DISTRICT TO COOPERATE.
EIdridge to Help Maryland in Border
- Tag War

Traffic Director Eldridge announced
today that he would cooperate with
the Maryland authorities in requiring
persons who actually reside in Mary
land but who work in Washington TO
register their cars in Maryland.
He made this statement after trip
to Rockville this morning TO inquire
into the arrests yesterday OF about
so motorists on charges involving this
question.
Mr.. EIdridge said that the Maryland
and the District have entered into a
gentlemen's agreement on reciprocity
and he feels he should cooperate In
carrying out the terms Of the agree
ment.
Under this agreement, he explain
ed, a resident of the District can re-
side in Maryland for not more than
three months without Maryland
tags-for example, during the Sum-
mer months. In deciding the ques-
tion Of where mans residence Is,
aside from this three months of grace.
Maryland holds that a mans resi-
dence is where he sleeps. Mr.. Eldridge
said.
1t Ia apparent, Mr.. Eldridge con-
tinued, that some persons have been
living in Maryland and obtaining Dis
trict tags by giving their office ad-
dress in Washington. If these people
live in Maryland for more than three
months they are subject to registra-
ton of their cars in that State, ac-
cording to Mr.. Eldridge.
The traffic director called attention
to ono other modification, viz that
IL man resides in Maryland but
works for a corporation in Wash
ington which provides him with an
automobile, owned by the corpora
ton, he may drive that car to his
home in Maryland. In such cases.
however, the man will have to show
proof that the car is actually owned
by the corporation he, works for in
Washington, Mr.. Eldridge explained.

They then used six one-man graders
where now they will use four with
plow attachments. Last year they
had eight plows and this year they
will have ten.
So now % plows will be put at work
promptly when the snow starts fall
ing. Eleven of these plows are routed
for a six-mile run each, along the
street car route.
The other IL plows will be used to
do what was never before attempted.
They will be run up and down the
boulevard streets named by Traffic Di-
rector Eldridge, and routes are now
being mapped out on such streets as
Sixteenth street, Eighteenth street.
Massachusetts, avenue, Sherman ave
nue. and Maryland avenue northeast.
Then. when 1t comes to snow re-
moval. Supt. Hacker is preparing a
program to start in the morning after
the storm with the largest force Of
men available to clear away the snow
from such principal business streets
as f and G streets and Pennsylvania
avenue. AS much as possible will be
flushed into manholes.
"A start has been made toward sup

ers to take the place of the man.

Two Of these mechanical leaders have
been ordered and will be delivered be-
fore Winter sets In.
In order that the streets in the busi-
ness section may not be piled high
with snow at the cutters. shoveled off
the sidewalks in front Of the stores,
Mr.. Hacker will seek the cooperation
of the merchants. asking that they
clean Off only about half of their side
walks, sufficient for q passageway,
after a severe storm. This will be
done because it is physically impossi-
BILE to remove all the snow in the prin-
cipal business streets during the first

BARNES IS z UP
ON MACF AR[ANE
Fina! 18 Holes for Golf Cham
pionship of World Is on
at Columbia.

James NJ Barnes of New York,
holder Of the British open golf cham
pionship, finished the first Is holes OF
the concluding match for the world
golf championship today at the Co
lumbia Country Club up on Willie
holder OF the American open cham
pionShip.
Barnes had a medal scort of IL,
while Macfarlane had 75. The three
hole advantage gained by Barnes this
morning put him u up on Mae
farlane for the world title. Barnes
started the last SO holes 8 up on Mac
farlane s result of matches played
In Philadelphia last week.
Putting Is Poor.
Barnes was out In "a this morning
against SO for Macfarlane and was
one up at the turn. Coming in, the
British open champion had the last
nine holes in 81, while Macfarlane
who was putting badly. took 80. Mac
farlane took three puts in the thir-
teenth. sixteenth and eighteenth
greens. Had he taken only two puts
on each of these three green's the
match this morning would have ended
all square. The final 1S holes started
this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
Conditions Are Good.
MacFarlane and Barnes started the
frst half OF their 36.hole final under
favorable conditions for a big golf
match. The course OF the Columbia
Country Club was soaked and heavy
from the rains OF the last three days.

length OF more than 500 yards, the
Columbia course, as IL is being played
today by the two national champions
LEADERS of the world in golf-stands
as one of the hardest tests OF the
game in this country 1t is made
doubly difficult by the lack of roll
from the booming tee shots of the
twin titleholders.
Needs Super Golf.
Nothing short of super golf and
corresponding letdown by Barnes
will permit MacFarIane TO catch
the tall Cornishman and win the
world title. The American open
champion, however, is capable of
rising TO extraordinary heights OF
skill as he did in winning the cham
pionship at Worcester in June, where
he played the first nine holes in 81 :.
f1ve under par. A streak of golf of
that nature will so far toward cut
ting down the heavy lead Barnes en-
Joyed at the outset of the final
match.
The final half of the match
is being played at Columbia at the
request of Barnes. who won the
American title at the Washington
club in 1921.
Two l8-hole rounds will settle the
championship. The morning round
started at 10 o'clock and the after

Chicago. by $4,000. and the only thing
that pulled him through was carrying
the State outside by 100000.
Say Reward Is Deserved.
One of the reasons put forward by
friends of Col. Smith for his support
is that he has been such a good Re
publican and has run for Office so
often he deserves a reward But to
this the Mckinley men reply that his
record OF service to the party Is no
better than that of the Senator. Nc
kinley has been a faithful Senator, as
he was member of the House for
many years before he entered the
Senate. He has cared for the interests
OF his constituents in Illinois untir-
ingly. He has been a strong sup
porter of President Coolidge in his
policies Of the last two years. Doubt
less the administration would be glad
to see him continued In office.
But the row Is on. and there is
promise of a spirited contest before 1t
is all over. Mckinley has a strong
hold on the woman voters of the
State, and the story goes that they
made II possible for him to win in
1920. He is strong. too, with the
ChuTCh peOple dnQ THO cOiieSe men ana
women. On the other hand. he has
had against him much of the labor
vote in the past campaign.
Party Loyalty Strong.
Democrats may look with interest
on this Republican contest in Illinois
But that Is about all the good it will
do them. Illinois is overwhelmingly
Republican. A Democratic Senator
from Illinois only happens In case of
a real division of the Republicans, as
in the case Of the Bull Moose defec-
ton in 1912, when Senator j. Hamil-
ton Lewis was sent to Washington
by the Democrats for a term of six
years. The Republicans of this State
have a habit, once they have nomi-
mated a candidate, of getting behind
him. A case in point was that of
Senator Deneen last year, when there
was a desperate fight to renominate
Senator Mccormick. Sprague, the
Democratic candidate for the Senate
against Deneen, had good war
record and was a man high regarded.
But Deneen swept into office with a
lead of more than 600, 900 votes over
Sprague. Len Small, Republican, was
reelected governor after an even more
bitter fight among the Republicans

The cabinet room was used for the
first session of the Presidents air
craft investigation board. Should the
policy of having future meetings open
to newspaper men be adopted, how
ever, 1t Is likely that the committee
will be given use of one of the large
committee rooms at the Capitol,
where the crowd of newspaper men
assigned to report the proceedings of
the inquiry in detail could be accom-.

that quarters in the War or Navy
Departments will be used.
Acting Secretary of War Davis

second after the President had ex-

to his prayers, adopted 1t for the flag
of Denmark, which IS the Oldest ma

the true significance of the American
flag is not just as great when 1t is

when it floats above the stronghold of
a defeated enemy. To me our nag ny
