ReicheLderfer's DELAY
Due to Wrong Address
And BUSY Telephone

DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer.
president of the Board of District
Commissioners, is a stickler for
punctuality.
But this morning he was
nearly an hour late for cere-
mony in which he was the central
figure-the official coming of
natural gas to Washington.
President Hoover pressed the
button at the White House
promptly at 10 o'clock, and a
bulb at the gas plant at Eleventh
and M Streets Southeast glowed
expectantly and even impera-
lively.
And They Waited
All was in readiness for the
turning of the wheel which
complete the ceremony. All, that
is, except the presence of DR..
Reichelderfer, to whom had been
delegated the honor of turning
the wheel.
The formidable group of Off
cials and citizens saw the minutes
pass by and grew concerned over
his absence.
Inquiry showed that the District
Commissioner had left his office
IS minutes before.
Finally, DR.. Reichelderfer ar
rived with a good-humored apol-
ogy. He had been driven, he said,
to Eleventh and M Streets North,
east, which is merely a theoretical
point on the map, and had been
subjected to veXing delays in try
ing to get his bearings.
Couldn't Reach Phone
He went to a wayside drugstore
In an effort to telephone. but
there encountered a young woman
in the only booth, engaged in a
long, long -winded conversation
with her 'Sweetie."
Finally, in disgust, he beat
retreat to his office in the Dis
trict Building. There he learned
that the ceremony was still await
ing his pleasure. and he made
speedy trip down to the gas plant,
turned the wheel, and told of his
misadventures.

New Fuel to Be Mixed With
Local Manufactured Product;
Maintains a Higher Heat

President Hoover started the
flow of natural gas into Wash
1ngton today.
He pressed a button at the
White House which lighted bulb
in the big plant of the Washing
ton Gas Light Company at
Eleventh and M Streets South
east. Shortly after. DR.. Luther
Relchelderfer, president of the
board of District Commissioners,
turned the wheel which let the
gas seep into the pipes.

DR.. Reichelderfer made brief

dent of the Washington Gas
Light Company and his associates
upon bringing natural gas to the
Capital
Engineer Makes Talk
Walter M. Russell, chief en-
gineer of the gas company, made
a speech in which he explained
that the natural gas being piped
to Washington from the West
Virginia fields was to be used as
a partial substitute for the crude
Oil now used in the manufacture
OF heating and Illuminating gas,
and added:
THE percentage of natural
gas in the total mixture will
never be more than 30 per cent,
in all probability. For that Tea-
son the new gas will not be diff
ferent from the old in any way,
save that it probably will main
tain higher heat content.
Reports have been brought
to us that owing to the lack of
OdOr of natural gas, it will be
dangerous to use in gas ranges,
ETC., that are not provided with
flueS or outlets. I can say posi-
lively, however. that there will
be no change in the OdOr of the
present gas, because the natural
gas never will be more than one
third of the mixture"

FIVE DESTROYERS BOMBED
 BY CHELIAN AIR FORCES

IPARALSO. Sept. g. (AP) Five destroyers were bombed in to submission by te Chelian air forces yesterday and they steamed into port at dawn and formally surrendered to the government by their rebel crews which took them last week.
 They will be ovarhauled and put into service for an attack on heavier units of the fleet which has not as yet surrendered. The battleship Lattorre and cruiser Ohiggi, are still holding out, but the general belief is that they will submit before the day is over.
 Yesterdays engagement was brief, the destroyer hotilla surren- dered after twenty minutes bonn bardment from the air, when ma chine guns opened up from the planes. the men aboard the sur face of the vessels began leaping into the water. The subma rine squadron gave in quickly and none of the fleet returned fire.
 Admiral Abel Campos. comman ding officer of the fleet, was re- leased by the rebels who came ashore. Other high officers will assist in the direction of opera tions against the ships Ohiggi and Lattorre.

Many Men Get
Work on Roads
100000 WOrkmen Now Build
ing Highway Throughout y
The Nation

Construction work, despite the
widespread introduction of machin-
cry, still needs great numbers of
workmen. 1t is estimated that in
highway building from one-half to
three-fourths of the money goes into
the pockets of workmen and that
about 100000 men are at work build
ing the nations roads.
The magnitude of highway building
is pointed out in a recent announce
ment of C. M. Babcock, highway
commissioner of Minnesota. Mr..
Babcock shows that in concreting 284
miles of trunk highway in Minnesota
last year it was necessary to ship by
freight 24,933 carloads of equipment
and material at a total freight cost
of $1,477O0. Of the average cost of
$23,848 per mile for finished concrete
pavement, $5,188 was required for
freight, not including sand and gravel
hauled locally by truck.
This year Mr.. Babcock estimates
that the concrete paving program of
425 miles will require railroad load
ings Of 37,400 carloads of paving ma
terials, for which the freight charge
will be $2,65O,00O. In addition to this
there will be about 1000 carloads of
brick material and about 5000 cars
of tile, culverts and culvert material
for use in grading projects.
Mr.. Babcock points out that this
business with the railroad means the
keeping Of a great many railroad
men in work this summer who might
otherwise be unemployed. A present
about 10000 men are working direct
ly on Minnesota state highway pro-
jects, not including the great num-
bers of men employed in producing
and transporting the thousands of
carloads of materials.
Practically all states have acceler-
ated highway construction work this
year and it is believed that a little
later in the summer the effect of this
wide disbursement of cash to work
men will be evidenced in business
conditions. These large highway pro-
grams, however, are being offset in
large degree by the lack Of activity
in municipal construction. A few
cities, however, are taking advantage
of present bargain prices in mater
ials and construction by inaugurating
programs for municipal improvement
construction. Some of these cities
are: Kansas City, Memphis, Tacoma,
Houston. New Orleans. Chicago. Du1-
nth, Rochester and Syracuse.

penses. It would reduce the loss.
On other farms the returns will be
more than the additional expense of
hired labor and thus increase the
gain.
"The indications at the present
time are that there will be more
workers than there are jobs. Ac-
cording to reports for June there
were Isl men in the United States
for every 100 jobs and the ratio for
Minnesota was the same. If this
proportion of workers to jobs con-
tinues, wages should be lower than
a year ago. This will be good news
to those farmers who are planning
on additional labor during the next
few months although such labor will
have to be paid for with compare
lively low-priced farm products.
"The ratio of prices of farm pro-
ducts to farm wages is the lowest
since 1927, and, because of this con-
dition, farmers should study their
needs carefully before paying out
cash for hired labor except where it
is unquestioned economy. In many
cases an exchange of labor with a

FARMER DEMAND FOR
LABOR, UNDER NORMAL

1.-THE demand on the part of far
mers for hired help is now about ~
per cent of normal, and about Ia
per cent less than it was year ago"
says L. F. Carey of the Agricultural
Economics Division, University Farm,
st. Paul. "This indicates that farm
ers are planning to hire less labor
than last year.
Every farmer would, of course,
be anxious to hire additional labor
if the income from this labor were
greater than the expense of hiring
it. This may not be the basis on
which some farmers will hire labor
this year. A considerable expense
has been involved already in plant
ing and caring for the small grain
crops. If they are not harvested,
they will all be lost. On some farms
no doubt, the best policy will be to
hire little more labor and get some
thing from the crops although it
may not be enough to pay, all ex-
