STREETPLATFORMS
Commissioner Oyster Ex-
empts Only Avenue in Bet
ter-Traffic Plan.

Removal OF all street car loading
platforms except on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. was advocated today by Com
missioner Oyster as a means Of i'm
proving traffic conditions.
The spaces now occupied by the
platforms could be marked off with
white lines for pedestrians waiting
for street cars, the Commissioner said.
Fire Chief George S. Watson has ex-
pressed his opposition to the use Of
the loading platforms on the ground
that they retard apparatus in get

The platforms were introduced dur

intersections will. 1t is expected, be
repealed at meeting of the Com

Commissioner Oyster has stated
that II was adopted several weeks
ago through a. misunderstanding.
The Commissioners, he said, only in
tended to place the eight-mile limit
on machines turning corners, but in

worded that it applied to vehicles

a nuisance and a source of much COM

ATTORNEY FIRED
UPON BY CLIENT
Commotion in Evans Building Ex-
planned When Frank Paladini
Gives Story.


That Frank Paladini, attorney in
the Evans building, missed death by
inches when a client fired upon him
in his office in Room 400 yesterday
afternoon became known last night
when he made a statement to De-
tectives Sweeney and WaIdron and
Inspector Clifford L. Grant of the de-
tectfve bureau.
Paladini at first denied that there
had been any trouble. He said that
an argument with a client had arisen,
but that 1t was negligible. 1t was
later learned that he had been treated
for two gunshot wounds in his left
arm, neither of them serious. Iden-
tity of the client has not been dis
closed.
Paladini told the detectives that the
man fired point blank at him and that
he saved himself after both shots
went to the left of his body and into
his arm by disarming his assailant.
Police have the revolver today.

First Prize Winner.
In Stars ''Best News Story Contest
By Ruth Miller Brown.
Aged Is Years: Central High School Home
Address, 638 B Street Southwest.

An interesting sketch of the great milestones Of
Woodrow Wilson's as President of the United
States and description of his strength of character
appeared upon the first page of The Star for Feb
ruary 2. For several reasons have chosen this
the best news story of the week
The event Of MIR. Wilson's illness is the most
significant of the week, eclipsing in Importance all
political developments and it is therefore, ap-
propriate time for such article to be published
since the mind of every American is filled with
row concerning the wartime President.
The direct force and appeal with which this
story is written is inspiring all citizens it lays
before the public character strong uncom-
promising, SO Indifferent to pity and praise.
An article of this type forces to realize that
the heroic sef.sacriice Of Woodrow Wilson for his
country is appreciated than heretofore
have been aware of, and tends to make appre-
cate him
If Mr. Wilson were now able to read this article,
believe that he would feel assured that his great
life work has not been in vain.
Therefore, because Of its appropriate subject
its inspiring qualities, its sympathetic element and
its excellent construction, have selected this
story as the best of the week.

An instance of the resourcefulness

of how to save a line which was sup

bed of a swollen stream and seemed
in danger every moment of being car.
ried away by logs floating down the
swift current of the river.
1t was utterly impossible to reach
the pole, but the resourceful linemen
saved the situation by severing the
pole below the cross-arms. This was
accomplished with thirty-hve we'll
directed shots from a high-powered
rifle. The bullets cut the pole and left
the line-with the pole top and cross
arms hanging from it-supported by
the firmly set poles on either bank of
the river and unmenaced by the surg
ing waters.

way Of Washingtons birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There is still another record Of those
Revolutionary times which touches US
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration of Washington's birth
day. 1t was in February, 1871, that
Comte de Rochambeau, with true
French spirit, declared holiday for the
French troops who were then located
In Connecticut. Washington's BIRTH
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday Of his COM
mander, whom he SO highly esteemed.
1t was another Of the many evil
dences of the close ties between France
and America which existed in Revo-

orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation of our national holiday.

RAW LINSEED OIL is
BEST TO KILL LICE

The little red lice or biting lice OF
cattle are common to young and ma
ture animals alike. They do not suck
the blood Of the lfost but feed upon
loose scales of the skin and portions
of the hair. Their multiplication is
favored more by the dry, scaly skin
Of the COW than by any other condi-
ton. They are smaller than either OF
the other kinds and are red in color,
but can be seen with the naked eye.
The eggs of the red louise hatch
in five to seven days and II takes about
fourteen days for the young lice to
mature and begin laying eggs. The
red lice are more active and move
about from place to place on the host
None of the lice can live any length
Of time away from the host. But
their eggs are carried by means of
loose hairs from animal to animal
This is the most probable manner Of
