The Budget Bureau yesterday noti-

trates Court system here.
The Commissioners promptly will
send the proposed bill to Congress.
It proposes appointment by the Pres

four magistrates and several alter
mates, who would hold court on GER
tain minor cases at police precinct
stations. The magistrates would be
paid $1,000 year.
The move. sponsored by Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman
and the Commissioners, is designed
to reduce the great mass of minor
cases now congesting the Police Court

The proposed bill had to be sub

but would have gone there anyway
under the new Budget Bureau gag
rule" to ascertain whether it was in
conflict with the policies of the

TRAFFIC SOLUTION
PROPOSALS S|F TED
Representative Carpenter
Flooded With Plans for
Improvement.

A mass Of suggestions for improving
District traffic conditions is being
sifted by Representative Carpenter OF
Kansas, chairman Of the subcom-
nittee on streets and traf1c OF the
House District Committee, while ne
waits an opportunity to study conol-
tions first hand.
The letters contain suggestions Tor
everything from another trafnc light
at the writer's home corner to uni
versal inspection for passenger cars,
as well as trucks and taxis, from
abolishing ticket fixing" to subter-
ranean garages to eliminate con-
Rested parking conditions.
Carpenter explained that many of
the suggestions are constructive and
will be investigated thoroughly, but
only those designed to increase safety
and reduce fatalities and accidents
will be acted upon.
Four Proposals by Hedge.
Four proposals by Edwin S. Hedge,
president of the Chevy Chase Citi-
zens' Association and member of
the District Traffic Advisory Com
mittee, were to eliminate deliveries
by trucks during the rush hours; to
increase police personnel; to require
buses and trucks to travel as close
to the curb as possible, instead OF
in the middle of the street, and to
emphasize on drivers the Importance
OF relative speed.
A speed of 10 miles an hour may
be as dangerous in some zones as 40
miles an hour in others, the test
being the drivers ability to stop
within a limit determined by his
range of vision, Hedge wrote.
One District resident, who had
written to every one he believed might
be concerned, including President
Roosevelt, in his efforts to have a
traffic light installed at Mount
Pleasant and Irving streets, asked
Carpenter to investigate conditions
at that intersection.
Another communication, anonymous
but containing detailed map OF the
Columbia and Ontario roads area,
showed how a few well-placed mo
parking from m-here-to-corner" signs
would reduce traffic hazards by in
creasing motorists range Of vision.
One woman pleaded:
please have some signal lights
that will allow the pedestrian to cross
the street before all the cars in Gods
Kingdom get by
High Garage Cost Denied.
Two garage owners wrote they un-
derstood the subcommittee intended
investigating the high cost of garage
space in the District. and advised
Carpenter there was nothing to it.
One deplored the recent resignation
OF Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Coolidge on the ground that he
would now have to find new tenant
for his garage.
One writer went so far as to Sug.
gest elimination of all day parking or
streets or parking lots in the down.
town district.
Carpenter said his committee prob
ably will get out to conduct survey
the latter part of this week, and will
make several trips. Meanwhile, the
members are making notes of condi-
tions during their daily trips around
the city.

Since all the beach brevitieS are
meant for slim figures, and
bulges cannot be concealed or
constrained, you must exercise.
Swim suits are as good as gym
suits, so frolic through your daily
half dozen.
There is no place to hide hips
and thighs, so pedal your imag1-
nary bike. It's fun in swim suit
and will do more for your figure
in q shorter time than most OF
the new tangled exercises.
Oh, yes! You can do it. Sit
down on the floor with your legs
straight in front, hands flat on
the floor at the sides. Now, foot
first, UP you go until your weight
is resting on shoulders and you
are balanced with your hands. If
you don't quite make it, start
over from a sitting position.
Pedal the air so that hips,
thighs and buttocks are all
brought into vigorous movement.
A good rate of speed hits all the
budges. pedal right on UP to the
moon.
If your thigh muscles need
special discipline, try this: With
legs still in the air in the bicycling
position, do a crisscrosS exercise
with the extended legs. This al
fects thigh hollowS or bulges.
Another variation Of this exer-
else is to shuttle the legs from
the hips, knees straight. AS you
improve your technique, swing the
hips on over and reach for the
floor with your toes to lengthen
and strengthen leg muscles.
If you will pedal your imaginary
bike for just 10 minutes every
morning. you can have your hips
as slim as mermaid'S.
To put the tummy back in place
in no time flat, hang from a
stretching bar. With the palms
of the hands turned forward as
you hang, flex the thighs and
bring alternate knees up to the
chest. Hanging in itself tones the
abdominal muscles, which are fur
Their tonically contracted in flexing
the knee.
To punish a waistline bulge, try
double-leg swinging from side to
side as you hang from the bar.
Localize all movements at the
waistline. Twisting at the waist
from a hanging position is also
extremely effective.
The best play exercise for calf
muscles is with a jump rope.
Learn to skip on your toes and to
swing the rope forward and back
ward for the best action. For
round shoulders, the backward
swing is better.
