THE RAMBLER REMEM-
BEERS that when he was Q
years old his parents moved
into the country and his
mother called in . doctor to
treat him for q sore throat.
He remembers his fascina-
ton with the doctors case.
He was . homeopathic physi-
chm.
It was nUt like the little
black bag carried by most
doctors and containing little
more than q stethoScope and
thermometer. This doctor
had q square case. almost rs
large as a suitcase. u had
the stethoscope, etc. and
also about so compartments
containing bottles Of small
pills Of various eolors. He
left some for juvenile RAM
bier, and the sore throat got
better.
Yesterday the Rambler
looked up the terms in the
oxford English Dictionary.
Homeopathy, It said. was
q system Of medical practice
founded BY Hahnemann Of
Leipzig about 1876. accord
ing to which diseases are
treated By small doses Of
drugs that would produce in
q healthy person symptoms
closely resembling those of
the disease treated.
Allopathy is the term
Hahnemann applied to tradi-
tional medicine.
The memorial is q large
one--a seated bronze figure,
green from exposure, and
an arched wall which is the
back Of q stone bench with
pictorial panels in 1t.
The date is in Roman
numerals, MON $500.
The text reads: Christian
Frederick Samuel Hahne-
mann, leader Of the great
medical reformation of the
18th century. founder Of the
homeopathic school"
Next the Rambler went to
the Homeopathic Pharmacy
at 724 Eleventh street NV.
to md out how much homeo-
patty is left. He had an
idea the American Medical
Association 1.-THE allopathsI

Plans for Stable
In Rock Greek
by 50
Chevy Chose Group
Cites Depreciation
Of Property Values


Plans for a 4O-hourse stable
in upper Rock Greek Park were
condemned today by Chevy
Chase residents who called the
idea Sowing q cancer Of
decay"
The so property holders who
appeared in a public hearing
before Edward J. Kelly. super
intendent Of National Capital
Parks, were unanimous in their
opposition to the proposed
location near the intersection
OF Oregon avenue and Bingham
road NV.
THE character references Of
stable boys are not known for
their impeccability." objected
Miss Ida e. Mates. who read a
report from the 9Th precinct
concerning misconduct re-
ported TO have taken place at
q Northwest stable.
Another objection came from
Samuel M. Badian. q builder
who has invested about
100000. He said that the sta
bic might not be visible from
the nearest houses, about a
quarter Of q mile away, but
added:
Il hate to think my invest
ment would be exposed to the
vaearies Of the wind"
Attorney Offers Brief
The sentiments Of Chevy
Chase householders were given
in some detail by Attorney
Harry Kessler.
In his informal brief, Mr..
Kessler said:
l. The stable has not been
requested by any large segment
OF the population.
2. Such an establishment
would mean q depreciation Of
property values running into
millions Of dollars.
3. 1t would constitute q haz-
ard to public health.
(. Construction Of such q
building would be contrary "a
the policy Of Government econ
omy.
Lending Concerns Opposed
Another salvo was loosed by
Mrs. Agnes c. Gaumnitz. who
said she feared for the safety
Of her teen-age daughter. Mrs.
0aumnitg also read into the
record letters from the Jeffer-
son Federal Savings and the
Farm and City Properties.
Both lending institutions
wrote that establishment Of
the livery stable at the pro-
posed location would definiteIy
lower property values and
ieopardize real estate invest.
ments in the area.
Reed Dickerson, coming chair.
man Of the Chevy Chase citi-
Gems Association, said his grour
had not had time to consider
the subject. but said all mem
bers thus far contacted re-
garded the stable as "a poten-
tally serious encroachment."
Poor Planning Seen
Last to testify was DR.. JACK
Levin. a conservation consult
ant to Congress and resident
Of the affected area.
DR.. Levin said THE history
Of the decay Of cities is q
story Of poor planning" and
added that juxtaposition Of 9
stable and fine residential
neighborhood was planning Of
the worst sort.
"Zoning must be considered
in terms Of maximum benefit
and minimum use." DR.. Levin
continued. 1T is my belief
that such an action would
establish the poorest imagin-
able precedent"
Mr.. Kelly said no definite
decision has been made on To-
cation Of the stable. nor would
one be made until all interested
and affected groups receive q
full hearing.

900 barrels daily from July and
100000 barrels daily under the de-
mand of year ago.
"The low demand for domestic
crude oil results from the high level
of product stocks, the small in
creases being experienced in de-
mand for products this year, and
the high rate of imports of foreign
crude OIL" the forecast explained.
Imports of crude oil in August
were estimated to average IL mil
lion barrels daily, up for the fifth
straight month since the reopen
ing of the Suez Canal in March.
1t was explained that crude oil
imports have increased steadily
since the 100000 barrel daily aver
age in April. They topped one
million barrels a day in May, rose
to 1,073,00O in June, to an esti-
mated 100000 barrels in July and
still higher to 100000 barrels
daily in August.
Imports of refined products, how
ever, have shown a corresponding
decline. They were reported at $685.
900 barrels daily in April, 415,000
in May, 100000 in June and an
estimated $4,000 in July and Aug
ust.
While domestic demand for June
improved seasonally, it remained
below the 1856 level. Current data
for June, according to the bureau,
indicate total runs of 7,895,000 bar
rels daily, including foreign runs
of 100000. Indicated demand for
domestic crude in June was 1922
900 barrels daily with production
Of 7,265,OO0 barrels daily.
Indicated exports Of crude in
June were $4,000 barrels daily.
The bureau said the improve
ment in product demand, plus re-
iuction in crude runs, reduced the
rate at which product stocks in
creased-836, 900 barrels daily in
May to $4,000 barrels daily in
June. Considering the level of pro-
duct stocks, however, the bureau
said "even this rate was an un-
necessarily high rate of increase"
