MANAGER SOUGHT
IN MILK SITUATION
Representative Says Busi-
ness of Supply Here Would
: Be Solved.

The proposal was made at the hear
ing on the District milk situation to-
day by Representative Millspaugh OF
Missouri, a member of the subcom-
n1fttee which has been conducting
hearings for several months, that
new government official acting as a
business manager for the entire busi-
ness of supplying milk in Washing
ton should be appointed as solution.
The duties of this official would be
to adjust amicably differences be-
tween the producer and the distribu-
tor, at the same time protecting the
consumer. This new office would be
health Office, which would continue
its health protection work with re-
gard to the milk supply.
Put as hypothetical question by
Representative Millspaugh, this pro-
posAi was approved by Attorney
Barbour, representing the Maryland
and; Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
tion, while the attorneys for the dis
tributers reserved judgment.
H. L. Black and J. ]. Bowles, two
Washington milk distributors. were
questioned by the subcommittee to-
day The producers will be put. on
the stand next Tuesday.
that one producer in Maryland. with
eighty one cows, shipping to a dis
tributer in the District. had his permit
revoked by Health Officer Fowler be-
cause he had not had his entire herd
tuberculin tested. In the test that
was made fifty-one out of eighty-one
cows reacted and: had. to be shipped
been tested since. 1905. Or. Fowler
!. claimed that this incident was in
favor Of that feature of his bin. which
called for an annual tNberculin test.

Hard To Get People
To Work In British
Government Quarters

London-1n England. as in most
countries, it is very. difficult to get
people to work as hard for govern
ment departments as for \ business
houses. That is the conclusion forced
upon a special committee which has
been trying to find out what is wrong
with the civil service.
Before the war the civil service m
ployed $4,000 people at a cost Of
f29, 500, 900. Now it employa $4,000
at a cost Of f67,400, 900. Civil serv-
ants. it is stated. usually start work
in London at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, take three quarters of an hour
for lunch and knock off promptly at
they quit at 1880. Their hours Of
work during the week thus average
only 81. Their annual holidays range
from three weeks to eight weeks, ac-
,cording to the way they are graded.
The committee sees no reason why
the hours OF civil servants should not
be the same as those Of ordinary
clerks in civil employment, nor why
they should get more than two or
three weeks vacation, as is customary
in business houses.
1T is clear" the committee says,
that If the hours of work were in
creased to a moderate extent 1t would
be possible to reduce the staffs and
so effect a reduction in the cost Of
the service"
That is obvious, but no government
has succeeded in doing it yet ana
meanwhile the STATS Of the various
government departments are not wor-
rying over the prospect of having to
work longer hours and getting shorter
holidays.

Industries Shifted
Rank In 20 Years

pairing its graphic analysis of the
1919 census OF manufactures. the
national Industrial conference board
announces that it has measured the
rank of fifty leading American in

ers employed. .,f.
The striking facts brought out are
the leading places assumed by the
automobile. electrical machinery.
petroleum and steel ship building in
dustries. and the falling bohind in
rank Of the agricultural Implement,
the malt and cereal beverage, the
brick and clay products and the
wooden industries.
"The automobile industry said a

ninth in rank among the fifty leading
industries of the country in 1899 and
seventh in 1919. In this period wage
earners employed in the electrical
machinery industry increased 4o5.5
per cent, and in steel ship building
1913 per cent. The malt and cereal
beverage industry suffered a decline
of 1872 per cent in wage earners m

GUIDING G H
FOR NIGHT FLYING

New York-The airways regularly
traversed by the mail planes are to\be
safeguarded by a series of land light
houses. Many experiments have been
carried on to determine the most ef-
fective means for establishing these
guiding lights, and the government
has asked for definite estimates. Sew
at present in operation abroad, and
1t is planned to guard u air routes
no less carefully than our seacoast.
Bids have been invited for the
acetylene gas-operated type of light
house and the incandescent search
light. Both have been used success
fully abroad. Plans call for lights
visible twenty-five miles in all direc-
tons. The land lighthouses could
thus be situated about that distance
apart, thus making it possible for a
up the next. The most powerful light
of this kind is in use at Dijon, France,
which has been sighted at a distance
of 200 miles.
1t is planned to make these guild
ing lights so distinctive that an avia-
tor on picking n up at a distance
will instantly recognize it. A power
full searchlight was directed hort-
zontally against a reflector, placed at
Gil dI1S1o- VI lOfly-HVc OCS1CcS. 4Ac
surface of the reflector in urn &c
iected the light to a vertical position.
The reflector vas then slowly rotated,
causing the upright beam Of light to
move in a narrow circle. A ,fier
many miles away could thus readily
identify the light.
The work Of lighting an airway is
much simpler than that of guarding
a line. In the first place, the
Always T freer from fogs than the
sea coast. and their signals may be
clearly read for much. greater dis
tances. The most powerful coast
lights, v those Of millions Of can
die power, are often completely blot
ted out by fogs.
A light placed at a height of five
feet above the earth is visible for two
and a half miles, but If the light Is
100 feet high it may be seen a little
more than eleven miles. 1t is neces-
sary to raise a light 500 feet to make
it visible twenty-five miles. Aslight
may be visible for greater distances
because Of its reflection in the sky
but it cannot be seen beyond the
curvature of the earth. Now, in IL.
Eliminating land anyways, there is nc
such restriction. The operator Of ar
airplane, being in the air at a con.
siderable altitude, can see such a light
! practically as far az it will carry.
