Under the building re- cently adopted the old fire limits are new code abolished and the question as (o where frame structures may be built will henceforth be re ted by the Zoning Commission, it was explained today by Raymond Wheeler, executive officer of that commission The fire limit was a flexible boun- dary line drawn in a circle some- where between the center of the city and the outlying suburbs. structures could only be built side this line. Under the new arrangement, Maj. Wheeler said, there is no fixed line and frame construction is permitted only in “A” and “A restricted” areas under the zoning regulations. This means that all buildings in “B.’ or “D” areas of the zoning sys must be of fire proof construction a out- tem Object Practically Same, Since “A” and A restricted” areas are confined almost entirely to sub urban section detached home: of detached and semi the object sought is | practically the same as when the fire limit line existed.

The conflict is a new development of the old quarrel between two labor organizations, each of which claims a majority of workers in the La Per- feccionada factory. When McCarl Order Halts Gas Buyifig The Army Air Service and Controller General McCarl are engaged in a row, with the result that for the present at least, the Army aviators must take up a new route in flying between Wash- ington and the West. A dispute over the method of purchasing gasoline lies at the bot- tom of the trouble. The control- ler general decided that the fuel supplied planes stopping at Langin Fleld, Moundsville, W. Va.. should sed for and purchased in open market. The Air Service had let its contract to a single indi- vidual. Until the controversy is adjust- ed, machines from the East have been ordered to fly by way of Cum- berland, Md., and Columbus, Ohio, and not to land at Langin Field except in emergency. There is no intention of abandoning Langin Field, and Air Service officers hope when the war with the control- ler general ends io resume normal use of the Moundsville swation, ¢ w Miner Killed by Avalanche.

The system tried out sireet and Pennsylvania this week of leaving interval between the changing of traflic for pedestrians clear the intersection will be pu irto effect at all policed interesctions Monday, Acting Traffic Director Mo ler announced today Inspector Brown estimated there about 50 busy intersections where t fic policemen are duty, and new plan will be in operation at of them. Most of are downtown, but there are scattered at congested points through out the city Col. Moller explained that the pri mary purpose of the plan is to m: the streets safer for pedestrians. b if_the system is to be a success those who walk must adhere to this simple rule at Fourteenth venue an the al these intersections on in some Start across the street the ‘Go’ signal is facing voy Whistle is Important.

In conducting the experiment at 14th and Pennsylvania avenue this week Inspector Brown of the Traffic Bureau had four patrolmen at the curb lines to explain the scheme to pedestrians and show them when to start. This was done for educational | purposes, and the Police Department is without sufficient man-power to make it a part of the regular system When the plan is adopted at all cor- ners Monday there will be only the officer at the signal and the success of the system will depend entirely on the amount of cp-operation shown by the pedestrians. Inspector Brown explained that the traffic officer can control the vehicles and see to it that they move and stop fonly with the whistle, but they can {only appeal to the pedestrian to do his or her part in a voluntary spirit of co-operation Pedestrian Aid Vital. If pedestrians continue to stream off the curb after the single blast of the whistle the policeman will never be able to wait for all of them to get {across before releasing traffic from |the intersecting street “We hope,” said Col. Moller, “the Il realize the interval of whistles is for their benefit. If they move with the “Go™ ign the officer will be instructed to give them time to cross, but if they walk against the signal there is mo way we can protect them from traffic approaching them on both sides.” Col. Moller also announced today that he and Inspector Brown are try- ing to devise some better rule for ve- hicles intending to make a right or left turn at a policed intersection. It was found in the experiment at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue this week that the only factor which marred the smooth operation of the two-whistle tem was the question of what to do with machines making a right or left turn. This was partially solved by pro- | hibiting the left-hand turn at that corner during the morning and eve ning rush periods. But the problem of the right-hand turn still remains. Machines making a right turn must cross a lane of pedestrians either on pedestrians time between one street or the other whether it makes the turn on the go signal or | the stop signal Col. Moller expects to make an an nouncement in a few days of some re. | vised rule for making turns at these policed intersections GIRL, AFIF;E; SAVES BABY. | Ten-Year-0ld Heroine May Die | From Her Battle With Flames.
