B—10 =*= IHABTANTS TOLD OF LOSTBRTHDAY John R. Mahoney, Financial Secretary, Relates Story of Age Mix-up. How he lost his 90th birthday was told the Association of Oldest Inhabi- tants last night by John R. Mahoney, financial secretary. Already he had laid preliminary plans to celebrate that 90th milestone next January 10. As a matter of fact the association was to have had some- thing to do with it, to honor one of their oldest members. But Mr. Mahoney told the organiza- tion last night at Old Union Engine House it was nothing less than the family Bible which tripped him up at his home, 333 C street S.W. and showed him how he had lost that birthday. He had started through the old Bible, printed in 1815, looking for family data. To his astonishment, Mr. Mahoney said, he discovered he was a year older than he had believed for all these years. Instead of being born January 10, 1848, as he had al- ways understood, which would have made him 90 next January, the family Bible showed he was born in 1847, OWN NEGLIGENCE FACTOR IN PEDESTRIAN DEATHS Survey Reveals Cause in 75 Per Cent of Fatalities Here in Last Seven Years. Of the more than 500 pedestrians who have been killed by automobiles in Washington during the last seven years 75 per cent died because of their own negligence, according to a survey released yesterday by the Key- stone Automobile Club. The same percentage applies to the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1937. 13,000 who have been injured, it was MRS. FREDERICK A. 0GG said. The club declared figures for the last fiscal year show that 28 per cent of the pedestrians killed were crossing the street between intersec- tions, 19 per cent were walking in the roadway, 11 per cent were cross- ing at intersections where there were no signals, 8 per cent were children playing in the streets, and 3 per cent ‘were crossing intersections diagonally. Pedestrian deaths represent about five-sevenths of the tota: trafic fa- talities, it was revealed.

Eliot Wright, secretary-treas- — - LOVALON * the 4 purpose vegetable Hair Rinse DINING ROOM PIECES urer of the association, and the oldest member in point of membership, as the principal speaker. Plans were announced by John Cla- gett Proctor, vice president, presiding, and Mr. Wright for the annual ban- quet of the association, to be held at the Raleigh Hotel December 7. The Entertainment and Reception Com- mittees were combined for the occa- sion under the chairmanship of Jesse C. Suter, and including the following: Mr. Proctor, Mr. Wright, James F. Duhamel, Harry A. Burr, Walter E. Allen, Charles A. Langley, John B. Dickman, Elra C. Palmer, Dr, Hugh U. Smith and Theodore W. Noyes, president of the association, ex-officio. Women Again Welcome. In answer to questions, it was an- nounced that “the ladies” will be wel- come again this year, following the precedent-breaking banquet last year, when for the first time in the history of the ‘ancient organization women ‘were present. In his reminiscences of the Civil ‘War, Mr. Wright said he had seen Lincoln, spoken to Grant, and in fact had seen all the Presidents from Lincoln to Roosevelt. “Grant lived around the corner from me in the house in Douglass P17 (on I street between New Jersey avenue and Third street N.W.) that was bought by the people of the United States and presented to him,” the speaker explained. “After he left ‘Washington, the people bought it from him and presented it to Gen. Sherman. Sherman, when he changed his residence, sold it to Matthew G. Emery, who built an addition to it ond lived in the new part, which is now occupied by his daughter who married William M. Hannay.” Mr. Wright recalled memorfes of th> war, when he carried soup made by his mother to the sick in the hos- pitals near his home. He remembered vividly scenes of the sick and the dead in hospitals, and told of having seen Gen. Burnside as he reviewed troops on K street between Fourth and Fifth streets N.W. Elra C. Palmer told of his ad- ventures as a boy in Ohio during the Civil War and reviewed the Battle of Manassas. Dr. Hugh M. Smith re- #ated a story of his father, as a soldier, who had slept one night in a barn at Centerville, and awakened in the morning to find beneath him a snake. Dr. Smith said he still has the snake, preserved. Mr. Duhamel promised to discuss his memories of the war at greater length at a later meeting. Dr. Harry T. Guss pointed out that rep- resentatives of both the North and the South had pronounced the day of the Battle of Bull Run “fatiguing.” Wil- liam F. Sinnott recalled that as a child of 3 in Richmond, Va., bursting am- munition from a Confederate store- house flew all over the city, firing many residences and stores. JAPAN AND CHINA EXPORTS DECREASE Commerce Department Reveals Imports to U. S. Also Dropped in August and September. Sharp decreases in exports to China and Japan, even in the “war neces- sities” class, was revealed yesterday by Secretary of Commerce Roper. ‘The value of exports to China dur- ing September fell to $1,559,000, as ecompared with $6,081,000 in August and with $6,634,000 in September of Jast year. The exports to Japan decreased from $24,644,000 in August to $16,- 842,000 in September. Secretary Roper explained that it s not safe “to go too far in trying to interpret trends on the basis of these figures.” It probably will be & long time before it can be deter- mined whether the reduction in trade *is an episode or a trend,” Mr. Roper explained. He characterized the war in China as “an episode.” He revealed that imports into the United States from China also de- ereased from nearly $8,000,000 in Au- gust to $5,711,000 in September. Im- ports from Japan also decreased slightly, he said. No One Ever Kissed Her Good Night This gentle bile-producer might help* Bad breath is death to romance. And bad breath is frequently caused by con~ stipation. Just as headaches, sleepless~ ness, weakness can be produced by it, or most skin blemishes aggravated by it! Dr. F. M. Edwards, during his years of practice, treated hundreds of women for constipation and frequently noted that relief sweetened the breath and improved well-being and vitality. For his treatment he used a vegetable com- pound—Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. ‘This Iaxative is gentle, yet very effec- tive, because it increases the bile flow . without shocking the intestinal system. Help guard against constipation. Use Dr, Edwards’ Olive Tablets. At all druggists, 15c, 30c and 60c. 'Y%lher secretes from 20 to 30 ounces of every day to aid in the digestion imulate the muscular action conts ng; definitely assists_the bile flow.
