FAST DRIVER THWARTS
CHASE WITH SMOKE
Policeman Martin Halted After
Being Nearly Run Down on
Georgia Avenue.

Nearly run down by a speeding auto
mobile which sideswiped his patrol car
and continued without hating, Police
man Henry j. Martin Of the thirteenth
precinct, gave chase last night only to
be halted two blocks away when the
occupants of the pursued car released
an effective smoke screen attack.
Martin was examining the permit of a
truck driver he had just arrested in
the 5000 block of Georgia avenue for
exceeding the. speed limit when a pow
erful touring car with drawn curtains
flashed by, grazed the side of the parked
police car and kept going with una
Ibated speed.
The officer yelled to the arrested truck
driver, Ivan L. Polas of 135 Utah street,
to go to No. Is station and wait for
him. Martin then started in pursuit of
the hit-and-run car in the police road
Ster
Two block away however, the man
operating the smoke screen equipment
of the fleeing automobile, released a
cloud OF smoke too dense for Martin to
drive through, and the policeman was
forced to abandon the chase He did
not obtain the tag numbers of the car
PaloS, in the meantime, had complied
with Martins instructions to report to
the thirteenth precinct and was reward
ed for so doing when the officer APP
peared and voluntarily released his
prisoner on personal recognizance.

IRISH POET URGES
FARM POPULATION
George Russell, "AE," Would Have
20 Per Cent Remain in
A.ural Communities.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 27.-Fore-
seeing peril to American life in re-
duction of the Nations agricultural
population, George Russell, known as
"AE." Irish poet, painter and agricul-
tural economist, urged tonight the up
building of a rural civilization in which
at least 20 per cent of Americas popu-
lation would remain on the farm.
He spoke here at a dinner given in
his honor the first of a series of adj
dresses he viii make throughout the
country.
Taking an economists figures that
10 per cent of the population can pro-
duce sufficient to care for the other 80
per cent, the poet said:
II see N your country and in Europe
gathering multitudes of workers for
whom there is no employment. Will
not your unemployed gather in dark
slunnS and in one room as they do in
Europe, so that life will tester into
rottenneSs?
"And it maddens one to think that
man, the immortal, the divine, about
whom so many prophecies we're made,
could retrograde to the brute IN fetid
slum or murky alley where the devil
hath his many mansions, where thou
sands of families live each in one room,
where no function of the body can be
concealed. and modesty and delicacy
are creatures ere they are born"
To prevent this debacle, the poet
urged a rural society, with agriculture
intersperSed with rural industries, and
with emphasis on teaching each man
to be self-reliant.
