BRUSSELS, October 29.—The Brit- ish and Turkish dispute over the Mosul boundary was caused by the rare gift of the Turks in in- terpreting treaties in their own way. Under the clauses of the Lausanne treaty the Turk submitted to arbi- tration by the League of Nations the question of the future of Iraq and | the Turkish frontiers, while commis- ions were dispatched tamia. The Turks advanced with a few battalions into the territory which was hitherto considered no man's land, and there siginfied to the Nes- torians, who were Christians, and, therefore, friendly to the British, tha with or without the league's consent they were to remain Turkish citizens.

Water Official Says i Conversion of Brightwood : Basin Is Feasible. | The District government may {heir to a fine municipal athletic |stadium at comparatively small ex- | pense within a few years, it became known today. J. S. Garland, superintendent of the District water department, revealed that when the new water system now under construction is completed the present Brightwood reservoir, at Six- teenth and Kennedy streets, will have {to be abandoned, and he is pre- | pared to make the suggestion that it Ibe converted into a place of public recreation. Mr. Garland pointed out that the | reservoir land is the property of the i water department, and could be con- verted by slight alterations into a | most desirable spot for outdoor sports. 1 Conversion ‘Cost Moderate. | This reservoir consists of two con- {crete lined storage basins that total 1833 feet long and 300 feet wide at the [ top and about 1 or 20 fect deep. At the bottom of the sloping walls the is 820 feet long and 287 reservoir | feet wide. | “The superintendent said the sides of | the reservoir are probably too steep in their present condition for stadium | purposes, but that it could be adapted to use as an athletic field with a nodest expenditure. “We are perfectly willing to give consideration to other suggestions |for the use of this ground, but the athletic field is my idea of the best use to which it could be put by the city,” Mr. Garland stated. | Available in 1927. | Of course, nothing can be done along this line until the new con- {duit, the new filteration plant and the new reservoirs are completed and in service, which it is estimated will be about 1927. _ Mr. Garland explained that the | Brightwood reservoir will not be serviceable after the new project is fiinished, because it is only 278 feet labove mean low tide, whereas one of the new reservoirs which is to take its place farther northwest will be at an elevation of 350 feet. This will take care. of the so-called second high- service pumping area now fed from | the Brightwood reservoir. | Situated on the west side of Six- teenth street nearone of the entrances to Rock Creék Park, the reservoir is admirably located for an athletic stadium.

Despite the redoubled efforts of most of Washington’s traflic police- men to give pedestrians time to clear the busy crosswalks before turning traffic again them, observation at the more congested intersections to- Qay showed little disposition on the part of many pedestrians to co-oper- ate in a movement that is designed for their own safety. Sure of their immunity fron® ar- rests for acts that would send a mo- torist to jail for 30 days or more, and probably result in his right to drive an automobile in Washington being revoked summarily, many pedestrians of all ages and all stations walked helter-skelter, sublimely oblivious to the warning screech of the guardian policemen’s whistle or the position of his semaphore. Every traffic officer in Washington ! now has been instructed by Inspector Albert J. Headley, chief of the Traffic | Bureau, to sound a warning blast on ! his whistle, stopping all vehicles, and then permit sufficient time to elapse before sounding the second, which moves traffic, to allow not only pass- ing vehicles, but also passing pedes- trians, to be out of harm's way before | the traffic could reach them. Police Watching Rule. An impersonal survey of the past few days has proved that most of the officers are doing this to the best of their ability under existing condi- tions. Some yet need to be warned | that they must think of the pedes- | trian as well as the vehicle before opening the signal and releasing the stream of traffic. But the majority are bending every effort to comply with the spirit and letter of their in- structions. Trials have proved that it is not al- together possible to set an arbitrary length of time during which trafic must not move in any direction. Dif- ferent conditions govern different corners. For instance, three or four seconds may be sufficient warning at one corner, but_perhaps 10 seconds would not be sufficient at another. On. rarer occasions no interval is essen- tial during those infrequent periods when there is a lull in both pedes- trian and vehicular traffic. The orders given to every officer now are: Sound a warning blast on your whistle stopping all traffic.

There were some of course, who declined to state how they would vote. G. 0. P. Trend Marked. The trend of sentiment toward Coolidge among these farmers has been much more marked during the last two weeks. The belief is that the increase in farm products pric and the fact that these increased prices have continued high, hav. been the cause of a change in senti- ment favorable to the Republicans. The discontent of the farmers has been one of the assets of the pro- gressive party. It is not claimed to- day that this discontent has been en- tirely eliminated. But it is claimed that the discontent has been mate- rially reduced, and that the farmers are better off by far this Fall than they were a year ago.
