said, that if only the girls and men
in the fraternities would live up to
the things they promised when they
were initiated, this would be much
better world"
Mrs. Lindsay, who followed Miss
Baldwin, spoke on the Importance of
inter-fraternity cooperation.
The essence of Panhellenic is CO.
operation as opposed to competition,
she said, with stress on the belief
that the general Greek letter system
is far more important than any one
group.
In speaking on the policy of the
Panhellenic to encourage small chap
ters, Mrs. Lindsay pointed out that
such a policy aids the large groups
as we'll as the small by encouraging
closer contact among the members.
"A large group ceases to become a
chapter and is just an aggregation
she declared.
Mrs. Lindsay also pointed out that
the strongest chapter on one cam
pus may be the weakest on cam
pus nearby and that. in addition,
the relative position of the chap
tiers changes from time to time.

Simple Device Analyses
Motorists Use Of Road

A black rubber tube laid across
the highway and connected at either
end with simple instrument staked
at the side of the road forms the
basis for analysis of how the motor
public behaves in its use of the high
ways. This special study Is being
made by the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads.
The tube is inconspicuous and
looks much like an expansion joint
one of its good features. Most
motorists will not see the tube and
will not be aware of making a rec
ord. Other devices, such as check
ing by observers, or by motion pic
ture records, are less useful because
they are likely to make drivers self
conscious and cause them to slow
down for fear of a speed trap. A
record OF natural driving on a rep
resentative stretch of road Is what
Is wanted.
The tubes are placed at 50-foot
intervals on the stretch of road I'M
der study-a half mile, perhaps.
When an automobile crosses tube,
wave or puff of air is forced into
the roadside instrument and moves
a diaphragm which causes an cleo
trical contact. The tubes are dis
connected at the middle of the road
SO that the vehicle passing on one
side of the road does not register on
the instrument on the other side.
Wires run to a recording appa-
ratus in which strip of paper I'M
rolls under a set of pens. Each
passing car leaves a pair of pen
strokes-for front and rear wheels
Knowing the spacing of the tubes
and the speed of the moving paper
1t is easy to calculate the speed of
any car.
The device is particularly useful
in studying the passing of slow We
hicles by faster ones. On a two
lane highway the pen-marked strip
reveals the faster car overtaking the
slower; then swinging across the
center and registering on both lanes;
then running in the left lane, and
finally swinging back to the right.
Distances and speeds can be calcu-
lated exactly. and by tabulating
many passings it is possible to COM
pute. for example, how long a
straightaway stretch should be to
make passing safe and easy.
A single tube with the roadside
instruments connected to an cleo
trio counter makes a convenient
and inexpensive device for register
ing the number of vehicles using a
road.

ACCUSED DRIVER
 WINS DISCHARGE
Judge Accepts Story of Being Dazed Following
 Auto Crash

Francis Hennessey, 8, of Oak street, arrested on Feb. 26 on charges of operating under the i1l- huence of liquor after the car which he was driving was involved in an accident at the corner of East Farms and Orange street, was found not guilty of the charge by Judge Ed ward Mascolo in city court this morning. Judge Mascolo, however, had the charge changed to one of reckless driving for which he found Hennessey guilty and fined him $25 and costs.
 The case was continued from Monday when Lieut.. John Dunphy, desk officer who questioned Hen nessey on the night of his arrest, was not available in court. Lieut.. Dunphy today testified that the seeming intoxicated actions of Hen- nessey on the night of his arrest might have been caused by blow received by the latter when his head struck the steering wheel in the accident. Hennessey was arrest ed b. Motor Patrolmen John Mur- phy and Raymon dGrady after his car had collided with the automo- bile of Michael w. Cipriano, of 25 America street, which was parked at the left hand side of the road at 65 East Farm street. The officers re- ported that Hennessey showed signs of having been drinking.
 In imposing sentence today, Judge Mascolo stated that the dazed con- dition might have been caused by the head injury sustained by Hen- nessey in the accident, but that he could see no reason why the ac- cused, on clear night, failed to see the parked car into which he had collided. The judge then changed the charge to reckless driving, and as no opposition to his judging of the case under the new charge was shown by either Prosecutor Frank Healey or Atty. Yale Matzkin, defense counsel, he found Hennessey guilty and imposed the fine.
 Several ocntinuances were also granted at the court session today.
