Sheriff Fields Raps Failure
Of Commissioners to Pro-
vide 3 More Men

Failure of the Arlington
county (Va. commissioners to
provide money for hire of
three additional members of
the county police force has en-
dangered the lives of school
children in all localities,
Sheriff Howard B. Fields de-
cIared last night at a meeting
of the board.
Fields some time ago asked the
board to provide $500 monthly
additional to pay trio of police
men he planned to appoint. He
said the funds could be taken
from the present road funds.
Commissioner Harry Gosnell
opposed the plan on the grounds
the board would be forced to
exceed it's budget.
Traffic conditions in the county
make it extremely hazardous to
children going to and from
school, Fields said. He wants
to place a policeman at each of
the schools during recess and in
the morning and evening.
Mrs. Elizabeth Barron Ma.
gruder, only woman member of
the board, asked and received
authorization to fill the vacancy
created by resignation of Police
man Roger Orrison.

7,114 Cases in August Tax
Facilities, and $350,0O0
Is Going Fast

Relief to the destitute un-
employed Of Washington is to-
day being dispensed on a basis
of 40 per cent reduction from
the amounts given out here
tofOre.
At relief headquarters, John
Marshall Place and C Street
Northwest, it was said the cut was
necessary so that available funds
might hold out till the next seS:on
of Congress.
A special fund of $3.50, 900 was
made available at the last session.
Demands for assistance have so
depleted the fund that the special
relief committee of the Board Of
Public Welfare decided this dras-
tic action was necessary.
7,114 Cases in Month
w. w. Milan, acting chairman
of the committee, said the excep-
tionally large number of applica-
tions was more than had been an.
ticipated. These requests during
August have totalled 7,114.
OF this number 1854 cases
have been acted upon and $3.50
are left for investigation. More
than $50 requests for aid are
received daily, and one day last
week the number rose to 566.
Much Spent Already
Expenditures to date from the
$350,000 fund total $39,597.14 for
relief and $2.974.9s for admins
trative expenses.
Leroy A. Halhert, administrator
OF the fund, said that even with
the 40 per cent cut it is doubtful
that the money available will be
sufficient to carry on the work
until Congress meets again in
December, when an additional
appropriation will be asked.
Several hundred men employed
at common labor jobs under the
committees supervision will be
cut from IS cents an hour to 81
cents, or to about $1.68 a day.

WINTER GRIPS.
WHOLE NATION
Snow Mantle Is Spread
Across Country.

Winter mantled the nation with
snow today and added new episodes
to the saga Of mans endless fight
against the elements.
Snow fell from California and
the Rocky mountains, where rec
ord low temperatures were reported
to the Atlantic seaboard. Virtually
the entire northern half of the
country felt the storms rigorS.
Most dramatic of the incidents
growing out 81 the storm was the
fight of f1ve-man coast guard
o4ew, which rode out the gales
that whipped Lake Erie into fury.
In the face of a binding snow
storm the guardsmen fought their
way back to Marblehead, O., from
West Sister island where they had
gone to bring back the body of
Frank Ryan, a hunter accidentally
shot Friday.
The guardsmen had reached the
little island, whose only inhabitant
is George Ganther, lighthouse
keeper, before the storm broke.
Trapped in small cutters, fears were
felt for the mems safety. Additional
cutters ordered to the mems aid
were forced back to port.
Finally, Pilot Milton (RedD Hers
