Stor for Analysis
OF 1899 Fatalities

A study of trafic conditions in the
District Of Columbia, with particular
emphasis on conditions at the inter-
sections of Columbia road and Cali
fornia street, Florida avenue and r
street, and Twenty first and r
streets, all in the Northwest section,
was asked at q nesting last night
by the KAlorama Citizens Associa-
ton, in letters to the Traffic Bureau
and the District Commissioners.
The study at the intersection Of
Columbia road and California street
NV. was asked because many school
children attending the John Quincy
Adams board and leave street cars
there. One fatality and several in
juries were reported in that location
by members. Two fatalities and
many injuries were reported at the
intersection Of Florida avenue and
r street, where the chief complaint
was disobedience of stop signs.
Traffic lights and more rigid en-
forcement of stop sign regulations
were suggested methods OF correc-
ton. More prominent marking and
possibly illumination Of safety zones,
especially in snowy or rainy weather,
also were favored.
Star Analysis Commended.
The recently published Star trafic
fatality analysis was studied by
members and traffic fatalities in
1899 were discussed, it being noted
that the last fatality reported oc-
CURED at Columbia road and Cali
fornia street NV. in the evening Of
December Is. Monte ]. Sanger moved
that The Star be commended for its
efforts in investigating accidents and
trafnc fatalities and for suggesting
corrective measures. The motion
was approved unanimously.
Mr.. Sanger also made a motion
recommending that any plan for
reorganization Of the District gov
ernment contain provisions for suf-
frage. The association voted unani-
nous approval. The placement of
various departments under proposed
heads in the kitchen cabinet plan
was opposed by the association. The
plan was opposed also for not pro-
viding suffrage.
Incorporation Favored.
The association favored the incor-
poration of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations as suggested by
the federation and instructed dele
gates to vote favorably.
Training and relief of unemploy-
ables under the Work Projects Ad-
ministration was discussed in con-
nection with local cases.
The Executive Committee will
arrange to invite speaker to appear
at the next meeting to explain the
coming symphony concerts.

Provision for Garages
Endorsed by Association

Progress Of the pedestrian control
regulations In the District OF Co.
lumbia was discussed by Col. Law
renee G. Crawford, chairman Of the
Trafic Committee. Board Of Trade,
at the meeting Of the Forest Hills
Citizens Association last night
Pedestrian control laws cannot
be strictly enforced" stated Col.
Crawford, "the main idea IS to edu-
cate the public He mentioned The
Evening Stars recent survey on
trafnc fatalities in the District, which
shows that three-fourths of the
traffic deaths In the last year were
pedestrians and a majority Of these
were over so years Of age.
This striking down Of older people
is caused by their being less alert,
but. more important, they are too
stubborn to get out Of the way" he
said.
The association approved q mo-
ton by Col. Crawford favoring the
principle Of having future construc-
ton of residences, apartments and
public gathering places, such as au-
djtoriums, provide adequate parking
facilities.
Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, president
of the association, pointed out that
for 10 years the District has been
acquiring land to start an arboretum
and said that as yet no planning
has gotten under way. She advo-
Gated a sum being placed in next
years budget. Mrs. Wright, criti-
Ching slack snow removal by pri-
vate citizens, quoted a law made in
1929 which states that If an owner
has not removed the snow or made
it safe in front of his property within
eight hours after the snow stops
falling the District can remove the
snow, charge the expense to the
owner and also fine him.
The association voted to approve
of the Federation Of Citizens As
sociations becoming an incorporated
body. 1t also voted to protest to the
federation against the encroach-
ment Of certain other civic bodies
into the boundaries of Forest Hills.

Speed in Principle

Commentator for the publishing

zens' Association at a meeting yes
terday afternoon In the Mayflower

associations TrafIic Committee, sub
mitted the following resolution
which was unanimously indorsed:
Moved, That The Star be thanked

of this analysis as basis for future
safety proposals"
Support Slower Night Speed.
Another resolution, submitted by
Mr.. Mulliken, approving the sug-
gestion Of Inspector William Holmes

The secretary informed the group
that the application for a class B

Care Needed and Avoidance of Worry

GUEST conductor of this col

Of Kansas City:
. Heart disease Of middle age is
due, not to infection, but to arte-
rial change.
There is a growing impression
in the medical profession that
there is far too much anxiety de-
Yelopin@ over heart disease.
i The heart receives blood supply
Through the coronary arteries.
These vessels course through the
muscles of the heart, breaking up
into smaller and smaller branches,
fb,aning a network of blood chan
nelS that are so numerous that it
is possible to increase the blood
flow to the heart many hundred
times. The ability of the heart to
respond to an increase in work is

EXTRA TRICKS THRILL

TRICKS WHICH you never en-

YOU through precise play Of the
cards. can produce greater thrill
than those thrown at YOU by er-
ring oppoaeslcS. Ordinarily the
making Of 4 siam contract by
Skllltul plar : considered one of
the high spots u the game. But
making an u:,a.t siam. one which
never Should N2vc been bid and
which seems rir,UaIiy impossible
after you look at the dummy. may
furnish a smaller number OF points
while earning a kind OF lasting
satisfaction which is comparable

directly dependent upon the ease
with which blood can flow through
the coronary circulation.
In youth these vessels are very
elastic and by means of special
nerves known as vasomotor
nerves, alterations are made in
the blood flow to the heart hun
dreds of times a day without the
individual being aware of it.
Poor Circulation
If there is a change in this
mechanism, either in the elasticity
of the blood vessels or, as in some
patients, over-stimulation of the
vasomotor nerves, pain through
the chest, upper abdomen or in
the arms may result. The cause
of this pain is due primarily
to an inadequate flow of blood
through the coronary circulation.
1t is an accepted fact that there
is a normal change that takes
place during advancing years.
This consists in thici-2ning of the
arterial wall, narrow of the
lumen, and a loss Of ,.@sticity,
finally Qualification.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-08-14

If, during the aging process,
enough new vessels develop which
will aid in compromising for blood
channels that close off slowly, the
individual may go on and on for
years without any form of heart
trouble.
Observations made both in lab
oratory studies on animals and
among various populations of the
world, lead one to the conclusion
that high blood pressure of the
common type results partially
from habits of over-stimulation
OF the emotional centers. That is:
when one becomes frightened or
,angered, the stimulation of these
nerves results and there is a rise
IN blood pressure. AS this process
is repeated, a habit is soon ac-
CURED that leads to a greater ease
with which these centers may be
stimulated.
Avoid Worry
should like to emphasize to
the young as well as to the old, to
cultivate this philosophy of life,
live and let live" Be cautious
OF developing habits of worry and
anxiety, especially if there is
family history of early vascular
disease. After the age of thirty,
be careful to keep your weight
near normal limits and consult
your physician about properly
balanced diet. He will also advise
about smoking.
One may conclude from a study
of mortality statistics covering a
period of the last twenty years
that the increase in artery disease
IS no greater than is to be expect
ed, due to the increase in the span
of life and to the better facilities
Tor correct diagnosis.
