WORKERS WARNED
OF OFFICE THEFTS
Col. Grant Cautions Government
Employees Not to Leave
Money Out.

So many thefts of the personal prop
erty of Government employees in public
buildings have occurred recently, that
lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of
the Office of public buildings and pub
lie parks, has issued an order asking the
cooperation of the employees in ferret
ing out those responsible, pointing out
that the guard force is handicapped by
the lack of clues.
He indicated to employees that the
number of thefts was on the increase,
and he said today that they are not
confined to any particular group OF
buildings, and added that persons leav-
ing money in clothing in cloak rooms,
lockers, unlocked desks or on desk tops
during lunch periods or when absent
from their rooms were usually the VIC
tins.
He said that a number of recent thefts
have occurred from persons who are in
the habit, after arriving at the office,
of leaving their pocketbooks on the tops
of their desks and then going to the
washrooms The same procedure, he
added, happens in many cases at about
4:30 in the evening.
While his Office, he says, is primarily
charged with the protection Of Govern
ment property, it is also DESTROYS of CO.
operating in the protection of personal
property of the occupants of the build
ings, but in order to make this effective,
1t is necessary that the cooperation OF
all concerned be secured by carefully
guarding pay envelopes, jewelry and
other belongings of value while in the
buildings. He asks that employees
promptly report all such thefts.

CHEMISTS PRODUCE.
| MILK SHOE BUCKLE.
C!ew Industry of Casein
PIastics Described to
American Society.
by the Associated Press.

sbY Inc ASSoClAbcu FTeSS.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, September IA.
THE shoe buckle that you wear may
sbe part product of cows milk.
This is one example of the work
done by chemical research to increase
national wealth, as described at the
annual meeting here of the American
Chemical Society, which held its bust
ness session today and adjourned.
The by-products of milk were de-
Scribed by DR.. G. E. Holm. head chem
ist Bureau of Dairy Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture. Dis
cussing research in caSein, the white
part of milk, he said:
"A new industry of caSein plaStics
has been developed in recent years. 1t
is used in many cases as substitutes for
horn, ivory. celluloid, ebony, pearl, am
Der and tortoise shells. Many Of the
staples and novelty articles, such as
beads, buckles, buttons combs. cigarette
holders, cuff links, dominoes, dice, toilet
articles. fountain pen barrels, penhold-
ers, pipeStems, and SO forth, now con-
tain casein products"
w. S. Hilpert of Chicago told how
the breakfast food industry found use
for husks formerly thrown away. The
chemists set out to solve this waste
with the idea that they might convert
husks into feed for cows. During the
experiments they discovered that they
could make farfural from the husks.
This is a valuable chemical solvent, and
proved sufficiently profitable to take
care of the husks without finding how
to convert them into feed.
Next Springs meeting Of the society
was announced for Columbus, Ohio, in
April, the Fall meeting at Minneapolis
In September. and the 1880 Spring
meeting at Atlanta in April. 1t was
voted to continue the Institute of
Chemistry for the next two years. This
institute met last Summer at North
western University, Evanston, Ill.

ENGINEER HURT

A freight car that got lost"
from Pennsylvania Railroad
freight train at the entrance to the
tunnel at Eleventh and NJ Streets
Southeast, early today caused
freak accident and the injury Of
the engineer of a Baltimore and

across the tracks.
In the crash that followed the
"buckling" when the Baltimore and
Ohio train came along, the latter
was wrecked.
J. l.. Brock. of Baltimore. engineer
of the wrecked train, was later
treated at Emergency Hospital for
scalds and cut on his head.
Fireman j. Fl. Tomke, of 2O1S

There was considerable mystery
concerning what had become of the
Pennsylvania engine that had been
pulling the freight car that caused
the accident, until it was discovered
later in Potomac Yards. Va. The
theory of railroad men is that the
car had been thrown" from the
train by sudden jolt
The Baltimore and Ohio train was

and a freight car directly behind
also suffered destruction. Several

CAR INSURANCE.
BILL PR0BED

Are Washington motorists going
to pay $3.S77,350 annually into the.
treasures Of certain insurance com
panies in order to confer finan-
cial benefit of s$64.s40 on the small
percentage of local motorists who
are financially irresponsible?
That is, the question raised Nv
members OF the Citizens Advisory
Council following the introduction
in the House of the Treadway bill
to provide compulsory liability In.
surance for this city.
Edwin s.. Hege. member Of the
council. has. made a study of the
bill and it's probable application to
the situation in the District of
Columbia
In 1927. MIR. Hege says, there
were issued 129 ,245 sets of tags for
motor vehicles which would come
under the provisions of the law.
The average premium per person
would be $50 or $3,877, $50 an
nually.
Last year there were seventy
seven persons killed by automobiles
here. OF these fifty-nine were
pedestrians. There were 1854 per-
sons who suffered minor injuries.
of whom LAB were pedestrians.
Under the provisions of the pro-
posed law the motorists would pay
$4,000 for each person killed, Or
1886. 900. For these in minor acct
cents. they would pay 500 each, or
$258, 400.
A survey here. Mr.. Hege has
found. shows that less than 10
per cent of those responsible for
motor accidents are financially
responsible. A fund of $64,340
would have to be set up to cover
this small percentage, under the
T,readway bill. The other 80 per
cent, Mr.. Hege points out, would
be assessed more than $4,000, 900
annually to protect the less than 10
Fer cent Of motorists, and their
victims. .

L. D. H. Weld, of the H. K. Nc

one problem of wholesalers is the

so many wholesalers in the field,
merchants feel that they can safely
