To AUTO RULES

Action on the SO propos I'd
changes in the traffic regulations
submitted to the District Commits
sioners by Traffic Director William
H. Harland probably will not be
taken for several days.
The Commissioners viii await the
reaction of the public before pass
ing on. the proposed changes.
The most important of the recon-
mendations submitted by Harland
is the proposal to extend the con-
sested district north to L Street
and west to Eighteenth Street
Parking is permitted for only one
hour in the congested district.
The other proposed changes are
of such a minor nature that Har-
land declared that motorists need
not memorize them. They deal
with one-way streets in isolated Sec
tions, designating two new boule-
ward highways and re.wOrding the
present traffic regulations to obtain
clearer rulings on parking regula-
tions affecting scattered small
stretches, of highway.

It is called the Order of Silent
Knights" and, according to Oscar
G. Thomas, who said he is attorney
for the order, it was incorporated
in the District in September. 1927,
along lines similar to that of the
Masonic order.
To Get Voters to Polls
Tt is non political, non-partisan,
secret and fraternal organization, !"
Thomas yesterday told a Times
reporter. ''One of its main mis-
sions is to get all the qualified
voters to the polls"
The order came. to the attention
of The Times through a Washing
ton woman, who wanted to file
suit against her husband for
divorce.
Accordingly, she put SO ION the
I'ne,'.. she said, and was thus in
line for initiation into the first de-
gree of the order. She also paid
$3.50, she declared, for a robe,
which, to date, she has not seen.
The woman thus became mem

The membership card is signed by
"F. H. Blackford," as supreme
grand secretary" who is also secre-
tary to Representative Clifton A.
Woodrum, of Roanoke, Va.
According to Thomas, who said
he is also an inspector" for the
order. his duties being to determine
the fitness of candidates for mem
bership in the organization, the or
der wants no publicity, but there
may be good story this spring, If
the supreme grand council feels
like giving to the newspapers.

SCHOOL NEEDS

Charles F. Carusi, chairman of
the Board OF Education, and DR..
Frank w. BalIou, Superintendent of
Schools for the District, were the
principal speakers before the lunch.
con meeting of the public schools
committee of the Washington Board
of Trade at the City Club yesterday.
Carusi told Of the various ways
that estimates on school funds were
submitted and the procedure that
they went through before receiving
approval.
DR.. Ballou explained the proposed
five-year building program that has
caused slight dissension between the
Board of District Commissioners
and the Board of Education.
Carusi said he believed the Board
of Education should voice the needs
of the school system and that the
commissioners were too far re-
moved" from the educational system
to recommend or set aside school re-
quests. The Commissioners do not
know the needs of Washington pub
lie educational institutions, he said,
1.-The Board of Education knows the
conditions in the schools and their
needs. They should be the ones to
submit the estimates to the Bureau
of the Budget"
DIR. Ballou in speaking of the Sec
ond five-year school building pro-
gram said it had proven great
saving over previous methods OF
educational building improvement.
He said it would provide for the
elimination of many items not now
needed in the school program.
Nearly 81 100000 has been saved
by the use Of the first program,
he said. .~-,

BRAND To FACE
SENATE QUIZ

The Senate District Committee
will make an inquiry into the record
Of Col. Harrison Brand. jr., as Pub
lie Utilities Commissioner before
recommending that the Senate con-
firm his reappointment to that post.
It appears likely today that ac-
ton upon his denomination will be
postponed until after the traction
merger agreement has been dis
posed of by the committee. The
merger issue and the matter of con-
firnning Colonel Brand have come
to be regarded by the Senators as
part of the same problem.
Serious Protest
Charges that Colonel Brand has
consistently favored the traction
interests in hearings before the
Public Utilities Commission have
y been brought into the open by the
NCentral Labor Union, which sent
"a delegation to Senator Capper,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, yesterday to protest
against the confirmation of his
denomination.
The merger situation in the Sen.
ate remains unchanged, with the
public utilities subcommittee await
ing the reply of the Wilson in
terests to the Maitbie report.
Final Campaign.
It is expected to be the opening
shot of a final campaign to per-
suade Congress to accept the uni
, fication agreement.
It will present features, accord
ing to reports current at the Capi.

TO ameliorate some of the harsh
criticism he has leveled against
the agreement as written.
