McCandlish.
Methods of interesting patients
in the toy industry as outlined by
the newly appointed director has
done much in the past year to
strengthen shocked minds, accord
ing to officials Of the bureau. Con
Siderable interest is being shown
in developing the industry in other
centers.
According to McCandlish, the
process OF gaining results is a
slow one. Patients undergoing the
training are interested in the small.
est of the toys. The interest is
developed until the patient is cap
able Of making the toys.
In many cases the shocked
soldier plays with his newly man
ufactured article several weeks be-
fore McCandlish is able to arouse
more complicated mechanism.
SIXTY TOYS BRING CURE.
In the course of a year, a
susceptible patient completes the
sixty articles beginning with small
Clipped block toys to articles taking
a considerable amount of care. The
higher type of articles consist of
small houses, ships and toys of a
mechanical nature.
BY the time a patient has COM
pleted the sixty types, his mind has
considerably improved and in many
cases he has been cured of his
mental illness.
There are S75 soldier patients
taking the. training at the Wash.
ington hospital. In many cases,
according to McCandlish, patients
become irritated while at work and
If not guarded closely would bat
ter up the articles or play havoc
with the shop. Care is taken to
give the patients a variety of work.
thus eliminating probability of
WEAKNESS, which according to Nc.
Candlish quickly irritates the psy-
copathic mind.
MANY IN HIGHER CLASSES.
The new director is q former
service man, having been in numer-
Gus engagements with the FiftL
Regiment, United States Marine
Corps, during the world war.
Other Industrial work, including
furniture manufacturing, basker
making, rug weaving, chair repair
ing, typewriting, stenography, &C
ademicS and commercial work, Is
given the patients by the Veter-
ans Bureau.
The articles made are sold at
public sale for about 20 per cent
more than the value of the mate
rial. The money is turned into the
United States Treasury.
ii. H. Durham, in charge of
the carpenter shop, has instructed
a aIIu1har of fornoar aoV~Uice mem

articles.
The poultry farm, directed by
Daniel OFlaherty, and run by the
Veterans Bureau, now comprises
more than 1000 chickens. A patient

'PEPCO HEARING
DATE SOUGHT.
IN COURT
Fight to Regain 100000
For Citizens Likely to Be
Started ON Friday.

The Public Utilities Commission
plans to call for a show down in
the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany valuation case which involves
an impounded fund of 100000.
Counsel for the commission will
on Friday petition Chief Justice
Walter l. Mccoy, of the District
Supreme Court, to fix a date for
hearing on the case to place a
valuation on the electric company's
property.
The Commissioners counsel will
argue to the court that the valua-
ton case is before the Supreme
Court at this time under the man
date of the District Court of APP
peals. They will contend that un-
der this mandate the court is di-
rected to fix the correct valuation
of the property of this company.
This action on the part of Frank
H. Stephens and Conrad H. Syme,
representing the commission, is an
attempt to bring the matter imme-
diately before the court to bring
about an early settlement of the
valuation case.

Aimed at Sergeant McQuade
BY Ex-PoIiceman.

With a pistol held to his head
early today, Sergt. McQuade nar-
rowly escaped death during raid
on the home of Paul Tomardi.
thirty-one years old, 365 NJ street

The vice squad was informed that

pared for action. Tomrdi is an ex-
motorcycle policeman of the sub
station at Tenleytown.
Lieut.. o. r. Davis, in charge Of
the squad, knocked on Tomardis
door about o'clock this morning
and informed him they were police
men and that they. wanted to
search his house. In a flash
Tomardi extracted pistol from q
holster and threatened death to
any one who would enter. Davis
saw McQuade's predicament and
leaped at TORNADO, knocking the
weapon from his hand. When
searched Tomardi was found to
have another pistol in his posses
sion.
Al search Of the house revealed two
gallons of alcohol concealed in one
of the rooms and two quarts OF gin
in the parlor. Police say that To-
nardi's wife was attempting to
empty the gin containers.

mardi was charged with selling and

Colonel Keller's Decision to Re-
" sign or Return to Post Is
| Now Awaited.

The appointment of an engineer
commissioner to succeed Col.
Charles Keller, who plans to re-
sign, will be delayed until June
Is, it was said today.
On this date Colonel Keller's
two months leave of absence will
expire. The colonel will then
send in his resignation. or return
to his post.
Talk of His Return.
There was some talk in the Dis
trict Building today that Colonel
Keller did not especially like his
new post with a large water power
development corporation in the West
and was planning to return to his
Job in Washington.
In the meantime, Major F.. s.
Besson. assistant engineer commits
sioner, is acting as Commissioner.
Shortly before Colonel Keller left
the city, Gen. Lansing H. Beach,
chief of engineers, in conference,
told him that he could take two
months leave of absence and could
at the, end of this time resume his
army work if he so desired.
Has Two Months ito Decide.
s, General Beach told Colonel Keller
that he could spend this two months
in deciding whether he. wanted to
permanently associate himself with
this private enterprise or return to
the army.
Several army officers are known
to- be, tentatively selected for the
post here in the event Colonel Keller
does not return.
The transfer of Major Besson in
July to the army service school at
Fort Leavenworth, Kan, will leave
another vacancy in the District serv.
ice.
This vacancy, it is said. may
be filled by Major. Raymond A.
Wheeler, another assistant engineer
commissioners. Major Wheeler's post
probably, will then be taken over by
Capt. John Wood, another assistant
engineer commissioner. This will
necessitate the appointment of an
other army. officer to take over
Captain Woods work.

MAKING TESTS
ABSORBING
Forty Sittings Daily Planned
For Contests-To Make
Selections Tuesday.


In an effort to speed up the Cleo.
patra contest, so that the final Sc
Iections may be made early next
week, forty sittings a day have been
arranged at Bachrach's studio, the
official photogra piers, for the re-
mainder of this week and for Mon
day.
With nearly 800 of the 1,011 en-.
trants still to be photographed, the
process of conducting the elimina-
ton has become increasingly diff
cult. Only the most general sort
OF an elimination can be made until
all the photographs are in hand.
It is hoped that by Tuesday morn
ing all of the pictures may be in
hand and that elimination Of at least
500 may have been completed. Then
the process of narrowing down the
field to the final forty or fifty girls
who will be called upon to appear
in person before the judges will be
pushed forward rapidly.
Owing to the necessity of making
a number of resittings the work has
been slowed down considerably.
During the remainder of the week
every effort will be made to have
contestant in the studio during
every minute of the day. so that
there may be no lost time in waiting
for contestants. For this reason
sittings have been in some cases
doubled in the morning to compen-
safe for unavoidable delays.
A special staff has been assigned
to the work Of making and handling
the photogra phs and the order has
been given to speed up the work
all along the line.
