A. J. MANGUM DROWNED
while ON CUNNING TRIP
Fireman in Employ Of Garry Ice
Cream Company Meets Death in
Eastern Branch.

Andrew J. Mangum. forty-seven
years old, a fireman in the employ of
the Carry Ice Cream Company, who
lived at 80 18th street southeast, was
drowned in Eastern branch, while on
cunning trip Monday. His body was
recovered not far from the Jail last
night by George Ratherdale, a jail
employe, and turned over to police of
the harbor precinct.
Mangum left home Monday morning
about 4 o'clock. taking his gun and
ammunition and going to the marsh
to shoot reedbirds. His failure to
return home alarmed his wife. and
yesterday the police were asked to
institute search for him. The boat
from which he had done his shooting
was found tied in the marsh, but no
trace of the gunner or gun was OBJ
tanned.
Police of the harbor precinct made
an unsuccessful attempt to find the
body yesterday afternoon, and last
night about o'clock it was found
by Ratherdale not a great distance
from where a friend of the dead man
found the boat.
An examination of the body at the
morgue failed to disclose any marks
of violence. Coroner hewitt deemed it
to have an autopsy per-
formed. however, and it was perform
ed this afternoon by DR.. William
Browne Carr, deputy coroner.

"LOST TRACTION" CAUSES
WET WEATHER MISHAPS

Police reports of wet weather ac-
cidents generally feature "lost con-
troll as the principal cause OF such
happenings. Such is often the undis-
puted fact, but lost traction" would
be a more suitable expression to use
in describing the majority of them,
as the greatest contributor Of these
accidents is the careless driver who
takes a chance in wet weather with
out putting on chains.
AS a result. when he gets in a tight
place there is nothing to do but to
trust to luck. when even the chain
equipped vehicles of considerate and
careful drivers in front or one side
of him may be damaged through his
neglect. AS now commonly used loss
of control covers multitude of
motor sins. the greatest of which is
loss of traction" condition easily
remedied by the use of skid chains.
Every careful motorist or profess
sional driver uses chains whenever
traction is the least bit doubtful with
bare tires.

ORGANIZING with charter member
ship Of thirty-four. the public health
group Of the City Club held it's first
meeting last night at the clubhouse on
Farragut Square.
Health has been unusually good in
Washington during the last few
months" said Emile Berliner. chairman
OF the group, land it is rapidly becom-
ing known as one Of the healthiest cities
in the country.
Mr.. Berliner, sis spending 100000 a
year to fight tuberculosis. and yet the
death rate instead of dropping is actu-
ally mounting. One Of the reasons is
that the health literature in that city
is not specific: it deals in generalities
Washington is spending only about
$4,000 year in its campaign, and the
death rate is declining. The health au-
thorities stress the points Of vital i'm
portance in Washington
Tribute Paid to Fowler.
Mr.. Berliner paid high tribute to DR..
William c. Fowler, the health officer
Of the District. He said that Dr. Fow-
Ter was working hard to improve health
marked success.
In connection with the milk that is
shipped into the District, Mr.. Berliner
said that he was confident that Con-
greSS curing the coming session would
enact some legislation which would raise
the standard Of milk sold here. and that.
in his opinion, it was not necessary for
the group to act in the matter
A committee composed of Mr. Ber-
liner and William Muehleisen was ap-
pointed to draft charter and bylaws
The committee is expected to have its
report ready for the next meeting Of
the group, to be held Tuesday night,
