May Show Police Need. ‘The need of one or more policemen at intersections where the movement of pedestrians is greatest may also be indlcated by the figures compiled from the count. Every sclentific mothod will be taken in effort to get the exact fig- ures and zones of trafic, An auto- mobilist who drives into a block and then gets out and walks across the street or pavement will be counted as a pedestrian and every means will be taken to keep away from peak or abnormal conditions. For Inatance, count will not be taken on unusually cold or rainy days or on pedestrian traffic brought out by the first warm day of Spring. The men making-the count will be placed in the middle of the block rather thar on the corners, 5o that the count will be one of the conditions of the block and the direc- tion of travel rather than just the crowds at intersections. cared for 406 persons in d sistea vessels in distress with a total value of more than ,000,000, and boarded 46,152 vessels to examine their pape A total of 2,205 vessels were seizezd or reported for viola- tions of law.

ROANOKE, Va., December 8.—One man was killed and two others seriously injured when an extra freight train crashed into the rear end of freight train No. 51 on the Shenandoah division of the Norfolk and Western Railway at Lofton yes- terday. James W. Harris of Roanoke, a fire- man on the second engine of the dou- ble-headed extra freight, was trance of the Wartburg™ ..

Painter, also of Roanoke, and Samuel Dean of Shenandoah were the men injured Both engines and nine cars of extra were thrown from the track by the impact, and the caboose of train 51 was reduced to splinters. Dean. a conductor, was the only oc- cupant of the caboose when the crash occurred Painter was the engineer of the second locomotive of the ex- tra The engineman and fireman of the leading engine of the extra jumped to safety when they found that the crash could not be averted. The cost of education in New Zea- land has more than doubled since the war. B It is expected that the plan will be put into effect after the Christmas shopping rush. The count will take one day, and about & week will be necessary to complle the statistics, which will be kept and compared with each bi-annual count. an area bounded approximately by Seventh street on the east, Pennsyl- vania avenue on the south to Fif- teenth street, H street on the south to Seventeenth street, up Seventeenth street and Connecticut avenue to Du- pont Circle, along L street to Four- teenth and along Eye street from YEs Fourteenth to Seventh streets. R About 600,000,000 pennies are col- lected every year in London gas meters. Hope to Show Congention. It is hoped that the result of this count will show just at what points there is congestion of pedestrian traffic, and, it is thought by those in- terested, may be of great value in the solving of the downtown parking tem as well as the distribution of traffic police. As the rush hour trend of pedes- trian traflic is well known, therefore efforts of the workers on the count will be to find the trend during the normal periods. Counts will be made after 8 o'clock in the morning and before 4:30 in the afternoon. Weather | conditions, time of day and time of | vear will be taken into consideration | in the count, as it is the plan of the| ssoclation to make such counts| every six months and thus get well in touch. with any change, however | slight, that might ensue in the! pedestrian traffic trend. In connection with the solving of the parking problem it is the thought of those in charge that it may be shown that the trend of pedestrian traffic might be bringing about a con- gestion In spots where liberal park- | ing is now in force, and on the other hand might be moving away from For Rent— Office Room Ground Floor Attractive Front, Near Corner 914 New York Ave. N.W.
