BACKS REVAMP|NG
OF THOMAS CIRCLE
Utilities Commission Ap.
proves Extensive Changes
to Cut Traffic Jams.

Thomas Circle is to be extensively
revamped in the near future in move
to minimize traffic congestion there
under plans approved today by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The proposal, already approved by
other interested agencies, provides for
relocation Of the street car tracks,
which now run along the outskirts
OF the circle park so that they would
run through the circle, on either side
Of the landscape development in its
center.
Two Roadways Planned.
The plan also involves the laying OF
two roadways, for north and south
bound vehicular traffic, just outside the
line Of the new street car tracks.
The general outline of the present
circle, however, would be preserved to
a large degree by development of two
long and narrow islands Of parking on
the east and west sides of the circle.
The present curb lines of the property
surrounding the circle are to be moved
back some feet at all points around
Thomas Circle. Small triangular islands
are to be developed on Massachusetts,
avenue on both sides of the circle
where 1t first intersects the present
roadway running around the circular
park.
City Heads Act Tomorrow.
The District Commissioners are ex-
pected to pass upon the proposal at
their board session tomorrow. Plans
for the revamping Of the circle already
have been approved by the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion. the District Highway Department
and by the Capital Traction Co., whose
street car lines operate on Fourteenth
street at this point.
In preparation for this move the
Utilities Commission recently rerouted
the Rhode Island avenue bus line, which
formerly ran through the circle. This
line now is routed west along Rhode
Island avenue to Fifteenth street.

Oficials of the office Of the District
assessor Of taxes today are making a
final check to determine the identity oi
retailers of beer here who failed to pay
taxes by last midnight on the amount
of the beverage they sold here last
month. as required by the beer law.

person before the close of business YES

number of retailers filed their reports
by mail, postmarked yesterday, which
were received by the District this
morning

lively small number will be found to
have failed to pay the tax. Those re-

ably this salve, which had been applied
to her body, was the direct and proxi-
mate cause ~ Lef death; that this
treatmen. was barbaric, homicidal,
against all tenets Of modern medical
practice and quackery Of the worst kind.
THE application Of this salve was
characterized by one Of the doctors as
an overt act of great gravity

had been led to believe that this So
called secret medicine devoured can

but did not touch live or healthy It's

THAT these applications were given
without an incision being made or a
section taken of the growth In Mrs.
Britton's breast, without which, the
doctors most emphatically testified, 1t
could not be ascertained whether a
cancer was present.
I'm fact, it was their conclusion that
If this woman had a malignant growth
of the size and character maintained

DOCTORS DISCUSS
PITUITARY GLANDS
RELATION TO LIFE
U. S. Congress of Physicians
and Surgeons Devotes Sym
postum to Brain Functions.
Five SPECIFIC H0RMONES
REVEALED IN RESEARCH
One of Chemicals Secreted in Blood
From Anterior Lobe Con-
trolls Growth.

Almost In the mathematical center OF
the brain is q tiny structure which,
secreting extremely minute amounts OF
powerful chemicals into the blood, plays
an almost miraculous part of the regu-
lation Of life.
The American Congress Of Physicians
and Surgeons devoted a symposium to
the functions of this tiny mass of brain
matter. the pituitary gland, at the Ma
tional Museum yesterday. Psychologists
are just beginning to understand its
complex functions.
Study of Hormones.
From the front half Of 1t alone, con-
ductors of the most recent researches
revealed, come at least five potent and
specific hormones. There may be two
or three more, and the absence of any
one of them produces striking and far
reaching changes in the behavior OF
the body. They were described by DR.
Herbert M. Evans Of the Rockefeller
Institute and DR.. J. B. Collip Of Nc
Gill University, both of whom are in
the midst of efforts to untangle the
strange chemical complex
One Of the chemicals secreted into
the blood from the anterior lobe OF
the pituitary controls growth. Without
it, DR.. Evans said, growth stops and a
strange sort Of dwarf is created whose
bones and tissues remain in an in
fantile stage, but without any Of the
blessings Of perpetual youth. Differ
ent from this is a "fat metabolism
hormone," another chemical which
regulates the production Of breas,
81 ,r-hir Iaf fhe
activity of the thyroid gland, and
activity of the adrenal gland. Over
stimulation of another hormone, not
yet isolated, is believed to be a causa
tive agent In diabetes.
Subject to Tumors.
The pituitary. it was pointed out, Is
subject to tumor growths, which, dis
turbing its normal secretions, lead to
all sorts of strange bodily anomalies
1t formerly was believed that the gland
was essential to life itself, since per-
sons from whom it was excised in
variably died within a short time.
1t is now certain, however, that these
deaths were due to injury to the brain
itself in the course of the operation ano
which improved surgical procedure The
gland can De removed ana many OF lts
functions served by extract injections
However, DR.. Evans pointed out, the
body cannot get along indefinitely
without this mysterious organ. The
symposium was devoted largely to dis
cussion Of the relations Of the pituitary
hormones to child birth problems.
The problem was discussed by Drs
Emil Novak of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Robert T. Frank and Henry A
Riley of New York City, and Carl G
Hartman Of Baltimore
At the conclusion Of the session the
Keyes medal, new award for out
standing accomplishment in surgery
was presented to Dr. Alfred Newton
Richards Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania. The presentation was made by
DR.. Harry A. Fowler Of Washington
president of the American Association
of Genito- Urinary Surgeons,

OUST|NG CHILDREN
FROM GROUNDS HIT
Police and School Authorities
Deny Any Part in Closing
of Play Area.

A controversy as to who is responsible
for ordering children not TO play on the
Adams School playground, Seventeenth
and r streets, appeared at an impasse
today when both police and school
authorities said they could not imagine
why the playground was closed. un ess
residents of the neighborhood had pro-
tested against its use.
The question was broached by Thomas
z. Lodge, an officer of the American
University Park Citizens Association,
at meeting last night when he an
nounced he had seen policeman oust
youthful ball players from the grounds
few days ago.
Unaware Of Protests.
In reply to an inquiry today DR..
Frank W. Ballou. superintendent Of
District schools, stated he was not aware
of any protests originating in his office
against the use of the Adams grounds,
although the school bui ding has been
converted into a branch office for the
Franklin School administrative head
quarters.
DR.. Ballou said, however, school au-
thorities have received protests from
residents of the neighborhood who did
not wish the Adams grounds used after
school hours. These complaints were
referred to the Police Department. he
said
Capt Edward Kelly Of No. precinct
said this morning there is no standing
order in his Office to prevent children
from using the Adams grounds. and so
far as his records show no specific COM
plant on the subject has been received
from the neighborhood in recent months.
The American University Park As
sociation has authorized P. H. Lough-
ran. chairman of its Committee on Edu-
cation, to investigate the matter.
Backs Utility Act Change.
The association went on record for
elimination of the principle Of go
ing concern" value In determining the
valuation of gas companies for rate
making purposes. 1t also advocated
amendment of the public utilities act
so as to void the right of appeal on
questions of fact. limiting appeals on
questions of law only. This would take
from the court power to act as fact
finding body.
The association asked for lower prices
of milk in the city without lowering
the present quality.

The economy of intelligent spend

gather speed, management must realize

ceived in active circulation in the form
Of wages and salaries can condition
of sound prosperity be developed. The

doing much to stimulate returning
