Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
I would appreciate and request
that you call attention to the
omission of my name in The Citi-
zen with those who made the May
Day Festival, sponsored by the
Parent-Teacher Association, a
success.
For your information the Sew
ing Room has, like the WPA Rec
reation Dept, two supervisors,
Mrs. Linton Curry and Mrs. Pie
dad L. PARA, the latter acting as
assistant to Mrs. Curry.
When costumes are made in
this center they are under my
supervision, also, and through my
ability and talent in creating diff
ferent designs for these costumes
we not only make them prettier
but outstanding in every way, as
costumes are the main feature of
any play. I still do not under
stand why they bar my name
from publicity, but 1 am due some
credit, and it is not because l

NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
of Automobile Items Be Examined When Compulsory Motor
Vehicle Inspection Begins in Washington Are Given

Compulsory motor vehicle inspec-
ton, another measure designed to
help reduce the Capitals annual
toll of deaths and injuries from
accidents involving automobiles and
trucks, probably will be inaugurated
late next month.
"The two inspection stations are
practically completed" says Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer, "but
earth fill has to be put in around
the entrances, approaches built and
equipment installed. All the equip
ment is in the city, and we think
the remaining work at the stations
can be finished in about six weeks" !"
Shortly thereafter the traffic direc-
tors Office will begin to send out
post cards to owners ,of all private
automobiles, trucks and taxicabs
in the District. The cards are to
state the week during which the
vehicle must be brought to either
of the two inspection points-at
Tenth and F streets S.W. and West
Virginia avenue and Mount Olivet
road NE. The recipient then may
arrange his plans to appear on any
day of that week except Sunday.
mo car should be taken to an
inspection station until the notice
is received" Mr.. Van Duzer en-
phasizes. Its going to take us
about 10 months to handle all the
vehicles in Washington, SO there S
no need for an owner to become
concerned if many weeks pass with
out his getting the post card"
Maximum Fine $500.
The traffic official does not believe
any motorists will fail to show up
when called, but is ready to deal
with recalcitrants through pro-
visions of the statute establishing
inspection procedure, which permit
revocation of registration and i'm
position of fine not to exceed $500
The Department of Motor Vehi-
cles and Traffic is aware. however
that some will be disposed to chafe
at the inconvenience attendant upon
bringing their cars to an inspection
station. Every effort has been made
to speed the checkup processes
Four lanes will be in motion al
each point, and Mr.. Van Duzel
does not expect any driver to be
confronted with a long period Of
waiting. The actual inspection viii
consume between three and foul
minutes.
| As an added convenience. tn,
stations will be kept open into thu
evenings on some days of the week
The hours of operation have not We
been fixed, but the traffic directo
feels that an m. to 8 pm. sched
ule would be advisable 1t probabl,
will not be practical to keep botf
stations in service the full II hour
six days a week, however, he says.
Although the stations follow th
Evening star., 1939-04-09

pattern OF. those operated in New
Jersey for several years, several i'm
provements have been made. One
removes the ironic circumstance of
mechanics engages in pointing out
dangers being subjected to a dan
ger Reconsideration monoxide
gas. New Jersey officials found that
employees in the station pits were
being blanketed with the deadly
fumes from running engines. Ex-
haust fans, 5 feet in diameter, are
to be installed here, making posi-
BILE complete changing of the air
in the buildings at frequent inter-
walls.
Hydraulic jacks are to be used to
life the front ends of vehicles to
permit a view of the wheel and
steering gear assemblies.
Vacation Exceptions.
In order that vacations may not
be marred by mild attacks of panic
when automobile owners receive the
"cone- -and-see-us" notice at their
vacation addresses, Mr.. Van Duzer's
Office obhgingly will set another
week if the cards are returned
promptly with notations of the dates
on which the vacationers plan to
return to the Capital.
If car passes" on its first ap-
pearance at a station an approved
sticker will be affixed to the wind
shield. If defects are found a bright
red, dated sticker will be pasted
to the glass as danger signal
The owner then must have the nee
essary adjustments made and bring
the vehicle back for another inspec-
ton within 10 days.
I'VE are encouraging motorists tC
take their cars to private garages
before coming to the inspection sta
tions. SO that it will not be neces-
sary for them to make two trips,
Mr.. Van Duzer states.
He points out, however, that there
are no official garages and that ne
motor vehicle registered in the
District is exempt from the regular
checking because its owner has re-
ceived a certificate of inspection
from a private repair shop.
I'VE look upon this coming in
spection as a service to the auto
mobile owner declares Mr.. Var
| Duzer. mo repairs are to be mad
at the stations. but the drivers, IL
many cases, will have pointed ou
to them needed safety measure
which they might not notice them
selves. There is no need to fea
the inspection. The great majorit,
of cars probably will get an 'ap
proved sticker on the first try, ant
the others should be able to qualif,
