ASK COORDINATION
IN HIGHWAY WORK
Takoma Park Citizens Pro-
pose Closer Contact With
Maryland.

The coordination of the highway
system of the District of Columbia with
that of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission was ad-
vocated last night at meeting of the
Takoma Park Citizens Association in
the Takoma Park branch of the WASH
ington Public Library, Fifth and Cedar
streets.
Burt w. Andrews, chairman of the
committee on streets and lights, In re-
porting to the association stressed that
the master map of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning COM
mission proposes the construction of a
highway via Sligo Mill road at the
Takoma Park line along Sligo stream to
Indian Spring, White Oak and thence
to Baltimore, shortening the distance
several miles to the Monumental City.
With the improvement of New Hamp-
shire avenue to the District line, 1t
would connect with the Sligo Mill road
and relieve the traffic congestion on the
Washington-B Baltimore boulevard.
It was pointed out that the District
line and that property owners have paid
their assessments as far back as 1915,
but up to the present time New Hamp-
shire avenue has not been improved.
The speakers favoring early improve
ment of this thoroughfare included
Walter Trey, John w. Coffman, Mrs.
William l.. White and John Micklejohn
Chester C. Waters, Public Utilities
Commission chairman, presented reso-
luton which was adopted, requesting
the Public Utilities Commission to pro-
vide for exchange of transfers between
the Washington Railway & Electric Co
and the Capital Traction Co. at Georgia
avenue and Kennedy streets.
The association was advised by Sena-
tod Reed Smoot that he would present
the matter of a proposed armory fol-
the National Guard of the District OF
Columbia at the next meeting Of his
committee.
Walter Trey reported on the recent
gathering when the Capper- Zihlman
school board election bill was dis
cussed, while President John Walker
related the activities of the Federation
of Citizens Associations.
Efforts will be made to obtain the
construction Of a building and storage
space at an estimated cost of $4,000 on

financial debacle resulted in their being
sued and prosecuted in State courts
were arrested yesterday on indictments
returned as a result of Federal grand

company
What became of millions which IN
vestors spent for fraudulently issued
stock in the company is one of the mys-
teries of the case.
The Federal indictments upon which
the three men were arrested charge IL
counts of misuse of the mails and one
count of conspiracy. Berman formerly
was head of the Julian stock depart

Credit Men to Try
To Stir Conscience
Of ''Slow'' Payer
100000 AID Fund to
Be Used in Prompt
PAYMENT Drive.
az the Associated Press.


DENVER, January 14.-I you pay
YOUR bills promptly on the 1st of each
month you are one out OF every two
persons who does so.
On the other hand, If you are slow
in meeting your credit obligations you
NAV find solace in the knowledge that
40 per cent of the credit buyers OF
America have the same characteristic
Added to that there is another 10 per
cent that is downright crooked and not
only is slow in paying. but buys on
credit without ever intending to pay.
The latter two classes, representing
so per cent of the people Of the United
States, are about to have their con-
sciences stirred, however.
The National Retail Credit Associa-
ton is willing to spend $1,000 900 to
cause them a few qualrps of uneasiness
That fact was revealed here by Guy
T. Hulse of st. Louit, secretary and
educational director of the association.
He is here to attend the seventh an
nual convention of the Associated Re-
tail Credit Bureaus of Colorado, Wyo-
ming and New Mexico.
The conscience" fund already has
beer raised and will be expended in ad-
vertising aimed to establish a new
psychology on the part of credit buy
ers. More than one-third of the sum
will be spent for daily newspaper ad-
vertiSing, Hulse said.

lost more than men, and umbrellas were
the most frequently forgotten articles.
Besides the patron who forgot his
bass drum, one woman forgot century

HITCH-HIKING GERMS OF
TYPHOID CAN BE AVOIDED
Keeping Hands Clean Will Go
Long Way in Lessening Disease

As the recreation season opens
there is bit of advice that DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, offers to campers,
mixers, and all others who go a-tour-
ing. He says: "In order that you
may avoid the hitch-hiking germs of
typhoid fever and of similar diseases,
that may wait anywhere to be picked
up, remember that every one of these
germs gets into the body by way of
the mouth, and base your habits upon
that fact. ds,
"The most common carriers of dis
ease-producing germs are the human
hands. Therefore, it is wise, so far as
germs are concerned, to stick rigidly
to the policy. of carrying mo riders on
your hands. To get rid Of such riders,
use soap and clean water freely,
early, and often. Always, without
fail, wash your hands thoroughly,
before eating. And if you have any
thing to do with the preparation of
food for the table, wash your hands
before handling the food.
Gas further safeguard, if you
have not been immunized-that is
protected-against typhoid within the
last two or three years, go to your
doctor and have yourself protected
against it. Three NEGOTIATIONS are ne
cessary-a week apart for each one
to secure immunization. The State
Department of Health furnishes the
vaccine, free of charge, so your only
expense will be for the doctors fee.
eff you are hiking or camping, or
even if you are out only for short
auto ride, boil any drinking water or
milk that comes from strange or
questionable sources.
"Some years ago, we used to ex-
pect certain amount of what was
called vacation typhoid. But with the
gradual extension of the sanitary
supervision of public water supplies
thruout our own State and thruout
other states, and as result of the
precautions that are taken by indi-
viduals we get less and less of the va
cation typhoid each year If the pre-
cautions that I have suggested are
taken, summer typhoid as well as ty-
phoid at any other season, can be cut
down even further"

An Interesting Fact.
General George Washington

General GEORGE WdSNlHStOH
Those who have followed this series
of articles on interesting facts in his
tory as they relate to Maryland, must
have reached the conclusion that this
state, from the very beginning, was
destined to play most important part
in shaping this republic. This is not
alone attributed to her geographical
location, but rather to the intelligence,
foresight and liberty-loving attributes
of our progenitors.
During the American Revolution,
Maryland furnished troops for nearly
every battle field from Massachusetts
to Georgia. In the French and In
dian War, had Braddock, the English
General, needed the advice and warn
ings of General Washington and other
American officers, it is highly prob
able that that war would have been
won on Maryland soil, as the defeat of
the British and American forces in
the attack on Fort Duquesne would
have been averted.
1t may be truthfully said that
Washington "won his spurs" on the
soil of the Free State, and Thomas
Johnson, a Marylander, must have
been directed by an unseen force,
when he nominated him for command
er-in-chief of the continental forces at
Philadelphia on June Is, Its.
Again it would appear to be the
hand of destiny that urged an orga-
nized group of Annapolis citizens in
1888 to unite with the Assembly to
invite the Congress of the Confedera-
ton to permanently make its home
in Maryland. For this purpose they
offered the "Stadt House and Public
Circle in the City of Annapolis" and
agreed to build thirteen dwelling
houses and other buildings for the
residence of the delegates, at an ex-
pense mot exceeding thirty thousand
pounds specie".
Whites this hope did not materia-
lie, yet the Congress did meet in
Annapolis, and it seems entirely fit
ting that General Washington, the
victorious commander in chief of the
Continental armies, should, on Deem
Der %, 1888, under impressive cere-
monies, at that session, and on Mary
land soil, surrender the commission
which had been given him on the
nomination of a Marylander.
