CARS LIKED
IN NORTH
Captain Klotz, Back From In
spection Tour, Will Report
to Commissioners.

One-man car operation in large
cities Of the United States is sue
cessful.
This is expected to be the report
to be made to the District Com
missioners by Capt. r. G. Klotz,
traffic expert of the Public Utilities
Commission, who returned to his
office today after a tour of several
weeks in large Northern cities.
"One-man cars are in use in every
city I visited" Captain Klotz said
today. ''They are being operated
very successfully and have been the
means of reducing operating costs
Of street railway companies con-
siderably.
"I found in these other cities
that when these cars were first In
troduced, citizens vigorously pro-
tested. Since their general use
however, public condemnation has
cooled down, and the people now
really like the system"
Upon the report of Captain klotz
the commission is expected to reach
some decision \on the recent pro-
tests against one man cars here
If Captain KlotZ's report is accepted
the commission viii continue to per-
NIT one man cars. Ever since these
vehicles were put on the streets
here, the commission has been re-
ceiving protests from both indl-
vIduals and organizations.
Captain Klotz said today that he
expected to file q written report
with the commission sometime this
week. Captain Klotz, it was said,
has many traffic suggestions to
make as a result of his trip.

CHILD WELFARE
FURTHERED IN
DISTRICT
Health and Education Of the
Mothers Also Promoted by
Big Society.

Many persons in the District think
that the Child Welfare Society was
founded for the purpose of making
the sick child well. 1t does not. The
aim of the association is to keep the
well child we'll. Whenever the child
or mother Is feeling Ill the first ad-
vice OF the society is to consult a
competent physician.
Following Is a history Of the ac-
tivities Of the society as given by
DIR. Hugh jefferson Davis, director:
1.-THE stages of evolution through
which single act of charity passed
to become a modern public health
agency on a large scale make an in
teresting story. Supplying soup to
such invalids as were in need of
1t was the form which this charity
took in the city of Washington,
more than twenty-five years ago.
The work then spread to q number
Of kind-hearted women and entered
into its second stage of development
with the establishment in 1901 Of the
Washington Diet Kitchen Associa-
ton. The stated object of this org
anizatiOn was to supply proper diet
to the sick poor of Washington; the
diet consisting Of beef tea, mutton
or chicken broth, milk, eggs and diff
ferent health foods as recommended
by the visiting physicians and
nurses"
Started Milk Stations.
1.-THE diet kitchen continued to
function along these lines until 1908,
when, with the opening of a milk
station, 1t passed into the third stage
Of its evolution. Additional stations
where good milk could be obtained at
very little cost were opened as the
means became available and al
though no food other than milk was
supplied after this time, little was
done beyond providing the milk it.
self.
THE importance and necessity of
good milk, especially for babies, soon
became apparent and it devolved
upon the diet kitchen to meet this
hewlett need. AS a result, in 1914,
the association was incorporated in
the District of Columbia and it &C.
tivities came to be limited to infant
welfare work. At that time the most
important stage of it's development
took place, in that the mere distri-
button of milk became a matter of
minor importance as compared with
the education Of the mother on home
modification of milk. home hygiene
as pertains to the care of the baby,
and such allied domestic problems
Thus the Diet Kitchen Association
became the Child Welfare Society, a
full.fledged public health organiza-
ton with the object of keeping the
well baby well.
Attract Mothers Attention.
The mothers attention is at

ways. The example of some Of her

Both houses of thu Oklahoma legis-

and former member of the Mississippi

America is threatened by a super

members of the house after he had
gained recognition at the instance OF
Representative G. S. Long of Tulsa.
Repeating that a ~super-govern-
ment" exists in the United States, DIR,
Mahoney charged: I'VE must break

DIR. Mahoney was introduced in the
senate after passage of a resolution
inviting him to speak. The rcsOlu-
ton was presented by Senator Wash
E. Hudson of Tulsa.
In both house and senate, DR.. Ma
honey was referred to as q former
senator from Mississippi and appar-
emily most members had no knowledge
of his connection with the Ku Klux
Klan. No direct reference to the khan
was included in DIR. MMahoney's re-
marks.
DR.. Mahoney guarded his remarks
and talked only several minutes in
each house. He told members that il
the occasion were different he would
elaborate on his subject.
The house was silent as the i'm
perial klokard made his exit.
Mahoney's appearance came as a
surprise to a majority of house men,
bers. During a lull in routine pro-
ceedings, Representative Long arose
and introduced the imperial klokard
but many of the solons either failed to
hear or did not pay attention. 1t was
not until they heard the klansmen
say:
