NEW YORK JUDGE
HITS D. c. SYSTEM
Collateral Forfeiture PERM
ciouS, Says Recognized
Traffic Authority.

Characterizing the collateral for
relture system used in the District of
Columbia as "pernicious" Judge w.
Bruce Cobb of New York. a recoc-
nized authority on traffic. appeared
before the joint committee of the
House and Senate District committee
today. With Judge Cobb was DR..
John A. Harriss, also of New York,
the originator of the Fifth avenue
traffic light system and an honorary
deputy commissioner in the New York
Police Department.
The committee in inviting these
men to go over the, tentative Traffic
bill believe that valuable advise could
be given.
Judge Cobb took the tentative bill
section by section and gave his opin-
ion on its various provisions. He said
eral in some respect, and too detailed
in others.
In regard to a traffic court Judge Cobb
said in his opinion it would promote
efficiency to add to the present court
rather than the creation of a separate
court He stressed however, that uni
formity of court action in melting out
sentences was most important.
Responsibility of Judge.
Representative Rathbone of Illinois
asked the judge if shifting of judges in
the proposed traffic branch would not
prevent them getting into rut. Judge
Cobb answered that he thought so per
cent of judges time on traffic matters
was enough.
Judge Cobb strongly urged the in
stallation in Washington of the sum-
mons system, which is now in use in
New York. pointing out that there was
no provisions for it here. The collateral
system. he said, should be abolished al
together unless in every case where col
lateral was forfeited a bench warrant
was issued.
Taking up the question of operative
permit the judge asserted that an appli-
cant should be mentally. morally and
physically fit.
Senator Copeland of New York at
this point told the committee that while
he was on the examining board for
drivers applications he had been perfect
ly amazed at the number of one-eyed

The United States is at the mercy of
foreign combination for its supply Of
nitrates, and it was to free this coun-
try from that grip that some $3.50, 600. :
600 has been invested in the plants at
Muscle Shoals.
One OF the biggest needs of the United
States today as seen by such men as
Secretary Hoover. is to find some way
of making nitrates at a price that can
defy this foreign combination
Don't forget that background in con-
sidering what's to be done with the big
Government-owned plant at Muscle

Here's what President Coolidge and
his advisers believe win soon be done:

ThOrniest Parley Problem.

The thorniest problem before the
conference proper is that of the
american share in the Dawes plan
Yield. While France, Italy and Bel
Gium admit that the United States
las a right in equity, if not in law to
share in the proceeds, Great Britain
denies such right. At the same time
those allies which admit the Ameri-
can claim ask that their own percent
ages be not affected, thereby open
ing up an extremely important ques-
1ion; namely, tae widening of the
scope of application of the Dawes
plan.
Great Importance is attached to the
meeting today of the British cabinet,

may be devised by his majesty's Min

of the difficulty over the American
claim

Throwing Forward Pass.

The forward passer must always
throw the ball SO the runner has
to take it high and at top speed.
That is to prevent a pass being in
tercepted. The one other point
the passer must be careful to do
correctly is to feed the ball to the
receiver on the side which he is
facing as he runs.
The illustration on the left
above shows the receiver about to
catch Il pass that has been thrown
to him in the right way. Had it
been thrown to his other side he
would have to make a half turn to
reach it, and it is very doubtful il
he would be able to catch it, as he
would lose all sight of it,when turn
ing.
In other words, his back would
be toward the ball, and it would
be quite difficult for him to turn
and catch it. Furthermore. a turn
of this kind checks the speed of
the receiver.
