them. This is particularly true of
the basement of the Administration
Building. Of units in tho basement of
1853 B street, ana Of the basement Of
220 Fourteenth street, while even In
the basement of the east wing much
complaint 10 heard Of poor lighting
on the north side. On the other
hand, the top floors of some build
ings, not deficient in light and air,
are so intolerably hot in Summer
as to necessitate excusing employees
from duty on certain days. This
condition exists especially in the
buildings occupied by the Bureau Of
Entomology and the Office Of Publ
cations. and is probably worst Of all
on the top floors of the temporary
war buildings.
Intensive Study Made.
For more than three years an in
tensive study has been made by a
committee OF experts in the depart
ment. as well as by the Public
Buildings Commission and the ONCE
OF the Supervising Architect. in the
Treasury Department, so that the
most practical recommenda tions
may be made to Congress for proper
and adequate housing of the depart
ment In the interests of economy,
efficiency, fire prevention and well
fare Of employees.
The successive Secretaries OF Agri-
culture. in their annual reports, have
pointedly called attention to the de-
partment's necessities for now house
ing. In his annual report for 1922 the
late Secretary Wallace. after recit-
ing the difficulties Of administration,
said: 1T Is impossible to overem-
phasize the need for centralized
housing Of the departments activi-
ties" In his annual report for 1923
Secretary Wallace again called at
tention to the unsatisfactory hous-
Ing OF the department and urgently
recommended that provision be made
to this end. adding the significant
comment:
Becoming More Acute.
with the development Of the de.
partment's work, its housing situation
is becoming more and more acute,
and it will be impossible to hold out.

FRATERNITY MAKES
PEACE WITH BALLOU
Lambda Sigma Bows to High
School RuIe-Phi Alpha
Plans to Follow.

Lambda Sigma of Central High
School probably will be the first high
school fraternity recog niZed by the
Board of Education. The organization.
il was learned definitely today has
agreed to eliminate all of its charac
leristics described as Objectionable by
school authorities. and the board is
expected to approve it as high school
organization at its meeting tomorrow
afternoon in the Franklin School.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou. superintend-
ent of schools. has held a series of
conferences with representatives of
lambda Sigma, at which the demands
Of the board are said to have been
accepted. The result of these meet
ings will he reported to the board by
the superintendent, and. in keeping
with its promise. the board undoubted-
ly will place the fraternity on the
approved list of school organizations.
AbandOns Secrecy.
The fraternity will pay for the
boards approval with the loss of its
secrecy. faculty member of Cen
trail will sit in at ell meetings, and
play prominent part in directing the
destinies of the organization. School
authorities will have a copy of the
fraternity's constitution and bylaws
as wei; as a list of it's members.
lambda Sigma also will be required
to give up any "black ball. ballot
system it may have used in selecting
it's members. School authorities, too,
will have something to say regarding
members of the organization. and indi-
cate that they will insist on the ma
iority rule in balloting on new mem
hers as well as other questions.
With lambda Sigma about to be
recognized by the board. another fra
ternity, Phi Alpha. at Eastern High
School, it is understood, has made
overtures to school authorities with
view to getting on the approved
list. The case of this fraternity, how
ever, has not reached a stage for
board action, 1t was said.
Sigma Delta to Fight.
Meantime Sigma Delta remains
firm in its determination to file an
other suit in the District Supreme
Court to test the legality of the
boards anti-fraternity rule. John +.
Laskey, former United States district
attorney for the District. counsel for
the fraternity. will lead Sigma Delta S
legal battle. It was Sigma Delta, led
by Mr.. Laskey. which filed the first
suit against the boards rule last
Spring and lost on a technicality.

HALF Of FRAT
FIGHT FUND
RAISED
Sigma Delta Asks Support OF
All Interested in
School Row

All persons who are interested
in the frat row today were
invited to support Sigma Delta
fraternity in it's attempt to settle
fraternity differences with the
Board of Education by a court
decision.
More than half the fund Of
81 900 to be raised to defray the
expenses of the case has been
subscribed, and further subscrip-
lions are expected to be liberal.
Checks are to be made payable to
J. Milton Prodigy as chairman of
the committee in charge of pro-
viding the funds.
Mr.. PRODIGY made it clear today
that the proposed legal test Of
the anti-fraternity ruling of the
school board is not Sigma Delta's
fight alone. The cooperation of
parents, other fraternities and In
dividuals is asked and being re-
ceived.
The following have been named
to represent fraternity leaders in
the various high schools: Charles
Van Meter. Central; Porter Shreve,
Western; Francis Moreland, Nc
Kinley: j. F. Sweeney, Eastern.

DIREC Or
STUDIES
IDEA
Early Morning Rush Likely to
Be Relieved in Part by 7
Parking Ban

Two plans for relieving con-
gestion in downtown Washington,
during the busy times Of the day
are under consideration by ID. y,
Eldridge, director of traffic. He
has directed Colonel I. G. Moller,
his assistant, to make q study OF
both ideas. They follow:
In the morning rush hours, two
thirds Of some streets would be
cne-way toward the congested
zone. One-third of the street
would be outgoing out Of the
congested zone. The present
practice is to divide the street
into two equal parts.
A ban against parking between
s and $3.50 in the morning and
probably 4 and 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. In addition to reliev:
ing congestion, this plan would
virtually eliminate the all-day
parker.
Division An Innovation.
Colonel Moller said the proposal
to divide the street into unequal
sections would be an innovation in
traffic.
sIt would speed up traffic con-
siderabIy." he said. in the NOR. l.

Inspector Starts Drive to
Gust Former ConVicts as
Drivers Here

Strenuous efforts are being
made by the traffic bureau,
through Lieutenant Maurice Col
Inns, hack inspector, in a cam
paign started today, to purge the
city of ex-convict taxicab drivers
and operators of hacking cars,
who have been denied the required
cards of Identification.
In conformance with the policy
adopted when the issuance Of
Identification cards was made a
law, through an act Of Congress,
Lieutenant Collins said today that
thorough investigation viii be
made Of every hacking car in an
effort to weed out disreputable
drivers.
Hundreds Denied Cards.
Lieutenant; Collins said that hun
drsds Of men are annually denied
Identification cards because of prison
records or by reason Of CASES pend
ing against them involving moral
turpitude. A pile of requests for
Identification cards to which the
criminal records Of the applicants
were attached, was offered as evil
dence.
Charged with Grabbing" and
driving his taxicab without the
proper Identification card, Raymond
II. Ball exploded a bombshell in
Police Court Wednesday when he
asserted that he knew several
drivers OF hacking cars in Washing
ton who were ex-convicts. He failed
to comply with the order of the
court in giving to Corporation Courl.
sci j. j. McGarraghy, the names
of these men.
A fine of $40 was imposed on
