Pullman Will Enforce Safe And
Sane New Years Eve Festivities
Chief Of Police Will See that
Rowdyism, Is Abolished in
Downtown Section-Mer-
rymakers Will Seek Shell
ter in Cafes and Private
Residences. 7

Washington will have to bid old 1915 q
safe and sane" farewell next Friday
night.
Maj. Raymond w. Pullman, superin-
tendent Of police. said yesterday that the
efforts OF the police In recent years to
abolish rowdyism In the midnight cele-
brities on New Year'y Eve will be re-
doubled this year.
A special squad of Lolice. made up o.;
men from the various precincts. will re-
enforce the patrolmen IN the downtow wn
section to keep the menymakers from ye-
coming too boisterous.
II is expected the restrictions on street
carousng will crowd the hotel dining
rooms and downtown cafes. For the
benefit of those who would be sports for
a night, we print herewith a list Of the
expenses that accompany the average
New Years Eve party.
Mai Pullman expects that. as usual
there will be those who will imbibe too
freely while brooding over the European
war and other events OF the dying year.
These devotees OF Bacchus will receive
little consideration at the hands Of the
police II they fail to watch their step"
Harmless celebrants in the residen-
tial neighborhoolds will not be perse-
cuted by the police. but they. too. must
be careful In congratulating old Father
Time on the completion of another year.
A in the past few years. the loud
blowing of horns and other annoying
noises will be barred.
The effect of these restrictions In re-
cent years has been TO revolutionize the
manner of bidding the old year farewell
and welcoming the new.
The great mass OF people who could
not AFFORD to pay SO for the reservation
OF a table at some fashionable resta urant
have. as long as the Oldest Inhabitants
can remember. gathered on the streets
In their respective neighborhoods and
welcomed the new year in-perhaps Q
little noiser than do the devotees of the
swell cafes.
The ban on horns and other annoy

Design OF BRIDGE over
ROCK creek CRITICISED
Fine Arts Commission Says New Penn
sylvania Avenue Structure Does Not
Harmonic with Surroundings.

A mild criticism of the architecture
of the new Pennsylvania svsnue
bridge. which soon 10 to be opened.
Is contained in the latest report of
the Commission Of Fine Arts. made
public yesterday. The rebuks for the
simplicity of the new bridge comes
In connection with a discussion Of the
plan of joining Potomac and Rock
Crek parks
architectural possibilities of the Penn
sylvania avenue bridge be considered
IN connection with the proposed i'm
provements In the Rock Creek Valley
reads the report. That advice was
not followed. and. as a result. that
particular bridge Is out of harmony
with the Q street bridge, with which
1t comes in contrast. Then, too, the
construction Of the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. bridge is such that the roadway
underneath IL must be constructed be-
low the flood line.
The commission calls attention to
these facts. so that in future the var
ious authorities having in charge the
building OF the bridges across the
creek may be brought to work in har-
mony with one another. The Con-
necticut avenue bridge should set the
standard OF quality and effect, al
though. of course. designs must and
should vary"
The commission urges swimming
facilities, stating that a majority of
Washingtonians are SO housed as to
require out-of-door exercises AT
the present time this demand is met
only in small part by the parks
continues the report. (which consists
mainly of driveways. As result
people are forced TO go by rail con-
siderable distances to get swimming

EAT LESS MEAT

IF KIDNEYS HURT
Says a tablespoonful of Salts
flushes Kidneys, stopping

Meat forms Uric Acid, which
excites Kidneys and
WeakenS Bladder.

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat eHcites the
kidneys. they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog UP and cause all sorts OF
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges. severe headaches, acid stom-
ach, constipation. torpid liver. sleepless-
ness, bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or IL bladder
bothers you. get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.

acid Of grapes and lemon Juice, COM
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity:

MISS FOLEY LAUGHS
AT KIDNAPPING FEAR
Former Labor's National Peace

Mr.. Fowler was in New York yester-
day trying to locate the young typist.
He charged Government agents with
having taken her from her home to
New York against her will. In the
meantime, Miss Foley was In Washing
ton, having returned here after testi-
flying before the grand jury in New
York.
Miss Foley was employed as a stem
ographer in the Washington office OF

after Its organization last summer and
worked for the organization for several
msnths. She was summoned to testify
as to the character Of letters dictated
to her and the persons, factories and
organizations to whom the letters were
sent The Government introduced this
evidence presumably with an idea of
substantiating it's charge that the coun-
ell was engaged in fomenting strikes
In munitions plants and working up dis
sension in the ranks OF labor organiza-
arms, cartridge and shell factories in
this country.
The young typist declined today to
say anything about her TESTIMONY he
fore the grand jury. she did say. how
ever. that she was handed subr oena
at her home on Monday and left imme-
diately for New York. where she testi-
fed on Tuesday. She returned to

a man or woman would stay true to his
country in his painting or sculpture
he or she should lay the firm founda-
ton of future work right here.

come a painter to spend a number Of
years studying at home, taking, if she
can, trips about her own country, for
