To SPEED
TRAFF|CLOST

Suggestions from interested citi-
zens that the Sixteenth Street au-
tomato traffic control lights be-
tween II Street and Florida Avenue
be operated on an alternating sys-
tenn has been given consideration
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge said
today.
I'm view of the physical diff
culties which would be encountered
such as blocks Of different lengths
and the interception Of circles the
idea is not practical at present. "
Eldridge declared.
c.. 3. LYMAN, 1907 Meridian Pl.,
N. W., brought the suggestion to
light and said the system had been
tried with success in other cities.
1t would allow a motorist to travel
from II Street all the way to Flor
ida Avenue without a stop If the
timing were made alternating in
stead of synchronous, he pointed
out.
Eldridge and Colonel Moller, his
assistant, said they had given the
plan consideration at the inception
of the idea to install lights on Six
teenth Street but that 1t was
dropped on account of the peculiar
layout of the city's streets.

Investigations BY the prohibition
unit to stop diversion Of medicinal
whiskey obootleg channels and
the '.cutting' Of whiskey sold on
prescription has developed the fact
that Washington druggists As q
whole cooperate with the direc-
tor Of prohibition, it was said
today.
Other Cities At Fault
Other cities are giving prOhibi
ton authorities much trouble BY
their failure to sell whisky al pre-
scrfbed by law and many fraudu
Iently remove the labels on whisky
bottles and part Of the whisky. sub.
stituting raw alcohol and distilled
water. This liquor IL then sold az
bottled IN bond whisky and unless
the purchaser is familiar with the
product he IS unable to detect the
substitution.
Another enterprise widely report
ed IN the larger cities is Illegal
withdrawal Of. alcohol supposed To-
be used in preparation Of products
sold in drug stores, which - actu7
ally used In the preparation Of 81
oOholic beverages.
Some time ago Director Of Pre-.
Eibition Andrews conceived the idea
of having two druggists check up
and report on washington pharm-
acists He asked an expression
from the druggists and they were
almost unanimous Ia their prefer
ence for pharmacists as examiners.
The pharmacists. il is held, are
better able to deal with examiners
of their profession. who understand
all the problems confronting them.
and. on the other hand, the
examiners, knowing the drug bust
ness, are more difficult to deceive
One Of the greatest problems con-
fronting the prohibition unit, IL
was said today, ia the promigcuous
issuance OF prescrip tfons BY physi
clans. This practice is not 80 com
mon in Washington az it Is In
other cities of the same size and
larger. but it Is present to some
extent.
It has been necessary to revoke
the licenses Of several druggists in
washington who have failed to
comply with the provisions of the
law regulating the sale OF whisky
by drug stores. but as a whole the
pharmacists here are not giying
the trouble the unit IS experiencing

BUILDINGS BILL
STARTS ROW

A sharp controversy over the
expenditure Of the proposed $780,
100000 public buildings fund fen.
tured a hearing by the House
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee today.
Members Of the North Carolina
delegation opposed the section OF
the bill delegating to the Treasury
Department the authority to select
sites and designate amounts to he
expended for the construction Of
public buildings outside the District
The fate of the $4,000, 900 public
buildings program, in the District
of Columbia hinges upon the out
come Of this controversy.
II opponents of the present lump
sum bill are successful it is prob
able that a separate bill viii he
introduced providing for the Dis
trict's needs.
Representative William C. Ham
nTer of North Carolina pointed out
that the Constitution specifically
delegates to Congress the right to
select building sites and fix amounts
for construction. Any attempt to
transfer this power to govern
mental bureau or department, he
declared, would be an infringement
on the rights of the people.
Representative Sol Bloom of New
York today introduced a bill pro.
viding for construction of new
patent office building on a site to
be acquired by the Secretary OF
Commerce.
Except for this proposal the
measure practically follows lines of
similar bill he has already intro.
duced providing for appointment of
a commission to choose the site.

NEWMAN
PLEA

A turbulent undercurrent of
dissatisfaction still pervades the
800 students who returned to
Armstrong High School this
morning, after being on strike
since last Friday, because their
principal, Capt. Arthur C. New
man, is about to be denoted.
Nearly 800 students refuse to
go back to classes today notwith-
standing the urgent appeal made
to them yesterday by the principal
to whom they are. trying to show
their loyalty.
BalIou Summons Newman
Superintendent Of Schools Ballou
summoned Newman to his office
today for conference.
The students who returned today
say they are back only because Of
Newman's plea and to show the
school officials that the lack of
discipline charge against him is
not true.
A huge assembly OF Newman
sympathizers which met yesterday
under the auspices of the Blaine
Invfncible Club in the Lincoln
Theater, voted to appear en- masse
Wednesday and ask the board 10

10 refute them, II possible, IN

rsfusal to do this was made by
Superintendent Ballou today who
staNted that dealings of the board
WITH ce school personnel is strictly
private
"cok1t action would mean" he
said, 'tuat arguments pro and con
would ts Forthcoming which might
be unpleasant to both Newman
and the school system"
Newman. so far, has a chance
TO be given the post OF military
instructor in the colored schools,
but IL his attitude is going to be a
defiant one when he leaves his
old post, DIR. Ballou said he may
find himself ''out of the school
system altogether"
Hints at Another Strike
That another strike is brewing
was broadly if1timated by Newman,
who said, las long as am in the
school there will be no strike. What
may happen if l am taken away

cision is to be made in the case of
Newman at this meeting.

goes into effect tomorrow against

ing. A pupil under 16 years OF age
