CHILDREN's FATAL DISEASES

Worms and parasites in the intes-
tines Of children undermine health and
so weaken their vitality that they are
unable to resist the diseases so fatal
to child life. The safe course is to
give a few doses of Whites Cream
vermifuge, 1t destroys and expels the
worms without the slightest injury to
the health of activity of the child.

Sheet for Repairing Famous
Capitol Art Work

After many delays, the huge art
canvas necessary to repairing and
restoring the painting OF 1.-THE Bap'
tism Of Pocahontas," In the rotunda
Of the Capitol has arrived at the
port Of Georgetown.
Charles e. Tairman, curator Of
the Capitol, yesterday was notified
that the 10 by 10 foot canvas
safely had made the trip from Bel
gium, via a Shipping Board vessel.
and only awaited clearance at
Georgetown port.
Within a few days 1t will be
conveyed to the Capitol rotunda and
there carefully inspected by Mr..
Fairman. II found to serve, work
on removing the slim Indian prin'
cess from her niche In the rotunda
walls will be started. The Belgian
canvas will be scientifically applied
to the back Of the painting, so that
1t may be restretched and cleaned.
Several months ago, when for the
first time in forty years, the restora'
ton Of the rotunda paintings began,
It was found that deterioration had
taken place in that part OF the
canvas on which the officiating
clergyman's face was depicted. II
was decided that rebacking the
entire canvas would be necessary.
Nowhere in the United States
could so large a canvas be obtained
and finally, though the efforts o1
the State Department, and its con
sular offices, 1t was ascertained that
Brussels alone had art looms Of
sufficient size to weave the 10 by

Gas Mixture Denied.
Paul Himmelfarb, president Of
the Penn Oil Company, testified re-
garding the sale Of gasoline and
kerosene IN the District. He denied
that kerosene Is being mixed with
gasoline to escape payment OF the
tax, declaring that there has been
no marked increase In the sale Of
kerosene as q result Of the tax.
He testified that since the gaso-
line tax went into effect in the Dis
trict, local gasoline sales have drop
ped 100000 gallons a year. This
drop, he explained, was the result
Of the purchase OF gasoline in
Maryland and Virginia by owners
who formerly bought gasoline in
the District to escape the tax in

haQ an opportunity SSNefd1
years ago while on an extended
trip to this city. to make a study
of traffic conditions. Colonel
Waldo declared. Il found at
that time that driving at night Is
dangerous. ] also found that It ts
unsafe to cross street in the night
time.
Streets Poorly Lighted.
'"The streets are poorly lighted.
intersections particularly. In some
parts Of Washington a motorist
can only see clearly a score or
more feet ahead Of him. He finds
It difficult to locate street Cross
ings and this Is responsible for
many drivers failing to slow up
at intersections.
al believe that II the lighting
facilities here were improved and
extended, accidents would decrease
Immediately and materially"
The boulevard or block sys-
tenn" would be very practical in
Washington, Colonel Waldo b.
lieves. He pointed out that this
system of regulating traffic is ia
effect In New York, Philadelphia
and many other large cities in
the United States.
Sixteenth street could be made a
block thoroughfare," he pointed
out. ct also believe this system
would work well in the downtown
sections. It viii prevent accidents
and enable motorists to reach their
destinations quicker"
Colonel Waldo said ,washington's
police force was not sufficiently
manned. He declared that more
motorcycle policemen were needed
here.
Would Cut Reckless Driving.
''If q city has q great number of
motorcycle men, reckless driving
will be reduced to a minimum" he
declared. "a motorist will drive
carefully II he believes a policeman
Is near. On the other hand. IL he
knows there are only several motor
cycle men working he Is willing to
take a chance that these men are
In other parts OF the city"
Forfeiture Of collateral should
be discontinued, Colonel Waldo
says.
"In New York, a man arrested
for violating traffic rules is giver
a summons" Colonel Waldo pointed
out. IF he does not appear II
court, the police go out and ge
him.
Issuance Of Permits.
Colonel Waldo has decided view
on the issuance of licenses to driv,
automobiles. ~
Improvement in traffic condi
lions depends upon the type Of per
son driving In city, Colonel Wald,
pointed out. "A city in which mel
and women are capable drivers, COO
in emergencies, will haVe less acct
dents than other cities whose driver
are incapable.
mo man or woman should b
permitted to drivefa car until tn
authorities are satisfied that hi
hearing IL good, his eyesight IL MOI
NAL and he Is tempermentally III
Tempermental persons are dangerou
as automobiles drivers. They mr
not quick to act and can rarely avoi
accidents In emergencies.
Applicants for drivers licenses
should first be given a test 70
hnaangs then . test Tor ayes:gh
The Washington times., 1925-01-06

and then q test for thstr driving
ability.
RULES In this regard cannot be
too strict.
DRIVERS should also be required
to have their licenses renewed an
nually."
Colonel Waldo discussed Wash
ington's parking problem at length.
Parking Regulation Opposed.
az am opposed to parking reSu-
lations unless 1t il absolutely
necessary" Colonel Waldo said.
Telling a man he cannot park for
an hour or so Is the sams as In.
forming him he can't use his car.
Authorities should restrict parking
only In extreme emergency"
Underground garages in down
town Washington win come In not
many years hence, Colonel Waldo
says.
~"Of course. these garages are
prohibited today because OF their
cost" he declared. '"I do not be-
Iieve In advocating traffic measures
which drain the pockefbook Of the
Taxpayers. Measures OF this KIND
are usually impractical.
But the. time VIII come when
serious consideration must be given
to underground garages"
Colonel. Waldo on his trip to
washington Is accompanied by VIII
liam Griffin, vice president OF the
American Press Association.
Colonel Waldo is one OF those
Americans who have devoted thsir
lives to public service without
thought Of reward. His original de-
termination was to be q soldier after
West Point training But some
how the Spanish War interfered
with an exclusively military career
for him. It began while he was q
student In the Columbia School OF
Mines which he left to go to the
army straight, without West Point,

in the Seventeenth U. 8. Infantry.
Four years later he was a captain

I A mere youngster he made a
record. For some years he was IN

natives and OF the troops which
kept the district in good order.
During his period Of service In the
islands he became famuos as an
