Damages of $6Sl.44 are awarded Mrs. Olive Major of Hamden against August Grues- singer of Waterbury under Q decision of Judge Edward J. Finn in the common pleas court today. In cOmpnentlng on the case, an automobile collision suit, Judge Finn makes some poignant remarks concerning lawful and lawless driving, es- pecialIy in regard to where the doctrine of contributOry negli- gence is concerned.
 He says, "I do not think the doctrine of cOntributOry negli- gence should be extended to force every law-abiding driver to surrender the highway to every lawless driver he happens to meet on the road, or to be held guilty of cOntributory negligence for failing to do 50. Such law would impose 6 pen- alty on careful driving"

 Hara, Ethiopia, Nov. l9-(UP)- The British consul and military attache left for the front today to observe the progress of the Italian campaign in the south.
 The military attache, Capt. R. H. R. Taylor, accompanied by Consul E. A. Chapman Andrews, started for Jigjiga. After conferring there with Ras Nissibu, Ethiopian commander, they hope to proceed to the Daggah- bur front to watch the latest phases of Gen. Rodolfo Graziani's drive.
 Their journey was surrounded by the greatest secrecy, the consul stating only that i've are on the kings business"
 May Be Emperor's Plane
 An Ethiopian plane, the first Harar has seen since hostilities be- gan, flew over the city in the direc- tion of Jigjiga. However, the city was calm, since the population had been warned in advance that the plane would fly over.
 (In view of advices from Addis Ababa, the plane might have been that of Emperor Halle SelaSSie, who has left the capital by plane for a visit to the front lines.)
 Gen. Wahib Pasha, Turkish mili- tary adviser to the Philippians, brought his secretary from Jigjiga today for hospital treatment. Wahib returned to Jigjiga, where it was understood momentous conferences are about to take place.

 He looked over at his old friend and neighbor lying on the grass. Then he pointed his gun at his temple and took his own life.

The health office, he said, is
also continuing to receive reports
of persons who claim to be suffer-
ing from various ailments as a
result of polluted water in the
Southwest and Southeast sections
of the city.
The source of these complaints,
he said, came to light several
weeks ago when a dairy in the
Southeast section was discovered
operating pipes which crossed an
artesian well water supply with
the city water supply. He said the
crossed pipe hazard had been
eliminated, but Investigations of
the complaints were still in prog
ross by the Health and the Water
Departments.
DR.. Rutland said that a number
of persons who complained about
the water supply were found to
be suffering from food poisoning
rather than from the water.

WOMEN VOTERS
FAIL To HALT
MACHINES
County Board Won't Consider
Ordinance Because of Anti
Gambling Law

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
July 13.-An attempt by officers
of the Organized Women Voters
of the county to ban slot machines
in Arlington county was blocked
today by Board Member Christie
pher B. Garrett.
Mr.. Garrett told the women the
county board was not law-enforc-
ment agency and had no time to
discuss such matters.
Immediately after the request
for an audience by Mrs. Jessie
Roberts, resident of the Women
Voters, a board member, Mrs.
Elizabeth Magruder offered a mo-
ton to adopt such an ordinance.
Motion is Withdrew
The motion was withdrawn
after commemorative Attorney
Lawrence Douglas stated that he
did not believe the county board
had the power to adopt it, or that
such an ordinance would do any
good.
Despite the fact that the Alex
andria City Council recently
banned slot machines by adoption
of a city ordinance, Mr.. Douglas
said the only sure method of re-
lief for Arlington county was a
change in the State law by the
General Assembly.
Board member Garrett refused
to consider the motion for an or.
dinance directed at gambling de-
vices on the ground that there
already was a State law prohibit
ing them.
Saw Boy Gambling
Mrs, Rex Hunt, proprietor of a
store in Clarendon, told the board
that only this morning she had
seen evidence of a young boy gam
bling on one of these machines.
Mrs. Magruder and members Of
the Organized Women Voters said
they would continue the fight to
ban slot machines in the county.

Salad Dressing Cited
In Food POisOnings

District Health Officer George
c. Rutland issued a warning to-
day to local residents on the con-
sumption of salads and other
foods prepared with an egg dress
ing" during hot weather. There
were said to be about a dozen such
salad dressings in common use,
chief among them being mayor
naise.
Dr., Rutland advised that such
foods should be kept in a cool
place until consumed. He de-
clared his office had received
numbers of reports of persons
taken sick for food poisoningS
which investigations disclosed
were principally due to eating
foods containing an egg dressing
which had become warm and
spoiled.
Principal violators of this hot
weather health rule, DR.. Rutland
said, were picnickers.

WIPED OUT

A dead-letter regulation which
has been a part of the public util-

Washington since January, 1882,
was wiped out today by an order
of the commission.
The regulation rescinded called
for the placing of meters on all
taxicabs. After it was promul-

tive by riders in the District ap-
preparation bills providing that no
part of public utility funds could
be expended to enforce the meter
regulation on cabs.
Today's order was preliminary
to another order which the COM
mission is preparing and probably
will be completed next week call
ing for the establishment of uni
form zones and rates for taxicabs.

PROJECTS HAVE
WHITE HOUSE
APPROVAL
Virginia Dissatisfied With a
PWA Grant of 7 Millions;
Maryland Funs 0. K.

President Roosevelt today ap.
proved public works grants total
ing $12,599,743 for grade crossing
elimination and highway construc-
ton in the District, Maryland and
Virginia.
Immediately following the an
nouncement of the approval of the
grants, officials of the District and
the two States announced that
they would start work immedi.
ately on plans to rush through
the projects, in order that unem.
ployed men may be placed on the
payrollS without delay.
Virginia Objects
It will be at least a week before
District officials are able to de-
termine what projects may be
undertaken under the regulations
covering the grant, they said.
Virginia officials expressed dis
satisfaction with the amount al.
lotted that State, asserting it Is
inadequate to meet their needs.
The amounts made available by
the President are:
Grade Crossing Elimination
District ............... $41O,804
MARYLAND ...........$2,06 ISL
virginia ..............$ 3,774,287
Highway Construction
D1StrlcC .............. $949, 496

Follow Rigid Rules
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, Dis
trict director of highways, said:
"The rules and regulations
concerning the types of ma.
terialS, employment and nu-
merOus other specific subjects
must be rigidly followed, and
we must study them carefully
before deciding on our pro-
gram"
The State Roads Commission
of Maryland has been busy for
several months drawing up a
program of Embarrassing elm
nation, and is expected to be
ready to start operations within
the next few days.
Immediately following the
school bus crash at Rockville sew
eral weeks ago, in which IA high
school pupils we're killed, the
commission ordered a survey
calling for the elimination of
every crossing in the State, and
engineers have their plans sui"
ficiently completed to start work.
Funds Far Short
Virginia has made no program.
but has number of grade-cross-
ing elimination projects under
consideration, Highway Commits
sioner Henry G. Shirley said to-
day. Expressing disappointment
over the sum available, he said:
"The projects we have in
hand will cost five times as
much as the allotment. How
ever we shall do the best we
can.
II shall study the regulations
with my engineers over the
weekend, and then call in rep
resentatives of the railroads SO
we may determine what are the
most pressing projects, and start
work on them as soon as pos
SibIe.
ITO eliminate all grade cross
ings in the State will cost at
least $4,000, 900, as there are
several hundred bad crossings in
the State, and the elimination
will cost from $4,000 for the
cheapest up to 100000 in some
