AT a meeting of group of automo-
bile dealers, held last night In SholPs
Restaurant, 1919 G street, Van Duzer
announced his department is making a
survey to determine what other streets
are best suited for one-way use.
announcement also was made by Van
Duzer's assistant, M. o. Eldridge, that
Fourteenth street traffic will be allowed
40 seconds to pass Thomas circle, while

Fourteenth street, he added, also will
be held up As seconds while traffic
moves through from the other streets
and pedestrians will be allowed 20 sec

be put into effect in about a week
Meanwhile, series of studies made
by the Bureau of Public Roads revealed
that police control of traffic at busy in
tersectlonS during normal hours is
faster than traffic Light control, but no
control at all is even faster.
Peak Period Delay.
Results of the study. confined to
normal street traffic and avoiding the
rush hours, were reported to the High
way Research Board of the National
Research Council today by E. H.
Holmes, highway economist
His studies, conducted at Seventeenth
street and Constitution avenue, through
series OF 10-hour days, showed there
is more delay in two hours of the peak
periods of traffic than during the
remaining eight hours of normal
activity.
The element of safety was not in
cluded in the studies, but the fastest
movement at the intersection came
when there was neither policeman nor
traffic lights on duty.

boycott, Representative Cochran said:
"Distillers who have been selling
whisky to retail drug stores to be re-
sold on prescriptions have advanced
their price over 100 per cent since the
passage of the law in the last session
which enabled. physician to write a
prescription for an unlimited amount.
Blended whisky Is now available to
druggists, and I have been informed
that 16-year-old whisky is now being
sold by wholesalers to the druggists
for $65 case. This $65 whisky was
available for as low as $50 a case, IL
quarts, last June, and the price was in
creased weekly.
Treasury Department will take that
will prevent the robbing of the public.
Such proflteering should be condemned
by all and the way to meet the situa-
ton Is for the public to refuse to pur-
chase whisky at such prices.
Chemists in the Bureau of Industrial
Alcohol advise me that the best whisky
available today did not cost more than
SO cents gallon to make. 1t Is true
1t has been in warehouses all these
years and has been an expense in
carrying insurance and SO forth, but
with the Government tax still $1.10,
there is no justification for such prices
Those of us who have been fighting
all these years for the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment had in mind
the destruction of the bootlegging traf-
nc, but such prices as are now being
charged will only perpetuate the boot
logger in business. DR.. Doran, former
head of the Bureau of Industrial Alco-
hol, advised me that with a joint tax,
Government and State, of IS q gallon,
there was no reason why the best of
whisky could not be sold for $1.50 a
quart. Today learned from the drug
stores that whisky that was sold on
prescriptions last week for SITS q
quart is now $5.75 a quart.
Raps Maryland Price.
Even at this price, it is below the
price asked in nearby Maryland. The
tariff on whisky is IS gallon. Still at
this tax, foreign liquor is advertised for
sale at less than the domestic product
that is paying but $l.10 a gallon to the
Government.
"Distillers and holders of whisky are
going to find that while they might
feather their nests for the time being
py charging such outrageous prices, in
the END some way is going to be found
TO place whisky within the reach of

tnat now prevailing is necessary in

WHISTLES ON STARLINGS' TAILS
NEWEST PLAN FOR RIDDANCE

flight, their speed in the air sets up a
chorus from the whistles.
"The whistles are fastened on with q
little bamboo peg" Attache Arnold
wrote, Slipped through hole in a
strip Of bamboo inserted between the
center feathers of the birds tail"
Tradition says the custom began to
scare away hawks, Arnold reported, and
another story said the whistles were
used to identify the different flocks of
pigeons-each with differently toned
whistle.
Idea Gratis.
But be that as it may, Croghan says
that If the whistles will scare away the
hawks, surely when starting un-
suspectingly hears the shrill piping OF
the whistle behind him, he will prob
ably just keep on flying, being too
scared to ever stop.
And that's Croghan's idea. Brighten
the pests so badly, they win simply fly
away. All you have to do is catch the
starring first. A sort of bell the cat
process. Croghan admits, but here l.
the idea, gratis.

Somewhere" said Paul j. Crcghan,

sthere Is a solution to this starting

where, but I'll find out"
That was several weeks ago and today
Mr.. Croghan was rewarded.
FROM far away Shanghai, word came

As the Washington Office of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation went
forward with thorough analysis of its
relief accomplishments for distressed
home owners, described by both local
and Federal officers of the corporation
as far from satisfactory, the headquar-
ters Office made public figures showing
the local Office has completed only 81
loans out Of more than 5000 applica-
tions since it has been in operation.
1t has, however, approved 878 appli-
cations. and Of these 127 are on their
way through the final stages toward
completion. The total amount involved
in loans completed is $290,3 in 4 pei
cent bonds Of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, and 1851 in cash.
Applications Of l4os persons were re-
jected by the washington Office after
appraisal. In this group, it was pointed
out, are included those on which the
office was unable to make loans because
of unwillingness Of mortgages to ac-
cept bonds of the corporation. More
than 2,400 applications we're rejected
because the cases did not come within
the provisions of the act.
The Federal Office of the corporation
revealed the State of Ohio tops the list
Of loans made with a total of 2,537
Grouped with the District of Columbia

Delaware, 81; Arizona, 46; Nevada, 46
and Maine, 20.
Paul J. Frizzell, manager of the local
branch, said he is proceeding with a
thorough study Of all cases turned
down by his office, so that he will be
prepared to answer criticisms leveled at
the agency because Of its failure to COM
plete more loans
Frizzell. who yesterday joined with
John H. Fahey, chairman of the Home
Loan Bank Board, in condemning the
attitude taken by some mortgage hold
ers against acceptance Of the corpora
tion's bonds, said today he regretted
that those who were cooperating with
the corporation had to be tarred with
the same brush as those who were not. "
He said his Office was receiving CO.
operation from many insurance COM
panies and from some of the building
and loan groups, as well as number
Of individual investors.
Meanwhile, Alfred Noakes, whose
home the corporation is willing to re-
finance, but cannot do SO because a
holder Of first mortgage notes will not
accept the corporations bonds, was
notified yesterday that his home would
be sold at public auction without
