Counsel. made public today, owners
and agents of real estate will be COM
PEELED to remove real estate signs from
all public spaces. The District appro-
priation bill provides that hereafter
no signs or advertisements shall be
located on the siding or parking" Cor
poration Counsel Thomas was asked by
the Commissioners whether the law
affects signs located on public space
prioi to the passage of the act. His
answer is that the law requires the
removal of all signs at present exist

Prior to the enactment of the District
appropriation bill the location of one
real estate sign on a siding or parking
was permitted under the police regu-
lations, while there wac no limit to the
number of signs that could be erected
on the property. The present law limits
the number of signs on any lot, piece.
or parcel of land abutting on a street,
avenue, or road in the District" 10

The Commissioners are authorized TO
use their police authority to require
tie removal of any sign or advertise
ment in violation of this provision. the
penalty for noncompliance with which
is fine of not less than S nor more
than So.
Plans are being made by the Commits
sioners for the issuance of permits for
the erection of the signs in order that
there may be record Kept OF the
number on each piece of property. The
Corporation Counsel is of the opinioa
that a fee can be charged sufficiently
large to cover the actual cost of issuing
such permits.

Menace Of Wood Alcohol.

The widespread discussion which fol-
lowed the series Of deaths in Berlin as .
consequence OF the drinking of liquors
contaminated with wood alcohol has
again attracted attention to its poisonous
character. There has been considerable
difference OF opinion az to whether the
poisonous effect OF this substance is
actually due to the alcohol itself or to
some impurities, which are almost in
variably present in all except the most
refined products. There is a scarcity of
facts regarding the actual behavior OF
wood alcohol in the animal body, SO that
the underlying causes of its extremely
poisonous character are by no means
clearly understood.
With respect to ordinary grain alcohol,
the component Of our alcoholic beverages,
the facts are better understood. Ordinary
alcohol is, when taken in moderate guam
titles, rapidly burned up in the body
This fact has been demonstrated by. num-
erous experiments. With wood .alcohol,
however, the case seems to beGdifferent
hOSoiuiiS w thO iSoSht iuNestlghllOuS IN
the Institute for the Fermentation In
dustries at Berlin.
1t has been shown that when wood
alcohol is administered to animals it may
not be eliminated completely even at the
end of two days. The repeated ingestion
Of considerable doses of wood alcohol may
lead to a dangerous accumulation thereof
in the body. This factor has heretofore
not been duly appreciated.
These subtle dangers associated with the
use of wood alcohol deserve widespread
notice because of the increasing danger
| its unsupported entrance as an adulterant
of the cheaper grades of distilled liquors
| and certain medicinal products. The in
satiable demand for cheap liquors among
certain of the degraded classes, says the
Journal of the american Medical as
sociation, and the difficulty with which
| the admixture of the inexpensive wood
alcohol is detected, provide constant
| temptation to the INSCRIPTIONS dealer and
menace to the health of certain classes.
However Objectionable adulteration may
be on general principles, it becomes far
worse when some subtle danger is harbored
| therein.

Harvard Professor Sends Sound Of
Voice Thirty-five Miles.

Assistant Professor G. W. Pierce of
the department of physics at Harvard
has devised new wireless telephone
instrument which may eventually revo-

communication. The new instrument
has already received the hearty in

Professor Pierce was the guest of Mr..
Hammond at his Gloucester laboratory
Mt Fresh Water Cove recently, where
a series of experiments was conducted
with the new apparatus.
The wireless power was concentrated
about fifty feet above sea level. By
