''SH-FURZ" GREATEST TRAFFIC
PROBLEM, HEADLEY DECLARES
Professional DriUers too Often Listen to Madam or
Marster in Disregard of Officers Direction.
Tari Drivers Nest in Line as Offenders.
Who are the worst traffic offenders

Who are the worst traffic offenders
in Washington?
While Inspector Albert j. Headley
of the Traffic Bureau will not be
quoted. there's a strong rumor that
he would be inclined to award the
cut-glass opaque auto goggles to the
professional chauffeur.
Particularly that group of profes-
sional chauffeurs who call themselves
'sh-furz' and cater to the startling
whims OF their msrsters and madams.
Those fellows are in peculiarly
uncomforta ole position" the inspector
points out. They often are COM
PEELED TO choose whether to obey the
directions of their employer or the
regulations promulgated by the Traf
fc Bureau. Unfortunately, they all too
often decide in favor of the former
Mere Traffie Tangies Dothersome.
For instance, suppose one of them
is taking his madam to the opera.
She has waited until the last minute
to start, and when she arrives In the
vicinity OF the opera house she finds
that nearly everybody else has done
the same. But she is impatient She
is accustomed to having things done
to suit her. A mere traffic tangIe,
while annoying, surely cannot ex-
pect long to thwart her triumphant
arrival.
Madam glances about as her car
halts in the jam; she raises her
lorgnette to Berkeley, at the wheel;
lifts a daintily gloved hand in an i'm
patient gesture. and instructs the
chauffeur TO pull out of line and pass
the whole bothersome bunch in front.
Right there is where Berkley
should speak out his mind. He should
firmly reply: But that ie in direct
OF the law, ma'am.' My ex-
perience has shown me, however,
that more often than not Berkeley
sounds his horn, steps on the gas
and pulls over on the wrong side
of the street, to block incoming traf-
lic, disconcert traffic officers and tie
up things in general"
Inspector Hesdley has a few re-
marks to make about other problems
of traffic.
Taxi Drivers Also Problem.
Taxicab drivers are furrowing his
brow with wrinkles. He believes
they are a necessary evil, like
sulphur and molasses. They clutter
up perfectly good streets. congregste
