SPEED LIMIT SIGNS AS AID
TO MARYLAND MOTORISTS
Good Roads Board of Auto Club
Suggests Markers For Cities
And Highways of State

1t has been suggested by the Good
Roads Board of the Automobile Club
Of Maryland that the streets of the
cities of Maryland and highways of
the State in general be marked in
such a way as to warn the motorist
Of speed laws.
To bring this about it has been
suggested by the board that city au-
thorities paint on the various streets
at certain intervals the warning:
Speed limit IS miles per hour" and
that the highway department do like
wise on all of the highways of the
State generally, using, of course.
cross roads and approaches to con-
gested intersections in the cities and
on the roadways.
The method suggested above has
been found effective in other cities
and states of the nation.
It is suggested that a white as
phaltic paint be used. It has been
found, upon investigation. that this
material will resist the elements
more effectively than any other. and
its wearing qualities are much better
than the ordinary white lead prod
uct," said a member Of the good
roads board.
The board Of the Automobile Club
| Of Maryland feels that the average
motorist does not wish to intention
ally violate the law, but in many in
stances does so by reason Of ignor-
ance. 1t is argued that by following
the method of warning suggested,
motorists visiting in the state would
be advised of just what is expected
in the matter Of speed limitations,
and would help in d material way to
reduce the number Of violations.
The Automobile Club of Maryland
contends that a fragrant violator of
the law should be prosecuted and
punished, but it further believes that
Judgment should be used in enforcing
our laws and every care taken to &C
quaint the motorist with facts that
will assist him in obeying the various
regulatory measures.
1t is the intention Of the Good
Roads Board to present this
Suggestion to the city authorities and
the Highway Department, in the hope
/ that some favorable action will bD

City Heads Defeat Proposal
to Permit Higher Speed
Limit.
CHANGE IN HEADLIGHT
REGULATION REJECTED
Minor Changes in Rules Suggested
by Traits Body Ap-
proved.

\ reckless driving regulation was
as the latest and most far reaching
step to reduce accidents. The regula
ton reads as follows:
mo vehicle or street car shall be
operated upon any of the public high
ways of the District of Columbia III
such manner or condition as to en-
danger the life or limb of any person
or the safety of property"
The recommendation of the traffic
committee for an increase in the
speed limit within the city proper
from eighteen to twenty miles an
hour and for an increase to twenty
five miles on outlying suburban high
ways was voted down. 1t was the
opinion of the board that the present
speed limit be retained
The board also took no action on p
new headlight law recommended by
the traffic committee. and decided
that the present regulati On on this
subject be continued.
To Fix Penalty.
The amounts of penalty that will he
imposed for violations of the reckless
driving statute were not known to-
day. but will be fixed before the reg
ulation goes into effect thirty days
from today
Another recommendation of the
committee approved by the Commits
sioners provides that when the
driver of any vehicle intends to go
out from the curb or from any park
ing space he shall indicate such in
tention by an unmistakable signal.
and shall not go out in such manner
s to interfere with moving traffic
approaching from either direction.
The Comm iSSlOners retained the pres
ent regulation requiring drivers to
stop fifteen feet behind a street car
taking on or discharging passengers.
The new regulation. however, con-
tanned the statements that when
drivers are passing a street car load
ing platform they shall exercise great
caution and shall not exceed a speed
of twelve miles an hour.
The Commissioners also amended
one of the sections under the head
ing of passing. turning and backing"
The section amended is known as
B" and now reads as follows:
Must Pass to Left.
"A vehicle overtaking another shall
pass to the left, Of the vehicle so over
taken; provided, however, that no We
hicle shall pass another going in the
same direction at a street interSec-
tion or at any place where the view
of the road is obscured"
The Commissioners also declared
section one-way thoroughfares.
Park road from lith TO 18th street
will be for westbound traffic only.
Monroe street from New Hampshire
avenue to 18th street will be for

BERLIN. April 24-The German
government will submit its new.repa-
rations plan by the end of this week.
Conferences as to the amount to be
offered to the allies are still continu-
ing daily, and bitter fights are taking
place over the question. According
to reports from Wilhelmstrasse, the
parties which are represented in the
present cabinet still cling to their
offer of 10000. 100000 gold marks.
whereas the socialists and democrats
stand out for 35,000,000,000 as the
basis Of the reparations payments.
Fall Back ON Cuno's Offer.
In regard to Frances demand for
security. Germany will fall back
upon Chancellor Cuno's offer made in
a speech last December to enter into
an agreement under which neither
side can attack the other within the
next thirty years without the con-
sent of the allied powers and the
United States. A new feature to be
contained in the next note will be an
offer to extend this period another
ten. twenty or more years.
In diplomatic and political circles
in Berlin. where these details Of the
new offer became known today. it is
feared that the terms will not be far
reaching enough to satisfy France
even If Great Britain urged her to
begin negotiations on this basis.
See Flat Rejection.
Besides, 1t is believed that when
Germany asks for the withdrawal of
the French troops from the Ruhr and
promises to increase her coal deliv-
cries the proposal will be fatty re-
jected.
Director Havenstein's attack on the
German industrialists. in which he
accuses them of having failed to do
their duty in the present crisis, is
widely commented on in today's
newspapers. Vorwaerts saws that the
capitalists. headed by Hugo SHINES.
are responsible for the new depreci-
alton Of the mark. 1t charges that
they have systematically thrown bill
lions of marks on the market to get
