Note These Features

In appearance this New MILLER BAL
LOON speaks for itself. 1t is large and mas
sive looking, with deep-cut wide tread of
center traction design. The edges of the
tread are bounded with silver stripes and a
medallion with silver background adds
smart finishing touch.
The edges of the New MILLER BALLOON
are low to prevent road pounding and carcass
separation so common in ordinary tires. The
sturdy tread blocks and ribs grip the road
securely, giving utmost driving safety and
slow, even wear.

Health conditions among Wash

at the figures on the subject

In recent resolution by Rep

of New York. it was stated that
81 per cent of all school chill.
dren in the first grade and
kindergarten had physical de-
fects of some kind or another.
While this is true, an analysis
of the figures shows that the
majority of the ailments are not
of a serious nature, DR.. Fowler
said.
Examine 1000
Out of almost 1000 children
in the first grade examined last
year. 67.2 per cent had decayed
teeth and 46.6 per cent defective

Gradual elimination of all

day by Chairman Bowman, West
Virginia, of the health subcom-
mittee. 1t follows suggestions of
the National Park and Planning
Commission.
The Bowman substitute would
prohibit occupancy of any alley
dwelling after July l, 1910. Mean
while, it is proposed that the
President and the United States
Housing Commission be allocated
a revolving fund of $4,000, ,OO0 to
buy UP or condemn existing alley
dwellings, to replot the alleys and
lots adjacent thereto, and to con-
struct and sell or lease sanitary
buildings to replace the present

WOMAN POISON
VICTIM FIGHTS
To RECOVER

With what physicians declare
is about an even chance for re-

year-old brunette who drank
poison, today Is fighting for her
life in Garfield Hospital in the
hope that she can recover ana
go back to her husband, from
whom she is declared to be
estranged.
Mrs. Bierley was brought to the
hospital unconscious early Sun
day morning by police who had
been summoned to the apartment
in the 1900 block Ogden st. N.
W., by Charles w. King, so, q
real estate operator, with whom
Mrs. Bierley Is said to have

WAR SEEN
AS COMPANIES
INCREASE

Maintaining that the taxicap
situation in the city is rapidly
becoming acute, advocates of the
bill pending in the Senate to
grant the Public Utilities Com
mission authority to meet the
condition, are urging the Senate
District Committee to expedite
consideration of the measure.
,Cenator Arthur Capper, of
Kansas, chairman of the COM
mittee, said today that he Is
anxious to do everything possible
to speed up committee delibera-
ton on the matter. He said that
he will bring it up as soon as
possible and that he expects to
have the committee take action
by next week.
Will Hold Hearings
Many letters asking that public
hearings be held on thu bill have
1CN4 ANNCANCO Wy JA1C sSO1A111AAtGCG
and, in view of these and of the
importance Of the measure, Cap
per will undoubtedly give both
proponents and opponents a
chance to be heard.
Most of the letters from indivi-
dual taxicab owners are In opposi-
ton to the bill, but on the other
hand there is a large sentiment
that it should be enacted. There
seems to be little doubt that at
present committee members are
disposed to report it favorably.
The measure is fostered by the
Public Utilities Commission, which
sent it to the committee with O
request for early consideration
on the ground that enactment Of
its provisions is necessary If the
commission is to be in a position
to deal with q threatened taxi
cab war. Since the measure was
submitted many firms have en-
tered the local taxi field. They
operate hundreds of cabs and it
is the general belief that they
have immensely complicated the
local transportation problem.
Three Provisions
The bill contains three princi-
pal provisions. One of these
would make it necessary for q
person contemplating entering
the taxi business here to obtain
from the commission a certificate
that his project was necessity
and convenience to the public.
This in effect would permit the
commission to limit the number
Of cabs operating here.
Under another provision the
commission would be empowered
to require cab owners and oper-
atorS to establish proof of their
financial responsibility in the
event Of accident. The other Sec
ton gives the commission power
to set minimum and maximum
rates Of fare.

give the District Commissioners
authority to regulate outdoor
signs.
The bill has been drawn by
the Commissioners and was sent
to Capper today with the request
that he expedite it.
The Commissioners point out in
q memorandum set forth some OF
the difficulties they have en-
countered in enforcing regulations
governing this form of advertis-
ing.
According to their letter "the
Commissioners have for s)me
time been embarrassed in enforc-
ing the present sign regulations,
due to the fact that unoer the
provisions of the act of July ],
1902. no permit is required for
sign which purports to advertise
q business conducted or commod-
tty sold on the premises, and as
result many Objectionable signs
have been displayed promiscu,

little more than 100000 a year on

unfavorably with other cities.

There is need for larger ap-
preparations in this field" DR..
Fowler stated. II have always
been in favor of medical inspec-
tion in schools both as method
OF protecting children from com
municable diseases and also to
prevent trouble later on"
Both the Chamber of Con-
