PURCHASE OF STOP

Traffic Heads Ignorant of
Cost of Lights Wait Data

The traffic department Is unable tc
proceed with the purchase and erec
tion of permanent metal stop" signs
for boulevard intersections until it Is
definitely known how much will re
main in the appropriation after the
automatic signal lights have been in
stalled on Sixteenth street, Traffic
Director NJ. o. Eldridge said today.
Mr.. Eldridge said he expected to
have accurate figures within two or
three weeks as to the complete cost
of the automatic signal installation,
after which he will be able to tell how
much he can spend on metal stop
signs.
Officials in the traffic office figured
up today that there are about 543
stop" signs now painted on the boule-
vary streets and that it will require
an expenditure of several thousand
dollars to supplement these painted
words with metal signs on iron posts
at the curb-line.
An order has been placed for the
purchase of II reflector stop signs,
which probably will be erected on
Bladensburg road. If these are salts
factory in operation and funds permit,
the same type sign will be bought for
all stop intersections. Mr.. Eldridge
lntimated, however. THAI if funds are
limited he may have to buy metal
signs with the word stop" painted on
them without a rejecting glass.
Mr.. Eldridge said he was not pre-
pared to say when an increased speed
limit above the present maximum of
- miles an hour would be permitted

West Virginia Man Meets
Wager Lost on Davis

Robert A. Loar, "hiker bet payer"
Who Is paying an election bet by hik-
ng barefoot for 400 miles. from Fair
mont, w. Va, to Elizabeth, N. J.. ar
rived in Washington yesterday with
blistered feet, but departed for Balti-
more, determined to complete his hike
On schedule time, which will put him
in Elizabeth September 16.
Prior to the last presidential cleo
ton Mr.. Loar, who is an attorney of
Morgantown, w. Va, made a wager
with Gene Arnett, superintendent OF
State highways for Marion County,
w. Va, that he would hike 400 miles
barefoot if Davis was not elected Pres
ident, or if failing to carry out the
wager he would forfeit an automobile
and vote a straight Republican ticket
in open ballet before two witnesses at
the next election. Conversely, II Cool
idge was not elected, Mr.. Arnett was
to pay the same penalty, or vote a
Democratic ticket at the next election
and forfeit an automobile.
Resolves to PAY Up"
Accordingly, to avoid going back on
his party by voting the Republican
ticket, Mr.. Loar started paying his
bet when he turned his toes out to
Craze" and departed from Fairmont
August 25. He choose the latter place
from which to begin the hike, he says,
rather than Morgantown because his
wife objected to him making himself
conspicuous in his home city.
According to the bet agreement, he
also started on the journey without
funds, being compelled to make
speeches and take up a collection en-
route. He tells of several funny ex-
periences while being given money by
friends. One man, says Mr.. Loar, re-
marked, We'll, Loar, helped to start
you on this tramp by voting for Cool
idge, so here Is a quarter" AT this
time a staunch farmer Democrat
spoke up and remarked to the friend
Yes, and you are not the only one
he helped to put on a tramp"
Mr.. Loar smiled about his trip, but
added that "It was a h of bet.

He came via Charles Town, w. Va,
to Frederick, Md, and from there
walked to this city via Rockville. He
With the exception of receiving sew

A Girl Rides Into the Range

She was perhaps two or three and
twenty, slender, of medium height
with clear, grey, fearless eyes. and
hair of pale brown with gold flecks
in it, coiled up loosely about her head.
Her open mackinaw revealed an
almost boyish figure, slender and
long-waisted. She wore corduroy
breeches and riding CATERS; and there
was about her that hardly definable
but unmistakable air of breeding that
crops out in such unexpected places
along the AngloSaxon frontier.
From a respectful distance the men
were staring at her, each asking Lees
unspoken question as to what such
girl was doing in Little Falls.
That she was riding into the range
was evident. Had she been riding out,
the men would have known of her

the definition of the word elevated"
Lawrence, not being able to rise to the
occasion, said: Il don't know what it
means"
"All right said Horace, "I'n tell
you. Mother elevated the jam from
you and Judith bur she didn't elevate
it sufficiently"
Even Judith, who was still in kinder
garten, understood the explanation.
