CARS

Reports that certain rum
runners are preparing to equip
their automobiles with smoke
screens which will pour out
lethal gases on pursuers have
resulted in Maj. Henry g..
Pratt, superintendent of police,
starting plans for an intensive
drive against operators Of
machines equipped with the
deadly screens.
Just what his initial move in
the war on the rum runners will
be Major Pratt declined to make
known today, but indicated that
before his campaign is completed
Washington will be entirely rid of
cars equipped with the illegal de-
vices.
1t is understood that Major Pratt
will seek the cooperation OF po-
lice authorities in several counties
adjacent to the District.
Alarmed at reports to the effect
that in certain Maryland towns me-
chanics are reaping a golden har.
vest in installing smoke screens
on rum runners cars. Major Pratt
has determined to make an in
tensive drive which will cover all
roads leading into the District.
Ferreting Planned
n It is indicated that Pratt will seek
TO have enforcement officers in the
several counties ferret out and re-
port to him all cases where smoke
screens have been installed by me-
chanics in their respective terri
tory.
This part of his plan contemplates
having county authorities notify him
of the cars so equipped, giving tag
numbers, engine numbers and de-
scriptions of the occupants, the
time they leave and the direction
in which they are headed for Wash.
ington.
1t is an established fact, accord.
ing to many patrolmen in the out
lying districts through which the
rum cars pass, that the majority of
these cars either have smoke
screens on them or are equipped so
that such devices may be installed
In a few minutes.
Blocking of Roads
While several plans have been
suggested to Pratt, he announced
today that he has not determined
on any one of them but that his
own plan will probably embody the
best features of those under con.
sideration.
One suggestion was to establish
police booths where motorcycle Off
GERS would be on duty at all times.
Information from Maryland would
be relayed to the booth the cars
would have to pass and the opera
tors would be taken into custody
at these points.
One practice in effect in southern
Virginia is to blockade roads with
heavy log chains. Police cars and
motorcycles are equipped with
special type siren. When the Off
GERS get behind suspect the siren
is turned on and the road blockaded
at certain strategic points. Pratt
refused to comment on whether or
not he will follow out such a plan
in the District.

 But take a look at these scores: Georgia 15, Yale 0. Florida IS, Geor- gia 6. Harvard 14, Florida O. Mak- ing Harvard fl points better than Yale.
 All of which only goes to show that you can prove anything at all on the basis of comparative scores.
 Speaking of the Big Three-Yale has announced a nine-game sched- ule for next fall breaking the Yale Harvard Princeton agreement to limit schedules to eight contests. The newcomer on the schedule is Alfred, which fits into the date formerly given Maryland. Maryland, in turn, has been showed considerably ahead on the schedule and Georgia moved back one week.
 That seems to be the strategy of the plan, for Georgia has been prov ing stumbling block in carly games and has twice upset Yale teams re- gently before they acquired their seasonal form. With an extra week 10 prepare, Yale should be ready for the southern Bulldogs, who have twice upset their championship as- pirations.
 Somebody has made the crack that the Big Three agreement has not been violated. as the afternoons S fun with Alfred will not be a game at all.

Child, 16, Asked Not to Be Buried in Graduation
 Dress

A dying wish that she be dressed in white silk rather than the dress in which she would have been grad uated from Nathan Hale Junior high school will be compiled with by the parents of Helen Sowa, 16 years old, of 72 Spring street. who was taken sick on the eve of graduation and died early yesterday morning follow ing an acute appendicitis attack.
 Many of her relatives thought 1t appropriate that she be clothed in the garments she h ad chosen for graduation, but when others told of the wishes of the girl it was decided to abandon the original plan.
 She was the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Andrew Sowa and atS the time of her illness her parents held up hope that she would be we'll enough to take part in the exercises. How ever. she was not in condition to do 90 and as time went on her condition became worse. She would have been among those entering high school next fall had she lived.
 Besides her parents. she leaves . brother. Joseph. and two sisters. Anna and Florence Sowa.
