Eberly Plan GiUen Capital
Just 80 Years Ago

fully worked out plan, quickly as
sured the early success Of A.
Eberly'S Sons. Although, fire.
quently approached by capitalists
interested in financing the Eberly
Plan in a national way, the busi-
ness has identified itself strictly
with Washington. It is regarded
today as Washington institution.
The idea Of the Eberly Plan is
summed up in the slogan "Re.
duce What You Pay The Eberly
Way-From Cellar to Roof" In
other words Eberly does the whole
job of home moderniZing-Steam
fitting, plumbing, pIastering, floor
ing, roofing, papering - anything
and everything that needs to be
done in the home.
On Special Budget
Because separate jobs Of remod-
cling can be done at less cost, and
more conveniently, when the work
is thus placed under one head, the
Eberly Plan has worked out sub.
stantial savings for Washington
home owners.
Contributing to the successful
operation of the Eberly Plan are
several other important factors
including a special budget plan Of
payments that reduce the expense
of home undermining to a few
cents a day.

POTEET COURSE
WINS PRAISE

Poteet's Business College an
nounces that it has had for the
year an increase Of about Is per
cent over the previous years bust
ness. Mr.. Poteet. said:
81 attribute the success and
growth Of the school and the
increasing popularity OF its en-
plOyes among business men to
the careful individual attention
which is given to each student.
This enables each student to
develop his talents TO the high
est degree possible and in the
shortest time without being
obliged to rush on with q class
that is progressing too rapidly
for him, or to be held back be-
cause Of being in . class M-.:ich
might move too slowly for him.
"The world is moving along
quite rapidly. What was modern
and satisfactory even 10 years
ago is often decidedly out Of
date, IL not entirely obsolete, to-
day.
"The school is making a Spc-
cial offer for the remaining few
days Of this month by which
all who enroll for tie day or
evening sessions will be given
their initial supply Of books
free Of charge.
"This offer is well worth in
vestigating, as it will mean q
considerable saving in the cost
of the course, and will be with
drawn at the end Of the cur
rent month"
Mr.. Poteet is widely and favor
ably known in Washington fol
his efficiency, his sincerity Of pur
pose, and his ability as an in
structor Of business and civil
service branches.
Thousands Of his former stu.
dents, now holding responsible
positions in this city, are able
and willing to testify to the bene'
fits they have received through
Poteet training.

 No one was hurt, but Doorn called police at once. They were near the Doorn home investigating when the second bullet crashed into the Juliano bathroom.

POLICE RAIDED MAGAZINES THAT
 PUBLISH GOSSIP

New York. Dec 10-(UP)-So- ciety circles to-day eagerly awaited a further expose of how debutantes were graded and families rated in Town Topics and "The Tatler and American Sketch" following raids yesterday on these two gossip magazines.
 Augustus R. Keller, editor of Town Topics" and John c. Schemm, editor of "The Tatler" were ordered to appear before As- sistant District Attorney Abraham Davis to-day with all their books and records.
 The attorney generals office seeks to determine if these two publications have been selling their stock by fraudulent means. Persons prominent in society have complained that salesmen for at least one of these magazines have hinted that purchase of stock would be insurance against tart comments.
 According to the state, many fathers and mothers of this sea- sons debutantes have been visited by persons representing themselves as agents of society gossip maga- zines. They offered favorable pub licity for a contribution, the state charged.
 "The Tatler and American Sketch" graded debutantes, A, B, c, D, E, and E-Z. A typical com ment after grade A was: ITO the manor born" B classification was almost as good with such a phrase as "a family of distinction" One jibe in class c was: "The fleet s in." Grade D was the lowest to rate comment. "The opposite of timid." This should satisfy" were among this class. As for E-Z, debutantes were just listed.
 According to information given the attorney general the daughter of one old family was rated E-Z after her father had refused to buy stock in the magazine.
 The list of directors and stock holders of Town Topics" Is a dis tillation of the social register, in- vestigation revealed. It was ad- mitted at the attorney generals office that the seized records indi- cate that approximately 200 of the wealthiest and socially prominent men and women of New York and other cities have bought stock over the last few years.
 The state believes that this type of magazine must continue to sell stock or obtain subsidies in order to publish at a profit.
 Therefore, the state contends, that if fraud can be shown In the sale of securities under the Mar tin act, an injunction against their sale would be equivalent to sup precision of the publications.

Washington, Dec 10.-UP)- The vast size of w. Warren Bar bour, the new senator from New Jersey, has impressed Washintgon. He stands we'll over six feet and, while he hasn't told his weight publicly, he'd have to reduce to reach 200.
 Next to his height it is his fine head of black, curly hair that at- tracts the most attention. Bar bour's striking appearance and great size are in considerable con- trast to the appearance of the late Dwight w. Morrow, the man he succeeded. Morrow was one of the smallest men in the senate,
 Yesterday Barbour called on President Hoover for about three minutes. Barbour came out of the White House smiling, said he had been glad to see Mrs Hoover, slow ly loaded a pipe with tobacco and strode away.
 The preceding day he had the honor of being sworn in as a sen ator with Mrs Hattie Caraway, the first woman to become a really &C., tive member of the senate.
 Barbour cast his first vote as a regular. When his name was called on the balloting for president pro tenn of the senate he boomed out a vote for Moses, indicating he was not joining with those whom Mos es called "songs of the wild jack ass."
 Mrs Caraway. incidentally, was late for her vote. She got It in. however, on the same ballot as f4v Dit n n St Moses when the clerk called over the list of those absent on the first call.
 Barbour not only is a powerfully built man, but in his younger days he made use of his great weight and strength. He is a former champion amateur heavyweight boxer of America. He always has liked prize fighting and was the timekeeper at Toledo when Jack Dempsey won the worlds heavy weight crown from Willard back in 1919.
 He wears dark clothes. a derby hat and smokes a pipe.
 There are other athletes among the newcomers at the capitol. Ren Joseph B. Shannon, democrat from the fifth Missouri district. brides himself on his huge biceps. He got them, he says. as lad of IS setting pins in a bowling alley in a St Louis beer garden. Now at the age of GA he likes to raise himself a foot off his chair by talk ing hold of the chair arms and simple flexing his biceps.
 shannon doesn't believe in sak- ing hands. although he does 1t sparingly as a concession to his constituents. He says it's unhealthy.
