WASHINGTON WOMAN PHYSICIAN
GETS GERMAN MEDAL OF HONOR
Awarded Sofie A. Nordhoff-
lung for Distinguished Red
Cross Service.
Reward for Work in War
Transmitted by AmbaSSa-
dor Nathan.

For distinguished Red Cross services
rendered in Germany before the
United States entered the World War,
DIR. Sofie A. Nordhoff-Jung Washing
ton physician for more than 80 years,
has received a medal of honor from
the German government.
The medal was transmitted to DIR.
Nordhoff-J Jung yesterday by Baron
Nathan, the German Ambassador
with an accompanying diploma and
note of congratulations.
Born i'm Germany.
Although born in Germany, Dr.
Nordhoff- Jung has resided in Wash
ington since her girlhood. For the
last four years she has been on the
faculty of the Georgetown University
School of Mecidine as instructor in
gynecology and also has been attached
to the hospital staff.
When the World War broke out, DR..
Nordhoff Jung helped organize the
American Red Cross work in Ger
many and Bavaria. She established
an American hospital in Munich, Am.
bassador Gerard being president OF
it's board. This hospital was closed
month before the United States en-
tered the war in 1917.
She received her early education at
the then Columbian College in Wash
ington and later studied at the Pas
teur Institute in Paris. She was one
of the few American pupils of the
great French scientist. Then she took
courses at the Universities of Berlin
and Munich While at the former
she became the first woman ever to
engage in hospital work in Germany,
where the laws restricted their admis
sion to hospitals. This was in 1890.
Returns to Washington.
Returning to Washington after her
studies in Germany, DIR. Nordhoff-
Jung has been practicing here ever
since, except for brief intervals. She
has been a member of the District
Medical Society for more than 80
years.
For many years she has been in

OHIO SHUTDOWN FACED.
Union Mines Employing $4,000 Men
Are Involved.

CLEVELAND, March IL Rl-Fifty
thousand union coal miners in Ohio
faced a general shutdown of all union
mines in the state unless competi-
tive wage scale is adopted before April
i, when the present wage agreement
expires.
Following decision of the Ohio Coal
Operators Association at a meeting
in Columbus last night that the pres
ent wage scale made it impossible
for them to compete with mines in
non-union fields, and an announce
ment from indianapolis, headquarters
of the United Mine Workers, that no
wage agreement seemed possible, oper-
ators prepared to suspend mining in
their fields. About 400 companies are
included in the association.
The first step toward the shutdown
occurred in Belmont County yesterday
when the Rail and River Company
placed note in miners pay envelopes
saying that 'as no contract has yet
been agreed upon the mines of East
ern Ohio will cease to operate with
the close of the present month and
there will be another period of idle
ness for the mines and their employees"
About is, 900 men are employed in the
Eastern Ohio fields.

SOFT COAL STRIKE
!. HANGS IN BALANCE
Miners and Operators Near
ina Crucial Stage in Dead
i lock Over Wage Issue.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March IL
Apparently checkmated, both the
union miners and operators watch
each other across the checker board
az the central competitive bltumlnous
coal fields for the next move in an
economic game that will terminate on
April / either with a renewal OF con-
tract relations or a strike of workers.
while il has been stated failure to
ragotfate a contract would result in
fhe mine workers calling out only the
165 900 members Of the central held,
this is only tentative. The policy COM
mittee of the United Mine Workers,
meeting the latter part of this month,
NAV reaffirm that policy. or may vote
70 call out all of the 360,0 soft coal
workers in the 81 States and two Ca
madam provinces of the unions juris-
diction.
That districts outside the central
field have been authorized to make
separate temporary agreements with
operators is considered likely as a re-
suit of q report from Johnstown, Pa,
that negotiations along that line are
in effect in District No. 2. The Johns
town report said such an agreement
must continue present wages and must
terminate if a central field pact is
signed
The unions policy. should an agree
men not be reached before April l.,
will be determined at the policy COM
naittee meeting that will be held here,
Philadelphia or Washington, spokes-
man said.
Operators of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and western Pennsylvania-the central
field-are as reticent as the miners
regarding their plans after March 81.

MOSCOW, March 11.-George Plat
kov, unable to reach New York, where
he had been appointed managing
director of Amtorg, the Russian trad
ing bureau in America, has returned
to Moscow.
Piatkov, who was one of six lead

In December that the American State
Department was willing to grant him
a visa. When he arrived in Berlin
in January the visa was neither
granted nor definitely refused. After
waiting eight months Piatkov said
he intended remaining in Berlin an
other month, by which time he hoped
visa would be granted.
The Chase National Bank, the Rus
sian-American Chamber of Commerce
and other organizations interested in
soviety trade are urging the issuance
of a visa to Piatkov.

BARNEGAT JETTY

Efforts of the State of New Jer-
sey to save historic Barnegat Light
house from the inroads of the sea
not only have accomplished their
purpose but have conferred a
double benefit on yachting and fish
ing fleets by robbing Barnegat in
let of much of its old-time peril of
crossing the bar.
The great stone jetty. built in
front of the tower, has so diverted
the currents that the bay waters
have cut a new deep channel to the
sea, midway of the inlet, instead of
hugging the south shore, and the
government is now moving the
channel buoys to mark the new
route.
AS a result of the improved chan
mel, dozens of bay fishermen, who
have Heretofore hesitated to engage
in deep-sea fishing, are daily taking
anglers to the off-shore banks. The
new channel, boatmen declare, has
an average depth of 25 feet.
The stone jetty is within 100 feet
of completion, as the contract calls
for it's terminus at the old rock pile,
on the shore side of which the
tides had cut deep channel. Great
rocks, some eight to ten tons in
weight, have been dropped into the
channel as a base for the smaller
stones of the barrier. Because there
is no railway station nearer than
Beach Arlington, these must be
carted by giant trucks and much of
the gravel road between the two
points has been ruined by the loads.
frequently as heavy as twenty-tons.
The State Highway Commission, it
is understood, has agreed to aid the
township and county in repairing
this shore boulevard as soon as the
hauling work of contractors is
completed.
Sand is collecting rapidly around
the stone jetty and making several
acres of new beach. Timber jetties
on each side are further protecting
the point with it's historic tower,

Police and Firemen.

For sometime the police and fire
men of Ventnor have been agitating
a raise in salary At the present
rate it takes a member of either
force a period of five years to reach
the peak salary of $500 a year, The
new rate asked would start the first
year of service with that amount
and increase in four years to $1,000.
Captains and lieutenants, under
the OLD rate received $2173 and
1920, while under the new they
would receive $4,000 and $4,000.
A petition was drawn up by the
police and firemen, in which the
old rate and the rate asked for was
shown and was signed by over 20
per cent of the voters of Ventnor.
This petition was presented to coun-
Gil with the hope that the question
of the raise would be placed on the
ballot IN the general election in
November.
Council did not act on the mat
ter and it is now too late for the
raise to be placed on the ballot,
as it would have had to be in the
hands of the county clerk month
before the election.

BY HlLDA HUNT

It's wonderful what you can do to
improve your kitchen with wood,
nails, hammer and a few yards OF
print cloth. Maybe you can't do the
carpenter work yourself, but the re-
sult is well worth the price of a
really competent workman, even at
the high cost of labor. There are
always shelves to be put up. for
what kitchen ever had enough
shelves? And these shelves can be
made truly decorative as well as
necessarily useful.
l would call your attention to the
cluster of shelves in the upper left
corner of the sketch. Any skilled
carpenter could make them if you
show him the picture. Note the little
cupboards at either end, and the
colorful print background that has
been put on like wallpaper and
then shellacked. 1t brightens up
the kitchen a lot.
Or note the less elaborate shelf
in the upper right-hand corner You
could almost put that up yourself.
1t is so simple. Still it should be
done right SO it will stay up. So
maybe the carpenter had better do
the work here, too. A piece of board
across the back braces the shelf
and affords row of hooks on which
to hang kitchen utensils.
A very useful, as we'll as orna-
mental, small kitchen cabinet is
that sketched in the center of the
layout. In fact, this is ornamental
enough for your DINING living
room. The double rows of small
drawers afford plenty of room for
silver. small table linen and other
dining room accessories, while the

1t very much depends upon the

be kept in a dark place. There is
nothing better for cookies, for in
stance, than the old-fashioned
earthenware jar. The smaller jar
at the left is for jams or jellies.
The small closed jar at the right
is for butter. The open jar makes
very good receptacle for vege-
tables that should not be kept in
too dry place. and at the same
time should not be covered prior
to cooking.

depth of 800 feet, is triple cased,
an eight inch pipe being sunk the
entire depth, a Pinch pipe to a
125-foot depth and a 1O-inch pipe to
