The Podiatry Society, joining the
safety campaign under the leadership
Of DR.. o. z. Roggenkamp, 1901 street,
Is adding its strength to that of the
local medical and dental societies in
the campaign against unnecessary
deaths and accidents on the streets
and highways.
The Podiatry Society, organized in
May, 1914, took as its object the ele-
vation and Standardization of the
practice and ethics Of podiatry in the
District and was instrumental In bring
ing about the enactment by Congress
in 1918 of bill legalizing the practice
in the District. Affiliation with the

Of the society in announcing theil

Of the healing arts"

In Washington, 1t was explained, the
local society has made great progress
along scientific lines.
During the Fall and Winter Of
1884," it was stated, scientific lee
lures and clinical demonstrations were
scheduled bi-monthly, this being aug
mented by carefully laid program Of
cooperation with various groups Of
the medical profession. Affiliation with
most of the large hospitals in the
District of Columbia was also sue
cessfully brought about for those po-
diatrists interested in making such a
connection.
1.-THE foregoing has had tendency
to create a better understanding and
q closer bond of friendship between
medicine and podiatry and has prob
ably been responsible more than any
other one thing for the recent prog

tain.

Praising the traffic safety campaign
Of The Evening Star Safety Council
as an example of the type of activity
needed to curb the "frishtful and ap-
palling carnage" on the Nations streets
and highways, the Inalienable Rights
Association, in a letter to President
Roosevelt yesterday, urged a preSi-
Dental proclamation calling to the at
tention Of the Nation the need for
concerted effort to abate the traffic
toll
Declaring that speed "is a danger
Gus form of insanity" in that 1t mot
only endangers the speeder's own life,
but all pedestrians and other careful
motorists as WELL" A. Gary Carter,
grand marshal Of the association,
said that his association cannot con-
ceive of greater or more important
thing before this Nation today than
that some action be taken in a big
way to lower this great toll of life
and injury"
Great List Of Dead Cited.
"I have been called upon by our or
ganization throughout the Nation" he
said in his letter to the President, Ito lay
before you, or to call to your attention,
the great and appalling number OF
deaths and injuries, our annual toll
by automobiles throughout the Nation
caused chiefly by careless speeding
and riotous drivers"
Explaining that his association was
organized to wage q non-partisan
fight to maintain the liberties and
interests Of the pleope, MIR. Garter
said that he had been instructed by
the organization Ito impress upon you
the necessity of calling this condition
to the attention Of the citizenry of our
country by a special proclamation"
Your calling our citizens attention
to this frightful and appalling car
mage that is taking place daily, for more
careful and sane driving. will cut this
great annual casulty list by at least
so per cent" he said. I'VE commend
the local Evening Star paper for its
great human endeavor in picturing
these accidents so graphically as most
commendable. We also wish to give
due credit to Maj Brown in his en-
deavor to curb this riotous driving
here"
Accidents Laid to Carelessness.
Mr.. Carter expressed the opinion
that all accidents are preventable.
"All accidents" he explained, "are
caused by carelessness on the part OF
one or both. Excessive speed and TAX
ing chances increases The number OF
accidents and makes them more severe
when they happen.
This ruthless crushing out Of the
lives of children and killing of adults,
both pedestrians and motorists, on the
altar of speed in the cities and high
ways leaves a great chain of sorrow,
grief and remose in its wake, caused
principally by careless, greedy and
riotous driving, and must be checked u

give the appeal due consideration.

an educated person might have
forged Hauptmann's writing, de.
liberately miSspelling simple
words and thoughtlessly writing
out the larger words correctly.
Mr.. Wilentz predicted he would
explode this argument simply by
introducing in evidence the die
tionary with the tell.tale under

Hauptmann, q foreigner, had to
look up the longer English words
and thus spelled them properly,
while he mistakenly assumed he
knew the common, monosylable
words.

The Hauptmann case hinges
to q great extent on handwriting,

American criminal trial perhaps.
For this reason the greatest
array of handwriting experts ever
assembled for criminal trial in
this country are figuring in It.
Their presence conjureS up the

Mr.. Craigin's story. He told of

Stephen Reynolds of New York,
another Morgan employe, likewise

Of the Corn Exchange Bank of
