+ The District is carrying an increased
and increasing burden in providing
school facilities for the rapidly grow

share of these costs
The secrecy surrounding the District

Arm Signals Urged
For Motorists.

CAPT. MILTON D. SMITH of the
Police Traffic Bureau is an ad-
vocate of return of the arm signals
which were required of the drivers Of
motor vehicles some years ago. Capt
Smiths many years experience as a
traffic officer should qualify him to
speak as an expert as to the value of
these signals as safety measures.
Some Of the older drivers give these
signals mechanically through force Of
habit and such drivers thus give in
slant notice to drivers following or
approaching. Many drivers change
direction or stop suddenly without
any sign Of warning save that of the
stop light. The stop light helps some
but does not serve the purpose of
properly given arm signals.
The original signals we're:
l. For left turn, extend the arm
straight out.
2. For right turn, extend arm out
forearm upward
3. For stopping. arm out, wave
slowly up and down.
Some drivers hang their arm out
continually, and others give confusing
motions as they shake the ashes from
cigar or cigarette. 1t may be these
one-arm drivers are responsible for
the discarding of the arm signals, but
there are many students of our traffic
problems who would like to see these
"old-fashioned" signals given a new
trial, with view to reducing our
accidents.
Capt. Smith says he hopes to con-
vince the Traffic Advisory Council and
others that the use of these signals
will have a tendency to aid in the
movement of traffic.

TANGIBLE legislative results
have not been much in evil
dence during the week for the
u voteleSs and unrepreSented
District OF Columbia. The high spot
has been the hearing. before the Judi
ciary Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee, on the proposed
amendments to the code regarding di-
vorces At this writing it is not known
whether the bill will be reported to
the full committee or not. The chair
man Of the subcommittee opposes the
bill which has passed the Senate and
is approved by the District Commits
sioners, the Bar Association and In
principle by the Federation Of Citi-
Zens' Associations. Two members OF
the subcommittee. the only ones at
tending besides the chairman, favor
reporting the bill, but the action Of
the chairman in declaring the meet
ing adjourned before vote was
reached has given a parliamentary
twist which will require the full COM
mittee to unwind.
Another Senate bill which has been
before this same subcommittee since
early in the session IS 398), to
strengthen the gambling laws of the
District, has not been acted upon.
There has never been a hearing on
this bill and the chairman has here
tofore explained that the bill would
not be considered until the Crime
Committee had reported. The chair
man has recently been quoted as ex-
pressing the opinion that there would
be no action on the gambling bill this
session.
The Senate District Committee has
been waiting on the final action of
the conferees on the national social
security legislation before completing
its report on the proposed old-age pen
sion and unemployment insurance
laws for the District. The Senate
committee is inclined to have the local
law harmonic with the national law
and also to meet the objections to the
local bills raised by the Commissioners
and by the local civic and business
organizati tons.
The commercial airport for Wash
ington continues to be the subject Of
discussion in congressional circles
with the present indication that the
matter will be settled for the time
being by the relocation Of Military
road where 1t runs through Hoover
Field.
The crime report continues to hold
special civic interest. A motion to
reconsider was adopted by the House
District Committee in a movement
seeking to eliminate the recon-
mendation for the removal from office
of the United States district attor-
ney. There has been no further con-
sideration of the report, which, like
Mahomet's coffin, continues to be
suspended between earth and Heaven

so many years ago. This line would
start at Dumbarton avenue and WIS
consin avenue, east on Dumbarton to
Twenty eighth street. north to P

south to Fourth street to K street,
west on K to Fifth, north on Filth

This proposal is now pending before
the Public Utilities Commission, where
the procedure will be far simpler than
the course which the rail cross-town
line would have been compelled to
take. All rail extensions or route
changes before the creation OF the
Public Utilities Commission required
the approval by Congress, specifying
in minutest detail just what changes
were to be made. Such legislation was
in the form of amendments TO the
company charter.

INACTIVE SEASON
FOR TRADE BODIES
NOW UNDER WAY
Presence of Congress Leads
TO Extended Work by
Committees.

Activities Of all of Washington's So
called trade bodies are undergoing the
marked deceleration which occurs an
nually about this time OF the year.
Many persons have left the city for
the Summer, handicapping the work
Of committees, and number OF
groups will not meet until Fall.
Continuance In session OF Congress
has tended TO Offset somewhat the
usual Summer inactivity, particularly
for the Board Of Trade and Merchants
and Manufacturers Association. which
are particularly interested In much
pending and proposed legislation.
Stores Close.
The principal occurrence OF the
week OF purely local interest among
the organizations was the closing yes
terday OF many Of the larger downtown
stores. a custom which will be followed
every Saturday during July and Au-
gust. This allows employees a double
holiday over the week end. The clos
ing was organized by the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association.
The Greater National Capital Com
mittee has received a report from Los
Angeles showing that $4,000 persons
OF that city witnessed the film, Wash

ACTION is SOUGHT
ON PETWORTH SITE
Citizens Write Letter to Push
Recreation Plan on
Upshur Street.

Early action in the establishment
of an educational, recreational ana
administrative center at Fourteenth
and Upshur streets was urged on the
District Commissioners by the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association and other
civic organizations last week. This
site is the present location Of the
tuberculosis Hospital, which is NOV
ing to Glenn Dale, Nd, in September
1886
Letters requesting action on this
matter were sent to the Commission
ers. Board of Education and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission urging joint conference
with view of joining in recon-
mendation to Congress for the estab-
lishment of the proposed center.
1t was pointed out in the letter
that when the idea was first pre-
sented last Winter the Commissioners,
through the secretary of the board,
stated it would receive careful con-
sideration"; the Board of Education
directed its Committee on Buildings,
grounds and Equipment to discuss
with the Commissioners the future use
of this area, and the members Of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission visited the area for q like
purpose. For these reasons the asso-
Citations hope this action may be en-
bodied in a recommendation to Con-
gress in the next budget.
The project has been aggressively
pursued and Endorsed by the fedora
ton and has been aided by the follow
ing associations: Piney Branch Citi-
zens' Association, Petworth Citizens
Association, Takoma Park, Md. c.,
Citizens Association. Manor Park
Citizens Association, Chillum Heights
Association. Brightwood Citizens As

rates to be set up as we'll as the loca-

is also wide difference Of opinion as
to the actual authority Of the COM
mission to effectively settle the mat
ter because of the restrictions i'm
posed by riders carried on the Dis
trict appropriation bill as well as
court decision.
The legislation appears to require
the establishment Of uniform rates
and to prohibit the commission from
requiring the installation Of meters.
The court decision appears to be to
the effect that a zone system is in
equitable and discriminatory.
During the recent taxicab strike
there was every indication that Con-
gress held the commission responsible
for the situation. Some members OF
Congress at the time pointed out the
commission had been stripped OF It's
authority by Congress when 1t should
have really been given broader powers

poorly drawn and indicates its author
was not familiar with the laws and
regulations governing the licensing OF
public vehicles.
Peoples Counsel Roberts considers
this hearing q most important one.
In preparation for 1t he some time
ago sent out a letter to all OF the
civic bodies asking that they appoint
special delegates to make a study
of the taxicab question and be pre-
pared to present their ideas to the
commission. Up to Wednesday eve
ming the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation is the only one SO far to
respond with definite suggestions. The
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton has expressed its approval OF
existing rates and the Rhode Island
Avenue Citizens Association has dealt
with the matter in a general way.
Roberts expresses the hope that dele
cations from the various associations
will attend the hearings and present
definite suggestions.
Some Of the closest students OF the
problem of taxicab rates declare their
belief that a low metered rate Is
the fairest method, both to the rider
and the taxicab owners. Careful
studies, it Is understood, have been
made with meters on cabs which
have been operating under the zone
system. While these studies in most
instances show an increase in the
earnings of the taxicabs, they also
show, through the equalizing of the
charges by meter, that many trips
cost less by meter than by the zone
rate which was paid.
Many of the civic-minded express
the opinion that the control of the
taxicabs and the fixing of rates should
be given to the Utilities Commission,
with any added power required to
properly handle the matter. If Con-
gress is going to handle this question,
through appropriation bill riders or
otherwise, the opinion is expressed
that the commission should be re-
lieved entirely of its limited authority
and its broad responsibility and Con-
gress should exercise complete au-
thority and assume full responsibility.
Some of these citizens say they con-
slider the taxicab situation here has
for too long q period been a sorrowful
joke.

Proposed Cross Town
Bus Line.

FOR many years there was insistent
citizen demand for a cross-town
car line. but it was never possible to
select street upon which there was
not raised serious objection to the lay
ing of tracks. Petitioners as a rule
were anxious for the line but insisted
they be assured it would not occupy
their street. So nothing ever came of
these efforts to tie the Georgetown
section and the eastern section by way
of an intermediate route well above
the old business section.
1t recently has been proposed by
President Hanna of the Capital Tran
sit Co. to establish q cross-town bus
line which would approximately cover
