OF Police Charles A. Evans today Is
sued a general order describing to the
traffic men exactly what they should
do.
The plan Is to have traffic officers

and pedestrians should move and
when they should stop.
The purpose OF the plan, which has
been in operation as an experiment
at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue this week. Is to leave an In
teryai of time for pedestrians who are
In the street to reach a point Of safety
before trafic Is relea sed across their
path. The order of Inspector Evans
to traffic policemen follows:
Wait for Second Signal.
"The new whistle signal Is; One dis
tinct blast to stop traffic: at the same
time the officer holds up his hand in
a distinct manner to indicate to mo-
torists as we'll as pedestrians that
they must stop. After as short an in
terval as possible to permit pedes-
trians to reach a place of safety, the
officer will sound two distinct blasts
of his whistle and at the same time
change his semaphore from stop to
go
Where the semaphore Is not in op-

This whistle signal is TO be used to
control traffic whether north, south

be.
Three blasts of the whistle to be
used to stop all traffic in every di-

posts and all intersections where po-
lice are stationed at any time for the

on the front steps last evening to
welcome his son and Mrs. Coolidge
home.
He kissed each as they left their car
and then showed them about the
home.
Smiles as radiant as shone on their
faces earlier yesterday when they
met their son, John, for the first time
in uniform, lighted the faces of Mr..

Col. Coolidge awaiting them. They
met John, who is a corporal in the
citizens military training camp at
Camp Devens, Mass, at Aver, near
by.
The 170-mile motor ride from the
Summer White House at Swamp
scott, Mass. was made over roads
slippery from a heavy storm encoun-
tered shortly after the start. AT
Proctorsville, VT, the President
stopped to pay surprise call on an
aunt, Mrs. Sarah Pollard, who kept
the Executive waiting for a few min
utes at the front door as she de-
scended from upstairs. A short stop
was made also at Rockingham Meet
ing House, VT. where Mr.. and Mrs
Coolidge found a slate slab in the
cemetery marking the grave of his
great great grandfather, Nathaniel
Davis, who died in 1902 at the age
of 81.
There were few changes about the
homestead here since their visit six
weeks ago. 1t was just a year ago
that the President and Mrs. Coolidge
were vacationing here.
