In addition to the young "ambas-
sadors of safety" in the National Cap
ital. said the A. A. A., some $50 patrol
members will function in nearby Viz
ginia and Maryland.
Following the program of previous
years" said Ernest N Smith, execu-
tive vice president of the A. A. A,
"l3 police officers will be assigned to
supervise patrol activities by the
Metropolitan Police Department
Throughout the school year these off,
GERS work with the young patrolmen
and give them effective training in
future citizenship, as well as in their
immediate work of safeguarding their
schoolmates.
The child accident and fatality
record in the National Capital has
been exceptional during the last eight
years. and with increased interest in
traffic safety, it will not be surprising
to see the school patrols again lead
ing the way to new heights of achieve
ment in the reduction of fatalities and
accidents involving children. In fact,
if the adult safety record in Wash
ington was comparable to that made
by children, the District of Columbia
would be one of the safest places for
motorists and pedestrians in the

Women in Motordom.
Everybody knows that the plumber
of women drivers is fast reaching
parity with the total of men devotees
of the wheel and open road. but few,
indeed, realize that women are play
ing an increasingly important prac-
tical role in motordom.
The keystone Automobile Club
points out that l9 American women
are employed as mechanics in repair
shops; that nearly 500 women are
employed as operatives in the Nations
petroleum refineries; that nearly TO-
900 women hold jobs as operatives in
automobile factories; approximately
21,000 women are employed in rubber
and tire plants; 422 women may be
listed as garage owners, managers
and officials; l57 as garage laborers;
1,500 as chauffeurs, truck and tractor
drivers, and At women are working as
laborers in street and highway repair
or building work.
In addition, nearly 500 women
qualify as owners or managers of
truck, transfer and taxicab COM
panieS.
The Keystone Automobile Clubs
statement concludes:
ut is apparent from occupation
statistics that American women are
having considerably more to do with
automobiles these days than simply
to drive them. They are making i'm
portant contributions in virtually
every branch of the automobile in
dustry; far more, as a matter Of fact,
than most persons realize until they
are familiar with the actual statistics

Mapping to Be Completed.

During the nearly $50 years OF the
existence of the United States as a
Nation the Federal Government never
has completed the mapping of the
country. For some sections Of the
Nation the best available maps are
commercially prepared automobile
maps, which are only approximately
accurate. Some very important
flights, including the recent trans
continental cruise of the u. S. S.
Macon, have been based on naviga-
ton worked out on these highway
maps. with the resulting discovery
that such important features as
mountains in some cases were several
miles out of position. For the mo-
torist this would be unimportant, but
to the aviator, in thick weather, it
might mean death.
Now the Public Works Administra-
ton has come to the rescue Of those
who fly and, for the first time in
its history, the United States is to
be completely mapped. Allotment OF
| $508,0 of P. w. A. funds has been
made to the Bureau of Air Com
merce of the Commerce Department
with which to complete the master
series of aviation maps.
The series of maps was authorized
under the air commerce act of 1926
but, owing to limited appropriations
only 81 of the 81 maps which viii
compose the whole series have beer
completed. At the prevailing sppro.
priation rates the series would moi
have been completed with 10 years.
Great Areas Unmapped.
Under the P. w A. allotment tht
work will be pressed forward as rapidly
as surveys can be completed on tht
ground and from the air. The map
so far completed include portions o
the two main transcontinental ali
routes and portions Of the coasta
routes, leaving great areas in all sec
tions of the country unmapped.
Completion of the map series, tn
P. w. A. announced, was approved
unanimously by the Interdepartmenta
Advisory Committee on Aviation a
being Immediately desirable and nee
essary in conformance with nationa
aviation policy.
Five new airplanes are to be pur
chased out of the fund and pilot
assigned to fight checking duty il
connection with the mapping pro
gram. 1t is estimated that Is month
will be required for the work.
THE 81 units which will be in
cluded in the sectional airways serie
will represent the first comprehensive
detailed map Of the United State
ever published" it was explained b.
Rex Martin, acting director of al
commerce in the absence of Eugen
L. Vidal, now in South America. M
such map has been produced in Isl
years, since the Federal Government
was established, and it is especial,
interesting to know that the tasl
now is being accomplished by svia

The Gas Price War.
Speaking of battles and wars, an in
teresting conflict was waged in WASH
ington last week. This conflict was a
gasoline price war Many motorists
hope it will continue for it has been
many a day since one could hand out
dollar bill, get five gallons OF gas and
a whole lot of change.
While the public looked on with ap-
proval many wondered just what
caused the fight between the various
oil companies. A story, not confirmed,
is given in explanation. It IS stated
various fleet owners compel their
drivers to obtain their gasoline at a
particular company's chain OF filing
stations.
In return, it is said, the owners OF
automobile operators get a discount
from the particular company dealt
with. It is not always rebate, for In
manv cases the drivers pay for their
own gas.
Now, naturally, the oil companies
not in on the deal are irked. They
have lost large list of customers. So,
in revenge, the story goes, they have
retaliated by lowering the cost OF
gasoline.
The explanation cannot be vouched
| for, but it seems to be likely.
Auto Sales Increase.
According to the figures of the Bu-
reau of the Census of the Department
! of Commerce, the total sales of auto
mobiles during the first seven months
falls less than 10000 short of the g.
900 600 mark Last year at the same
time it was little more than 100000
short of that figure. AS a matter oi
fact the total sales for 1888 was 8O,-
| 900 short of 100000.
July sales, according to the report
was 266,575 as against 229,357 II

that eventually there may be con-

The date Of the meet has been left

Board the Board of PRINCIPALS would
not have voted to discontinue the

had not entered into the discussion.
A tense moment occurred when
Gilligan interrupted Quinn's cross
examination of Alexander Cohen,
Tech player. to caution the student
to take his time in answering.
Questions Whispers.

perintendent in charge OF research.
just then turned and whispered to
the person next to her.
Gilligan leaped to his feet and ad-
vanced rapidly toward her. inquiring,
Were you talking about me?" Miss
La Sale frowned and hurriedly re-
piled mo, wasn't talking about
you"
A humorous incident took place
near the beginning of the hearing
About 100 students had crowded into
the room or were standing in the
corridors.
Quinn moved that those present
without permission of their principals
be ordered pack to their classes. DR.
johnson gave the order and not stu

TRANSMITS HELD
IN ROBBERY CASE
Lodger Accuses Trio of
Beating and Leaving Him
on Virginia Road.

Three dodgers at the District Tran
sient Bureau are under arrest on
complaint of q fourth that he was
taken to Virginia, beaten, robbed and
dumped out near Falls Church last
night. The men held for investiga-
ton are Marshall J. Hogan, 81; Rob-
ert Clarke, Is, and Ernest Hamstack.
~. The complainant is Paul Prende-
gast, 28, of Sacramento, Calf.
Prendegast reported at police head
quarters last night that while he was
probably drunk" yesterday he had
been robbed Of $l2.70 and his hon.
orable discharge from the Army.
Then. he said. the three men took him
in q Transient Bureau truck to Vir-
ginia, beat him and dumped him out,
leaving him to find his way back to
Washington as best he could. The
three were arrested by Policemen E.
J. Coutere and H. A. Mattney of the
Traffic Bureau.
Arthur S. Rosichan. director Of the
bureau, said today that when tran
sients living at the various Transient
Bureau lodges get drunk, the practice
Is for the truck to round them up
and bring them to Transient Bureau
headquarters, at John Marshall place
and c street, in an effort to sober
them up without letting them get
into the hands of the police. He said
that on some previous occasions he
had heard complaints that drunken
transients had been carted out OF
town and dumped on the road.
II thought I had stopped that" he
said, but I will certainly look into
this matter at once 1t Is hard to
know what to do with these men in
all cases. They obtain a shot OF
bay rum for nickel or dime and
then they are quite hard to handle
That is no reason for dumping them
on Virginia roadways, however"
He said the truck Is driven by a
transient who Is working for his keep
and carries crew of other tranSients
all engaged on their work project
In another case reported to police
today, John F. Reinburg, 229 Ninth
street southeast. said he had been in
vited by a party of two men and three
women to take q ride to Virginia
road house in, Arlington County. He
said he imbibed a highball, hooker
of whiskey and some beer, and that
the party Of five departed with his
automobile, which he would like to
get back. He said he did not know
who his companions were.
