Do

KNOW.

The Selkirk mountains in the
northeastern corner of Washington
State, north of Spokane Valley and
east of Colville Valley, are part of
the Rocky Mountain System. The
mountains of this area lie on the
western front of the Rockies and
continue northward into British
Columbia and Southeastward into
Idaho. In Washington the Selkirks
are represented chiefly by the prom
inent ridges that lie on the opposite
sides of the Clarks Fork river and
by the more or less isolated group
of mountains north andeast of
Spokane. Within the Selkirks, the
Clarks Fork has carved a valley both
deep and wide, which causes the
neighboring ridges to stand out in
bold relief The highest peaks
along the SUBMITS of the ridges are
at times 5000 feet, or at elevations
of about $500 feet above the floor
of Colville Valley, and about 1000
feet above the valley of Clarks Fork.

already taken is contemplated on
reorganization plans for the Office
of National Capital Parks drawn up
by Collaborators H. S. Wagner and

neering division in the office of

adopted so far. Mr.. Demaray said.

Brown Calls
Traffic Safety
Conference
Por|ey Qutgrowth
Of Stor's Analysis
Of FutuI Accidents

In an effort to develop new and
more effective means of combating
Washington's trafflc death toll, Po-
lice Supt. Ernest w. Brown today
summoned his inspectors and pre-
cinct commanders to a special safety
conference In his office next Tues
day at pm.
The conference Is a direct out
growth of The Stars recent analysis
of 1899 traffic accidents, Maj. Brown
said

ly to review a series of recommen-
dations prepared by Inspector Will
liam E. Holmes, police traffic super
visor, after he had been directed by
Maj. Brown to make a thorough
study of The Stars analysis and to
offer suggestions that could be de-
veloped in connection with traffic
law enforcement and investigation
OF traffic accidents

One OF the proposals to be con-
sidered is a recommendation by In
spector Holmes that the speed limit
for night driving be cut to 20 miles
and hour in the 25-mile-limit zones
and rs miles an hour in the 30
limit zones.
Inc traftic supervisor also has
suggested an absolute and inflexible
ban on the fixing" of traffic tickets
and establishment of a trained ac-
cident prevention and investigation
squad, to be headed by a trained
captain or inspector.

tor Holmes will call for an unrelent-
ing drive for strict enforcement of

key officers to keep alive interest in
bettering Washington's traffic safety
record.
Another suggestion to be consid-

calls for curtailment of the cruising
habits of taxicab drivers and reduc-
tion in the number of taxicabs to a
maximum of 2,500 The District now
has more than 1850 taxis.
Other Proposals.
Expansion of the pedestrian
walk light system, parking bands
on narrow streets on which street.
cars run, more one-way streets,
physical examination of all motor
lists and scientific tests for intoxica-
ton in drunk driving cases. -..
Other suggestions are expected to
be made by the other inspectors and
commanding officers, Maj. Brown

Meanwhile, in an order issued to-
day, Maj. Brown called for elimina-
ton of all but urgent calls on the
police radio system.
He pointed out that in many cases
in which calls have been broadcast
for minor routine jobs such as get
ting reports at hospitals. the police
man on the beat could have taken
care OF the job. Telephone COM
munications will suffice in many in
stances, the order said.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 12.-Despite
Maryland's snow-covered fields and
ice-packed waters. between 100000
and 10000 wildfowl have refused
to fly south for the winter-and

county organizations and individuals
are purchasing the feed.
About 100 bushels of feed a day

cannot forage for themselves when
snow is on the ground and waters
are icebound.
Corn-left on the ear so the Wild
fowl will get some exercise in get
ting it offs the birds main dish,
Mr.. LIE Compte said.
Fred D. Ramsdell, 1901 Connecti-
