By the Associated Press. PARIS, August weil, but the govern- ment desires that it do better. With that end in view, a bill has been laid before the Chamber of Deputies pro- viding for the creation of a nation office of maritime credits which would grant loans to French shipowners at a rate of Interest not exceeding 3 per cent. The necessary funds, apart from gifts, legacies and the like would be furnished by dues on goods landed and on_passengers embarked. The proposed tax on goods would be from one-half franc to 2 francs per ton and the rates for p ngers 10, 4 and 2 francs, respectively, for first, second and third class, with les- ser rates for steamers engaged in in- renci ship- | | i | | | -e has just been | & the ternational coastwise services or ply- route to Algerta.

I ritish Ship Rams American Oil Tanker—Both Limping to New York. By the Associated Presa. NEW YORK, August 22—Two crippled steamers are limping into port after a collision two miles off Point Judith, R. I, tonight. Distress calls sent out at 9:05 o’clock reported that the oll tanker Harvester out of Providence, R. I, for Port Arthur, Tex., has been rammed in the rear by the British steamer Rosalind, New York to Halifax. The first call asked for assistince for the Harvester, which was said to be taking water rapidly, but later messages reported that the damage to the ship was above the water line and that she was continuing to New York under her own steam. The Rosalind, although her bow was re- ported to be stove in, was proceeding, also under her own power to the same port. INJURED IN COLLISION. John A. Kennlo, 63, of 18 P street, was hurt about the head in a col- lision between the automobile of Jo- seph E. Kennlo and one uperated by Edward J. Halley, 3¢ H street north- east, last night on Seventh street between Pennsylvania avenue and D street. Kennlo's car was backing out of & parking space, when the other ma- chine swung down and hit it. The force of the impact resulted in Kennlo's injury. Halley w; arrested by police of the first precinct on an intoxication charge. Kennlo was treated at Emergency Hospital by Dr. Ruby. B Escaped Convicts Captured. PORTLAND, Oreg..

C. Commissioners. The item for establishment of new bathing beach facilities for the people of Washington has been placed on the list of supplemental estimates for next vear, it was understood Iast night, but District officials still look upon the bathing beuch projects as urgent needs, which should be provided for in the next appropriation bill Congr t the session, with- held funds for continuing bathing fa- cilities in the Tidal Basin and the work of dismantling the beach equip- ment there is now going on. District officiais are known to hold the view that all of the items they are ing for as supplementals this vear re as urgently needed as the funds which make up the regul; stimates. Indications are that when the city heads testify before budget bureau of- ficials next month they will plead as earnestly for the supplemental items as_for the regular estimates. It is reported at the District build- ing that the supplemental estimates for 1927 now being drafted will ex- ceed to some extent the sum of $3,- 0,000, which the Commissioners were ordered to eliminate from their original estimates. Total Abeve $39,500,000. The tentative budget of the Com- missfoners aggregated $39,479,866, and, after studying this figure, Budget Di- rector Lord directed that it be cut to $36,250.000, but advised the Com- missioners that they could submit a supplemental list of items stricken from the original report. The Commissioners did not carry over into the supplementals every item they struck from the original budget, but they are planning to re- submit as supplementals every item they struck from the original budget, but they are planning to resubmit as supplementals all of the important projects. In addition, they have come across a number of needed items which were not before them in pre- paring the original estimates, and which explains why the supplementals are likely to exceed the amount which the Budget Bureau said should be eliminated from the tentative esti- mates. The revised estimates and supple- mentals will be transmitted to Gen. Lord in about two \eeks and will rep- resent a combined total of more than $39.500,000. Just how many of these supple- mental items will be passed on to Con. gress for consideration will be decided by the Budget Bureau after the Com. missioners have presented oral ex- planations of the necessity for them.

Attempt Not First. This {3 not the first time that an attempt has been made to change the | turning rule in Washington. Early | in 1920 the traffic committee of the Board of Trade, under the leadership of W. Pearce Rayner, recommended that the curb system be installed. The Star on February 29, 1920, printed an article and diagram which showed that the proposed change would cause a tremendous amount of confusion and it was abandoned. Commenting on the scheme-at that time, Capt. Albert Headley had the tollowing to say “I do not see any reason for holding a man on the right side of the street until all traffic has passed, while if he were on the inside, he could con- tinue his way at the first break in {trafiic coming from the opposite di- rection. Every effort is being made now to get the street clear as soon as possible and to avoid delays. Sefler’'s Views Quoted. Quoting from the same story, A. G. Seiler, then touring manager of the ‘American Automobile Association and now associated with the traffic direc- tor’s office, said: The rule governing the movement of vehicles at the busier crossings, where the traffic officers are in charye, and which is already in operatien in Washington, seems to be the most practical from the standpoint of ex- pediting trafic and for its simplicity of method. A driver who anticipates making a left turn at such a croessing aims to keep nearer the center of the thoroughfare before reaching the cross street, so that when the ‘Go’ signal is given he may reach a point close to the officer. There a pause is made until he is given the signal to proceed.” The diagram printed in today’s Star is the same as that used five vears ago. Although automobile traffic has undergone many changes in that time the fact that the same opinion” and the same map agaln apply to 1925 traf- fic would tend to show that the turn- ing rule is one of the fundamentals and should not be altered. Present Rule Not Enforced. It has been suggested that in lieu of the experiment with right and left hand turns practically the same result might be aeccomplished by rigid en- forcement of the right-hand turn reg- ulation now in force, which provides that all motorists desiring to turn must await the signal of the officer. Few motorists seem to realize that this rule is contained in the traffic code. In the case of a left-hand turn the motorist would pull up as usual close to the center of the intersection and | fore proceeding. Neither the right nor the left hand turn would cross pedestrian traffic if this method was enforced. Only a slight modification of the present practice would be need- ed. Motorists mak & right-hand turn would turn onl with traffic flowing in the same direction, as would those turning to the left. wait until the signal was changed be- | OLD TURNING SUGGESTION REVIVED €raisas’s 5 have drawn 95175 o amsf syl fo mowe s, 19 amsi? 3 7o mare. mAere ot Upper: Proposed turning Lower: System now in_us (Reprinted from The Sunday Star of February 29, 1920.) AMERICAN FLYER HAS MARVELOUS ESCAPE PIERCING RIFFIAN LINES Auto Stranded After Wild Dash for French Post. Col. Sweeny Spends Night in Open, Then Dashes to Safety. BY COL. CHARLES SWEENEY. Commander of thy N erican Lafayette Fue By Cable to The Stas and Chicago Daily Ne ON THE MOROCCAN BASTERN FRONT (Via Pafis). August 22 “Don't go forward ¢n that road. It is dangerous and easily lost, and if vou go astray vou'll fall into the hands of the enemy. who'll cut your throats after inflicting upon you the, worst atrocities imagimable.” These words from a captain of the Spahis was our introduction into the road El Mernisi to Souk-¥3m-Khemis. Dark had fallen an hour before, but we had decided to push on because it was necessary to join up with the column of Col. Nogues that night if we wished to assist in the operations scheduled to start at daybreak. “As vou know,” continued the cap- tain, “all our patrols are withdrawn at nightfall, and in Morocco there is no fety a hundred yards outside the barbed wire of the French posts. So I repeat don't take that road.” Speed Toward Goal. We had left Fez—a staff captain and myself—after luncheon with Gen. Naulin for the purpose of joining Col. Nogue's column. We should hawe ar- rived by 6 o'clock, but a combination of bad luck and minor accklents found us long after nightfall srill 20 kilo- meters from Souk-Em-Khemis, De- spite the captain’s advice, we de- cided to push on. “Light all your lamps amd search- lights and push on as fas® as you can. The salopards may tMink You are an armored car and not molest you,” was the parting advice of a cavalryman. So off we went, blazing ke a North River ferryboat, with the accelerator pushed to the limit, on an unknown and badly defined road in a hostile, enemy-infested country, with no food, water and one auto matic_pistol for my chauffeur and myself. Despite numerous bad bumps. all went well until we arrived within sight of what we took for the camp lights blazing on three widely sepa- rated hills. Then suddenly the ruad was snuffed out. Straight across the fields toward the brightest 1fght seemed our surest course. Bumping and swaying, we went on until suddenly, crossing a dry river Led, we dropped or 3 feet into sand over our hubs and stalled. There was nothing to do but pass the night in the open country. It was dangerous to ap proach the post on foot because it was always surrounded by enemy shooters. After wandering half an hour we found a bend in the perpendicular banks of the river bed, where we lay down to pass the night. Almost im- mediately there broke out behind us the usual orchestra of rifle and ma- chine gun fire and savage yells, which indicated the presence of a French post, but showed us we had straved ahead of the French outposts and into the heart of the enemy country. Escape Rifle Fire. This made us safe for the night the enemy would never think of loc ing for us in their territory. The dan- gerous hour would be daylight, when as hostile territory, or await the arrival of the French advance columns. The symphony of firing and velling kept up all night, gradually petering The captain and I. carrying our valises, struck out boldly across the flelds in the direction of the camp. Boldness is the best policy in a de- nuded, barren country, offering ubso lutely no cover. An anxious quarter hour of walking and running, pepper- ed from three sides by bullets, brought us in contact with the ad- vance elements of the French column, who received us with cries of wonder and_astonishment. We were passed back until we quickly arrived at Col. Nogue's head- quarters. He could hardly believe his eves at seeing us alive. He had been advised by wireless the night before that we were on our way, but as we had not arrived, he had believed us captured by the salopards. And never expected to see more of us than our mutilated bodies. “You may consider yourselves lucky,” he said after hearing our story. “Not ten men in the history of Morocco have passed a night alone unprotected in the ‘Bled’ open coun- try and lived to tell the tale.” “Copyright. 1925. hv Chicago Daily News Co.) eyes.

By the Associated Pross. CHARLOTTE, N. C., August On account of low water resulting from drought conditions said to be without precedent in the last 35 vears, the Southern Power Company today announced that it had asked that xll Industrial consumers of hydro-sleciric power produced by the company shut down thelr plants one day each week, beginning next Wednesday, until fur. ther notice. The curtallment of the use of power will affect about 300 mills in the Pied- mont sectlon of the Carolinas, with more than five million spindles. How- ever. many of these mills have been operating on a part-time basis for several months on acount of unfavor- able marketing conditions. The mills are grouped by counties, and a zone schedule arranged by which each group will close for one day each week, the several groups suspending operations on alternating days.
