Townsend, Feb. 10.-The season
for trapping muskrats is becoming
more profitable as the season
wears on. Several serious setbacks
in the early part of the season due
to several spells of EXTREMITY cold
weather which brought the buei-

catches were obtained. With more
than the usual number of trappers
this year, the catches are about
normal with prices remaining at a

ODD JOBS. DRIVE
GETS RESULTS

Wanted-A lot of odd jobs for
the unemployed.
That is the cry that is being
sent out daily by The Washington
Times and the United States En-
ployment Service who are coop
Grating to locate jobs of any sort,
for unfortunates who have no
work.
The odd job campaign started
by The Times has brought results.
But the surface has hardly been
skinned and more odd jobs must
be found.
AS has been said before, every
employed person could relieve the
situation to vast extent by find
ing employment of some sort for
some unemployed person at least
one day each week. That is the
suggestion of The Times.
Last evening one man who had
heard that the head of a family
was unemployed dug out lot of
discarded clothing-things every
man has. He took the articles to
the family and the mother and
wife is today putting them back
in shape. That is an odd job.
Each day The Washington
Times publishes a coupon. Fill
in the space allotted with your
odd jobs and the number of per-
sons you will need. There are
hundreds of women and men
waiting for your call each day at
the United States Employment
Service Building on Louisiana
Avenue.

XMAS DISPLAYS
READY EARLY

Complete displays of the newest
and most attractive Christmas
suggestions are to be made by
all of the larger and most of the
smaller Washington stores Satur-
day, according to Edward D.
Shaw, secretary of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association.
Convinced that shoppers prefer
to shop early. if convinced the
stocks are complete, merchants
have decided to inaugurate the
buying season earlier this season.
With their lines complete and
with their forces expanded to
care for the trade during the
busy weeks preceding Christmas
the early shoppers are assured
advantages over those who delay
making their selections.

OVERTIME TOLL
FOR VETERANS
BUREAU STAFF
5000 Given Orders to Work
Three Nights Weekly
Till Further Notice

Practically all of the nearly
5000 employees of the Veter-
ans Administration were today
ordered to work overtime
three nights a weeks, 7 to 10
O'Clock, in an effort to catch
up with the work, which for
months has been getting
farther behind.
The new order involves all en-
ployes engaged in the adjudica-
ton work, which includes insur-
ance. compensation and other
major activities of the admins.
tration. and also various other en-
ployes ranging down to the mes
senger service. The employees will
work Monday. Wednesday and
Friday nights.
A. D. Hitler, executive assistant
to Director Frank T. Hines, in ad-
mitting the order, said perhaps
fewer than 1000 employees would
be affected after the machinery
was set in motion.
He said:
This move is imperative, if
we are to get the work out. 1t
is far behind, and the Admins
tratiOn is anxious to settle
claims and grant relief as
quickly as possible.
eve know there are many
unemployed persons in the city,
including former Government
employees, and plenty of persons
eligible for appointment to the
Administration.
"But we cannot add these for
two reasons. First, there is no
room in the Administration
building for any more employees.
Second, unframed workers
would be of little help and our
work requires trained empIOves.
1--WE adopted the overtime
plan as the simplest, most log.
ical method of expediting the
work. How long the overtime
will last, we do not know, but
it will last until the employees
get well caught up in their
work."

Donovan to Collect
Chest Contributions

District Auditor Daniel J. Dono-
van was named by the District
Commissioners today as chairman
of committee to collect a days
pay each month during January,
February and March from en-
ployes of the District to aid un-
employment.
The action was taken at the re-
quest of Thomas E. Campbell,
president of the Civil Service Com
mission. A record of contribu-
tions will be kept, so that requests
for further funds will not be asked
of contributors during the annual
drive of the Community Chest.

PARKING PLANS
PUZZL|NG To
D. {. HEADS
So Admitted in Asking Ideas
From BicentenniaI
Committee

The District Commissioners
today admitted they had no
solution to the parking system
recently advanced in a fiery
letter to the Fine Arts Commits
sion.
The city heads wrote a letter
to William Tyler Page, executive
secretary of the George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission, con-
Tossing their inability to cope
with the problem and inviting
suggestions of the bicentennial
committee.
The letter says in part:
"The question of parking
automobiles on the public high
ways is one that has been
given considerable attention and
certain restrictive regulations
have been made as to parking
automobiles. There has been no
special regulation designed to
handle this parking situation
during the bicentennial year.
There are approximately 1OO,-
900 motor vehicles in the Dis
trict of Columbia and it is
practically certain that there
have not been sufficient gar
ages provided to take care of
these automobiles, either dur
ing business hours or during
the time of day when many of
them are parked on public
highways"

HARKERUNHURT.
BEFORE QUIZ,
THEY TESTIFY
Night Watchman Confronted
With Statement at Odds
With Testimony

Testimony on behalf of four
policemen accused of assault
ing James H. Harker was Of
fered in the District Supreme
Court today by fellow officers.
They testified Harker, young
bakers apprentice, appeared
intoxicated when he was
brought into court early on
August %, but on crOssexaml-
nation, admitted he did not
have a black eye or bruises,
which the prosecution claims
he received at the hands of
the four men in a "third de-
gree" examination.
Plea for Burroughs
At the opening of court today,
Attorney Frank j. Kelly made a
separate plea for w. T. Burroughs,
one of the defendants. who. with
Francis x. Fitzgerald, a private
matchman, arrested Harker on
suspicion of a robbery.
Kelly said Burroughs. father
of 10 children, was If duty at the
time of the alleged forcible ques-
tioning and did not see Harker
beaten.
Fitzgerald, who was employed
by merchants in the North Capt.
tol Street area where the lunch
room was burglarized, said Har-
ker's face was red and swollen
when he was arrested in an alley
in the rear of the lunch room and
near the bakery, where he was en-
ployed.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover produced a statement Fitz-
gerald had signed in which he
said Harker's eye was badly dis
colored" following Harker's ques-
tioning. Fitzgerald denied on the
stand he knew this statement was
in the paper he signed at the
suggestion of Department Of JUS
tice agents.
The watchman said he did not
know what a black eye was, that
he had not seen one for ten years.
An outburst of laughter in the
courtroom was met with the dec
laration from Justice James M.
Proctor that on recurrence he
would clear the courtroom.
Reporter TestifieS
william K. Hutchinson, news
paper reporter. testified he called
at the precinct the day of Hark-
er's questioning, and heard no
screams or groans from the SER
geant's room. He talked with
James A. Mostyn, one of the ac-
cused men, and said Mostyn
told him he had "just cleaned up
a robbery case"
Among the policemen who testi-
fled on behalf of Mostyn, Bur
roughs and w. C. Grooms and
William r. Iaflin were Capt.
William G. Stott, Warren L. Cur
tis. Roy P. Kelly, Paul S. Withers,
James H. Murphy, Melvin P.
Lewis, S. Preston Smith and
Sergt. Ernest B. Myers.
Youths Parents Testify
The parents of the boy, Mr..
and Mrs. George w. Harker, of
Glendale, Md, yesterday described
how their son was injured on the
eye, ear, back and shins from
the alleged third degree.
Harker has been living with
his father and mother, the former
retired Navy Yard machinist,
since his questioning last August
%.
A score of witnesses corrobo-
rated their testimony as to Hark-
er's injuries.
CroSS-examination of the doctor
who examined Harker, following
his questioning, indicated another
line the defense probably would
take in its argument.
