SOLDIER DRIVER
ELUDES PROBE

Walter Reed Hospital officials
were investigating today to identify
the driver of the car that struck
and seriously injured John DeVries,
81 years old, Silver Spring, Md,
and Miss Blanche Sweeney, 16
years old. 436 Fourth st. N. e.,
late Tuesday night in front of the
Silver Sprin postoffice.
The car was privately owned by
Brig. Gen. James M. Kennedy,
commanding officer at the hospital,
and was traced to his garage and
there later identified by witnesses.
Upon being informed of the ac-
cident General Kennedy, who was
not in the car Tuesday night, i'm
mediately placed the matter in the
hands of the inspection officer of
the post, Lieut.. John D. Foley.
General Kennedy was satisfied
that his own chauffeur, whose
name was not disclosed, had no
connection with the mishap.
This driver declared that the
keys to the garage and to the car
were stolen from him when he was
asleep early Tuesday evening.
All the other soldierss regularly
detailed to garage work at the
hospital also were absolved when
witnesses to the accident failed to
identify any one Of them as the
driver OF the car.
Besides being injured the secret
marriage plans Of the young couple
went on the rocks as a result of
the accident. Devries and Miss
Sweeney had planned to get mar
ried Wednesday, but were keeping
this affair secret because OF the
opposition of the girls parents.
DeVries, an assistant operator in
a Washington motion picture
theater, was to receive his license
next month and planned to gel
married in anticipation OF the salary
increase the license would bring
him. Now the wedding has been
indefinitely postponed.
Miss Sweeney had returned to her
work today, but the young man
was still in a critical condition in
his parents home at Silver Spring
General Kennedy's car was badly
damaged, but whether this was a
result of striking the young couple
or from having been in another
mishap, is not known. Genera
| Kennedy declared today that his
| investigation would be pushed unit
rthe guilty party had been caught
ana punished.

WHITE PLAGUE
FOES MEET

Civilizations determination to wipe
out tuberculosis, next to cancer
the greatest scourge of the human
race, has been remarkably success
full, Secretary of the Treasury An
drew w. Mellon said today when
he formally welcomed delegates
from many countries to the fifth
conference of the International
Union Against tuberculosis, now in
session at the Mayflower.
Mr.. Mellon spoke for Surg. Gen.
Hugh S. Crimmins, of the Public
Health Service, who was unable to
attend.
"Co-operation between the health
organizations and Federal and State
authorities has brought the desired
result" Mr.. Mellon said, pointing
out that in 1900, when the organized
fight was launched, the death rate
from this disease was 201 in every
100, 900 citizens, while in 1925 the
rate had shrunk to 81.
Have UpIifted Masses
"I venture to say" the Treas
ury chief continued, that no great
movement has had a more far
reaching effect upon the welfare
and happiness of the human race
in those countries in which its
efforts have been exerted than the
organized fight against tuberculo-
SIS"
"Its influence has been seen in
better housing and hospital facili-
ties for the poor. in shorter hours
OF labor, and in better working
conditions for the laborer. in
more intelligent expenditure of
money in nutrition and education.
Indeed, the great uplifting xof
the masses during our generation
has been in no small degree the
result, consciously or unconscious
ly. of the efforts of such men as
yourselves and of the public whose
energies have been directed along
wise channels by you"
Possibilities of Cures
Possibilities of a cure for tubercu.
losis were discussed by DIR. Theo-
| bald Smith, Princeton, N. J., presi.
dent of the Union.
The hope and expectation that
some all inclusive remedy may he
found need not be given up" said
DIR. Smith, although the object
of attack is multiform in character
| 1T is not improbable that if a
useful remedy. comes it will arrive
Unexpectedly from side lines where
some other disease has furnished
the clue.
while we are patiently awaiting
the arrival of this most welcome
guest, our hope today rests in pre-
ventive measures which see to il
that the human being from birth
on inhales or Ingests as few
bacffif as possible, and that the
individual and the family be made
as strongly defensive, through a
proper environment, as the avail
able world energy will permit"

ELDR|DGE ASKS
HARSHER LAW

Elimination of the provision Of
the traffic law which enables
drivers, whose permits are sus.
pended or cancelled to continue to
operate for a period of 10 days
pending appeal to the District Com
missioners, was suggested by Traf-
fic Director NJ. o. Eldridge in his
annual report made today to the
city heads.
"a man who is caught red
handed in a drunken condition,
driving an automobile, should have
his permit taken up Immediately"
the director declared in a scathing
criticism of the system now in
vogue which allows drunken drivers
being almost carried into court in
such beastly state Of intoxica-
ton that they were unable to stand
up to ask for jury trial"
Eldridge says he has seen cases
of this character come up months
later and the accused be adjudged
mot guilty" by a jury.
Urges Hiring Doctors
"It is suggested" Eldridge says In
his report, "inasmuch as there were
ITO arrests for driving while drunk
in 1925, the District government
could we'll afford to employ compe-
tent physicians who would be on
cali for immediate examination of
all persons arrested for this offense
and would be in a position to testify
when the case was brought into
court"
In his fourteen-page statement to
the Commissioners, the Traffic
Director lists the number of traffic
accidents in the District at 5,503
during the twelve months ending
June 80, and places the blame on
the pedestrian in 62 per cent of
the cases.
Saturday Bad Day
Saturday is the worst day Of
the week for traffic accidents, the
report states, SIS accidents hap
pening on that day. The period
of the day between noon and 5
o'clock in the afternoon, is the most
| dangerous, 80 per cent of the mis-
| haps occurring between those hours.
According to Eldridge's report,
the longer a person drives a ma
| chine the more apt he or she is to
| have an accident as, of the op'
orators of 1885 cars striking We
hicles, 46 per cent had more than
five years experience, 734 from
two to five years experience, 1875
from one to two years experience
and 1913 from three months to one
years experience.
Plans are being made for extend
ing the automatic traffic light sys.
tern through the city, Eidridge
says. The District is divided into
IL zones and preparations are be.
ing made to install the lights in
| the order Of their Importance to
the relief of traffic congestion. the
| report states.

all thought and hope of mating
And they mother their work because
through with watchfuI waiting;
While married men, being settled, work
willingly and steadily as a rule,
While the unmarried ones are careless
and have the ambition of mule.
MK. Brown may be drawing on his
imagination or from his Obser-

They do not have to surmise, but from

They KNOW that those who do the

Sunday School Lesson

tined to play an important part in the
development of the greatest movement
in history. which started in humble
way that day" John by his test-
mony brought his brother, James,
who, although a quiet man. became
one of the most influential members
of the IL, being member of the inner
circle that consisted of Peter. James
and John, who shared the intimate
fellowship of the Master.
Winning Others.
The next morning Jesus started to
return to Galilee. They met Philip,
who was a native of Bethsaida. the
home of Andrew and Peter. Christ
called this practical, calculating man.
yet Of sluggish disposition, to be-
come His disciple in two words, Fol
low me-" This matter of fact bust
ness man evidently was a student of
the Old Testament and knew what to
expect in a Messiah. This is appar-
ent in his testimony to Nathaniel. for
he told him. I'VE have found Him. of
whom Moses in the law, and the
prophets did write, Jesus Of
Nazareth, the son Of Joseph" Ma
thanael, who is supposed to have been
the same as Bartholomew, was a ma
tive of Cana and questioned the pos
the disreputable town Of Nazareth" !"
Philip did not argue with Nathaniel,
but urged him to make a personal in
vestigation of the claims of Jesus.
Nathaniel was not disturbed by
Philips reference to the earthly origin
of the Master, for this spiritually
minded man understood that bodily
origin in the case Of the Christ was
of little account. "since a pre-exist-
ent divine being changed only the
form of His existence" in becoming
human. He was perplexed because
he did not know of any prophecy that
linked up Nazareth with the Messiah.
The Master recognized Nathaniel as
a "guileless, spiritual and sincere"
Israelite. He surprized him by telling
how He had seen him in his secret
place Of prayer. This caused him to
recognize and accept Jesus as the
Messiah. The Lord encouraged him
by the assurance of his seeing still
greater visions in the future, so that
he was added to the roll of followers
Of the Christ. Each one OF these
sought to be free from their sins.
Each disciple became q preacher of
the gospel and a winner Of souls.
They differed in their original charac-
teristics and personality. yet they be-
came spiritually united in purpose
through the Masters teaching. He
transformed each one of them until
they became valuable and helpful
aides In advancing the work of the
kingdom of God among men. The
fact that each one brought another to
Christ ought to encourage us to be
come personal workers for our Lord
in the circle Of our families. friends
and fraternal life. The acid test Of
conversion is found in winning others
