AS a woman was leaving an entrance

wind caught up her new spring hat

Then. presto. it disappeared.

bonnet stopped short-bafled, puzzled.
The hat was gone; no one knew where.
The woman, hatless. made n thorough
search everywhere, and inquired of the

TEST TRAFFIC LIGHTS
Electric System Tried Out at Broad
and Arch Streets

An electric light system for regulat-
ing traffic was tried out for the first
time today at Broad and Arch streets.
This system is identical with that used
in Fifth avenue, New York. The lights.
however. are smaller and are mounted
on a standard instead of on n tower.
The policeman who manipulates the
buttons-in this case Traffic Patrolman
Hummell--stands beside the standard
A red light signifies that traffic is
stopped; a green light that traffic is
about to be closed and white light that
traffic is open.
The movements Of Hummell and the
effect Of the new system on motorists
and pedestrians was carefully watched
from the corner by Captain Shultz. of
the traffic squad, and Chief McLaugh :
lin. of the Electrical Bureau, who de L.
signed the lights.
After a couple hours Of observation
they declared that it was wholly salts

sion. As It is now the commission
makes investigations and reports for
the benefit of Congress. Congress pays
little attention to its determinations,
but log-rolls n bill together In the cs-
tablished fashion.
Eliminates Revision
Under the new law all the President
has to do is to ask the commission for
advice as to the application Of maxi
mum and minimum rates. The com =
mission will report to him what the rate
should be within the limits set BY law.
Then he may order. the rate so deter :
mined into effect. Assuming the maxi /.
mum not too high and the minimum not
too low. there will be little occasion for
Congress to revise rates again.
Of course, II the commission fixes Q
rate which an industry is not satisfied
with, the industry may appeal to Con
gress. But in that case one rate will
come before Congress at a time. There
will be no opportunity for log rolling
and the rate Is likely to be considered
on its merits. :.
All this. Of course, is true only II
there Is not n change of administration
committed to a general revision of the
tariff. Even then, assuming the Demo.
cratic Party is satisfied with the mini
mum rates in the law and the Republi
can Party is satisfied with the high
rates, there will be no occasion for a
general revision. Party changes in the
tariff commission will bring about
changes of rates conformable to party
opinion.
AS a matter Of fact the tariff is dis
appearing as an issue. The great force
behind the demand for high duties in
the past has been the manufacturing
interests. 1t has not manifested Itself
here in the present fight. Many manu- .
facturers look to foreign markets Hand
incline toward free trade.
High Rate Idea May Pass
If the farmers had not become con
vinced that their salvation lay In pro
lection, there would have been little
demand for high rates in the present
Congress. The farmers will have a
chance to test almost prohibitive duties
under the new law. To obtain them
they have worked against their own in.
terest to a certain extent, og-rolling
for other high duties which will in
crease the price of the manufactured
articles to them.
The emergency pratss have not done
the farmers any good. And If after the
new rates have been put into effect the
farmers see no advantage In high duties,
the whole demand for extreme protec-
tiOn may collapse.

ALLIED PROPOSAL
STACCERS SOVIET

Genoa. April 12.-(By A. P.)-Thc
Russian Soviet delegation to the Eco
nomic Conference is staggered and
amazed at the sweeping political
changes in the Soviet government sug-
gested in the report of the allied ex-
ports on Russia, now before the sub
commission entrusted with formulating
plans for Russian reconstruction.
Lenine. Trotzky. Chicherin and other
Of the Bolshevik leaders have repeatedly
said that the recognition of Russia $
oil debts would be a subject for ne
sotiatons looking toward the recognition
at the Soviet republic.
The demands embodied in the report
f0r general recognition Of the tights Of
personal property and better protection
for foreigners contemplate changes in
the Soviet government, however. which
would in the opinion of the Russian
delegation as expressed today, wipe! !
out communism utterly and impair the
Sovereignty of the Russian govern :
nent.
George Chicherin, head Of the Russian
delegation, has asked Signor Schanzrr.
as chairman of the principal sub com
mission, for exact Interpretation Of sew
sral points in the plan.
NJ. Chitcherir desires specifically an
explanation of that part of the report
dealing with the guarantees to be ex-
tended to foreigners in Russia, remark
Ing that in other European countries
foreigners are treated like citizens of
the countries in which they reside.
As the report has not received the
formal approval Of the Powers which
convoked the Genoa conference it is
held in soms quarters to be merely the
basis for the opening of negotiations.
Maxim Litvinoff, OF the Russian dele
CATION, after attending this morning the
meeting Of the financial commission,
said: "At our request the meeting OF
the sub. commission in which the re-
port will be discussed in detail has been
postponed from Thursday to Friday
when we hope to have it better di-
gested."
