C. Conditions Sees Disposition to Dis- obey Regulations. Traffic habits which interfere with the smooth movement of vehicles in the congested part of Washington &re not so much the result of inadequate regulations, but of insufficient observ- ance of existing rules by motorlsts and traffic officers, in the opinion of R. G. Smith of New York, who is assisting in the transportation survey now be-. ing made here by the firm of McClel- lan & Junkersfield. Letter to Director Eldridge. In a letter to Trafc Director Eld- ridge Mr. Smith lists six of these hab- its, which he says are the principal causes of annoyance and delay. They are, he said: “The stopping of automobiles out- side the parking zone and in the lane of traffic “The parking of automobiles and other vehicles too close to the end of street car loading platforms. “The parking of vehicles from 4 to 6 in the afternoon on streets on which, according to posted traffic regulations, wrking is permitted during these or at any time during the day. he faflure of vehicles traveling than the legal speed limit to keep s far to the right of the street as possible. “The interference to traffic caused by automobiles backing into and backing out of spaces reserved for angle parking. “Failure of pedestrians to use crosswalks going from sidewalks to street car loading platforms.” Other Conditions Cited. The rough condition ef « seme streets and the inadequacy of street lighting also were mentioned by Mr. Smith as factors affecting the com- fort and safety of driving in Wash- ington, Mr. ‘Smith gave several locations where he had seen traffic tied up by machines stopping in the lane of moving vehicles, presumably to wait for some one to come out of a near- by bullding. “This habit of stopping automobiles j{in lanes of traffic seems to be de- veloped to a higher degree in Wash- ington than {n any other city with which the writer is familtar,” Mr. Smith continued. “It is a most dar- ing example of serving personal con- venience rather than eo-operating for the benefit of the majority. Traf- fic officers appear to pay no atten- tion to_the obstruction of free flow of trafic in this manner and make no effort to have these machines move on “The second bad habit of the Wash- ingtonians is their failure to recognize parking restrictions. The first thing which a stranger in Washington no. tices is the tremendous number of cars parked everywhere throughout the business dis The unusual width of a great many of the streets in Washington permits an amount of day parking which is not feasible in other cities, and In this respect the local residents are fortunate. This generosity with respect to the use of the streéts for the storage of auto- mobiles h been carried somewhat (oo far on certain of the main thor- oughfares.” Habits of Delivery Trucks. Referring to the habit of delivery trucks and slow-moving pleasure cars in keeping near the center of the road- way, Mr. Smith said this pr: sults in one of three thing: the general flow of traffic is impeded, the faster moving vehicles attempt to pass between the slow-moving vehicles and the curb, or the faster moving ehicles swing out on the center line of the street in an attempt to pass. The last two alternatives, Mr, Smith sald, are dangerous practices. CONTEST WINNERS AT W. R. E. OUTING Employes, Guests of Company, Enjoy Day at Glen Echo Park.

GUARDS T0 FIGHT EFFICIENCY CUTS Local Troops’ Officers Will Resist Action Affecting Those in Training. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.. August 28, —War will be waged by the officers of the National Guard of the District of Columbia against Government officials who attempt to lower the efficiency records of any of their subordinat because the latter take leave for serv: ice with the militla. While the camp is near the closing point, reports have come in that a few of the men expect to suffer upon their return, and the officers are determined to make a strenuous fight for them, backed as they are by a law which prohibits the efficiency of any employe heing af- fected by his military service. Lieut. Col. Harry E. Gladman, ex- ecutive officer of the engineers, sald that the organization was prepared to make a determined test in all cases reported, and that he personally will lead the campaign. The first gun in the war was fired today by Capt Thomas A. Lane of I Company, a member of whose command, Pvt Grant A. Dodson, has just receiv notice of his dismissal as an employ of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, for being absent without leave. Capt. Lane has just dispatched a letter to Dr. William K. White, superintendent of the in- stitution, asking that official to make & personal investigation, and if pos- sible, have Pvyt. duty. Capt. Lane said in his letter that on one of the nights that Dod- son was absent he was present at a drill at the armory in Washington under orders, and on another night he was sick and presented a. physician's certificate of the fact. ‘War exercises on today’s program carried the troops away from their base early, marching inland to take up a “position in readiness” to repel the advance of an enemy with a strength of 1,000 men which the- oretically landed several days ago and drove the defending troops back from their coast line intrenchments.

C., RITES FOR BANCROFT ARE HELD IN CHICAGO Vice President Dawes and Japanese Envoy Pay Honor to Late Ambassador. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 28.—The stmple funeral service of the Presbyte: Church was gald yesterday for Edgar A. Bancroft, whose recent death in Tokio ended a long career which had n crowned by his appointment as Ambassador to Japan. Charles G. Dawes, the Vice Preel- dent; Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Ambassador to the United States, and J. Butler Wright, Assistant Secretary of State, representing President Cool- idge; Chief Justice Tafe ad Becretary Kellogg, were among the dignitaries who attended the brief ceremony. Ambassador Matsudaira and Vice President Dawes walked together down the aisle of the church after a final tribute at the flag-draped coffin of the man described eariier in the day by the Japanese representative as having done much to heal the hurts of Jupan after passage of the American immigration law. In his prayer over the Ambassador’s body Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure, president of the McCormick Theo- logical Seminary, asked divine guld- ance for President Coolidge and the Japanese Mtkado and prayed that in the death of Ambassador Bancroft might be found a tie to bind the two countries closer together. Dr. McClure did not preach a ser mon. The prayer, two of Mr. Ban- croft’s favorite hymns— “Canonbury” and "God of Our Fathers'—and scrip- tural readings composed the cere- mony. The late Ambassador’s body was left lying in state in the Fourth Presby- terlan Church. This morning the body was escorted to a train by a military guard of honor and taken to Galesburg, Ill, for burial this after- noon. President Coolidge's appreciation of Japanese courtesies extended upon the occasion of Ambassador Bancroft's death was acknowledged today by the Emperor of Japan. “1 beg to tender to you,” the Em- peror said in his message. ‘‘my sincere thanks for your very courteous mes- sage.
