been determined, according to an an
nouncement last night by Dr. Thomas
E. Green. chairman of the campaign
control committee.
Because of the ramifications of the
limited chain system of subscriptions
we have adopted for appeal" said DR..
Green, lit is not possible to state with
exactitude just how near we have
come to our mark. 1t naturally takes
some time to complete even one link
OF the chain and our workers and
committees have expressed a reluc-
tance to make definite reports until
they have had opportunity to talk
with all possible contributors on their
ilst. From the spirit in which they
nave gone about their work and the
indicated responses of the people of
the capital. am sure that the people
or the city are eagerly interested in
helping to insure an early start of
building the memorial. l think Wash
ingtonians realize the value to their
city OF this unique institution and
have shown a willingness and readi-
ness to help in its establishment

TO reach every person in the city who
would be willing to give to our fund,
but those who may wish to contribute
may send their subscriptions to the

THREE DEALERS ACCUSED
OF ILLEGAL MEASURING

Three Louisiana avenue dealers
have been ordered to appear in Police
Court tomorrow morning and answer
charges of having sold fruits and
vegetables in violation of law, George
NJ. Roberts. superintendent of weights
and measures, announced last night.
Inspector w. c. Diller made pur-
.chases from each of the three stands.
Tt is alleged that such products as
peaches and tomatoes were being
sold in strawberry boxes. when the
law requires that such sales must be
made by weight or numerical count
This marks the opening of drive
by Mr.. Roberts to protect housewives
during the summer months against
similar violations of the new weight
and measure law
The weight and measure office
pointed out yesterday that such conf
modities as peaches, apples, pears and
tomatoes cannot be sold in small con-.
tainers, such as strawberry boxes. but
must be handled by the pound or by

But it was later proven that she had
taken this step so that she might

other excuse. because of the kind
way in which she had been treated.
1t took up hours Of valuable police
time to straighten this quirk out.
Elderly Woman Gagged.
Then there was a case. the motive
OF which was mystery. An elderly
woman was found gagged and bound.
the rear kitchen window smashed.
and she reported that a negro had
entered the house and taken $3.50 in
savings. The savings, were found in
a jardiniere in the parior later. What
nrSt aroused the suspicion of the
police, however. was the discovery OF
Fred Sandberg. fingerprint expert,
that small pieces of glass from the
window. evidently pulled from the
putty, bore distinctly the woman's
hngerprints. Her prints had been
obtained after the discovery of the
small prints on the panes Of glass,
indicating that it had been removed
by no large person.
Why she did this remained a
mystery, but the police had no
alternative, but to work on the case
until 1t was finally clear in their
minds.
Here's another one. A chap was
found bound to tree some time ago,
with handkerchief gagging his
mouth. He told his story He said
that he had been approached and
robbed by footpad. who used his
own handkerchief to gag him. The

plans having been completed by the
constr uction service of the quarter
master generals office for the building.
and bids are to be opened on June rs.
The school is at present located in
rented buildings at 462-466 Louisiana
avenue. where it is said to be in
adequately housed" but. according
to present prospects. it may be moved
into its new home within a year.
The building is the initial step in
the plan for great medical center,
to include the hospital, the medical
school, the Army Medical Museum
modern buildings, harmonious in
architecture and adapted to the ideal
of a great government scientific in
stitution. Congress has appropriat-
ed half million dollars for the
school.
Commanding Position
The building is to have a command
ing position facing south on knoll
now occupied by temporary wards,
Immediately between the main hos
pital building and l4th street ex-
tended. with an approach from 14th
street.
The structure has been designed in
the Georgian style of architecture,
thoroughly freproof, with reinforced
concrete columns and floors and brick
walls with limestone trimmings, thus
harmoniZing with the permanent
buildings of the post.
The first part to be erected, for
,txr1~ h n
bids invited. will be the south wing,
256 feet long and so feet deep. three
stories and basement, except in the
central portion, which will be four
stories high.
North and South Entrances.
The main entrance to the building
will be through the north and south
facades, opening into a central lobby,
from which corridors will extend
both east and west. Another en-
trance will be at the east end of the
building, facing the present hospital
group of buildings, while the service
entrance will be at the west and
through the basement.
While the interior will be finished
with the best of materials. Army Off
ciafs announce. it will be of simple
design, special study having been
given to meeting the practical re-
quirements of the various depart
mentS of the school. A well lighted
basement will furnish ample space
for mechanical equipment storage
and other facilities The first floor
will be occupied by the administra- :
ton offices and the X-ray department.
The vaccine department will occupy
approximately one-half of the second
floor, the remaining space being taken
up with special laboratories and
offices. Bacteriological and chemica
laboratories will occupy the entire
third floor, the fourth floor of the
central portion being divided into
animal observation, operating and
isolation rooms.

Plans for furnishing persons max
ing false reports of crime and as
saults to the police department, and
the placement of this. class of takers
In the same category with those who
sound false alarms for fire are being
considered by Commissioner Oyster
and police department oi1cials. The
increasing number of false reports to
the police during the past few months
Is said to be due to persons desiring
to furnish themselves Win alibis on
account of the loss of money and for
other reasons. 1t is believed that
there Is no law or regulation which
Is sufficiently stringent to cope with
the situation
Time and time again detectives
have been assigned to what at first
appears legitimate case, only to
ind that the supposed victim was
imposing upon them, Inspector Grant
said yesterday. He expressed himself
in favor of penitentiary sentence
and heavy fine.
Admits False Report.
Only during the past week a report
came in during the early morning
hours that a man had been chloro-
formed and robbed by thugs with
pistols. The attention of four detec-
tiveS was given the case. When the
report came in the two men on night

tective SeTgts. Fowler and Flaherty
investigated. In the end the maker
of the report signed a confession
that his report was false. 1t is be-
lieved by the police that he was in
toXicated and had lost some checks
and bank book while in that condi-
ton, and in order to make his fault
less apparent he reported the chloro-
form story to the police.
There are scores of cases. many of
them forming good detective novel
plots, along the same lines.

DEBT DUE FROM ITALy Y

Award of s291,000 to the Italian
government for chipping loss
sustained In 191S, provided the
Secretary OF the Treasury be per-
nitted to credit that amount
against Italy's war debt to the
United States, was recommended
to Congress yesterday by the Navy
Department.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt of
the Navy in letter to Speaker
Gillett said the report Of court
of inquiry showed that the United
States government was liable for
the loss of copper consigned to the
italian government, which was
lost when barge was sunk in
collision with the transport Bu-
ford off the New Jersey coast.
There was nothing in the letter
to indicate whether the govern
ment had decided on any policy
with respect to crediting such
sums due foreign governments
against the war debts of those
governments. and officials avail
ahle would not discuss the mat
ter.

The Cjtv Beautiful,

We can't have too many pretty
towns or too many pretty homes In
town and country. Progress along
this line is being made annually and
with increasing interest among pro-
gressive town builders and home own
srs. There IS no use for shabbiness
Shabbiness connotes Incidence and in
difference. A house or Q town which
indicates careless occupants, citizens
concerned only for primitive necessi-
ties, is not one to attract the sort Of
people that energetic people want to
know. Poverty is no excuse for shah
biness. The humblest dwelling does
not need to be shabby. Shabbiness is
carelessness, not 1imsiness. Many a
fiimsy little cottage or cabin exhibits
a quality that is far superior to shah
biness. 1t is the careless, untenanted,
d~ilapldated, a%pathetic look to a mans
home, q mans town, or q mans CLOTH
ing that gives 1t shabbiness. One
needn't be shabby in overalls any
more than in a tailor-made suit.-Dal-
