PRECINCT SPLITTING
AWAITING BUDGET
Plans Virtually Completed for
Making Two Divisions Out
of Second.

Plans to split the second precinct
carrying probably the heaviest burden
IN the Police Department-into two
stations are virtually complete. it was
learned today, but the change hinges
on the next District budget.
Urged for several years by Supt.
e. w. Brown, the division of the pre-.
cinct, which covers a large section of
the downtown area, would result In
taking over the Woman,s Bureau as
No. 2, with the present second pre-
cinct becoming No. 8. The eighth
precinct, located in the upper north
west section, would be known as
No. 13.
The second precinct now leads all
other precincts in the number of calls
and accidents and ranks high in ar
rests.
To pave the way for the change,
funds would have to be made avail
able for remodeling the Woman's Bu-
reau, changing the cell block and in
stalling new telephone connections to
patrol boxes.
If the plans are carried out, the
Woman's Bureau likely would occupy
the Police Court Building, when the
court moves into its new quarters.

LIBRARY BUILDING
SHED FOR CLEANING
Structure in Court Will Shelter
Material to Be Gone Over
Before It Is Moved.

A temporary frame building, now
being constructed in the southwest
court Of the Library of Congress, will
be used to shelter material which must
be cleaned and sorted prior to trans
Ter to the Library Annex, across Sec
ond street. DR.. Herbert Putnam, libra
rian, announced today.
Stored in the cellars, attics and
bookstacks, where it has accumulated
dust. this material, the librarian said,
can be cleaned in the shed without
spreading the refuse to other collec-
tions. The sorting. he pointed out,
probably will enable elimination of a
great deal of matter no longer worthy
of preservation
The Card Division, which is con-
cerned with the custody, distribution
and sale of printed catalogue cards,
will be one of the first transferred to
the annex.
The room now occupied by the Card
Division, one Of the large galleries on
the second floor Of the east front, will
become the "Hispanic room," devoted
to Portuguese and South American
literature.

TRAFFIC SCHOOL
WILL OPEN NOV. Is
Courses Designed to In
struct Policemen in
Modern Methods.

Designed to train Washington po-
licemen in modern methods of ham
ding traffic, accident investigations
and gathering of evidence, the first
Police Traffic School of the metro
politan department will open Novem-
ber Is, Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown
announced yesterday.
Every member of the force of 1900
will be required to take the six-day
course, which will include a dozen
lectures by traffic authorities in and
outside of the Police Department. The
school is modelled after the short
course given at the University Of Mary
land early this fall.
Officers from the radio scout cars
attached to the IL precincts and
Traffic Division radio cars will COM
prise the first class. Then, under
present plans, officers assigned to
traffic work will receive instruction,
Maj. Brown said.
A two-hour examination will be
given at the end of the course. and a
passing grade will be required Of all
officers dealing mainly with traffic con-
troll and investigation.
Maj. Brown expects that, eventually,
preliminary hearings before the corpo-
ration counsel in accident cases will
be eliminated, as result of the
training the officers will receive. At
first, it may also mean more arrests
because Of stricter investigations Of
accidents.
Meanwhile, members of the Cosmo-
politan Club indorsed the policy of
the American Automobile Association
in creating a course of automobile
driving for high school students. The
club pledged its support of the move
ment after hearing a talk by Burton
w. Marsh, director Of the Safety and
Traffic Engineering Department of the
A. A. A. District Motor Club.
Frederick j. Rice, local attorney and
member of the club, suggested that
steps be taken to conduct campaign
of ridicule" against people who violate
the common traffic rules. He prom
1sed to take this matter up with the
club president, Arthur w. Defen-
derfer.

The new levee will run from the
