GIVES SUGGESTIONS
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Mitchell May of New York Tells
of Danger at Turns
on the Road. 49,.

The motorist who has safely rounded
the bend in road with which he is very
familiar, hundred times. says Mitchell
May, secretary of state of New York. is
apt to think the next experience will be
as free from danger as the others have
been and that there will be no obstruc-
ton. But. sooner or later. the unex-
pected happens when nothing save great
skill and alertness will avert bad acct
dent. And while it is true that in every
instance. and at all times, q. motorist
upon the road Is dependent not only on
his own actions but on the actions OF
others, this is especially true OF corners.
The conservative driver never takes q
right-handed corner at anything ap-
preaching fast speed, and he always
treats a curve of any kind as If there
might be an obstruction of some kind al
an awkward point just out of sight. He
approaches the corner at speed which
will enable him to pull up before the
center ia reached
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-08-30
Take Turns Slowly.

The best method of taking a corner
is more easily demonstrated on the road
than in writing, but the rule of reducing
the sharpness of the turns as much as
possible by going wide on the outside
Of the approaching and the leaving
should never be forgotten.
Another point which should be remem-
bereG about corners is that the most
dangerous are not necessarily those
which are most acute. and so those that
are often called very bad corners
that is, bad from the acuteness of the
corner-are not really the most danger
GUS because an abrupt right hand turn
compels traffic to slow down for reasons
other than those connected with the
chances of meeting oncoming vehicles.
Most accidents occur at corners which
are neither very acute nor otherwise
extreme; for a gradual turn allows I'M
impeded vision some distance ahead,
whereas very acute corner compels
moderation and speed.

The property was sold by solomon & Levi, and is now occupied by the Scales Piano company. located at 2O17 First ave- nue. The lot goes back 1Ssh feet to Mor- ris avenue.

ID AWARD WADUCT CONTRACT BY AUG. 1 The Contractors Have Until July 25 to Submit
 Bids

Contractors are now working on bids for the First avenue viaduct and have until July 25 to submit them, according Julian Kendrick yesterday from Engineer W. H. Courtenay of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. It is expected con- tract for the work will be awarded not later than August l, work to begin soon thereafter.
 Late yesterday afternoon Mir Kendrick received the blue prints of the yiaduct plans for his examination and approval He had not time to look over them last night, but stated that there was little doubt but what they would meet his ap- proval as he has been keeping closely in touch with the railroad engineers as the plans were being drafted. In the let ter, Mr Kendrick is informed that pro- vision has been made for the connec- duct Mr. Kendrick has been contend ing for this point. The approach to the viaduct would have cut off Twenty-sixth street unless side approach of short distance is provided for from that street. running up to the First avenue approach. The railroads at first contended that this Twenty-sixth street approach was impracticable on account of large abut- ting property damages which would re- suit. but it appears they have over come these.
 Considerable work has already been done at the viaduct site. The ground has been cleared and the street car tracks have been moved to the side so that it is believed that after the contract is once awarded the work of actual construction will soon begin.

attendant physicians stated last night that they believed within the next week or 10 days Dr. Cunningham would be at his regular duties again.
 Dr. J. D. Bowling. who is attending pr. Cunnin gham. stated last night that 1t would be impossible to explain pr. Cunningham illness so the public would understand He stated that his condition apparently had been caused by overwork, as Dr. Cunningham dur ing the past several weeks has been very active in connection with his offi- cial duties as city health officer and in his profession. Dr. Bowling gave the impression that the attendant physi- clans were somewhat puzzled over what was wrong with their patient.
 "Dr. Cunningham was taken suddenly and seriously ill.," said pr. Bowling, and bad one or two hemorrhages. or course, a hemorrhage is always danger ous in itself
 "However. the hemorrhages have stopped and pr. Cunningham this aft ernoon appeared to be resting much easier After consultation among sev- eral physicians we feel that he is greatly improved and that there IS lit tie further danger at present. If his condition continues to improve l see no reason why he should not be out within a week or so.'
 Dr. Cunningham was about his usual duties Wednesday and Wednesday aft ernoon was at his offices at the health department at the city hall preparing his official city health report for June. His illness seized him very suddenly, 1t is said, during the night.

DETAILED REPORT
 ON TYPHOID FEVER Dr. Cunningham Files June Report With Commission IS NO EPIDEMIC NOW Investigation Shows Fever Much More Prevalent Among Users of Pri-
 vate Cow Than Patrons
 of Dairies
IS NO EPIDEMIC NOW.

There Is no epidemic of typhoid fever In Birmingham. While there are a good many cases of the disease, it is scattered through all sections of the city. states Dr. R. M. Cunningham city health of ficer. in his report for the month of June. made to the city commissioners yesterday.
 Aside from the startling feature of the report which shows that typhoid fever germs were found in the water of the Birmingham Waterworks com pany on the Northside on June 2S the report shows exceptional good condi- tions of the citys health. Dr. Cunning ham states as his belief from exhaus- tive investigation that the house fly and dry closets are the principal cause of typhoid at present.
 His report goes more fully into typhoid conditions than anything else, as for the past few weeks ne has been conducting special Investigations along this line. His summary of conditions. containing the main facts of the sub sidiary reports of Prof. E. M. Duncan. city bacteriologist and Sanitary In- spector Walter Burson, is as follows:

Exhibit B, the report of Mr. w. C.. Burson. chief sanitary inspector. Jrxyh ~ of Mr E Duncan, chief milk and meat inspector and bacteriologist.
 Exhibit D. the report of the bacteri- ologist of the bacteriological examina- ton of ice and water.
 The annual death rate for whites In the month of June is SC; for blacks. 26.60; total. 1872, exclusive of nonresi- dents, of which there were 26. These figures show an almost satisfactory death rate for white people. A dimin- ished death rate for blacks. Tubercu- losis leads with II white and 24 black deaths, and violence next with 16 whites and 15 blacks Of the ordinary communicable diseases there were four whie and one black death from typhoid fever and three white and three black deaths from whooping cough.
