TRAFFIC TROUBLES.
Railroad Gates Let Down on PeddIer
 on Park Street.

Greet excitement prevailed at the railroad crossing on Park street last evening. The gateman at the cross ing let the gates down just as a ped- dler was driving onto the railroad tracks and the peddler stopped in time to avoid an accident. He left a little girl seated on the wagon while he went to give the gateman an ar gument. A freight engine came along and frightened the horse. which start ed to run away. The little girl was thrown off the wagon and fortunately escaped with a, few bruises. The horse dashed down the railroad tracks and was finally stopped. The peddler's S name was not obtained.

FIVE CANADIANS
 TAKE 100 GERMANS
Enemy Comes Tumbling Out of Trenches When Dominion Sol
 diers Open Fire.

With the Canadian Forces in Pi- cardy, Tuesday, Aug. 13, (By Cana dian Press. )-During the opening days of the present offensive five members of a well known Canadian battalion captured more than 100 Germans. In a dense fog early one morning the party became lost and in groping their way about came suddenly upon a fully manned Ger man trench. A corporal in the party gave the order to fire. This show of force brought more than 100 Ger mans, one after another, tumbling up out of the trench to surrender. The five men then marched the Germans to the rear.
 The Canadian contingent takes pride in having established a record three-da advance of 22,000 yards.
 When the tanks went into action on the Canadian part of the front a piper of Manitoba unit sat astride the tank 'Domfnion." He came through unscatched, skiring his pi- broch all the while. Another Canadian piper was killed leading his battalion into action.

SPANISH INFLUENZA REACHES OUR SHORE
Four Die on Voyage, Ten Others
 Seriously Il

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 14.-A dis ease, which officers of a NorWegian steamship which arrived here yeSter- day insisted was the Spanish inf1uen- ga, caused the death of four persons on the voyage. When the vessel reached this port yesterday ten men and women severely i'll and exhibiting all the symptoms of the disease which caused the death of the other four. were taken ashore for treatment. One of these patients Mrs. Jensine Olsen, who lived in Flint, Mich, and was on her way to join her husband, died in the Norwegian Hospital soon after she reached that institution.
 Whether the disease was the true Spanish influenza was not officially determined yesterday, but Dr. Ed ward G. Cornwell of 1,218 Jackson avenue, Brooklyn. who treated the patients from the ship, said yester- day that the immediate cause of Mrs. Olsen's death was brOncial pneumO- nia. AS far as he could determine he added, no symptoms of Spanish in- Huenza had been evident in any of the cases, and he was treating them on diagnosis of pneumonia
 At the hospital it was learned that the patients had not been isolaed, and, it was asserted, they would not have passed Quarantine had they been suffering with true Spanish influenza. One of them is Arvid Sunddstrom, 17 years old, whose fa- ther makes his home at the Hotel Lorraine.
 Late last night it was said that all the cases with one exception were diagnosed as pneumonia and that the exception was a child afflicted with bronchial pneumonia. It was also said, however, that some of the pas sengers on board asserted that during the voyage 200 passengers had been sick at one time, the illness lasting several days
 When asked whether the illness might not have been seasickness the passengers said that the illness was accompanied by a high fever. One of the patients in the Norwegian hospital, an educated woman with two children, told the hospital phy- sician that she was sure that the ill., ness was not seasickness. Her children, she said, were taken i'll with it and they both had high fever. The physician in charge at the hospital said that evidently there had been some kind of an epidemic on board. but he was unable to tell the exact nature of it because he did not have the history of the patients.
 The officers of the ship said yes terday that the disease was brought on board by 8 woman passenger in the third class who came from Fin land. After the first victim died four days out from the port one of the crew, an assistant cook, who look ed after the third class passengers, contracted the disease and also died, and was buried at sea. The Spanish influenza, which was said to have really started among the Russian armies on the eastern frontier in the Winter of 1915. commenced with pains followed by fever and delinum

Practice of Medicine Guessworlx.

It has been said that the practice of medicine at best is simply a game of guesswork, because the action of drugs varies to a great degree upon different individuals; but when a medicine has lived for forty years, constantly growing in sales and popu- larity there can be no greater proof of it's merit. Such a medicine is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that famous old root and herb reme- dy, now recognized from shore to shore as the standard remedy for fe- male ills.-advt.

We Need Better Inspection
of Scales and Measures
By EARL GOODWIN.
Under the Cosser BIN We Can Get Whereas Present Reg
tons Are Anticipated.

When you pay for food coal ice at the present high
prices you want full weight.
There an officer Of the District government charged
with protecting you against short weight but under present
conditions he cannot act with complete efficiency
Fer instance he cannot tell your iceman to scale
graduated in pounds instead of being graduated in FIVE
pound jumps and in consequence your iceman short
weight you and neither of you know it. Also can under
pay him and neither of you viii know it.
The poor who buy coal in small quantities pay for by
the ba by the bushe and because there is law de-
ing that all coal must be sold by weight outrageous prof
iteerHg can be practiced upon the poor.
When you tell your iceman you want "2ocent piece,
there is law requiring him to put into your refrigerator
definite amount of lee In other words there no law
curing that ice shall be sold by weight.
There law requiring that fruit and vegetable con-
tanners shall be of standard size.
There law to prevent air from being pumped into
your gasolene tank, instead Of gasolene.
In brief the weights and measures of the District of Co
umba being inspected under anquated regulations and
because this VOTELESS community must go to Con-
ess to bring eur weights and measures and regulations
down to date
George NJ Roberts Superintendent of Weights, Meas
and Markets has drafted proposed change IN the law
and this draft has already been introduced In the House by
Congressman Crosser of Ohio The bill is aimed to correct
all Of the local defects and to do away with all the old mis-
takes.
1t seems absurd that to change the iceans scales in
Washington we have put into motion the machinery
which declares war; but at present can't help it 1t
seems odd that order to require coal dealers to mark
on small bags of coal coke exactly how pounds
contained therein much agtate the House and Senate
to action and then get the Presidents signature to the
crossed BILL.
But we have to do it. long Congress remains our
board of aldermen and therefore trust that Congress viii
take early action on this bill of Mr. Crosser It is much
needed reform and should be attended to promptly.
