made by Navy pilots in the PN-12 last
year at Philadelphia. These records in
cluded endurance, altitude with loads,

POLITICAL WRITER
HITS AT SECRECY
Tells George Washington Glass
There Is No Reason for Such
Action by Congress.

"There is not the slightest reason
why any public business should be
transacted in secret" G.. Gould Lincoln,
political writer of The Evening Star, said
in discussing recent controversies over
congressional reports, before the class
in Journalism at George Washington
University, yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Lincoln told of the iberaliZing of the
custom in this field in the past quarter
century.
The speaker also stated that Ameri-
can newspapers had found it good
plan to tell both sides of every question,
whether related to politics or any other
subject" and voiced the view that the
present custom was valuable for the re-
porter as well as for the paper.
Washington as world news center
was emphasized, and Mr.. Lincoln de-
scribed the groups of writers from all
sections which had been coming to the
National Capital in increasing numbers,
to cover at first hand the events in Con-
gresS and the conferences at the White
House. The method of governing the
work in the press gallery of Congress,
through rules established by the stand
ing committee, was shown.
Referring to the use of unofficial polls
in connection with national elections
he said that it was the duty of political
reporters to put life and color into their
study of a campaign. and to tell why
certain things we're developing.

field for political reporting all the

UFFORD TO DEVOTE FULL
TIME TO CHARITIES BODY
Directors Request That He
Resign From Tuberculosis
Organization Work.
Achieved Many Improve
ments During 20 Year Sec
retaryship of Association.

Walter S. Ufford resigned as executive
secretary of the Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis at a meeting
last night of the board of directors in
order to give his full time to the ASso-
ciated Charities, of which he has also
been executive secretary for 20 years.
The resignation was presented at the
urgent request of the board of man
ayers Of the Associated Charities, who,
it was explained, realized that the great
expansion of their work needed all OF
Mr.. Uffords time and attention.
The resignation will become effective
January /, it was explained by DR..
George M. Kober, president OF the Asso-
citation for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis, and 1t is expected that new
secretary may be chosen and installed
before Mr.. Ufford leaves. A committee
of the board was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions of regret at the
departure of Mr.. Ufford.
Budget Has Increased.
The tuberculosis Association, when
Mr.. Ufford became secretary 20 years
ago, was but three years old, and the
budget of its activities in the health
field amounted to about $4,000. The
budget for the, past year amounted to
$4,000.
Many stages of progress were made
by the association during Mr.. Utford's
service. The plan of distributing a
series of IL health rules" printed on
large cardboardS, to the school children
of the city, was formulated. That
policy has been continued from year
to year, but in 1918 it was decided by
the board of directors to amplify the
health rules into book of IL chapters,
each chapter developing one OF the
rules and to be written by an expert on
the subject. The chapter en- sleep and
rest in its relation to the cure of tuber-
culosis was written by Mr.. Uhord him
self.
The fight for an adequate milk in
spection law in the District which was
carried through under the leadership
of the late Emile Berliner as member
of the tuberculosis Association Board
had the effective support of Mr.. Uford
at every stage, it was recalled today.
Develop Health Camp.
Another achievement of this associa-
ton during Mr.. UffordS administration,
it was pointed out, was that of develop
ing the Children's Health Camp from
the daytime service it rendered under
the Red Cross management into "a
hour service.
The results thus shown, 1t is added,
went far toward demonstrating the
need of a children's Sanitorium, provi-
sion for which has now been made by
Congress with the appropriation of
100000 specified.
Mr. Ufford's activity in community
health work has won for him recogni-
ton in the national field. He was
elected last year as member of the
important committee of State execu-

that Saturday night was very slippery

He let the following things be known
in Police Court this morning In an eff
fort to interest the court authorities in
having the street surface of Highway
Bridge sanded in slippery weather to
prevent recurrence of such n1ishaps as
occurred to him and his on that evening.
The officer, returning from short
trip into Virginia. saw that the car
of fellow WaShingtonian had Skidded
on the ice of Highway Bridge and
turned over on its side. The sergeant,
wishing to be of assistance, halted his
machine, alighted and walked over to
the unfortunate vehicle.
Before he had scarcely arrived at the
scene of the accident car bearing a
Virginia license slipped in from the
direction of the city. skidded and
crashed into the front of the police
mans automobile. The front bumper"
and license were torn off and fender
was badly denied. Before he had re-
covered from the first shock, Wash
ington car skidded up from the direc-
ton of Virginia and crashed into the
rear of the sergeant's machine, caus-
ing considerable damage to this part
of the car.
Meanwhile, the sergeant's wife, Mrs.
Katherine Smith, became frightened and
decided to walk across the bridge She
had proceeded scarce 80 yards be-
fore her feet slipped from under her,
She was bruised.
The sergeant said that he thought
he had better drive the car home while
it was able to go unasSisted. Just as
he started, Thomas Harris, the owner
Of the overturned machine tried to step
onto the running board of the police
mans car to thank Smith for his help.
He slipped and fell under the wheels
