REROUTED TRAFFIC
IS UNITED SLOWLY
Some Gains Made, but Nor
NAL Movement Is Month
Away.

Downtown traffic, despite some i'm
provement, still moved at snail's pace
today as a result of re-routing and con-
struction work, and is not expected to
reach normal for month, Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer pre-
dicted this morning.
Street cars, some of which ran as
far as 81 minutes behind schedule
yesterday, were speeding up as motor
men became accustomed to their new
runs and the public became familiar
with the new transfer points and load
ing platforms. Cars ran from minute
or two behind to a maximum Of II
minutes behind today.
With resetting of traffic lights to
provide additional time at certain in
tersections, and changes in loading
platforms to permit more cars to be
loaded at the same time, further i'm
provement is looked for.
Normal conditions cannot be ex-
pected, however, until the construction
work on Fourteenth street between
New York avenue and H street is COM
pleted. About $50 men are still at
work repaving the street after the track
changes made Sunday.
Fourteenth Street Changes.
Several changes in traffic lights will
be put in effect during the next few
days, Van Duzer said. More time will
be allowed for north-south traffic on
Fourteenth street and westbound cars
on Pennsylvania avenue will turn
north on Fourteenth on the red light
to prevent congestion of westbound
vehicle traffic.
A new traffic light will be in work.

Several changes in the position and
size of loading platforms will be ef-
fected Immediately to provide addi-

Incognito Jaunts Start Guessing
 Contests
By MILTON BRONNER
 NEA Service Stan Correspondent

London, Jan. 16.-Englands Pub l,c Mystery No. I-that's King Leo- bold III, ruler of the Belgians.
 He is the center of Q guessing game which has been brought about by the fact that in the last two months he thrice has made tncog" nito visits to Britain.
 He was attended by no retinue. He was met by no deputations from the Belgian embassy. And, small as the island is, he just disappeared about his own affairs and was not heard of again until he was back in Brussels.
 There were three chief guesses as to his purpose in coming to Eng land so frequently:
 ITO have a famous plastic slr- geon treat the scars on his lace, incurred in the fatal accident in Switzerland last August when his wife, Queen Astrid, was killed. King George v of England to help
 2-That he came to influence bring about peace between Italy and Ethiopia.
 3-That he came over to have a good rest.
 The last time King Leopold came to England was just after the Christmas holidays. His surgeon, Sir Harold Gillies, was out of town. So the visit cannot have been for the purpose of securing further sur- gical treatment.
 Then some pumped for the idea

dessert apple but the commissioner feels that growers who planted this variety with the expectation that the demand for good eating apples at five cents each would keep pace with the increased supply will be faced with the necessity of having them used for good old Connecticut apple sauce, apple pie or other cul- mary dishes for which use they are well suited.
 The survey shows that the prin- cipal commercial apple belt lies in New Haven county and southern Hartford county. There are 20 or chards in the state having 5000 or more trees. Seven are located in Hartford county and the same num- Der in New Haven. Litchfleld coun- ty has two in this classification while all the other counties with the exception of Holland have one.
 Growers now have refrigerated apple storage facilities capable of taking care of more than half Q million bushels at one time. More than half of this capacity is repre- sented by storages owned by grow CTS while the remainder is made up from public storage space and that maintained by wholesalers.
 Copies of Bulletin No. 37 entitled ''The Connecticut Apple Industry" may be secured by writing to the State Department of Agriculture at Hartford, Connecticut.

.M'INTOSH KING
 OF STATE APPLES
Baldwins Second and De- licious Third in Official
 Rankings

Hartford, Jan. 16-Consumers will find cheerful reading in the facts concerning the Connecticut apple industry issued by the State Depart ment of Agriculture as @ result of an EZRA. orchard survey. How ever, producers particularly those who guessed wrong-will find con- siderable food for thought and per- haps pessimism, for indications are that the high-priced Connecticut Mcintosh of few years ago may be 8 sweet memory never to return.
 Mcintosh apples are by fer the most popular variety in Connecticut to-day. The survey of commercial orchards shows that during the past ten years practically 38 per cent of all plantings have been confined to this one variety. Baldwins are sec ond with 16 per cent of the total plantings while Delicious are given third place with 10 per cent. Fifty per cent of the total Mcintosh trees are under ten years of age which indicates large increase in pro- duction of this variety in the next few years.
 Returns from 1879 commerciaiap- pie growers showed a total of AGO. AS trees of which 162,048 were un- der ten years of age and considered non- bearing. Baldwins still lead in the total number of bearing trees. However, in the age classification from 10 to 19 years, the lead over Mcintosh is practically negligible.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Ol- colt F. King, in issuing the bulletin indicates that the figures conclu- siyely point to Q more abundant supply of Connecticut Mcintosh for some years to come. Mcintosh have been considered a highly desirable

England Buzzes With Wonder Over Belgian
 Kings Mystery Visits; PeaceIde Discounted
Not Rest Cure, His Activity
 Indicates

that the two kings might be bet- ter peacemakers than the states men.
 But what knocks that theory out is that King George and family have been up north at Sandring- ham for the holidays, while King Leopold got out his train the last time at Tonbridge, in south England.
 Furthermore, King George, being a constitutional monarch, could not and would not interfere in the for- eign policies of his country. Those matters are for his ministers 70 handle.
 Remains the third theory, that Leopold came to England for a rest. That Is hardly deemed tenable, however. No one, not even Q tired king, crosses the stormy English channel or the North sea in winter three times for Q rest.
 The seeker after quiet could get 1t better by avoiding the sea cross ing and staying on his own side or the water.
 And there are plenty of lovely estates in Belgium where the king would be Q most welcome guest.
 So the visits to England, espe- cially this one during the holiday season, still remain unsolved and will probably remain 50 until the king himself chooses to let the pun- lie in on his secret.

HUNTING LICENSE
 HASNEW CLAUSE
Permit Training of Dogs Eliminates Aps
 Applying for Forms

Hartford, Jan. 16-State hunting licenses for 1936 will be found to bear new clause permitting license purchasers to train hunting dogs in the field during Q limited period outside regular hunting seasons, the State Board of Fisheries and Game announced to-day.
 All town clerks have been sup piled with the new licenses and hunters are urged by the board to i'll out annual reports of game taken during the past hunting sea- son when purchasing licenses for the current year.
 The clause, . new regulation Of the board, states that the licensec, in addition to being permitted to hunt, lis also permitted to train dogs from sunrise to sunset between September 1st and April 1st sub- ject to regulations governing the training of dogs"
 The new regulation eliminates for the first time the hitherto necessary procedure on the part of hunters of writing the board for dog training permit application forms, the mail- ing of the forms by the board, the return of tho filled in forms by ap- plicants, and then the mailing of the formal training permits.
 Including the dog training per- mission in hunting license certif- icates is expected to prove a great convenience to sportsmen and will save the board over 4,000 pieces of correspondence on the subject an- nually. In the past 6 majority of owners of hunting dogs in the state have applied for the permits.
 The board to-day also points out Q new law which extends the ice fishing season this year to February g, inclusive.
