BAN IS ADVOCATED
Citizens Forum of Columbia
Heights Also Votes for
D. E.. "Home Rule"

The Citizens Forum Of Columbia
Heights favors a ban on all-night
parking, having voted, IA to Q, to
adopt such a resolution at its meeting
last night in the Powell Junior High
School.
The resolution set no specific hours
for the ban and left the date Tor IN
stitution of the rule, If adopted for
the District, to the judgment Of traf-
&c officials.
w. w. Coulliette, president of the
forum, said, however, he believed au-
thorities would set the date after am
pie time had been allowed for citizens
to make necessary garage arrange
mentS, probably six months after the
adoption date.
The necessity for such ban Is an
economic question" Mr.. Coulliette
said, which if not adopted at this
time will be necessary later. Prac-
tically every city of any size In the
East has already found such action
necessary and it is now time Tor
Washington to follow suit"
Feared Garage Racketeering.
Members opposing the ban pointed
out that many citizens would be de-
prived of driving privilege because OF
the added expense for garage. 1t
was proposed that a QUESTIONABLE be
sent all residents of the section tor
their opinion on the subject. No ac-
ton was taken on the proposal.
Oliver E. Foulk, secretary of the
forum, said he was at first SkepticaI
OF the proposed ban because of the
possible garage racketeering, but has
since changed his mind. There are
many vacant properties which could
be used for parking purposes, he said,
which are now idle.
Burd w. Payne pointed to the state
ment of Traffic Director Van Duzer
that it was safer to ride in an auto
mobile In Washington than to walk
He further stressed figures made pub
lie by the traffic director showing 79
lives have been taken in traffic acci-
dents here during the past seven
months. An average Of one person Is
injured here every two hours, the re-
port said.
Favors Home Rule"
Inc forum VOLeQ Unanimously TO
back some form of home rule" A
committee of nine persons, headed by
Mr. Payne, was appointed to consider
the question and report at the next
meeting.
The next meeting, however, will not
be held until the third Tuesday in
September at the Powell Junior High
School. A special meeting will be
called between the present date and
that time if necessary, Mr. Coulliette
announced.
Mr.. Payne said he thought better
representation of the people would be
acquired through this plan than un-
der national representation. Under a
form of congressional representation,
he pointed out, an actual voice of the
people would not be had for the Dis
trict, but rather members of Congress
would have to deal with national
problems. No proposal for running
the city was submitted, but it is the
aim of the committee to have such
a plan ready by the next meeting
date.

That tuberculosis is fast killing off the Eskimo and that it will not be long before the whites in contact with natives will suffer from the plague to as great an ex tent as the natives are now do- ing, are the beliefs of the Creigh- ton University chemists
 Concerning Nome, Dr. Levine and Professor Bauer said, "We like Nome imm ensely. Tn all our travels we have never been to d city where the people are as friendly, open-hearted, gracious, kindly and hospitable as in Nome. ?
 This year marks the first of a series of annual scientific trips to Alaska by the scientists from Om aha. They intend to leave here on the Victoria which is due to leave Seattle on August for Nome.

THEORY ADVANCED THAT RADIuM IS
 CAUSE LIGHTNING

For this guessing Wait and Me- Nish substitute more definite in- formation. They find that radium is carried up into the atmosphere only to rain again in the showers that attend lightning storms. Since not enough radium would thus fall into a catch-basin even as big az an ordinary lake. We must accept inferences---in this case readings of measuring devices correlated with thunderstorms. The aggree- ment is son good that case for radium rain is made out.
 All this dovetails neatly with the discovery, made a few years ago in South Africa by Drs. B. F. J. Schonland and J. P. T. VII joen, of electrons which spout from volcano-like thunderclouds and which are almost as powerful as the cosmic rays. The clouds are tense with electricity---a gen. eric name for electrons. Radium lifted from the earth in much the
 manner pictured by Drs. Wal and McNish, bombards the air molecules of the clouds with an incessant fire of particles. It Is as if a match had been applied to kunpowder. The tense cloud can no longer contain itself. A terrific flash follows and with a fountain of elsctron plays. with

RESEARCH CHEMISTS HERE STUDYING EsKIMOs

In Nome doing research work on Eskimos now are pr. Victor B. Levine, professor of biological chemistry and nutrition in the Cr- eighton University school of Med- icfne in Omaha, Nebraska and Charles w. Bauer, Professor of chemistry in the school of Phar- macy of the same University.
 Hhe work of the two men con- sists in making physical measure- ments of Eskimo children, deter mining their nutritional status and also their basal metabolism. They are also running tests to determine the susceptibility of Es kimo children to tuberculosis, to diptheria and to scarlet fever
 Leaving Seattle on the steamer Aleutian, pr. Levine and Profes- sor Bauer went to Seward, where they took the Alaska Railroad to Nenana. From there the two took a river boat down the Yukon. mak- ing their first stop for observa- lions on Eskimo children at Ak ulurak. After leaving there the scientists obtained valuable in- formation in reference to the nat ives at Hamilton. They went on

SHOWERS OF RADIUM
(New York Times.)

The rocks are full of radium. From them come rays which are forever colliding with air atoms, wrecking them and thus making them electrically sensitive. For over generation physicists have been aware of this effect---"ioniza- tion'' Attempts to measure 1t led to the strang discovery that instead of decreasing. at great heights 1t actually increased. The physicists shielded the instruments with lead to cut of the rays from the rocks. Still the effect increas ed with the altitude. At last it was concluded that not only IS there radium in the rocks to cleo trify the air, but also some pow erfui outer radiation. Thus were the cosmic rays discovered.
 Just how radium was able to charge the atmosphere Is a mys- tery that seems to have been cleared up by Drs. G. R. Wait and A. c. McNish of the Carnegie In stitution at Washington. It haa been assumed that not only Is there direct smiting of the air as it swept against radium-bear- ing rocks. but that radium atoms are torn loose and blown abou.

to St. Michael, where they con tinued their research, and then came to Nome on July 24th.
 During their first week in Nome Dr. Levine and Professor Bauer spent good deal of their time in the office of Judge Charles w. Thornton. where they examined records of births and deaths for Cape Nome Precinct from 1916 Ito 1888, inclusive. Following their work in the Recorders Of flee. the research chemists start ed to make physical tests of 80 King Island children.
 Looking over their completed records, pr. Levine and Profes- sor Bauer have come to the con clusion that Eskimo children are one hundred percent susceptible to tuberculosis. and that. accord ing to the records of deaths which they examined, hfty percent Of Es- kimo deaths are due to tubercus- osis.
 The life span of the Eskimo Is |20 years, according to the cal culations of the visiting chem lists, and tue importance of this |iigure can be seen when 1t is tax en into consideration that the av- craze life span of people in the United States is 5S years.

H. Barry. of Philadelphia.

J. H. Barry. of Philadelphia.
 In 1865. s. R. .Colthorp. Of Rox- bury, Mass, took out papers to patent the streamlined car but it is only within the past year that such designs have been put into practice. The Associated Press quotes Charles l.. Howard. Assist ant General Counsel for the Vest ern Railroad Association. as ex- plainng the reason for the elapse of time.
 He explained, it in this manner:
 Barry and Calthorp took out the first patents in their field and were far ahead of their times. For many years following their days comfort and speed of travel were not the portant=things. It was only necessary that We be moved from place to place with cut loss of life and limb.
 Today it is different. We Ie- mand, in addition to safety, the utmost comfort and mile or two a minute speed, and we are get ting it. Barry and Galthorp plant ed the seed for air-conditioning and streamlining of trains, but it took the opportune moment and skilled engineers to cultivate the seeds to the successful growth they have attained
 Calthorp cited retarding of speed caused by wind resistance in his application, and added: 'To dim finish this atmospheric resistance is the object of my invention. ,.
 The speed he believed attainabls was not estimated, but from draw ings it resembled closely the mod ern bullet-shaped train.
 Barry's application stated how he invented new and useful machine for effective ventilating and cooling other closed vehicles, and for ventilating and cooling public and private buildings in whole or in part, steamboats, steamships and sailing vessels"
