SAYS TIN10 MAKES WRONG LEFT TURN A. A. A. Makes Survey of Traffic at Street In- tersections. One out of every ten automobile drivers here breaks the law—elther knowingly or because of unfamiliarity with it—in making left turns at light- controlled intersections, and the code is disregarded even to a greater extent at intersections where an officer is on duty, apparently in a move to speed up traffic. This statement came today from the American Automobile Association, with the announcement that it was based on a study by investigators, who com- iled the study of more than 10,000 left turns. Observers were stationed at both light-controlled and police-directed in- tersections to determine if there weas any uniformity displayed by local mo- torists in making left turns, and the re- sults, showing there was not, are the fruit of several days watching. Make Hoover Turn. With the relation to the increased number of incorrect turns where police are on duty, it was said that in many instances motorists were motioned on or rmitted to make the Hoover turn in he seeming effort to avoid blocking traffic, while in other cases, lorfl{: tagged cars were allowed to proceed an incorrect manner—the traffic offi- cers having the choice of condoning the violation or taking undue time for in- struction and selecting the former method as more likely to expedite the flow of cars. On the other hand at light-controlled corners, fellow motorists making cor- vect turns did not, in many instances, prove so considerate and sought to se- cure compliance with regulations by emphatically urging violators to ‘“‘come over and wait,” with those observing the letter of the law. The confusing effect of the lack of uniformity was clearly evidenced at designated police controlled intersec- tions, according to the A. A. A, it be- ing pointed out that when the traffic officer was not at his post, nearly 16 per cent of the drivers made the wide swinging rotary turn instead of the Hoover turn, which the absence of the policeman made the obligatory method, Where observers called. the attention of violators to this incorrect turn, in @ few instances, there was not a one, it was said, who did not, through mis- understanding of the traffic law, seek to justify the method used by saying it was the proper turn if a semaphore were in the intersection, whether a policeman was there or not. Associa- tion officials insist that this_erroneous conception of the local traffic law Is surprisingly widespread. Outstanding Feature. “One of the outstanding features of the survey to me as the disclosure of how the left turn rule at police-con- trolled intersections lacks permanency and consistency,” said C. P. Clark, general manager of the American Auto- mobile Association. “If you will look at these figures vouw’ll see that, on the average, the trafic officer was there but one hour and 46 minutes and then left for an average of 34 minutes. “In other words, the rule for left turning changed twice every two hours and a quarter. The only uniformity therefor is a uniformity of change which is not the uniformity which makes for safety end which has been indorsed so generally even by our own traffic authorities “If the local authorities want to adopt a left turn which is most gen- erally understood then, it seems ap- parent, that the Hoover code method is the one which should be selected. Remember that on 90 per cent of our street intersections the Hoover turn is now the required one—then look at these figures and you will see that even in the remaining 10 per cent of the intersections slighly over one quar- ter of the left turns made are done in the Hoover way. Why should it be thought necessary to have two rules here in Washington in order to permit three quarters of the left turns at but | 10 per cent of the intersections to be | made according to a nearly exclusively local fashion?” During the rush hour intervals 15 light-controlled intersections were sur- veyed for a total time of 42 hours and 30 minutes and in this time 4,576 left turns were observed. Of these, 4,143, or 90.5 per cent, were rotary, or correct, ‘while 433 drivers, or 9.5 per cent, vio- lated the code by making the Hoover left turn. Survey of Rush Periods. Likewise, during rush intervals a survey was made at 15 intersections which are either police controlled dur- ing rush hours or where police are stationed all day. In the 54 hours and 30 minutes observed, officers were on duty 36 hours and 21 minutes and off 18 hours and 9 minutes for 66.7 per cent and 33.3 per cent, respectively. During the survey the traffic officers remained on duty for average periods of 1 hour and 46 minutes, leaving posts a total of 31 times and remaining away for an average of 34 minutes. ‘While actually police controlled, 3,418 left rotary turns were noted, or 88.8 per cent, and during the same period there were 433, or 11.2 per cent, Hoover incorrect left turns, for a total of 3,851 turns. During the time of absence of the officers, there were 2,171 total left turns, of which 1,828, or 84.2 per cent, ‘were Hoover and correct, while 343, or 15.8 per cent made the then incorrect rotary turn. In all, the police con- trolled intersections yielded 3,761 rotary turns, or 625 per cent, and 2261 Hoover left turns, or 37.5 per cent, with & grand total of 6,022. The observers thus registered 10,598 left turns at 30 light and police con- trolled intersections during a period of 97 hours. These constitute the princi- pal street crossings which, it’is claimed, necessitated the use of the rotary left turn in Washington, yet, even there, 2,694 Hoover turns were made for 25.4 per cent of the total while the heralded Totary turn was used 7,904 times. In other words at these intersections, where the rotary turn supposedly was an essential, it actually is used less than three-quarters of the time. Not included in any of the above figures, but merely as a matter of further interest, it was said a three- hour rush period survey was made at the light-controlled intersection of ‘Wisconsin avenue and M street, where trafic makes north to east turn on green lights. Of the 645 left turns registered, 229, or 35.5 per cent, were rotary and 416, or 64.5 per cent, were the Hoover turn. — NAVY PLANE LANDS ON SHIP AT NIGHT By the Associated Press. SAN PEDRO, Calif, July 26.—Ai airplane of the U. S. 8. Saratoga took off and landed successfully on the illuminated deck of the huge aircraft EDGE T0BE NAMED ENVOY T0 FRANCE President Also Has Selection for Italy, Pending Word of Acceptability. By the Associated Press. President Hoover is making substantial progress toward virtual reorganization of the foreign diplomatic corps now that Secretary Stimson has about com- pleted his preliminary survey looking to that end. The Paris post, made vacant by the death of Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, is to go to Senator Walter E. Edge of New Jersey. A successor also has been se- lected to Henry P. Fletcher, who re- cently resigned as Ambassador to Italy, but his name is withheld until word has been received from Rome that he is acceptable to the Italian government. To Await Congress Close. Senator Edge will remain here until after the close of the special session of Congress, as he is a member of the Senate finance committee handling the tariff revision bill, in which many in- dustries in his State have a vital interest. ‘With the special session now expected to end by the middle of October, Mr. Edge probably will leave around No- vember 1, to take up official residence in the French capital, where, as a private citizen, he lP!nt much of his time for 12 years before the war look- ing after the business interests he had there. ‘To the New Jersey Senator, who was foremost among the Hoover supporters in the preconvention campaign and was until he retired from the field a candidate for the vice presidential nomination, goes what is regarded gen- erally in diplomatic circles as the sec- ond most important diplomatic appoint- ment within the gift of the President. Baird May Succeed. Senator Edge is expected here to be succeeded in the Senate by David Baird, jr., & Republican of New Jersey. Gov. Morgan F. Larson, it is reported here, will make this selection should Senator Edge's resignation reach him within less than 30 days before the New Jersey general election in Novem- ber. Should the resignation be sub- mitted before October 5 the vacancy would have to be filled in the Novem- ber election under the terms of the State law. Entering the Senate only 10 years ago, Senator Edge rose rapidly in party councils. Besides being a member of the finance committee, he slso holds places on the foreign relations, banking and currency and privileges and elec- tions committees. As chairman of the interoceanic canals committee, he sponsored the bill providing for the survey of the Nica- raguan Canal route. He has been a staunch administration man and is re- garded as one of the Hoover spokesmen in the Senate. “ROBIN” SETS GOAL AT 500 HOURS, HELD POSSIBLE BY EXPERTS (Continued From First Page.) family is already here, keeping a con- stant vigil at the field. Each hour they continue their aerial merry-go-round adds approximately $111 to the joint account of the flyers. ‘Their daily compensation now is $2,673. With “good flying” weather forecast for several days ahead, the Robin had 500 hours as the objective. This was the record goal set by the two flyers in remarks to friends before starting. At 8:38 pm. (C. S. T.) last night, the Robin has bobbed to a time double that made by the Army plane the Question Mark, last January, which was the marvel of the moment. Watch Texas Flyers. Jackson and O'Brine were concerned with the Houston endurance plane, the Billion Dollar City, especialiy after the exchange of telegrams yesterday. The Robin had a 100-hour lead on the Texas plane, but “Red” and “Oble” expressed their idea of needing to stay up until the Billion Dollar City faltered and descended. The 500-hour achievement is not a fantasy in the opinion of two motor ex- perts, Arthur Nutt, designer of the motor, and Seth K. Prince, who in- stalled it in the Robin. Nutt's faith was founded on test block operations in the factory of 500 hours with the throttle wide open, while Prince “wouldn’t be surprised if it stays up 200 hours more.” The valves probably will be the first thing to cease func- tioning. But it might “be some little thing that no one ever gave a thought to which will finally force it down.” “Round-the-World” Flight. Charles C. “Casey” Jones, president of the Curtiss Flying Service, sent a message aloft yesterday in which he figured that Jackson and O'Brine have flown a distance equal to a prospective 17,000-mile, commercial airline around the world, from New York to San Francisco, Honolulu, Tokio, Constanti- nople, Madrid and return.

Kel- lerman of Columbia victorious in the first match play round of the Maryland Country Club tournament. Although Kellerman negotiated the course of the Maryland Country Club in 71 strokes, which is exactly par, he was beaten on the nineteenth hole by Billy Howell of Richmond, Va. last year's Virginia State amateur champion. Howell was around in 70, and squared the match on the eighteenth when Kellerman took 3 putts. At the nine- teenth, Kellerman missed a short putt for a half. Two of the other three ‘Washington men in the first flight were victorious in their first-round matches.

NEW YORK, July 26—This is the tough season for Pido and Tabby, their folks are going off to the country and leaving them behind. * If the pet is well born and therefore of monetary value, the chances are it will be placed in a boarding kennel, of which there are hundreds of all de- grees in size, cleanliness and scientific equipment in and around New York. But thousands and thousands of “just dogs” and plain, ordinary cats—that not so very long ago were cuddly pup- ples and kittens that everybody spoiled —are not so lucky. And on their behalf Merril Hitchcock, executive secretary of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, today issued a public appeal. Mercy Asked for Pets. “If you're going away to the coun- try,” he said, “and don’t want to take your pet along, or don't care enough about it to pay its board, give us a chance, we’ll find a new home for it or put it out of the way, decently and without pain. “Don't kick it out into the streets.

The Senator, who frequently visits Langley Field in the interests of avia- tion, has flown down by airplane, and after landing, had gone to look at the new baloon igar. He was busily en- gaged in his examinations when he was handed a telegram from the Senate finance committee summoning him back to Washington in connection with tariff matters in which he is greatly inter- ested. It is a two-mile distance from the hangar to the plane landing field and Senator Bingham was much disturbed at the loss of time the trip would in- cur. “Why, we've got a blimp all ready an I'll land you right at the door of the Capitol in no time at all.” Senator Bingham needed no coaxing. The blimp, a T. C. non-rigid type, belongs to the 19th Airship Company at Langley Field. Capt.

HOOVER KEEPS OUT OF TRFF DETALS Smoot Says Senate Repub- licans Are Acting Independ- ent of White House. By the Associated Press. Contrary to suggestions which have been widely expressed, Chairman Smoot wants it to be known that the Repub- licans of the Senate finance committee are working independently of the White House in their present task of rewriting the House tariff bill. President Hoover, he says, is pursuing a hands off policy, and except that they are following the general formula for tariff revision, which he laid down in his message to the special session of Congress, the committee Republicans are acting independently in their delib- erations. For Limited Revision. ‘That general formula called for “lim- ited” revision of the existing Fordney- McCumber tariff with a view particu- larly to giving greater protection to agricultural products and to some other commodities which might be found to be insufficiently gmtecwd against for- eign competition by the schedules of the 1922 act.

Information Is General. All of the information about rates which has been allowed to seep out of that chamber, in fact, is of a general character. This includes the word that some of the House increases have been reduced, that others have been ad- vanced, and that some decisions have been reached by close votes. The feel- ing continues to prevail in that vicinity, however, that the general effect of the committeemen’s work will be a down- ward_revision of the House schedules. -— ST.

Mr. Clark pointed out that nearly half of the visitors did not know that Washington has two methods of making left turns. “On many occasions,” he continued, “I have stood at crossings and watched visiting motorists making the approved turn and the vote con- firms my opinion that the reason was they thought Washington of all cities used the standard turn instead of the l‘OL}ify." The statement continues: “Over 98 per cent of the visitors voted in favor of uniform traffic rules throughout the country. “As to which was the preferred method of making the left turn—that 1s, the wide, swinging rotary turn or the Hoover turn from the left lane of traffic—three out of every four favored the Hoover system. The vote on this was 72.8 per cent for the Hoover turn, 25.7 per cent favoring the rotary turn, while the balance, or 1.5 per cent, pre- ferred the Hoover turn at uncontrolled intersections and the rotary at con- trolled crossings. “It is significant that but 11 per cent voted for the mixed system, which is, of course, the method now in force in Washington, and this is why 94 per cent of the visitors cast their ballots for having the same rule at crossings, whether they are controlled or not.” TIGE GINGER ALE!

LONDON, July 26.—Both houses of the British Parliament adjourned this afternoon until October 20 after an animated session in the House of Com- mons over the questions of Egyptian policy and the forthcoming reparations policy conference. In the closing hours of today's final session the new Labor government calmly withstood a severe attack from the Conservative side over the question of Anglo-Egyptian relations precipitated by the resignation of Lord Lloyd, as British high commissioner in Egypt. ‘The attack was led by former Premier Stanley Baldwin, reinforced by Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the Exchequer. No Policy Change. Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson indicated there would be no change in the government’s Egyptian policy unless the desire to treat Egyptian internal affairs with the utmost liberality could be 50 construed. Parliament would be consulted before any new treaty with Egypt should become effective. As to the virtual dismissal of Lord Lloyd by the Labor ministry, Mr. Henderson said the late Conservative government had had frequent differ- ences with his lordship and sald the new government soon became convinced it could not carry out its desired policy toward Egypt with so unsympathetic a representative in Cairo. Premier Ramsay MacDonald said former Premier Baldwin, Mr. Churchill and their associates well knew Lord Lloyd was one of the first problems the government would have to deal with and that no one in the House of Com- mons could have been less surprised than the Conservatives at the action taken with regard to him. Former Premier Baldwin offered little in rebuttal to Mr. Henderson's detailed outline of Lord Lloyd's differencies with the Conservative government. Mr. Churchill, however, remarking that Lord Lloyd was his friend, pro- voked Premier MacDonald’s statement by insisting the Labor government was anxious to displace his lordship “because he stood for firmness in British rights.” Discuss Reparations. After the Egyptian discussion the gov- ernment brought up some of the prob- lems likely to appear in the forthcoming conference to put into effect the Young reparations plan, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden declared that if Great Britain got all she could expect under the new proposals, she would have just enough to pay her American debts, leaving no surplus. France would have a surplus of $100,000,000 annually after her debt payments had been made and all the other creditor powers would also have surpluses, he said. Mr. Snowden stated there was no de- sire to increase the amount of claims which Germany would be called upon to pay. The British government would ac- cept the scale of annuities proposed. As to deliveries in kind, the government could not to accept the proposals in the report unless compelled to do so. He described the proposals about de- liveries in kind as constituting a new demand for further sacrifices from Great Britain and said he was express- ing the government's view in saying the limit of concessions had been reached.
