provide much less cross traffic near
the exits of Sixteenth street
underpass.
Strong Demand for Underpass.
The big question. however" said
Capt Whitehurst, lis whether the
city wants the underpass. There has
been strong demand for it from
citizens generally, and the plan has
been approved by the Park and
Planning Commission and by con-
gressional committees.
Traffic on Sixteenth street is
heavier than on Massachusetts, ave-
nue., he explained, and if the under
pass were placed on Massachusetts,
avenue, it would leave on the surface
curious oval instead of a circle,
because of the acute angle between
Massachusetts, avenue and Rhode
Island avenue.
Regarding the park situation at
Scott Circle, District officials ex-
planned that there would be little
difference in the effect on parks,
whether the underpass followed. the
line of Sixteenth street or Massa-
chusetts avenue The issue over
parks was only one of several side
issues raised in the study, officials
said.
Fear for Property Values.
Objections to the underpass out
lined in the Sixteenth Street Com
mittee in calling the protest meeting
pointed out that more than 100 beau
tiful trees would be cut down and
"this famous circle, known all over
the United States, will be despoiled."
Property values adjacent would
be decreased from Is to so per cent,
according to estimates by "compe-
tent experts" the letter says.
And most important" it was
added, cit is felt by competent en-
gineers that this plan will not re-
heve the traffic congestion sufi-
GENTLY to warrant the dissertation
of this attractive and historic circle"
1.-THE expenditure of nearly $780,
900 at this crucial time in the his
tory of our country is not necessary,
for this amount could be used for
more important and urgent needs
at the present time"
Preliminary work already is I'M
der way at the circle by test borings
to determine the nature of the sub
soil.

Shop Near D.C.PoIice
Headquarters Robbed
18th Time in ; Years

When Mrs. Alice Rhind be-
came proprietor of the Court
House Coffee Shop at 458 In
diana avenue NV, she figured
that burglars would be the
least finer worries. For police
headquarters is two doors
away, at 462 Indiana avenue,
and policemen were to be
among her steady customers.
But rude awakening has
come. Not once but repeatedly.
Mrs. Rhind reported yesterday
that some one had smashed
the rear door of the establish
ment, entered and stolen about
$40 worth of cigarettes. 1t was,
she said, the thirteenth time the
place had been forcibly entered
within the last three years.

NEW DRUG REMEDY FOR
PNEUMONIA EFFECTIVE

Cleveland.-A new remedy for
pneumonia, which in its first
trials on about 1900 human be-
ings in the past few months has
proved better than anything pre-
viously known, was described to
the American College of Physi-
clans here last week.
It's greatest benefit is in caus-
ing much less nausea than other
remedies, but it also has shown a
definitely lower death rate.
The drug is sulfathiazole, a ere
lative' of the recently discovered
wonder medicine" sulfanilamide,
end is the second such "relative'
to prove good for pneumonia. The
first was sulfapyridine, made by
adding to sulfanilamide a form of
nicotine acid. The sulfathiazole is
made by adding, instead of nico-
tinic acid, yellow oil called thia-
zol which is broken-down form
of vitamin Bone.

LILY PONS VISITED
VALDESE LAST WEEK

Valdese.-Lily Pons, celebrated
Metropolitan opera star, chatted
with scores of Pons and mem
bers of other Waldensian families
when she visited Valdese last
week.
A crowd of over 1000 greeted
the French-born singer when she
made an afternoon visit between
southern concert appearances to
the Burke county town settled in
1894 by Waldenses.
She chatted enthusiastically in
French with a group of women,
dressed in native Waldensian cos
tune for the occasion, and was
taken on tour of the Pilot Hos
iery mills huge plant and the
Waldensian bakery, two of Val
dese's leading industries.
Its just like dropping out of
the sky into little village in my
native country" the singer ex-
claimed as to the oldworld at
mosphere which still prevails in
this flourishing industrial COM
munity.

GERMANS ARE ALLOWED
FOOD FOR CELEBRATIONS

Berlin.-The German people,
after five months of strict food
rationing, now have the prospect
of at least being able to celebrate
marriages and anniversaries with
the customary dinner.
Food-rationing offices have
been officially instructed by the
minister for food and agriculture
that special rations may be gran
ted upon application for these IA
mily celebrations. The ministerial
order, however, limited the num-
Der of participants receiving
such favored treatment to IL.
Food rationing and the compll-
Gated card system is inaugurated
by the government even before
the war started.

CANADA GOV-GENERAL
is UNCLE OF THE KING

London.-The Earl of Athlone,
brother of Queen Mother Mary
and former governor-general of
the Union of South Africa, last
week was appointed governor
general of Canada to succeed the
late Lord Tweedsmuir.
The tall, soldierly early, who
will be Sc on April a.. is expec-
ted to leave for Canada in two
or three weeks, accompanied by
his countess, Princess Alice,
granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
A Buckingham palace an
nouncement said that King
George vi was "graciously
pleased" to approve the appoint
ment of his uncle, a football en-
thusiast and big game hunter and
veteran of military service in In
dia and in the Boer and World
Wars.
The earl actually was appoin-
ted to the Ottawa post once be-
fore, in 1914 just before the war
broke out, when war came, how
ever, the appointment was can
celed to enable him to serve in
the army.

SCANDINAVIAN PEACE
is BEING THREATENED

Oslo. Addressing Parliament
admidst new apprehension over
the issue of Scandinavian neutra-
lily, Foreign Minister Halvdan
Koht said that Norway twill at
once be at war" if free shipping
in Norwegian waters should be
interfered with to the advantage
of one side in the European war.
This was interpreted as in no
way a threat of War-least OF all
against Britain-but as indicative
of Norway's fears that Interior
ence with German shipping IN
Norwegian waters would bring
retaliation from Germany which
would drag Norway into the con-
flict.
