Both of those speedy Hoosiers
are reputed to be. in mid-season

to crack the 1892 mark Rice
established in New York last
season. That sensational effort
wiped out the 8:58 record Lash
made here in 1897.

other starters, including Tommy
Deckard, also of Indiana, Forest
Efaw of Oklahoma, Ralp h
Schwarzkoff Of Michigan, and

D. The AssssIats1 Prsss

oThe Detroit Red Wings, who
recently had the unpleasant sx-
perience of being evicted from
the nice warm second place
apartment they had occupied
since the start of the National
Hockey League season, are beck
in It again. But it appears that
they may have q hard time keep
ing the rent paid up from now
on.
The Red Wings got back hons
last plight by conquering tho
New York Americans Al In .
strenuous overtime contest. That
put them one point ahead OF the
Boston Bruins, who were idle.
There are two chances, however.
that Detroit may be busted
again. The first comes tomor-
row, when the wings play the
league leading Toronto Maple
Leafs while the Bruins visit the
Americans at New York. The
second is revealed by the fact
that Detroit has played 80 games
to Boston's 20. In the process
of evening up. the Bruins may
move into second.
Two other games are on the
weekend schedule, but they
don't affect that situation. Tor
onto plays at HON tonight
against the sixth-place Montreal
Canadiens while the New York
Rangers and Chicago Black
hawks clash at Chicago tomor-
row with fourth place at stake.
Detroit's triumph last night
ended a streak of six games
without a victory for the Red
Wings, but it wasn't an easy
game. The Americans, beaten
in Chicago the previous night,
played on even terms until .
freak shot went against them In

Wares hoisted one los feet, from
Just past the center circle, and It

Staggered Hours as Traffic
Aid Urqed by Van Duzer

Staggered hours for Government
employees would relieve "rush-hour"
traffic congestion in the District,
William A. Van Duzer, director of
traffic, told members of the Six
teenth Street Highlands Citizens
Association last night at a meeting
held IN the Brightwood School.
With a daily increase of 100
Government employees, Mr.. Van
Duzer said that a traffic emergency
now exists" and some immediate
action is necessary. At present,
he said, $4,000 Government workers
are in the District and by July
this number will be increased by
24.000.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock in the
morning, 100000 people are on the
street, either going to work or
school, he said Staggering opening
time at 15-minute intervals over a
period of l hour and IS minutes
would aid materially in relieving the
congestion, he added.
Besides the pedestrian traffic. he
continued, there are 235,000 cars
that move on the District streets
daily. Of this number, $4,000 are
from Maryland, $4,000 from Vir-
ginia and 5000 are tourists.
The solution to the traffic problem
advanced by Mr.. Van Duzer was
more police and more control"
He gave a brief summary of a
dozen recommendations he pre-
Sented to the District Commissioners
and promised the citizens that the
changes long sought at Fourteenth
and Kennedy streets and Colorado
avenue would probably be installed
within year"
The association requested that
speed-limit signs be placed at all
exits of Rock Creek Park.
DR.. A. H. Richwine invited all
of the members to attend the dedi-
cation of the new Calvin Coolidge
High School, which will be held
March 4.

ChevyChaseCit
Hear Miller Urge
Traffic CourtChanqe
Co-ordinoted Safety
Education Program
Also Favored

A separate traffic judge, a Judge
for traffic jury cases and separate
traffic minded" prosecutor were
advocated by Inspector Arthur E.
Miller of the traffic division of the
Police Department in talk last
night before a meeting of the Citi-
zens Association of Chevy Chase,
D. c., in the E. V. Brown School.
Inspector Miller suggested total
of 100 motor cycle policemen. He
said the recent move of bringing
precinct motorcycle men to the
traffic division was for the sake of
uniformity and selectivity." He de-
clared that in the past certain areas
were not patrolled by motorcycle
officers because of the division of
authority between the precincts
and traffic division. Concerning Sc
lectivity, he said that I'VE know
where the speeders are" and where
the deaths take place, adding that
motorcycle men would be sent into
the bad areas"
Co-ordinated Education.
inspector Miller said he favored
co-ordinating traffic safety educa-
ton work in the District. Educa-
ton, he said, is mot the solution,
but it will help considerably"
George E. Dieffenbach, secretary,
reported on the hearings before the
Public Utilities Commission on the
cross town bus proposal, and
sum mot to exceed" $40 was voted
for petitions to be used by citizens
groups along the Military road
route.
A project which calls for the plac-
ing of a life-size silhouette of Gen.
Washington at Valley Forge in the
southwest corner of the E. V. Brown
School from Friday to Monday was
approved. The meeting also voted
$40 to the current drive of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club.
Safety Projects Suggested.
Suggestions for traffic safety prof.
ects were presented by H. V. Schrei-
ber, chairman of the Traffic and
Safety Committee. These sugges-
tions called for additional traffic
engineers. safety education in the
public schools as part of the curric-
ulum. 100 additional traffic police
men. more effective street lighting
and a municipality owned. controlled
and operated training and testing
ground.
Slides were shown of a number
of fatal accidents investigated by
the Accident Investigation Unit of
the Police Department, which has
been functioning under Inspector
Miller's command since the latter
part of last year.

Percentage of Females
In Cities Increases

Though the preponderance Of
males in rural-farm territory be-
came more marked during the last
decade, urban areas increased their
female majoritieS in the 10 years
preceding April l, 1910, the Cen
suS Bureau reported today.
The number of males per 100 fe-
males in cities dropped from 98.1
in 1880 to 95.8 in 1910, while in rural
farm areas the number of males per
100 males increased from Ill to 112.1
In the United States as whole
the number of males per 100 females
declined from 1925 in 1880 to 10l 1
in 1910.
Based on a per cent sample of
the 1910 returns, the Census Bureau
estimated that the rural-nonfarm
population increased by 14.5 per
cent during the last decade. The
rural-farm population remained
practically stationary, while the
urban population increased .79 per
| cent.
The proportion of persons IS years
of age and over increased in urban,
rural-nonfarm and rural-farm areas
while the proportion of persons under
20 years of age declined.
