Love for Dog Nets
Owner of Still
SIS Fine

Because he loved his dog not
wisely, but too well, Charlie
Driver, colored. paid $75 in
Upper Marlboro Police Court
yesterday.
A week ago Sergt. A. w. Hep
burn and Officers E. A. Turner
and Arnold Naylor of the
Prince Georges county police.
raided a still in woods near
Upper Marlboro. They found
a quantity of alleged whisky
but no sign of life save five
dogs tied to trees nearby. Off
Ger Naylor tied a string around
the neck of one of the dogs and
took him along.
Next day Officer Turner ques-
toned Driver, whom he sus-
pected of operating the still.
The colored man protested his
entire innocence. Turner said:
1--WE came out ahead at that.
There were five fine dogs down
there and NaylOr took one
home"
Driver replied:
Eyes, sir, 1 know it. That's
my dog and you tell Mr.. NaylOr
he better bring that pup back"

TOWELS TARGET
Of QUERY

The Federal Co-ordinating Serv-
ice, which tries to make everything
about Federal service as uniform
as possible from the way to clamp
papers together to proper sizes for
automobile tires, now is trying
to settle the towel problem.
Somebody raised the question,
whether appropriations for De
partments included subscription to
a towel service, or whether it was
meant for each office to use its
own towels and keep them laun-
dered.
The chief Co-ordinator this week
sent to every department and of
flee head a query as to present
practices, and which method was
best,

PARIS ANSWERS
REICH ALONE

PARIS, Sept. 10 0N.S).
Forced into direct negotiations
with Germany by Great Britain'S
refusal to participate in the dis
cussion, the French council of
ministers this afternoon unani-
mously approved the reply to the
German arms equality demand
drafted by Premier Edouard Her
riot.
The reply, which is understood
to throw the problem into the
lap of the League of Nations,
will be sent Immediately to Andre
Francois Poncet, French ambasSa-
dor in Berlin, for presentation to
German Foreign Minister Won
Neurath.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, it was unofficially stated that
France regretted the necessity of
answering Berlin directly. The
spokesman confirmed previous
understanding that Britain had
refused to collaborate in the
French reply because it was not
in agreement with the French
position.
According to reliable informa-
ton, the French reply was
prefaced with the observation
that any changes in the arma,
ment or other clauses of the
Treaty of Versailles can be made
only with sanction of the full
membership Of the League Of Ma
tionS Council.

EURLOUGH PLAN
SEEN UNEQUAL. .

There seems to be no way to
avoid inequalities among Federal
employees in enforcing the econ
orny act, Comptroller General j.
r. McCarl admitted this week, in
pointing out that decisions favor
ing one method or group would
be adverse to others.
In explaining to the Depart
ment of Labor why it must con-
slider itself on a five-day week,
and not just granting four hours
furlough each week, McCarl said
the one eleventh pay deduction
which must accompany a five-day
week means an inequality, adding:
'It would most certainly re-
suit if the view were adopted
that there should be deducted
only S.3 per cent or One-twelfth
If re Department of Labor
were placed on a five-day week,
while employees under other
branches on a five-day week are
required to have One-eleventh Of
their pay deducted and i'm
pounded.
Furthermore, a days work
In the departments usually con-
siStS of seven hours for five
days and four hours for Satur.
day. Hence, suspension of work
for 48 Saturdays involves a loss
to the Government Of 1872 hours
work, whereas a suspension for
"a other working days would
involve a loss of only 1853 hours"

Women'S Bureau Head FroWnS
on Pay Reduction to Give
Shorter Work Time

Federal employees this week
are cheered by. the statement
of Miss Mary Anderson, direc-
tor of the Women's Bureau of
the Department of Labor, well
coming the five-day week plan
now tentatively being tried by
the Government, but warning
that it should not be accom-
panied by a sharp reduction
in income.
Although it was only a quasi
official message, its plea that the
plan to spread thin" the en-
ployment idea should seek to
keep salaries up as we'll, is con-
sidered the Governments basic
working policy to be most vel
coined by the Federal employees
Would Stretch Wages Thin
Although not indicating that
an 8.3 per cent salary reduction,
or even a Ill cut, is too much
to accompany a five-day week.
Miss Anderson adds:
Taking pay out of poorly
lined pockets to put into empty
purses will not lead to the
much-needed increase in pur.
chasing power, but to a stretch
ing thin of the limited earn
ingS of the masses"
Defends 5-Day Week
The Labor Department, of
which she is an official, is the
only department to accept Presi-
dent Hoover'S suggestion to go
on a five-day week. Its employees
took a Ill pay cut to do this.
Under the ideal plan urged by
Miss Anderson, the entire Gov
ernment. as we'll as all industry.

ONPORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 10
G.N.S0 The vanguard of an
army of $4,000 World War vet
erans swarmed into the far
Northwest today for the four
teenth annual convention of the
American Legion.
The convention will make his
tory by going on record for i'm
mediate cash payment of the
soldiers adjusted compensation
at a cost of $4,000, ,000,O0O to the
Federal Government.
It may stage an interesting
battle, too, over administering a
rebuke to the Hoover adminiStra-
ton for the armed election of
the Bonus Expeditionary Force
from Washington last summer.
The prohibition issue was on
the agenda of the conventions
resolutions committee, although
desperate efforts were to be made
to keep it out of the conclave.
The Legion recorded itself last
year at Detroit as favoring a
State-by-Stat referendum on the
question Of reSubmiSsion of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
A warm contest loomed in the
race for a National Commander
to succeed Henry L. Stevens, jr..
Of North Carolina. A dozen cam.
paignS have been launched, but

be centering around the candida

CHILL WEATHER.
To CONTINUE

Fall is "just around the cor
ner" and the Capital began to
feel the chill breath of the ap-
preaching cold season today, as
the temperature remained at 80
degrees or lower more than "a
consecutive hours.
That the cool weather will con-
tinue is indicated by the fore
cast of the Weather Bureau for
the coming week, which says:
Generally fair except a
period of showers middle of
week. Slowly rising tempera-
ture Monday and Tuesday and
considerable cooler by Friday"
Temperatures. for the past "a
hours are: Noon yesterday. 80;
p. M, 80; 8 p. m, 72; mid
night, 68; a. M, 81; 8 a. m,
g., and noon today, SO.
These figures are quite low for
the season. However, they do not
necessarily mean that the hot
weather is over for the year, it
was pointed out, as a cool spell
during the first part of Septem-
Der is not unusual. Last year, 1t
was recalled, the first two weeks
of September were cool, while

BRANCH FACTORIES
ABROAD ARE URGED
British Agent Advises u. S.
Manufacturers to Extend
Activities in England.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 13-American
manufacturers who exhibited keen in
terest in the visit of John Roland
Robinson, Englands youngest member
of Parliament, on a mission for British
industrialists, were advised by Capt. T.
H. Farmhouse Mr.. Robinson's associate
here, to act quickly if they wished to
avoid complete loss of their British
business.
Mr.. Robinson, who has just sailed for
Southampton to make his report to the
industrial leaders at home, informed
Capt. Farmhouse that q number of
American manufacturers were making
plans to establish branch factories in
England in the belief that the new
British tariff wall is likely to be both
solid and permanent.
According to Capt. Farmhouse, who is
connected with D. M. Collins & Co. here
and is closely associated with the Lord
Derby interests in England, the
American manufacturer is faced with
complete loss of British business in
short time and with the loss of trade
in the British dominions in the near
future unless he establishes a branch
factory in England"
THE consensus of opinion in Eng
land today" said Capt. Farmhouse, lis
that the British manufacturer is now
going to have the greatest opportunity
for an increase in export trade that he
has had In a long time, owing to Eng
land leaving the gold standard and
adopting a general tariff. Furthermore,
or
pairing to obtain that trade in increas-
ing volume.
1.-THE American manufacturers in Eng
land have the same opportunity, If they
live I'D to their world reputation of
being go-getters. IT, on the other hand
they are going to wait and see how their
English trade is affected by the new
tariffs, they are going to find the
French, German, Belgian and other
manufacturers established In England
first.
For example, some $40 100000 worth
OF vacuum cleaners are imported annu-
ally into England, of which about e.
00O, 900 worth come from the United
States. The opportunity presents itself
for the Americans not only to retain the
business already being done, but also to
obtain the balance of this business.
From now on the home market in
England is not going to buy much in
the way of manufactured goods from
America, as American goods cannot
compete with the English article. owing
to the new tariff wall. Regarding the
dominions, it is highly probable that in
the near future strong economic
union, based ON preferential tariffs, will
be created between them and the mother
country"

STOCKS CO HIGHER
IN STEADY MARKET
Wall Street Pleased by Ap-

Credit Policy.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 13.-Stimula-
ton of all security markets and nearly
all groups of issues was brought about
today by the definite policy of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York IN ef-
fecting what is assumed to be an easy
credit policy, and which may shortly
lead to a reduction in rediscount rates.
Sentiment Changed.
The overnight developments COM
pletely changed sentiment in wall
Street circles, where most OF the talk
today was of a bullish character.
There were q number of specific Incl
dents that gave point to the improved
feeling. One was the increase in car
loadings, amounting to 1,736 cars over
the preceding week, and supplemented
by statements from individual ROADS
that their traffic was showing grad
ual expansion.
The statement of the R. ]. Reynolds
Tobacco Co., indicating larger net
profits for 1881 than in 1880, influ-
enced higher prices not only in the
stock of this concern, but in those OF
competitive companies. A number OF
favorable dividend declarations were
announced. Prices on the London
market were substantially higher. This
included some of the international
loans that had been under pressure.
Then there was some evidence OF a
spirit of compromise on the part OF
France toward the German debt STU
alton.
Opening Prices Higher.
The market was narrowly higher at
the opening.
Steel activity was slightly better than
last week, at Is per cent Of capacity
and carloadings we're somewhat above
last week, but under the same week
of 1881.
United States Steel at AZ was up a
fraction. Bethlehem Steel was I'M
changed at 1913. Allied Chemical was
2 points higher at 70A. Among other
active induStrials showing small gains
were Eastman Kodak, Paramount Pub
Tx, General Electric, WESTINGHOUSE,
Bordens, General Foods and WOOL
worth. Mine shares were quiet, but
both American Smelling and Interna-
tional Nickel had slight gains.
Railroad stocks also were strong.
Baltimore & Ohio, Canadian Pacific,
Chesapeake Corporation, Illinois Cen
trail, New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania all had fractional advances.
Auburn opened 23s points higher at
I4O. General Motors was a shade
better at 22B. In the utilities, Co
lumbia Gas & Electric at IA, Electric
Power g. Light at 1915 and Standard
Gas g. Electric at 80 were narrowly
higher. Oil shares continued their ao-
vance on Tuesday.
