Emo Finds Counsellor Hart
Opposed to Proposed Rules
Because of Ambiguity.

FESTIVE because the District
Commissioners failed to adopt the
set of proposed new traffic regu-
lations as framed by the special
committee named by them for
this purpose, William p. Emo,
chairman of the Commissioner
committee, has called his COM
mitteemen together for meet
ing to be held in the board room
of the District Building this after
noon,
Finds Hart Opposed.
The Commissioners suggested to
ar. Emo yesterday that he hold an
other meeting of his committee as
soon as possible.
. After a conference with the Dis
trict COMMISSIONER yesterday while
they were in board sessions, Emo
with unconcealed chagrin over the
decision of the Commissioners not
to adopt the regulations as they
now stand, said that he understood
they met the approval 6 every
member of his committee.
1t is understood that this is not
the case, and that Assistant Colpo.
ration Counsel Ringgold Hart is
opposed to the regulations as they
now stand on account Of their am.
biguity. 1t is further understood
that if the regulations, as APP.
proved by Mr.. Emo, took prece.
dence over the language now in
the Districts traffic code. that
many drastic changes which have
not been forecast would come into
effect.
The opinion among the officials
is that the traffic regulations as
they now stand are more educa-
tional suggestions than they are
regulations which could be promptly
interpreted by the court and en-
forced.
Puts 1t Up to Policeman.
For instance the proposed set .of
traffic regulations, as they now
stand, would change the speed
limit of automobiles from a pre-
scribed eighteen miles an hour to
a reasonable" speed, leaving it UP
to the traffic policeman to exercise
his judgment whether or not the
motorist is going beyond a "rea.
sonable" pace.
At today's meeting, it is expected
that the items over which friction
exists at this time, will be ironed
out and that the committee will be
able to whip into shape a set of
traffic regulations which will have
the unanimous support of the spe
cia traffic committee named by
the District Commissioners.

Washington Social Center
System to Be Copied
Throughout East.

A ten.year program of expansion
in the mems social department of
the Salvation Army, which will
affect practically every State east
of Illinois and cost the people
nothing but their waste paper and
household goods. has been ,defin.
itely decided upon by the congress
of Salvation Army social depart
ment officers now, in session at
the Evangeline Booth Residence for
Young Women, at 1880 L street
northwest.
The dedication of the new social
service center at 102-118 B street
northwest, next Monday, with Dis
trict Commissioner Cuno H. Ru.
dolph as the presiding officer, will
be the actual beginning of the new
program. This building is regarded
as model which will be standard
lied and copied in new building
enterprises throughout the Eastern
and Southern States.
During 1928, the first year of the
decade of advancement; it is def
nitely planned that Salvation Army
industrial homes modelled after the
new Washington structure shall be
opened in five cities where there is
no such work at present, and that
in eight cities the present buildings
shall be rebuilt or replaced by new
ones. In ten years the plans pro-
vides that the social department
shall be operating '106 ], industrial
homes and social centers through
out the Eastern and Southern
States, instead of fifty-six which
is the present number.
This program will solve many
problems for many Cities said
Col. Edward J. Parker. head Of the
social department. during this
mornings session of the congress,
land will cost these cities nothing"
''It is a program that we shall be
able to accomplish without asking
anybody for a nickle. But let me
point out that 1 am speaking only
for the mems social department of
self-supporting. The people will be
err branches Of our work, as they
are doing at present"
1t was pointed out during the
discussion Of the program that the
average citizen who turns over a
pile of discarded newspapers or an
old stove, chair, or suit of clothes.
has little or no realization of the
constructive work that these ma
terials are enabling the salvation
Army to do In the industrial
homes and social centers to which
these things are taken, the process
followed IL to bring human drift
wood and material waste together
to make something useful. The re-
sult of this process is regenerated
human beings and salvaged articles
that enable poor people to furnish
their houses. and buy clothing at
very little cost The waste paper
is sorted, baled and sold, any prof
it's accruing from the transaction
being used to further the work in
just such programs as the one now
launched.
