CUDD|HY IS WINNER
OF PURSUIT RACE
Leads 13 Other Entrants to
Set New Record for Class
at 1870 Miles an Hour.
BY FREDERICK X. \EELI.
staff Correspondent of The star.

PHILADELPHIA. September IL
Lieut.. George r. Cuddihy of the Naval
Air Station at Anacostia, victim of an
aviation jinx in aircraft contests of
the past two years, today shook the
i'll omen from his shoulders and
| romped away with the free-for-all pur-
suit race, the climaxing feature of the
1926 national air meet.
Flying a Boeing pursuit plane, espe-
cally fitted with a Packard 60-horse-
power engine, the daring little officer
flashed out ahead of 13 other speedy
entrants to the tune Of 180.495 miles
per hour. The engine and plane did
most of the work. and what was lack
ing to put the Washington airman
ahead of the Army and Marines was
skill and experience he possessed in
handling high-speed craft. Just a
couple OF weeks ago the pilot flew
from this city to Washington In 32
minutes.
Washington also won other honors

average speed of 10 miles an hour
Sandwiched in between Lieut.. Cuddihy
and Capt. Hoyt was Lieut.. l.. g. Ell

the race yesterday for the first pursuit

miles per hour.
Two Officers Disqualified.

out today left the grounds along about

impression that Lieut.. Elliott had

ELDR|DGE TO SEEK
PEDESTRIAN RULE
Will Present Plan for Use of
Pink Warning Cards to
Chiefs This Week.

Adoption of the long proposed
pedestrian control regulation will be
recommended to the District Commits
sioners this week by Traffic Director
NJ. o. Eldridge.
Acting on the advice of the District
Traffic Council, Mr.. Eldridge will urge
that the regulation, during an expert
mental period, apply only at intersec-
tions controlled by automatic signal
lights. 1t was originally planned to
regulate pedestrians at all interseC-
tions controlled either by traffic off,
GERS or the automatic lights, but the
the suggested modification of the
traffic council.
Pink Cards to Be Given.
An educational campaign will he
carried on for an indefinite period TO
acquaint pedestrians with the new
regulation providing it is approved.
No arrests will be made but police
men will be stationed at the intersec-
with d pink card warning them that
they have committed an infraction of
the traffic rules.
The presentation ceremonies" Mr..
Eldridge believes, will cause sufficient
embarrassment to the pedestrian VIC.
latOrs to make them more cautious in
the future and thereby obviate the
necessity of making arrests for such
tnfraCtionS. The regulation, however
will carry Il penalty for its violation
and at the expiration of the so-called
campaign OF education il is proposed
to make arrests.
Former Rule Held Invalid.
pedestrian control regulation
was put into force soon after the
creation of the Traffic Bureau, but
it was held invalid in court and sub
sequently stricken front the traffic
code. The amended traffic act, how
ever, gives the director of traffic au-
thority to regulate all moving We
hicles and animals in motion and
leaves no loopholes. in Mr.. Eldridge' 8
opinion, for some Police Court judge
to hold the proposed pedestrian con
troll regulation illegal.
An educational campaign, similar
to the drive which Mr.. EldIidge has
outlined preliminary to enforcing the
new regulation with arrests, was
waged during the short-lived period
the former jay walking prohibition
was in force. No pink cards were
issued to offenders, but the police
officers conducting the campaign re-
corded their names and addresses on
little note tablets. The pink card
idea was copied from Cincinnati.

time with marked success, according

MARKET SITE DUE
FOR SPECIAL STUDY
Fine Arts Commission to Give
Its Advice for Removal
From Mall.
BY WILL y. KENNEDY.

President Coolidge's announcement
that he is desirous of keeping the in
tegrity of the Mall safe from the en-
croachment Of public buildings, and
his belief that the present Center Mar
ket site would be a convenient and
practical location for the new $1O,-
OOO, 900 home for the Department OF
Commerce, encourages the hope that
the entire market area may be
cleaned out at one time, which would
make possible most efficient reloca-
ton of model market center for the
National Capital.
The entire problem, which now
links the ong-contemplated and cher
ished plan of improving the triangle
between Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall with Government buildings most
conspicuously with the relocation OF
the market system, comes before the
Commission Of Fine Arts this week
for it's advisory consideration.
The Fine Arts Commission is not
so much concerned with the site on
which the market may be located, be-
lieving that convenience to the pun-
lie and business considerations in the
handling Of food products should guide
the choice The Fine Arts Commls-
sion believes Washington should have
market like the one in Paris, ana
If not. then at least one similar to the
market in Newark, n. j.. which is
really a monumental building.
Removal Long Favored.
For a quarter of a century the t1ne
Arts Commission has been on record
- ra,,nnxyiner the I1riOIlS units
of the market from the area between
PENNSYLVANIA avenue and the Mall.
because it regards them as an eye
$ore The commission at the same
time believes that Washington abso-
luteIy needs a public market as reg
ulator of prices for food supplies.
Whatever location is selected for
the new market center, the Fine Arts
Commission wants it StructuallY TO ne
a model market. The commission Will
insist that the plans provide for keep
ing the new market out or the streets
and off the sidewalks, and that the
market area be surrounded Dy afcnl'
tecturally attractive and harmonious
structures. 1t will advise that there
should be more handling of foodsuffs
through the back door instead of the
front door and will advocate as gen
eral principal the greater use OF alleys
and back yards for parking of auto
mobiles. so as to give accommodation
for more cars in the streets.
In recent conferences between the
co.ordinating committee on the mar
ket problem and the National Capita!
Parks and Planning Commission, IT
was decided that the present whole
sale district and the farmers mar
ket should be closed out at the same
time. entirely Independent of whether
Center (or retaiD Market is moved
now or eventually. Charles Elliott
the new city planner, was prompt in
stating his opinion that the whole
market area in the triangle south of
the Avenue should be cleaned out as
soon as possible. The market centers

BELGIAN DRYS MEET In OLD CITY OF CLIENT

Belgian Drys Advancing Their Cause; Hard Liquor
Drinking Decreases Under New Law

american Issue)
Nevertheless the Client congress, which
was ably presided by professor of Client
university, DR.. De Stella, and organized
by Prof. Verlat of Antwerp, brought much
that will contribute to the further progress
of the movement. The discussions were
introduced by DR.. Boulenger, secretary of
the State Office for the study of the al
cohol question who gave report on the
results of the Belgian law of 1910 which
prohibited the sale of spirits for consump-
ton on the premises.
Consumption of Hard Liquor Reduced
This law, which is bitterly opposed by
the liquor trade, holds good and has
greatly reduced the consumption of hard
liquor. For the year 1925 this consump-
ton amounts to one liter absolute alcohol
per head, just before the war it was two
and a half liters. But as the law takes no
account of fermented beverages the con-
sumption of these is singularly high. Thus
in the year 1925, the Belgians drank 185
liters of beer per head, that is about 40
gallons, a very creditab1e performance.
The consumption of wine is also on the
increase, 10 liters per head instead of to
s as before the war. The social results of
the law are in general good. Mental dis
