Special Dispatch to The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June s.
For the second consecutive year the
Mexican bean BEETLE is making Its ap-
pearance in Prince Georges County.
according to w. b. Posey, county agrl-
cultural agent and tobacco specialist
Mr.. Posey points out that the beetle
proved highly injurious and difficult to
control last year.
According to DR.. E. N. Cory, State
entomologiSt, busting or spraying with
arsenicals has given excellent results
in killing the insects where the appli.
cations have been made promptly and
thoroughly. Either spraying or dust
ing must be done from the under SIDE
of the leaves, as the insects feed there
rather than on the upper side.

DRIVERS ESCAPE
SUSPENSION HERE
BY RECIPROCITY
Can Operate Car After Los
ing Permits by Moving
to Virginia.
JUSTICE ROBB UPHOLDS
1921 APPEALS RULING
Removes Ambiguity in Act of 1917
by Relieving NONRESIDENT of
D. C. Regulations.

A District motorist whose driver
permit Is either suspended or revoked
by the director Of traffic can move into
Virginia and with the license tags of
that State on his car legally operate
it in the District. This was the ruling
today of Justice Robb of the District
Court Of Appeals in reversing the deci-
sion Of Police Court Judge Mcmahon,
who convicted and fined Charles H
Fred for driving a motor vehicle In
the District while his District OPERATOR
permit was revoked.
Follows 1921 Ruling.
Justice Robb's decision, which gives
District motorists this opportunity to
escape the trafic directors penalty, fol-
lows a similar ruling by the Court OF
Appeals in 1921, prior to enactment OF
the trafic act. In substance, the APP
pellate court held that a resident Of
Virginia who complies with the motor
vehicle requirements of that State may
operate in the District under the reel
procity agreement between the District
and Virginia, even though his privilege
to operate in the District has been de-
MED.
In approving the former ruling, JUS
tice Robb pointed out that the traffic
ACT OF 1870 removed Inc AInpleuiCy
which the court, in the King case,
found to exist in the act of 1917 and
expressly relieved the nonresident
owner or operator of a motor vehicle
who has complied with the laws of his
State respecting registration and oper-
ator's licenses from either registering
his vehicle here or obtaining local
operators permit, provided only that
similar privileges are extended to resi-
dents of the District in that State.
Fred's permit had been revoked in
December, 1926, and in April, 1928, he
became a bona flde resident Of Virginia.
In August, 1928, he was given permits
sion by Virginia to operate an automo-
bile and in September, 1928, while tenn
porarily in the District and while his
Virginia permit was in force, he was
arrested and convicted.

Mr.. Solomon said this stand is almost
opposite the Eighth Street Temple. in
which services are held every Saturday
morning and several other week days
during the year; that H street is narrow
and that to place this open market
there would greatly add to trafic con-
