MISS MOORE HAS
PLACE THAT TWO
MEN OFFICIALS FILL
Young Woman Clerk Is
Now Acting Recorder of
Deeds of District.

Holding down the jobs of two men
and boss" Of all real estate transac-
tions for a while in the District, is the
unique distinction of Miss Gertrude L.
Moore, a young woman clerk in the Of
fee of the Recorder of Deeds at the
City Hall.
Not more than two-score years of
age. Miss Moore today has the unusual
honor of being the first woman ever in
charge of this important District office.
About seventy-fve employees, clerks
and stenographers. are subordinate to
this petite brunette young woman. in
charge of all deeds and mortgages FLED
this week at the City Hall.
Simultaneous absence from Washing
ton of Henry L. johnson, Recorder of
Deeds, and Deputy Recorder r. w.
Dutton, is what places Miss Moore upon
the throne" Mr.. Johnson is in the
South, called upon important business,
and Deputy Dutton is enjoying his an
nual vacation at Amherst, VT.
AS senior clerk and one OF seven
years experience. capable as an exec
utive and scrupulously painstaking in
her work, Miss Moore is left as the big
boss"
Modest in the extreme however, is
the young woman, despite her RESPONSE
btlity, of Infinite Importance to the title
records of property in the District.
When asked by an interview as to her
unusual official position, Miss Moore
almost angrily declined to give any in
formation and begged that nothing be
put in the papers
Neither is the woman acting record
er'' a militant suffragette, or an advo-
cate of ''Woman's rights" Her present
position is due solely. it is said, to her
record of faithful and efficient service.
Never since the organization of the
District government oldest inhabi-
tants" declare, has a woman been at
the head of the office of the Recorder
of Deeds.
All this week Miss Moore will occupy
her position until the return of Re

Vacation for Letter
Carriers; Service Cut

The vacation period is on for Wash
ington's letter carriers. AS a result of
this fact. there are but two, instead of
three deliveries a day in the residential
sections
Each of the mail carriers covers a
little extra territory during the summer
months, 10 stretch a short force over the
city. The law does not permit any car
Tier to work more than eight hours
day. Consequently, it is necessary to
cut down and stretch the service out, to
keep the deliveries.
In sections where there are four routes
in the winter time, they are consoli-
dated into three routes for the vacation
period. This allows one of the four
men off, and they take vacations in
turn.

Charges Discrimination
Against 6. w. Ingham

Discrimination against a foreign in
surance company seeking to do business
in the District is charged against George
w. Ingham, District Superintendent Of
Insurance, in a mandamus suit filed to-
day against him in the District Supreme
Court by the Southwestern Surety and
Insurance Company, of Durant, Okla.
Today Justice Barnard ordered Super
intendent Ingham to appear in court
Friday and show cause why a license
to do business here should not be grant
ed the Oklahoma corporation.
Because its capital stock is not paid
up and that it sells both insurance pol
icies and surety bonds, instead of deal
ing alone in insurance, are the alleged
reasons upon which Superintendent Ing
ham based his rejection of the Spplica-
ton.

l Side Light On The 1911
Boulogne Circuit Contest

One of the most remarkable achiev-
ment in automobile racing this year
was the performance of the Delage car
driven by Bablot, winner of the great
International Light Car Race in France.
June 25th. The Delage covered the
entire distance of 1916 miles over the
rough and hilly Boulogne Circuit without
single tire change, wonderful record
considering the condition of the roads
The Delage and the next four cars to
finish were all equipped with Michelin
Tires. In the flying Kilometer speed
trials on the day following, Michelin
Tires won "as usual" Both the WIN
ming Peugeot and the Alcyon finishing
second were equipped with Michelins.
Time Of winner was % 2-5 seconds.

Pointers For The Motorist

The Smallest Particles of Foreign
Matter in an Envelope will Ruin the
Inner Tnbe.
A motorist may find that an inner
tube has been injured and perhaps
ruined from no apparent cause. Upon
examination small holes will be found
in its surface, the only logical reason
for their presence being apparently
poor tube material. This, however, is
seldom the cause, says the Michelin
Tire Man. The real trouble lies with
the motorist. He has carelessly fitted
the tube allowing small particles of
mud and dirt to enter the envelope,
the air pressure from within the tube
and the external pressure having COM
bned to grind the foreign matter into
the tube.
When fitting a tire it is not enough
to simply clean the envelope and tube.
Care should be taken to admit no mud
or sand during the operation. The
tire leavers should not be left lying on
the ground as they will collect dirt
which may find its way into the en-
velope.
Many subjects on the proper care of
tires and tubes are instructively discus
sed in two books issued by tine Michelin
Tire Company of Milton, New Jersey.
Copies will be mailed free on request.

Offers an Auto For a Name

In Detroit they are looking for a
name for their annual Water Carnival.
A handsome Flanders automobile is to
be awarded to the person suggesting
!, the best name. There are no strings
tied to this offer,-a few minntes of
Thought and little originality and the
auto may be yours. The contest is
open to people everywhere.
The City of the Straits is ideally
situated for gigantic water fete such
as is proposed. The beautiful Detroit
River with its crystal-clear water flows
by on its way to Lake Erie, only six
teen miles away. Lying right opposite
Detroit is her renowned fairy-land,
Belle Isle, great island park, which
is generally conceded to be the most
beautiful in all the world. Up stream,
just ten miles, is Lake St. Clair, and
father on, the Venice of America,
Detroit's unique summer resorss.
Detroit's waterfront is twenty four
miles in length. and across the River,
Canada affords similar stretch of
river-front. So. from the many van
tage points, hundreds of thousands can
see the magnificent river spectacle by
day and by night. The Carnival of 1912
will be held during the week of July
oath. The Detroit Board of Commerce
appreciates the magnitude of this event
and so has offered the Flander car as
prize. The name must be Catchy
and in some way Characteristic of De-
troit. The contest closes Ocotber 10Th
and all names must be sent to the Con-
test Committee of the Detroit Board
of Commerce, Detroit, Michigan.
