adequate, DR.. Scandif1io declared that
from his experience in both private
practice and with Group Health AS

to the type of work done in private
practice, for the reason that we in

The Trafic Committee of the Wash.

The committee will make its recon.
mendation to the Board of Directors
OF the trade organization and at the
same time request that the board

ton.
Van Duzer Stresses Need.
The traffic unit acted at its regular
monthly meeting at Harvey's Res
taurant after Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer had made a strong
plea for public support of the pro-
posal.
We've been talking about this thing
Tor years. Mr.. Van Duzer said, land
"nlle We continue to do nothing but
talk more and more pedestrians are
nelng killed on the streets Of WASH
lngton. approximately 10 per cent
OF those fatally injured in traffic
mshaps in the District each year
are pedestrians.
This is one of the most important
questions you have ever been asked
10 consider" the traf1ic director told
the committee. I'VE urgently need
some sort of regulation that will
give an officer of the law the power
TO protect persons who refuse to look
out for their own protection"
Cleveland Makes Plea.
Washington I. Cleveland. manager
OF the District Motor Club of the
American Automobile Association,
warned that successful enforcement
OF pedestrian control would REQUIRE
the Whole-hearted support OF the
public.
"he present situation is extremely
serious he added. "and We as intelli-
gent men should be able to do some
thing to improve it. Pedestrian con-
troll would be step in the right di-
rection"
One member of the committee de-
clared that if only one life were saved
by the operation of strict pedestrian
control regulations the law would be
worth while.
P. Y. K. Howat. chairman Of the
Subcommittee on Rights and Safety
OF Pedestrians. called attention to
the fact that many large cities
throughout the country have such
regulations. He cited the Districts
traffic death toll. which claimed the
lives OF 70 pedestrians in 1886, 7s in
1887 and more than so so far this
year.
AnacOstia Group Favorable.
The action of the Anacostia Citizens
Association in urging adoption of some
form of pedestrian control last night
raised to IL the number of citizens
groups which have supported the pro-

DR.. Alvin E. w. Wode of Baltimore,
who served his internship at Sibley

been named to the staff of the Green

announced today.
DR.. Wode succeeds DR.. Francis D.
Threadgill, a surgeon, who resigned
several weeks ago because he said he
did not believe surgery could be prac-
ticed from a group standpoint
The newly appointed doctor is a
general practitioner. He was gradu-
ated from the University of Maryland
Medical School in Baltimore and has
also served in the South Baltimore
Hospital.
In announcing the appointment of
DR.. Wode the Board of Directors of
the Greenbelt Health Association
made the following statement:
THE directors of the health asso-
citation and DR.. Wode have discussed
every conceivable angle to the medical
situation at Greenbelt and have q
mutual understanding on them all.
One of the results of these discus
sions is that it is understood that
when some situation arises that con-
Germs the association in any way the
board will exercise the prerogative of
making whatever investigation may be
necessary.
I'm this connection we would like
1t to be clearly understood that mat
tiers of a medical nature between the
doctors and the patients-whethe
they are members of the association
or not-are strictly private concern
between them. and that the board
does not know any of their details,
since all medical records are kept
under lock and key by the doctors.
We do, however, intend to fulfill our
responsibility to the community by
providing to the best of our ability
adequate medical care in the person
OF competent physicians at rates and
fees in keeping with Greenbelt in

Gift Bible and Dictionary
Gaze Gypsy Smith Career
Epping Forest NOmad
Turned Evangelist
at Age of II.

A gift Bible-given him 81 years
ago by an English housewife to whom
he sought to sell homemade clothes
pins-started Gipsy Smith out as an
evangelist.
But the Bible would have been
worthless to the 17-year -old nomad-
who was barely able to piece together
the alphabet from what he had
studied from signs and posters-if
somebody else hadn't presented him
with dictionary soon after.
It's probably inaccurate to call the
clothes pegs the Gipsy boy was ped
ding homemade" because the only
home he knew at that time was a
tent in Epping Forest. once the haunts
Of the legendary Robin Hood.
In 1877 Romany Petulengro (his
Gipsy name) and his clan lived
carefree life in the Royal Forest. He
was proud of his people then and

Became Serious Minded.
But the night after he was given
the Bible that was to lead to his be-
coming one of the worlds best known
preachers Gipsy became serious
minded.
He found something" and took 1t
back to camp. His parents that night
were the first audience of their con-
verted son. The wedge breaking him
away from q nomad's existence was
strengthened no doubt by the fact
two of his older brothers already had
become preachers.
That same year Gipsy left to be-
come the thirty-fifth preacher on the
staff of the Christian Mission, headed
by William Booth, whose organization
later became the Salvation Army.
Still unable to read or write to
any extent, he educated himself while
he carried on his mission work. He
took the Christian name Rodney
Smith, but those who heard him
preach insisted on referring to him
as the "Gipsy Boy" so he became
Gipsy Smith.

HEARING CLOSES
IN M'LEAN CASE
Opposing Counsel Given
Until Friday to Turn
Over Briefs.

Opposing counsel in the case of
Edward B. Mclean, former Washing
ton Post publisher. have until Friday
of the coming week to turn briefs
over to Justice Bolitha J. Laws in
District Court.
The jurist closed the oral hearing
yesterday afternoon. after counsel had
presented their arguments. Justice
Laws indicated that he will likely rule
on the complicated problem during the
week Of November 6, taking the case
under advisement after briefs are In.
Appears As Friend.
Prior to the close Of the hearing
yesterday. Attorney George B. Fraser.
Mr.. McLean's former legal adviser,
asked Justice Laws that if he gets to
the point where Rear Admiral Mark
L. Bristol. U. S. N, retired, the former
publishers ancillary committee here,
should be ousted, some one be appoint
ed for Mr.. McLeans own benefit. Mr..
Fraser made it clear that he was not
suggesting that the justice should or
should not remove Admiral Bristol, but
merely appeared as friend of the
court.
Mr.. Mclean has never been in
court and his interest should be con-
sidered primarily" asserted Mr.. Fraser
Making opposing arguments were
Attorney Neil Burkinshaw, who repre-
sents Admiral Bristol, and Attorney
Austin F. Garfield, who is the guardian
at law. One of the main questions in
the case is whether the Maryland
courts had jurisdiction to adjudicate
Mr.. Mclean as being of unsound mind
and to name Admiral Bristol as COM
mittee. The admiral IS ancillary
committee in the District.
Filled Earlier Petition.
Mr.. Burkinshaw filed a petition re-
Gently on behalf of Admiral Bristol,
asking District Court to discharge Mr.
Garfield as guardian ad Item from
further duties. Previously, Mr.. Can
field had the court issue a rule to show
cause on Admiral Bristol why he
should not be discharged.
Justice Laws will endeavor to
straighten out the tangle and render
decision in the complicated situa-
ton. Mr.. Mclean is now confined as
mental patient in the Sheppard &
Enoch Pratt Hospital at Baltimore.
One Of the questions revolves around
whether Mr.. Mclean abandoned the
District Of Columbia as his residence.
Some time ago, Justice Jennings
Bailey authorized a complete investi-
CATION into the handling of Mr.. Nc
Leans affairs. as well as his commit
ment to the Baltimore institution. Mr..
Garfield challenges the jurisdiction Of
the Baltimore County (Md) Circuit
Court to adjucge Mr.. Mclean insane
in October, 1888.
