Learn the Traffic Rules! !

Judging from communications received
by The Star recently there remain some
people in the District who are not ac-
auainted with the traffic regulations and
whose instruction on this score is there
fore incomplete. To reduce the number
OF those who are thus unfamiliar with
the rules The Star has arranged with
the police department for wider distrl-
button Of the lit lie booklets which relate
the various resolutions. They may be OBJ

When DR.. friedman came to this
country he brought no such credentials
as to Justify his acceptance on faith. If
he had agreed at the outset to explain his
mode of treatment, to announce to a
medical committee the precise character
of the serum and the nature OF it's path
illogical action. it would have been entire
" proper to permit him to test it, using
such subjects as were willing to submit
to the experiment. But he refused to sub
ject himself to such restrictions and con-
ditions and insisted upon working in his
own way. keeping secret the nature or
the serum and the formula Of its reac-
ton. Nobody can tell today what harm
has been done or what good has been ac-
complished by these treatments. 1t may
be that no lives have been placed In
jeopardy. because probably in all the
cases treated there was no hope of re-
covery. Nevertheless. II there has been
any case of an actual acceleration of the
disease In consequence of these injections
harm has been wrought and action should
he taken to put stop to any further ex-
perimenting exploitation.
Any one With so-called cure for tuber-

ard on the eve Of an election was always
confident of success. His summing up
was i'm this sentence: We've got EN-.
boys-if they don't buy US.
Mr. Wilson expects a tariff bill TO suit
him IL money does not change the situa-
ton His Information is that money Is
being used in quantities TO create sentl-
men: throughout the country and Wash
!ngton is full Of Lobbyists for the pur-
pose of influencing Congress to amend
the Underwood bill in important particu-
lars. He denounces the movement. and
asks the public to take note of il
Prominent senators and representatives.
however, have felt no such pressure IL
seems not to have been i'm evidence while
the tariff bill, was passing throush the
House. and several senator's DESTROYS OF

They put their Judgment against the

that men who have spent their time in
mills and factories. in sugar cane and
beet fields. and on sheep ranges, are bet

But whether NJ. Wilson is duly or IN
duly alarmed, what he says should fix

tariff bill framed and passed upon the
merits of the question: and it has been
expressly SEATED both by Mr.. Wilson in
form that tariff revision need not and
should not take the form of destruction
to any legitimate American industry.

The PROVISION Of Sanitary Homes.

II will oe to the advantage of the city
ff the enterprise OF furnishing small
dwellings, for those now resident In tho
insanitary alleys is financed by means of
Il large number % small subscriptions to
the construction fund. This is practical
philanthropy in whc. as man. as pos
sible Of the citizens should take part.
The money thus subscribed will draw an
assured interest at good rate and will
be working TO the advantage Of the com
munity by improving the living condi-
tons OF the poor. 1t is to everybody's
interest TO abate the alley nuisance by
eliminating the noisome slums and sub
stitutins clean homes where people OF
small means can live deceatly without
among themselves, but among others
mere fortunately situated.
This morning an opportunity was az
forGed to those who are concerned in the
solution OF the alley problem in Wash
.ngton TO take Part in this movement by
subscribing to the fund which il Is now
necessary to raise IN order to insure the
construction of proper dwellings to re-
place those which il is proposed to raze

ieys and courts. 1t is not necessary to
he a large capitalist to engage in this
work. On the contrary as a bus ness
proposition these investments appeal par
ticu!ariy 20 the person Of moderate means
who is seeking safe AID reliable in
ves,ment fer small SURPRISES of capital.
1t IS a duty which the District owes
to itself to provide proper DWELLING
PAGES for those who are now living in
the alley suins. It Is contrary to the
municipal policy for the District itsclf
to build model tenements and houses,
as undertaken in some other communi-
ties and without such official action the
poor must be housed through private en-
terprise. Unless this is done in the
spirit of practical philanthropy the nous
ing is made a matter of grasping in
vestment, every dollar expended upon
alley habitations seeking a large and
ultimately a misunderstanding rate of
interest When the housing of the poor
is accomplished solely through private in
vestment governed by ordinary business
considerations the results are almost
invariably inimical to the public welfare.
In the present case it Is proposed to
destroy large number of alley houses

effect? Unless the housing plan now
proposed as a result of subscriptions to

the places marked for the next advance
will be to drive the denizens into other
Sums. rendering them worse than they
are now or to start the deterioration oil
