LETTERS LACK PRACTICAL IDEAS
FOR TRAFFIC LAW IMPROVEMENT
Eldridge's Appeal for Public Suggestions Brought
Only Flood of Impossible Methods and
Near-Humor, Col. Moller Says.

Scores Of letters offering suggestions
for improving Washington's traffic
situation were received today at the
office Of Traffic Director Eldridge, in
response to his public appeal for as
sistance in carrying out the order Of
the Commissioners for a reduction in
the number Of traffic regulations.
Mr.. Eldridge Is in Harrisburg, Pa,
studying its drivers permit system,
but his assistant. Col. 1. C. Moller,
carefully read the varied suggestions
and announced that not one of them,
in his opinion, offered a practical solu.
tion to the problem. The idea of the
Commissioners, he explained, is to
eliminate unnecessary regulations,
with a view to cutting down arrests
for traffic violations.
The majority Of Mr.. Eldridge's cor.
respondents, however, dealt in gen.
eralities, he said, and others attempt
ed humor. For instance, one writer
suggested that pedestrians not be al
lowed to wear dark clothes at night.
Another recom0ended that the Traf-
fic Bureau discharge all Of it's tenn
peramental officers who seem to think
the proper way to control traffic Is
to keep motorists scared to DEATH"
The writer's who apparently compre-
hended more thoroughly the intention
of the Commissioners to reduce ar.
rests urged the abolition of the regu.
lation requiring tail lights on auto.
mobiles parked at night, or q reduc.
ton in the size of the present con.
gested area to provide more parking
space near the business district for
all.day parkers.
Others recommended the reduction
of the speed limit to Is miles and the
discontinuance of the use of the auto.

StanfieId, After Conference
With President, Reports
LiberaIizing Bill.
ESTIMATE TO BE FINISHED
IN FEW DAYS, LORD SAYS
Executive, in Conference With Sen.
ator, Urges Delay to Prevent
Drain on Treasury.

Varying only slightly from the meas
ure reported to the House, the liberal
ized retirement bill for civil service
employees was favorably reported to
the Senate today by Senator Stanfield.
Republican. of Oregon, chairman
of a special subcommittee of the civil
service committee.
Senator Stanfield reported out the
bill in accordance with a statement he
made this morning, announcing at
that time that retirement legislation
would be pushed irrespective of what
President Coolidge may think of the
ultimate cost to the Government.
Senator Stanfield voiced the opinion
that there had been enough delay on
retirement legislation.
After the bill had been reported
Senator Stanfield expressed the hope
that he would be able to obtain ac-
ton in the Senate within two weeks
and predicted the plan would be ap-
proved.
Annuity Is Increased.
Like the House bill the Senate
measure increases the maximum an
nuity from $720 to 81 200 and raises
the retirement fund from 212 to 4
per cent of their salaries.
The method of computing the max
imum annuity Is the same as the
House bill namely, the average sal
ary OF the employe for the last 10
years of service. not to exceed
81 500, multiplied by the number of
years of service, and the result TO be
divided by 40.
The Senate bill permits 30.year op-
tional retirement at SIS for those EN-.
ployes who would be automatically re-
tired at 70 years. 1T permits optional
retirement at Sc years of age for
those who would automatically retire
at 65.
The only important difference in the
Senate BIN as compared to the House
bill Is that II allows no optional re.
tirement for those employees who are
retired automatically at So years of
age.
Two-Ycar Extensions Permitted.
The liberalized plan continues the
present law permitting twe-year ex.
tensions OF time beyond the retire.
ment age for employees whose services
are of special value, but the language
is changed to provide a method of de-
termining efficiency in order that
these extensions will be handled ac-
cording to uniform plan.
The Senate committee added a pro-
vision to the House bill under which
employees who were involuntarily sep
arated from the service at the age of
45 after Is years of service may be
brought under the retirement law
when they reach the age of 55 years.
This would afford relief to Navy Yard
workers who had to be let out of the
service at the conclusion of the war.
The Senate committee also included
in the benefits of the retirement law
employees of the Offices of solicitors of
the several Government departments,
the Recorder of Deeds Office of the
District, the Register of Wills of the
District, the Panama Canal service and
postmasters of the first, second and
third class who have been promoted

non.rush hours.
One correspondent advocated the
revelation of permits of all overtime
parkers.
While 1t is true that the majority
of traffic arrests in the last three
months have been for violations of
the tail light and overtime parking
regulations, Col. Moller expressed
the belief that neither could be abol-
ished. II tail lights are not required,
he said, the District would open it,
self to damage suits for every acci-
dent due to vehicles colliding with
parked machines. An automobile, he
contends, Is just as much an obstruc-
ton as a pile of gravel, sand or
other building materials, on which
lights are required at night when
left in the street. The continued op-
Grafton of the traffic lights is as nee
essary, he declared, as the operation
Of block system on a railroad.
Mr.. Eldridge will return TO Wash

with Maj. Hesse. The Commission
ers have asked these officials to, sub

Patching Plaster
Offers Easy Way
To Fix Old Walls

(Articlc 3 in series of spring
rcmodclng suggcstions.)
Before walls ana ceilings can be
fopapercd, roPa4nted Or rccaleimfn-
cd, unsightly cracks must be filled
and plaster must be restored t.
patches where it las fallen off, eN
posing the lath. For no surface
decoration will hide these defects
permanently. No matter what KIND
OF paint or paper may be used, it
il only a question of time before un.
repaired cracks will show through.
Plaster of Paris often is tried Us

gives permanent satisfaction. A lit
IL lesson III physics will show why.
Roth Plaster Of Paris and ordinary
wall plaster are gypsum. But each

freely than the denscr Plaster of
Paris does. so tie two materials
pull apart and the original crack or
other bicm;sh reapPears. This IS
true also of cements and filters
which sometimes are tried for patch
ing.
