a practice is one of the most reckless
nature and is exceedingly dangerous to
those who rightfully believe they EaVe

If motorists cannot abide by Hlis
well-planned regulation the Police DE-
partment should make arrests and the
courts invoke full penalties for viola-'
tions.
Another Bad Habit.
Another habit many motorists have
taken up is the so-called jumping" OF
the yellow traffic light signal. This
practice is equally dangerous The
yellow light or amber signal, as it might
be more POLITICALLY described, is only a
preparatory signal. 1t is to clear the
intersection and by no means should
be construed as the command to
enter it. If the driver is in the inter-
section when the light flashes to yellow
it is perfectly permissible for him to
continue across. If he is approaching
the intersection and the light so
changes he should stop his car imme-
diately behind the cross-walk, or if a
car is ahead of him, stop Immediately
behind the other car.
When the light has been red and the
amber comes on it is again prepara-
tory signal-one to get ready. place the
car in gear. take off the brakes, but not
to start across.
Unfortunately, the violators Of this
ordinance are liable to cause q great
deal of harm. for in breaking the law,
they do it with speed, and therefore are
likely to hit another car with great
impetus.

Auto Sales Improve.
July was another good month IN the
sales of automobiles. Usually dull
by the Bureau of Census Of the Depart
ment of Commerce totaled 233 ,088
vehicles. This number compares with
253, 1922 cars in June of this year, 109, ,143
in July of 1882, and 218,490 in July,
1881.
For the first seven months Of this
year, 1,24C,1 1913 sales are recorded. For
the corresponding time last year only
80,591 were made. America is still
motor minded. For all of 1882 there
were 1,370678 sales. The sale of 130, ,480
in the next five months including
August will tie that record. So It
appears that there is no question that
1888 will far surpass 1882.

BY the Associated Press.
Anger stirred some members of the
Oklahoma congressional delegation yes
terday because Of statement attrib-
uted to Secretary Ickes that the
drought area of the State
should be turned back to the public
domain.
Senator Thomas. Democrat. OF Okla
homa. said the entire delegation would
60 to President Roosevelt next week
for an explanation.
Representative Marland, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma. said Ickes made the
statement in telling him there was no
hope for administration approval OF
any Of the dam projects In the area.
Marland quoted Ickes as saying the
Government contemplated moving 40
900 persons from the area. perhaps to
some point along the All-American
Canal, in California.
Proposal "rreposterous."
"It's preposterous, he added, point
ing out families had lived there and
made their livings for decades and that
the drought was only during the last
two years.
Meanwhile. Representative Johnson.
Democrat, Of Oklahoma. said he took
the matter up with President Roose-
velt yesterday.
The President, he said. assured him
of his esteem for Oklahoma and added
he was certain Ickes had made no such
remark with serious intentions.
Told later, however, OF Ickes' reported
statement to Marland. johnson agreed
the delegation should 60 to the Presi-
dent.
Johnson said: We'll protest vigor-
ously TO the President. Well see Ickes
about it, too. and give him a chance
to tell us that"
Gentleman Feeling Oats"
"It's difficult for me to believe a man
would seriously make such a statement.
It seems the gentleman is feeling his
oats since he came from Chicago TO
Washington. And regardless of what
Mr.. Ickes thinks of Oklahomans, they
compare favorably with his Chicago
machine gunnerS.''
Thomas said: THE delegation will
see the President about this matter
We will try to learn whether turning
land back to the public domain is part
of his policy

FORD TRUCK TAKEN

Notice Believed Mailed Before

trolIer Ruling Waited.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Veterans Administration yester-
day sent formal notice Of acceptance
Of low bid for one truck to the Ford
dealer, whose low figure on 1000 trucks
for the Civilian Conservation Corps may
be rejected because officials do not
deem the maker Of the cars a COM
plant with the N. R. A. code for au-
tomobiles.
The dealer Northwest Motor Co. of
Bethesda, Md. was instructed not to
deliver the Veterans Administration
truck until formal order is sent. but
acceptance of the bid was understood
to mean closing Of the contract.
Veterans officials were cut of reach
yesterday afternoon. but the notiflca-
ton was believed to have been mailed
before the furore of Friday in which
Hugh S. Johnson, the Industrial ADJ
ministrator, declared Ford ineligible for
Government contracts, and presidential
backing for his stand was disclosed
The Presidents view was that under his
own order of last August 10. bids could
be accepted only for products made un-
der affirmative compliance with the ap-
plicable code. and that purchasing
agents should go on this until and un-
less the controller general turned them
down.
Controller Deciding Power.
1t was upon the controller, J. r. Nc
Carl. who frequently has insisted that
contracts be granted to low bidders,
that the Ford agent was described as
basing hopes of still getting the big
