SIFE FOOTPRNTS TODOTSDEMALKS Kiwanis Club to Paint ‘Don’t Get Hurt,’ to Caution Pedestrians. The Washington Kiwanis Club is going to leave “safety footprints” all over downtown Washington as a result of a second safety luncheon meeting held by the club yesterday at the May- Hower Hotel. Members of the club, armed with huge stencils, paint and brushes, will visit all downtown street corners and paint on the sidewalks big footprints carrying on the sole the warning “Don’t Get Hurt” and on the heel the name of the club. ‘The first of the footprints will be painted at the northeast corner of Fifteenth street and New York avenue at 2:30 o'clock this aftegnoon, in the presence of Wililam A. Van Duzer, director of motor vehicles and traffic; Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, and Harold Marsh, president of the club. Contribution to Cause. ‘The warning footprints, similar to those which were visible on Washing- ton sidewalks for months 12 years ago, ‘will be painted as the contribution of the Kiwanis Club to the safe driving and walking campaign now being car- ried on by The Evening Star Safety Council | Announcement of the plan to paint the warnings where every pedestrian | will see them before stepping off into | the path of motor traffic was made at the weekly luncheon meeting yester- day, at which Van Duzer was the guest speaker. Van Duzer commended | the club for its plan, which he said not only would serve to keep the need for constant watchfulness fresh in the | mind of every pedestrian, but also | ‘would serve as a warning against jay- | walking. “We have got to have some kind of pedestrian control in Washington,” Van Duzer declared. “Of the 135 traffic fatalities which occurred here last year, 89 were pedestrians, and of these 89, 66 were the fault of the pedestrian.” The traffic director told the club | that 251,000 Washingtonians hold | drivers’ permits issued by his office and that there are 196,000 motor ve- | hicles licensed in the District. | 20 Years Dangerous Age, Of the total population of 487,000 in Washington proper, he said, 110,000 persons are too old or too young to drive cars, and that of all the persons eligible to hold permits, two of every three have obtained permits. He declared that only three drivers over the age of 65 years were involved in accidents last year and that “the most dangerous age” was 20 years. Although only three-fourths of 1 per cent of all the District’s lcensed drivers are 20 years old, he said, they were involved in 3 per cent of all the sccidents last year. There is one car to every two and one-half persons in Washington and one car to every family, he said. He pointed out the seriousness of the traffic problem in downtown Washing- ton, saying that at some corners as many as 4,700 automobiles passed through the intersection in an hour, or at the rate of one and one-third ve- hicles per second. | The club paid & one-minul tribute to the memory of MJ'-:e ;‘a::; Hahn, who was killed a few days ago | in a traffic smash. She was the widow ©f a former Kiwanian, DEATH OF REICHELT IS DECLARED SUICIDE Patent Office Employe, Whose ‘Wife Recently Sailed for Nor- way, Victim of Poison.

O “READER” begulles the ear of those few cigar makers whose deft fingers cut and roll the broad, moist tobacco leaves into cigars for the few con- noisseurs left in Washington. “Readers,” for the information of the uninitiated, were the versatile linguists who formerly sat in the rollers’ huge room and, in a stout voice and in many tongues, read and then translated the day's news as the cigar makers rolled and cut the tobacco. That day of smokers’ opulence is gone. It disappeared a decade ago, when Henry Ofterdinger closed his shop at 504-08 Ninth street.

G., “to learn the cigar maker's trade from his uncle Theodore.” ‘The original shop was at 910 P street. Later Henry hung out his own sign, in 1888, at 504 Ninth street. He had himself, one cigarmaker and an ambition. By the time Manila meant more than & source for good tobacco, Henry had one of the finest-equipped cigar manufactories in the United States. By 1912 he had expanded to 5 floors in front, 4 behind and employed 150 men and women. He manufactured 130 brands of cigars, which went in the shop by numbers, and every hotel and club in the Capital featured from was many - WASHINGTON, D. 2 to 25 of Ofterdinger’s private make smokes. ‘The 1 ar sent 50 of his men to the front; 60 women—one of them Ofter- dinger’s best roller—went into Gov- ernment service.

But there were still a few sticklers left who demanded hanc-made cigars in Washington. They specified stock, size, style and wrappers.
