PEDESTRIAN HELD
ACCIDENTS’ CAUSE
Van Duzer Places Blame in
House Hearings on D. C.
Supply Bill.
Carelessness by pedestrians was
blamed as the principal cause of acci
dents by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer during testimony before
a House subcommittee on appropria
tions in recent hearings on the 1938
District appropriation bill.
Van Duzer pointed out that between
January 1 and February 11 of this
year there were 19 traffic fatalities, 15
of which were the fault of the victims
themselves—all pedestrians.
Chairman Collins insisted the "pe
destrian does not have a chance," but
Van Duzer was equally as insistent he
does “if he will take it.”
Death Toll Drop Claimed,
Va Duzer also pointed out that the
death toll, from traffic accidents has
decreased in recent years and at
tributed that record to the* revocation
of drivers’ permits in speeding cases,
a continuous safety educational cam
paign and the operation of traffic
lights.
Collins, however, continued to insist
pedestrians do not have "a chance.”
“I usually ride, but I walk quite
frequently,” he said, “and it s ems to
me that, at least at intersections, the
pedestrian does not have a chance."
He said he thought the safest place
for a pedestrian to cross the street
would be in front of the Washington
Hotel where two street car loading
platforms are located. "That is where
X in ariably do cross," he declared.
Discuss Traffic Light.
Collins and Van Duzer also engaged
In a discussion of the value of the
traffic light on Massachusetts avenue
near the British Embassy. The dia
logue was as follows:
Mr. Collins—I have noticed the
traffic light on Massachusetts avenue
near the embassy section.
Mr. Van Duzer—At Waterside drive
and Massachusetts avenue?
Mr. Collins—It stays on there for
about two minutes in the middle of the
day. I was wondering what is the
necessity for that light.
Mr. Van Duzer—For traffic coming
out of the park.
Mr. Collins—Nobody comes out or
the park.
Mr. Van Duzer—Yes they do.
Mr. Collins—I drive along there all
the time and I have never seen any
body.
Mr. Van Duzer—That is a vehicle
actuated light and it is always green
on Massachusetts avenue unit some
body comes out of the park and actu
ates that light.
D. C. HEAT HELD FORCING
9-MONTH SCHOOL YEAR
Ballou Tells Engel in Hearings
Why Capital Does Not Have
Longer Terms.
Washington youth is indebted to
the Capital’s sizzling and humid
Summers for a 9-month school year
instead of the 10-month year which
so many other cities have.
That, at least, is what Supt. Frank
W. Ballou said in answer to a ques
tion by Representative Albert J. Engel
of Michigan in the hearings on the
District supply bill reported yesterday.
"Why should not Washington have
10 months of school to get these
youngsters off the streets?” Engel
asked. Ballou replied that the nine
month length was adopted here be
cause of the extreme heat of July
and September and because Con
gressmen and Government workers
often take their children out of school
early and enroll them late.

PEOPLE’S COUNSEL PAY
IS DENIED IN BILL
Overlapping of Duties With Pub
lic Utilities Commission Cited
by Subcommittee.
The office of People’s Counsel would
be left vacant, by refusal of an appro
priation for the job, under the terms
of the 1938 District supply bill as
reported yesterday to the House.
The Collins subcommittee stated
that testimony given at the hearings
was to the effect there is overlapping
in the duties of this position and the
duties of the Public Utilities Commis
sion.
William A. Roberts resigned the post
last November 1. Since then the
President has made no public move
to name a successor.

Putt-Putt Boat
In School List
Puzzles Collins
Toy Will Be Used in
Rudimentary
Science Work.
The Inclusion of a putt-putt boat
among the requested science equipment
In the school budget was a source of
amazement to Chairman Ross A. Col
lins of the Subcommittee on Appropri
ations—until he found out it was a toy.
Investigating the justification for
Items requested for instruction in rudi
mentary science in the elementary
schools, Collins wanted to know where
the school officials planned to use the
boat. “'Nearly all the members of this
committee are fishermen," or think we
are, and we are wondering, if these
putt-putt boats were purchased, if we
might not go fishing with you,” he
asked.
Apparently mystified, Supt. F. W.
Ballou replied that he did not think
there was one in the justification.
“Yes, you will find it mentioned on
page 237,” the chairman retorted.
"Oh,” said Ballou, “that is a toy
boat.”
“That is for demonstrating certain
principles of physics,” explained First
Assistant 8upt. Robert L. Haycock.
Another item Collins eyed with sus
picion was the request for a Florence
flask. Haycock explained it was the
trade name of a certain kind of equip
ment needed.
“What are you going to do with
rubber balloons?” the chairman

Noted Foot Authority Tells
How to End Corn Misery
Corns, Soft Corns, Callouses and Bunions are the most
common forms of foot trouble. To take a corn out without
removing the cause—friction and pressure of the shoe—is a
waste of time and money. An ounce of prevention is often
times worth a pound of cure. Again, people cannot be too
careful about the kind of com remedy they use. Cutting
corns or the use of strong liquids, salves or plasters lead to
many cases of sore toes, infection and blood-poisoning.
Dr. Wm. M. Scholl,
(if D.. DS.C.)
In Dr. Scholl
Zino-pads I have
provided an im
proved, triple-ac
tion treatment —
soft, cushioning pads and Separate
Medicated Com Removing Disks.
When pad is applied shoe friction
and pressure are removed and pain
stops instantly. Or if it is desirable
to remove the corn quickly and pain
lessly, use the Medicated Com Re
moving Disk under the pad. If a Zino
pad is used at the first sign of irrita
tion or soreness the com cannot de
velop, or if used over the tender spot
after the corn is removed the corn
cannot return.
Dr. Scholl’s Zino-pads come in sizes
for Corns, Callouses, Bunions and
Soft Corns between the toes. They are
velvety-soft, waterproof—do not
come off, get soggy in the bath, nor
stick to the hose and ruin them. Cost
but a trifle. Sold everywhere. Get a
package to

ter. Insist
