LNETORTGKVLLE Electric Railway to Suspend ~ Next Sunday—Schedules Are Arranged. The Capital Transit Co.’s electric railway operating between Washing- ton and Rockville will suspend next Sunday and modern busses will sup- plant the line now serving communi- ties in the western section of Mont- gomery County. It also was learned last night that the company’s electric road from Chevy Chase Circle tp Chevy Chase Lake will be replaced by busses on Beptember 1. Forty new busses will be required for commuters using the two lines and for extra service in the Capital next Winter, and their purchase was cessation of rail operations. The busses, it was said, will be of the same general type as those now in use in the District, but are of a somewhat later design in that they will be more underslung. Some will accommodate 23 passengers, while others will seat 30 and 31. Schedules Are Prepared. Schedules are now in the course of preparation and will be made public shortly. While the routes have not been definitely decided, assurances have been given that busses on the Chevy Chase Lake route will go into Kensington and Garrett Park. A number of “feeder” routes are under consideration. Arrangements are also being made for the construction of an off-street terminal for busses and trolley cars at the District line and Wisconsin avenue. Passengers on the bus routes running between various communities An the county and the District line will change at this point to street cars for downtown Washington. Commuters using the through busses, of course, will not be required to make the change. During construction of the terminal, which will be of an artistic and up- to-date design and so built that both busses and street cars will arrive and depart under porto cochere, an elec- tric car will be used for a waiting Toom. Long Fight Ends. Abandonment of the two lines ends & long struggle by numerous civic or- ganizations in Montgomery to have busses substituted for the trolleys and thus make way for the improvement of two of the Capital's portals—Wis- consin and Connecticut avenues. The railway volunteered to join in the campaign several months ago and petitioned the Maryland Public Service Co. for permission to abolish rail service in favor of busses. The petitions were granted several weeks ago0. Citizens groups along both routes are now advocating that the State Roads Commission pave the rights of way used by the transit company after the rails and trolley poles are removed. NAVY ORDERS.

B”SSES SUPP'.ANI Just Before Shriners Trimmed the Grotto Deaths Blamed on Low Ears Trafic Theorist Holds “LE” Drivers Should be Curbed as Dangerous. DO YOUR ears sit low? If you do, then you are reckless and are liable to kill some one with your automo- bile, according to a new theory evolved by Edwin J. Creel, erstwhile Wash- ington automobile mechanic, who has submitted a new traffic control sys- tem to William A. Van Duzer, director of traf fic for the Dis- trict of Colum- bia. Creel plans to carry his plan much further. He will take it to the President of the United States and to Congress. His plan involves the employment of more than 500,000 official observers to check on reckless drivers. Armed with hundreds of newspa- per clippings showing photographs of criminals and great men alike, Creel says he can line up all the automo- bile drivers in Washington and point out the men who are reckless drivers. He also contends that with his new traffic control system, he can, by an educational campaign, convert them into safe-and-sane drivers and cut down the accidents from 25 to 80 per cent. . Has Scientific Theory. Creel works on the same idea &s evolved by Lambrosa and Goring, that is that the overdevelopment of the wg-area” of the brain, which rest on the inner ear, forces the ear down- ward. In other words, the develop- ment of the brain along certain lines shows even on the outside. The whole system is based on re- search, with observers at all times checking upon auto drivers. Drivers with “LE (low eers) would be under special surveillance and every time they made a mistake in driving, they would be reported and the driver ‘would be given a white label to put on his driver's license. When the driver got six of these, he would be given & red label for the next mistake and when ht got two of these red labels, he would be deprived of his driving per- mit. The system would work on the theory that drivers would be con- verted to safe driving. “Just think” says Creel, “what effect it would have on an auto driver if his wife or sweetheart knew he had reckless driving instincts and that his license carried four or five labels for offenses. They would get to work on him mighty quick. He's in “LE” Class. “I am an LE” Creel continued, “although you will notice that one of my ears is lower than the other. I am inclined to take chances, but I know that I am a potential reckless driver, so I have educated myself to drive carefully.” If you suspect that you are an LE, go to the mirror and hold your head so that you can look straight forward. Then glance along the lines of your eyes and note the position this. He showed four pictures of the famous jurist to prove his point. The one taken when Mr. Holmes was a small boy showed his ears low, the one taken when he was a young soldier { located them a little higher, and the next, taken several years ago, Was still higher, and one taken just be- fore his death showed the ears far above the eye line. That made him normal. Indicates Inner Aftitude. LE, unlike BO, does not carry & social stigma. It is, in fact, an asset to success. It simply implies that the man with LE is reckless and in- clined to take chances. Creel thinks men with LE in the wrong direction should be kept off the streets, and he claims that with his system they can be gradually weeded out until they will no longer cause accidents on the city streets or on the highways. MILITARY CUT URGED Methodist Young People’s Group Deplores War. Resolutions deploring war and urg- ing peaceful settlement of disputes were adopted by delegates to the Young People’s Institute of the Methodist Churches of the Baltimore Conference at their recent annual meeting at Mountain Lake Park, Md. It was the twenty-first annual meeting of the in- stitute. The resolutions urged reduction In the budget of military expenditures and also indorsed the work of the Nye Committee, which conducted the muni- tions inquiry.

Liabilities ‘(Continued From First Page.) home in Missouri. Under the present law, Mr. C. would have to institute | suit for damages in the Missouri courts to recover. Under the new law, how- | ever, if he is sure he has a case against the Missouri man, he may call on the District director of vehicles and traffic to act as his attorney. The director notifies the Missouri State Traffic Department, which has a com- pulsory liability law, and the license and registration certificate of the of- fender are suspended until he either comes back to Washington to face a damage suit or pays damages to Mr. Brown. Accidents in Other States. On the other hand, if s District motorist is found liable for payment of damages in any one of 21 States having automobile liability laws and fails to satisfy the damages, the Dis- trict Traffic Department will suspend his permit and lay up his automobile until he makes good the claim against him and in addition furnishes proof of his responsibility in case of future accident. ‘The new law does not require any District motorist to take out liability insurance or furnish financial proof of responsibility unless he is convicted at any time after August 1 of driving while drunk or under the influence of drugs, or of leaving the scene of a collision in which his car is involved and in which a person has been in- jured without making known his identity; or unless he fails to satisfy a judgment against him resulting from an sutomobile accident. The law, however, holds him strictly accountable for damages, and, if he has no insurance, he must pay in full out of his own pocket to satisfy any judgment against him. —_—— BOLD BANDITS FOILED Machine Gunners Quail and Flee Before Sign ‘“Out to Lunch.” CHICAGO, July 27 (#).—Four bold bank bandits drove up to the Mount Prospect State Bank in a nearby sub- urb today, waved gawking towns- people aside with & machine gun, and stopped short at the door.

Inc. EVENING STAR BUILDING *- - WASHINGTON-D. C. WESTS B PAYS NEW DEA' EBY Confirmation Expected for Man Who Sacrificed House Career. ‘The New Deal’s debt of honor to Charles West will have been paid in full this week when the Senate ap- proves, as it is expected to, the ap- pointment of the former White House congressional liaison man to the new- ly created post of Undersecretary of the Interior. A member of the Works Progress Ad- ministration. To Continue as Advisor. West's duties will be for the most part the routine work of supervision and administration in the department itself, although it is said he will con- tinue to be a constant advisor to the ‘White House on ways and means of pushing bills through Congress. The 40-year-old student and politi- clan, who, when only 21, was named vice consul at Naples by President Wil- son, was sent to the House by the six- teenth Ohio district in 1930, when the Democrats captured the body by a margin of two members for the first time since 1919. Before that he had been instructor in government at Harvard and Wooster College and professor of political sci- ence at Denison University. Helped Shape Legislation. West made a brilliant record in the House and in two years became a mem- ber of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, just in time to play an in- tegral part in the shaping of the na- tional recovery act, the New Deal tax bill and the silver-purchase legislation. A year ago, the administration see- ing the writing on the wall for Simeon Fess, 12 years Republican Senator from Ohio, cast around for a good New Deal Democrat to take his place. West was selected. He then withdrew from the race to recapture his House seat and entered the senatorial primary. But he reck- oned without the strength of “Honest Vic” Donahey, one-time Governor of the State, who got the nomination by an overwhelming majority, leaving West out in the cold, his chances to of the House blighted. Became Contact Man. For months he was unheard from. But observers, knowing how well he stood in the very highest Roosevelt circles, looked for him to bob up in some responsible Washington post. They were not surprised, then, April, when he became contact man with Congress for the White House. To provide him with a salary, he was given a sinecure in the Farm Credit Administration. In May, the President urged the creation of the post of Undersecre- tary of the Interior, just a year before he had urged creation of an Under- secretary of Agriculture to provide a better job for Rexford Tugwell. The Jjob was made, and West was made to fill it. e RESERVE BUILDING PLANS AWAIT 0. K. Fine Arts Commission Will As- semble in New York Week From Tomorrow.
