PROTESTED

Pointing out widespread viola.
lions of the one-Way regulation on
Thirteenth Street Northwest,
Saturday afternoons, the Keystone
Automobile Club today offered this
as an example Of a street selected
for special traffic rules where
regulations are not properly en-
forced.
The report stated:
ut is futile to select certain
streets at random in various
parts Of Washington for special
traffic treatment unless the
regulations promulgated for
these streets are accompanied
by diligent and continuous en-
fOrcement, together with ample
notification to all motorists in
the form Of properly placed
signs"
The club said that while VIOLA
lions Of the one.way rule on Thir.
tenth Street Saturday afternoon
were widespread, IL per cent of
the cars being driven in the wrong
direction were operated by mo.
florists who believed the regula-
ton did not hold good on Satur-
day afternoons. The report stated
the regulation calls for its OBJ
Servance on all week days.

POLI'S

The supreme thrill of all musical pictures, that is what 'Metropoli- tan" with Lawrence Tibbet, now current at Polls offers to all thea tergoers. The supreme voice of this most popular of all American sing CTS was never heard to better ad- vantage and with him an impress sive cast headed by Alice Brady, Virginia Bruce and others make up real musical treat.
 On the same program there is Guard That Girl" one of those ever popular mystery thrillers that are so popular with Waterburians and an all-star cast is featured among the many being Florence Rice, Robert Allen and others.
 Wednesday brings another mar velous program to Polls and this week will be outstanding, as it brings for the feature picture the best loved piece of American litera- ture, Way Down East" a tale of the people right from our own part of this glorious country, with the actions and codes we are so familiar with. A great cast interprets the leading roles and this brings to Stardom little Rochell Hudson and with her in the leading male role, Henry Fonda. Others in the cast are Slim Summerville, Margaret Hamilton, Edward Trevor, Andy Devine and others, here will be a picture that this entire town will take to their hearts and tears will run unconfined and mix with the most hilarity you have seen in a long time as this picture unfolds.

No Change Expected
 In Anti-Freeze Law
Manufacturers of Illegal Wood Alcoholic Solution
 Coming Here for Conference

to Corporation Counsel O'Connor. Dr. Godfrey stated today that he would not take any action against the product pending an opportunity for the DuPont representatives to present their side of the case.
 Oppose Change
 The only way the DuPont prod uct could be sold, pr. Godfrey said today, would be through a change in the ordinance. Such action would, it is believed, be strenuously opposed by Medical Examiner Dr. E. H. Kirschbaurn, author of the ordinance limiting the wood alcohol content in anti-freeze solutions to 10 per cent.
 Dr. KirSchbaum contends, on the basis of an extensive survey made by national medical authorities, that even sthe inhaling of the fumes of wood alcohol or the absorption of wood alcohol through the skin can bring blindness about.
 The general belief, it is pointed out, is that only the actual drink ing of wood alcohol can produce blindness. Because of the survey made by federal and other health officials, Dr. Kirschbaum had the ordinance framed reducing the wood alcohol content in the radia- tor solutions to 10 per cent.

 Thursday night a large number of boys attended cerw interesting lecture by William Schofield, Direc- tor of Athletics at Crosby High school in Waterbury. The guest used as his subject, Playing the Game" and spoke to some length on modern college football. MT. Scho- field maintains that the best teams are not always the ones with the best players but the teams with the best team work and coordination A club that works as a unit, where every man does his part can always lick team where the players do not concentrate their efforts for the good of the team. College football of all our modern sports is the highest form of concentrated effort where the individual subordinates personal glory for the good of the team. MT. Schofield then drew parallel between the field of sport and ones activities in the work-a- day world. Especially in the camp this is true where the boys are able to avail themselves of the numer- ous opportunities and thus improve their mental and physical beings, and at the same time cooperate with the camp personnel to improve the general camp conditions.
