100000 JOBS.
IN j. s. HELD BY.
CHILDREN
Miss Lenroot Urges They Go
Back to School to Relieve
Unemployment Crisis

The 100000 children employed
throughout the Nation should be
taken out of the labor market
with as much haste as possible
to relieve the surplus adult labor
situation, it was asserted today
by Miss katherine Lenroot, chief
of the United States Children's
Bureau.
Commenting on the Nationwide
movement Of the National Child
Labor Committee to take children
out of industry, Miss Lenroot said
that is especially cruel" for
adults and children.
Back in School
The plan is to take children
from industry and put them back
into school, both to relieve the
present unemployment situation
and to prepare the children for
better future positions.
According to figures Of the
Children's Bureau, there are more
than 100000 children up to the
age Of II employed throughout
the country. OF these, more than
667 900 are less thA1 Is.
In Washington. although the
situation has been relieved by the
child labor law, there are still
about 700 children employed at
various types of jobs.
Many in Clerical Jobs
A large number of the children
are employed in domestic and per.
sonal service. These jobs, accord
ing to the Children's. Bureau,
although permitted under the
child labor law, could easily be
filled by adults.
Some children in Washington
are employed in clerical service
and many more in unskilled occu-
pationS of many types.

LARGER FIELD
ON NEW SITE
SUGGESTED
Alternative Is Enlargement
BY Annexation of Expert
ment Farm

Charging that Washington
Hoover Airport is a menace in its
present layout, officials of the
National Park and Planning Com
mission today demanded that the
Commerce Departments Bureau
of Aeronautics and the Army and
Navy take immediate action.
The planning commission laid
its charges before a score of
high ranking aviation authorities
shortly after noon behind closed
doors at the Navy Department.
The commission, following a
complete survey of Washington's
airport needs, called the meeting
after it discovered the present
airport too small for safe hand
ling of transport airships.
Offer ? Solutions
Two solutions were discussed at
the meeting. One would require
closing Military Road, connect
ing Washington with Hoover
field, and enlarging the COM
bined airports by annexing that
part of the Department of Agri-
cultural's experimental farm ly.
ing east of the railroad.
In the failure of the War De-
partment and Agriculture Depart
ment to agree to this course the
alternative would be to construct
a mammoth landing field and
seaplane base at Gravelly Point,
near the Mount Vernon Boule-
ward.
MOffett Present
Preliminary cost estimates for
carrying out both projects were
submitted by E. A. Schmitt, U. s.
engineer.
Among those at the hearing
were Rear Admiral William Mof-
fett, national advisory committee
man for aeronautics; General
Westover, Majors Kelner and Ham
ilton, from the War Department,
and General Staff; Russell Solo
mon, Washington Hoover Airport;
Roy A. Braden, Arlington County
manager, and officials from the
District Commissioners Office, the
Board of Trade, and the local
Chamber Of Commerce.

The body of William Mckinley
Scott, colored janitor, was found
by firemen excavating the ruins
of the Alzarado Apartment in
the first block Of Rhode Island
Ave. N. w., which was gutted
by a disastrous fire early Sunday
morning.

body revealed he was trapped
while trying to escape from the
basement through a dumb-waiter
shaft.
The body was found in a dou-
bled up position near the bottom
of the shaft. Several feet Of
debris which had fallen into the
shaft prevented investigators
from locating it sooner.

itor had been drinking that night

ing on his care Of the boilers.
