FILM TESTS

A group of 96 students boarded
trains regretfully today as the
4-day visual education demonstra-
ton was completed with lunch
at their headquarters in the
Wardman Park Hotel.
The 96 children from Al States
and the boy and girl from the
District of Columbia viewed their
last set Of taIkie films at George
Washington University this morn
ing.
They learned a lot they didn't
know about the source of rivers
and the direction they take. And
when the films were all over,
they were given the fifth of a
series of examinations to de-
termine the extent of the in
crease of their knowledge.
The demonstration was staged
under the auspices of the Fox
Film Corporation and under the
direction of the United States
Office of Education, in an effort
to determine the value of visual
education in the schools and the
type of films best suited for the
purpose,

RIOT SQUAD OUT
IN SHIRT ROW

A row between two women over
ownership of a shirt. hung in
backyard, today had the emer-
gency car from the Fifth precinct
and half a dozen policemen on
the run when hysterical neigh
Dor shouted that murder was in
the making.
When police arrived breathless,
two irate women struggling for
possession of the garment were
making the afternoon hideous
with their shouts.
AS the battle Of the closeline
progressed a score of neighbors
festooned rear windows near Fifth
and G streets Southeast offering
advice to the would-be COM
batantS. No blows were struck,
and a policeman suggested a pair
of shears might arbitrate the
fight.
AS the squad car left, the gar
ment was swinging merrily in the
breeze, it's ownership undeter-
mined.

PENSION CLAIM
IS REFUSED

Approving an opinion by acting
Corporation Counsel Vernon E..
West, the District Commissioners
today declined to grant pension
to Mrs. Irene Ritchie. common-law
widow of John A. Ritchie, who
was a patrol driver of the Metro
politan police force.
The opinion stated that, al
though the District Court of Ap-
peals had decided a common-law
marriage was valid in the Dis
trict. the District Commissioners
we're given discretionary powers
in the granting and suspension Of
pensions. It was also pointed out
that Ritchie died in 1909 and be-
cause of the long lapse Of time

BLOOM CLEARS
: HOURS ISSUE

Regulations governing Federal
workers have compelled the addi-
ton of three half-hour periods a
week on employees of the Bicen-
tennial Commission following the
adoption by the commission of a
five-day week for employees dur
ing. the summer.
Representative Sol Bloom. asso-
ciate director of the commission,
who brought about the change,
explained:
= Employees here are not COM
PEELED to work any more dur
ing the week than before adOp-
ton of the five-day week. Be-
cause of existing regulations it
is necessary that the workers
spend a half hour more three
days a week in the office IN or
der to secure their Saturday
mornings off.
"The employees themselves de.
sired this. 1t has given many
of them a new freedom and
also has increased their eff
Ciency."

4M Children Apply
For Work Permits
In District

Summer vacation may mean
the oil swimmin' hole for some
kids. but. for 444 District chill
dren, it means just plain hard
work.
Sometimes, however, the work
may be pleasant, as is evidenced
by the fact that scores of young
sters have joined the army Of
ice cream street vendors.
Since school closed June II,
444 children have applied at
the Franklin Administration
Building for work permits. This
is an increase of 40 over last
year.
Most of the applications come
from children between the ages
of II and Is years. Many are
applying for jobs as bundle
wrappers. messengers, delivery
clerks, and even the elevattng
job Of caddying.

MUSICAL TAX|S
GET FARES

Rudy Vallee. the Washington
ball team, Amos n Andy, several
nationally famous orchestras and
other celebrities are all lending
helping hand to the Washing
ton taxicab business.
The aid comes unwittingly, but.
nevertheless. it is aid.
A few weeks back an enterpris-
ing cab driver equipped his taxi
with a radio. 1t wasn't long he
fore other cabbies followed suit.
Now cabmen are predicting it
won't be long before every taxi
is radio-equipped.
Finds Radio Helps
A Times reporter, bent On find
ing out whether the radio and
it's stars were aiding the cab busi-
ness, made a number of inquiries.
Said one cabman:
"Helps? I'll say the radio
helps. The other evening. a
lady and her fellow hailed me
in Mt. Pleasant. They were
going to the theater, 1 guess,
cause they told me to drive to
F Street. I turned on the radio
and this fellow Rudy ValIee
was just beginning his pro-
gram. Well, in a few minutes
the fellow told me to drive
through Rock Creek Park be-
fore going downtown"
Several other cab drivers agreed
soft sentimental music from the
cab radios stimulated rides
through the parks in the eve
ningS rides which otherwise
would not be taken.
Many drivers agreed business
picked up decidedly during the
otherwise dull period when the
famous Amos n Andy team took
the air.
And the Washington ball team,
during its recent trip through
the West helped out the cab
business. The games were broad
cast through a local station. Any
number of cab riders, drivers
said, retained cabs longer than
ordinarily necessary to listen to
a tense moment during a game.

BOOTLEG DEAL
SEEN CAUSE Of
KILLING
Death of Charles Branden-
burg Follows Drinking Party;
3 Held For Investigation

Possibility that the Staying of
Charles Frederick Brandenburg,
38, of 18 I St. N. W., who was
mortally wounded last night after
a drinking bout, may have fol
lowed a quarrel over a bootleg
deal. is being considered by head
quarters detectives.
While the three men, who
we're arrested after Brandenburg
was pronounced dead on his ar
rival at Emergency Hospital, are
merely held on charges Of inves-
tigation, police are piecing to-
gether shreds of information on
which they are basing their the
ory.
Calls 1t Accident
Nelson Harrison, 35, who &C
cording to police. held the AS
caliber pistol with which Bran
denburg was fatally shot, said
the shooting was accidental.
Brandenburg was shot In the
side while in a car at Fourteenth
and T Streets Northwest.
Charles A. Neill, jr., 25, 1898
Twelfth St. N. W., and Harrison
we're arrested at the hospital.
Harrison. according to the Off
GERS, said he had taken the gun
from the room of William Everett
WaddelI, So, of 637 st. N. w.,
while WaddeIl was asleep. He also
took Waddell'S pOcketbOOk, the de-
tectives quoted him as saying.
The shot which killed Branden-
burg was fired several hours later
as he handed the gun to Branden-
burg, Harrison said.
No Charges Filed
Sergeant ,Dowd went to Wad-
dell's room, awoke him, and told
him his picketbook and gun were
gone. Waddell expressed surprise.
He expressed more surprise when
taken into custody "for investiga
tion."
An inquest will be held at the
District Morgue tomorrow morn
ing at II o'clock, at which time
Waddell, Harrison and Neill will
give their versions of the shoot
ing.

stimulate employment during the
dull summer months, opens on
July 20 and terminates August
Is. Mr.. Adams said:
"After the enrolment is
over, we will be able to tell
definitely whether the cOndi-
tiOns in the District are imprOv-
ing. If more people enroll for
work during the job campaign
than enrolled for the 1881
cleanup campaign, it may be
assumed that conditions are not
improving. Approximately 1,4OO
enrolled for work during the
cleanup campaign"
The committee is also offer
ing $40 gold piece to the person

slogan for the coming campaign.
Hundreds of slogans have already
