many. Already growls Of discomfort
from the French senate and cham-
Der have. penetrated to Cannes and
have evoked something of remon-
STRANGE. from BRAND. Extremists
make no secret OF the fact that what
!! they wanted was an alliance by which
Britain would guarantee the security
Of. eastern European states. like
Poland and Rumania, which are un-
der French political influence. Pre-
mter BRAND In conference with
British and American newspaper cor
the present treaty was only be-
ginning. He said that other prob
lens. like the Angora treaty, would
be considered later. and suggested
that the agreement would germfnate
into. full understanding approxi-
mating a treaty concerning all Anglo
French differences. This will he the
view which he will present to the
chamber next week, but for the pres
ent the French gains are not very
important.
|, Arms Cuts Undecided.
|, What interests the United States
most is that the treaty comprises
no French agreement to reduce land
armament. although NJ. BRAND said
yesterday that France would reduce
her army in, proportion as she gained
security in the future. He said that
submarines have not been mentioned
at Cannes They remain on Frances
program pending further settlements
with Britain.
More hopeful is the prospect that
Belgium and Italy will join in a
still in the conversation stage.
Further. Lloyd, George has a plan to
propose. to. all tho nations. at the
c noa conference. namely. that they
shall not attack each other. By this
proposal he hopes to secure the paci-
fication OF Europe, which the United
States demands before joining fully
in the reconstruction schemes. Pre-
mier Bonomi. who will preside at the
Genoa conference, is now preparing
to send invitations to every Euro
pean country. even to the smallest.
and to- the United States, Japan and
the British dominions.

Of its value" said one of Lloyd
Georges foremost economic advisers
to the writer today. She now has
uselessly locked up IN her vaults much
more than half the worlds total sup
ply of gold coin and bullion. If the
United States refuses to help organize
markets for her products Europe will
do without the gold and continue on
currency basis. This can well con-
tinue for a generation. IT,. conse-
quently, the demand for gold ceases
over q large part of the civilized
world its price VIII DROP. and the
United States may find that her gold
has lost a fifth or fourth of it's
value
1t seems, evident that while the
British economists who have studied
the scheme ardently desire the United
