Report Details Work Done.

In his report, which was most graf

Mr.. Weir gave details of the tremen-
dous amount of work that had been
accomplished by the War Camp Com
muDity Service in and around Wash
ington since its organization in 1917
II was brought out that seven clubs
were still being conducted in the city.
but that all of the restaurants. with
the exception of one for girls at 18th
and New York avenue northwest, had
been closed.
Figures showing the number of
events of all descriptions, together
with the cost for same and the COL
lections and subscriptions received by
the organization. were given in detail
A long list of local organizations of
all kinds and denominations that have
been cooperating with the War
Camp Community Service during the
war. and which are DESTROYS that the
service be continued in the future,

Housing Work May Be Taken Up.
In answer to an appeal from the
colored branch of the service for bet
ter housing accommodations for colored
people in the District, Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins said that she had been in
communication with an architect ex-
pert on such matters, and that within
the next three days plans would be
submitted to her giving details OF
how blocks of sanitary. we'll built
houses have been erected by the
Remington Arms Company of Bridge
port, Conn. These houses have not
only been of great benefit to the
workmen, said Mrs. Hopkins. but were
erected in three months.
The War Camp Community Service
has never taken up the housing
proposition, but in case the service
is continued this important problem
may become one of the features of
the organizations business.

THE MOST DANGEROUS
OF ALL DISEASES

No organs of the human body are so
important to health and long life as the
kidneys. When they slow up and COM
mence to lag in their duties, look out!
Danger is in sight.
Find out what the trouble is-with-
out delay. Whenever you feel nervous,
weak, dizzy, suffer from sleeplessness,
or have pains in the back, wake up at
once. Your kidneys need help. These are
signs to warn you that your kidneys
properly. They are only half doing
their work and are allowing impurities
TO accumulate and be converted into
uric acid and other poisons, which
are causing you distress and will de-
stroy you unless they are driven from
your system.

Great relief from pain in neuritis of
the arm has been gained from the use
of a sling described by DR.. r. T. Will
hanson in the British Medical Jour
nal. The sling passes over the Shout
der of the unaffected arm and under
the elbow of the painful arm in such
a way that it slightly raises it. This,
by raising the shoulder and collar
bone, takes off the pressure upon the
nerve roots and prevents the weight
OF the arm from dragging on these
nerves.

wheelless railroad line from Paris to
Argenteuil. Unfortunately, the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 then broke out
and his experimental railroad at de la
Jonchere was ruined by the Germans
and Girard himself was killed. Never
theless, the principle had been proven
sound by actual practice. There is no
reason why with modern methods and
improvements it cannot be made a huge
success.
NJ. Girard's TAIN had two flat rails,
and each car had four hydraulic skates
or shoes which replaced the usual
wheels. It will be noted that water
pressure is supplied to the shoe which
fills the interior fully. AS soon as the
pressure becomes high enough, it is
obvious that the water must escape by
raising the shoe clear from the rail
providing enough pressure is used
While the water escapes it will be
readily understood that the shoe itself
can nowhere touch the rail proper Ir
other words, the shoe floats on thir

ard railway car rapidly over track
so easily does such a railway operate
The reason is of course that no metal
of the train touches the track; there
fore nearly all friction is eliminated.
By actual experiments it has been
shown that NJ. Girards cars could be
moved with a weight onc-half OF one
thousandth of the weight Of the car.
In other words, a railroad car weighing
several tons can be pushed along rapid
ly with an expenditure Of a few pounds
Of energy The water film itself is OF
course exceedingly thin, measuring
only from one-half to three quarters

the latter connected. 1t Is. of course,

should have an exceedingly smooth
metal rail. Also where the rails

a conservative figure Nor is it
dangerous to run such wheelless
gliding trains at such speeds, for two
reasons. One is that there is no fric-
ton. There is no wear and tear of
material, and if the flat rail with it's
guard rails is constructed right, it will
be impossible for the shoes to jump
the track And now we come to the
most important point as far as the
speed is concerned.
These trains, it was found, could be
stepped almost instantly and very
simply by cutting off the water press
urc. This manmuvre brings the hy-
draulic shoe in direct contact with the
rail and great friction sets in. No
brakes are needed to stop such a train.
The train is its own brake Nor is
that all Such trains can be stopped
where the rails dip at an incline of
40 per cent, a thing unheard of on
regular railways with wheels. You
see, in a train Of this kind there is
nothing to roll end the minute the
water pressure is taten off, the train
must stop at once, even at the worst
incline. inversely if the right tractive
method is used to propel the train, ii
