Traffic Boulevard Mandate

About one-half of Washingtons mo-

ridges boulevard stop signs seriously.
The others, either unable or unwilling
TO read, blandly speed right over the
painted mandates to halt, according to
observations made at a number of
such street intersections by The Star
today.
Although about SO per cent of the
National Capitals motorists were Civ
en- credit for honestly endeavoring to
obey the police orders, the same could
not be said of the city's street car mo-
tormen, for the observation failed to
disclose a single street car stop or
even so much as make a semblance of
slowing down in front of the boulevard
signals.
One of the striking features of the
survey was that the further out into
the suburbs the more fragrant are the
violations of the mute comma nds to
stop, 1t also being quite noticeable, of
course, that the number of motor
cycle policemen or traffic officers de-
creased accordingly. Chances of be
ing caught were naturally considera-
bly, less in such environments.
Another point that commanded at

PARIS, August ct is now vir-
tually settled that the French mission
which is to go to the United States
to arrange a settlement of Frances
war debt will leave for Washington
during the first fortnight of Septem-
Der.
The French government has decided
to treat the debt settlements with
Great Britain and the United States
as two distinct and separate undertake
ings, and that whatever might be the
stage of the negotiations opened 10
days ago at London between France
and England. in early September the
French mission will proceed to the
United States.
M Caillaux, the French finance
minister, has a firm intention, unless
prevented by circumstances, to pro-
coed to Washington himself, but he
would remain there only a short time.
If he does go, he will sail only after
the preliminary discussions have been
concluded between the French dele
gates and the American debt funding
commission.
The French debt mission will be
composed Of four delegates, two tech
meal and financial experts and two

NEW YORK, August 6.-An inves-
tigation by the district attorney of
Queens County into the adoption of
Mary Louise Spas, young daughter of
immigrant parents, by Edward w.
Browning, wealthy divorced realtor.
was sought today by Commissioner of
Public Welfare Coler.
The commissioner said the investi-
CATION was prompted by charges that
Browning had given money to Mary's
parents in return for their signing
the adoption papers. He added, how
ever, that it was a violation of long
established precedent for a divorced
man to be permitted to adopt a child
in this city.
1T is the most Immoral transaction
that has ever come to my notice"
Mr.. Collar said. Somewhere in the
laws OF this country there must be a
statute that a parent cannot sell a
child. If there is not such law we
will make one"
The adoption did not pass through
his office. the commissioner explained,
since Mary Louise was not "a de-
pendent child"

We do not allow the adoption of
children by foster parents of a diff

Mary Louise was the successful ap-
plicant for the adoption out of 10000
answers received by Mr.. Browning
when he advertised for a child to be-
come a companion to 9-year-old Dor
othy Sunshine Browning, whom he
earlier adopted. The girl walked from
her home in Astoria to Mr.. Browning s

said, winning her selection.

SUMMER w H 1T r II o L 5 f,
SWAMPSCOTT. Mass, August 6.-In
the face of an imminent coal strike
the Federal admnistra ton is still
hopeful that the miners and operators
will come 10 an agreement. and that
the strike will be aVerted. il was said
here today.
1t is held by President Coolidge
that the Federal Government is with
out authority to intervene at this
time, and that it is the duty of the
disputing parties to recognize their
responsibility to the public and TO fore
stall a strike by arbitration or other
means.
1t can be stated upon authority that
President Coolidge does not intend to
exert his power to avert a strike. His
position is that the Federal Govern
ment can not properly come between
the employer and employe every time
a labor dispute arises. He has de-
clared that he has no legal authority
TO act after a strike occurs and then
only can offer his good services to
avert a public calamity.
Plainly speaking, the administration
is relying upon public opinion and
market conditions to influence both
the operators and miners to reach
terms without walkout. Public
opinion is slowly forming, it is found
here. and until the consumer is con
fronted with high coal prices and a
threatened scarcity in the fuel sup
ply President Coolidge feels that he
can not suggest with the hope of sue
cess a means of settlement assuring
