AID IN WAR
ONWASTEPRODUCTS
David J. Price to Work With Bu-
reau of Chemistry in By
Product Uses.

David ]. Price, chief engineer In
the dust-explosion Investigations
conducted by the Department OF Ag-
ricuIture. and for many years a resi-
dent of Washington. will be in the
Office OF Development work just
created by the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture in the Bureau of Chemistry, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day.
The work OF the new office will be
to help commercial and industrial
concerns to apply new processes and
discoveries of chemists in the De-
partment of Agriculture to their own
use. Every year valuable discoveries
are made concerning the utilization
Of manufacturing waste: or new
food product is found. or a new dye.
glue or preservative. but the value
OF these discoveries have been great
ly reduced through the discoverer's
inability to present his proposition in
terms which the business man can
understand, and the public. runs the
risk of losing a much needed ma
tcrial.
Under the new organization a stan
of engineers. under the direction OF
Mr.. Price. will look after the product
an soon as it has passed beyond the
experimental or laboratory stage and
will prepare estimates for the con-
venience of manufacturers.
Mr.. Price and his associates will
furnish data upon raw material, sup
ply, cost of production, and the use 10
which the product is adapted-in
short. they provide an unbiased prac-
tical prospectus to show the public
exactly what may be expected from
the new material or process on
quantity production scale. 1t is be-
lieved that this cooperation will de-
velop many neglected sources of pub
lie and private profits.
DR.. Carl L. Alsberg. chief of the Bu-
reau OF Chemistry, in letter. to the
Secretary of Agriculture. stated that
such a service is urgently needed to
translate the work OF the bureau into
a form that could be understood and
applied to the manufacturer and In
vestor.

JAIL
Inmates Enjoy Equal
Rights-Women May
Smoke If They Desire.
FAVOR CIGARETTES.
Few Use Missouri Meer-
schaums - Prefer
Tailor Mades.
FAVOR CIGARETTES.

Gentle clouds OF smoke emanating
from thirty paper-covered cylinders
stuffed with various qualities of
nicotine, in the women's section of
the District Jail, show that discrim-
ination is not shown as between
men and women prisoners who de-
sire solace in the weed.
Smoke? OF course. they smoke"
said Capt. w. L. Peak, deputy super
intendent, this morning. His atten-
tion was called to a story from Chi
cago, telling of the efforts of re-
formers there to keep women pris-
oners from soiling their lips with
cigarettes.
I'VE believe in equal rights here,
and II the women want to smoke,
they are allowed to do so.
They don't learn smoking in the
jail. I'm sure OF that. But out OF
forty women prisoners in the jail
now. at least thirty were smokers
before they came here. There's
nothing in the rules to prevent, and
IL they can get the materials. they
can enjoy a smoke as often as they
please"
Cigarettes are the universal form
Of indulgence, Captain Peak said. A
few cases have been found in the
District where women smoked corn
cob pipes; but for some reason this
class do not find themselves behind
the bars. Or at any rate, once in
the select society OF the barred
doors. they either buy tailor
mades" or roll their own.

HALT MILK RAISE
Health Officer Writes to Dealers
Asking Boost Be Not Made
In September.

Following reports that the price OF
milk will be increased in the District
>on September 1, DR.. William c. Fow-
Ter, District health officer, today
sent letters to the milk distributors
in Washington, urging them to CO.
operate with the producers and not
make the threatened increase,
DR.. Fowler explains in his letter
that he has information that there
has been an abundance Of milk in the
capital this summer, and that ire
quently large quantities had to be
returned to the producers.
One of the large dairymen in the
city said this morning that it is usual
for the price of milk to be increased
September 1, when the winter prices
take effect Milk is now retailing
in Washington at 16 and II cents
quart
Just what increase is to be asked
could not be ascertained from the
dairyman, who admitted, however
that milk prices would be increased
not later than October /. DR.. Fowler
particularly asks that the dairymen
not increase their prices during Sep
tember.

New York Is All Right, They De-

New York-sw. we wouldn't live

This was the expression OF a
sinewy and tanned younEster OF
eleven with a red band on his arm
inscribed with the word Texas" and
II apparently was the opinion OF 124
other boys from ten To eighteen years
OF age, each with a similar brassard
and similar coat OF tan. and mus
cles that were developed in earning
nrst prizes for agriculture and stock
raising that entitled them to a tour
OF eighteen States and entertain
ment in all the large cities along

We've had some time" remarked
the youthful Lone Star. riding In
Pullmans all night and looking over
cities all day Des Moines. and Chi
cago, and Detroit and Canada. and
Niagara Falls, and New York. and I
guess this is about the top notch.
New Iork-aw, what does any
body want to live in New York for:
Just lot OF people jamming one an
other. Coney's fun. and we liked the
ride on the buses: and the subways
are great. But I'd rather be home
on a farm than have TO stay there
All the time. the town.
More things to see here in a day than
anywhere else. We're spending two
days here, and l don't believe we'll
see IL all then"
The thermometer got below ninety
degrees yesterday. and worried some
OF the boys, who had neglected to
bring their overcoats; but they man
aged to move around to keep warm.
They went to Mt. Vernon on the boat.
and interviewed the dinosaur at the
National Museum. One young live
stock expert remarked that a critter
like that would scale pretty well for
beef, but IL would take one mighty
lot of alfalfa and grain to fatten him.
Today they inspected the capitol and
several government buildings and
dned at famous restaurant on
the Avenue. This afternoon, Secre-
tary Meredith. who entertained them
at his home in Des Moines. will ad-
dress them at the Agriculture Do
partment. They leave tonight for
Roanoke. Birmingham. Nashville.
New Orleans and home.

TAKE FIGHT TO
WHITE HOUSE.
10000 Unclassified Employees
Seek Benefits Of Civil Retire
ment Measure.

President Wilson will be asked to
morrow to issue an executive order
placing under the provisions OF the
civil Service retirement act the 10000
Government employees in the unciassi-
fled civil, service.
Robert II. Alcorn, chairman OF the
Joint conference on retirement. today
issued a call for a special meeting OF
the conference tonight at 1928 New
York avenue. when a committee will
be named to take the petition of the
unciassified employees to the White
House.
THE Attorney General has already
ruled that the President may, in his
discretion, issue an executive order,
Mr.. Aleorn said. I'VE merely want
him to exercise that authority. A SINH
lar request was made OF the Civil
Service Commission some time ago.
Nothing came OF IL. We now plan to
take our appeal direct to the White
House.
Approximately 10000 Government
employees would be affected by SUCH
move. They include janitors, laborers
and charwomen. In hundreds OF cases
these employees have given their serv-
ices to the Government for twenty
five to fifty years. Their pay is less
than that in the classified civil serv-
ice. which means they have been un-
able to lay by any OF their income
against old age"
The unclassified employees are rep
resented on the joint conference board
by Luther c. Steward. president OF
the National Federation OF Federal
EMPLOYEES.

PROTEST TO R|TCH|E
RiggIes Complains That Prince
Georges Is Ignored in High
way Contracts.

John r. Riggles, OF Seabrook. Md.
representative of the Good Roads
League Of Prince Georges county and
candidate for Congress, has written a
letter to Governor Richie protesting
because none OF the recent contracts
for eigthy-fve miles of improved
highway was for the beneit of Prince
Georges county. The letter says:
1.-The citizens OF Prince Georges
county are sadly disappointed in the
action OF the State roads commission
in not giving out a contract for the
Defense Highway from Bladensburg
to Lanham. or the eighty-five miles
of State roads bids given out yester-
day, not one mile is for Prince
Georges county.
This highway will benefit more
taxpayers than any road in the
county. Besides, it has been dedi-
Gated to our fifty-four heroes lost in
the world war and IL would be ap-
preciated by their comrades

SCHOOLS SHY
100 TEACHERS
Increases in Salary, However,
Expected to Aid in Filling
Vacancies Speedily.

with the reopening OF the Distric:
public schools only one month away
the Board OF Education faces a short
age OF 100 teachers, but with the sal
airy increases granted last spring bv
Congress, little difficulty Is expected
in flling their places.
Teachers salaries, under the bill,
are placed at a minimum OF 81 200. in
cluding a s240 bonus. The minimum
salary under the old order was from
$500 to 5000. officials believe an offer
OF q salary OF 81 ,44O will be an in
ducement for bringing back many old
teachers who have resigned because
OF che low pay OF teachers. The new
scale Will go into effect for the nrst
time on September I.
stephen +. Kramer, assistant sIper-
intendent OF schools, stated today hat
he has a list OF eligibles, and he
hopes to hll many vacancies from IT.
Vacancies In the teaching corps are
nlled by temporary appointments OF
eligible teachers, and by open com
petitive examinations.
"Of course when school opens we
hope to have all the vacancies filled
We are working on the problem now,
but when the day comes for checking
up we will probably have about 100
vacancies. You can't tell how the
problem will work out"
Three hundred teachers resigned
from the schools for the year ending
June, 1919. They sought positions
paying higher salaries. or this num-
ber, some were granted leave of alb.
sence, others got married. Officials
since that date have succeeded in fill
ing vacancies up to 100 teachers.

The death Of Mr.. Boyd marks the
passing of one of the most remark
able figures at the Capitol-the only
man who ever could have filled the
shoes of the wizard, AMI Smith, as
superintendent of records.
A man with a memory was George
II. Boyd--a memory which senators
declared even excelled that of his Ia
nous predecessor, who was said to be
a living encyclopedia of congressional
information. AS a disciple of the Ia
nous AMI Smith, he was able to
serve as the official guide to all new
senator's and any veterans as well
who wanted to know anything about
doings at the Capitol.
Ten days ago Mr.. Boyd was taken
from the City Club. where he lived
many years, to Casualty Hospital. He
died at 5:45 o'clock this morning.
INVALID MANY MONTHS.
For many months Mr.. Boyd had
been an invalid, having been COM
PEELED to give up his duties at the
Capitol since May 81. While friends
knew of his serious illness. his death.
at the age of fifty-nine years, came
as a surprise.
Funeral arrangements are being
made by a brother, Joseph B. d. Boyd,
ton when notified of the serious
ness of Mr.. Boyd's illness. Services
will be held tomorrow afternoon at
Gawler's undertaking chapel. the Rev.
George F. Dudley, pastor of st.

stephens Episcopal Church, ofhciat-
ing.
Senator Harding. the Republican
nominee for the Presidency and Sen
ator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, the Re-
publican leader, were among Mr..
Boyds stanchest friends in Congress-
1t was Senator Lodge who upset Con
gressional precedence by mentioning
Mr.. Boyd's name for the first time in
history in getting him an increase
in pay. Between the two there was
lifelong friendship.
WAS "PONY EXPREssMAN.-
During his long years of service at
he was a member of the Pony Ex-
press" as the riding messengers were
known, Mr. Boyd became a national
figure. His valuable services in the
document room caused that office to
become an institution at the Capitol.
Visitors often went to take a peep"
at him.
He was born in Washington in
April, 1851 and has lived here all
his life. Senator Henry b. Anthony
of Rhode Island appointed him a page
in the Senate when ten years of age.
This was December 3, 1871. Ever
since then Mr.. Boyd has known every
Senator who has served. One mem
ber said: Senators may come and
Senators may so, but George Boyd
goes on forever"
From July ], 1881 until the follow
ing November, he served as a riding
messenger attached to the Senate
postofficc. In those days the pages
rode ponies and 1t was a great job
for a kid. When Congress met De-
cember 8, he went back to his duties
in the Senate, remaining until 1888
when he had another chance to ride
a pony.
His big chance came September l..
1SNS when he was appointed assist
a Il in the Senate document room. His
teacher was the famous Amzi Smith.
March 10, 1891 he became first assist.
ant and his days and nights were
spent in studying bills and laws.
When Smith died in 1908. Senators
didn't believe anybody could fill his
shoes. They determined, however, II
anybody could, 1t was young Boyd. SO
accordingly he was appointed super
intendent February IS. Since then
he has been the right-hand man OF
every Senator.
MIND WAS STOREHOUsE.
His mind was storhouse OF facts
pertaining to the matters OF the
Senate, and he could turn to thou
sands of intricacies of public affairs
that are not indexed and cannot he
indeNed. Scarcely bill or resolu-
tion was introduced in the last half
century that did not have its proper
niche I'm Boyd's memory.
He could recall when Senators par.
ticipated in important debates. nam
ing the days and months when de-
bates were held. Moreover, he had
studied the debates Of the past so that
