ID PRECINCT IS
SLATED TO Be
MOTORIZED
Tomorrow Marks Shift Of All
Foot Patrols to New Autos
As Measure for Efficiency

The entire personnel of the Sec
ond precinct win be motorized
tomorrow morning following a
plan recently suggested by Maj.
Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, District
Commissioner, according to a gen.
eral order issued today by Major
Henry q. Pratt, superintendent Of
police.
In the same order motorcycle
police, now detailed to the pre-
cincts, will be brought directly un-
der Inspector Ernest w. Brown,
in charge Of the Traffic Bureau.
No Police Dropped
Departure from foot patrols in
the Second precinct will not
eliminate any members Of the
force but win result in more thor
ough patrolling Of that precinct,
according to Major Pratt.
The station house details, inSo-
far as office men are concerned,
will remain unchanged.
Eighteel4 additional automobiles,
which have q distinctive bright
blue color and insignia, viii be put
into service.
Autos Save Time
MOtorizing the Second precinct
is the first step toward changing
over the entire Metropolitan Po-
lice Department. II the plan
works out successfully, as it is be-
lieved it will, all precincts will go
from the foot patrol to automo-
bileS.
Through such q plan Pratt be-
leves that more efficient policing
of the city will result. as patrol
men will be able to cover their
beats several times more fire.
quently in automobiles than would
be possible on foot.
The changes will affect n men,
bers Of the force.

dered September, $780,"
Had Long History
Back in November, 1928, the late
DR.. Frederick e. harrington ap-
piled. as head of the school, for
a gallon Of alcohol to be used in
experimental purposes in the bio
logical laboratory. He was granted
a permit No. 1921 and purchased
the alcohol on December IL, 1928.
In the summer Of 1929 w. H.
Pohler, then acting administrator
of the Prohibition Service in Bal
timore, informed DR.. Earring
ton that he must apply for a re-
newal Of his permit. On August
9 of that year, DR.. harrington
wrote Pohler saying that he
could see no reason for renewal
Of the permit as he had sufficient
alcohol left for his purposes.
Pohler replied, that, II no re-
newal was asked, DR.. Earring
ton must continue the monthly
reports. Two months ago Ms.
Harrington informed Stone that
she was too busy to make the
monthly reports. On August %
Stone replied that If she desired
to destroy the alcohol a represen-
tative of his office would be sent
to the school to witness the de
Struction of the .695 gallon Of al
cohol and procure from Mrs. Far
rington the permit 1421.

Fire7,,en Find Still
On Call to Blaze

F'irenaen Of the Falls Church
Volunteer Department, answering
. cali in the vicinity Of Bailey
Cross Roads yesterday afternoon
reported finding in operation q
fifteen-ga1lon still, a quantity Of
corn mash and liquor together
with q srA0ldering keg nearby.
An anonymous call to the fire
station sent the. firemen to the
scene Of the fire, a small brush
fire In the fields near the historic
cross roads. The still and equip
ment was in the vicinity and it Is
thought possible that the brush
fire emanated from the still.
The Washington times., 1930-09-01

This is a story of alcohol and
bugs. The bugs in question are
at the Chevy Chase School, 640o
block of Connecticut Ave. N. w.,
and need the alcohol very much
SO that they may be preserved
for scientific purposes.
The story tells that the bugs
won't get the alcohol because,
according to Mrs. Frederick E.
Harrington, head Of the school,
the alcohol is to be "judicially
murdered" because Of "prohibi-
tion red tape" She said she has
but .695 of a gallon Of the pre-
serving fluid left and she insists
that it be murdered" with due
ceremony on the school grounds
and that a large group Of
mournerS be present to witness
the execution and burial.

TO ACT
ONEV|DENCE
BY DOCTOR
Witnesses Called to Hearing
/ Before Grand Jury, Which
Is Scheduled for Tomorrow

A dual investigation. the out
growth of developments during the
past week, will be commenced by
the Grand Jury tomorrow when
witnesses will appear to testify
concerning alleged bond rackets
and graft charges against Police
man s. F. Gravely.
The investigation into the al.
legged bonding racket is a precipi-
tate affair. Earlier in the week,
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover informed Milton s. Kron,
helm that he would not order .
grand Jury quiz unless concrete in.
formation was laid before him.
Kronheim had gone to Rover
on behalf of the Professional
BondSmen's Association, of which
he Is president, to demand an In
vestigation Of the bonding Situar
ton, that professional bondsmen
might be vindicated Of the charges
recently made against them by in
nuendo, or. If any of the bonds
men should be found engaging in
corrupt practices, that an indict-
ment be brought against them.
Offered Evidence
Rover later received a letter
from DR.. James r. Armstrong, Of
the Montgomery Apartments, stat.
ing that he would like to give evi.
dence concerning q collusion be.
tween police and bondSmen,
whereupon Rover summoned DR..
Armstrong to appear before the
Grand jury tomorrow.
The other investigation of
Gravely results from his recent ar.
rest of Elizabeth G. Campbell and
her accusation in Police Court that
she had paid Gravely so much
money for protection that she was
unable to make a living. The
young woman was charg-1 before
a police court jury on two counts
OF assault, one Of striking Gravely
when he arrested her and the
other Of striking a policewoman at
the House Of Detention.
Said She Paid $50
She was found not guilty of
the Gravely assault and guilty
of striking the policewoman. Ac-
cording to the woman's state.
ment, she had known the police
man for a long time and had
paid him as much as $50 for
protection" at D. time. Later
she went to Florida and when
she returned Gravely still pur.
sued her demanding money for
immunity from arrest. At the
time Of her last arrest by Gravely,
she declared that he intercepted
her as she was entering her
mothers home.
Gravely has denied the woman's
charges and declared he was fol-
lowing instructions of Assistant
District Attorney Fitzpatrick in
arresting women who asked him
to accompany them to their
apartments. However. the as
Sault charge and disorderly con-
duct charge were the only ones
placed against the young woman
at the time of her arrest.

GOOD COOK
FOR TYPICAL
GIRL HONOR
National Rifle Association
Enters Miss Ethel Dwyer
for Times Trip to Paris

Should the Typical Washington
Girl be q good cook and house.
worker?
II so, employees Of the National
Rifle Association, Barr Building,
think they have her In the per.
SON Of Miss Ethel iDwyer, Of 813
Taylor st. N. W., whom they
have placed in nomination for
the honor.
Miss Dwyer, who is "a years
old, has been employed by the
association for three years. She
is fond Of swimming and other
outdoor activities and is an ex-
ceptionally good dancer. She Is
a high school graduate and is
fond Of good literature.
Lures Of Paris
Miss Dwyer has plenty Of
strong opposition, though. From
every. branch Of the business
world come candidates for the
honor of being named the Typical
Washington Girl and winning a
free trip to Paris as the guest
Of The washington Times end
Gloria Swanson, famous screen
star.
The fortunate girl will sail
from New York on December IL.
She will find Paris especially al
Turing at that time. As she stands
with her back toward thu Arc de
Triomphe, on the Place de la
Concorde near the entrance to
the Champs -Elysees, she will be
able to view to the eastward the
lovely Tuileries Gardens, to the
southwark the silent Seine, and
to the north the Madeleine UP to
the Rue Royale.
From the Tuileries the Typical
Washington Girl can begin a
charming trip to the well known
points of interest-the Place Ven-
dome, the BaStille, the Hotel de
Vile, the Rue de'la Prix, the Pan
theon, the PalaiS du Luxembourg,
the Bois de Boulogne, Eiffel
Tower, the Bourse, the CaTna-
valet Museum, the Sacre Occur,
the Eglise Saint Germain and the
Trocadero. @
Notorious BastilIe
Place Vendome was constructed
in 1906 from guns captured from
the Germans and AuStrians by
Napoleon and its baS-relief de-
picts the vitories of Napoleon.
The Bastille was erected as a
state prison by Charles v. Its
capture and destruction by the
populace in 1889 marked the first
episode Of the Revolution.
Rue de Ia Paix, dear to the
hearts Of all women, was begun
by Napoleon and is today the
most fashionable shopping center
Of. the world. The Bots de
Boulogne is a natural parkway.
formerly the Forest Of Rouvray,
and is best remembered as the
locale Of many famous duelS.
The EgliSe Saint Germain des
Pres contains the tombS of Des-
cartes, Boileau, Mabillon. and
Monfaucon and is probably the
oldest church In Paris. The
Sacre Couer is situated on top
Of Montmartre, dominating the
north side of the Seine. and Is in
the style Of st. Sophia in Con.
stantinople.
Paris is a noisy city. At times
it is impossible to breathe and
mediate there. But turn aside
into the gardens Of the Rue
Clauzel or Of the Rue Ballu, only
step from La Trinite. There
one finds veritable nests Of tall
trees.
If the Typical Washington Girl
likes music she will visit the
Paris Symphony, where she will
find at the same time DehuSSy
and the newer Syncopation. /,
Some average Washington girl
Is to have this trip free.
Nominations are now in order.
