Pope Plus X died of a broker

Although ornaments are being

Skip Stop Suggested
In Traffic Survey
Report, Due Monday
Schultz Says Little
Inconvenience TO Result
In Transit Proposal

The Streets and Traffic Subcom-
mittee of the House District Com
mittee, which has been studying
traffic problems here for nearly two
months, will make its report to the
full committee Monday. it was an
nounced today by Chairman
Schultz.
The report, he said. would contain
number of recommendation de-
signed to make the streets safer for
both pedestrians and motorists. as
well as suggestions for expediting
the movement of traffic.
One recommendation in the re-
port, Representative Schultz re-
vealed, will call for revival of the So
called skip stop" system used by
Washington transit lines during the
World War period to expedite trans
portation of Government workers
and other passengers.
Cites Former Experience.
Under the plan street car or bus
would stop only at alternate inter-
sections instead of in every block.
The 'skip-stop' system apparently
worked satisfactorily during the
World War days when Washington
was congested," declared Mr.. Schultz,
land it should be even more ad-
vantageous at this time with the
city bullying with the greatest popu-
lation in history and its transporta-
ton facilities seriously overtsxed.
Adoption of the plan will cause
little inconvenience. 1t will mean
that some people will be forced to
walk an additional block to board
a street car or bus, but these people
will be rewarded with quicker trans
portation to and from work"
The "skip-stop" idea will speed
up the service" in the opinion of
E. D. Merrill, president of the Capt.
tai Transit Co., land might be an
improvement if carefully planned
and controlled" The long stops
gradually disappeared after the
World War as citizens petitioned for
restoration of original stops. he said.
Eight automobiles will be placed
in operation this week, Mr.. Merrill
said, to check on the speed of buses
and street cars, particularly in out
lying areas. This followed charges
on Capitol Hill that the vehicles
were speeding.
Transit Speeders Quizzed.
Mr.. Schultz said the extraordinary
demands now being made on the
transit lines appear to have led to
"step-up" in the running schedules
of buses and streetcars with the re-
suit that motormen and bus drivers
are violating the speed regulations
and jumping" red lights. He called
attention to the recent secret check
up made by the Police Department
at his request which showed Al vio-
lations of the traffic regulations by
bus drivers and motormen over "a
hour period.
Six of the transit company en-
ployes accused by the Police Depart
ment of speeding were questioned
Monday by Mr.. Schulte'S subcom-
mittee. No arrests were made for
these violations, he said, at the re-
quest of the subcommittee.
II think the publicity given these
cases will better serve the interests
of the District than any fines that
might be imposed on the transit
company employees" he declared. Il
am satisfied that every employe OF
the transit company is traff1c-mind-
ed now and will observe the traffic
regulations" If they don't, watch
the police crack down on them"

OUT TUT-ING KING TUT

And now we get down to what was, to me the most fascinating part of the Commerce Department exhibit =. the work that Charles E. Sando of the Department ol Agriculture has been doing with a synthetic resin that's a dead ringer for clear glass. He has been burying bugs and ears of corn and butterflies in blocks of this stuff and turning out preserved speci- mems that would out-live King Tut's mummy.
 Sando. 45-year- old bio-chem- ist, after several years of research has managed the feat of imbed- ding these specimens in an un- scratchable clear plastic and re- taining not only perfect form, even to the minute hairs on the legs of a tarantula, but perfect coloring. He has preserved frogs, snakes with barred fangs), pea COCk ItdJllcIS, SpihSS Ol NllCoo "ite' oats and even moths, whose deli cate coloring would be upset by any breeze strong enough to bloW the dust off their wings.
 Don't ask me how he does it. only know that it is too expensive for commercialization and that not iot of air or moisture is left in the embedded specimen. Scien- tists and medicoS already are tip ping their derbies to pr. Sando and promising that it won't be long until you can illustrate your lectures on the absent appendix with ss-imbedded proof.
