Have you neard, sald inspector
Arthur E. Miller, what the shortest
period of time known to science is?
It's the time it takes the fellow in
the car behind you to honk his
horn after the traffic light has
turned green"
So far as Inspector Miller is con-
cerned, that's no joke. He Is head
of the Metropolitan Police traffic
department, and he is going to see
to it that Washington traffic police
use their full powers of persuasion
from now on to keep the fellow be-
hind you politely silent.
The inspector reached this deci-
sion late yesterday in conference
with George E. Keneipp, director
of the Department of Vehicles and
Traffic. after The Star had delivered
itself of an editorial broadslde
against the city's horn-tootlers.
He agreed with Mr. Keneipp that
what is needed is not temporary
police breakdown" on persons Vlo-
lating the city ordinance which Tor
bids unnecessary use Of car horns.
Instead he plans to impress on tramc
police. by talking to them at their
roll calls, that the law has been
here a long time. is here to stay
and should be enforced at all times.
Don't Like Horns.
Inspector Miller and Mr.. kenelpp
mild men as concerns most SUD-
iects-have a purposeful gleam IN
their eyes when they talk ABOUT
horns. They don't like them. Botn
are convinced that the unnecessary
beepi1ig and footing that goes on
around Washington tends to make
drivers nervous and ]umpy ana
adds to the accident rate here.
Inspector Miller feels so strongly
on the subject that he sometimes
toys with the theory that If all
horns were outlawed there would
me fewer accidents. He thinks
horns give drivers false sense OF
security and that people would drive
more carefully if they couldn't
honk.
The inspector went so far as to
test this idea on recent auto trip
to Chicago. All the way there and
back he never touched his horn.
He says he got along fine.
Cites Accidents.
Mr.. Keneipp's views may differ
slightly from Inspector Miller's as
to Just how much horn-blowing is
necessary, but he is in complete
agreement with the police traffic
expert that unnecessary footing
causes accidents. In his Office yes
terday he waved his hand toward
a large map of the District, studded
with pins marking spots where auto
accidents have occurred this year
There is no way Of telling just
how many of those pins are there
because some boob with horn got
somebody else strained and nervously
upset." he said. But I'm positive
lot of them got there just that way"
Mr. Keneipp. as matter Of fact,
has been waging sort Of one-man
campaign against unnecessary horn
honking ever since he became traffic
director. He has no police arresting
powers, but he has a habit of invit-
ing motorists who toot at him un-
necessarily to drop In at his Office
for brief, heart-to-heart chats. He
invariably succeeds in convincing
them of the error Of hteir ways.
One of Mr.. Keneipp's favorite
stories concerns the young lady
whose car stalled at an intersection

To charge that the machine"
wants to control Arlington School
Board elections, State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick last night re-
piled that the politicians want to
get the election out of their hair"
The Democratic leader answered
an accusation by Oscar r. LeBeau,
who opposed moving the School
Board election from November to
May in debate with Senator Fen
wick.
Senator Fenwick sponsored legis-
latlon permitting a referendum on
the question November 2. Mr.. Le-
Beau is former chairman of the
Citizens Committee for School I'M
provement. They spoke at a meet
ing Of the Arlington League of
Women Voters in the Ashton Heights
Women's Clubhouse. About 100 per.
sons attended.
Question of Election in May?
The proposal to be voted on is
whether to have a nonpartisan cleo
ton on the second Tuesday in May
OF the odd-numbered years, begin
ming in 1919. If the proposal is
voted down, the election will con-
tinue to be held in the November
general election of odd-numbered
years. 1t would remain nonpartisan
only by mutual agreement of the
major political party committees
Arlington, only county in the State
to have the power, last year selected
School Board by popular vote for
the first time.
Holding the election at separate
time, Senator Fenwick asserted,
would discourage political parties
from nominating candidates" and
would eliminate the excuse for
political parties to inject themselves
as parties into such an election
Mr.. LeBeau, terming the question
tricky" said keeping the elections
nonpartisan depends on the poll
ticians.
Restraint by the political parties
can be exercised just as we'll in No.
Venber as in May" Mr.. LeBeau
asserted
Mr.. LeeBau said advocates of
better school facilities were forced
into the current County Board race
by the action of three partisan men,
bers of the board who voted to cut
the School Board budget.
Appeal Is Possible.
Senator Fenwick, on the other
hand. said the School Board may
appeal to the voters fro,l adverse
decisions Of the County Board on
the school budget. This may be
done by referendum on petition of
20 per cent of the qualified voters.
Commenting on a question from
the audience which assumed the ex-
istence of a political machine, +"
Senator Fenwick laughingly as
serted:
Il wish I had the machine every
body says exists. If did wouldn't
be out working so hard to get people
elected.
Its the sorriest machine I ever
saw" he said. ITS got a lot of fiat
wheels"
In addition to the debate, the
meeting heard talks from the four
candidates for the county board

Potter, Francis J. Clair and Jacob

"Desirable Trees"

The timber cutting regulation, re-
Gently established by the Garrett
County Forestry Board, under the
terms of the Forest Conservancy Act,
will include the following tree species
as desirable trees, it was announced
this week by the Department of For
ests and Parks:
Red oak, white oak, sugar maple,
red maple, hemlock, black cherry, all
pine, white ash, black walnut, yellow
birch and spruce.
According to the department, no
tree of the foregoing species shall be
cut that is less than seven inches in
diameter, measured one foot above
the average ground level, unless prior
approval is obtained from the county
forestry board. All other species, it
was pointed out, may be cut to any
desired diameter.
The department stated the regu-
lation has the force of law and
copies of the regulation have been
filed with the clerk of the court of APP
peals and with the bureau of legis-
lative reference.
The Forestry Board declared that
studies have shown that mine prop
operations, which take trees less than
seven inches in diameter, are invari-
ably Improbable. 1t was emphasized
that the regulation does not apply to
those farmers and others who cut
timber for their own land for person
al use.
All communications in regard to
this regulation are being directed to
the district forester, at the Court
House in Cumberland.
