Bratianu's Death.

In the death OF Ion Brat nu. pre-.
mier of Eumania, the situation in tha {
country changes abruptly. No init,
nation of his i'll health had come west
ward. and it is to be believed that his
failing condition was being carefully
concealed from public knowledge, even
in Rumania. 1t reached a fatal climax X
sterday when an operation was per.
formed for a throat affection. 1mme.
diately the cabinet named his brother
Nintila premier. and precautions were
taken TO prevent an uprising OF the
Carolists-adherents of the exiled and
title.renouncing crown prince, who is
now in Paris awaiting events.
Ion Bratianu, who was popularity
called lionel" a diminutive, to differ
entiate him from his father, who was
for A long period before him the head
of the state. was man of vigor and
keen political perception. He had
been virtual ruler of Rumania for
years. Occasionally, when political
conditions for a time became adverse,
he withdrew from the premiership to
a less conspicuous post, but his au-
thority was at all times dominant. The
custer Of Carol from the succession
upon the elopement of that erratic
scion of royalty was attributed to
ratianu, whose influence over the
failing King was commanding The
passage through the Parliament of an
act formally accepting Carols renun-
citation of succession rights was due TO
his ;nsistence that the severance of
Carol from the crown should he made
definite and absolute.
Recent events have indicated wan
ing of Rratianu' power, especially the
acuuittnI of former Secretary Manoi-
lescu who was accused Of completely
in a plot to restore Carol to the
throne When that occurred it was
intimated that Bratianu was nearing
the end of his long career OF authority.
though it was not known that his
health was failing.
Probably the course Of events will
for the present lie in political chan
nels. with the overturn OF the min
stry. the organization Of an anti
Bratianu government, revocation of
Carols remuneration. and. il that young
man Is wiling to stand the chance,
his return. Yet this would he a revo-
luton in fact, inasmuch as the present
monarch of the country is the little
boy Michael. under regency. The
turn Of affairs may be upon the 10y
atty or disloyalty OF the army. If
that body holds to the present re-
gime Carols chances, despite political
changes, would seem to be slight.
There may be fighting. Rumania may
he swept by civil war. The chief con-
Germ OF the world is that in such
event the turmoil will not spread into
other Balkan states and precipitate a
dangerous condition menacing the
peace of Europe.

Were this the first case of doubtful
performance Giles would be generally
defended. But the fraud attempt ell
and all but accomplished by Jean
Calico in France serves to create a
prejudice against him in the public
mind. Calico claimed to have attained
the highest altitude ever reached by
man. IT was found that he had doc.
tored' his instruments before leaving
the ground and that in fact he had not
gone up to any unusual altitude, but
had loafed around for a time and then
returned with an apparent record.
When this fact was proved. and he
had confessed his guilt, his honors
were stripped from him. even that Of

Streets and Business.
n the New York Herald Tribune.

From the New York Herald Tribune.
IL the order Of Police Commissioner
Warren that interurban and subur.
ban buses must cease to use the
streets as terminals Is extended to
sightseeing busses, a crying nuisance
will soon be abated. To permit the
bus lines to park at corners where
private cars are forbidden to park is
manifestly unfair. The streets are
already overcrowded with traffic.
Vehicles operated for profit ought not
to be permitted to add to it.
But the worst offenders at present
are the sightseeing busses, which are
used also as transportation vehicles
between the center of town and the
seaside resorts or the race tracks.
These are of far less benefit to the
general public than are the suburban
cars, and the profit derived from them
II said to be much greater.
The condition which confronts Com.
missioner Warren existed under his
predecessor. Indeed, it has existed
since these great motor cars were
first put on the streets. But that is
no reason why it should continue. II
the urban and interurban busses can
be forced to provide their own ter
minals, SO can the sightseeing busses.
There is no valid reason why any par
ticular operating companies should
enjoy a special immunity from a rule
which ought to have general applica'
ton

Simple Warning Urged
To Replace Stop Signs
To ths Editor n, The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Having driven automobiles in the
District for about score of years, it
has been my privilege to see almost
all of the traffic rules brought forth
and tried. Some of the newborn
rules, found to be good, have
been raised to prolonged life and dig
nifty, while some. found wanting, have
been Killed and decently buried.
What have to deal with now is not
with the beneficial rules, for the good
is too often taken as a matter Of
course, but with one provocative rule
that is the cause Of much mild and
some deep resentment-and this is the
peremptory "Stop" sign at the inter.
section of cross-streets with boule-
wards and arterial highways having
the right of way. Often and often
have l driven to these highways and
with no car coming in sight from
either direction I must, perforce be-
cause of that "Stop" sign. apply the
brakes. throw out the clutch and stop,
with the result only an unnecessary
wearing of the brake lining, the
clutch disk and the rear rubber tires,
with loss of time and gasoline to boot.
Il have often wondered if this stop"
rule was born in the mind of some
one owning stocks in the brake-lining
and clutchfacing Industry
But 1t Is one thing to criticize a
seeming fault and another thing to
offer a remedy for the same. never
theless here is a suggestion: In place
Of the word stop" let the sign read.
"Cross-street ahead has the right of
way. drive carefully"
1t being known and understood that
the driver who crosses the right Of
way must bear the brunt in case of
accident. the said driver would. of
course. be duly cautious.

Was Giles a Gutter?

Has the fair record of aviation for
the integrity of the flyers who brave
great dangers been further smirched
by a pretense of peril? Intimations
are made that the return of Capt.
Frederick Giles, shortly after starting
his fight to Australia from the Pacific
coast, was not necessitated by an en-.
counter with disabling and all but
fatal wind conditions, as he stated
upon his arrival. shortly after his take.

into an air pocket drenched with
phenomenal railfall, that his ship
was turned over, that he lost his in
struments and supplies, and esca ped
by miracle with his life and his shin

His statement is questioned by the
Weather Bureau observer at San
Francisco, who AYERS that there were
no such conditions off the coast at the

Encourage Distance
Fans, Radioist Says
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The star:
Tn your editorial comment of the
18th instant upon the request or the
Federal Radio Commission that sta
ton WRC cease broadcasting at il
p.m in order to give Eastern listeners
chance to pick up XII in Los An
geles, you express the opinion that the
Radio Commission must he exceeding
ly optimistic regarding the character
OF radio sets owned by Washingto-
mia MS, and state that the commission
must believe that every one of the
sets in Washington is an elSht-tube
affair. etc.
The commission is not necessarily
optimistic in this respect. nor is it es-
sential that Il radio owner have an
eight tube set in order to pick up these
distant stations-provided Of course.
there is freedom from interference. |
have had station kF.I at Los Angeles
on number OF radio sets, none of
which was an eight-tube set. AS a
matter of fact. they were three tube
sets with the exception OF one. four
tube set Furthermore, they were
homemade sets--that is, they were
built by myself, but not the type of
set one usually thinks of as "home
made set. 1t is not at all ridiculous
for Washingtonians owning good radio
sets OF one or more tubes to try for
Los Angeles after WRC has shut
down. Nor was it so utterly ridiculous
as YOU seem to think for the owners
OF two-tube sets to attempt to bring in
European stations during the test of
last year. The trouble during that
test was that there were so many
reradiating receivers in use that the
listener could hear nothing but the
ErAr xl11 CT l. l.
fellow dial twirlers. During the test
of 1924 1 succeeded in picking up a
station in Brussels, using a three-tube
set, and received official confirmation.
The fans to whom you refer as be-
ing content with local stations are not
radio fans-they are music fans. They
owe much OF their present enjoyment
to the real radio fans Of previous
years. fans like those composing the
minority you mention. Those pioneer
fans were in the game for the thrill of
achievement. They were not seeking
the entertainment that comes from
good music. Far sweeter to their ears
was the voice Of the announcer of a
distant station, regardless of the
"straining of ears" or the crashes of
static.
Theirs was a new toy of absorbing
interest, and they spent their time and
means toward its improvement How
we'll they succeeded Is apparent to all
who are familiar with the development
Of the radio receiver. for it is an undis-
puted fact that these amateur set
builders led and the manufacturers
followed. Shall we discourage these
long distance fans now that radio has
been brought to a sort of you press
the-button" stage, where one has but
to turn q switch and move single
dial to some certain number to tune
in a station? Evidently the Radio
Commission thinks not.
