two men. Nearly four hours later, &C
cording to the officer. he saw two men
at Fifteenth street and Columbia road
whose description corresponded with
that given him by the man on Four
teenth street. One of the men was in
q machine, he said, and the other was
standing beside it, and when they saw
him both ran.

LEFT TURN URGED
ON GREEN LIGHTS
Association Asks for Change
in Interest of Conformity
of Traffic Rules.

The left turn on the green light is
one of four changes in traffic practices
urged upon Commissioner Herbert B.
Crosby. by the law and traffic COM
mittee Of the Washington Automotive
Trade Association, as announced by
the committee last night at its final
meeting of the season.
p The four recommendations were set
forth at the Racquet Club by Paul B..
Lum. chairman of the committee, in
q report to the association. The letter
to Commissioner Crosby urged the
adoption Of these general principles:
Urged Uniformity.
The left turn on green lights be per-
mitted, on the ground that the heavy
tourist trafhc in Washington makes
uniformity with the regulations Of other
communities desirable.
That traflc lights should be installed
at intersections where the need Is ap-
parent and that regulation of them
should be governed by the volume Of
traffic.
That many stop signs should be dis
carded because they tend to make driv-
ing burdensome. The committee said
in its letter that streets carrying rush.
hour traffic should be protected only in
such hours and that cars entering or
crossing such streets should yield the
right Of way. The committee recon.
mended further that on boulevards on
which speeds greater than % miles an
hour are permitted, protection should
be afforded, but under other conditions
many stop signs should be replaced by
signs instructing caution or slow driv-
ing.
Letter Acknowledged.
The other recommendation was that
the Mcleod financial responsibility bill
be passed by Congress.
Mr.. Lum stated that the Commits
sioner had acknowledged receipt OF the
letter, but it was not said what MT
Crosby's expression was on the matter
The association voted to recess for the
summer and resume its meetings in
october.

LIBRARY RESEARCH
FUND IS GROWING
More Than 100000 of Million
Dollar Endowment Already Re-
ceived by American Association.

Friends of reading have subscribed
more than 100000 of the million-d dol
lar endowment sought by the American
Library Association, according to DIR.
George F. Bowerman, librarian of the
Public Library of the District of Co
lumbia and member of the A. L. A.
special membership committee.
One million dollars has already been
given the association to permit eXpan-
sion of It's cultural and research work
and another million Is believed by the
officers of the association to be in sight
as soon as the public has evidenced
its interest by subscribing an equal
amount.
For more than so years the Amer
lean Library Association has been re-
sponsible for the development of the
public library in America" states DR.
Bowerman. "It has become a major
educational activity In fields difficult
to cover by other educational methods.
TT is working for the establishment
of county libraries for the $4,000, 900
residents of rural communities still
without library privileges. 1t has pub
lished more than 600 900 Reading With
q Purpose courses which are in use all
over the country as a stimulus to the
reading of worthwhile books by adults
seeking elf-education. 1t is COOPER
ating with universities and other insti-
buttons Of learning in establishing and
improving education for librarianship.
1t Is working to increase reading ia
cilities for the blind. for the foreign
born and for hospitals and prisons
Some of the money now being sought
Is urgently needed for the better or-
ganizatiOn of school library service The
library should be the very heart IT the
teaching institution, but most schools
are without adequate library service and
there is no national bureau to which
they can turn for advice. The aSsocia-
ton could probably use the income
from an endowment equal to that of
a great university, Jut all that it is ask
ing is $50 sustaining memberships at
