The two mules and the dog were Jjust vutside and were killed when the bolt jumped from the structure.

As a ult of the safety movement in the schools last y the accidents to | children were " reduced. The goal of the A. A. A. in co-operation with the District officials and school authori- ties is to reduce this number still more this year. In connection with this appeal to motorists, Stanley H. Horner, chair- man of the District of Columbia Ad- visory Board of the A. A. A., said: “It is important that the school year be started in the right direction on the very first day. It would certainly be a fine thing for the District to that not one “kid” had been injuredl or killed in a traffic accident on the opening day of school. That is a rec- ord of which we could be proud and I am sure every motorist will want to co-operate in a movement of this kind. If each motorist will take upon himself the responsibility of avoiding accidents with children it will not be hard to reach this goal. Appeal to Motorists. “Of course, we mean that special care should alw: be taken in driving whenever there is a chance of children being around, because it is harder to avoid an accident with a child running into or across the street than with an ad walking across. are should be taken in driving at all times and all accidents reduced in number, not for this one day; we are thinking especially about the children because for the first time after a Sum- mer vacation they are trudging the Polic the y FRAME BRICK STUCCO METAL BLOCK Tin _Roofs—Concreting Roofs Painted—Gutier & Spout.

The | headway on the Anacostia and Con- gress Heights line also will be re- duced. Cars will leave Congress Heighta every 12 instead of 15 min- utes. The headway from Anacostia will be 6 minutes instead of 713 | minutes. Changes in the routes on three im-, nt lines of the Washington Rail- & Electric Co. go into effect to- day. The rerouting was ordered sev- eral months ago by the Public Util- ities Commission with a view to Im- proving and better balancing service.
