of seven months. During this period,
independent of all other changes, the
solar constant varies over a range of
five-t -thousandths of a calorie The
same periodicity is found in the rec
ords for the North Dakota station. The
temperature shows an independent
range of departures from the mean
amounting to slightly over a degree.
This recurs constantly through the 144
months examined.
One Cycle General.
All three stations have the inde-
pendent eight-month cycle. In the
sun there is an eleven-month peri
odicity. It's effects are not found in
Alabama or Washington, but appear as
one of the hidden cycles at the North
Dakota station A solar constant period
of 81 months also drops out in the
Washington records, but appears at the
other two stations.
The amplitudes of the temperature
departures apparently due to solar con-
slant variations are much greater than
those due to terrestrial causes. The
total Of the former amounts to 81 de-
grees at Washington, while the de-
partures due to unknown terrestrial
phenomena only amount to 35 degrees.
Superfcially, it is explained, these
departures may seen small, but they
may be sufficient to account for abnor-
mally hot or cod seasons when it is
considered that they operate inde-
pendently of the position of the earth
with respect to the sun, which is re-
sporsible for the seasons. The discov-
cry is believed to be an important step
toward the ultimate aim of long range
weather forecasting. but, it is empha-
sized, the subject is so intricate and
the relationships so confusing that this
still must be considered long way of.

Bingham Subcommittee Will
Withhold Decision for Com

The District subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee, pro-
sided over by Senator Bingham, Repub-
lican. of Connecticut, today began mark
ing up the changes it will make in the
local appropriation bill for the coming
fiscal year, but none of its decisions will
be made public until the bill has been
acted on by the entire Appropriations
Committee.
The subcommittee spent several hours
this morning considering various sug-
gested amendments. 1t was to continue
its deliberations this afternoon. Chief
interest centerS on what the subcom-
mittee will recommend regarding the
Federal share of District expenses,
which the House is seeking to slash
from the current lump sum of s9500 600
TO $500 000 The House made this
drastic cut in the Federal share after
it had been advocated by the Mapes
Committee.
The subcommittee also has before it
for decision the plea of virtually all Or

If We can give these lads the best
there is in the disciplinary side of
military instruction, feel 1t better fits
them for their work in civil life and
gives them the right point of view in
serving their Government, both in peace
and war. Militarism, improperly ap-
Piled is a very Objectionable thing, but
1t always has seemed to me that the
good soldier of today has simply taken
the place or should take the place of
the knight of old who worked constantly
for the betterment of humanity.
These lads of ours, as they go out,
have. 1 believe, a very wide influence
for good in their own homes and In
their own communities"

Survey Discloses Apartment Sec

Private Residence Areas.

Nearly half of all motor vehicles reg
istered in the District are parked on the
streets all night, according to an ex-
hauStive block-to-block survey by the
Police Department, the results of which
were announced today by Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, superintendent.
The count showed total Of 57,979
cars parked on the streets on the morn
ing of May 25 between l and 6 am,
period which traffic officials believe fur
nishes fairly accurate census of the
all-night parker. The total motor We
hicles registration in the District ap-
proximates 100000.
Survey Is Surprising.
The results of the survey were sur
prising to both police and traffic Of
f1cials, who had estimated that the total
number of all-night parkers would not
exceed $4,000. Contrary to eXpecta-
tiCnS the count also showed there are
no more all-night parkers in sections
where apartment houses are numerous
than in areas where private residences
predominant.
Tabulations of the count, made by
Inspector E. w. Brown, commanding
the Traffic Bureau, according to police
precincts, revealed the largest number
of all-night parkers in the third pre-
cinct. This precinct, which covers the
territory between Fifteenth street and
Rock Creek and Potomac Park ana
Euclid street, reported 9,075 vehicles
marked on the street at the time OF
the count.
The second precinct, with total OF
1855 vehicles, ranked second. The ter
ritorv covered by this precinct Is
bounded by K street on the south,
Euclid street on the north, North Capt.
tol street on the east and Fifteenth
street en- the west.
Figures for Other Areas.
The count in other police precincts
follow:
First, $3.50; fourth, 6,637; fifth, 2.73S;
sixth, 3.2O5; seventh, 1888; eighth,
312l: ninth, $3.50; tenth, 1913, and
eleventh, 1929.
With the information furnished by
the Police Department, the department.
of vehicles and traffic will make fol-
low-up survey to determine whether
there are garages and other off street
parking Accommodations for cars now
parked on the streets all night.
Attaches of the Traffic Department
will survey each block, checking
the ff-street parking accommodations
against the number of cars found In
the block, to ascertain the excess or
shortage of accommodations. Vacant
yards are to be counted, as well as
private and public garages.
The survey of the all-night parking
situation was undertaken as result
of criticism from Congress over the fail
ure of District officials to put a ban
on all-night parking. Traffic officials
have consistently held there are in
sufficient off-street parking accommo-
dations for vehicles now parked on the
streets all night.

TAX|CAB CRUISING
CURB IS SOUGHT
Propose to Permit Cars to
Park in Fire Plug
Areas.
District traffic officials, it was learned

District traffic officials, it was learned
yesterday. have initiated movement to
restrict the cruising of taxicabs with
a hope Of relieving traffic congestion
and at the same time reducing the
mounting number of accidents in which
public vehicles are involved.
One proposal now under considera-
ton by both traffic officials and the
Traffic Advisory Council is the adop-
ton of regulation permitting taxicabs
to park in the existing 2O-foot no.
parking reservations at fire plugs. Fire
Chief George S. Watson however, has
served notice that he would oppose this
plan vigorously.
Required to Remain in Cabs.
Advocates of the fire plug taxi stands
point out that since taxi drivers are
required to remain in their cabs while
parked there would be no delay in
clearing the space around a fire plug
in the event it is needed by fire ap-
paratus. The use of this space. it was
said. would accommodate hundreds of
taXicabs, now cruising the streets in
search of fares.
Even under existing conditions, Fire
Chief Watson told traffic officials, fire
apparatus is handicapped by the small
reservation around fire plugs, and as a
result special coupling must be used
to make connection from the plug to
the engines.
The so-called Hoover highway safety
code, it was explained calls for a 30
foot reservation around fire plugs, but
Washington has been more generous to
the motorists and requires only a 20
foot reservation-10 feet on either side
of the plug
Cruise Many Miles.
Traffic officials who have made a seri-
Gus study of Washington's complicated
taxicab situation. estimate that ap-
proximately SO per cent of the mileage
of the nearly 5000 taxicabs is used in
cruising the streets in quest of fares
A prohibition agains cruising, it was
said, not only would relieve congestion,
but would make operation of cabs more
economical
Some thought also has been given by
traffic officials to plan to permit
motor buses to utilize the fire plug
reservations, thus providing more space
on the streets for parking of private
vehicles. Drivers of the buses. like
taxicab drivers. are required to remain
with the vehicles, it was declared. and
can move the vehicles without delay in
the case of a fire.

DOGS ORDERED MUZZLED
Two Youngsters Bitten by Unre-
strained Animals.

Health Officer William C. Fowler to-
day called to public attention the order
that all dogs must be muzzled or leashed
until the end of September.
The law. DR.. Fowler pointed out re-
qulres that dogs running at large must
be "mulzzled with a muzzle securely put
on to effectually prevent the animal
from swapping or biting" Dogs may be
permitted to go without muzzle. how
ever, he added, "if properly restrained
by leash"
Two 5-year-old children were bitten
by dogs yesterday, one by a dog that
was licensed but net muzzled and the
other by dog that was neither licensed
nor muZZled.
