ARGUES FOR NATIONS CAPITAL
ON LINES LAID BY ITS FOUNDER
arthur A. Shurtlef, Landscape architect of Boston
Urges Development Of City According to De-
sign Outlined by Gen. Washington.

for the preparation, by a properly
constituted. commission. of a well CO.
ordinated plan for the ground upon
which the National Capital is now
spreading, public opinion cannot fail
to find ways and means to carry for
ward a matter so vitality associated
with the fondest memories Of the Re
public and so essential to the practical
needs of a growing modern city.
Coolidge Economy Seen as Aid.
THAT the movement toward a ra-
tional plan for the city of Washington
is taking form during Mr.. Coolidge's
administration of economy should log
ically increase the chance of success
Of the movement. Consideration Of
long time economy has always been
and must continue to be the strongest
reason for good planning. The waste
of treasure and opportunity which is
taking place where cities have grown
to great size by the haphazard accre-
ton of new streets TO the broken
fringes of earlier street systems is
being brought slowly TO an end
through considerations of economy.
The pressure TO end this waste is be-
ing eXerted to an increasing extent by
men who as a group have not here
tofore taken so great an interest in
the builders, designers and tinanciers
of office buildings, stores, industrial
plants and rapid-transit facilities. not
to mention those who are responsible
for the design and maintenance of
parks, Fairgrounds and parkways.
"All these men are accustomed to
the most tireleSs and painstaking
planning in their own fields Of work
to make individual installations func
~ "
can devise, but the best service of
these structures, utilities. and ameni-
ties is often severely handicapped or
wholly thwarted because the great
city itself has not been planned with
similar painstaking, intelligent effort.
Cited as Fortunate.
1T is a fortunate thing for our
modern cities that the planners Of
these smaller units are now beginning
to realize more fully their dependence
upon the wise planning OF the great
city, and are taking a hand as indi-
viduals or groups in this necessary
work TO see that it is done by properly
constituted authorities and that these
authorities study to problem thor
oughly in all its phases to reach a
well co-ordinated plan.
The time has come when the city
of Washington needs a faithfully
studied, good plan for the guidance
of its growth. The need for such a
plan is great in all phases of the city's
expansion and consolidation. The
man in the street and the technically
trained man are becoming aware of
this need now as never before. A
better time could not be chosen than
the present, when considerations of
economy are paramount, for these
men TO combine their efforts to secure
national action for the creation of
such a plan"

Wind Force and Speed.

How strong was the wind?" is the
question asked after a destructive
storm. The answer to this question
is likely TO be misleading, says the
Nature Magazine. because it is nearly
always stated in terms of speed rather
than force, and the two things are
not identical
The force of the wind can be in
dicated accurately by saying what
pressure it exerts dn pounds per
square foot, for eXample) upon a sur
face at right angles to its path. This
pressure varies approximately as the
square of the speed.
Thus a wind Of 20 miles an hour
blows about four times as hard as
one of 10 miles an hour, and a wind
of so miles an hour blows about nine
times as hard as one of 10 miles an
hour.

ASKS POLICE SCAN
DRIVERS RECORD
EIdridge Urges Step to
PenaIize Second Offend
ers Heavily.

--rsffc Director 2ldridge yester-
dav recommended to -AcI.fg Supt
of Police Evans that an order lie
issued requiring policemen TO make
careful search of the records when
they arrest motorists for speeding or
other serious traffic violations to as
certain whether it is the first, second
or third offense.
Mr.. Eldridge's recommendation was
prompted by the discovery that two
drivers recently escaped heavy penal.
~ and Jail sentence because the ar
resting officers apparently had fail
ed the director said, TO ascertain be-
fore making out papers that the mo-
torists in question had previous Of
fenses of the same kind against them.
Will Be Simpliied Soon.
After the newly designed OPERATOR s
permit has been issued to all drivers
next year it will be easy for police
men to check up on second and third
offenses. because each time a driver is
convicted il will be entered on the back
of his permit.
But until permits are renewed next
year, Mr.. Eldridge said, it will be
necessary for the police to refer TO the
files in the traffic Office to find out
whether a man they have just arrest
ed for reckless driving, or a similar
offenSe, has been convicted before.
This procedure is essential, Mr..
Eldridge believes, because a feature
of the new traffic law is the require
ment fer severe penalties for second
and third convictions on the more
serious offenses.
The traffic director explained that
when an officer makes an arrest for
second or third offense it is necessary
that the policemen. who made the
previous arrests, appear as witnesses
IN the case. Mr.. Eldrige expressed
the belief that after the new law has
been in effect longer the system Of
handling cases will function without
difficulty.
Old Permits in Use.
All new drivers are being given the
new style permit, with space on the
reverse side for noting convictions.
The thousands of old drivers will not
receive the new type of permit, how
ever until all permits are renewed in
1926.
The traffic director again called at
tention yesterday TO his previous
statement that motorists. who have
District number plates on their cars,
must also have District operating
permits. Mr.. Eldridge explained that
If a man is driving a car in the Dis
trict regularly he should know the
local regulations. and his knowledge
of them is determined in issuing the
operating permit.

By Cable TO The Star and New York World.
BERLIN, July 11.-An attractive
young woman managed to obtain an
interview with the former crown
princess Cecelie of Prussia recently,
and before she had left convinced the
Hohenzollern princess that her visitor
was the Princess Anasta sia, youngest
daughter of Car Nicholas.
When finally convinced, Princess
Cecelie called in Prince Oscar, who
has numerous friends among the noble
Russian emigres; and he, too, left per-
suaded that the young womans story
was true. She told them that she had
escaped from the executioners who
murdered her parents, brothers and
sisters, hid in Russia under the dis
guise of a peasant woman, and finally
crept through into Germany.
Since Princess Cecene was on init
mate terms with the old Russian
Court and visited the Roma noffs less
than two years before the outbreak
of the war. her acceptance practically
settled the matter as far as her own
retinue Is concerned. Immediately
the young visitor was accepted and
given homage as one of royal blood.
Prince Oscar then began to sound

COMMEMORATE
SENDING FIRST TELE-
PHONE copy

1t was more than AZ years ago that
for the first time a newspaper re.
porter called his paper up on the tele.
phone to turn in his story. And re-
Gently the same reporter called up the
same newspaper on the telephone from
the same place to turn in a similar
story in commemOration of the oc.
casion when one Of the most important
means of work was adopted by Jour-
nalism.
On February II, 1877, the telephone
was introduced to the public in a lee
ture by Alexander Graham Bell before
the Essex Institute in Lyceum Hall,
Salem, Mass. After the meeting Henry
M. Batchelder, young bank clerk,
who acted on the side as Salem cor
respondent for the Boston Globe.
called up another reporter who was
at Bells Boston laboratory for the
purpose, and dictated his account of
the Salem meeting over the telephone
that Bell had been using to illustrate
his lecture. 1t appeared in the next
mornings paper.
On June last there was held in
Salem public meeting of great inter-
est in telephone history. More than
twenty-five of the people who were at
the meeting in 1877 were present.
Henry NJ. Batchelder, now President
Of the Merchants National Bank of
Salem, was very appropriately select
ed to preside, and at the close of the
meeting he called up the Boston Globe
on the telephone from the platform
and resuming his old-time position as
the Salem correspondent, turned in
his story of the occasion.
