Forest Hills Association Says
Condition of Gates Road
MenaceS Health.

Playing District authorities for neg
iecting the health of school children
and for permitting holes to remain In
Gates road, the Forest Hills Citizens
Association, at a meeting in the Meth
odist Home, Connecticut avenue and
Ellicott street, last night directed a
committee to again take up with TIE
Commissioners the matter of having
the roadway covered temporarily with
cinders until such time as it is found
possible to permanently resurface 1t.
The Gates road is not a public high
way, 1t was shown, but 1t has been
used as such for many years. The
District is said to have taken 1t over
through lack of tax payments by the
former owner and several years ago was
disposed Of in tax sale. 1t Is a
common occurrence for taXicabS, deliv-
cry trucks and other vehicles to be-
come mired there and it is a menace
to the health Of children going to and
from school, 1t was said.
Street Extension Urged.
Extension of Thirtieth street to DAY.

hard-surfaced roadway on Thirtieth
street also will be urged Of the Com

This improvement would provide easier
access to school for the many children

The association voted to renew its
efforts to have the cut-back switch of
the Capital Traction Co. at Van Ness
street removed to q point on Connec-

The traction company informed the as
ISOLATION that this would not be FEAST
BILE. It was decided to ask the Pub
lie Utilities Commission to order this
change.
L. A. Carruthers, chairman of the
transportation committee, was instruct
ed to appear before the Public Utili-'
ties Commission next Monday at a
hearing to decide on the placing of
street car safety zones on Connecticut
avenue at various points between TIL
den street and Chevy Chase Circle.
The need for these zones was stressed
by number of members and Mr.. Car
ruthers will seek TO have them estab-
lshed as a measure Of safety.

those desiring to afiliate with Forest

quire how to tetll a prime num-
beri from a composite number,
the latter having other factors
than. itself and /. If number
ends in 5 or 0, or in an even
digit, we know it is composite.
But suppose it ends in a 8. 7
or 8. There is a simple rule,
known as the rule of nine."
which is worth remembering.
II the sum, of all the digits is a
multiple of 3 or 8, then the
number itself is divisible by or
9. For instance, take 81.
The sum of the 2 and Z is 9.
Hence al is divlsible by g., and
also by 8. Take the number 243.
Here 2 plus plus 8 make 8;
and hence 243 is ,divisble by 9,
and also by 8.
A considerable amount of
work on this problem of prime
numbers has been done by Pas
cal, Lagrange and other ma5he-
maticians But the calculations
are vastly tedious and laborious.
Prof. Leonard e. Dickson, Of
the University Of Chicago,
author. of the monumental His
tory of the Theory of Numbers,
has said: ITO tell whether a

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

There are books and books.
Some are more valuable than
others.
Yet. when Nell is said and
done, the value of book has
little to do with its subject
matter or who wrote it.
The value of a book depends
upon what it does for you.
Some might argue, for in
stance, that a racy detective
yarn, built upon far-fetched
premises and wholly artificial
in story and development would
be of less consequence than a
learned tome written by a
master mind, or a book of
poetry or a novel with a search
ing. true character study.
Such a contention, however,
would be debatable.
Frankly, one of the latter
kind would be more lasting,
but would 1t give more pleas
ure and recreation than a mys-
terry story?
The point, of course, is this:
What does one read for?
Unfortunately, too many peo-
pie approach the reading of a
book as a job, and disagree
able one at that.
Probably it's a leftover point
of view from school days, when
all books were foreboding.
Individuals like that are the
very ones who should think of
the pleasure and recreation
which books can yield rather
than the knowledge or educa-
tion value they may contain.
First stop being afraid Of
books, and soon you will, sort
of automatically, crave the
deeper and richer ones.
It's a good deal like eating.
We do not always want plain
food. Occasionally, at least,
we crave a rich and fullsome
dish.
Choose always the book that
suits you're mood at the time.
And never be ashamed Of the
book you fancy reading.
There are those who do not
like to, be seen with q book
with a flaming jacket announc-
ing a murder mystery. They
seem to think that q Sedate-
looking volume with q, profound
title impreSSes more.
But whom does one read for?
Why should anybody even
bother what others may think
Of their reading tastes?
II a book pleases you. you
viii want TO drink i'm every
word. II. on the other hand.

troit. Of course, there is an
amount of police connivance
and corruption in these cities
which probably does not exist
here, although we are making
a start in that direction.
Washington still has time to
nip in the bud the efforts to
gang" it. We can keep out
the undesirable element from
other cities if our police are
alert. Fighting gangsters is a
little more difficult work than
raiding speakeasies and mum.
ber games, I admit; but the po-
lice can well afford to let the
speakeasies alone for a short
time while they go after big
ger game.
We don't want any more
payroll robberies here. We
ought to adopt stern tactics at
once to discourage them.
