TRAFFIC LIGHTS
 ON GOLD MOVED
Placed in Center of Street to Better Protect
 Those Coasting

The red light system on Gold Street warning traffic of the pres ence of coasters there, will be inn proved at once, it was announced today by G. A. Getchell, Chief of Police. Complaint was recently made by the Chamber of Com merce that most of the lights were installed in such manner as to be invisible to motorists.
 The lights will be moved today and suspended from overhead in the center of Gold Street at its intersection with other streets. From that point they will be dis cernible from all directions and any motorist running through the lights will be punished" said Chief Gett- chell.
 He has also requested residents ot Gold Street, accustomed to parking their automobiles on the street, to use the side streets for this purpose. This, he said, would add greatly to the protection of those using the street for coast ing.

 The finale of the first part was Dixie" with a difficult dance by the clogging chorus.
 Second Part
 The Gold Dust Twins came to life in the opening of the second part. Kenneth Keller and Bob Turner, appearing as the two well known household characters. doing a pantcmime and eccentric clog and tap dancing, interspersed with hand springs and other funny bus mess. They had to do it the sec ond time.
 Walter Scott proved he is a singer and earned an encore by his selection in a clear voice, Carry Me Back to Old Virginia. " The Boys Quartette again came out of the circle and gave Swing Low Sweet Chariot"
 Milo Peterson pulled out a har- monica and astonished his aud fence with cleverly doing "Old Kentucky Home accompanied by Lloyd Jarman.

Notwithstanding the robust nature and athletic ability displayed, the three boys, in short breaths, did the song again to an insistent demand of the audience and re- peated the eccentric foot and leg movements.
 AS a goodbye the entire com pany gave a song finale. 7 Carol Robertson had the difficult part of pianist acconipanist, but her work was like that of a pro- fessional musician.
 Before the show started and between the two parts, the au- dance was entertained by selec- tions by the Senior Orchestra of the school, under the able direction of Miss Pauline Reinhart.

 The two parts of the minstrel show lasted just about an hour and half and everything moved fast during that time. Every joke dance, chorus singing, each indi- vidual number and the other turns went over excellently and all elic- tied much applause and encores were the thing.
 One White Face Ted Hunsbedt the interlocutor, the only white face among the dark circle, kept everything nov ing and made his announcements in a clear, distinct voice.
 The end men, the necessary funmakers of a minstrel show got off some new wise cracks and when Bill Friend sprung some of his jokes it made veteran Dolly Gray, sitting in the first row in the auditorium, humble himself be- fore real kid minstrel punster. Clyde Bolyan was the other end man and his stuff was also right up to date. Their makeup and costumes were of the real profes- sional standard.
 "Old Man River" was sung by Clarence Converse, assisted by the entire company and he got big hand. Jack Kearney, Jr., follow ing in the footsteps of his dad, cid a solo tap dance that went over big and he was forced to do it twice. g
 Sleepy Time
 Milo Peterson put over When It's Sleepy Time Down South" in excellent manner, assisted by the entire bunch in the chorus.
 Then the quartette appeared Brice Howard, Frank Foster Bob Henning and Joe Romunseth-and they can warble some. They made a splendid impression with Ken lucky Babe"
 Then after the end men did some joking, Joe Homunseth sang the bass solo, 'sOld Black Joe" with chorus accompaniment. and was required to respond to an encore.
 Harmonica Duet
 Romunseth is versatile, for he came right back with Brice How ard and they slipped across a harmonica duet which took the audience by surprise and which insisted on more.
 Bob Henning appeared as a solo ist, with good effect, in 'Dinah," "

HINES GIVES PLAN
FOR SCHOOL TERM
Board Secretary Tells Radio
Audience Preparations
for Opening.

Plans for the opening Of the public
schools a week from tomorrow, and the
outlook of the school system for the
new year were discussed last night by
Harry o. Hine, secretary Of the Board
of Education, in a radio address over
Station WMAL, under Chamber OF
Commerce auspices.
Citing the new Theodore Roosevelt
High School, which will be opened for
the first time this year, Mr. Hine said
that while this $1,500,00O structure was
by far the major development in school
building progress, other school build
ing activities we're equally important to
their respective communities.
The Phoebe Hearst elementary
School, an eight-room extensible build
ing, at Thirty-seventh and Tilden
streets, which will be put into service
for the first time on opening day, will
afford school house facilities to the sur
rounding rapidly growing neighborhood.
An addition to the Hine Junior High
School and similar annex to the Tow
ers School will increase accommoda-
tions in the Southeast section.
Building contemplated in the near
future, he said, include the new ele-
mentary school at FoXhall Village and
the new William Howard Taft Junior
High School, in the Woodbridge -Langdon
section of Northeast Washington, and
the new Keene School building. Addi-
tions to existing buildings which will
increase their efficiency will include
those at the Harrison, Giddings and the
Douglas Simmons Schools.

ITALY APPARENTLY
TIRED OF LEAGUE
Significance Seen in Choice
of AIoiSi as Head of Dele
cation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, September 10.-Another pos
sible indication that Italy is dissatis-
fed with her relations in the League Of
Nations was unoff1cially seen tonight in
the appointment of Baron Pompeo
Aloisi as head of the italian delegation
to this Autumn's assembly of the
League.
Baron Aloisi is chief of the cabinet
in the foreign ministry, ranking below
the foreign secretary, Pulvio Survitch.
The premier himself holds the foreign
portfolio, having succeeded Dino Gran
di. who was made Ambassador to the
Court of st. James.
Unofficial commentators looked upon
the appointment as intended to show
Premier MuSSolini's dissatisfaction with
results obtained in the League and in
League conferences.
The steadily diminishing esteem in
which the League has held Italy, as
indicated in press and public utter
ances," was also usof6cially regarded
as a factor, since the baron probably
will be outranked by many delegates Of
other nations, however able he may be.
Withdrawal Signs Lack.
There was no indication. however,
that Italy was contemplating early
withdrawal from the League, but there
have been several indications that she
Is much dissatisfied.
The Grand Council of Fascism at its
last session announced that when 1t
meets again in october it will con
slider Italy's status in the League"
There was some speculation as to
whether the Duce planned to break his
long custom and again go abroad, ap-
pearing before the League for one day
for an address. Most Fascists, however,
consider this unlikely, and government
sources were the authority for the
statement that there was nothing to
indicate break in tradition that Mus
solini should remain at home as a mat
ter of dignity and to avoid needless
danger.
Augusta Rosso. the newly appointed
Ambassador to the United States, was
named a member of the commission,
and will delay his departure for America
to attend the Autumn meeting OF the
Assembly.
Famed in World War.
Aloisi gained fame during the World
War when he engineered and super
intended a secret safe-blowing job IN
Zurich, Switzerland and thereby OBJ
tained a complete list of enemy spies
operating in Italy.
That exploit was prompted by the
explosion of the Italian dreadnaught
Leonardo da Vinci in Taranto Harbor
in 1917.
The baron stood guard outside the
Austrian consulate while two fellow
countrymen, expert safe openers. prob
ably released from prison for the oc-
casion, worked on the safe inside. The
documents thus obtained and sent to
Italy proved of immense value.
Italy's new League representative was
O. former naval officer, who holds an
Ambassadors rank in the diplomatic
service. He is popularity known in Italy
as "uomo di fegato," which means a
man Of liver" or "a man OF great
valor."
The italian delegation will consist
Of 10 members.

HOPEFUL
OF TAXI SOLUTIONS.
Location and Number of
Stands Expected to Be De-
cided by Commission.

Washington's taxicab industry is look
ing forward to a new deal' from the
public hearings which start tomorrow
before the Public Utilities Commission.
Specifically, the subject is the location
and number of taxicab stands, but a
number of related subjects are expected
to come up for discussion.
There are now about $50 hack stands
in Washington. This is a number ad-
justed to the days before the event of
the present flood of cabs, and certain
sections of the cab industry will ask
for at least $500 stands.
The question of location will bring in
its train the often fought battle of the
hotel concessions, and those concerns
which do not have rental rights in front
OF hotels will endeavor to have public
stands at all hotel entrances.
Parking Near Fire Plugs.
Another of the problems is the ques-
tion Of allowing taXicabS to park next
to fire plugs. This is urged on the
ground that since the regulations COM
pei the taxi driver on a stand to stay
within five feet of his cab, the prac-
tice would be no hindrance to fire
fighting, since the cabman would always
get his cab out of the way before the
fire engines get there.
There is also a move on for call boxes
on public space, to be rented to cabs on
some sort of an assessment basis by the
Government.
The hearing became necessary be-
cause the license act Of July l trans
ferred control of hack stands from
the District Commissioners to the Joint
board, which is a body consisting of
the Commissioners sitting with the
Public Utilities Commission. each mem
Der having one vote. Shortly after
the act was passed, the joint board
issued an order preserving the old
hackstand locations but decided to at
tack the problem in its entirety as soon
as possible. In the past, new hack
stands have been designated from time
to time as conditions seemed to war
rant, and rather haphazard system
has grown up.
Record to Be Studied.
The hearing will be conducted by
the Public Utilities Commission. but
the record will be studied by the Joint
board and the orders to follow will be
made by that board.
There are now 3,170 taxicabs regis
tered in the District, and although this
is a substantial reduction from the
number previous to last July, it is still
far above the number of cabs regis
tered in the days when 750 hackStandS
were considered sufficient. The re-
duction in the number of hackers in
July was occasioned by the increase
in the fees for the two necessary
permits from Sc to $34. Previous to
the effective date Of the registration
Of title act, January /. the estimates
Of the number of cabs on the street
were unreliable, but it Is thought that
there were more than 5000 cabs ply
ing the streets.
