AUTO RECIPROCITY
lessons TAG FUND
Superintendent of Licenses Reports
Years Revenue $33, ,76O.76 Be-
low 1928 Collection.

Revenue taken in by Supt. of
Licenses Wade H. Coombs during the
fiscal year just ended fell $33,760.76
short of the preceding twelve months,
principally because automobile reci-
procity with Maryland was in effect
for six months.
In his annual report submitted to
Commissioner Rudolph today Mr..
Coombs states. the total amount col
lected by his office last year was
s579.O9I59, as compared with s612,-
$685. for the year ended Jure 80,
1923.
The number of automobile tags is
sued in the past twelve months was
Y3,400, against 100,015 the previous
year. While this is a decrease OF
nearly 1000 in the total number OF
tags, it represents an actual increase
in the number sold to Washingtonians
because no tags for the calendar year
1924 are being sold to Marylanders.
The number of tags sold is not an
accurate index to the number of au-
tomobiles on the streets of the city
for the reason that every time the
same car changes hands it must have
new set of tags. Mr. Coombs is con-
f1dent, however, that there is a sub
stantial increase in the number of ma
chimes in use this year over last year.
Miscellaneous business licenses is
sued during the past fiscal year netted
$16S,55S.59 in revenue

HEAVY RUN OF MAIL.
DISPATCHED BY AIR.
Postal Officials Convinced of
Need of Service on Third
Day of Flight.
By the Associated Press.

Ds the hssOCldteu freSS.
CHICAGO, July 3.-Transcontinenta
mail planes were rushing through
the air with businesslike regularity
today, the third day of the new
coast-to-coast day-and-night air mail
The heavy run of air mail con-
tinued, satisfying Col. Paul Hender-
son, assistant Postmaster General
that business generally had found
the new service helpful.
The percentage of curiosity letters
is exceedingly SMALL" he added
To date the traffic between New
York and San Francisco is. of course,
the heaviest, Col. Henderson said, and
that between Chicago and New York
is second, with the mail carried be-
tween Chicago and San Francisco
third.
AS to the actual amount of mail
dispatched from cities, New York and
Sap Francisco are virtually equal.
Mail in about equal quantities is be-
ing carried east and west.
The mail planes today were keep
ing close to schedules. although the
eastbound mail was delayed thirty
five minutes at Iowa City when Pilot
r. c. Page found loose control and
returned there and changed ships.
He reached Chicago at 1884 am,
central time, fourteen minutes be-
hind schedule, and Pilot S. j. Schort
left for the east at 1883, four min
utes behind.

RAINIER CITIZENS
FOR SCHOOL CHANGE
Delegation to Ask County to Admit
Younger Pupils to New
Building.

Members of the Mount Rainier Cit
liens Association will hold a special
meeting in the town hall at Mount
Rainier tonight at o'clock to ar
range for a delegation to go to Up
per Marlboro July and ask county
officials to open the new Mount Raj
nier School to children of the first
second and third grades.
The committee of the association.
according to Secretary H. w. Blandy
will place its plea before the
county commissioners and Nicholas
Orem, county superintendent OF
schools. Under the present system
the Mount Rainier School has been
used for junior high school purposes
Mr.. Blandy declares that this plan
however meritorious, works to the
disadvantage of younger children
who must go some distance to the
Brentwood School in order to attend
the first three grades. In going this
distance they must cross two ,rainG
arteries, 34th street and Baker street
he. points out. endangering their
safety.
The Mount Rainier delegation will
petition the Marlboro authorities to
add several rooms to the present
school building, so that these lower
grade pupils may attend school close
to their homes.

J. H. POWELL PROMOTED,
War Department Official Goes to
$2,4OO Grade.

Jesse H. Powell, chief of the in
formation bureau of the adjutant
generals office, War Department, has
been promoted from the $4,000 grade
to the s2,400 grade in that Office, in
recognition of long and faithful
service. His promotion was made
possible by the recent resignation of
J. Claude KEEPER. chief of division.
Mr.. Powell is from North Carolina,
and entered the service of the War
Department in 1887. He is recog-
nized as the principal source of
information concerning the military
establishment
During the world war and for
months thereafter he probably was
one of the busiest men in the War
Department, as he was CALLED on at
all hours of the day and night to
answer telephone and telegraph in
quiries as to the VIII eabouts and
safety of thousands of officers and
enlisted men operating on the battle
fields of Europe. He is kept almost
as busy at the present time answer
ing questions of all kinds relating to
the war bonus.

ference, Declares Problem Solu-
ton Lies Elsewhere.
By the Associated Press


LONDON, July 3.-Demands for
federal control of power development
come from a lack of understanding
of the problem, Herbert Hoover
Secretary of Commerce of the United
States, declared today before the
world power conference.
Federal regulation is not the road
terstate movement of power" Mr..
Hoover said. The best solution
should be found in co-ordinating reg
ulations between groups and states
with, perhaps, voluntary assistance
from the federal government in Sc
curing this coordination"
Super-power he continued, did not
represent a gigantic and grinding
trust, but cooperation between ut1ll-
ties. Abuses had arisen and would
arise in the creation and operation
of great agencies of production, but
the test of our economic and social
system was its capacity to cure its
own abuses. Government could pest
contribute to the betterment of our
lives through stimulation of and CO.
operation with voluntary forces.
The delegates who discussed legal
and government policies with regard
to power development were Arthur L.
Hadley, former president OF Yale
University; Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame.
former president of the British board
of trade: George Otis Smith, director
of the United States geological sur
vey; Guy E. Tripp, chairman of the
board of the Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company, and +.
A. Cleveland of British Columbia.
Mr. Hadley said that as an industry
became more progressive the dangers
of government ownership became
very great and that regulation rather
than direct operation had been sue
cessful as a solution.
