Business Upturn
To Boost Building

MINNEAPOLIS G.N.S0.-Only
the green light" of improving
general business activity and en-
ployment is needed to launch a
substantial volume of residential
building through the nation, real
ty experts here agreed today.
Increase in the inquiries of
prospective home owners points in
this direction, abstract companies
and loan firms are convinced.
They say a current boom in
building interest is due in part to
amendment of the Federal houS-

MERCHANTS HIT
1-WAY TRAFFIC.
RULE ON nth ST.
Ask Change in 5-BIock
Area in Southeast

Claiming the existing one-way
traffic arrangement along a five
block stretch of Eleventh Street
Southeast, virtually has ruined
their business, a group of mer-
chants today started a campaign
to have twao-way traffic restored.
M. David Robertson, 232 Elev-
enth st. S. E., made an appoint
ment with Assistant Traffic Di-
rector M. o. Eldridge for tomor-
row when efforts will be made to
have traffic officials and the
Eleventh Street merchants get to-
gether to iron out difficulties.
TELLS OF PLIGHT
Two years ago, in an effort to
relieve traffic congestion and pro
mote safety, Eleventh Street from
B Street to South Sarolina Avenue
was designated one-way south. De-
failing the plight of the Eleventh
Street merchants, Robertson said
today:
. Since this one-way arrange
ment has been in effect, we
business men have lost from
80 to rs per cent of our trade.
Eleventh Street always has
been considered one of the lead
ing boulevards Of the section.
The one-way traffic rule bans
traffic from coming directly in
from Southern Maryland and
over the Anacostia Bridge. It
also directs the traffic bound
for Maryland.
HARD TO GET OUT
IT am connected with the
automobile accessory, electrical
and gasoline business. Many of
our customers have told us they
stopped dealing with us because
Of the traffic arrangement.
Even though they are able to
get to the shop, they en-
counter difficulty getting out of
the section. Other merchants in
the neighborhood have suffered
similarly. The Southeast Bust
mes Mems Association is behind
us"

Nerve Fiber Usual
Sect Of Poroly
Doctor Regards that as Fortunate as Disease
There Cured Easier than in Brain

, back of your neck; from it the slen-
der nerve fiber runs out along the
arm to the thumb. If this fiber is
cut or otherwise interrupted, the
cell will send out a new fiber which,
growing along the path of the old
one, will eventually make the path
intact again. Regeneration occurs
in lower animals to an astonishing
degree. The lobster will part COM
pany with a limb, and slowly grow
an entire new one. In man this fac
ulty of regeneration is represented
only in the nerve fiber.
The causes of nerve fiber degen-
Grafton are either poisons or lack Of
proper food. Perhaps most of them
are due to lack of proper food. We
used to think that alcohol would
cause neuritis; now we know that
so-called alcoholic neuritis can be
cured by giving the patient Vitamin
B, which is normal ingredient Of a
balanced diet. The alcoholic gets his
neuritis from starvation; all chronic
alcoholics tend to depend on the al
cohol for their caloric bodily needs
and neglect eating, or at least me-
glect eating balanced diet.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
M. S.: "What effect would two
cups of carrot juice a day for q
month have? was told by a layman
it was a builder"
Answer-Carrots contain caro-
tene, which is the precursor of vita
min A, the vitamin which protects
against infection. Excessive use of
carrots results in yeliowish dis
celebration of the n-caratinemia.
Otherwise, there is no possibility Of
harm.
Reader: "What causes black OBJ
jects to float in front Of the eyes?"
Answer-Scotomata of this kind
are probably due to opacities in one
or the other of the watery humors
of the eye. They do no harm and,
cannot be helped.

II you pick up your telephone re-
celver and dial it properly and fail

A paralysis may have its seat in the
brain or in the cord, but most forms
are due to disease of the nerve fib-

disease of the nerves can be cured
more readily than disease of the
brain or spinal cord.

This is due to the ability of the
nerve fiber to regenerate. said in
an earlier article this week that a
nerve cell once destroyed can never

shown entering the harbor. Fame,
represented by an angelic figure
blowing trumpet, is browning Gin

Origin of Society's Name.
DR.. Blackwell pointed out that the
society adopted the name of Gin
cinnatus because the Roman general
typified the life and character of
Revolutionary officers who were for
the most part planters who left
their homes and fields, like Cincin-
natus, to go to war.
The retired naval officer works

One of his special hobbies is build
ing boats. In his garage is a large
canoe he completed recently and in
which he plans to make trips next
summer on the Shenandoah River
near RivertOn. where he practiced
medicine before being commissioned
in the Navy.
When he was in the Samoan Is
lands several years ago as medical
officer on the U. S. S. Abarenda. he
built a fat-bottom boat which was
used to row to shore.
At present DR.. Blackwell is senior
warden Of st. Mary's Episcopal

to the church. They include a ma

A retired naval medical officer
who Whitfield canes out of dogWood
and tiny baskets from peach seeds
during his younger days has now
turned his deft hands and penknife
to carving mahogany plaque bear
ing the insignia of the Society Of the

Now in his 70s and living in
Arlington, Va, DR.. E. M Blackwell,
U. S. N, retired, pursues his hobby
of wood carving at his home, AIT

Of the Cincinnati, oldest American
military and patriotic organization.
The plaque will fulfill his ambition
to contribute something Of lasting
quality to the society, to which DR..
Blackwell also plans to give his
collection of Revolutionary War
relics.
The relics, to be presented along
with the carving, include a hand
some epaulet of silver braid worn
by DR.. Blackwell's great-grandfather

Recalling his early days as a wood
carver by avocation, Dr.. Blackwell
said down in FauquIer County
where I was born, we had to walk
six miles a day to and from school,
but I didn't object. because I was
so occupied by my whiting. l used
to pull up young dogWood trees all
along the way and make canes of
them, carving the handles at recess
and lunch time
Later when DR.. Blackwell was a
student at Bethel Military Academy
he earned his spending money and
part of his tuition by selling hand
carved canes at Is cents each to
fellow classmates.
During the peach season." he
said, Il was kept busy carving little
baskets from peach seeds, particu-
larry for the young ladies'" To this

Hearing in Arlington
Is Set Tomorrow
On Row Houses
Civic Group Planning
FinuI Assault on
DEVELOPMENT

The controversy over row houses
tn Arlington County, Va, is due to
end officially tomorrow night at
public hearing in the courthouse.
The issue, which has lain dormant
for the last few weeks, will reach its
climax at hearings on two proposed
zoning ordinance amendments-one
of which would limit row houses to
three units, and the other, the So
called Chew amendment" prohibit
ing this type of structure entirely.
Last-minute plans for a final as
sault on what it calls the row house
cancer" in Arlington were drafted
yesterday by special committee of
the Arlington County Civic Fedora
ton, one of several organized citi-
zens' groups that has strenuously
opposed row houses. The federation
will be represented by at least three
members of this committee - 1.
Chance Buchanan, chairman; j..
Byron Brooks, Executive Committee
chairman, and Secretary Julian D..
Simpson.
Tomorrow's hearings was set by
the County Board several weeks ago.
Opposed to Development.
The Sivic Federation has recorded
itself repeatedly as ''unalterably OPP
posed" to roW-house development.
fearing its spread to communities of
one-family structures, with a result
tant decrease in property values.
The federation favors the re-estab-
lishment of the original 1880 coming
law, which made no reference what
soever to the row type of dwelling
County Board and zoning officials
have agreed with the aims sought by
the federation, but fail to agree as
to the method of accomplishment.
County officials point to Circuit
Court decisions which permitted
row-house construction under the
1880 ordinance because this was
recognized form of habitation not
referred to in any manner by the
law.
Chew Plan Backed.
OF the two amendments to be dis
cuSSed tomorrow, the one sponsored
by Board Member F. Freeland Chew
apparently has gained widest sup
port. The regulatory amendment
was drafted by representatives of the
County Board, Zoning Board, Plan
ming Commission and various de-
partment engineers. 1t was sub
mltted as substitute for the exist
ing row-house zone law after public
opinion was aroused against the law.
Action on the issue by the County
Board is not expected until its regu-
lar meeting Tuesday morning.
Some county observers believe the
Chew amendment will be passed by
the board by vote of to 2. Board
members themselves have given no
hint as to which will be favored.
All, however, have expressed dissat-
1sfaction with the present law.
