Highways Said to
Need Thick Edges

That highways should be designed
with extra thick edges is indicated by
a survey of where, on the road, auto
mobiles run, made by the United States
bureau of public roads. This investi-
cation showed that motor trucks are
habitually driven closer to the edge
than passenger vehicles and that the
heaviest load placed on the pavement
comes about six inches from the edge,
says Science Service.
Drivers of speeding vehicles tend to
crowd closer to the center. Too high
a crown to the highway or a bad
shoulder also cause machines to run
nearer the middle. Highways should
be at least IS feet wide and not over
20 feet wide for two-way traffic, the
experts declared after the observa-
tons.

The idea of the Quota Club was
conceived by five Buffalo business
women who were guests of the
Buffalo Kiwanis Club at a Christmas
dinner in 1918. "A charter was
granted in 1919 to the Quota Club
International, incorporated.
Mrs. John G.. Capers, executive offl-
Ger in the Washington branch of the
Union Discount Co. of New York
City, was requested by Miss Mary Rus
sell Purman of Pittsburgh, Pa, ma
tional president, to undertake the or
ganization of a chapter here. A group
of business women already have re-
sponded, it Is said.
A charter dinner will be held by
members of the local group early In
October, according to present plans,
and weekly luncheons are to be on
the schedule.
Membership in the Quota Club Is
confined to women who are practicing
a profession, who own their own busi-
ness or who hold executive positions
in firms or corporations. Only one
representative from any one classifi-
cation is eligible for membership,
which consists of five grades-active,
associate, reserve, affiliated and honor
ary.

BUILDERS TO PLEAD
WITH BUDGET CHIEF
FOR MORE SEWERS
Continued from First Page.)

gress intended should last until next
July, which means that unless sup
Elemental fund is granted in one of
the deficiency bills when Congress
reconvenes, the sewer department will
have to suspend all work Of extending
sewers to new houses for six months,
or half Of the entire fiscal year.
While this Is not new situation in
which the sewer department finds It.
self this year, due to the granting of
inadequate appropriations sat the be-
ginning Of the year, Mr.. Gordon said
today the condition Is worse than
ordinary
The history of the past four years
shows that the legislators have al
ways allowed a supplemental fund for
sewer extensions when the fiscal year
Is half over, but even these deficiency
allotments have not sufficed to do in
each year the work required for that
year. The result is that the sewer
department begins the fiscal year with
80 much NECESSARY work left over
from the previous one that 1t has
not been able for number of years
to catch I'D to building operations.
Outside Toilets OH Increase.
One of the most serious results of
this situation, in the opinion of Sewer
department officials, is that the an
uquated outside toilet instead of be-
Ing gradually eliminated is increasing.
For the past four years. Mr.. Gordon
said, there has been an increase Of
100 q year in the number of these, due
TO lack Of funds to make necessary
sewer extensions. At the present
time there are a total of 3,131 in
Washington. Since July J. or within
two months of the present fiscal year,
4S had to be installed at houses that
could not get sewer service.
The Sewer Department began the
year on July l with an appropriation
OF $275.000 for extending service sew
ers to homes. But on that day there
remained to be laid $127,900 worth of
extension work that had been ordered
by the Commissioners during the
previous fiscal year.
This meant that about half of the
appropriation for the entire present
fiscal year was needed to finish up
work that became necessary in the
preceding year. On September / Mr..
Gordon had used or contracted to
spend $l0S.100 in that two-month Pc
riod. Thus far in September $50, 900
more of work has been ordered. leav-

ARRIVE THIS AFTERNOON.
Debt Commission Prepared Immedi-
ateIy to Begin Work.

The French debt commission was
due in the Capital this afternoon
about 3 o'clock.
The commission was understood to
be virtually prepared to enter into
negotiations at once, and will formal
ly meet the American commission
tomorrow for the opening session at
the Treasury Department. Although
no official announcement of the meet
ing time has been made, it was un-
derstood to have been fixed for
10 am.
In the meantime, awaiting the
French commission, the American
Government yesterday received no
tice that the Czechoslovak Republic
is sending a debt commission, sailing
September 26 from Cherbourg, to ne
gotiate a settlement Of the Czechoslo-
vakian Indebtedness to this country.
Introductory Session Tomorrow.
The first Franco-American session
tomorrow Is expected to be entirely
in the nature of an Introductory
meeting, and If 1t follows the precedent
of previous debt commission meet
ings would consist largely of state
ments from the heads of the two
delegations, M. Caillaux and Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrew w.
Mellon.
There were indications that both
sides to the parley would be ready to
go at once to the heart Of the problem
before them. once the preliminaries
are out of the way, and there We're
also unofficial reports that the French
were hoping to make as much speed
as would be consonant with diplo-
matte custom and the exigencies of
the negotiations. Reports that the
French hoped to conclude the parley
successfully and leave in little more
than a week could not be verified.
however, either in American or
French circles here today.
1t was considered likely that sessions
would be held daily. with likelihood

ing only s122 900 to last nine months

ing only s122,o to last nine months
Of the year.
The Commissioners already have or
dered sewers that will cost $141, 500.
therefore, II no more work should be
ordered by the Commissioners until
next July the Sewer Department still
would be $4,000 short.
But the demand for new service
sewers continues to increase at the
rate of $4,000 month. At this rate,
II no supplemental appropriation
should be granted in December the
unmet volume of work at the end of
the year on June 80 would be $685., 900.
OHclals cannot disclose at this time
how much Of a supplemental appro.
priation they will ask Congress for in
December, but anything short Of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars would
mean that some houses would have to
go without sewers for a time.
In discussing the need for larger
annual appropriations for this essen
tial work, officials call attention to The
fact that At per cent of all money ex.
pended for this work is paid back into
the treasury by the property owners
who get the sewers.
Mr.. Gordon said that while some be
Heve there are signs of a slight let-I1r
in the amount of building activity. the
records of the building inspectors of.
flee do not bear out the belief, For ex
ample, during the first two months
OF this fiscal year the permits issued
have aggregated $11,78O,275, whereas
at the same time last fiscal year only
S9,979, ,45S worth Of permits had been
issued. In the first two months of the
year before last only $6,976.354 worth
of work had been authorized by the
building inspector.
Must Refuse Many.
With building operations running sc
far ahead Of sewer appropriations. the
commissioners, necessarily, must turn
down some of the requests for exten.
sions. In deciding which requests to
grant, the rule followed by the District
heads is to authorize those projects
which will serve the largest number OF
occupants. Last year the work or.
dered averaged only 68 linear feet of
extension per house served, at a COS,
OF s220 per house.
The present serious situation exists
despite the fact that the appropriation
of $276,vt allowed this year is S25. 900
more than was allowed year ago.
The records show that Congress
has had to grant supplemental ap-
preparations for service sewers in the
middle of every fiscal year since 1922,
as follows:
Fiscal year 1922, original sum, s1s5,.
900; supplemental. S32, ,0eo; 1928, $780,
600 original. $4,000 supplemental.
1924. $15o,000 original. 500 900 sup.
Elemental, and 1925, $250,0oO original
and $125,000 supplemental.

MORE GUARDSMEN
REPORT JOB LOSS
Claim They Were Told to

officials OF the National Guard of
the District of Columbia are IN
censed over additional reports of men
losing Government jobs in Washing
ton because they serve in the Ma

Virginia Beach last Summer. Lieut..
Col. Harry +. Gladman, executive
officer of the 121st Regiment of En-
stneers, today started a rigid investi-
cation with a view to settling once

pltal, where the pay of several men
was held up and two We're dismissed
was reported to guard headquarters
last night that another, James H.
Rogers of Company d, had been dis
missed. Col. Gladman said that he
intended to see that these men re-
celVed fair play, as to continue to
permit Government officials to deny
men the right to train for war was
81 direct hit at the Governments de-
Tense plans. He pointed out that
heads of big business organizations
are on record in letters filed with the
guard as being willing to allow their
employees to go to camp. and pay
them. and that these organizations
did send their men. while the Gov
ernment officials are, in many in

reason, although there is law which
requires them to permit the men
