when is the automobile inspec.
ton going to start?"
Traffic Director William A. Var
Duzer can't yet answer this question
definitely, but expects it to be under
way late next month. Completion
of the two inspection stations-at
Tenth and F streets S.W. and West
Virginia avenue at Mount Olivet
road N.E.-is promised March 20.
Don't bring your car to the sta
tions until you receive a post card
notice." Mr.. Van Duzer warns.
The cards will state the week
during which the owner must bring
his automobile, taxicab or truck tc
one of the two inspection points
Cars may be brought on any day OF
the week mentioned except Sunday
And the Penalty?
What will happen if the car does
not appear for the check-up?
The traffic director mentions
clauses of the statute establishing
the procedure which permit revoca-
ton OF registration and imposition
OF a fine not to exceed $500 for
failure to comply.
He says. however, that motor
vehicle owners away on vacations
may return the cards with notation
OF the date they plan to return
when the notification is received at
their vacation addresses. A later
week then will be set for them.
Mr.. Van Duzer points out that
about 10 months will be required to
inspect all automobiles and trucks
registered in the District, so there
should be no cause for concern If
no notification is received BY an
owner for many weeks after inspec-
ton has started.
Inspections Quickly Made.
When cars are brought to the Sta
tions they will be checked in three
TO four minutes. They may have to
wait in line for a time, but with
1our lanes IN motion at each station
Mr.. Van Duzer does not expect ex-
cessive delays. Inspection hours
have not been fixed, but the traffic
director favors 8 am. to 8 p.m
although both stations probably will
not be in operation the full IL hours
six days week.
The stations are being equipped
with hydraulic jacks to lift the front
ends OF the cars for inspection of
steering gear and 5-foot exhaust
fans to protect the mechanics from
carbon monoxide gas.
No "Oficial' Garages.
IT an automobile is approved, an
approved" sticker will be affixed to
the windshield. If it "f1unks," a
bright red, dated sticker will be
attached. The owner then must
have the shortcomings remedied
and bring the car back for another
checkup in 10 days.
Mr.. Van DuZer emphasizes there
are no Official" garages or repair
shops, that needed adjustments or
repairs may be made by any me-
chanic. He also states that no
vehicle is exempt from the District
inspection because its owner has re-
ceived a certificate from a garage.
The traffic director recommends,
however, that motorists have their
cars checked at a repair shop before
coming to the inspection stations
to lessen the chances of their being
inconvenienced by having to return
for a second inspection.
Things to Be Inspected.
Here are the objects of the in
spectors' attention:

Warned To Get Ships
and Citizens Out of
Wenchow and Foo

Shanghai, June 27.-(AP)- The
japanese navy today announced Of
fensives against two more Chinese
ports, warned the United States and
other powers to remove their YES
sells and declared the ports would
be closed to foreign shipping.
A Thursday noon deadline was
given for withdrawal of their ships,
after which Japan would not be re-
sponsible for their sfety. United
States and other foreign nationals
were urged by the Japanese to leave
the two cities-WenchoW and Foo
chow.
British authorities answered with
a warning that Japanese would be
held responsible for any interference
with British shipping or endanger-
ing British lives and properties. The
United States position was not made
known Immediately, but observers
pointed out that a similar Japanese
warning in the case of Swatow was
rejected promptly
The British consul general, in a
note to the japanese, said, Britain
would not accept the Japanese warn
ing as relieving Japan of respon-
sbility, and. added "the right of Brit
ish vessels, including warships, to
proceed to and remain in any place in
Chinese waters, including the treaty
ports of FoochoW and Wenchow, and
the right of British subjects to reside
at or near Foochow and Wenchow,
remains unaffected"
