Held in August to Meet
Growing Demand.

A school for training song leaders,
to be conducted by Robert Lawrence,
director of the Community Music AS
sociation, will be held during August,

the Iowa State College, at Ames; one
class at the Summer course for music
supervisors at West Chester, Pa, and
one in Little Rock, Ark. The class at
West Chester numbered 142 music su-
pervisors from 81 States and Canada.
Three Music Week celebrations were
conducted under the supervision OF
the association at Nyack, N. Y; Har-
rison, Me-, and Bridgeton, Me.
The association has obtained the
Masonic Temple Auditorium, corner
New York avenue and Thirteenth
street, for the future home of its ac-
tivities. Here free public concerts will
be given weekly, beginning Monday
October 10. The same seating and
financing arrangements that proved
successful at Central and Eastern
High Schools will be followed.

partment yesterday bought the first
acre in the "Buy-an-Acre" campaign

of the Shenandoah National Park COM
prising the Blue Ridge area in Vir-
ginia.

cludes a Statewide canvass of Vir-
ginia to raise sufficient funds by pub
lie contribution to purchase the site
of the proposed national park and do
nate it the Government.

citizen of Virginia being asked to pur-
chase one or more acres. The price
fixed for an acre is Sc. According to
the plans, speakers will be sent into
every city and town in the State,
where meetings will be held and the

AUTO M|SHAPS LAID
TOFAULTY DRIVERS
Safety Expert Says go Per
Cent Are Due to Careless
ness and ReCkIeSSneSS.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., July 25.-
| Ninety per cent of motor car acci-
dents are due to recklessness, care
lessness or incompetency of drivers.
and the remainder can be blamed on
mechanical defects, was the opinion
of DR.. Walter V. Bingham, chairman
| of the committee on the causes of
accidents of the National Conference
on Street and Highway Safety, in
an address before his committee here
! yesterday.
i, DR.. Bingham's committee is framing
recommendations to be submitted TO
| the National Conference in Washing
ton late in the Fall.
Dishonesty in highway signs,
said DIR. Bingham, 'is one cause of
recklessness. Posting of danger signs
at mild curves and similar points
! on highways where there is really
no special danger has bred in many
drivers the habit of ignoring or pav
ing little heed to danger signs in
| general.
Four Per Cent Color Blind.
About per cent of automobile
drivers are color blind. Few of them
are completely color blind. To most
of them a large portion of the
spectrum appears such as it does to
the eye. buI TSu anu
colorS most used for signalS-are
easily confused by color-blind drivers.
This should make highway engineers
| more skeptical of the usefulness of
signs and signals that rely on color
alone to tell their message"
DIR. Bingham said that, while con-
gested highways. played a large part
in the number of accidents, it was
not the only one. He mentioned the
following: The spirit of disrespect
for the law and regulations due TO
Hack of prompt, uniform and certain
enforcement; joy riding, speeding and
similar forms of recklessness, mex
perience and incompetence Of drivers;
jay walking on b~sy streets.
IntoXication, he said, added its
quota of disaster, although no one
knows precisely how large or how
small a share of the total loss actually
is chargeable to drinking.

HAWAI'S AREA INCREASE
SLOW, GEOL0GIST SAYS
Emergence Above Pacific Too
Gradual to Be Noticeable in
Generation, Yale Man Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, July 25.-The theory
of Edwin Fairfax Naulty of New York
that the Hawaiian Islands will equal
Japan in extent of territory through
gradual earth movements within the
next generation was discounted yes
terday by DR.. H. E. Gregory, director
of the Bishop Museum and professor
of geology at Yale.
There is no indication of any rapid
earth movement in Hawaii, Dr. Greg
ory said, and the last decisive rise of
the islands probably occurred millions
of years ago.
There has been no continuous or
progressive rising or falling of the
islands since tertiary times, when the
islands several times were higher than
at present, and also lower several
times. There is evidence that con-
tinuous land connected the islands at
one time. There is, however, no rea-
son to suppose that any progressive
uplift of the islands is likely, but
changes in the position of the islands
with reference to the sea and their
submergence and emergence are to be
expected. However, they will be grad
ual and not noticed for many genera
tions."

GERMANS DEVELOP
NEW TYPE ALCOHOL
Scientists Manufacture Va
riety Which Threatens In
dustry of u. S. Producers.

German scientists by the applica-
tion OF synthetic process are manu-
featuring a new variety of alcohol,
and are threatening to put out Of
business American producers of in
dustrial wood alcohol.
Secretary Hoover said yesterday
that an American industry was threat
ened, but that six American manu-
featuring groups were hurriedly en-
deavoring to change over processes
and acquire necessary rights for the
manufacture of the new product.
Known as "NethynoI.'
The German product, with the trade
name of "nethynol," is produced by
processing carbon monoXide gas with
hydrogen in the presence of catalytic
agencies. 1t places an alcohol very
similar to the old wood alcohol on
the market at less than half the
price.
Some of the basic patents in con-
nection with the German process, Mr..
Hooyer said, are in the possession of
the Chemical Foundation, having been
seized during the war. Research is
being made by both private and public
agencies to determine what possibil-
ity there may be of getting American
interests into production with the new
process or something similar to it.
In spite of the immediate losses
that will be sustained by industrial
alcohol producers, Mr.. Hoover said, the
utilization of "a cheaper alcohol for
industrial purposes than has ever be-
fore been available opens many new
fields of usefulness"
Attention has been attracted to the
situation by the rapidly mounting i'm
ports of the German alcohol during
recent months.

COLORED DOCTORS LIST
PATIENTS WHO DON'T PAY
Medico-Chirurgical Society of Ply
sicians and Surgeons Adopts
Drastic Protective Method.

The Medico-Chirurgical Society of
the District Of Columbia, comprising
all of the colored physicians and sur
geons of the District. has placed into
operation a plan whereby a central
agency keeps lists of patients who re-
fuse to pay their doctors bills. The
system is designed to prevent man
seeking Doctors care without settling
his bills with other doctors.
The plan has been in operation for
about a month, 1t is stated, and al
ready is meeting with success. 1t is
based on the system used by depart
ment stores in the majority of large
cities throughout the country to pro-
tect themselves against the patron
who does not meet his bills. The
colored doctors state that their plan
does not affect the care of charity
patients, who are taken care of as
usual.
