Washington, Feb, 21.--Among the countless problems which centre in the national capital taere is one which, in contrast to weighty mat. ters of diplomacy, state and gavern- ment, is peculiarly a 'Main Street" question" It is the traffic problem. It has attracted the attemtion of ex- perts from many cities; special committees have wrestled with fit, and now Congress has taken it in hand, hoping to solve, it but to all ABpesIaNeSy it still remains a prob m.

After the engine has been turned over a few times you can tell whether the fuel is reaching the cylinders by removing a spark plug and seeing if it 4s damp with gasoline. If it is wet, it is a sign that the cylinder has deen flooded by keeping the choke rod out too long. If this is the case, close the throttle and crank the engine a few times to force this ont of the cylinders. If you are getting gas in the cy- 'Hader, them inspect your ignition. This is imgortant--you can not tell fore the war, with its wide, free avenues and inviting shady circles, square and parks which dotted the magnificent distances, would think if they were to visit Washington to- day that it had been converted into a public garage. There are in Washington, a city of 500,000, about 100,000 automo- biles, and those from the nearby suburbs in Virginia and Maryland swell that number. There are so few garages, public or private, that resi- dential streets are cluttered at night with homeless motor cars. By day the same thousands of cars are to be found in the streets downtown and in the parks. . The motor car owner in Washing- ton may do what he may not do in New York, London, Paris, or practi- cally any other large city. He may drive to business and leaves his car in the sfreet until his day's work is done. Of course, all-day parking is prohibited and occasionally a police drive against it mets some fines.

The death rate from motor accident runs about one a day, and the injur. ies several, A special committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce has denounced Washington's traffic regulations as 'asinine.' They are voluminous and the police say the great majority of motor drivers don't know them. There are, of course, many come plexities arising from privileged driv. ers. Motors belonging to the foreign diplomats are marked "diplomatic." When a speed cop pulls up along- side one of these cars a distinguish- ed-looking gentleman sticks out his head and says, 'T am the ambassador from Belgravia." The cop knows that the car and occupant have dip- lomatic immunity. A pretty young woman breaks the speed limit Into splinters and says, "I am the daugh- ter of the minister of Graustark™ In aggravated cases the State De- partment politely requests the em- bassy not to fracture tne local orde in But there are other complicating special privileges which make dim- cult strict enforcement of the laws.

A congressmen may now park his car as long as he pleases while transacting "official business." There are probably more motor car drivers in Washington who are privileged. or who imagine them- selves to be privileged, than in any other place in the world. It is not strange that the policeman often wonders whom to arrest.
