SAFETY RULES
 SET BY POLICE
Traffic Training Should Start Early in Life Says
 Superintendent

The coming generation of Water burians, if the police department has its way, will be a generation well trained in the factors that go to make up highway safety, a genera ton which realizes that it's own best interests will be protected oy fol- lowing the precautions advised by authorities.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach believes that training in traf- fic safety should begin at an early year. Parents, he believes, should realize their. grave responsibility in this regard, and should begin to educate their children at an early age to their responsibilities as pedestrians.
 This view that the pedestrians of the future can be properly taught to follow all the common sense rules of safety is shared oy Capt. William Duggan, Lieut.. Joseph Mo-. Weeney, head of the police motor Evoy and Sergt. Charles Mo- patrol and accident squad.
 Even at an early age, police of ficials advise children should be taught to look carefully in both di- rections before crossing any street; to follow the signal lights; to obey the instructions of police officers; not to play on the street; to cross streets only at crosswalks and to take advantage of the safety features set up by the city.
 The department of education CO., operates with the police by giving instructions on traffic safety in even the lowest grades. In addition, of- f1cers and members of the accident prevention bureau of the police de- partment speak frequently in school In Waterbury and in near by towns.
 Supt. Roach points out the sig nificant fact that six of the nine au- tomobile fatality victims in Water bury last year. were pedestrians. The year before, in 16 deaths caused by autos. a large majority were pedes- trianS.
 The safe pedestrian, if the police plan succeeds, will also be the safe driver, when he sits behind the wheel of motor car. .

Chicago, Ill-Dental decay, the most common of school child ail-
 ments, is a disease of luxury" and
 not a deficiency disease.
 This statement, which may tend
 to revolutionize dental thought in
 connection with tooth destroying
 factors, is made by Dr. Russell w. Bunting of Ann Arbor, Mich, in an
 article in the March issue of the
 Journal of the American Dental
 Association, recently off the press. To substantiate his conclusion, Dr.
 Bunting cites findings of the Michi-
 gan Dental Carries Research Group
 which show that tooth decay has
 been completely arrested in the
 mouths of children who were fed
 controlled amounts of sugars and
 Starches. ,.ss tl..-..- | Orphanages Watched ,,{ys Large groups of children in or phanages were observed over per
 iod of several years, during which. time they were fed extremely low
 sugar diets which were otherwise
 not fortified" Dr. Bunting said. ,"Al- l though the majority of these chil- dren had more or less carries, during
 their residence in the orphanage
 many of them developed no new
 cavities and previously thrilled cav
 ities grew no larger.
 Certainly the arrest of carries in
 these children could not, be attrib-
 uted to the excellence of their diet.
 The low sugar intake was the only
 discernible factor which could be re- lated to the control of the disease" Dr.. Bunting takes issue with cur
 rent dental and medical thought that a diet, well-Stocked in tooth-
 building foods and vitamins, will 1 fortify the teeth of children against
 decay. He states that it is we'll
 known fact that the present gen. eration of children, in preferred
 families at least, have been reared
 on more adequate diets than previ-
 ous generations and yet under
 development of the jaws and con- sequent malocculsion have not been noticeably decreased and carries oc-
 cur as frequently today as formerly. The writer does not discount the value of weI-balanced diets for the
 general health of children, rather he
 urges them, but he denies that de-
 cay may be prevented by building strong, highly resistant teeth. "No tooth was ever so hard that it could not decay" Dr. Bunting
 continues. No tooth ever decayed
 solely because it was soft and poorly formed. It is highly improbable therefore that the prevention of dental carries and the protection of
 child from this disease can be at tained by the building of better teeth or feeding highly fortified
 diets, desirable though they may be from other standpoints."
 A Bacterial Process
 Dental disease which affects from 90 to 98 per cent of American school children, is unquestionably a bac- terial process, he states. Tn the great
 majority of cases, the mouth is in- \ tested with types of organisms cap able of producing acids of sufficient
 strength to decalmify the tooth and
 cause typical lesions of carries. Bacteria most frequently asso-

The food around which a baby's diet is built is milk which supplies the needed calories, protein for muscle building, calcium and phos- phorous for bones and teeth, some iron and iodine, vitamin A and B. With milk as a base an adequate diet can easily be built by adding the following foods: Orange juice or tomato juice, which supplies

ciated with decay" it is explained, fare Lacto Acidophilus. It is not fully proved nor generally agreed that this organism is the sole or specific cause of dental carries, but 1t is wlel-known today that the activity of its growth in the mouth is directly proportional to the de- gree of the activity of the disease
 It is a finding of the Michigan. Dental Carries group, he points out, that the limited use of sugars and starches will reduce the salivary acidophilus to very low counts or zero, and in these cases dental de- cay is completely arrested.

Car Track System,
AT Dupont Circle
Draws Protest
West End Citizens
Association Coils for
Remedy to Menace

Protest against operation Of north
and southbound street cars on the
west curve of Dupont Circle was
registered last night by the West
End Citizens Association, which
voted to demand remedy for traffic
congestion and menace to pedes-
trians created by the present setup.
The meeting was held in No. 3 police
precinct station.
Offered by Charles H. Robb, the
resolution termed the track layout
"a direct contradiction of logical
planning" and blamed the arrange
ment on "a few property owners
residing on the east section of the
circle. William r. Brown suggested
that the Public Utilities Commits
sion divide the tracks as in similar
instances throughout the city or
construct an underpass through the
circle.
Seen as Menace.
Although this condition exists
outside the jurisdiction of the West
End Association Mr.. Brown de-
clafed, 1T is sufficiently serious, be-
ing one of the traffic centers Of
Washington. to warrant our action
and the action of all civic groups In
the Northwest section"
The group also voted to ask the
Utilities Commission to reinstate the
former token sale system Of three
for Is cents.
Blaming intensive parking in the
West End area west of Twenty
second street NV on too stringent
parking restrictions east of the thor
oughfare. the association voted to
ask that the parking limit in the
latter section be changed from one
to two hours. Further installation
OF parking meters on Pennsylvania
avenue from Seventeenth TO Twen-
ty-f1rst streets NV. was asked, but
definite action deferred until a fu-
ture meeting.

Following the annual report of the
president, Walter F. Wasson. elec-
tions for the coming season were
held, Mr.. Wasson being reelected
for the second consecutive year.
Others elected were John F. Kelly,

Dr.. Walsh Advises
j. ). 10 Push Trade
With Latin America
Hoiis Inquiries in
Tolk at Convention
In New York

The United States must mobilize
every resource to promote trade with
Latin America If European and other
belligerent ports are to be closed to
American flag ships, DR.. Edmund
A. Walsh, S. j., vice president of
Georgetown University, told the
National Foreign Trade Convention
yesterday at its opening session in
New York.
Speaking on Neutrality and
American Foreign Trade" the
Georgetown educator declared a
"cash-and-carry" policy, the exclu-
sion Of American shipping from
danger zones and "the Draconian
limitation" on sea-borne commerce
and travel in general must undoubt-
edly affect adversely our foreign
trade.
THE closing of so many markets
will call for courageous sreadjust-
ments and prompt ingenuity to seek
substitute openings elsewhere" he
said. mot only do the North At
lantic routes fall within the category
Of danger zones from which Amer
ican commerce may be excluded, but
under Section 2 '(A) of the proposed
Neutrality Act the trade routes to
such remote areas as New Zealand,
Australia and South Africa, to Med
iterranean ports, to India and the
whole Far East may be closed to
American flag ships.
Problem Called Grave.
"1t has been estimated that Amer
ican exports to belligerent areas, ex-
cluding Europe but including Can
ada, have reached total of $8l5,-
104,2S3 per annum. If no solution of
this grave problem be found, what
is to happen to that important
balance wheel in our national econ
omy supplied by foreign trade?
Even If the productive capacity OF
domestic industry should be main
tanned and find an outlet in foreign
bottoms operating at their own risk
within a cash-and-carry program,
what will happen to our merchant
marine just at the moment of its
most promising rebirth under the
present energetic program OF the
Maritime Commission? Shall we
be faced with a new Illustration and
behold those ships for which we
have pleaded for 20 yeas tied up by
hundreds in home ports or seeking
in desperation to operate under for
eign registry?"
DR.. Walsh said the trade inquiries
now being received from Latin
American countries cut off from pur-
chases customarily made In Europe
offer the lone bright spot on an
overcast horizon"
Vigorous Effort Urged.
Trade with these areas has never
been fully developed and still re-
mains the most promising recon-
perse for losses in other quarters OF
the globe" he said. I'm the spirit
of the recent conference of Panama,
q concerted and vigorous effort
should be made to respond to those
inquiries and to the enlarged oppor-
tunfties they embody. Credit facili-
ties must be studied and two-way
flow of commodities encouraged III
order to facilitate payment for i'm
ports.
DR.. Thomas H. Healy, dean Of the
Foreign Service School at George
town University, and II of its stu
dents also are attending the foreign
trade sessions In New York.

KeI Larson Copes Honors for Day with Tom
 Ryan, Second

The Wanderer left Aux Bay float at am. sharp Sunday morning, ar irving at Shelter Island fishing grounds at g o'clock and the final salmon fishing derby was officially opened by the Haida. when blast from her siren started 50 fishermen at their sport.
 Kel Larson copped the honors for the day with a 12-pound salmon. while Tom Ryan came in second with an 11-pound. l5-ounce king salmon. Larson, however, had won the previous derby, so the closeness of his competitor, Ryan, did not feaze him and he walked about with his chest sticking out like pouter pigeon.
 Valeria Reiver came in third on the honor list with an 11-pound, 12-ounce salmon and Pete Melseth hooked a l0-pound, 4-ounce king.
 Next was Vic Crondahl with a g. pound salmon, and Tom Harrett hooked an 11-pounder, which did not count in the prize list as Harrett does not belong to the Juneau Sports Fishing Club.
 There was little time spent or fun in this derby, each fisherman working like blazes for what ht caught, with eleven salmon being hooked from the Wanderer. Aboard the Jazz one salmon was caught, bu this was not entered in the derby.
 At 5 o'clock pm, the Haida's sirer closed the final salmon fishing derb, of the season.
 The awards were as follows:
 First prize, fishing rod; secont prize, hunting shirt; third prize reel fourth prize, fishing rod; fiftl prize, sweater; sixth prize. reel.

 5.2 SCORE
Lo dgem en lose Heart Breaker as Fielding
 Blows Up

Don Bell pitched nice ball game for the Elks last night, allowed but three hits, and evidenced better than usual control. but his teammates failed to score on offered oppor- tunities, and errored heavily to give Douglas a to victory that carried with it the second half season crown and the right to play the Moose next Sunday for the 1889 honors of the Gastineau Channel Baseball League.
 Erskine, chucking for Douglas, also suffered from poor fielding be- hind him, but was taken out of his holes more successfully than Bell.
 Elks drew first blood in the last of the second when Addleman walk ed, went to second on Loves sac rifice bunt, and came home when Hautala's grounder to Roller at second bounced off the latter's shoe strings.
 EikS DlSdStrOuS SIN
 Until the last of the sixth, then. Bell held Douglas scoreless and the Elks were unable to score again either, although for two innings run ming they had the bases loaded with but one out.
 When that disastrous sixth inning came around, Roller flied out to centerfield Manning dumped an in- field hit to Lowe at third, playing too deep for a putout and in the hurry, throwing wild to first, put ting Manning on second.
 Erskine flied out to right field and Manning held second. Then it happened. Turner scorched one through the pitchers station and Peterson failed to field it. Manning came home and Turner went to sec ond, then stole third.
 Big Andy Andrews grounded be- tween first and second, but Mac Spadden failed to recover and Tur- ner scored. Jensen grounded tc shortpatch again, and Peterson baubled another ball. With Jenser at first and Andrews at second Lonnie Grant drove line drive oi a single into left right field, SCOT ing Andrews and putting Jenser on third, from where he came ir on a wild pitch for the fourth tally of the inning.

 Douglas rubbed it in for the las inning. Roller got aboard with al error chalked up for Addleman whose throw from behind the plat hit Roller in the leg. Erskin brought Roller home with a sting ing triple into the parked cars il left field.
