flying boat with a specially picked
crew to bring us direct from South
ampton across Europe and the Medi-
terranean and Egypt direct to the
jungle. With stops only at Rome,
Alexandria, Khartoum and Kisumu
for sleep, and intermediate pauses at
Marseille, Athens, Cairo and Malkal
for fuel, we made the long hop in
four days with great comfort and a
greater sense of security than I have
ever experienced in the air.
I am told that English travellers
demand comfort in lieu of speed, but
with tail wind We flew at 200 miles
per hour for three hours across the
Mediterranean from Athens to Alex
andria and at nearly the same speed
up the entire length of Egypt.
We did, however, almost lose one Of
our plane crew to the crocodiles when
he slipped from a refueling boat into
the Nile. Unable to swim, he was res
cued by Soudanese blacks in a native
dhow, pretty much the worse for wear
in his fright and his struggle against
the swift and muddy current.
Over strip Of Belgian Kongo which
We crossed near the border OF Uganda,
we sighted two large herds of ele-
plants, feeding in the lush papyrus
swamps. The obliging pilot dropped
down to within 200 feet OF them and
circled three times, enabling us to
make some splendid photographs.
There were four record-size fuckers
among them and the two herds num-
bered at least 500. There were quite
number of babies, some not more
than few days old, and their mothers
charged at us furiously Alone among
the elephants was magnificent wa
terbuck, with perfect horns and head,
who stood stock still and surveyed us
proudly and without apparent alarm,
There were also large herds of gi-
raffe, ostrich, zebra, wildebeest and ga
zelle, and we sighted many floundering
hippos in the Uganda and Kenya lakes
and rivers. At Nairobi, which Is a
hourishing and quite modern city, we
sailed straight over the backs of wilde
beest and zebra to make our landing
at the municipal airport.

CITIZENS CONSIDER
new CONSTITUTION
Rules Of Order Draw Complaints
and Need of Sergeant at Arms
Is Stressed.

Proposed changes in the constitu-
ton of the Conduit Road Citizens
Association are being studied by a
special committee appointed by
Charles E S. Rich, president, and
will be brought before the aSsocia-
ton for consideration at the next
meeting.
The present constitution is about 10
years old, having been revised once
since the association was organized.
20 years ago. Several changes have
been made since then, however, and
members of the association feel it
should be revised to bring it up to
date and make it more workable. The
committee IS composed of Grady P.
Oakley. chairman; Ernest S. Hobb. NJ.
A. Jutin. Mrs. j. w. Roberts and Mrs.
Joseph Lyddane.
Among the proposed changes be-
ing considered by the committee Is
one submitted by Albert Lyman sug-
gesting that the association not hold
its parliamentary proceedings under
Roberts Rules of Order, as pro-
'4ACA Al tilC pACoCnt COilobleuLlOil, Uut
that it should make its own rules.
Lyman's chief complaint against Rob-
erts' rules is that they do not allow
debate on a motion to table. Several
times recently resolutions and pro-
posals sponsored by Lyman have been
killed by this method.
Another suggested change offered at
the last meeting was that the Office
of sergeant at arms be added. The
duties Of this officer would be to keep
order at meetings and other functions
Of the association and to see that
only paid-up members of the associa-
ton voted
President Rich has suggested that
the method Of setting up Nominat-
ing Committee be changed. At pres
ent this committee is appointed by the
president. and Rich points out the
possibility of president appoint
ing a biased committee which could
impede progress of nominations of
some candidates. He proposed that
the president could nominate members
Of the Nominating Committee, which
then would be voted upon by the full
association or that members of the
committee could be elected by mem
bers.

SPECIAL STREETS
RGEDEORTRUCKS
Trinidad Member Favors
Use of Block Light Traffic
System.

Two citizens associations are making
q study Of possible remedies to aid
In bettering the traffic conditions In
Washington.
The Summit Park group will make
q study of q plan to establish COM
mercial streets for trucks during the
rush hours. The suggestion was made
at Its meeting Tuesday night by q
minor District official in an off-the-
record" talk.
The speaker told the citizens If the
commercial vehicles were forced to
use certain streets during the rush
hours 1t would give the motorists
going to and from work streets un.
hampered by the trucks. When you
find traflc "tied up," he continued,
you usually find truck is at the
head Of the line holding it up.
1t is believed. he said, If the de-
partment stores and trucking con-
Germs would agree to the plan either
the Police Department OF the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic could
easily arrange 1t.
william Smith, president of the
Summit Park Citizens Association,
said that the group would study the
plan until next meeting and probably
offer a resolution indorsing it.
The use Of the block system" for
traffic lights, as used in New York,
will be urged by John Thomas of
the Trinidad Citizens Association at
its next meeting. Thomas said he
believed the system would aid in elm
mating "trafic Jams" during the rush
hours.

evils attendant upon race track
gambling. AS described recently by
a Star staff correspondent, pres
ent-day conditions in Rhode Island
are strikingly similar to those so
graphically described by the Ten
nessee court.
The federation's opposition TO
this legislation has been supported
by the action Of every one Of its
constituent bodies holding a meet
ing since the last federation meet
ing.
Strong opposition is promised by
members Of the House District
Committee, and Senator Arthur
Capper Of Kansas has promised TO
do his utmost to prevent the enact
ment of the race track gambling
bill. 1t was largely through the ef-
forts Of Senator Capper that a
similar bill failed to pass the Sen
ate after its passage by the House.
Very little local sentiment has de-
veloped in support of this measure,
and such support has been chiefly
confined to those who would ex-
pect to reap a temporary benefit
from the building operations Incl
dent to the establishment of such
race track here. In most quar-
ters the opinion seems to prevail
that the same reasons which in
1908 prompted the outlawing of
race track gambling in the Dis
trick, exist with equal force today

CITIZENS TO WORK
FOR TRAFFIC LIGHT
Hold That Vehicle Count at
Park Road Was Made
in Lax Period.

The Park View Citizens Association
will press demands upon the traffic
director for the installation of traffic
signals at intersections in the COM
munity termed dangerous to pc
destrian and autoist alike" The street
functions listed are Park road at
Georgia avenue, Park road at Sher-
man avenue and Park place at Park
road.
Lights Refused.
Pointing out the repeated efforts
of the association to obtain the ap-
proval of Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer in remedying the situation,
B. ]. GROCER. vice president of the
group. declared that Van Duzer in
formed the citizens that a traffic
count had been taken at the Georgia
and Sherman avenue intersections
and that the number of vehicles ira
versing the points was not sufficient
to warrant signal installations. OBJ
lection to the departments count was
expressed by the citizens, who allege
the tabulation was taken during lax
traffic periods. A recount, therefore,
is urged to be made during the spe-
cific hours of to $50 am. and
again from 4 to pm
Further hazards adding to the con-
gestion around the Georgia avenue
and Park road area were described
by John S. Cole, secretary Of the
organization and resident of the COM
munity for many years. Cole decried
the interference in the flow of traffic
along the avenue in the middle of
the block north of Park road caused
by q parking lot which accommo-
dates patrons of the Park View Mar
ket across the street. He declared
that automobiles are continually ne
slowing the avenue traffic stream, If
not actually blocking the thorough
fare. Double parking of service trucks
In front Of a laundry in the same
block located on the west side of
Georgia avenue was also pointed out
as a hazard.
Policeman Helpful.
The station of a. police officer in
the middle Of the disputed block is
considered helpful" but mot enough"
to handle the Park road intersection
proper"
Protected solely by stop signs at
the intersection of Sherman avenue at
Park road and Park road at Park
place, the citizens emphasize the fact
that these signs must take care Of
traffic "as heavy as any thoroughfare
Of the same size" and, In the case Of
the latter, endangered by a 30-mile
speed limit.
The Park View group proposes to
place the matter personally before
Mr.. Van Duzer.
