Hungry and penniless, stranded in Seattle on her way from Cali tor1nia to Cordova to join her mother, Helen Hilton, 19, smiled ruefully, as she stood in police Headquarters where she had gone as last resort.

 The boys in the station, a cap tain, sergeant or two and sever al patrolmen, passed the hat and raised enough money to send her back to California and so the trip to Cordova is indefinitely post poned, according to the Alaska Weekly.

800 MILES AN HOUR
HOPED OF NEW RACER
Australian Loaned Engine Of Ire.
mendous Speed by British
Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand.--Norman
(''Wizard'') Smith, racing car builder
of Sydney, Australia, is constructing
a new super-speed giant of the road
in which he declares he will do more
than 300 miles an hour.
Smiths car, which when completed
will cost something like $4,000, will
be powered by new engine which has
been lent him by the British govern
ment on condition that he keep all de-
tails If its construction secret. II VIII
develop twice the power OF the Golden
Arrow used by Segraye.
A feature of the new engine Is a
super charger, running at many thou
sands of revolutions per minute, which
keeps the cylinders full of gas even
at stupendously high speeds. The en-
CINE develops its greatest power at more
than double the revolutions of the ordi-
nary airplane engine.
The new car Is so shaped that very
little wind can get underneath it, and
what little does get there can escape
with ease. The top surface is so shaped
that the wind pressure will hold the
car firmly to the ground instead of
giving the upward thrust Of airplane
design.
Trial performances of this latest
road greyhound will be made on the
New Zealand beach. If they prove
satisfactory, Smith intends to bring
his car 10 the United States.

Auto Parking Lights
No Longer Required
On All ID. C.. Streets
Exception Made When
Illumination Makes Per-
son Visible 200 Feet.

The District Commissioners today
modified the regulation requiring park
ing lights on automobiles by adopting a
traffic regulation stating that the park
ing lights need not be displayed at
nights on streets where there is suffi-
cient electric illumination to reveal any
person for a distance of 200 feet.
The regulation was recommended for
enactment by Traffic Director William
H Harland, who wrote: THE present
parking light regulation requires park
ing lights on all cars left on the streets
at night and was adopted at a time
when most of the streets in the Dis
trict were poorly lighted. Since that
time electric lights have been installed
on most of the main streets through
out the city, and it is believed that l.
is perfectly safe to park cars on all
streets which are electrically lighted.
1.-THE proposed regulation is copied
from the model municipal traffic ordi-
nances prepared by the National Con-
ference on Street and Highway Safety
and is modified to suit local condi-
tons"

OPINION FAVORS
PAPER COMPANY
Justice Holmes Rules Firm Is
Entitled to Recover
100000 Losses.

In the only written opinion handed
down by the Supreme Court yesterday.
Justice Oliver Wendell I-olmes, who will
celebrate his Goth birthday in March,
ruled that the International Paper Co.
is entitled to recover losses on approx
mately 100000 suffered in 1918.
The losses were sustained when the
Government, to promote war industries,

The court decided three other cases
without written opinions. 1t ruled:
Three Gases Decided.
That the present California COM
munity property laws permit husbands
and wives in that State to submit sep
arate Federal income tax returns; that
the North Carolina tax on motor vehi-
cles operated for hire over fixed routes
of more than so miles is valid, and that
a case brought to challenge the Texas
law permitting suits in counties other
than that in which the defendant had
its principal place of business had not
been presented by the Balm Peanut Co.
and others in proper form and must
be dismissed.
Hearing Dates Advanced.
It advanced for hearing on February
"a an appeal challenging the validity Of
changes in the bylaws of the Modern
Woodmen of America, affecting insur-
ance policies, and an appeal to deter
mine the right of States to impose IL
cense taxes on automobiles used by Army
officers stationed on military reserva-
tons.

lowing a collision in Delaware Bay be-
tween one of its pilot boats and the sub
marine LII.
The court announced it would review
case brought by the Georgia Public
Service Commission and others to test
the validity of an order of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission fixing rates

points in that State. 1t also decided to
review an Interstate Commerce Commits

BRITISH OFFER SCORED.
Widespread Condemnation Is Heard in
Nationalist Quarters.

BOMBAY, India, January 20 P).-
Widespread condemnation was heard in
Indian Nationalist quarters today OF the
scheme of Federal India evolved at the
London Round Table Conference and
the British governments prefer Of an
eventual qualified dominion status.
The Bombay Chronicle, Nationalist
organ, said:
"As far as one can see in the wilder
ness of MacDonald'S glib phrases is
that the Labor government intends to
impose upon this country system of
camouf1aged self-government in which
the safeguards for Britain are the prin-
cipal element and the bestowal of gen.
uine responsibility upon the Indian
people a minor item.
"Mr. MacDonald's pompous declara-
.tion of what his government means to
do in shaping a measure for the grant
Of further political advance in India will
cut no ice in this country"
Under the heading, Words, Words,
Words" the paper asked If the premier
was teaching Sunday school or was
talking to a set of responsible men for
India when he made the final confer
ence speech.
Shankarlal Bankar, one Of Mahatma
Gandhi's right-hand men, said: IF the
premier had nothing more to offer the
Indian people at this juncture than
such a feeble empty speech it would
have been far better If he had said
nothing at all, because the people of
India would then have remained calm,
patiently awaiting the outcome of the
present negotiations and discussions.
His speech, barren as it is Of any con-
crete pledge Of genuine self government.
will fill the masses with disappointment
and disgust and lead only to further
unrest"

ACTION
NOW UP TO INDIA
Chances of Nationalist Ac-
ceptance of British Plan
Seem Slim.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 20.-The scene of
midas fight for self government today
shifted back to India, where the Brit
ish government hoped its proffer of
eventual qualified dominion status
would prove acceptable to the millions
who asked outright independence.
The next step in the long process,
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
pointed out in bringing to a close the
round table conference here yesterday,
must be taken by the natives of India
themselves in composing their COM
munal and racial differences SO that
the details may be supplied the skele-
ton federal government scheme evolved
during the two months of work here.
First reports from India of the re-
ception given there to Mr.. MacDonald's
announcement were anything but hope
full of its acceptance by Nationalist ele-
ments. who boycotted the round table
sessions.
Pledge Not Satisfactory.
The promise of self government, with
British reservations and safeguards as
to foreign affairs, finance, defense and
emergency prerogatives of the governor
general, was described as mass of vague
verbiage, high sounding to the I'M
thinking, but far from satisfactory.
There was considerable disappoint-
ment in India, too, that the $4,000
political prisoners there, among them
the Nationalist leader, Mahatma Gand-
hi, were not granted amnesty. The
prime minister promised only that If
the results of round table conference
brought peace and quiet to India the
government would not be slow in recip-
rocation.
Macdonald to See Wellington.
Only a skeletonized federation scheme,
involving a bicameral legislature, was
evolved here. Its details cannot be
supplied until Moslem and Hindu, Sikh,
and high caste and low caste Brahmins
have settled their differences, and when
a constitution finally is evolved it must
receive the Endorsement of Parliament.
1t is believed that nothing more will be
done here until after Mr.. Macdonald
confers with Lord Wilmington, present
governor general of Canada, who will
replace Lord Irwin Soon as viceroy of
India.
