Help for Pedestrian
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripts Howard Science Editor

THE lowly pedestrian almost completely ignored
cities bend all their efforts to widening streets
and speeding up auto traffic, is about to come into
his own. Drastic changes in skyscraper construction
and in the planning of congested are predicted
by experts of the American Institute of Architects
These changes will be for the benefit of the
pedestrian.
The predictions based upon investigation
made for the institute by Miller McCntock director
of the ErSkine bureau of street traffic research of
Harvard university.
McClintock undertook to find how much pedes-
TRAN traffic sidewalk could handle before the
margin of convenience" was passed.
He found that when the volume of traffic equaled
300 persons hour for each foot of width of side
walk, the saturation point had arrived.
With the aid of assistants he kept tab on the
traffic along Washington street in Boston They
found that when the volume passed the 300 mark,
pedestrians began to leave the sidewalk and walk in
the street
The point made by McClintock-and it is something
for architects, builders and building to pom
der over-is that when sidewalk traffic passes the 300
mark, 1t is detrment to the building and the stores
offices 1t houses. Up to that mark, additional
traffic is a benefit Beyond the mark it is not.

Will Snowden Hit lis Next?

power has arisen among the rulers and the
dctatorS of the world To the men of might-Such as
Mussolini, Renal and Stalin--lnust be added the
pacifsS Snowden. For the slender, crippled British
chancellor of the excnequer dictated at The Hague
the hardest-fought international settlement since
Versailles.
This Snowden victory not be measured by the
few million dollars of additional reparaton annues
granted Britain by France, Belgium, Italy, Japan and
Germany. 1t that Great Britan-for the
ment at least-has taken from France the political
leadership of Europe.
So long as a British labor government is in power
such political leadership is safer in the hands of Lon
don than of Paris. 1t will mean quicker economic
reconstruction of Europe and military evacuation of
the Rhineland without which stable peace is mpos-
sibe. Moreover, it should hasten approach to-
ward land disarmament so long prevented by French
military dominance of the continent.
French militarism has 1ourished through hook
up with British navaism under Tory London gov
eminent But the British labor government has
broken that Anglo-French alliance. The Hague bat
tie is added proof of that
With the Chauvinstic Poincare out of power
there is hope that Premier BRAND can lead France
to new plane of open-co-operation for peace with
republican Germany and labor England
The last has not been heard of Philip Snowden A
few years ago one of the most unpopular radicals in
Britain, today he is the most popular man in his
country He has increased his hold upon his party;
he has increased his partys hold upon the country
And before he gets through he is apt to become
as important figure to the United States as he
is to Europe
For Snowden not only believes with most Brtons
and Europeans that German reparatons and Ameri-
can war debts jnseparabe he has the courage to
fight that opinion To get larger British share of
German reparations-which he now has achieved at
The Hague-is only half of his program. The other
half is to reduce British and allied payments to the
United States.
snowden is British hero today not only because
of his fight The Hague but also because he recently
propped himself up with his canes in parliament and
as unfair the British debt settlement with
the United States.

fighter how long will the Washington government be
able to maintain the absurd fiction that there is no

Readers of this newspaper may have suspected for

Many more rich men today patronize bootleggers

man of moderate income, who either has to go dry
or fall backz on inferior alcoholic concoctions
Supporting this idea, and in spite of Henry Ford'S
expert opinion that drinking longer fashionable

ArCadeS

AS the first remedy, McClintock suggests the use
of the arcaded sidewalk This that the ground
floor of the building is cut back that what would
ordinarily be the show windows of the ground floor
stores become sidewalk. This sidewalk, of course
is rooted over by the other floors of the building
which tower above it.
At first glance, it would seem odd that building
owner should give away piece of valuable ground
floor frontage.
McClintock, however, explains his contention. He
says
There many many locations in Office build
ing districts in the United States where the con-
venience factor has been exceeded.
A continued piling up of demands by additional
structures only have the effect of discouraging
the full of the structures which located upon
the sites adjacent to these streets. 1t is wonder
that designers and owners of Office buildings have
not been more alert to this situation
THE arcaded sidewalk offers such advantages in
public comfort and in good merchandise display as
we'll as in added capacity, that its widespread use
in the future seems inevitable.
Office buildings constructed in rapidly growing
districts should be designed so that arcaded side
walks may be later provided, though they
originally not included
McClintock also predicts that there will be an
increasing tendency to put arcades through the in
terror Of buildings He feels that such arcades which
parallel streets already overcrowded will prove highly
popular

Iron and Liver Aid Anemia Treatment

red coloring matter of the red blood
cells.
When liver and iron we're given
together, the increase took place
much more rapidly than when either
liver or iron was given alone.
Some patients with anemia who
were studied had the condition due
to infestation with hookWorm, an
extremely common cause of sec
ondary anemia in people living in
the southern part of the United
States.
Some of these secondary anemias
were due to bleeding associated with
disturbances of the organs peculiar
to women, and in other instances
the anenias we're due to undernu-
triton because of insufficient diet
or badly chosen diet.
In this connection it is probably
due that the anemia of the patients
with hookworm is due to the fact
that the people with hookworm are
never properly nourished and will be
found to be understood and under
weight.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-08-30
Bridges

A general use of bridges and tunnels to provide
overhead and underground communication between
buildings is also foreseen by experts of the American
Institute OF Architects
McClintock calls attention to the degree to which
this has been carried in the Grand Central district
of New York, where practically all hotels of the i'm
mediate vicinity connected to the railway station
by tunnels for pedestrians
He also calls attention to isolated cases where
bridges used to connect the upper stories of
buildings.
In many densely built areas second story side
walks arcaded into the buildings will soon be
monplace according to McClintock.
BY setting these sidewalks into the buildings their
cost of construction is reduced to a minimum. In
addition, no shadows are cast on the regular side
walks on the ground.
Bridges would carry these second story arcaded
sidewalks over street intersections.
McClintock also points out the need of designing
buildings SO that merchandise can be taken in and
out of them more easily.
He says that in many in the United States,
large office buildings can be found with no provision
at all for handling merchandise in and out Of the
structure.

Rogers, British Lion

T AM sorry to see Will Rogers as

funny man. He is a very shrewd
and able commentator on public
affairs and his quips deservedly in

Naturally, he is within his rights
in advocating preparedness, but he
ought to play fair.
He didn't do that in recent
comment on Snowden. HE told

on the dispute about reparations,
Boys, We not only would like to
have, but we are going to have it, "
Then so-called statesmen" adds
Rogers, will tell you that a navy

This is a grave distortion of the
facts. Will Rogers should know as
we'll as you or I that Snowden made
no threat of aggressive military &C

ton upon the part of member Of

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

liver and iron was especially valu-
able in restoring the blood to dogs
which had been made anemic by
bleeding.
1t has, of course, long been known
that iron was an excellent remedy
for anemias. Now Some physicians
in China have tested out the effects
of combinations Of liver and iron
on persons with secondary anemia
and their results show that what
was true for the dogs would apply
also for human beings.
The experiments show again the
Importance of animal experimental

To control experiments on pa

studied the effects of iron given
alone and of liver given alone and
then the effects of the two given in
combination.
When iron alone was given in
suitable doses to these patients there
occurred a definite increase in the
