ARMS ACENDA

LONDON, Jan. Is 1NSD All
question of the London Naval
Conference considering the abo.
lition of battleships has been def
nitely squelched and the subject
won't even be given a place in
the agenda when the "big five"
meet to discuss procedure on
Monday.
This was learned by Interna-
tional News Service from an of
ficial source today.
The tentative agenda which
Premier Macdonald prepared
originally contained the question
Of abolition or retention OF
battleships,' but after consulta-
ton with the others Of the big
five" the premier agreed that
it would be better to leave the
question out.
One Obstacle RumOred
This was found satisfactory to
all the delegates and one posi-
bic obstacle to agreement among
them was thereby removed.
The question of limiting the
size and numbers Of battleshipn
will ultimately be given a place
in the agenda, but only after
limitation of each category of the
auxiliary craft has been definitely
settled.
American insistence on this
point was due to a determination
to prevent the recurrence of the
experience suffered by the Ameri-
can delegates at the Washington

Anofher Fruit Fly broader

IT'S just one pest after another in the never
ending war between agricultural experts and
the enemies of various crops of the country.
Having taken emphatic and drastic steps
toward the eradication of the Mediterranean
fruit fly and having battled, to large extent
unsuccessfully. against the Mexican bean beetle,
the Japanese green beetle and other such pests.
along comes the dsmaying news that another
invader the Mexican fruit hy, is just on the
verge of making its way across the Rio Grarde
into the fruit belt of Southwestern States.
Maggots of this fruit ny were discovered in
two importatons of pluns apparently from the
State of Sinaloa, in Mexico. This State has
heretofore been a sort Of neutral zone of de.
tense between infested areas and the American
fruit belt but it Is feared now that despite
quarantine steps carried on by the Mexican
authorities the fly has made its way into the
protective zone.
The fly has twice made its way into the
United States, but in both cases, through the
co-operation of the Mexican authorities, it
wiped out.
The simple method of preventing any of the
host fruits attacked by the ny to ripen was
employed and the fly was exterminated. The
Mexcaus carried on the same activities on
their side of the border, with the result that
the outbreaks were suppressed.

Underground accidents.

HTFIE regular grist Of mine fatalities shows
that during May of this year 1SS miners met
their deaths in accidents. This was an increase
OF IT over May of last year. The striking part
OF this toll was the fact that none of the
deaths occurred in a major disaster: that is,
one In which five or more lost their lives.
1t is the little negligent act upon the part of
the miner or his co-workers or some over
sight in safety device that leads to the minor
accidents that take life here and there but

The Bureau Of Standards has

to provide q simple and effective

at airports and landing fields un-
der conditions where little or no
visibility existed.
The success obtained with the
radio-range beacon system in its
application to point-to-point fly
ing suggested its possibilities as a
field localizer. With the main
beacon used for guiding an air
plane to q given landing field,
it was decided that a loW.poWer
beacon with small loop anter1nas
could be employed for marking
out the major or any desirable
axis Of the landing field.
Low power marked beaconS
could then be used for defining
the hazard.free approach to the
field, along the axis or runway
selected, and for indicating the
longitudinal position Of the air
craft along the runway.
Most Of the research was CON

The beam is directed at q small

\ tlG 4ACA VI y RAORCAAJ CAAPOW-
ered body In the District to con.
troll and regulate taxicab matters
is probably the most important
reason for the sudden growth IN
the, industry on Washington
streets.
In 1918, when Congress estab-
lished the Public Utilities Commits
sion for the District, including mo-
tor cabs, trucks for hire and
busses. This power was limited
to the Capital.
Yet when the commission at
tempted to put q new code into
force at the first OF this year. In.
cluding compulsory liability assur.
ance to passengers, the courts Is
sued an Injunction against the new
regulations which virtually put the
commission out of authority.
This new code, passed on De
cember 80, 1879, BY the commits.
sion, provided, among other things,
that q person or company must
first file 3 rate schedule and oh.
tain written permission from the
commission before starting opera
tons.
Case Now On Appeal
The new code provided for COM
pulsory insurance, bonding or as.
sets to. protect the public against
any damages 1t might incur In
an accident.
When Q test case came to
court, with q landowner, r. B.
Smith rs originator. the District
Supreme Court sustained an or
der for injunction against the
commissions putting the insur.
ance liability regulations into ef-
feet.
At the present time the rec.
ords Of the case are filed in the
District Court Of Appeals and the
case will shortly be called be.
fore the body. although the taxi
men have not as yet filed their
answer.
The import Of this case was to
completely throw most Of the new
taxicab provisions out Of the
hands Of the Commission and
with the influx Of the 35-cent
cabs, pressure was Brought to
bear which made it suspend Its
opinions that all cabs should carry
meters.
Outside of mechanical inspec
tioTS. carried out by Sergt. Jo-
seph D. Harrington. of the Traf.
fic Bureau, the commission, which
outside Of the police is the only
body to regulate public utility
affairs. has attempted to exert
its guthority only twice.
Ignored BY Many
In their provisions, sent to all
cab owners, the commission
stated that monthly reports of
the companies finances were re-
quired. Yet nearly Is per cent
Of the letters sent out were re.
turned because Of false addresses.
while . good share Of independent
owners as yet has not returned
their statements.
The second attempt was to
compel all cab owners to paint
on their automobiles the name Of
the owner or firm and the mum.
