Congressman FavOrs
Boulevard System for
Traffic in Washington

Adoption Of the boulevard stop
system in Washington as a means
of improving traffic conditions is
recommended by Congressman Ed.
ward E. Browne, Of Wisconsin, in
letter today to Commissioner
James F. Oyster.
In practically all of the cities
OF the United States" his letter
says. "they have what is known
as a boulevard stop. In other
words all the side roads that come
into any main boulevard or arterial
highway have the word stop
painted across the center Of the
highway, the ordnance requiring
every motorist or the driver of
every vehicle to stop before COM
ing on to the boulevard or arterial
highway.
pennsylvania, Connecticut and
massachusetts, avenue and Sixteenth
street, and probably some others,
would be considered arterial high
ways. Sheridan Road, leading out
from Chicago to the state line of
Illinois through the various suburbs,
Is considered an arterial highway
ana no one driving motor car or
any other vehicle from an inter
section street can cross it without
ilrst coming to a stop and await
Ing his opportunity.
Il have never had an accident
IN driving an automobile, but in
the last three days 1 have come
very close to being run down by
motorist crossing one. of these
arterial highways, that have
named, from intersecting highways
ana doing so in a careless manner.
rms ordnance would be worth any
number Of traffic police. No city
Is IN need of such an ordnance
more than Washington"

SEES NEED
Of BUSL|NE
MERGER
Will Urge Traction Unit on
Congress-Scoffs at Plan
for Scent Fare.

If a merger Of the traction
facilities of Washington IL ever
brought about, 1t must include the
various bus lines now operating, IS
the position taken by Senator l..
Heisler Ball, chairman Of the Sen
ate. District committee. 1t Is prob
able he will introduce legislation in
the next Congress based upon it.
IF lower street car fares are
what Washington wants." says
Senator Ball, lit seems 20 me that
any amalgamation of our local trac-
ton companies must include the
buses. These vehicles are bound
to play an increasingly important
part, and we cannot leave them out
Of any legislation designed to lower
fares or to improve our traffic
facilities"
Senator Ball has completed his
task of gathering data relative to
the scent fare proposal which will
be revised in the next Congress by
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee. He
declares there is no prospect of the
Senate District committee ever sup
porting this proposal. for the reason
that it probably would lead the local
street railway companies into bank
ruptcy.
The traction issue is regarded by
Senator Ball as an integral part of
the general traffic situation which
the Senate committee is now in
vestigating. In the light of expert
testimony given to the Senate
District committee relating to the
clumsy routing Of cars in Washing
ton because of the dual traction
system and It's effect upon traffic
congestion, the Congressional inter-
est in a merger probably will be
stronger than ever in the coming
Congress.

Law
Electrical Engineer Must Give
Permission and Collect
So Fee.

Radio fans using outside aerials
must get a permit from the en-
gineer department of the Dis
trict government, members of the
police department were told today
by Major Daniel Sullivan, super
intendent of police.
Law Explained.
1T is violation of law" Major
Sullivan told the men. "for any
person to install radio sets where
an outside aerial is used, without
first obtaining a permit therefor
from the electrical engineer, and
such permit cannot be issued in
case 1t is proposed that any part
of the aerial or wires connected
Herewith are to be on or above
any public space"
No direct order is given the police
to arrest those using outside aeria1s
without permit, and it is under
stood Major Sullivan's action to-
day is in the nature of a general
warning. An order to the police
directing that all violators of this
law be arrested may be sent out
Wltn1n a week. IL Is SdlQ.
Law An Old One.
The law which says such permits
must be obtained, has been on the
books for many years. Officials
of the electrical engineer department
several days ago, it is said. brought
it to the attention Of the police
department.
Permits to install aerials may be
obtained for 50. However, before
permits are granted an inspector
from the engineer department must
inspect and approve the aerial.
Thousands of radio fans in
Washington will now be compelled
to get a permit, it was said today.
Major Sullivan also invited the
attention of the police to the fact
that it is in violation of law for
any private individual to string
wires in, along, or across any
street, avenue, alley, or public
thoroughfare or public property Of
any description
The action of the police today is
said to be result. Of the death
of Park Policeman Allen, who was
killed while putting up a radio

The education of school children in

':superpower" Already Is in
Existence in South and
West, Report Shows.
By PHILIP. A. ORNIE.


What is a "superpower zone?"
The average layman, whose
knowledge of electricity is con-
fined to the operation of the
ignition system of his automobile
and the door bell and perhaps
the telephone, generally miscon-
ceives the meaning of the term.
He is inclined to regard it as a
visionary scheme which future
years may bring to pass. He
thinks in terms of vast and
vaster central plants, transmits
sion lines and auxiliary stations.
Is Here Now.
"a great thing, but too ex-
pensive," is liable to be his COM
ment
Along these lines, officials of the
E0deral Water Power Commission,
who are protecting the interests of
the people in the natural resources
of river and lake and promoting
the development of those over which
they have jurisdiction, have much
to say of an explanatory nature.
''Superpower," says the commits
sion in its Just-released their an
nual report, and Familiarity welding
the two words into one, 'is not
something for the future. 1t is
with us now, and has been for
several years. :
Pacific Coast Unit.
And. as an instance of the pres
emit existence OF this revolutionary
indust rial institution, the commits
sion points to the shining example
Of the circuit being forged in the
West, and to another nearer the
readers of this paper.
Out there, where things are done
in a way as big as the comprising
mountains and boundless common
weaIths are hewn from lands cnce
the haunt of the warrior Indian,
the grizzly and seemingly eternal
solitude, they have made super
power a living actually. There
now remain just four little gaps to
close for completion Of an inter
connected system along the Pacific
coast stretching from British Co.
lumbia to Mexico, a distance Of
400 miles, or as far as from here
to Miami. Fla. The gaps total but
70 miles.
Almost At d. G. Door.
The South Atlantic States boast
interconnections through Alabama,
Georgia, North and South Carolina,
and Tennessee, with extensions pro-
jected into Kentucky, the Virginias
and Ohio. 1t Is probable that the
superpower belt running down from
Boston to Richmond will be in
operation within G. few years. 1t
is to this that Washington would
be hooked up, through the great
hydroeIectric development for
which Congressman who are true

every effort to obtain authorize
