ROBIN HOOD
BY JUNIOR
THEATER

robin Hood" as played by
the popular Junior Theater Or
ganization, promises to be a high
light in their present series, when
presented this Saturday morning
and afternoon at the Wardman
Park Theater.
Offered to the Philadelphia
audience on February 81, the
Owen Davis dramatization of the
famous story of Robin Hood and
his merry band Of outlaws,
proved distinct hit, and brought
enthusiasm from the press Of
that city. In fact, no sooner had
the curtain fallen on the stirring
sword fight of act three than
the players were commissioned
to broadcast excerpts from the
play over stations W1P and
WFAM.
1t may we'll be said that
robin Hood" as a play has
everything" There is action, ro-
nance and always super
abundance Of delightful comedy,
packed into three swift-mo7lng
acts. All Of the well-known char
acters of the book are re-created,
giving the play both authenticity
and variety.

motor travel expected during the BIZ

District Of Columbia Division of the
American Automobile Association.
The A. A. A. pointed out that legis-
lation to assure the approach highway

Virginia PIans Ready.

A. A. A., lis now ready to proceed with
construction Of the proposed Lee Boule-
ward from point near Falls Church to
Immediately south Of Fort Myer. It Is
essential that the Federal Government
cooperate by assuring Q right-of-way
skirting the west side Of Fort Myer and

Under o bill introduced by Sena-

curing the driver to show that
he has not driven q motor vehicle
at any time after the revocation
or suspension. Off1cers Of the
California highway patrol have
recently reported having arrested
an increasing number Of youthful
drivers operating cars after their
drivers license has been revoked
Very severe penalties under the
law await the youth who does
this. Heretofore the disposition
of the courts throughout the State
has been to treat the youth le-
niently, charging of a great deal
to his ineXEerience rather than to
class him as malicious offender.
However, where it is now appar-
ent that the youth Is largely re-
SponSible for death and distress
in the motor vehicle accidents he
causes, a more rigid policy to ef-
feet q substantial control Of his
indiScretionS Is in order. Unless
youth can drive his car as pru-
IDENTIFY and as carefully as an
adult he should not be permitted
to drive. This chaStiS06nent he
has definitely brought down upon
himself by his own performance.
It Is now clearly evident that he
Is more than twice as much re-
SponSible for traffic accidents as
older drivers.
Mr.. Eldridge Comments.
Commenting over the last sec
ton, Mr.. Eldridge says:
THE experience which Califor-
MIA has had with youthful drivers
is about the same as our own, ex-
cept that in Washington the dan
gerouS age seems to be between
Is and 81. We have very little
trouble with young drivers be-
tween the ages Of 16 and 10, be-
cause they are operating with the
consent Of their parents or guard
ians, who become responsible for
their actions"
SO 1t would seem that the West
has not got 1t all over the East,
The National Capital, in particu-
lar, stands high on the honor list

PoStponing its monthly meeting

The statement continues:
Into this highway, on Q right-o1-
way wider than has been PROVIDED LOT
any other road leading into Washington,
the roads of Virginia and OF the South

charge q rapidly increasing volume OF
traffic which even now at times over
tasks capacity. When President Hard
ing was returning from the ceremony
at the Grave of the Unknown Soldier
the congestion was so great that he was
compelled to go many miles out OF his
way, returning by the Chain Bridge.
This inadequacy was clearly demon
strated in connection with the recent
February % celebration in Alexandria

Virginia was forced to stop.
"The reason why Virginia stopped at
the west side of Fort Myer Is that the
War Department refused to issue the

When Q citizen goes to bed after q
day Of work and recreation, ne rides
through the night Of sleep ON springs.
At least, this is the usual procedure.
When he takes a ride in his car dur
ing the daytime he Is also riding on
springs. This is one reason why mo-
toring is a pleasure rather than hard

springs, too. but manufacturers OF mo-
tor cars have improved quite consider
ably on this particular part OF vehicle.
Oxeart Period.
Going back to the days Of the old
oxcart, the mediums OF transportation
seem to have been long time without
springs, but In more modern days, even
several centuries ago. vehicles OF almost
every type, except possibly the Wheel
barrow, have been provided with springs.
In the automobile the springs have two
important functions at least. One has
to do with the comfort Of those who
are riding in the car, making 1t possible
for them to stand this kind Of riding,
and the other desirable end served by
springs has to do with the protection
Of the car itself. In other words, with
out springs the automobile would not
only shake the passengers unduly, but
would also shortly ruin the various me-
chanical parts of the car itself by the
excessive vibrations.
There are several variations In auto
mobile springs. For one thing. the size
of the spring, and consequently its
strength. is related to the weight OF the
vehicle itself. It Is necessary to have
a proper balance In this connection, Tor
If the springs are not large enough or
strong enough TO give fun service, as

that is one fault On the other hand.
If they are too large and strong, 50 that
they fail to reduce the vibration as
much Is possible, that Is another kind
Of error.
