passenger cars and motor cycles. the
Legislature set the limit for passenger
buses at fifty miles an hour, for trucks at
forty-f1ve miles an hour and for school
buses at thirty-five miles an hour. These
limits for the various classes of vehicles
are expected to and no doubt will pro-
mote safety and facilitate the flow OF
trafhc If adequately enforced.
Enactment of the new law followed a
recommendation of the Governors Leg
islative Advisory Council, which made a
study of Virginia statutes to discover
which needed overhauling. The neces-
sity for a definite speeding law was
found to be most urgent.
1t is obvious that modern traffic prob
lens cannot be solved alone by legisla-
ton, but IN Virginia, and perhaps in
other jurisdictions, legislation may prove
to be the first step toward improvement.
The Old Dominion is to be commended
for making what appears to be progress
sive statutory enactment. 1t should not
hesitate to make further changes in the
law books If the results are not as sue
cessful as anticipated.

Virginia Speed Laws.

Next month Virginia will place in
effect new speed law setting specific
limits for passenger cars, trucks and
buses.
For years the maximum speed limit
on highways of the Old Dominion has
been forty-flve miles an hour-at least
in theory. Actually, under the present
law, a speed of more than forty-five
miles an hour is prima facie evidence of
reckless driving and two convictions for
reckless driving automatically call for
revocation Of an operators license.
This unusual situation has been held
Objectionable on the ground that drivers
summoned to court for speeding have to
be convicted or acquitted of reckless
driving.
Although the new statute raises the
limit for passenger cars and motor cycles
from forty-five to fifty-five miles an
hour. the move is expected to aid ma.
terially in the fight against highway
fatalities.
In addition to defining the limits for

Summer Music.

Not since the summer of 1886 have
the melodies Of the masters floated from
the Arlington Memorial Bridge Water
Gate across the moonlit Potomac or up
ward to the silent nocturnal grandeur
of the Lincoln Memorial.
1t is with real pleasure that Wash
ingtonians should greet the news that
the evening summer concerts will be
resumed probably in early July. Like
the Hollywood Bowl concerts under
starry California skies, the programs of
music played by the National Symphony
Orchestra by the tapping river should
be a part of the cultural. civic and
social life of the city in which they
are given.
The proposition by which the musi-
clans will be in band shell on a barge
instead OF on permanent platform
is also happy one. There is some-
thing more romantic. sentimental II you
will. about playing from boat rather
than from a dock, and the Fine Arts
Commission has we'll taken exception to
the location of permanent structure
at the Water Gate.
The concerts, 1t will be recalled, were
started during the summer of 1885 by the
National Symphony Orchestra and con-
tinued the following year by the musi-
clans on a cooperative basis.

Asks Less Personalities
In Radio Announcement

To the Editor Of The Star:
When will the broadcasting stations in
Washington give their listeners
break" and import some real honest
to-goodneSs announcers.
1t is certainly disheartening to tune in
morning after morning and listen to
such drivel coming over the air; the an
nouncers endeavoring very sadly IN
decd to emulate Ben Bernie, Fred AL
len, Charlie Mccarthy, etc.
just the other morning one announcer
spent five minutes telling his listeners
of his personal engagements for that
week. "Emceeing" here and doing soft
shoe dance there! AS though any one
was interested!
Another announcer whose name at one
time appeared in a famous columnlSt's S
daily article (every one wonders why)
insists upon talking about his trips to
New York. And he is so delightfully."-
droll he is sickening. He reminds one OF
Ben Bernie no end. He is so utterly
different.
Won't the Washington owners OF these
stations please have some consideration
for their audience. Or maybe the native
Washingtonian is satisfied with this
mediocre announcing.

Lessons From Tank Warfare.
rom the San Antonio EXPIRES

From the San Antonio Express.
Military and naval experts studying
the wars in China and Spain have
learned. nothing conclusive about the
airplane's potency as an offensive weap-
on. Japan's vastly superior air force
has failed to break China's morale or
gain any ground without the land troops
support. In Spain the contest has been
nearer equal, but nothing is yet proved.
Likewise, the combat value OF fighting
ships, chemical warfare and disease bac-
terra has not had an adequate test IN
either struggle.
1t is a different story as regards tanks.
which have been developed so greatly in
speed, mobility and general efficiency
since the World War to render previ-
Gus performance no longer q criterion.
Military experts have found occasion to
observe several types of tanks in action
under varying conditions in Spain and
China and they have reached conclusions
mostly favorable to the tank advocates.
United States Army authorities do not
believe that tanks can substitute for in
fantry any more than can airplanes, but
they have shown themselves indispensa-
bic adjuncts to manpower in big bat
Ties. When two powerful forces are
stalemated, a strongly backed tank
charge has good chance to crush the
enemy lines.

it is given special treatment and kept by
itself for a special sort of emergency
The value of the Gallinger blood bank
Is augmented by new device, to which
special adaptations have been made in
the laboratory there, for counting blood
cells and typing blood. This is done by
the passage through solution Of the
blood of light which falls on a photo
electric cell. thus setting up an electric
current which varies in strength with
the strength Of the light coming through
the clouded solution. The strength of
this current is recorded by an electrom-
eter and this record can be translated
by means of tables into an accurate esti-
mate of the number of cells in the water
through which the light passed. Work
which once required hours can now be
completed in a few minutes.
The blood bank work is in charge Of
Drs. Jacob Weinstein. H. H. Loeff1er and
Howard Newman and was started be-
cause of the reported success of similar
set-ups in other cities.
Among the far-reaching results that
may come from this blood bank work in
hospitals like Gallinger, the doctors
stress. may be great reduction in battle
deaths in another war; Blood tranSfu-
sions are especially important for
wounded men. Under the circumstances
they usually have been impossible and
thousands have died for no other rea-
son than loss of blood. With the per-
fection of methods now in use 1t prob
ably will be possible to transport large
quantities of icebox blood to the front
lines, where they will be on hand for the
emergency cases following battle. This
will perhaps be the outstanding medical
innovation in future warfare.
