.ONE-WAY STREETS
ABOLITION ASKED
Merchants and Manufactur'
ers' Association Presents
Plea to D. c. Heads.

Abolition of one-way streets in the
downtown business area and a one
hour parking limitation in the same
territory is urged by the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association in a
communication received today by
Commissioner Rudolph from Anton
Stephan president of the association.
The letter declared that the one-way
streets have brought about conses-
tion rather than Improvement in the
traffic situation.
During two periods OF the day,
morning and evening, the downtown
streets may be said to be particularly
crowded" said the letter. Before the
introduction of the one-way streets
automobiles could reach the down
town section more quickly and safely
by use of all of the streets. rather r
than now. when the southbound
streets are packed with automobiles
and the northbound streets have
scarcely any vehicular traffic. One
way streets act as a. deterrent to busi-
ness activity on such thoroughfares.
This Is most unfortunate imposition
upon the property owners on these
streets without benefit to the public in
general"
The Commissioners will give serious
consideration to the recomm enda-
tions at their next board meeting.

LONDON. September S.-Some Sc

mans for damaging airplanes in
flight is believed, says the Daily
Mail, to be the explanation of near
ly thirty forced landings by
French machines in German terri
tory since the Ruhr occupation.
The Mails Vienna correspondent
gives a British air experts theory
that by some wireless way known
only to the Germans magnetos are
put out of action. Another theory
Is that rays affecting certain met
ais in vital parts are directed to
the machines by reflectors. 1t being
noticed that the forced landings oc-
cur generally on fine days.
Germany confiscates all machines

ritory. In one instance, 1t is said,
a pilot was able to discover an un-
accountable hole in the oil tank
