When the motorman saw the wagon it
was too late to prevent an accident. The

throw its occupants to the street. Mrs
Radtke was bruised. while her husband
escaped injury She would not go to a

Failure of a street car airbrake to work

Passengers on the cars were alarmed
over the trouble and two women on one

That the public school and the motion
picture theater are factors which should
not be overlooked in campaign for the
determination of flies is the conclusion
reached by health officials of Cleveland
Ohio. where several anti-fy crusades
have been conducted.
Both factors are counted upon by The
Star to bring about results of far-reach-
ing importance in the educational cam
pa!gn now being waged for the eradica-
ton Of the disease-spreading insects in
Washington. A film depicting the life
cycle of the winged marauders and the
methods by which they carry disease has
been acquired by The Star. and is at
tracing great interest at local motion
picture houses. where 1t is being shown
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-24

The next step in the educational propa-
ganda will be to interest school children
in the Importance of their cooperating
in the undertaking to abolish the ny. IL
Illustrated posters containing suggestions
as to how the development of the insects
may be held in check are being prepared
for The Star. and will be distributed
throughout the schools.
In paper describing the Cleveland
campaign, Jean. Dawson, writer or
health topics. refers to the Importance OF
obtaining the corporation of schools and
moving pictures in such undertakings
Certain it is. with the means now al
hand" states Miss Dawson. amy COM
munity may become fyless by securing
the cooperation of its people. In at
tempting to weld the efforts of com
muntiy together the school and the mo-
ton picture theater are factors which
must not be overlooked.
THE magazine and the newspaper each
ha sits clientele. and their influence no one
will attempt to deny. Pictures speak to
every element of society. The great diff
ficulty is to make a film that will teach
it's lesson and at the same time be anus
ing enough to hold its place on vaude-
vile program.

Possibilities Suggested.

Infinite possibilities lie in interesting
the school children in campaign against
the fly. First, because the schools reach
all classes of people, and second. because
of the great fund of undirected energy
of youth that may be utilized for the
good Of the community
Miss Dawson believes that the fly dan
ger will be greatly lessened IL house
holders will see to 1t that the insects do
not feed or breed on their premises; that
fly traps are kept in the back yards SO as
to catch the pests on their way from the
breeding places to the homes. and that
trade is withheld from dealers who permit
flies to swarm in their diaries, restau-
rants markets and bakeries.

The Districts Population

There need be no anxiety on the part
Of those who hope to see the District
srow in population on the score Of the
decreases reported from some of the
precincts OF the city as result of the
recent police census Doubtless the
total enumeration will show a net in
crease of several thousand and the
precinct losses will be found to have
been more than made up by gains in
the suburban sections 1t is but neces-
sary to ride through the outer por-
lions of the District TO note the tend
ency of the population away from the
center This is wholesome tendency
and is to be welcomed making for
the greater health of the community.
The movement from the central urban
sections to the suburban portions of
the District gives to a larger number
of people amplitude of space in the
home environment, which is conducive
to better living. Ultimately this move
ment will reach its maximum, and the
available territory will be covered
with subdivisions and homes, and then
undoubtedly it will extend beyond the
boundaries of the District into Mary
land and Virginia, even as 1t has al
ready begun to do. The District is to
be congratulated upon the centrifugal
movement. and as long as the street
railway facilities are maintained ade
quately there is no reason to look for
other than good results from it, The
police census figures will obviously
prove an interesting study this year
as bearing upon the steady shifting
of the population.

aroused and like large drag net is
swooping toward the individual offenders
AS conditions become better. as more
persons-both pedestrians and vehicle
drivers-become more and more careful
the carelessness of the individuals becomes
accentuated. and at the same time people
become less willing to tolerate conditions
which make them and theirs liable to
accidents, it is pointed out. AS soon as
this spirit has reached a maximum point,
it is said accidents will be very few and
far between.
In substantiation of this prophecy, one
of it's makers pointed out the present at
titude of the public with that of several
years ago regarding cruelty to animals
Less Cruel to Animals.
"A few years ago it was nothing to see
a man beating a horse or dog; no one
seemed TO worry if boys stoned a cat to
death. and the viviseetiOn of insects was
a pastime for children which no one
bothered to stop. But now. look at the
change which has taken place. Let a
man go out in public place and attempt
to beat severely "a dog or a horse In a
few minutes usually some one will take
active measures to stop him. The same
thing will usually happen in the other
cases.
but at the present time We seem to
look upon accidents as rather necessary
evils We read of a man being run over
and killed and then after exploring the
gruesome details turn to the next page
and forget 1t. We never halt for mo-
ment and think that his suffering ana
the suffering of his family might have
been prevented. Only when we are
brought face to face with an accident do
We realize just how terrible these things
are.
when one happens to be present at
the time of an accident and actually sees
the mangled form lifeless face he is
horror stricken and feels faint But
surely all of us do not have to go through
this experience to learn the necessary
lessons regarding safety.
Building UP Public Sentiment.
Il cannot believe but that in short
space Of time public sentiment will cry
out against accidents and that we soon
shall have no such record as that of last
year. with it's thirty deaths from traffic
accidents. OF course. it will take years to
build up such sentiment against acct
dents as exists against cruelty to ami
mails. and it must, of course. be done
principally through the education of the
children. 1t is. however, a work well
worth the effort
Additional plans for the education of
children and also for the enforcement of
the traffic regulations are now being con-
sidered. Probably no definite step will be
taken, however, until reports are re-
ceived from other cities concerning what
has been done in the matter of street
safety.
