state of affairs-not to say a slap

those in charge of Washington

under Mr.. Hoover's guidance for un-
iformity of regulations. Particular
ly obstinate was the former traffic
director-nOw denoted to an assist
ant-abOut the left-hand (rotary)
turn. Visiting motorists were per-
picked by the rule which required
them to turn from the center of the
street intersecting at the right. Not
only that, but local autoists found
that this turn blocked persons
wanting to turn right. Complications
entered because the standard left
turn-from the center of the street
was followed out where there were
no lights or traffic officers. Wash
ington's belated acceptance of the
standard code, it is hoped, will rem
edy the traffic snarls for which the
capital city is infamous.
