DISTANCE MARKS URGED
TO CHECK MOTORMETERS
Harland, However, May oppose
Plan Because White Lines May
Become Too Numerous.

The location of distance markers
along a fiye-mile course on Sixteenth
street to enable motorists and taxi
cab passengers to check the accuracy
of motormeters has been suggested
to the Public Utilities Commission by
an employe Of the Bureau of Stand,
ards. it was announced today by Earl
V. Fisher, executive secretary OF the
commission.
The markers under the proposed
play would be placed in the roadway
at each quarter of mile for the first
mile and at one-mile points thereafter.
Visible white lines would serve as
markers.
The plan. however. is not likely to
be indorsed either by the commission
or Traffic Director William III. Har.
land The latter said he is opposed
TO placing any more white lines In
the roadways than is absolutely
necessary for the protection OF
pedestrians.

RECRUITS SWINDLE U. S.
Hundreds Seek Army Places tt
Get Transportation.

A new method OF obtaining trans

disclosed yesterday by the Department
of Justice which said there had been
extensive frauds perpetrated by men
Offering themselves as Army recruits.
This system of fraud appears to be
developing in various parts OF the
country" the department said today.
s.It involves the practice of obtaining
transportation On Government request
from recruiting officers of the Army
and Navy, ostensibity for the purpose
of reporting for duty at distant
point. whereas the evidence in several
cases tends to show that the formal
ity of enlisting was merely gone

GERMANS SEEK HIGH LEVY
Increased Tariff on Auto Parts
Urged by Dealers.

A proposal in Germany to increase
the tariff on automobile parts has been
communicated to the Commerce De-
partment by one Of its representatives
i'm Berlin. Until the German Govern
ment takes some official action, there
is little likelihood that the subject will
he taken up through diplomatic or Of
fetal commercial channels.
German manufacturers Of automo-
bile parts petitioned the German Gov
ernment to raise the rates in question
to the same level as those now applied
to assembled automobiles. Any aban-
donment Of the tariff differential, com.
mercial officials declare. would seri-
ously reduce the advantage that the
German plants Of American manufac-
turers now have.
