The lightning bug subsided long

And now, when a professor gravely
mutters,

relatively little in the United States
in the way of systematic flying. Yet
factories are turning out planes at n

trained in numbers. The machines
and the men are available for COM

Spectacular stunt flights and prize

Solution Suggested
In Auto License Row
To the Editor Of The Star,

To the Editor Of The Star,
Setting forth my views on the con.
troversy that is going on between the
Virginia in reference to reciprocity
on the auto license question: In view
of the following facts. / feel that
there will be no breakup of the neigh
borly association now existing be-
tween Washington and Virginia, and.
in my judgment, all the propaganda
and agitation on the subject has been
brought about by minor officials as
suming too much authority. In other
words. crossing the bridges before
they get to them. / feel that what
the attorney general meant in hand
ing down his opinion was miscon.
strued.
He simply means that no bona flde
resident of Virginia has q right to op-
crate his machine on District license
just because they cost less. l feel
that the most important duty for these
officers, who are taking such active
steps in this matter. would be to get
the name and address of all recog
niZed citizens of Virginia who are op~
Grating on District license and report
them to the State authorities. l feel
IL
course, they will have the backing of
the higher officials of both factions.
and feel quite sure that the incoming
Legislature will amend the traffic law.
IL need be, SO that reciprocity in ref
ersnce TO transportation, such as
busseS. trucks, bread wagons, oil and
provision trucks and similar transport
tatiOn, will continue as it is. 1t is
simply an exchange with the District
for milk and produce trucks from Vir-
ginia. To make the change that has
caused so much talk and bad feeling
would mean that Virginia would be
buying a Washington dollar with a
Virginia dollar, and each would have
to have a feet Of clerks to make the
exchange, and I feel that the great
be put to would be Inconsistent.
We should pursue different course
Of advertising Virginia. We have al
ways enjoyed the name of being the
State of hospitality; so don't let us
dcSpoil our courtesy and hospitality
of the past by any rash acts, for l am
sure the governor and the motor We
hicle bureaus of Virginia and the Dis
trict Commissioners, with their traffic
and motor bureaus, will be able to
make satisfactory adjustment of
this matter. And l would advise that
all local officials wait for orders from
headquarters before they take any
furt her action, except to get the
names and addresses of bona fide cit-
zens of Virginia who are operating
their automobiles on District licenses
and sending them to Mr.. Hays in
Richmond and let him send his men to
do the balance.
In closing, 1 am going to ask the
license dodger of Virginia to help
simplify matters by investigating his
or her conscience and coming forward
without protest and buying Virginia
licenses, for in this investigation they
will decide. / am a resident of Vir-
ginia and don't claim to be anything
else.
1 trust that this article will be re-
ceived as it is meant-in the interest
Of justice, peace and harmony.

In your editorial October 21) in re-

While this may be true from the

be questioned whether 1t is absolutely
so with reference to public open-air

To be sure, more or less uniformity
is essential in every art, and yet in alb.

weakening, a loss of artistic appeal.
In fact, contrasts, more or less pro-

The 9ew French regulations apply

affect unfavorably one-fifth Of our ex'
ports to France. Compensating ad-
vantages in connection with the other
four-fifths have been hinted at by
French statements, but whether or
not these compensations are real can.
not be said at this time. 1t Is evident
that the French government has in
view an agreed readjustment of tariff
charges on American products, and
it must certainly be admitted that the
French have something to complain
of in our tariff charges on their own
products. Inasmuch as 1t Is impossi
BILE to suppose that the French gov
ernment deliberately proposes to rob
the American Peter in order to enrich
the German Paul, 1t liz fair to infer
that in the end-that ise I'm the nego-
tiation of new commercial under.
standing with the United States-the
French will be found reasonable. We
certainly have to consider that their
fiscal problem is a very serious one
and that If we treat the ma jority of
our imports from France as luxuries
the French may also be disposed to
regard as luxuries the American mag

A Surplus of Stop Signs.

A great mystery has been explained
Since the traffic office of the District
began scattering stop signs hither and
! yon throughout the city, apparently
with no purpose in view other than
to embarrass traffic, motorists -lave
been wondering. to put it slanglly
what is the big idea? Now 1t has
leaked out that Washington received
one hundred and twenty-siX extra sig
nails over the contract, and 1t becomes
clear that this orgy of sign-placinG
is simply the result. of having a lot
of signs on hand and nothing in par
ticular to do with them.
Besides embarrassing traffic by com
pelling many unnecessary stops, these
one hundred and twentysiX extra signs
are also embarra ssing the Commls'
sioners and the traffic office, because
the District can find no way, legally,
to pay for them. In this connection
il might he suggested that whoever
was responsible for the mistake should
he compelled. as punishment, to drive
back and forth ten times day over
some of the routes now specially
marked with the red stop signs. After
he had worn out his brakes stopping
where stops were not needed, ana
worn out his patience by observing
how few persons obeyed the unreason-
able signs, he would be exceedingly
chary in the future about the number
of red enameled signals that he or
dcred.
Stop signs, when used discriminatory
and not indiscriminately, as they have
been with this excess supply, are de-
sirable and necessary from a stand
point of traffic safety. On boulevard
street and arterial highway intersec-
tons and at especially dangerous
crossings they are an important fac
tor in promoting safety. But when
they are scattered around with appar-
emily no study of conditions; when
they are placed preferentially to pro-
tect streets with car tracks; when
they are installed at wideopen cross
ings, where it is possible to see for
half a block on either side, or when
they are placed SO close together-as
at Eighteenth and u streets-that a
motorist feels that he resembles a
kangaroo in the contortions that he
is forced to undergo, then they are
not only undesirable, but a nuisance.
The modern theory of traffic is to
keep moving" Stops breed conges-
ton. Free.flowing. frictionless traffic
is the ideal of the authorities in every
city in the country. It helps business
and aids safety. This ideal, however,
can never be attained in the National
c.; oital as long as motorists are COM
PEELED to do a jig and dance, a hop
and skip and a jump. combined with
airpiane maneuvers in order to get
across the city. 1t is obvious, there
fore. that a mistake in ordering or
delivering stop signals should not pc
naliZe Washington traffic and Wash
ington motorists. The public will
await with interest remedial action
by the traffic Office.
