Bowen Comes Back
a NDY BOWEN is coming back

Julian, Of Baltimore, in one Of
the four ten-rounders booked for
Fort Myer. He is assured of a

Bowen belongs up in Newcastle,
Pa, but he has made the Capital
his home for so long now that
he ranks as a "1ocal boy" and
as everybody knows, ''local boys

Andy is one Of the cleanest and
quietest boxers this writer has

They don't paralyze an opponent
They merely give Bowen points

Frequently Bowen has lost de-
cisions in bouts around here, but
never has he come around the

he showed this writer q broken

TAsTELEss BUT QUICK DEATH

Experiments in the Harvard Med
zeal School laboratories demonstrate
that the new German synthetic
methanol is exactly as poisonous as
the more familiar American distill-
ed wood alcohol. And the methanol
is the more dangerous, because it
is cheap and pure.
Wood alcohol when made contains
impurities which make it undrink-
ably offensive, and it is expensive
to deodorize. Methanol is pure and
inoffensive to begin with, and it is
very cheap.
1t makes a palatable drink, not
distinguishable by the taste from a
similar drink made with grain alco-
hol.
But a little Of that drink will
poison you; a little more will blind
you, and any considerable dose will
kill you.
Whoever, therefore, sells it for
beverage purposes is more than a
b~ootlegger. He is a murderer

A MODERN

President Coolidge, apropos of the
sending of photographs over tele-
phone wires across the continent
says:
"a few months ago, the idea of
a photograph being transmitted by
electricity and produced in such per-
lection would have been ridiculed
by most people. A few years ago,
the notion of bringing them back
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
Coast by air-mail would have been
equally preposterous. 1t would be
hard to find a finer Illustration of the
wonders which in this age of mar
vels are happening every day."

Central Street Parkings
Instructions to Traffic
To the Editor of The Star:

There Is one phase OF the traffic
problem in this city that does not
seem to have been touched upon, and
that Is the question Of parks recently
placed in the centers Of the various
streets Of this city.
In looking about for q cause to ac.
count for the accidents on the streets
these spaces cannot be overlooked.
Washington Is a rapidly growing city,
but the use Of automobiles is growing
faster. and the day is approaching
when most families will own one.
This will make a tremendous demand
on street space never dreamed of by
the founders Of our city. This space
Is being measured by the yard at
present. but will soon be measured by
the foot. Bearing this in mind, then,
why make alleys OF our beautiful wide
streets for the sake Of questionab BILE
beauty to be gained by a few bushes
and grass in the center of the streets?
All one has to do TO verify this Is to
gaze on the park on New Hampshire
avenue near the gas house, which was
verttable bed of rank weeds la st
Summer and is not much better now.
The other parks on other streets are
practically In the same condition,
notably the ones on Ohio and Louisi.
ana avenues.
what had impressed him most about
the city, and without hesitation he an
swered, The wide streets" The park
ing in the center Of K street north.
west is a positive nuisance. This
street Is the main artery from the
wharf and manufacturing plants in
Georgetown to the center of the city.
Large. heavily laden trucks, carrying
gravel, coal, etc., are constantly pass
ing. These vehicles, on account of
their size, occupy most Of the narrow
street. and in case Of accident or
breakdown completely block traffic.
During a fire which occurred in the
Spring the fire engines were unable
on account Of the traffic jam to reach
the scene.
These narrowed streets are a posi-.
tive menace during heavy snow.
storms, the snow hiding the curbine
surrounding these spots.
The modern method Of handling
traffic Is to keep 1t moving. Then.
why does the District deliberately lay
down such blockades? The cry all
over the country is for wider streets
and roads to accommodate the rapid
growth and movements Of automo.
biles. In a city like this. with large
front yards, 1T does seem as II we can
get all the pastoral effects needed
without the use OF the streets, which
are urgently needed for other pur-
poses. At the present time the Dis
trict is engaged in placing these OBJ.
structions on very much travelled
street-Bladensburg road. The Dis.
trict, no doubt, went to considerable
expense to widen this street, and in
a few weeks later went to additional
expense to narrow it. This road Is the
main thoroughfare into Washington
from the large cities to the north Of
us, and, in my Judgment, there will be
numerous accidents, especially in
stormy weather We had sufficient
number Of catastrophes when the
poles were in the center.

Answers PanaretOff
To the Editor Of Tha Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
The writer has read with consider
able interest the letter Of that alto
gether charming and astute diplomat
Stephen Panaretoff. former Bulgarian
Minister to the United States, which
was printed in The Star of Novem.
Der 2.
Mr.. Panaretofr refers to statement
contained in dispatches by Walter Col.
Inns and published In The Star of Oc.
tober "a. Collins cable did say, RE.
ports that Bulgarian troops advanced
into Greek territory have absolutely
no foundation" but q careful reading
Of the balance Of his cable shows that
he could not have had any personal
knowledge Of the situation at that
time. as he did not 60 to the frontier
post Of Demir-Kapou until three days
after the dispatch referred to was
printed in The Star. He, therefore.
made the statement in question based
on what he was told In Bulgaria. and,
while he undoubtedly believed what he
hand information, as Mr.. Panaretoff
intimates.
The statement in the last portion Of
Mr.. Panaretoffs letter. that the Greeks
had bombarded open and defenseless
towns and villages, Is not correct. In
The Star of October 29 Mr.. A. R..
Decker. a thoroughly reputable Amer.
lean correspondent, completely refutes
the Bulgarian claim that the Greeks
had destroyed any houses, and says,

untouched" This statement has since

pended on street maintenance, and the
steps taken by the Government to
prevent recurrence OF the snow.
clogged streets OF last Winter.
Many Of Washington's streets are
undeniably in a rundown" condition.
The pavement in places is disinter
grating and ruts and holes are prev
alent. The proportion Of the approx.
mately 100000 gathered by the gas
tax which has been spent on new con.
struction to that spent on main
tenance OF existing streets will be in
teresting to all the citizens Of the
city.
But most important of all Is the
question Of snow-removal equipment.
Washington can never go through an
other Winter with the snow piled
high on the main arteries Of travel
1t paralyzes transportation and costs
business men many thousands Of dol
lars. The condition Of the streets of
the District one week after the heavy
snowfall Of last Winter was a national
disgrace. 1t has been estimated that
81, 900 900.
With the temper Of Congress
strained almost to the breaking point
at that time. 1t Is apparent that the
question of what has been done
about snow removal for the coming
Winter" has focused public interest
on this most important point.
Other cities have met the snow
removal problem with vigorous action;
it is up to Washington to adopt the
same tactics. The answer to the ques.
tion will probably show that the Com
missioners have made ample provision
for such contingencies in the future,
and that Washingtonians will no
longer have to pay a heavy price
for inefficiency and lack Of equipment:
II nothing has been done there is
still time to do it. At any event the
question was timely one, and the
answer will be Of absorbing interest to
every resident Of the city.
