Reversing a former ruling, the
judges of Police Court today con-
sented to broadcast their traffic
court proceedings for the benefit
of the current congressional traf-

Representative william T.
Schultz CD of Indiana, chair

The judges met last night with
Representative Schultz and came
to the conclusion that they would
help the traffic campaign by their
decision.
Mr.. Schultz has obtained the
cooperation of all local radio sta

broadcast daily on simultaneous
programs from the traffic court.
Representative Schultz is con-
ducing a campaign to reduce the
number of traffic deaths in Wash.
ington. He will hold a mass meet
ing tomorrow night in the Labor
Department auditorium to which
the public is invited to give its
views on methods of traffic reg

Afraid Children Will
Pick Up Deadly
Tid-Bit

The dog poisoner of Hillcrest
who already has killed more than
100 pets is now threatening the
lives of small children, aroused
and terrified residents Of the once
tranquil community complained
today.
Parents are so fearful of the
strychnine-filled poison tid-bits
spread by the mysterious pet killer
that small children no longer are
allowed to play is fenced yards
unless under constant supervision.
The poisoner first began spread
ing death among the pets Of Hill
crest abou" a year ago-and oper-
ated only at night and in sparsely
settled neighborhoodS.
GROWS BOLDER
But now the pet killer appar-
emily is operating in the day time
and the poison is being tossed into
fenced-in yards where dogs are
romping with small children.
Mrs. Emma Hess, 1918 Alabama
Ave. S. E., whose dog was poi
Soned said:
Our dog was playing in the
yard with my 15-months-old
granddaughter the other day.
The dog was in good health
when he went out into the yard
which is surrounded by a high
fence. There is no way he
could have gotten into the
street.
II happened to look out after
awhile and saw the poor pet
rolling on the ground in agony:
I knew then that someone had
thrown strychnine into our yard
and the veterinarian confirmed
my belief.
FEAR FOR CHILDREN
Nov we are afraid to allow
the baby out in the yard unless
someone is constantly with her.
Like all small children she will
pick things up off the ground
and pop them into her mouth.
Suppose she had found the poi
son before the dog did?

greatly alarmed because we
think that any person heart
less enough to kill a hundred
pets would not hesitate to poi

Amos is as follows: Use arsenate
Of lead at the rate of 10 pounds to
each 1000 square feet of grass.
The arsenate Of lead is usually
thoroughly mixed with 25 times It's
weight Of moist sand This poison
ed sand is then distributed over the
lawn. The poisoned sand may be
broadcast over small areas, but
where there are large lawns, the
use of fertilizer distributors will
reduce the labor involved. Arsen-
ate of lead also may be applied in
liquid form over large areas by the
use of power sprayer developing
from 200 to 800 pounds pressure.
The arsenate of lead is mixed with
water at the rate of one pound of
the lead to two-gallons of water.
This mixture should be applied at
the rate of 20 gallons to 1000
square feet of grass. Good agita-
ton in the sprayer, plenty of hose
between the sprayer and nozzle
and sufficient help are necessary to
make this method effective. Care
must be taken to make the appli-
cation uniform and at the correct
rate. Regardless of the method
of treatment" Amos points out,
''the arsenate of lead should be
washed into the soil with clear
water to remove the poison hazard
for the protection of children and
animals. Though this compound is
a poison effective in the digestive
tract, there is possibility of its
being absorbed through cuts or
abrasions in the skin" He sug-
gests that gloves be worn when the
treatment is being made and es-
pecially when the arsenate of lead
is being mixed.

FAILURE to treat lawns for grubs
may result in permitting as many

abundance Of insects feeding on the

appear. "The arsenate Of lead
