If it's glamor that's .been worry ing you, here's good news:
 Latest choice for the Ideal Am erican Girl is a self-reliant career girl, selected for her natural beauty not for glamor.
 She is slim, hazel-eyed, chest nut-haired, sum- tanned Anne Scott, New York model from the Mid dle West.

She is a graduate of Ohio state Univer- sity, and is interested in writing short stories. Recently she was chosen Queen of the American Theater's Carnival in aid of Brit ain.
 She is not a dazzling beauty, but she certainly is pretty. She doesn't use heavy makeup. She puts on her lipstick to follow the natural contours of her lips and dresses her chestnut hair to bal ance her features and to frame her face. She doesn't strive for an exotic effect; simply brings oui her good points.
 And sine has a sense of. chic When I saw Anne she wore trim ly tailored olive drab suit, with { hint of the military in it's design Perched behind her pompadour wa tasselled knitted cap red as l flag to match her lips, nails ans bag.

the number killed in the entire
month of September last year. In
reviewing the circumstances Of ac-
cidents this month, Inspector Miller
pointed out that only two of the
victims were riding in automobiles
seven of the victims having been
walking and the other one being
a boy on roller skates.
Two pedestrian victims were
struck and killed as they stepped
of street car loading platforms
one by street car and the other
by an automobile-and third
pedestrian lost his life when an
automobile ploughed through a
street car loading zone.
Four pedestrians were killed in
crossing streets, one by street car
and three by automobiles.
Asked for comment on the deaths
which have occurred On or near
street car loading platforms-so-
called safety Zones-Inspector Miller
declared the record illustrates the
need for better protection in such
safety zones.
Better Loading Platforms.
He recalled that he has recon-
mended reduction in the number
of loading platforms, and adequate
protection for pedestrians at the
remaining ones. These should be
protected on the approach side by
cement pillars or some such barrier,
and there should also be warning
lights on the approach side, Inspec-
tor Miller said.
The inspector pointed out that
about 5 per cent of the Districts
traffic deaths occur at or near such
loading zones, and said:
IF we can eliminate this 5 per
cent, we shouldn't waste time doing
it."
The two biggest factors in WASH
ington's traffic fatalities, Inspector
Miller said, are excessive speeding
by drivers and carelessness on the
part of both motorist and pedestrian.
During an inquest Friday into one
OF the traffic deaths, 1t. William j.
Liverman of the Accident Preven-
ton Unit, told the jury that the
point where the victim was killed
by street car was the safest place
to cross" the street for about three
blocks in that area.
Cr0sswalks Needed.
He declared there are no cross
walks for pedestrians on Indiana
avenue from Third to Fifth streets
and that the thousands of workers
at buildings there have to cross "the
best way they can"
He said the A. P. u. had asked for
crosswalks both here and at certain
other danger areas but had been in
formed there was not enough money
to buy paint for crosswalk lines for
these various locations.

When the tennis champion was
stricken with pleurisy and confined
to a sanitarium in 1884 and told she
would be semi-invalid for the rest
of her life, she decided there was
nothing to lose by taking matters
into her own hands-or rather her
own feet, and she started the walk

I was walking 3 miles a day." she

The detailing of more policemen
aid in handling District traffic
opposed yesterday as the first ster
"ard complying with President
0osevelt's suggestion that condi-
lns be improved in Washington
IS won the approval of the District
dvisory Committee of the American
utomobile Association.
District officials said plans were
being considered for assignment OF
at least 80 policemen to supplement
traffic lights in the downtown area
This proposal was endorsed by
John L. Vandegrift of the A. A. A.
who demanded, in addition, i'm
provenent in the traffic light system
and vigorous enforcement of traffic
laws.
The plan to station traffic police
men at downtown intersections was
proposed by the Board of Com
missioners. Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer pointed out that in
other cities, such as New York, three
or four policemen are assigned to
aid in handling traffic at a single
intersection.
More Motorcycle Men.
Mr.. Van Duzer, in addition, said
the number of motorcycle policemen
should be raised to 125. At present
there are only IS.
The statement from the A. A. A
said that president Roosevelt's
demand for better control of traffic
in the National Capital should give
timely impetus" to the drive for ar
improvement of conditions here
The following were the suggestions
advanced by the A. A. A. spokes-
man:
81. Expand the present traffic
force by the addition of trained
officers in the necessary number
whether it be 200 or 300 men
Studies by the Public Roads Admin
istration have disclosed that control
of traffic at selected intersections
by efficient officers will speed traffic.
q. Rigid control and enforcement
of regulations to stop all double
parking and particularly large buses
passing each other in the areas of
traffic concentration.
"3. Vigorous enforcement of traf-
f1c regulations, particularly as re-
CARDS turning from the wrong lane,
beating lights etc.
a. Better timing of lights with
shorter cycles. Studies have indi-
Gated that there is no advantage
in favoring heavily travelled streets
with extremely long light intervals,
particularly when signals at sue
ccssive intersections are properly
-ordinated."
Seven Pedestrians Killed.
Meanwhile, Inspector Arthur E.
Miller, head of the Police Accident
Prevention Unit, pointed out that
