ARPORTOPPOSED BYBEANINGCROLP | Citizens’ Body Frowns on Site as Dangerous and Impractical. The proposal to acquire the old Ben- 1 ning race track for a municipal airport | in the District of Columbia was vigor- ously opposed by the Benning Citi- vens' Association last night at the ©Odd Fellows’ Hall, Minnesota avenue and Benning road northeast. Frank James, intrcducing his mo- tion of opposition, said that not only would it be disadvantagous to the community, but the existing condi- tions there, such as heavy fog banks arising from the river, the tall smoke stacks of the Potomac Electric Power Co.. the sandy soil and the | high tension wires recently placed on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks, made the site impractical. James also #aid he felt that legalized racing in the District was not far off. The association favored the reten- | tion of Capt. Sidney J. Marks in the eleventh precinct. It was reported to the association that Capt. Marks | has made a very good record in that | area since his rank as a private on | the police force. Copies of the resclution will be sent to the superintendent of police and the Police Commissioner. Traffic Ideas Requested. In a letter from John B. Ecker. secretary of the Junior Board of Commerce, the association was urged to co-operate with them by sending any suggestions they misht have in solving the traffic situation. The secretary was instructed to gend a letter to the Public Highways Department urging the resur{icing of the Benning viaduct. Albert A. Strous of the Public Utili- ties Committee was instructed to ! communicate with Richmond B. Keech of the Public Utilities Com- mission in regard to the bus rerouting on Minnesota and Kenilworth ave- nues and also the placing of a wait- ing station at the west end of the Benning viaduct. This request was made some time ago, but no action has been taken Parking Ban Sought. A request will be made of Traffic Director Van Duzer that no parking signs be placed at the west end of the Benning viaduct and on the norfh | side of Kenilworth avenue at Ben- ning road. This request will be made, it was said. in hopes of eliminating the over 18-hour parking in this area. | The secretary was notified to send a letter to Capt. Marks of the eleventh | precinct urging him to station an offi- cer in the vicinity of Benning road | and Minnesota avenue from 4 p.m. to | 12 pm. At present the only police | protection in Benning is given by the | radio scout car. | William Gray was elected to mem- | bership in the association. | In the absence of the president, Clement W. Sherriff presided. i | Scientist Denies } Shape of Skull | Identifies Races! Heads Changein Appear-' ance, Hrdlicka Says, in Attacking Old Theory. | | By the Associated Press, | You can't tell a person's race by sizing up his head. Shapes of skulls Are constantly changing and Dr. Ales Hrdlicka said yesterday that the long- accepted belief that they are the key %o race is not true. | The ancient idea was exploded by the noted anthropologist after vears | of study of the skulls in the National | Museum. He has found all kinds of skull shapes among people of every race, black, white, brown and yellow. The relative dimensions of the human | nead are changed by altered ways of life or adjustments to biological laws, | he asserted. ] Many mistakes have been made by Scientists because they accepted the | idea of different skull shapes for dif- ferent races, Dr. Hrdlicka said. For example, measurements of old skulls dug up by archeologists led to the be- lief that a prehistoric race of Negroid folks once lived in Scandinavia, and that Eskimos of recent times belongea to the same race as the cave dwellers of France of about 12,000 B.C. Changes in the shapes of the skulls, and skeletons, of some races are going | on now, he finds. For instance the | American Indian is going through far- Teachine changes in his physical | structure. | LOVES TO EAT THIS CEREAL, IT CHECKED HER CONSTIPATION *I Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN Helped | Miss Kesterke | l | We quote from her letter:! “Three years ago, I became con- | stipated.* I tried many laxatives. But as soon as I got used to each kind, I began to get the same trouble. “Last summer I was on my vaca- tion. They served Kellogg’s ALL- BRAN. I just loved it. I eat Kel-| logg’s ALL-BRAN every morning, | and ever since I have not had to | take any more laxatives.”—Miss Margaret Westerke, Cresskill, N. J. \ *Duce to insuficient “bulk” in meals. Tests show Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN | provides “bulk” to aid elimination. ALL-BRAN is also rich in vitamin B and iron. | The “bulk” in ALL-BRAN is| gentle. It resists digestion better than the fiber in fruits and vege- | tables, so it is often more effective. ! Isn’t this food safe than risking | patent medicines? Two tablespoon- fuls of ALL-BRAN daily are usually sufficient. If seriously constipated, use with each meal. See your doc- tor, if you do not get relief. cers. Made by Kellogg in g | Battle Creek.
