STREET CAR ROUTING
AGAIN GIVEN STUDY
First Order by Utilities Commis-
sion Is Expected to Alter Sys-
tenn at Stanton Square.

After a week spent attending ses-
sions of the National Association Of
Railroad and Utilities Commissioners
and hearings before the Federal
Communications Commission on tele-
phone matters, the Public Utilities
Commission yesterday settled down
once more TO consideration Of the
street car rerouting case.
It is expected that the commission
from time to time will issue orders on
individual track adjustments which
will not involve the whole rerouting
scheme. The first, expected this week,
probably will order track cross-over
at Third street and Massachusetts,
avenue northeast, which will allow
street cars to operate westbound on
the north side of Stanton Square,
instead of eastbound as at present,
in order to eliminate the present puz-
zle in which street cars and other
traffic travel in opposite directions on
a one-way street.
Members of the commission, how
ever. declined to speculate as to when
something definite in the way Of an
order on rerouting the entire street
car system might be expected Their
engineers have been at work since
July, two hearings have been held,
and - plans have been offered by
experts.

The complaint of a 13-year-old boy,
who told his school teacher he was
beaten at home, has resulted in four
children being taken from a place
near the Maryland line, where they
lived amid squalor and poverty with
a woman not their mother. She told
police she had been paid to care for
them.
The case evoked from Juvenile
Court Judge Fay Bentley the state
ment that "details of this case outdo
Dickens" She said it revealed the
existence of a condition under which
children can be farmed out to un-
worthy families.
We are going to get to the root
of this evil" she declared in an ad-
dress yesterday at the annual lunch
con of the District Teachers Union
in the Carleton Hotel. She did not
go into the details of the case, which
later were learned from police.
The four children, ranging in age
from 18 days to 13 years. are now in
the receiving home where Trey will
be kept until the case is settled in
Juvenile Court.
Agents Here Sought.
Judge Bentley intimated there may
be a person or persons here who act
as agents for placing of children in
unsupervised homes and receive a
fee for their services. There should
be a law requiring licensing of all

Use of y. S. Health Expert Here
Would Fit General Practice
Many States and Cities Haze Drd,Un
Upon Federal Service for Men
Qualified for Office.

The possibility of assignment of q
Public Health Service agent to the
District Health Department would be
in keeping with a well-established
practice.
There have been numerous instances
in which United States Public Health
Service experts have served as city
and State health officers-at the re-
quest of Governors or mayors.
The first instance was in 1911 when
DR.. George B. Young was detailed as
Commissioner of Health of Chicago,
which Office he held for four years.
During that interval he completely
reorganized the city's health service,
making it a model for a large city.
d.. c. E. Waller was detailed from
1920 to 1922 as State health officer
of New Mexico. From 1918 to 1917,
DR.. A. j. Mclaughlin was State health
officer of Massachusetts. In 1890, DR..
Thomas Parran. jr., was assigned, at
the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt,
then Governor, to reorganize the
health service of New York State, and
he still holds the Ofhce.
Virginia Case Is Cited.
DR.. Warren F. Draper. former as
sistant surgeon general, was assigned
in 1881 as State health officer of Vir-
ginia, and still holds the post. DR.
Robert Oleson, assigned at the re-
quest of Mayor LaGuardia, is now
assistant health commissioner of New
York City. DR.. E. r. Coffey was as
signed this year as State health Off
Ger of Washington.
DR.. F. E Trotter was health Officer
of the Territory of Hawaii while in
the Public Health Service. He Later
gave up his Federal commission to
take over the work permanently. DR..
Victor S. Heizer was health commits
sioner of the Philippines for several
years while in the Federal service.
While on State or city detail, a
health officer retains his commission
in the Public Health Service and
draws his pay from the Federal Gov
eminent, which may, or may not. be
reimbursed by the local government
He acts, however, solely under the
authority of the city or State Con-
troll of public health matters is guar
anteed to the local authorities as a
police power by the Constitution, and
the Federal department can act only
in an advisory and research capacity,

demic, such as that of encephalitis in
st. Louis last Summer, it can send a
man into the field only upon the spe-
cific request of the local health au-
