Highway Changes Proposed.
Although the commission holds
that this redistribution will do away
with traffic congestion by itself, it
nevertheless has Siagrammed Ger
tain highway changes as part of the
whole plan. Following the key
numerals 6S and SO, it will be seen
that two of the most important
involve making Constitution and
Independence avenues four-lane,
divided roadWayS along the part of
their lengths associated with the
East Capitol street development.
And further, that these two new

betterments already programmed

ment, will be sufficient to insure a

Need Is Appalling.

In recent weeks there has been
a slight improvement in the con-
dition of some of the internment
camps in France, but the need is
utterly appalling.
About $4,000 refugees are con-
fined in them-men, women and
little children, newborn babes and
octogenarians, sick and crippled,
weak and strong.
1.-The Unitarian Service Commit
tee is especially charged with the
responsibility of helping to i'm
prove medical and sanitary con-
ditions in the camps, where men
are still in many cases sleeping on
the ground, where vermin abound,
where the most elementary sanitary
necessities are often lacking. where
wind, rain and sand sweep through
crude barracks, where clothing is
in tatters and bits of auto tires
are sometimes used for shoes, where
food is wholly inadequate and soap
and toilet paper rare.
Terrible C0nQItl0nS.
81 have visited personally most
of these camps and 1 have seen
pregnant women and contagious
disease victims hospitalized in the
same room. have seen thousands
of little children suffering from
serious malnutrition and left in
complete idleness with no educa-
tional or recreational facilities,
some of them for more than two
years already.
"Disinfectants, medicines, surgi-
cal instruments, laboratory equip
ment are almost entirely lacking.
"Tubercular children spit blood,
often wounds remain unbandaged.
The danger of epidemics is i'm
minent.

government, which has shouldered
an intolerable burden in the care

example of this is the Capitol area,
where the number of workers is to
be increased only from 1926 to 1900.
Conversely, the greatest change

One OF Factual C. Traffic Fatalities

The place: Seventh and P streets
NV.
The accident: A 3l-year- old mo-
torist was fatally injured when his
car, going north on Seventh street,
collided with a westbound automo-
bile on P street. Although the in
tersection is controlled by traffic
lights, witnesses disagreed as to
the condition of the lights at the
time of the accident. Due to the
force of the impact, the Seventh
street automobile turned a somer-
sault, hurting the driver and a
companion to the street. Both were
taken to Emergency Hospital. The
driver died the next day. His COM
panion was released after treat
ment.
The time: About 10:45 pm, July 5.
Weather conditions: Clear.
The street: Straight and level.
The vehicles: A 1888 roadster,
which the victim was driving, and
a 1910 sedan, being driven on P
street. Both automobiles were too
badly damaged to have their brakes
tested. Skid marks on the sedan
extended for IL feet to the point
of impact. There were no skid
marks by the other car.
The drivers: A 31-year-old mo-
torist with two years driving ex-
perience, driving the roadster on
Seventh street, and a 33-year-old
member of the Metropolitan Police
Department with II years driving

Mine Laying Continues
In New York Harbor
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy reminded mariners
yesterday that 1t was continuing
practice mine-laying in New York
Harbor.
A notice published by the depart
ment said mine-planting operations
were being conducted at the en-
trance to New York Harbor in an
area northwest Of Sandy Hook Light
Station. The first notice was pub
lished early last month and it was
explained at the time that the
mines were being placed. then
picked up again the same day.
A Navy photographic report
warned shipping to avoid the area
in which Army mine planters were
placing loaded mines. marked by
four spherical buoys painted red, in
New York's lower bay.
(The Army, which has jurisdic-
ton over all coast defense, ham
dies the mining of harbors)
The operation began June 18 and
will continue until September 80,
the report stated.
The mined area will be kept under
constant surveillance by boats as
long as the mines are in position, it
was said. !.
