Relieving Traffic Conditions We frequently hear complaints regarding traffic conditions in the business district of the city and many plans are advanced for the relief of these congested conditions, some of which have considerable merit, while other plans advanced, would only aid in increasing the traffic jam, and should in no way be considered. To overcome this condition, all laws should be enforced with ref erence to parking on both sides of narrow streets, and on Walnut street in particular. Busses going south on Jefferson street should be compelled to cross intersecting streets before letting off or taking on passengers, and which rule should be applied at all intersections. 11 the advisability of this plan is doubted, one has only to watch the traffic jam at Jefferson and Adams streets, where the busses take on and let off passengers at the southwest corner of this intersection, before turning west on Adams street, and it will be seen that traffic is held up during the time it takes to load and unload passengers. It frequently occurs that these busses come to a stop when the green lights are on and at times when there are a number of machines following the busses, which machines are unable to go around the busses because cars are parked on the east side of Jefferson street and there is not sufficient room to pass. In consequence of this, those cars following the bus must wait until passengers are taken on or let off and by which time the red light is flashed, and traffic is delayed until the signal to go, is again given. If the busses were compelled to turn west on Adams street before taking on or letting off passengers, block ades would not be so frequent, and what is said with regard to this particular intersection, is applicable to many other street intersections in the city. A great deal of the present traffic congestion might be eliminated if Macedonia avenue w r as opened from Twelfth street, north to the Granville pike and by opening the west end of Twelfth street, westerly to the Yorktown pike. If this were done through tourist traffic and heavy trucks, which cause much of the congestion, would pass around the ci^y instead of passing over our narrow thoroughfares in the business district of the city. In case this plan was carried out, through tourist traffic arf trucks coming from the north over State higlway No. 3, and from the northeast over State highway No. 67, instead of following the present line of traffic through our narrow streets, w^ould pass over Macedonia avenue to Twelfth street and proceed west on Twelfth street .to the Yorktown pike. The same character of traffic coming or going, either east, or west, would follow the new highway between Alexandria and State highway No. 3, and follow the line of the npw highway, instead of coming over Wheeling avenue and thence dhrqugb the .city, while traffic flom Marion and other northwesterly points would follow state highway No. 21 to its intersection with the Alexandria state highway No. 28, at which point it would turn east to State highway No. 3, and follow' this line south to Twelfth street and west to the Yorktown pike. What is true of these cases w r ould also be true as to traffic coming from the east, which might turn either north or south at Macedonia avenue, and follow the line described, and by which means congested traffic conditions would be decreased, possibly thirty per cent.

Contrasting Starts Reports from Washington are reassuring to the people of Indiana who voted last fall for the election of Frederick VanNuys to the Uni ted States Senate. There is considerable significance in the dispatch that Senator VanNuys has not delivered his maiden address on the floor of the Senate but is busily engaged in the tedious work of the important committees to which he has been assigned. It will be remembered that only a few' weelts after he had taken his seat in the United States Senate, that famous “birds of a feather” address was delivered by Senator Robinson. Indiana has never quite lived down the disgrace of that explosion or the subsequent ridiculous activities of Robinson. There is a distinct contrast between the start made by Robinson and that which Senator VanNuys is pursuing. Senator VanNuys is feeling his way about, doing the things he knows he is supposed to do and gaining the confidence of the men who are veterans in public service. Already his ability has been recognized by his being placed on one of the most important committees in the Senate organization. He is giving Indiana a new position of esteem and respect by his code of saying something effective when he says anything, and w'orking diligently the rest of the time. Even at this early stage in his career, it is easy to believe that Senator VanNuys will soon be a leader in the United States Senate and one in whom the people of Indiana will have absolute confidence and trust.

'' Pat and Mike were employed by a roofing concern in New York who had a contract to put a pitch roof on a new five-s'tory building, and at the time this incident occurred, both were engaged in hoisting barrels of pitch to the roof. They had a beam projecting out over the wall with a rope and pulley attached. When raising the barrels of pitch to the roof, both would go to the street and raise the barrel until it was slightly above the roof. Ohe of them would then hold the barrel in suspension, while the other went on 4 he roof and slipped a plank under the barrel. It so happened that the plank was defective. When Pat, who was! holding the rope on the ground, got the signal to lower the barrel, he did'so and as the weight was suddenly thrust upon the plank, it broke, the result being that as the barrel, which was heavier than Pat, descended with great velocity toward the street, while Pat ascended with equal velocity in the direction of the roof, where he was held in suspension against the pulley. iMike, seeing Pat’s predicament, descended to the street as fast as possible and being somewhat excited, he proceeded to cut the rope, which caused Pat to descend with still greater velocity. Fortunately he landed in a pile of sand and was not much hurt, although somewhat shaken up. While thi=: was occurring, there was a painter engaged in painting window sash about naif way up the building, and when Pat descended, the painter rushed down and the first thing he asked was: “Are you hurt, Pat?” To which Pat answered: “Go to hell: Oi passed ye twoice; once going up and whin Oi cum down, and ye didn’t spake to me!”

Food Sanitation

By JOHN H. WILLIAMS, M. D. (City Health Commissioner)

How few folks ever bother to in quire! The lunch room looks attractive. It is convenient to business or shopping district. The food there always tastes good. What else could a person want? Behind the swinging door where the chef prepares the food and the waiters collect it on thei;: trays, may lurk the friends of disease or

enemies of health. 75 Million Meals.

We are told by good authority that before our present depression came on. 75 million meak were eaten out of the home in the United States every day. Those figuies alone argue loudly "for the perfect sanitation of the public eating places, and a regular inspection of them by health authorities. In order to protect the health of their patrons, proprietors should be forced to live up to every letter of the sanitary law. Did you ever stop to think how man.v persons might have drank out of the glass

mals can feast? Are the doors and windows of the kitchen and dining rooms properly screened? Are the pies, cakes and cookies left un covered, or are they protected glass from stray coughs and sneezes? How modern is the plumbing? How clear are the walls and the floor and the counter? While we should be critica' about the sterilizing of all serving articles, and the physical condi tion of the kitchen, but do we evei stop to ask what is the health con dition of the men and womeu be hind the swinging doors, who handle and serve our food?

Hints to Proprietors.

That is one of the duties tlu Jocal health department tries to ac complish. Food handlers are often carriers of typhoid fever, venera diseases and other diseases and only by a careful checkup and iplose observation can the publk health be safeguarded. 'Certain ^standards of personal cleanliness

If these articles have been properly washed, and then tuoiougnly sterilized in boiling y.ater, you need have no fear, and in a 10<» per cent sanitary kitchen they will be. The sterilization of the articles we put in our months, is very important, for they carry germs that, although they cannot be seen, are very dangerous.

Cleanliness Necessary.

“To hell with trouble makers*” iThe above is an unfortunate quotation from the lips of the militant ex-Vice-President Dawes when a group of Chicago school teachers who have not been paid for a long time becked him when they went to see what his bank would do about taking more Chicago tax warrants. ■Now, Mr. Dawes, Chicago’s school teachers are not trouble makers. As a matter of fact they have established a reputation for being among the finest people in America when it comes to maintaining American creeds. Under circumstances about as trying as can be found in history, these brave men and women have held up their end of the game. They have gone on teaching our children when at times they were themselves suffering personal hunger, were being dispossessed from their homes and were suffering everything else that conies from lock of

money.

'They are in trouble, not because of anything they did themselves, but because of conditions created by gentlemen who run politics and who handle public money. They have worked. They have worked faithfully. They have given their time and their minds to the job of building up the future genera-

tion of Americans.

'Finally, through no fault of their own, they have at last reached a position where they are in desperate need of money. Naturally, they are now doing everything they can to try to get the money that is due them. If we weren’t going to pay them, why did we accept their services? We did accept their services, and we kept promising them. No people have ever accepted quite as any promises as the Chicago school
