Of 1859.
Value of Regulation Cited.
Declaring that strict enforcement
of the pedestrian control law plays
a major part in holding down traffic
deaths, Inspector William E. Holmes
of the Police Department traffic
division yesterday expressed his
qualification" at last months de-
crease in traffic deaths as COM
pared to the same period year ago.
There is no doubt in my mind, -
the inspector said. that increased
safety in the District depends large
" on observance of the pedestrian
control regulation. After all, the
police enforce this regulation so that
pedestrians will be able to protect
themselves better. I think that last
months jump in pedestrian arrests
had a great deal to do in bringing
about the small number of traffic
deaths"
Analysis of last months traffic
arrests showed that violations OF
six parking regulations were respon-
sible for almost half of the total
cases reported.
Overtime parking arrests led the
list with 1903 violations, with the
892 motorists who disobeyed official
signs close behind to replace drivers
parking from to 6 pm, who
dropped to third with 829 arrests.
The positions Of these latter two
classes of traffic offenses were re-
versed during the previous month,
with 809 and 1913 arrests, respec-
lively.
Building Line Violations.
The fourth major group of trat-
fic offenders were those motorists
who parked less than 20 feet from
the building line and less than so
feet from the intersection. They
comprised SIS arrests, or 80 less
than the number arrested in Au-
gust.
Parking from to 80 IN. proved
to be a mistake for 399 drivers,
while 358 motorists were ticketed

President District of CT

The Department of Health Of the
District of Columbia delivered to
every supervising principal in WASH
ington last Monday and Tuesday
enough copies of the newly designed
health chart to supply one to each
classroom in all public schools.
The chart, prepared in the offices
Of the Department Of Health, and
with the approval of the Board Of
Education. was printed at the ex-
pense Of the District of Columbia
Congress of Parents and Teachers.
Three thousand cardboard and $4,000
paper copies were printed. The latter
will be given each elementary school
child for the information and use
Of parents.
Fourteen Diseases Listed.
Listed on the chart are IA COM
municable diseases, namely: Colds
grippe, influenza), chickenpox,
diphtheria, meningitis, impetigo.
mumps, measles, pediculosis, ring
worm, German measles, Scabies,
scarlet fever, tonsilitis and whooping
cough. Early symptoms are given,
incubation period, period Of exclu-
sion from school, and re-admission
requirements. In the last column
Of the chart are listed methods by
which these diseases are spread and
some preventive suggestions.
I cannot stress too strongly the
Importance of this chart; not. only
from the parents angle but as a
safeguard for the child. A we'll child
is a happy child and an amenable
one. Therefore. the child that is
kept free from unnecessary ailments
is much easier to teach and easier
to manage. Also, there is always a
certain amount of pain and dis
comfort accompanying any kind OF
illness, even that Of the common
cold, so that by preventing such
diseases one is adding to the hap
piness of the individual.
Proud Of Charts.

Of Parents and Teachers feels
justidable pride IN presenting these

charts to the schools and the par
ents of Washington, for they are
the concrete evidence of II years of
untiring effort on the part of Mrs.
Lucian Jordan, child hygiene chair
man. Mrs. Jordan has crusaded
for an enforceable communicable
disease code for the District of Co.
lumbia during all this time, and
when it was adopted by the Com
missioners on August -, 1910, she,
as well as the rest of our member
ship, felt that a definite step in
health happiness and insurance for
schoolchildren of Washington had
been made.
Parents are urged to familiarize
themselves with this code; to accept
their responsibility toward its effec-
tive use, and to cooperate in every
way possible with the school health
officers in seeing that it is OBJ
served.
Should mistakes in distribution
occur (as they are bound to do in
any project) we urge that the Office
of the District of Columbia Con-
gress Of Parents and Teachers be
telephoned.
New members welcomed by the
Board Of Managers at its meeting
on Tuesday. included Mrs. L. H.
Baylies, senior high school repre-
sentative; Mrs. r. B. Mayberry,

sisting of Mrs. Evelyn Bright Buck
