committee of the Senate District

one Of the cruSading weapons

AntibIue LaIU Group
To AppeaL Decision

The Virginia Association op-
posed to the blue laws was prepar-
ing today to appeal the case of
c. B. Rosenberg. Arlington county
resident who was fined $5 yester-
day by Justice Harry j. Thomas
for painting his house on a Sun
day.
Justice Hugh McCaffrey, chair
man of the Virginia association,
who represented Rosenberg in
court yesterday, did not argue his
case but merely entered a plea of
not guilty. He will take the case
to the county circuit court where
he hopes to get a reversal.
Justice Thomas said that under
the law he had no choice but to
find Rosenberg guilty since he ad-
mitted the facts, namely that he
had painted his house and on
Sunday, too.

War; Navy Building Sites
Studied By Officials

The future sites OF the War and
Navy Departments were infor-
mally discussed at the meeting of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today.
The erection of two new Struc-
lures to house the military arms
of the Government has been
under consideration for some
time. The War Department
probably will vacate its present
headquarters west of the White
House within the next few years.
This historic building probably
will be given over entirely to the
State Department as soon as the
exterior remodeling proposed by
President Hoover is completed.
To Be DemolisheS
The present Navy Department
building encroaches on Potomac
Park south of B Street. between
Seventeenth and Nineteenth
Streets, and is slated for demol-
ition in connection with the de-
velopment of the Mall. Officials
are hopeful that new quarters for
the Navy can be provided within
the next five or seven years.

SPEEDY ACTIO
ON MEASURE
EXPECTED
Only Minor Points of Differ.
ence Remain After Acts
Passage by the Senate

The bill to transfer the Prohibi-
ton Bureau from the Treasury
to the Justice Department was
in conference today having
passed the Senate late yesterday
without opposition. The bill is
to go into effect July /.
Only minor details are to be
ironed out between the Senate
and House conferees to clarity
the measure and then it will be
accepted by both houses and go
to President Hoover.
One Point of Difference
One point of difference is the
Senate amendment establishing
an enforcement division in the
Treasury Department to care for
violations of industrial alcohol
permits. Under the transfer bill
the attorney general and the Sec
retary of the Treasury have dual
authority in the issuing of these
permits. 1t also protects civil
service employees during the
transfer.
The Senate, to strengthen
existing law, included an amend
ment giving prohibition enforce
ment officers the power to make
seizures and arrests for violations
discovered during the courses of
an investigation. This is already
in the law but the Senate be-
lieved it was not clear.
To Get Seized Vehicles
Seized automobiles and boats
under the prohibition act may be
turned over to the Department
of Justice to use in the enforce
ment of prohibition under two
Senate amendments. Heretofore
such vessels and vehicles were
turned over to the Treasury De
partment.
Attorneys of the present Prohi-
bition Bureau will not be under
Civil Service in the Department
of Justice, allowing the Attorney
General to pick his own assistants
to t,y prohibition cases and be
allowed to appoint and discharge
them at will.

ARE LAID
FOR CHEAPER:
Gas HERE
Natural Product, Piped From
West Virginia, Thought to
Cut Cost at Least Quarter

Seventy-five cent gas in Wash
ington is q possibility in the
near future, If natural gas is
brought to Washington, it is
estimated by experts. This would
be a Is per cent saving over
the present rate of 81 per 1000
cubic feet.
The Columbia Gas and Electric
Company which has developed
gas fields in West Virginia. Ohio
and Kentucky, is negotiating
with George A. G. Wood, the
new president of the Washington
Gas Light Company. Wood
stated that expansion of the
company will call for a much
greater volume of gas than the
present plant can produce. He
is considering all types of gas,
including natural gas, producer
gas, biproduct gas and water
gas, the latter kind being that
now in use here.
1t is probable that the choice
lies between natural gas and BIZ
product gas. Wood said that
the choice is purely a matter of
which variety can be obtained
cheapest in order to make the
lowest gas rate possible for the
consumer.
Pipe Already Laid
The Columbia Gas and Electric
Company is known to be very
anxious to bring natural gas to
Washington and they already
have pipe laid as far as Cumber.
land, Md, which is only 100 miles
from here. There are several
other routes that natural gas
might be brought to the
District.
One is by laying a direct line,
approximately 180 miles long, from
the fields in West Virginia to
Washington, or the fuel might be
brought down from Philadelphia,
via Baltimore. The Columbia Gas
and Electric Company recently ac-
quired two old oil lines, one lead
ing from the fields to Philadelphia
and the other to New Jersey, just
outside of New York. These are
only eight-inch pipes, however,
whereas the newest gas pipe lines
are about % inches, allowing a
much larger flow.
Adequate supply is one of the
difficulties. Out west there arc
gas wells that run 100000, 900 Gu
bic feet and more a day but 1000,
600 cubic feet is considered large
in West Virginia. On the other
hand there are great many of
the small wells in the east.
Supply is Adequate.
G. r. Hopkins, expert of the u.
S. Bureau Of Mines, said that the
supply in that vicinity is quite ade-
quate to take care of Washington.
He explained that natural gas,
because it has almost twice the
heating qualities of water gas, is
about half as expensive. It is
probable that the natural gas on
arrival at Washington would be
diluted with water gas because
more complete utilization can be
obtained that way.
The gas after it comes out of
the wells is pumped under pres
sure into the pipes, Hopkins said.
Every so or rs miles another COM
pressor station is situated to raise
the pressure in the pipe line. The
chief expense, however, he pointed
out. is the laying of the pipe.
The average gas rate in Ohio for
1928 where natural gas is used,
was SO cents. Cleveland, which is
a little farther away from the
fields than Washington, has a
rate of about rs cents.

A New York fashion expert has just
made a wonderful discovery. Realizing
the expense of constantly buying silk
hose and undergarments. she learned
that with Precipitation comes an oily
excretion from the sebaceous glands
that causes silks to rot.
Soap and water she found. were really
inadequate. Only solvent like Ener-
CINE could cut this film Of OIL.
So when next washing SILK hose or
dainty undergarments, add a table,
spoonful of ERergine to every quart Of
lukewarm, soapy water. Wash thor
oughly-rinse well. Note the new clean
illness, the pleasing freshDess-see how
the original color is revived so easily
so quickly and with less rubbing.
After washing silk apparel by this new
method, you'll be amazed at the diff
ference in results from washing in just
soap and water alone.
And when you see how many more
