on an entirely new factor in motoring
- the tremendous importance Of a
restful ride to the driver Of an auto

keeps our minds more alert. helps us
to avoid accidents, and helps to main
tain the efficiency which is so impor-

Great athletes have long known the
value Of rest. They know rest pro-
duces greater efficiency and steadier
nerves TO win important contests. The
same is true with all of US. Rest is a
big factor in our daily lives-particu-
larly when we are behind the wheel
of motor car.
DR.. Ryan's tests showed that, of
the five competitive makes of cars
tested. one was far more restful
than the others-that it produced
from Al per cent to 50 per cent less

"I don't want my boy to have q
record" Mrs. Morely quoted Hughes
as saying. "You shouldn't want your
boy to have either"
Detective Maghan told her later,
she said, that he was not q Mason.
Does that matter In the District
Of Columbian" inquired Schultz. "As
O member Of several fraternal organ
izations, I feel sure that the Masonic
order never would permit Mr.. Hughes
to use 1t for such purpose. It is un-
fortunate such an order should have
such persons as Mr.. Hughes In It,"
Tells Of Conference.
Mrs. Moreley also told Of q con-
'rence In the United States attor-
ney's office where she was given the
impression that Kindleberger would
fix" the charge. She declarSd, how
ever, her son had been indicted and
the case against the Hughes boy was
ignored.

fourth precinct, who followed Mrs.
Morely on the witness stand, describ-
ed how he had cleaned UP" his ter
ritory after taking command three
years ago.

on gambling houses" said Capt. Sui
livan, some Of my boys 60 around
and an accident like brick happens
to hit the door or window. and they
leave.
They're mighty nice about getting
out Of the fourth precinct when we
invite them to. Where they 60, don't
know. But they don't stay in the
fourth"
Capt. Sullivan explained that
picketing and harassing gambling
places will always close them up,
even if evidence for arrests Is not
procured.
Capt. Sullivan advocated decentral-
ization of the Traffic Bureau and as
signment of motor cycle officers to
precincts. and repeal of section 205 of
the District Code, requiring filing OF
formal charges within six hours from
the time Of demand. Similar recon-
mendations were made to the COM
mittee earlier by Capt. Edward J..
Kelly Of the third precinct.

Charges Against Maghan.
Detective Maghan, in his efforts to
act as Judge and jury" In the case,
Mrs. Morely charged, not only tried
to get her to pay for the goods stolen
from a store in the case in which
her son was not involved, but took
steps to prevent her from appearing
before the Crime Committee.
When Maghan came to her house
in an effort to persuade her to pay
SGT for the goods taken from the
store, Mrs. Morely said she drove
him out and told him that instead of
trying to solve the case he was busy"
