Simple Regulation Needed.

Traffic control does not imply nee
essarily the multiplication of regula-
tions to the confusion of both motor
lists and pedestrians" Mr.. Smith said.
"On the contrary, it should be the
function of the traffic force to simplify
regulations to the end that motor ve-
hicle traffic may move more smoothly
and with less likelihood of danger to
pedestrians.
I'm the last three months there has
been an incessant stream of regula-
tions, some of which, no doubt, have
operated to relieve congestion in GER
tain sections. Many of the other reg
ulations promulgated, however, have
done little or nothing to expedite traf-
fic, but have resulted rather in con-
fusion worse confounded Traffic
fatalities in Washington are as num-
erous as they were before the motor
lists and pedestrians in the District
were overregulated.
Apparently the solution of the
problem demands something more
than the multiplication of traffic laws.
The view expressed in The Star with
respect to the elimination of the unfit,
the irresponsible and the criminally
negligent driver seems to strike at the
crux of the situation. The law-abiding
citizen resents being bounded and
watched just because he drives an au-

EXCESS OF RULES
FOR AUTOS SCORED
Local Motorists Indorse
Stars Views on Traffic
Code.
BY WILLIAM ULLMAN,
Automobile Editor of The Star.

Virtually all Washington seems to
be of one mind regarding local traffic
regulations, and that unanimity of
opinion is that the National Capital is
being overregulated.
From every side and from every
phase of District citizenship have come
during the past "a hours written and
oral expressions OF approval of the
traffic views set forth in The Star
of Thursday and Friday.
That's just what we've been think
ing!" was the figurative shout of a
vast army of motorists and pedes-
trians who for several weeks, as COM
positely expressed, have had an ear
nest desire to be good traffic citizens
and made an honest effort to read,
memorize and observe the multiplicity
of local traffic injunctions.
Local traffic regulations are too
complex. in the opinion of Ernest N.
Smith, general manager of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, who says
that Washington is being precipitated
into a traffic muddle that may seri-
ously handicap motor-vehicle trans
portation in our city streets.

The ground for the rejection OF

Coach Lou Little probably will start
the same team against st. Marys that
he used at the beginning of last

Right now Little and Georgetown
are much pleased over the prospects
for a good man to f1ll the quarterback
position The line is not measuring
quite up to what Little desires, but
the quarterbacks are making him
smile all over his face. Vukma mic,
Gormley, McCabe and Cuisinier are

| the least undertaking some of the
| brilliant backs who will be against
Maryland. However. the Brookland-
| ers have big bite for their opening
| contest. Any time any school meets
Boston College at any time during
the season a real battle Is in store
| for it, but for an eleven of the caliber
of c. L. to meet it in an opener
| the difficulties of the situation can
not be magnifled.
But, at that Catholic University
has confidence in it's new coach, Jack
| McAuliffe, and the general thought
is that the team will make far
better showing than is generally
looked for by those not in close
touch with the progress of the squad.
Maryland's main worry in Its game
with Western Maryland will be to
stop Sillin, star halfback of the team.
That player is brilliant, and has not
been stopped by an eleven that he
has been against in two years Of play
in the Western Maryland backfeid.
Western Maryland will have a strong,
heavy line, even without the flrst-year
men, who will not be eligible. and any
team that has a strong, heavy line, in
addition to clever backs, is not to be
taken too lightly.
Yesterdays workouts, were gone
