Before you undertake to treat q cut burn or wound of any kind lt might be well Co have some notion of the way healing occurs. A moro dotniled description Of the h0nllng process will be given ln another talk. lI0re tho signl. ilcnnt fnct iB that now tissue must Do produced to repair the injury.

 There is no doubt whatever that tho popular practice Of apply Ing such crude poisons as earbollz. cd salve, mercury and other pow orful AntiseptIcs," more or less disguised in countless different nostrums, greatly rotards the heaI.

Of course the retarded healing gives more time and opportunity for tho marketing of more "healing" snlves, NO 1t is obvious how the wiseacre layman gets that way.
 We are considering only minor Injuries and ailments, not condt tons that require medical or sur. gical treatment. It would be mistake tO imagine that every sore. ulcer, burn or wound would heal well if let severely alone; only minor iesions do well under the iet-aione policy; serious wounds burns or ulcers require the con. stant supervision of the doctor, and in order to protect the patient against atrocious injury by nature the doctor must be ready to in- terfere and to restrain the blind and cruel excesses of the old har. ridan.

HEARST RELIEF
PLAN PUSHED

An attempt to establish sys-
tenn whereby the needs of Wash
ington's destitute school children
can be given quick attention by
the proper organizations will be
sought late today by welfare work
ers at a meeting sponsored by the
Phoebe Hearst Foundation.
The plight of many children has
been called to the attention of the
foundation, some of them suffer
ing because their parents were not
eligible for relief. Representatives
of 80 public and private charity
agencies were to take up this prob
lem today.
Many of the youngsters are
without adequate clothing, some
need eyeglasses their parents can
not buy, some are ill for the lack
of tonics beyond their means.
AS a clearing house for the
various private and public agen-
cies, the Phoebe Hearst Founda-
ton hopes to devise setup
whereby teachers can be &C.
uuainted Immediately with the
circumstances of their charges,
passing the information on to the
organizations in a position to lend
a hand.

FOR SYSTEM,
THEY THINK
Tube Trains Under Avenue
Suggested at Meeting
Called by Roberts

Need for a subway system in
the District was expressed last
night by civic leaders who gath
cred at the request of Peoples
Counsel William A. Roberts to ad.
wise him on the problems of mass
transportation in Washington.
Meeting in the Department of
Commerce auditorium, the citizens
resolved that the expense of a sub
way construction should properly
be borne by the Federal Govern.
ment, but that the need for such
a system was so pressing that the
District would be justified in
spending the money if Congress
refuses.
Avenue Route Urged
The general route suggested for
the underground trains along
Pennsylvania Avenue in the Fed.
eral triangle, branching north at
some point near the White House
to the outlying sections of the city.
Speakers at the meeting ex-
pressed the view that it might take
10 years to convince necessary
Government agencies that a sub
way is necessary, but urged that
an immediate mpa ign be
launched.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion advocates the construction Of
a subway from Fourteenth and E
Streets Northwest, running west
to TWenty-Second Street and Penn
Sylvania Avenue.
Backed by u. S. Workers
A representative of a private
business group has also an.
nounced intentions of submitting
plans for subway construction.
Among the citizens who voiced
their support of the subway pro-
ject were w. E. Hoffheins. Of the
Federation of Federal Employees,
who said the Federation backed
the plan, and F.. T. Shull, of the
Conduit Road Citizens Associa-
ton, who suggested that the Fed
eral Government finance the con-
Struction.

OVERCROWDED.
SCHOOLS BIC
PROBLEM
Officials Many Attempts Fail
to Relieve Congestion at
Powell Building

School officials frankly con-
fessed today Powell Junior High
School presents problem in over
crowding for which they cannot
find a solution.
The school, located at Hyatt Pl.
and Park Rd. N. w., is situated in
constantly growing community
and is growing in enrolment year
by year.
In 1882 the enrolment at the
school was 861 and it now stands
at 1,197, which is more than 800
beyond the capacity of the build
ing.
Make Numerous Efforts
Numerous efforts have been
made to relieve congestion at the
school. The building. originally
a 16-room elementary school, was
recently given a third floor addi-
ton. The nine rooms added were
expected to remedy the situation,
but after short time, overcroWd-
ing became a problem again.
Shortly after, six rooms in the
johnson Elementary School, across
the street from the junior high
school, were made available to
Powell, but even this failed to take
care of the situation.
DIR. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assiS ant superintendent Of
schools, in commenting on the
Powell congestion, declared:
"The school is just jammed.
We don't know what the an
swer to the problem is"
MANY APARTMENT HOUSES
DR.. Kramer pointed out there
are many apartment houses in
the vicinity of the junior high
school which are crowded with
children.
In addition to the children
enrolled at Powell. there are
more than 800 students of the
seventh and eighth grades at.
tending John Quincy Adams Ele-
mentary School, who should be
taken care of in a Junior high
school.
They cannot be accommodated
at Powell. Consequently, they
have been shelved into the ele-
mentary school building
