Perils in Drinking Cup Evoke
Warning from U. S.

With a million sufferers in the
United States every day from respira.
tory diseases which may be spread by
the common drinking cup or glass, the
public-health service recently issued
a special warning to beware putting
the lips to a container which someone
else has used, unless it has first been
well sterilized.
All but two of the states have passed
laws banishing community use of
drinking vessels, and they have been
forbidden for several years on trains
and steamers in interstate commerce,
but in spite of this fact, many people,
the government says, defeat the law
by failing to insist on its enforcement.
Some cities, the bulletin states, have
passed ordinances forbidding the use
of glasses at soda fountains, but in
others, the receptacles are rinsed again
and again in the same water until the
wash itself becomes more dangerous
than the used glass. Citing the Ohio
laws as an excellent example of good
sanitation, the public health service
points out that they provide a soda
fountain glass or other publicly used
container must, after each use, be first
washed in cold water, then in hot
water with soap or suitable cleansing
powder, or exposed to live steam,
boiling water or hot air for not less
than five minutes, then rinsed in clear
cold water and drained. If hot air is
used to kill the germs, the law pro-
vides the temperature must not be
less than 260 degrees. Heat is about
The best sterilizer known, and boiling
water will kill most germs within five
minutes.
Motor tourists should provide sepa-
ate drinking cups for each member
If the party, the health service adds,
ind care should be taken to keep

COLLECT $157,991 FROM GAS
Delaware Makes A Good Showing
Despite Her Small Area

Delaware, in spite of her small
area, collected $157 ,291 on a gasO-
line tax of two cents during the first
six months of 1925, according to a
survey of revenues derived from
gasoline taxes just issued by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. This
survey states that gasoline taxes are
now imposed in all but four states,
and the total revenue collected from
this source in the first six months
of 1925 amounted to $60,108,734.
At the beginning of the year there
were Is states which did not tax
gasoline. At the present time a tax
is imposed in all states except Illi-
nois, Massachusetts, New Jersey and
New York.
The largest revenue derived in
the six months period from a gasO-
line tax was in Pennsylvania, which
collected ,$4,657,752.
The highest tax imposed was five
cents per gallon, and the lowest one
cent, which prevails in several
states.

 ASKED TO DOPE OUT
 PECULIAR MYSTERY
CHOOSES LAIR ON MARATHON ONLY TO FIND RAvINGS
 OF WOOFUS BIRD
RELATED TO kLUANE GEESE
Just Got Glimpse of Rare King of the Air As It Fluttered
 Thru the Ether.

Ever see a woofus bird, one of the strangest species of the Goose tribe? Neither have we, but
 Upon receiving a kindly" tip that mysterious activities were going on in the vicinity of Marathon noun tain, in the bright and early hours of the morn, Chief of Police Martin
 Lanning took occasion to lay out in the damp woods early this morning, hoping to solve the riddle which has created more or less inquisitiveness on the part of certain citizens, the past week.
 AS the shades of dawn slowing be- gan to raise this am, slight crack ing of underbrush startled Chief Lan- ming to wakefulness and cause goose pimples to crop out at the lower ex- tremnities of his anatomy. Rising on one knee, with every faculty alert, Martin peered from out his position behind a rock but alas and alack, could not discern the solitary fig ure making goo-goo eyes at him. Af- ter sinking slowly and cautiously back to a reclining position he was suddenly startled to hear the haunt ing, plaintiff cry of the woofus bird, which is a rare Alaska bird, accord ing to scientists, which flies back wards and lays square eggs. They are kin to the Klhuane geese, that also fly backwards to keep the sand out of their eyes so they can hold their bearings. Jumping to his feet with great dexterity, Lann,ng was just in time to catch a glimpse of Ed. Engstrom and Harry Bowers, on their regular morning hike and climb of the mountain made famous by the Marathon runners on tna late Fourth of July The barbers came to a halt at Martins brisk command, but could not enlighten the chief as to whether they had noticel any ir- regularities of the country. They replied negatively, so Martin went home disgusted

CASSIAR DISAPP0NTS
 OLD ALASKAN MINERS

The Cassiar is a poor place to be in, according to Dick Wells, passen- ger on the Northwestern to Seward, from Wrangell. MT. Wells just came out from Telegraph Creek, where he was sorely disappointed at the showing there. He said four other men came to Cordova on the steamer and intend to go to Kenne- colt after losing out in the Cassiar. MT. Wells is going to try the oil game this time to the westward.
 Most of the fellows in the Cas- siar were old sourdoughs," he de- clared, "and they couldn't afford the financial setback. A lot of them never saw any gold. One outfit spent three months in there and banned $1.15 in that time.
 MT. Wells has travelled up and down the continent following the stampedes. He was in Alaska in 1896, '97, ,9S and again at Valdez in 1917. His last venture was in Sonora, Mexico, in the summer of 1924, but he said the rebels were making things too hot for comfort and he left

(P-Wireless transmission of mes sages has so developed in Sweden that the governments station at Grimeton now sends about 95 per cent of all telegrams from Sweden to the United States. The receiving station, on the other hand, gets only about 40 per cent of the telegrams coming from the United States. In order to meet the new competition the cable companies have reduced their prewar rates.

CAPITAL MAN MISSING
FOR MORE THAN YEAR
Police Still Without Clue as to
Whereabouts of Charles Drei-
belbies, Long Absent.

Police and detectives of the District
of Columbia have been unsuccessful
in their search for clue to the
whereabouts of Warren II. Dreibelbies,
who, without explanation or apparent
cause, disappeared shortly after leav-
ing his place of employment, Novem-
ber 3, 1928.
According to his wife, Mrs. Hazel
Dreibelbies of 22S Randolph place
northeast, Dreibelbies was in normal
health and had no financial worries.
He left for work the morning of No
vember 3 and worked through the
day. His employers said that no un-
usual signs We're noticed about him.
Failing to return home that night, his
wife instituted search for him that
revealed no traces of his where
abouts.
Dreibelbies' record shows nothing
that would give reason for the dis
appearance, and it is believed that he
might have been sufferer from
aphasia. He has one child 13 years old

ness, it helps a great industry to save
millions of dollars or the most ad-
vantageous location for chain of
factories, thereby reducing the cost of
the manufactured articles to the con-
sumner and bringing the factory to
that particular location where there
are people needing employment.
All of this work is headed up under
men of veteran experience, who have
helped to develop the system to meet
the growing needs of the country
William NJ. Steuart, director of the
census, came up from the ranks,
growing into his present position
just as the country grew in area,
population and industrial develop
ment. He first entered this work in
1880. If the census were to be taken
now with the staff and machinery
employed then it would take more
than quarter of a century to com
plete the job. DR.. Joseph A. Hill, the
assistant director, has been on the
job of counting Uncle Sans rapidly
increasing family for more than a

CHICAGO, February 2S.-A teacher
whose career was suddenly inter-
rupted bye blindness is now directing
what is believed here to be among
the first free correspondence schools
for the adult blind. He is William A.
Hadley of Winnetka, suburb. The
school is maintained by Mr.. Hadley's
friends at no expense to the students.

my sight back and my work. he re-
marked to one of his friends, Il

Mr.. Hadley was long active in edu
cation in Chicago. For five years he
sat in darkness and thought, his
mind revolving about statistics re-
porting that 80 per cent of the blind
become sightless after maturity.
There were, he understood. no educa
tional facilities meeting their needs
A three-Iine advertisement Offering
to teach by correspondence, on a
Braille typewriter. any course that
might be desired by a blind person,
brought an avalanche of requests.

MEETINGS TO REPORT
BOY SCOUTS DRIVE
Progress of $50, 900 Campaign to be
Made at Daily Luncheons
Beginning March IL.

Daily luncheons will be held during
campaign to raise 100000 for the
District of Columbia Boy Scouts, be-
ginning Friday. March -, at noon,
at the Franklin Square Hotel
The meetings will be held to discuss
the progress of the drive to obtain
the two years fund and will be at
tended by captains and lieutenants of
teams.
The $50, 900 sought for a two-year
budget for the Washington Scouts
will meet the needs of 5000 boys,
1900 more than the present member
ship. Leaders of the organization be-
lieve that contributors would rather
give double their subscriptions at one
time, than have the total of pay
ments spread over two years.
Back of the campaign are $50 rep
resentative men of Washington who
will give their time in an EFFORT TO
raise the 100000 Chief among them
is Huston Thompson, chairman OF the
Federal Trade Commission, who will
direct the campaign. l.. N Sneed'
president of the local Boy Scout Coun-
Gil, also will be among the active
workers.
IF there be one unforgivable social
crime it Is the neglect of youth" de-
clared Mr.. Thompson, in a statement
made public yesterday.
The Boy Scout movement was
formed to obviate this crime. Its
business is to provide opportunities
otherwise denied the average boy.
1t believes that prevention is
cheaper than cure. To the pubic,
scout laws and activities represent an
invaluable form of social insurance.
In the interest of law and order-to
safeguard the future of our city, the
remaining 10000 Washington eligible
boys should be afforded scout
training.
