Outstanding Economy
The new Chevrolet Six is an unusually

but its oil economy is equal to, if not
actually greater than, that of its

MODEL AIR TRAFFIC
CODE IS COMPLETED
Government Bureaus Issue
Suggestions for Standard
Port Laws.

Standard air traffic regulations for
airports throughout the United States
are urged by the Department of Com
merce aeronautics branch which today
issued suggested model code, prepared
by the Department of Commerce with
the cooperation of the Army Air
Corps, the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics,
the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce,
airport engineers and managers and
aircraft operators.
The general adoption of a standard
code of field rules will eliminate for air
traffic much of the confusion aSso-
ciated with present automobile traffic,
in the opinion of Maj. Clarence M.
Young, director of aeronautics, who will
become Assistant Secretary of Com
merce for Aeronautics on october l.
Standardization Needed.
Since the airplane's range is even
greater than that of the automobile,
Mai. Young pointed out, pilot flying
across the country will be confronted
with bewildering variety of rules and
regulations, differing at each airport he
visits, unless standard traffic code is
adopted.
The annual cost of unscientific and
inadequate regulation of automobile
traffic, according to the secretary of the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety, now totals 10000 per-
sons killed, 100000 injured and direct
economic loss of $2,000,000,O00. The
standard airport code has been drawn
up in an effort to prevent so far as
possible the creation Of such condi-
ton in the rapidly growing aviation
field.
The code recommended by the aero
nautics branch of the Department of
Commerce embraces general rules re-
garding flying, landing, taking of,
taxing, running engines, instruction
flying and test flights, parking and
mooring areas, dead lines and fire regu-
lations.
Urge Field Code Adoption.
Present Federal air traffic rules al
ready apply effectively to all aircraft
and pilots whether engaged in inter-
state or interstate flying, Maj. Young
explained. These rules, however, are

portant that a uniform code OF field

dividual airports, municipalities, coun-
ties and States be identical with the

MARYLAND DEFEAT
OF DRYS FORESEEN
Proposed Prohibition Law
Has Small Chance at
Present Session.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. January IL
That there is little hope of the pas
sage by the Maryland General Assembly
at this session of the so-called State
wide prohibition law. fostered by the
Maryland Anti-Saloon League, was in
dicated today by Democratic leaders.
They point out that the measure as in
troduced is nothing more than an en-
forcement law for Baltimore City and
for the few counties which do not now
have local option. They say they will
oppose such measure until it is In
troduced by the delegations from Balti-
more City and the counties which do
not have such law
While the Democrats believe that
they will have sufficient votes to kill
the measure in the House, they never
theleSs are quite confident that such q
measure will have the support Of the
Senate. At any rate, it is certain that
Gov. Ritchie will veto the bill, If en-
acted. Although here may be enough
votes to pass the bill the first time in
the House, it is believed that party lines
will prevent the mobilization of votes
sufficient to override the veto. The
governor is opposed to the Anti-Saloon
measure.

BUDGET PROJECTS
Supplemental Estimates of
$1,674,000 Are included in
Measure Given House.

Supplemental estimates for District
projects amounting to $1,674000 were
submitted to the House today by Presi-
dent Coolidge, transmitting Budget Bu-
reau recommendations. These will be
included in the District appropriation
bill, which is expected to be reported
to the House next Monday.
Chairman Simmons of the subcom-
mittee drafting this appropriation bill
said today that all of these supple
mental items will be paid out of 1880
revenues, and that there still will be
left approximately $l,000,000 to take
care of deficiencies and other emer-
gencies that may result from subsequent
legislation.
Inclusion of this additional budget
has resulted through the initiative of
the subcommittee on District appro-
priations, which, during the hearings,
developed the fact that appropriations
we're not being made to the full amount
of District revenues, and then started
an investigation to find out what ad-
ditional District projects could be un-
uCI bdkCl WIFI LillS surplus.
Conferences with the Budget Bureau
have resulted in submission of the list
sent to Congress today.
In the course of this investigation
it was brought out that the District
Commissioners, in submitting their es-
Inmates to the Budget Bureau, had
presented supplemental list, which
was rejected by the Budget Bureau be-
cause it provided for more jobs, sal
S.'ies and general maintenance ex-
penses. The Budget Bureau intimated
that If the District Commissioners
would submit supplemental list of
new projects for Capital developments
that they probably would receive IA
vorable consideration.
