Solution of the traffic question
is purely an engineering problem
and is receiving the attention Of
engineering societies all over the
country, according to a report
adopted by the American Engineer
ing Council today at their annual
meeting in the Hotel MayfIower.
There is too much guess work
just now about the cause of acct
dents, too much opinion INDUCED
in and not enough facts" the re-
port states.
Safety zones" according to the
report, is a nlisnumer and such
zones are declared, to be inadequate
and unsafe.
Believing that 4he present gem
Grafton of automobile drivers are

that traffic rules be taught in the
public schools in order that the
coming generation may be better
equipped to handle the situation.

'!NPOLITE,'
N|]LLER
SAYS

Complaints are being received
at the District Building that the
Sixteenth Street automatic con,
troll traffic lights are adding to
the congestion on the boulevard
Col. I. C. Moller, assistant di-
rector of traffic, denies this. He
said that many letters have been
received by the office, all OF
which approve of the system and
it's scope of operations.
Motorists ImpOlite, He Says
Washington has the most i'm.
polite motorists in the United
States declared Colonel Moller
when asked about the alleged de-
lays caused by the lights. IF
drivers would only give an occa-
sional thought to the other fellow
things would work more smoothly
Moller said that although people
are praising the lights, the greatest
benefits could not be derived until
a cooperative spirit has been de.
veloped.
Consideration is now being given
to plan to change timing of the
Sixteenth Street lights, giving mo-
florists a longer period of 1eeway
in proceeding north and south.
1t is pointed out by the Corpora
ton Counsel that the speed limit
between H Street and Florida Ave-
nue. cannot be raised because Six
teenth Street between those points
is boulevard" and not an
"arterial highway"
The speed limit on a boulevard
cannot be raised beyond % miles
an hour and not conflict with the
traffic act.
TrbuOIes For Buses
Officials of the Washington
Rapid Transit Company. however,
have appealed to Director NJ. d,
Eldridge for relief from the lights.
I They declare that since the lights
were installed change in tie
stopping points of the Sixteenth
Street buses has been ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission.
Buses now take on and dis.
charge passengers. on the far side
of intersections.
1t is pointed out to Eldridge by
Alexander Shapiro, manager of the
bus line, that the buses often
times are required to make two
stops, one for the red light warm
ing on the near side of an inter.
section and the other on the fa.'
side for their patrons.
Although Eldridge promised TIC
look into the matter nothing has.
as yet, been done, Shapiro says.

Papers

/. Leon Brusiloff, the youthful
musical director at Loew's
Columbia Theater, has made
application before Mrs. Mary
Jeanette Loeffler, assistant

his intention of becoming an
American citizen in 1922. He
wanted to know today. whether
his final papers could not be
issued to him before February,
as he intended to get married
then and did not want his pros
pective bride, who is a native
American, to lose her citizen
ship, being under the impress
sion that still being a Russian
subject in February the young
lady would by marriage also be-
come a Russian.
J Mrs. Loeffler informed him
that such was not the case that
even though marrying a for
eigner, American girls, under
the new law do not lose their
American birthright.
