Highway Researchers
Consider Causes Of
Night Blindness
Lights on Automobiles
Should Be Adjusted
And DINNERS Used

Night blindness, frequently used
as an excuse in after-dark traffic
accidents, Is the result of multiple
factors This was the consensus of
delegates to the eighteenth annual
meeting of the Highway Research
Board of the National Research
Council meeting in the National
Academy of Science Building.
Based on detailed reports from
many States, the subcommittee
studying the causes of night acci-
dents, attributed night blindness to
vitamin A deficiencies, increasing
age, fatigue, partial intoxication and
certain forms of physical infirmities.
The committee urged that head
lights be adjusted once a year, and
on meeting an approaching car,
that lights be dimmed. These sug-
gestions, followed by motorists,
would materially reduce night acci-
dents, it was agreed.
1t was pointed out that while two
thirds of accidents happen at night,
there is only one third of the traffic
there is in the daytime. One of the
excuses given for accidents at traffic
light intersections is that the signal
is not visible. The committee urged
the universal use of 6O-watt lamps
to compel attention" In places
where the lights background is un-
favorable, 100-watt lamp should be
installed, it was said and a battle
plate set behind it to black out other
lights in line.
In suggesting slower driving at
night, it was said that not only is
it safer, but more economical At
slower speeds, it was pointed OUT less
gasoline and oil is used.
Elimination of billboards and out
door advertising along highways was
advocated at the meeting.
Outdoor advertising is unsightly
and a traffic hazard, declared P. H.
Elwood, professor of landscape
architecture at Iowa State Univer-
sity. "A billboard is most objection
able when you can see it." he said.
In a picture contest of roadside
development, particular mention was
given South Carolina for its work In
replacing roadside displays with
natural landscaping. In the general
contest among % States, Massachu-
sets was placed first with an exhibit
of roadside development along the
Concord turnpike. Other States
winning class awards and the or
ganization's gold seal were Ohio,
with road hazard elimination, and
Connecticut and Michigan, for the
best roadside picnic plots. No ex-
hibits we're submitted by the District
of Columbia.

Major Church Role
In Economic Life
OF U. 5. Urged
Christian Living School
Hears Most of Evil
Has Roots There

A warning that the church must
play a larger part in the economic
life of the country was issued last
night by DR.. Mark A. Dawber at the
second days session of the Washing
ton School in Christian Living at
Calvary Baptist Church.
DR.. Dawber, executive secretary
of the Home Missions Council, told
his listeners that "by far the largest
part of the evil and deviltry that
exists in the world is rooted in the
economic processes by which men
earn living. If the church is really
concerned with the evil which de-
stroys mems lives, then it must find
a way to deal realistically with our
economic life"
The speaker declared that 1T is
because of economic and other con-
ditions that the Church of the Liv-
ing Lord must lift up its voice not
merely III protests, but rather in q
positive, constructive way to lead out
into the realization of an economic
way of life in whic'' liberty, security
and the pursuit OF happiness may
become the heritage of the people" :"
Dr.. Dawber said that after a man
has accepted Christ as his Savior,
unless it is possible to conserve this
commitment where he earns his
daily bread, the future of his Chris
tianity is very doubtful"
Speakers on the program yesterday
included DR.. Roswell p Barnes, as
sociated secretary of the department
of international justice and good
will. Federal Council of Churches;
Dr. L. Foster Wood, secretary of the
councils Committee on Home and
Marriage, and DR.. Horaell Hart of
Duke University.

Chicago UroIoeist
Before Grand jury

DR.. Louis Schmidt, noted Chicago
urologist, who is president of the
Illinois Social Hygiene League, today
was called to testify in the District
Court group medicine probe. 1t
was said he would be the sole wit
ness today before the grand jury
which is sitting charges of re
straint of trade" against the Amer
lean Medical Association and the

|. DR.. Schmidt, who has been called
the. father of urology," was the CEN
ter of bitter fight in Chicago medi-
cal circles a decade ago, when he
was ousted by the Chicago Medical
Society for the operation of clinic
in connection with the league. In
protest at this action, DR.. Herman
Bundesen, commissioner of health
for Chicago, resigned from the
society.
DR.. Schmidt is one of those per-
sons named in the District Court
subpoena which the American
Medical Association is seeking to
have quashed. The Justice Depart
ment is attempting, through this
subpoena, to get records of the
A. M. A. bearing on the cases of DR..
Schmidt and others.
Justice James M. Proctor was ex-
pected today to rule on the plea to
quash the subpoena, but no decision
was forthcoming.
With the inquiry in its seventh
week there still was no indication
today from the Department of JUS
tice as to when the windup might
be expected.

Prosecution 10 Bring
ThreeDoorstoCourt
At Gaming TRIAL
Elaborate Setup for
Protection Charged
By U. S. Attorney

A story of police battering down
wooden and steel doors; of a barber
shop that served as a cloak of re-
spectability for a gambling estab-
liShment in the rear, where system
of blinking orange lights warned OF
the approach of the law and ladder
getaway gave access to the roof was
unfolded to a District Court jury
today by Assistant United States
Attorney William S. Tarver.
The case, being heard before JUS
tice Jesse c. Adkins, concerns 8
charge of setting up gaming table
against Phillip r. Davis, 80, and An
thony Sesso, 48, after a raid IN the
700 block of Eighth street Sc. The
prosecutor told the jury in his OPEN
ing statement, made yesterday, that
the raid took place on March 10
1887, and that bets for horse racing
were taken from rookie and other
policemen. and that search war
rant was thus obtained.
Both defendants denied from the
witness stand today any knowledge
of the alleged gambling. Mr.. Davis
said he was only customer at the
barber shop and was outside when
arrested. Mr.. Sesso said he had not
changed the structure of the build
ing. He explained he had rented
the rear of his shop for storage
purposes and denied having heard
sounds of gambling there.
II don't gamble, and I don't be-
lieve in it," Mr.. Sesso said.
Doors in Court.
A feature of the case was the
bringing into court and the intro
duction in evidence of three doors
which Mr.. Tarver said were placed
across the hallway leading from the
street. One was plain plank door
the second was of heavy wooden
construction and the third was q
steel door set in masonry, and Mr.
Tarver told the court and jury ii
was necessary to chisel away the
walls to get down the steel door.
There were signs of "hasty exit
by the time the police broke in, the
prosecutor asserted.
A valentine, addressed to Mr.. Ses-
so, allegedly found in the place, is
one of the pieces of evidence by
which the Government hopes to in
criminate him.
Dissertation on Forms.
Defending the two accused is
Charles E. Ford, who gave the
court and jury a brief dissertation
on the use of racing forms, which
he said give in concise form peril
nent information relative to the
horses. These were allegedly found
in the raided place and Justice Ad-
kins inquired If any one could ex-
plain exactly what they were utilized
for. Then Mr.. Ford explained in a
brief space their purpose to the jury.
The Government contends that an
electric switch in the barber shop
connected with orange lights in the
gambling place that hickered, giving
warning. Before Mr.. Tarver at the
counsel table were masses of wire
and the orange bulbs, which he said
the raiding policemen secured as
evidence.
