TIP FOR FISHERMEN.
HARPERs FERRY, w. Va. July lis.
The Potomac River was clear and
the Shenandoah cloudy this morning.
Evening star., 1926-03-27

provision of the Constitution to the
rail lines was vigorously opposed, but
was finally sustained, and the present
Interstate Commerce Commission, with
it's broad powers, was created in con-
sequence. That commission regulates
and water. It is now sought to ex-
tend its jurisdiction to the motor
truck, which is undeniably means of
interstate commerce, differing only
from the rail lines in that routes are
flexible. The matter of the route fol-
lowed by common carrier is not ma
terial. The fact that a truck, espe-
cially in regular scheduled service, plies
between points in different States puts
it unquestionably in the eye of the
law in the category Of the interstate
carrier. That it is competitor of the
rail lines is evident. The truck service
bids for patronage on the score CT
greater economy in that collections
deliveries are direct. In this re-
spect it affords special service"
Regulation of rates might be difficult
in view of this additional factor.
Railroads are in some cases using
motor trucks for their own purposes
as feeders and supplementary truck
line service. When they do so they
become subject to rate regulation.
They cannot escape supervision by
changing the mode of transportation.
Thus some of the truck service is un-
der Federal supervision already. 1t is
natural that the railroads should seek
an enactment which puts all freight
carriage between the States, whatever
the vehicle and motive power, on the
same basis of interstate commerce
control.

Racommit the Bill!

Recall by the House Of Representa-
tives of the bill, recently passed along
with a number Of others of the same
character. providing for the construc-
ton Of a bridge across the Potomac
River just above the District bound
ary, is but one of the moves that
should be made to put this matter
upon a proper status. The bill should
be recommitted for further considera~
tion, and not permitted to lie upon the
Speakers table," where it now rests.
The meaning and merits of this bill
were not given that careful study in
committee that any measure of this
character requires. A subcommittee OF
the Senate is now holding a hearing
on an identical bill, beginning today,
and it is assured that the subject will
be thoroughly examined, with oppor-
tunity for all interests to present their
views and arguments. Unless the
House is willing to let the matter
stand on the basis of the Senate com.
mittee's inquiry it should pursue the
same course in order to acquaint itself
through it's committee with the merits
of the proposition.
This is more than a mere bridge
bill' of the usual character. 1t is a
part Of plan which vitally affects
many interests and which is opposed
with determination by large number
of people 1t touches the interests OF
the government, the railroads and
developing residential community. II
materially affects the welfare OF the
Capital The manner in which 1t was
sought to secure this legislation, with
out hearing and by inclusion with
numerous other bills of the same gen
eral character, has now aroused
prejudice against It. Its proponents
therefore, should be willing to have
the bill recommitted for an eXamina-
ton such as that which is being made
bv the Senate subcommittee into the
subject.

A Civilian Patrol.

A civilian patrol to assist traffic po-
lice in compelling obedience to the au-
tomato light signals on sixteenth
street and Massachusetts avenue was
urged last night at meeting OF the
Thomas Circle Citizens Association
Alarmed at the unchecked careless
ness and indifference of motorists IN
regard to the mandates of the nght
signals. the association voted TO IN
vestigate the project through its eX'
ecutive committee.
Since the abolition Of the Motor
Corps, which was composed OF three
hundred selected citizens, who pledged
their time and energy to the city III
emergency and peace,time traftlc
work, there has been no private and
unseen check-up on the motoriSt who
disobeys all regulations as soon as
he gets out of sight of a policeman.
This class of driver Is prevalent in
Washington today. He keeps one eye
cooked for a uniform on reaching a
boulevard or light-controlled street
and seeing none, proceeds against sig
nails with the utmost unconcern. He
is the type who plows ahead regard
less of the rights of others, Indifferent
TO even the fundamentals of courtesy
and causes confusion and accidents
wherever ne happens to make his APP
pearance.
Curbing of the activities of these
drivers is a big problem. Inasmuch as
they are of the smart aleck' klnd,
alert to danger from recognized au-
thorities, they are difficult for the po-
lice to catch. It is the law-abidinS
motorist who has the questionable
privilege of witnessing their menaclng
actions and he is powerless to bring
them to book.
Formation of a civilian patrol is
probably the only means of curing this
condition. During the era of the
Motor Corps the three hundred mem
hers of that organization were a con-
slant threat to the violator of traffic
regulations. A SeIecLeu Huiilceh 20
public-spirited motorists and pedes-
trians organized into a patrol for the
unfolding of streetVules would doubt
less cause a change of heart among
the law-breaking fraternity.
This proposition should be thoF'
oughly studied. 1t is not plan that
can be entered into without considera-
ton. 1t may encounter objection, but
it is certainly apparent that, If prop
erlv carried out, it's benefits will out
weigh other considerations. Some
thing must be done to convince motor
lists that they cannot make faces" at
the law with impunity, and whatever
is done must be an effective check on
this particular class of driver.

Safety in Flying.

Washington had a demonstration
Thursday of the important part good
Judgment and composure play in mil
itary aviation, in the case of the big
heavy bombing plane which was glided
into the Potomac River by a naval avi-
take-off from the ground. Such exam
pies of good plotting, which occur reg
ularly in routine service flying, but
seldom find their way into the news
papers, boost the stock of safety in
aviation higher and higher, and even
tually will correct the regrettable
impression that a large majority of
aircraft accidents are due to the per-
sonnel in the plane and not structural
failure.
MANY a good airman of the Army,
Navy and Marines has been killed for
doing what Lieut.. Jimmie" Barner
did not do Thursday. Acting in good
faith and with the preservation of
their plane placed above human life,
these airmen have attempted to turn
hack to the field when motor trouble
developed on the take-off. Invariably
the planes plunged head-on into the
ground. often bursting into flames and
bringing instant death to those aboard.
The explanation is that the airplane
on the take-off has just enough speed
barely to cling to the air. 1t is almost
ut the point of stalling, and the slight
est diminution in the power of the en-
gine will Immediately convert the
featherlilxe object into hundreds or
thousands of pounds of dead weight
When q pilot finds his motor sput-
tering or cutting out" just after he
leaves the ground and before he has
sufficient altitude to attempt a return
to the field, it is a commendable feat
to nose down, maintain flying speed
and land straight ahead, no matter If
it is in somebody's back yard or the
river The landing under these cir
