CITY CLUB HITS
TRAFFIC MEDDLING
Tribune Editorial Protests District
Suffers From Over
Regulation.

Protesting that Washington is be.
ing over-regulated as to traffic. that
the recent order barring solid tired
trucks from certain thoroughfares is
particularly obnoxious. unfair and un-
fortunate. the City Club Tribune,
edited by Henry f.. Stringer, in yes
terIay's edition asks that there be
rigid enforcement of reasonable and
necessary regulations, and that others
be withdrawn.
The writer declared that the rapidly
developing Mount Pleasant section,
now served to a large extent by
trucks travelling Sixteenth street,
would have to be reached by way of
Fourteenth street under the new reg
ulatton, causing congestion on the lat
ter street and endangering the lives
of pedestrians, especially the hun
dreds of Central High School children
crossing Fourteenth street at Clifton
street.
The Tribune concludes:
There is no question but that a
vast majority of the members of the
City Club and our citizens generally
are diSpleased with the present at
tempts at traffic regulations. One of
the things about which much serious
complaint is made is the fact that
regulations are made and remade ap-
parently on some one persons whim.
For example, the law passed by
Congress stipulated that all rear
lights should have amber glass. For
months we have been notified that
this law was going TO be rigidly en-
forced on a certain date. Then. after
thousands of US had replaced our red
glass with amber glass. somebody
found out that there is a shortage Of
amber glass, 50 the regulation is
again changed. Such versatility irri-
tates our people to no purpose"

lie SHRINE FIGHT
GAINS, SAYS c. A. R.
National Commander Has
Letters, He Says, Which
Indicate Support.

THE Grand Army of the Republic
will be supported by a large number
OF influential members of Congress
and other leaders in opposing any
move to transform the Lee mansion
in Arlington National Cemetery into
a national shrine in honor of Gen.
Robert E. Lee" it was declared yes
terday by Hosea NJ. Moulton, national
commander of the G.. A. r.
Comdr. Moulton announced he had
received at least a hundred sympa-
thetie letters from members of Con
gresS in reply to copies OF the resolu-
tion adopted by the G.. A. r. in its re
cent annual convention. which were
sent out sometime ago.
Proposed Bills.
A bill will be introduced early this
week, Comdr. Moulton said. providing
that instead of restoring the Lee
mansion as a shrine to the Confeder-
ate general IL be made the repository
for Union Army relics and records,
and that the upper floors be used as
the office of the superintendent of the
cemetery.
Another bill to be introduced soon,
Mr.. Moulton said. will provide for the
repeal of the joint resolution which
passed late last session. providing
that the Lee mansion be turned over
TO the Daughters of the Confederacy
or to the Sons of Confederate Veterans
as a shrine.
The statement last week by Repre-
sentative Cramton of Michigan that
he had not introduced the bill to re-
store the mansion as a Lee shrine at
the instigation of the Daughters of the
Confederacy, was disputed by Mr..
Moulton, who quoted a resolution
adopted at the thirty-fifth annual con-
vention of the Confederate Veterans
Association, held at Dallas. Tex, May
10, last.
Senator Curtis Letter.
Senator Curtis of Kansas wrote
Comdr. Moulton that in his opinion
IL would be a mistake to convert the
Lee Mansion into a shrine for Gen.
Lee and offered his help to defeat the
proposal.
Others who declared they We're
wholly in sympathy with the move to
prevent the establishment of the
shrine include Postmaster General
Harry S. New, Senators Arthur Cap
per of Kansas and Wesley l.. Jones
and Representatives J. w. SwartZ of
Pennsylvania, James o. Strong of
Kansas and w. w. Griest of Penn

NO ROOM FOR BUSTLES
WITH SHORTER SKIRTS
But Ancient Article of Apparel Is
Gaining Favor Among
British Women.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 12-Bustles
are in growing favor in London-at
least on the stage-and there Is a
tendency to fall in with the effort of
Paris modistes to revive this Victorian
mode. Bustles are seen in four popu-
lar plays now running in London.
Betty in Mayfair 1.-THE Dolls
House." Lullaby" and Tess of the
'Urbervilles." indicating an uncon-
scious move in theatrical circles to
support the Paris fashion makers.
The 1925 hustle Is not nearly so
large as it's Victorian forerunner, but
a hustle it is, nevertheless. the effect
being given by means of draped sashes
worn a great deal on evening gowns
and costumes for indoor wear. Bro
cadeS and tafettaS are used chiefly for
these models. The puzzle confronting
the dressmakers at present, however.
is whether the skirts is to be short
ened still more, because if it is the
hustle could not come in, as there
would be no room for it.
