Cooke and Courtney bow1ed their postponed match on Sunday after noon and Cooke took two games, the first by one pin and the other by three pins.
 Cooke has only to win two of his remaining six games while his closest opponent is taking nine games to be sure of first place. while there are seven teams fighting hard for the other two choice spots in the standing.
 Arrangements are now being completed for the annual bowling banquet which will take place on Saturday evening, April II. From all indications, one of the best af- fairs in bowling history is in store for the bowlers.

This confidence is based mainly upon the showing of Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer. sensational recruits who are expected to win regular berths on the St Louis pitching staff. Street already has one of the strong est staffs in the league with Grimes, HaiIahan, Haines, Johnson, Rhem and Lindsey as his "big six". If Dean and Derringer live up to their training camp promise, Streets big problem will be. making use of all his talent.

The wreck of the ancient galleon
Florencia, flagship of the Spanish ar
mada, covered with the silt of CEN
turies and so feet under water in Tober-
mory Bay, in Scotland, may soon yield
its secrets to twentieth century iuge-
nuity, Simon Lake, famous subm-.- inc
builder and inventor, said last night ct
= dinner at the Hotel Madison, In this
city.
MIR. Lake, who is co-sponsor with
Capt. H. H. Railey of the Lake-Railey
Lusitania expedition, which is expected
to start active work on February / on
the wreck of. the Lusitania, spoke at an
informal private gathering of men who
are to participate in the salvaging work
and who are interested In this pioneer
ing effort.
If this work proves to be as "easy as
Lake predicted. the steel tube which
is expected to be the principal means Of
effecting the salvage operations may be
used to assist in the exploration Of the
F1orencia.
Anxious to Test Tube.
In explaining the operation of his
steel tube and what the Lusitania expe-
dition hopes to accomplish, Mr.. Lake
revealed that he had already received
communications from the representa-
tive of the Duke of Argyle whose family
has owned the wreck Of the Florencia
for centuries.
Many diving operations have been at
tempeted in the past on the old flag
ship and although the hulk lies only
about 80 yards from shore, none OF the
salvage expeditions have proved sue
cessful because of the silt with which
the galleon Is covered.
| Since ordinary diving operations have
proved unsuccessful, the Duke of Argyle

Lakes tube can do. the inventor said.

Declares Left Turn
Really Is Big Help
To the EDITOR Of The star:

40 the Editcr OF Inc star:
In the last Fridays edition Of The
Star there was published q letter writ
ten in a rather humorous vein by Mr..
Lawrence d. Batson In explanation Of
the new left turn.
Unlike Mr.. BatSon, my experience has
been that the new method Of making q
left turn really expedites traffic. have
watched tratiic at street Intersections
closely since the new regulation went
into effect and while I have witnessed
few mix-ups evidently due to ir1isun-
Outstanding of the rules, traffic on the
whole seems to move faster and with
fewer tie-ups at intersections.
AS stated in my letter anent the new
left turn, my understanding was that
through traffic not within the intersec-
ton Is required to give way to vehicles
within the intersection waiting to COM
plete left turn. My purpose in writ
ing the The Star in the first place was
to help make this clear to those who
seemed unable to understand this part
OF the new regulation. And really
there are still so many Of them that
something should be done about 1t.
The rotary turn may have been
somewhat safer, but it certainly was
slower and helped create tie-ups at in
tersections. If and when this regulation
can be made entirely clear to all motor
lists and those who must enforce it,
believe the traffic problem in WASH
ington viii be considerably lessened.

modification Of the plans for the
beautiful bridge which Is rapidly near
ing completion and which Is the cul-
nlination Of plans that were long in
the making. Costing more than four
teen million dollars and secured by the
National Capital after years OF effort
in the halls of Congress, the Arlington
Memorial Bridge should not undergo
any modification because of its proX-
unity to Washington's lone airport. Far
better to remove the airport If neces-
sary than to change the design of this
monumental structure.
OF course, when the bridge was first
planned there was probably no idea
that washington's then small and in
adequate airport would carry the huge
volume of business that 1t does today
and that it would become one of the
focal points for sky travel in the East.
But those who have taken charge of
the airport ard made it such an i'm
portant landing field knew when they
did so that the Arlington Memorial
Bridge was to rise almost beside it.
Illumination of the columns will I'M
doubtedly add to the beauty of the
bridge, and with the progress that has
been made by electrical engineers in
the past few years in the adequate
lighting of structures which are near
many of the airports of the country, it
should not be a difhcult task. No one
can doubt the necessity for such nlu-
ninaticn and Col. Grant aad the ayia-
ton groups can probably begin at once
to work out an acceptable plan.

Mourn Litter
OF Careless Citizens.
Irish Independent, Dublin.-The
practice of littering the streets with
papers, fruit-peels, cigarettes and match
boxes, ETC., is again becoming very
prevalent, and an appeal is made to the
public to put a stop to 1t, and to have
the wire receptacles provided in the
streets utilized.
Although the Dublin Corporation has
a patrol staff of ~ men specially en-
ployed in collecting litter in the main
thoroughfareS with three men specially
engaged in OConnell street and branch
Streets, the results of their efforts to
keep the streets clean and tidy are not
satisfactory. Visitors form bad i'm
preston owing to the prevalence of litter
of all kinds in our streets.
Parents in the home, teachers in the
schools, and the heads of boys and girls
organizations can do much to promote
a civic spirit in the young, and inculcate
habits of order and tidiness.

at the northeastern section OF the gen.
eral area will be the new home OF the
Post ONCE Department, which VIII re-
place the granite structure now stand
ing Just to the east.
Shortly following the beginning OF
this excavation work will come the dig
ging Of the foundation hole for the
Department Of Justice, on the area
bounded by Pennsylvania and Consti-
tuition avenues and Ninth and Tenth
streets. Already shovel work is under
way to the east, in preparation for the
Hall Of Archives.
Thus In a very short time the dirt
will be flying on four different sites, in
preparation for constructions that in
the aggregate will cost upward Of
S42, 800, 900. This group, comprising four
distinct structures-saye that the Post
once will be physically united on the
east with the Labor-I Interstate Com
merce edifice-will be the largest adj
dition to the Government establishment

before has Washington seen so huge an

of steam shovels, the largest known in

OF the Government construction work,

ton Of the countrys need for a max
imum of employment of its people.
Perhaps before any Of these struc-
lures now about to take form reach the

In some manner not yet determined

No time is set for the probable COM

great group within the triangle. The
work thus far done has been satisfac-
torily prompt in execution. There are
no serious difficulties in the way of
construction. In the present develop
ment Of the building art foundations are
quickly obtained There is no conges-
ton OF orders in the mills which pro-
duce structural materials. There is no
shortage of labor. There should be no
