Mrs. Daniel |. Sultan
Recalls the Exploits
OfPioneer Americans
Interest of Wife of New
Engineer Commissioner
Centers in Family.

There, is nothing I can tell about
myself that would be interesting"
modestly declared Mrs. Sultan, wife
of Col. Daniel l. Su8tan, the new
Engineer Commissioner for the Dis
trict of Columbia, when she was
asked to tell about her achievements.
Her pride is centered in her family.
And her interest and imagination is
captured much more by the tales OF
the young rugged America told by
her father and his friends at their
home at West Point than by her social
life. AS a little girl she would steal
downstairs when the men would
reminisce and hide behind the sofa
to listen. Fascinating tales of ad-
venture. of hardships, of suffering
were told in these gatherings. And
these she remembers and tells In
her rich, glowing voice, which i'm
parts her enthusiasm to her listeners.
Her pride in her family is justi-
fable. Her father was Lieut.. Charles
Braden, who fought at Little Big
Horn with Custer in his campaign
against the Sioux Indians. One
morning after a hard night of sem
tinel duty he was sent out to scout.
From the bushes whizzed a bullet
which hit him in the hip, shattering
his bone. His companions refused
to leave him. Together they waited
ready to take their own lives if aid
did not come before the Indians tried
to take them. Help came from the

UnlicensedDriuersG Get Setback M City Court Judge McGrath Hands Down Important Ruling
 Actual instruction Demanded By Law
 From Licensed Occupant of Car

The fact that, a licensed driver is in the front seat with him does not excuse an unlicensed driver unless he is actually under instruc- tion, 1t was decided in police court in an interesting decision by Judge John F. McGrath this morning. AS a result, Joseph Rabbit, l9. of 15S Woodbine street, was found guilty of operating car without a license and fined $10 and costs.
 A car owned and driven by Bab- bitt, who had no license, was in- volved in a serious accident on East Main street Sunday night. in which three cars were involved. When police arrived at the scene Babbitt said that he was operating under the instruction of passen- ger, Michael Dervis, who did have a license.
 Yesterday Dervis reported that he had not been giving Rabbit driving instruction and the youth was placed under arrest and charged with the motor vehicle law violation.
 It was testified this morning that Rabbit had driven the car frequently before, with one witt ness claiming that it had been op- erated during the summer when 1t had not even been registered with the motor vehicle depart- ment.
 Judge McGrath's decision is an important, one. for there has been considerable dispute about drivers under instruction. A good portion of the public has been given to believe that 1t is not necessary to have a drivers license if there is a licensed driver riding in the front seat.
