ARMED HOLD-UP
BY GIRL REPORTED
Clerk Says She Took $50 and
Left in Auto Parked
Nearby.

A freckle-faced girl, who confronted
him with q pistol, robbed Lyle Boucher,
Internal Revenue Department clerk, OF
$50 early this morning, he told police.
The young man told Detectives Charles
E. Mansfield and John Wise the hold
up occurred at about 1915 o'clock, just
as he was about to enter his apartment
house at $500 K street.
Boucher said he was about to go into
the house when the young woman.
about % years old, called to him from
across the street. Boucher said she
drew a gun when he approached and
said It want your wallet"
He said he allowed her to take his
purse and when she started to take
change from another pocket he asked
her to leave him enough for food. She
granted the request.
After taking his money, Boucher said
the woman held the gun on him until
she was about 40 feet away, when she
ran to a car parked, with engine
between K and L streets on
and was driven away. He
said he called for help but received no
response.
Stories Of how he had spent the eve
ming previous to the robbery, however,
were contradictory. Boucher told police
he had been a member of a theater
party, and named his companions.
When questioned by police they denied
having been with him. Boucher later
told police he had been classifying. al
though he said he did not know why.
His story of the actual hold-up, how
ever, was unchanged after questioning.

BIDS TO INSULATE
BUILDING SOUGHT
Treasury Ends Years Con-
troversy Over Keeping Com
merce Structure Cool.

Ending a years controversy with the
architectural firm handling construc-
ton of the new Commerce Department
Building over the ACCESSIBILITY Of insu-
lating it against heat, the Treasury
today issued a call for bids for an
insulation to be installed Under the
roof.
The call came after repeated efforts
of the supervising architects Office to
have York g. Sawyer, New York archi-
tectS overseeing construction of the
building, make recommendations and
draft specifications for the insulation.
The Treasury itself finally drew up the
specifications, which call for a one-inch
material of cane or fiber boatd to be
attached to the under side of the
concrete roof slab.
F. M. Kramer, resident architect for
York & Sawyer, previously had reported
his firm was unable to find a suitable
insulating material which could be APP
piled to the roof slab, and, moreover,
doubted that insulation would be nee
eSsary, suggesting instead that fans be
used. The Treasury insisted however,
that insulating material could be at
tached to the under side of the roof
slab with any standard cement and
named two suitable preparations.
Tests of temperatures in the newly
finished Internal Revenue Bureau,
which is equipped with insulation, have
proved without doubt" the value of
this protection, in the opinion of off,
Gals OF the supervising architects Office.
Midsummer readings in that building
show the following temperatures: Sec
ond floor, 88 degrees; seventh floor, 81
degrees: attic, 90 degrees; on slate
roof, 134 degrees, and pent house, los
degrees. Officials commended that with
out insulation, the attic temperature
would be at least los degrees and others
correspondingly higher.
