Carelessness by pedestrians was blamed as the principal cause of acci- dents by Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer during testimany before a House subcommittee on appropria- tions in recent hearings on the 1938 District appropriation bill. Van Duzer pointed out that between January 1 and February 11 of this year there were 19 traffic fatalities, 15 of which were the fault of the victims themselves—all pedestrians. Chairman Collins insisted the “pe- destrian does not have a chance,” but Van Duzer was equally as insistent he does “if he will take it.” Death Toll Drop Claimed. Va_. Duzer also pointed out that the death toll from traffic accidents has decreased in recent years and ate tributed that record to the revocation of drivers’ permits in speeding cases, a continuous safety educational came paign and the operation of traffic lights. Collins, however, continued to insist pedestrians do not have “a chance.” “I usually ride, but I walk quite frequently,” he said, “and it s.ems to me that, at least at intersecti.ns, the pedestrian does not have a chance.” He said he thought the safest place for a pedestrian to cross the street would be in front of the Washington Hotel where two street car loading platforms are located. “That is where I in ariably do cross,” he declared. Discuss Traffic Light. Collins and Van Duzer also engaged In a discussion of the value of the traffic light on Massachusetts avenue near the British Embassy. The dia= logue was as follows: Mr. Collins—I have noticed the | traffic light on Massachusetts avenue | near the embassy section. | Mr. Van Duzer—At Waterside drive | and Massachusetts avenue? | Mr. Collins—It stays on there for about two minutes in the middle of the day. I was wondering what is the necessity for that light. Mr. Van Dugzer—For traffic coming out of the park. Mr. Collins—Nobody comes out of the park. Mr. Van Duzer—Yes they do. Mr. Collins—I drive along there all the time and I have never seen any- body. Mr. Van Duzer—That is a vehicle- | actuated light and it is always green on Massachusetts avenue unie some- | body comes out of the park and actu- : ates that light. | {D. C. HEAT HELD FORCING | 9-MONTH SCHOOL YEAR Ballou Tells Engel in Hearings Why Capital Does Not Have Longer Terms. Washington youth is indebted to the Capital's sizzling and humid Summers for a 9-month school year instead of the 10-month year which s0 many other citiés have. That, at least, is what Supt. Frank W. Ballou said in answer to a ques- tion by Representative Albert J. Engel of Michigan in the hearings on the District supply bill reported yesterday. “Why should not Washington have 10 months of school to get these youngsters off the streets?” Engel asked. Ballou replied that the nine- month length was adopted here be- cause of the extreme heat of July and September and because Con- gressmen and Government workers often take their children out of school early and enroll them late. PEOPLE’S COUNSEL PAY IS DENIED IN BILL Overlapping of Duties With Pub- lic Utilities Commission Cited by Subcommittee. The office of People’s Counsel would be left vacant, by refusal of an appro- priation for the job, under the terms of the 1938 District supply bill as reported yesterday to the House. The Collins subcommittee stated that testimony given at the hearings was to the effect there is overlapping in the duties of this position and the dutles of the Public Utilities Commis- sion. William A. Roberts resigned the post last November 1. Since then the President has made no public move to name a successor. e WOMEN OSTEOPATHS WILL PLANT 7 TREES Ceremonies Will Commemorate Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, Pro- fession’s Founder.

The inclusion of & putt-putt boat among the requested science equipment in the school budget was a source of amazement to Chairman Ross A. Col- lins of the Subcommittee on Appropri- ations—until he found out it was a toy. Investigating items requested for instruction in rudi- mentary science in the elementary schools, Collins wanted to know where the schoal officials planned to use the boat. “Nearly all the members of this committee are fishermen, or think we are, and we are wondering, if these' !4}, Comn Ave the justification for| putt-putt boats were purchased, if we might not go fishing with you,” he asked.

The Tareyton ‘Noted Foot Authority Tells How to End Corn Misery Corns, Soft Corns, Callouses and Bunions are the most common forms of foot trouble. To take a corn out without removing the cause—friction and pressure of the shoe—is a waste of time and money. An ounce of prevention is often- times worth a pound of cure. Again, people cannot be too careful about the kind of corn remedy they use.
