EIGHT DAYS OF ZERO.

During the past eight days this sec
ton has experienced below-zero wealth
er, starting on Tuesday of last week
with enough snow fall to cover tho
ground well. On last Sunday there
was more snow, bringing the depth up
six to eight inches. Clear skies have
been the rule, with the mercury reach
ing from 4 to 26 degrees below dur
ing the eight-day period. This is the
longest continuous below-zero period
known here since the establishment of
the local government weather station,
fifteen years ago.

WHEAT SOARING.

just where the price of wheat 10
going before another crop reaches the
market is as uncertain as it always
has been. Our only regret Is that the
prairie farmers have not now on hand
all they raised during the last two
years, anyway. But most Of them
have sold.
Last Saturday the cereal reached
its highest figure here since 1920
Then J. g. Wright, the pioneer local
dealer, sold ear of bluestem that
brought SLIT on the coast market, or
$3.50 IL here; and the white variety
commanded still higher price. A
car Of Big Bend blue stem sold on the
coast one day last week at $1.97.

station was put into commission one
night last week and Benjamin F.

the Introductory talk over it. His
speech was heard vew clearly by sew

they called the attention of our fell

This means at least that there has
been developed another radio bug in

AVERAGE WAGE
RULE MADE
BY NJ CARL
Employees ReaIIocated on APP
peal Before July I Are
Exempt

Comptroller General McCarl to-
day issued an important ruling with
respect to the re-allocation Of Fed
eral workers under the classified
ton act.
Employees who have been re-allo-
Gated on appeal made in advance of
July /, the decision says, are exempt
from the provisions of the average
salary class" Of the classification
law and can receive the maximum
salary of the grade to which they
are allocated.
The finding discriminates between
the employees who are reallocated
and those who are transferred or
promoted. The latter employees are
subject to the provisions Of the
average clause" which In many
instances works to prevent them
from receiving as large a salary
in a higher grade as they were
receiving in the lower grade from
which they were promoted.
The decision affects thousands
Of Federal workers who have been
reallocated in the past few months.
The Personnel Classification Board
has changed the ALLEGATION Of these
workers on appeal and the finding
clears up any doubt as to their
right to receive the maximum salary
in the grade in which they are
placed.

INSPECTOR
/. NEGLECTS
WARN
PUBLIC
Pedestrians and Motorists
Alike Are Puzzled and
Send in Protests

Washington witnessed one Of
the worst traffic jams in recent
months today when Inspector AL
bert ]. Headley, chief of the
traffic bureau, put into operation
a new traffic system in the down
town section.
The new system consists Of per-
hitting pedestrians thirty seconds
to get across the street after the
automobile traffic has been sig
nailed to go.
Warning Not Given.
Very little, II any advance infor-
nation had been given motorists
or pedestrians of the change, and
as a consequence neither motorists
nor pedestrians knew what they
were expected to do,
Inspector HeadIey announced to-
day that beginning tomorrow he
would try giving pedestrians III
teen seconds to pass after the
traffic signal has been turned.
Traffic policemen this morning
turned the stop signs, allowed auto
mobiles to pass, and then, before
changing the sign again, blew q
whistle. After 80 seconds, the stop
sign was turned and traffic in the
opposite direction allowed to pass.
Each time the sign changed, pedes-
TRANS were given 80 seconds to
cross.
Brought Many Protests.
The pedestrian regulation resulted
in many protests to Inspector Head
ley.
This rule to allow pedestrians 80
seconds to cross is not new" In.
spector Headley said. I'VE are
only enforcing it vigorously now"
Inspector Headley pointed out
that the pedestrians do not follow
the policeman's whistle as closely
as motorists.
At Fourteenth and Pennsylvania
avenue motorists, irritated at the
delay, kept up a constant sound
ing of horns. Pedestrians, unac-
QudIHIeu Win the EuleS renamed
on street corners, undecided wheth-
er to cross or not.
Inspector Headley said that the
traffic men have been instructed
to protect the pedestrians:
Most of the confusion resulted
from the fact that many drivers did
not understand the system, and
when the signal was changed
started to cross Immediately instead
Of waiting the designated thirty
seconds :
The system was put into effect
at all Of the, downtown street inter
sections. If successful, traffic bu-
reau officials say. it will be con-
tinued and regular apparatus viii
be installed to signal drivers when
the thirty seconds start and stop.
