CITIZENS WANT us.

Richmond Park Group Cites
: Failure OF District to
Develop Center.

Because the District Government in
its four years Of ownership has failed
I to develop the playground of the
! rhoebe Hearst School, the Richmond
7 Park Citizens AssociattGul passed a
resolution at its first meeting OF the
I Fail season last night, asking the
return Of the playground site to the
! FEDERAL Government, in the hope Of
receiving p. w. A. funds to perform
/. needed work. At present the play
ground is q bare stretch of cinders.
The resolution was presented to G.
! Marshall Ffnnan Of the National
Park and Planning Commission today
The site was turned.-over to the
] District four years ago, Meanwhile.
! the rapid growth OF the Richmond
Park section has increased the de-
mand for playground facilities.
In considering the proposed rerout-
ing of street cars and buses, 1t was
resolved to ask removal Of the Wis
consin avenue street cars from Massa-
chusetts avenue to the District line,
substituting bus service. A cross
town bus between Richmond Park and
Mount Pleasant was asked to speed
up service.
The association also asked restora-
ton OF street lights that have been
removed under the city's economy
program. The use of globes for the

A protest was also registered against

200 KINDS OF ASTIGMATIsM

There are more than 200 kinds and
degrees Of astigmatism, q defect of vision
resulting from irregularities in the surface
Of the cornea or lens of the eye, according
to a bulletin Of the Better Vision Institute.
Usually the irregularity runs almost d.
rectIy across the field of vision, but there
are scores of variations and complications
Of simple astigmatism. The result Of the
defect is blurred streak or. series Of
streaks in everything the astigmatic eye
sees.
Astigmatism is often hereditary, but
it may also be caused by inflammation,
operation or injury. Glasses used at an
early age offer the only hope Of cure, con-
tinues the bulletin; usually if it is not cor
rected before the child is six years old,
when eyes are still growing, there is little
chance that sight will ever be completely
normal. If astigmatism remains unc0r-
rected by glasses, the better eye may take
over the work Of seeing altogether, leaving
the other undeveloped. Inequality in the
strength Of the two eyes is a very serious
handicap in later life, when a perfect
blending Of the images Of both eyes is
needed

aSAvE-A-LIFE"

Governor Sholtz has issued procla-
nation for a state .Save-A-Life' cam
paign for the month of August in an eff
fort to check automobile accident fatali-
ties. There have already been 284 deaths
of this type in the first six months of this
year
1t is noteworthy fact that the i'm
creased toll of lives and the heavy number
of accidents on the highways of Florida be-
gan to rise in August of 1888. The respon-
sibiIity for this may be the increased num-
Der Of motor vehicles on the highways or
the absence of the depressed feeling of the
public due to the relief received from the
CWA and the FERA. The effect IS here,
no matter what the cause may be-
State Safety Director Asher Frank in
summarizing the actions of the drivers and
pedestrians and vehicles involved in acct
dents finds that
81 per cent of fatalities due to
speeding,
81 per cent run off the road. hit
fixed objects,
81 per cent pedestrians crossing
in middle of block and against sig
mails,
"a per cent children playing in
streets. running from behind parked

I'VE next come to .Cripplesi' on the

number of cars with defective equipment
having accidents,
81 per cent have defective
brakes,
SO per cent one-eyed cars, no tail
lights,
48 per cent worn out tires.
This is why. the Governor is asking
that cities pass an ordinance requiring all
vehicles using the streets of that particular
city to have an inspection" said Mr..

Mr.. Frank stated that he hopes every

civic clubs and individuals will lend their
aid to starting accidents on the downward
trend in Florida

A NATIONAL POWER POLICY

Electricity and power are twins Of
the parents. Science and Industry. These
twins have made tremendous progress in
the past half century. Great concerns have
been created to spread the use Of cleo
tricity into every nook and corner, and
power has been turning the wheels for
civilization. ~. e.
Now, the question COMES up az Ia
whether or not private power companies
are to be wiped out Of business, and whe-
ther electrical deveIopme nfsshah pass Al1
most entirely into the hands Of the gov
eminent. The new government projects
in Tennessee and elsewhere are 70 gigantic
that they are threatening TO ruin the bust
ness Of electric companies and power pro-
dueers. That would be great calamity.
II the new National Power policy to
be worked out by the cOmpittec APP
pointed by President Roosevelt solves the
problems that confront the direct clash Of
interests between public and private in
dnstries the committee will accomplish a
task that AT present seems impossible.
