MAP TRACES TRIPS
WASHINGTON MADE
National Geographic Society
Complies Record of First
Presidents Travels.

A map showing all the travels OF
George Washington has been issued by
the National Geographic Society as its
contribution to the commemoration OF
the bicentennial of his birth.
The first President is represented as
having travelled more widely in America
than any other official of his time. His
Journeys extended from Savannah, Ga.
to Kittery, Me, and reached westward
to the vicinity of Lake Erie, IN Penn
svlvania; the neighborhood of Point
Pleasant, in West Virginia, and to
Gallipolis, in Ohio.
The map on single chart, is the
product of more than years careful
research by the staff members and map
makers of the Geographic Society.
These researches included the most
thorough check yet made on the diaries
of Washington, contemporary accounts
of his travels and observations and
personal visits to many places where
changed or duplicated names long nave
caused doubt about the exact routes
taken or places visited.
The map, which is being sent to the
society's membership, is printed in five
colors and is 28 by l8 inches in size.
Divided Into Four Periods.
Washington's travels are divided into
four periods-that of his surveying and
the French and Indian campaigns, his
travels to the West from 1859 to l774,
the years of the Revolutionary War
and his travels after the war from 1874
to 1899.
The principal highways of Colonial
times are shown. On the map COM
binations of color and italic and Roman
type are used to show the places
Washington actually visited, other
places existing in his time and places
rebuilt or renamed since his death.
Five inset maps show in greater de-
tail his travels in the vicinities of Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, New York and Tide
water Virginia, and the plat OF the
farms about Mount Vernon.
The Father of His Country IS por-
trayed as travelling on horseback from
Williamsburg to Fort LIE Boeuf and from
Mount Vernon to Boston. He also made
three sea voyages which generally are
not known, one of them to the Bar
bados.
On horseback he sometimes averaged
more than 35 miles day for more than
a week, and on one occasion rode $50
miles in l6 days.
The accuracy with which Washing
ton on horseback gagged distances well
may excite our wonder" DR.. William
Joseph ShoWalter states in an article
accompanying the map. "Often he tells
in his notes how far he travelled on a
given day. In many places, where
staff member of the National Geo
graphic Magazine was able to check
these distances with speedometer read
ings, they were found to correspond ce-
markably with Washington's mileage
record"

LAUDS WILSON'S
PLAN FOR PEACE
Lawrence Says U. S., to All
Intents and Purposes, Has
Joined League.

Declaring that America to all in
tents and purposes has Joined the
League of Nations in spirit, David Law
renee, editor of the United States Daily
paid tribute to Woodrow Wilson and
his conception of world cooperation in
radio address last night on the sew
enty-fifth anniversary Of Wilson's birth
President Wilson believed the League
would be a constantly changing inStru-
mentality for peace" Lawrence said, in
speaking over a network of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. He thought
it would be a kind of continuing peace
conference, ready from year to year to
adjust the inequities that might arise
and to correct the injustice of a hastily
written peace treaty. 1t is this concept
of the League which 10 years has failed
as yet to be widely appreciated. For
as the nations are able to see clearly
the awfulness of peace without victory,
they will in time come to rely on the
corrective influence of public opinion as
the greatest force behind the League of
Nations"
Meanwhile, Lawrence pointed out, the
League of Nations cannot be expected
to be an enforcement agency and en-
ploy physical force to secure compliance
with its demands. On the contrary, he
said, I'VE can expect, instead, the steady
and persistent growth of its influence in
world diplomacy and the gradual &C
ceptance of its advice by recalcitrant
nations, for whether today the United
States is an actual member or merely
a cooperating nation in essential mat
ters, it is a fact that the whole world
knows that in nine cases cut of ten
the United States has ranged itself
alongside of the nations that sit at
Geneva and develop the deliberate judg-
ments that reflect the morality of all
civilized nations"

GIRLS AMONG a HURT
In TRAFFIC MISHAPS
Runaway Auto Bowls Man Over,
Races Down Hill and Smashes
Lamp Post.

Traffic accidents late yesterday and
last night took a toll Of four casualties,
including Abraham Miller, 40, Of 1873
Webster street, who was severely IN
iured when a runaway car struck his
parked machine and then continued on
for nearly block before coming TO a

Among the victims were two little
girlS-Grace Pruitt, 10 years old, OF
2O4l Michigan avenue northeast, and
Jane Murphy, s, of 1903 Van Ness

tcmobileS near their homes.
Miller was hurt when car belonging
to William Graham, 109 Webster street,
drifted down the incline from It's park
ing place and struck him as he was
preparing to enter his own sedan. He
was moved to Soldiers Home Hospital
and treated for cuts and bruises. HIS
car was badly damaged.
The runaway machine Veered after
telling Miller and continued down the
hill until it smashed into lamp post
in the next block.
An automobile operated by Clyde w
Petty, 27, of 709 Eighth street, knocked
down the Pruitt child as she was going
to the store for her mother. She was
taken to Casualty Hospital, where 1t
was found she had suffered a possible

tween his paws"
The 5-year-old police dog weighs
more than 100 pounds and he's strong
enough to carry home market baskets
which grow too heavy for Miss Davis.
Other times he goes to the stores by
himself-drug stores, grocery stores,
butchers shops, but he is impatient of
poor service.
When the clerks don't fill his bas-
ket at once" Miss Davis said, "Rinty
turns right around and runs home to
sulk. He can't seem to learn that he
must wait his turn"
When Rinty had to give UP the
pocketbook to its owner he got an extra
large soup bone in return.
He likes soup bones" Miss Davis
said, but I know he would rather
have kept that pocketbook."

POLICE EXPECTED
. ITO SHOW LEN|ENCY
ON UNTITLED CARS
Motorists May Be Able to
Drive Until February |
Without Papers.
WILL BE CALLED UPON
TO EXPLAIN HARDNESS
Mere Filing of Application Not
Sufficient, Van Duzer
Explains.

Leniency will be shown toward Dis
trict motorists driving untitled cars BE-
tween January l and February /, 1t was
indicated today by officials OF the
police department.
Capt. B. A. Lamb, acting supervisor
of the traffic bureau in the absence OF
Inspector E. w. Brown, said there would
not be a special crusade to round up
drivers of untitled cars, although such
drivers likely would be called upon Tor
an explanation of their failure to pro-
cure a title, should they be arrested
for a traffic violation.
The policy of the department with
respect to operators Of the untitled cars,
however, has not been definitely de-
cided, but Capt. Lamb is planning a
conference for this purpose with In
spector L. I. H. Edwards
$4,000 Cars Untitled.
william A. Van Duzer, director Of
traffic, estimates there will be approx
mately $4,000 untitled cars in the Dis
trict January !, which, under the law,
cannot be operated legally. There have
been reports that the mere filing OF an
application for a title would constitute
compliance with the traflc act, but the
trafic director declared the law clearly
stipulates that no vehicle shall be oper-
ated after January ! unless it has been
titled.
Paragraph D of the traffic act was
cited by Mr.. Van Duzer to contradict
the reports. This paragraph reads in
part:
"The owner Of motor We
hicle or trailer registered in the District
of Columbia shall not, after the lst day
Of January, 1882, operate or permit or
cause to be operated any such vehicle
upon any public highway in the Dis
trict without first obtaining certificate
of title therefor"
Rush Subsidies Somewhat.
The eleventh hour rush for title
certificates which developed yesterday
had subsided somewhat today indi-
eating. Mr.. Van DuZer believes, that
some of the estimated 10000 pro-
crastinating owners have their cars In
storage for the Winter or do not pro-
pose to use them for some time. BY
January 10 he expects to have titles
issued for 10000 vehicles. Approx
mately 100000 of the estimated 10000
In the District have been titled.
Title certificates have been issued
thus far for $4,000 paSsenger-carrying
vehicles, an increase Of 5000 over the
number of 1881 tags issued in January
of this year. Mr Van Duzer believes
this is indicative of an increased regis
tration for 1882.
Motorists whose cars have been titled
will not be required to display 1882
tags before February l. Police Will
be instructed, it was said, not to arrest
drivers with 1881 tags upon exhlbitlon
of the certificate Of title. Motorists
whose title certificates are held by
finance corporations or banks, however,
will be required to satisfy police that
the vehicles have been titled.

Maj. Dawson Says Tube Project
Is Too Far in Future to Permit
Sacrifice of Food Center.

Although fruition of the National
Capital Park and Planning Comms-
sions plans for a tunnel under the Po-
tomac, carrying the Southern Railways
tracks, would probably mean eventually
the removal of track facilities from the
Farmers Market to be established In
the Southwest section, the District

construction OF market sheds, WatcA-
mans quarters, marketmaSter quar-

bounded by Tenth, Eleventh, E ana r

ed to cost about $40, 900.
An appropriation of $3OO,OO 1or Ine
purchase of the site and building ol
the sheds has been available since
July 80, 1880, and the two squares
bounded by Tenth, Eleventh, ana ~

The north square was bought by
private negotiation for $123,5O0 and
the south square, with the exception
of the lot mentioned, for Sl4l, 300. Al
ready SlO,400 has been spent on grad
ing the north lot and about $4,000 in
repairing a building on it to be used as
q repair shop.
Acting Engineer Commissioner DON
aid A Dawson said that if the tunnel
plan is ever carried through, its &C
complishment will be so far in the fu-
ture that it would not be economical
to sacrifice the development of the
Farmers Market meanwhile. Maj. Da-
vison is also an acting member of the

Market.
One group OF citizens wanted the
market In the northeast and another in
the southwest. Congress chose the
southwest, and the northeast group
went ahead and built wholesale prod
uce center near the B. & o. Railroad
tracks at Fourth street and Florida
avenue northeast. The Pennsylvania
Railroad has built wholesalers row
in the southwest, where it has inter-
ests in a refrigerator company and
other concerns.
The congressional decision did not by
any means still the conflict, and recent
ly the Commissioners came in for sharp
criticism for a proposed agreement to
borrow part of the land owned by the
Terminal Refrigerating g. Storage Co..
on the market site until the market
should be increased. AS
a result the company sold to the Com
missioners the property in question.
The price was $4,000, although the con-
demnation jury had fixed the value of
the lot at $1,000.

Rinty was crouched there with

Miss Davis had the surprise OF her

PEACEFUL PARLEY
AIM Of DEMOCRATS
Leaders Confident Raskob
Wet Plan Will Not Trouble
National Committee.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Confident Chairman Raskob has def
nitely abandoned his State liquor con-
troll plan as a Democratic platform
plank, Democratic congressional leaders
believe a harmony session is in sight at
next months National Committee meet
ing
If RaSkob however, does bring up
either this proposition or insist upon a
referendum plank, the congressional
chieftains are just as confident of vot-
ing to refer the whole prohibition ques-
ton to the national convention.
RaSkobS recent declaration, Il
strongly feel the party should take
neither the wet nor the dry side of this
highly controversial question:" is the
basis for the hopes for peace on the
prohibition issue, at least until the con-
Vention.
Meanwhile, the party leaders are de-
voting more and more attention to the
possibilities of the various presidential
potentialitieS. Discussion recently has
centered ON whether Alfred E. Smith
intends to seek denomination.
On that there is much division of
opinion. While many of the congress
Slonal leaders have declared for Gov.
Roosevelt of New York as nominee,
none so far has proposed Smith as
a candidate, and the recent stories that
he might be an active contender again
have caused considerable speculation.
Also, the names of Newton D. Baker
of Ohio and Gov. Ritchie of Maryland
recur regularly in the party conversa-
tions.
Smith has an opportunity to advance
himself at next months party confer
ence. At the Jackson day banquet, to
be held on January 8, the night before
the National Committee meets, he is
one of the three speakers.
Raskob invited the other living
Democratic presidential candidates,
James M. Cox of Ohio and John w.
Davis of New York, to address the
gathering.
