/ WAY TRAFFIC
FOR I'D St.

In an effort to relieve conges-
ton in the Potomac Park area
during the morning and after
noon rush hours, Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer today
ordered Twenty-second Street be-
tween Virginia and Massachusetts,
Avenues made a one-way highway
beginning 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
This will provide Government
workers employed in the Navy De-
partment, Munitions Building
and temporary buildings of other
Government departments in the
section a quick exit from the cen
ter Of the city. The new regula-
ton is also expected to relieve
much of the motor traffic on Six
tenth, Fifteenth and Thirteenth
Streets, the latter now being the
only one-way traffic lane running
north and south.
The thoroughfare will be one
way on south-bound traffic from
8 to $50 a. m. and will be one
way for north-bound traffic from
4 to 6 p. m.
Florida Avenue between Massa-
chusetts Avenue and R Street
also will be one-way in the same
direction and during the same
hours to relieve congestion at the
"bottleneck" intersection at Mas
Sachusetts Avenue. South-bound
traffic in the evening will be re-
routed over R Street and directed
around Sheridan Circle.
Parking, now prohibited on the
west side of Twenty-second Street,
will also be banned on the east
side of the street during the rush
hours.

WOMAN PLEADS
SUIT, WINS

Appearing as her own counsel,
Georgia M. Spruill today won an
award of approximately $4,000
through a decision of the District
Court of Appeals.
The Appellate Court, in the
main, confirmed a District Su-
preme Court decision in which the
woman sued William T. Ballard
and Abram r. Server, as trustees,
and Harriet T. Server on a claim
the trustees conducted an i'm
proper foreclosure sale of a home
she owned on Iowa Circle North
west to protect $4,000 mortgage.
The lower court credited her
with $3.50 for rentals, $500 for a
payment in an attempt to repur-
chase the property, and $4,000
punitive damages.
The Appellate Court affirmed
these credits, but cut the punitive
damages to $1,000.

Says:

The director Of the San Fran
cisco Mint reports a record
breaking year at "coining
money" Say, who do you
have to see to start a mint?
They say that the Govern
ment manufactures its own
currency to insure us that we
will get good money Yeah,
but they don't insure us getting
enough Of it.
It seems such a waste Of time
to bother putting "eagles" on
the coins The money flies,
anyway.
With the present high price
of bullion" even the prOspec.
tive bridegroom no longer looks
for the girl who is worth her
weight in gold"
so REMEMBER
The mint makes it first
It's up to you to make it last.

BANK ASSURED.

USTREETS
Suit Involving U. S. Savings
Delays Treasury's Efforts
to Provide Relief

Establishment of a bank at
Fourteenth and U Streets, N. W.,
in the near future appeared a Ger.
tainty today.
Since the collapse of the United
States Savings Bank merchants
and residents of the section have
repeatedly complained to the
Treasury Department of the hard
ships resulting from the loss Of
a financial institution in their i'm
mediate vicinity.
It was stated by merchants re-
Gently that the nearest bank is
located 20 blocks away, and that
as a result of this situation there
has ensued substantial loss in
business.
Plans Drafted
It was learned at the Treasury
Department today that every eff
fort is being made to arrange for
the opening of a branch bank in
the vicinity of Fourteenth and U
Streets, N. w.
In fact, were it not involved
in a legal suit the United States
Bank would be authorized to open
Immediately as the branch of
some downtown bank, according
to an official spokesman for the
Treasury Department.
Treasury officials do not deem
it feasible to open separate and
distinct bank other than the
United States Savings Bank, on
the ground that such action
would depreciate the value of the
present building, and thus result
in some loss to depositors who
depend in part for dividends on
the sale of the building, or rev.
enue from its rent.
Suit Causes Delay
Until settlement of the suit
brought against Treasury officials
by Col. Wade Cooper, former
president of the United States
Savings Bank, no action will be
taken for opening the bank as a
branch. Colonel Cooper's suit,
which in effect, alleges that the
bank should be turned over to
the control of its former presi-
dent, is scheduled to be heard
this fall.
Treasury officials point out
that they could not authorize es-
tablishment of branch bank at
Fourteenth and U Streets N. w.
until they know the outcome of
the suit. They are in no position
to grant lease for use of the
since it is involved in
the suit, they said.
