CENSUS TO GROUP
WOMEN IN TRADES
Report Proposed Showing Eff.
fects of MeChanization in
Field of Industry.

Just how much effect mechanization
dustry, the extent to which the five
and one-half day week has been adopt
ed by industry and complete informa-
ton of migrations of industry are to be
learned in the 1880 census, 1t is an
nounced by the advisory committee OF
the census of manufactures.
The census of manufactures is one Of
the four extensions of the 1880 census
authorized by. Secretary of Commerce
Lamont and seeks for the first time
much data on manufactures and manu-
facturers in the United States.
Other Fields of Inquiry.
The other fields of the census will be,
first of all, population, then distribu-
ton and unemployment The advisory
committee on manufactures will act in
a capacity similar to the function Of
similar committees for the other
branches of the census.
Women in industry are to be studied
again to determine whether mechanical
ton has brought about shifts in the
character of workers required and
whether the changes have tended to
increase or decrease the number of
women in factories.
In seeking information about the
migration of industry, the committee
desires to trace the manner in which
the demand for skilled labor in various
sections of the country has been affect
ed by the changing manufacturing map.
Trend of Manufactures Studied.
It also hopes to receive an answer to
reports that a trend of manufacturing
away from established centers and from
large cities has been in progress.
Manufacturers also will be asked to
give data on the number of shifts per
day and the number Of hours of labor
per week, in addition to the usual ques-
lions about salaries. seasonal variations
in employment and the growing use of
power and power equipment.

Asks Injunction, Holding Build
ing Is Wanted for Another.
Alleging that the Government is seek
ing to GUST her as tenant of 153 a
street northeast, not because it wants
possession, but only to rent the prop
erty TO another person, Hildur I. E.
Malm today asked the District Supreme
Court for an injunction against Frank
A. Birgfeld of the Treasury Department
and Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary Of
the Treasury, to prevent the continu-
ance of the custer proceeding In the
Municipal Court. The property Is in
cluaed in the Supreme Court site re-
Gently acquired by the Government
through condemnation.
Through Attorneys Fred B. Rhodes
and Cooper B. Rhodes, the plaintiff tells
the court that Birgfeld is custodian of
the property acquired as a site for the
new building of the United States SUI
preme Court, and when she had sold
her property. she entered into negotia
tons with him to remain as tenant
until such time as the Government
would clear the site. The lease was pre-
pared, she states. and, while she has
been willing to sign, Birgfeld appeared
reluctant to do so and has begun custer
proceedings.
The court is asked to compel the sign
ing of the lease on the terms alleged
to have been arranged.

FLYER IN PARACHUTE
is SWEPT INTO TREE
Pvt. Alvord, in Attempting Drop
Is Caught in Cross-Current.
Lands Safely.

Caught by an unexpected cross-cur-
rent of air while making a parachute
drop at Congressional Airport, on the
Rockville pike, yesterday afternoon, Pvt.
william H. Alvord of Boiling Field was
swept into a tree on the edge of the
field and swung, unfnjured. six inches
above the ground while hundreds of
spectators hurried to aid him.
Alvord released himself from the har-
ness, dropped to the ground and re-
leased the parachute from the tree with
out injury to himself or the chute. AL
word jumped at an altitude of about
1000 feet from an airplane piloted by
Maj. Harry M. Horton, 4437 Klingle
street, wartime Army Air Corps pilot.
Maj. Horton said that the drop had
been gagged correctly on the basis of
the wind blowing when the plane took
off and that during the first part of the
drop Alvord was headed for the center
of the flying field. A shift in the wind
at the 500-foot level, however, carried
the parachute several hundred feet out
of line.
The jump was one of series of aero
nautical demonstrations which will be
given at Congressional Airport each
Sunday afternoon, weather permitting.

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875. the
needs for a laxative we're not as
great az they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives. ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty OF
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic physics
and purges for the relief Of constE
patton which DR.. Caldwell did not
believe were good for human beings
to put into their system. So he
wrote q prescription for q laxative
to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early In his practice.
and which he put in drug stores In
1892 under the name Of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, Is q liquid veg.
etable remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such q mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and IL now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact
that millions Of bottles are used a
year proves that It has won the
confidence Of people who needed It
to get relief from headaches. bill.
