Conference on Weights and
Measures Hears Memphis,
Tenn, Official

Overweight scales, by which the
corner grocery man or the butcher
cheats himself, should be con-

Public's Idea.
At the present time, he said, the
public as a whole, and the mer-
chants as q class, think that the
only activity Of the weights and

tory that's good work, catch all

don't you go after so and SO, ne

This mistaken idea hampers the
work of the inspector when they
endeavor to protect the merchants,
who sometimes must be safeguard
ed against themselves, he declared
Present day commercial condi-

Of the merchant that he is harm

Safeguarding the merchant at the

Designating of q Streets 81

confuses Public
BY VINCENT CALLAHAN.

ABY ~ V1INOE1N1 N1AAtAtkA&AkA1ys
A confused motoring public,
anxious to comply with al rules
IN the new traffic code, today won
.ders what the new headlight regu-
lations really mean.
The designation Of twenty 1.-Two
streets on which automobile head
lights should be dimned has served
to add to the confusion.
No Arrests Made.
Since May s. when the headlight
law became effective. Washington
streets at night have been ablazs
with dazzling, binding and gEarinlg
headlights turned on by motorists
who believed they were complying
with the order to use bright lights
lat night.
And despite all Traffic Director
E1dridge has said about binding
lights, despite his request to police,
that all motorists with dazzling
lights be arrested. not one arrenk
Tor glaring headlights has been
made this month.
To put at rest rumors, Director
Eldridge today stated that the head

streets?'' EIdridge was asked.
]. Eve made them public merely as
an aid to motorists, he replied.
They win not be included In the
regulations.
EIdridge then referred to q sec
tion Of the. regulations which reads
as follows:
''The headlanps and headlamp
devices shall be so constructed, ar
ranged and adjusted, that they will,
at all times under normal at
rnospheric conditions, produce ample
driving light so as to reveal any
person, vehicle or other substantial
object, the size OF small child.
on the street 200 feet ahead, ex-
cept when the motor vehicle ID
operated on q street so well lighted
that any substantial object on the
street 200 feet ahead is clearly dis
cernibIe when the headlights are
dimmed'
Merely TO Aid Autoists.
Eldridge said the naming Of the
streets was done merely to aid
motorists in determining which
streets are well-enough lighted to
permit the use OF dim lights.
''Will arrests be made Of persons
who use bright headlights on these
twenty-five street," Eldridge was
asked.
NO." he replied, unless the
bright lights are dazzling
Mr.. Eldridge pointed out that
many motorists are operating auto
mobiles in Washington with head
lights that do not conform with the
regulations.
"On many cars new equipment Il
necessary to comply with the regu-
lations," he said. These motorists
have until August / to get he
proper equipment. Until that time
/ urge all motorists who have i'm
proper equipment to dim their
lights on the twenty-five streets

BUTLER TO REMAIN
HEAD OF G. @. P. BODY
Massachusetts, Senator Has No In
tention of Resigning, Says White
House Spokesman.

A report to the effect that Senator
William NJ. Butler of Massachusetts
was planning to resign as chairman of
the Republican national committee
next December was declared to be
without foundation by a spokesman
for the President at the White House.
Senator Butler. who left here Satur-
day to go to Massachusetts,, issto make
the race for the Senate next year. But
it is not believed that will interfere in
the slightest with his holding the
Craftsmanship of the national commit
tee, particularly as next year is an
'off year" nationally, and only con-
gressional and State elections are to
be held Furthermore, it is believed
that Senator Buffers retention of the
chairman nship will materially benefit
him in the contest for his own cleo
tion.
Senator Butler was selected by the
President to manage his campaign
last year, and there has been nothing
to indicate that he will be superseded
by another. The report that Senator
Butler was contemplating getting out
of the chairmanship was coupled with
the suggestion that Joseph B. Healing
of Indiana, national committeeman for
that State, would succeed him. Such
an arrangement probably would be en-.
tireIy satisfactory to Senator Watson
of Indiana, who also must make the
race for reelection to the Senate next
year.

SITE is SELECTED
FOR ATHLETIC FIELD
Condemnation Proceedings to Be
Instituted for Western
High Playground.

The property bounded by Thirty
eighth, Thirtyninth, Reservoir and
S streets northwest has been decided
upon as the site for an athletic field
for Western High School, Engineer
Commissioner Bell announced today.
Col. Bell said that condemnation
proceedings would be instituted soon
to acquire the property, which is
within a short distance of the %
acres of land given to the city a
short time ago for park purposes by
Mrs. Anne Archbold. The proposed
athletic field also is in the general
vicinity of Glover Parkway, donated
by Charles c. Glover.
The available appropriation for pur-
chase of the athletic field is $125 600.
In discussing this project today,
Commissioner Bell took occasion to
lay emphasis upon the need for more
playground sites in other outlying
sections of the District where resi-
dental developments are going for
ward rapidly.
"In some Of these neighborhoods it
will be necessary to tear down houses
in order to get a playground space
unless we can buy sites while there
are still vacant pieces of ground to be
had" Col. Bell said.
The Engineer Commissioner de-
clared he is keenly interested in OBJ
tanning an adequate number of play
grounds in order that the youth of
Washington may be able to play in
safety

JARDINE TO CONFER
ON COLLEGE FUNDS
Will See Presidents on Disposal of
Money Provided by
Purnell Law.

Secretary Jardine of the Depart
ment of Agriculture will leave Wash
ington this week to so to st. Louis
for a conference with the heads Of the
State agricultural colleges and agri-
cultural experiment stations with re
gard to the operation of the Purnell
law, providing increased funds for
the use of the experiment stations.
Under the terms of the law, $4,000
will be available for use of the expert
ment stations in 1926-$20 900 for
each of the 4S States. This appro-
priation will be increased $4,000 a
year per State until 1880, when it be-
comes 100000. That will be the
amount available thereafter each year.
The Purnell law is in line with the
recommendations of the Presidents
agricultural conference, of which Sec
retary Jardine is a member. In its
report the conference said: ut is Of
the utmost Importance that knowl-
edge concerning the business and
social aspects of agriculture keep
pace with that concerning its produc-
ton problems if a well-balanced agri-
cultural program Is to be maintained.
1t is the new field Of investigation
which will be undertaken by the ex-
pertinent stations and for which the
additional funds will be used.

8 NEW NATIONAL
FORESTS CREATED
Camp Meade and Fort
Humphreys Among Mill
tary Sites Converted.

President Coolidge has signed an
executive order establishing national
forests on eight military reservations,
the War Department announced to-
day. Camp Meade, Md. and Fort
Humphreys, Va, are among the
designated sites.
The other reservations on which
national forests are to be established
are Pines Plains and Camp Upton
n. Y; Camp Dix, n. J.; Tobyhanna
Artillery Range, Pa, and Forts Eustis
and Lee, Va.
National forests already have been
established on three other military
reservations - Fort Benning, Ca;
Camp Mcclellan, Ala, and Camp
Jackson, S. c.
The action is in accordance with
legislation approved authorizing the
establishment of national forests by
the War and Agriculture departments
under executive orders. Secretary
Weeks inaugurated the policy Of
creating forests on military reserva
tions, and it was largely through his
efforts that the legislation was OBJ
tanned.
Investigation by War and Agricul-
ture Department officers is now in
progress to determine the selection of
additional military reservations for
national foreStation.

STREETS SELECTED
FOR NEW LIGHTING
Work on Sixteenth and Other
Arteries to Be Pushed,
Says Engineer.

Improved street lighting will be
installed on several of the main thor
oughfares OF the city between now
and the end of the calendar year,
Warren B. Hadley, electrical engf-
neer, announced today.
Mr.. Hadley stated that he will make
every effort TO increase the volume Of
light on the following arteries as rap
idly as possible:
II street, from Second to Fifteenth
streets northeast, with the possibility
Of extending the improvement 10
Massachusetts avenue and H street

Sixteenth Street Plans.
Sixteenth street, from II TO Alaska 4
avenue. This project will mean re-
placement Of existing lights on the
lower part of Sixteenth street, with
stronger illumination and new orna-
mental posts, and the installation OF
other lights on the northern extremity
of Sixteenth street, where there are
no lights at present.
Connecticut avenue, from II street
to the District line.
Massachusetts avenue, from Union
Station to Wisconsin avenue.
Rhode Island avenue, from Iowa

Will Rush New Work.

The Commissioners are desirous of
improving street lighting throughout
the District within the next few years
and will do so as rapidly as appropria-
tions can be obtained. Last year the
committee of District officials worked
out a comprehensive plan, in which a
specific type of lighting for every class
of street was decided upon.
The various types of treatments are
based on the character of the street
to which they will be applied. For
example, there will be appropriate fix
lures for primary business streets,
secondary business streets, primary
traffic ateries and secondary traffic ar
teries.
There will be other types for resi-
Dental streets and for outlying high
ways.
Engineer Commissioner Bell already
has indicated that he will advocate
liberal allotment in the next District
budget for the carrying on of a pro
gram for improved street lighting.

EMPLOYERS SCORE
IN NOPEN-SHOP FIGHT
Supreme Court UpholdS San
Francisco Group in Buy
ing of Materials.

When labor strikes or lockouts do
not result in any material restraint OF
interstate commerce, the Supreme
Court held yesterday. the Federal
Government is powerless TO inter
vene.
The decision was handed down in
case from San Francisco. where the
Industrial Association or that clty,
the California Industrial Council and
other organizations of employers had
been found guilty of violating the
Sherman antitrust law in fight Tor
the adoption Of the open shop. as OPP
posed to the closed shop which labor
unions had enforced up to 1871.
Adopted Permit System.
AS a part of their campaign, the
employers adopted a permit system
under which supplies could be oo-
tanned only by builders who would
agree to join the open-shop move
ment The lower court finding that
these permits were required for the
purchase of building materials ana
supplies produced in and brought
from other States into California, held
that there had been an unlawful re-
straint of interstate commerce.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
by Justice Sutherland, declared, now
ever that il did not ma LnaI there
had been a substantial obstruction OF
interstate commerce sufficient to con-
stitute a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Interference Not Shown.
Asserting that the evidence showed
that interference with interstate
trade was neither desired nor intend
ed. Justice Sutherland declared that
such building materials as had been
brought into the State during the la
bor dispute had come to rest within
the state and had ceased to be a part
of interstate commerce. Considering
that the aggregate value of the ma
terial brought into the State did not
exceed a few thousand dollars, in
comparison with the expenditure OF
$500 600 900 for the construction of
buildings during the controversy, he
said. a showing had not been made
to satisfy the court that there had
been a conspiracy to restrain inter
state commerce. ITO extend statute
intended to reach and suppress real
interference with the free flow of COM
merce among the States to a situa-
tion so equivocal and so lacking in
substance" he added, would be to
cast doubt upon the serious purpose
with which it was framed.
