PLUMBERS USE
SHOP-TRUCK

The J. C. Flood Company, 14O5
V st. N. W., uses the latest type
truck for its plumbing and heat
ing service. Especially designed
and equipped for prompt service,
it brings the shop to the Gus
toner's door.
This special truck presents an
unusual appearance. There is a
place for everything which job
bling truck should carry. 1t is so
arranged that there is no lost
time in getting to the material.
The bins are all on the outside
of the body. There is a bottom in
the body made for tools and
other items. This leaves the en-
tire body free to load other ma
terials when necessary.
The old joke of the plumber
forgetting his tools cannot apply
here. The organization, headed
by J. C. Flood, has completed ap-
proximately 1000 jobs since Jan
uary /, 1881.

Air Corps Replaces
''Monkey Suit" With
TwO-Piece Garment
Yields to Complaints of
Pilots and DOoms Old
Equipment.

The well known monkey suits" of
the Army Air Corps are about to be
relegated to the past.
The monkey suit" was the one-piece
heavy Winter flying garment which was
supposed to keep out the chill Of the
upper air. Many and many an Army
pilot, however, cursed with chattertng
teeth monkey suits, which failed Ia
mentally to keep their hapless wearers
warm.
So vociferous became the complaint
that the Air Corps Materiel Division at
Wright Field has just developed, after
long research work, a new two-piece
suit which has been tested and accepted
as standard and which will gradually
replace the old equipment until the
last of the old monkey suits has become
nothing more than a museum piece.

board Law.

Marx Lewis, attorney for the local
Fur Workers Union, made a second
attempt yesterday to secure a public
hearing on his request for an amend
ment to the billboard regulations to ex-
clude from them a prohibition against
picketing labor disputes, matter which,
Marx claims, was not within the in
tention of Congress when it passed the
billboard law
To a former communication of his
last month he received a reply stating
that the corporation counsel had ruled
that the regulations banned picketing
The Fur Workers Union is in a dis
pute with local fur store and the
store sought an injunction to prevent
the picketing of the premises. The
attorney for the fur store introduced
the billboard regulations to sustain his
case.

PROBE OF UTILITIES
|. ORDERED BY HOUSE
Committee Plans to Study
Entire Financial Set-up and
Holding Companies.

In move to determine whether legis-
lation is needed to place utility holding
and investment trust compahies under
Federal regulation, the House has
ordered an investigation of all public
utilities operating in interstate COM
merce and their holding concerns.
Radio, telephone, telegraph, electric
power and light, aviation, motor vehicle
and pipe line operations will come
under the scope of the probe, which
was decided upon yesterday by the In
terstate Commerce Committee.
Railroads, previously studied, alone
were exempted from the present inquiry
Actual ownership and control of the
utilities is to be traced; their entire
financial set-up is to be scrutiniZed to
establish the effect of holding company
control on utility operation.
Other Probes Now Under Way.
At present the Federal Trade Com
mission has an investigation under way
of gas and electric power utilities, while
the Federal Power Commission is study
ing the financial set-up of it's own
licenses.
Chairman Rayburn of the Interstate
Commerce Committee said that some
time soon an effort undoubtedly would
be made in Congress to place the utility
companies under Federal regulation and
that his group wanted correct informa-
ton on them so "it would not have to
legislate in the dark"
Protests against the investigation were
made by Representatives Cooper of
Ohio and Underhill of Massachusetts,,
on the ground that 1t would entail ex-
pense. Rayburn said information on
who actually owned the utility COM
panies was necessary before his group
could proceed.
Representatives Purnell of Indiana.
Mapes of Michigan and Hoch of Kan
saS, supported the Texas Democrat,
Hoch, sponsor of a measure to divorce
the lines from oil producing and refin-
ing companies, emphasized the necessity
for the probe to cover pipe lines.
Probe Leads to Rail Control Bill.
The Interstate Commerce Committee
last year completed an exhaustive in
VeStigation into railroad holding COM
panies upon the recommendation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission. 1t
was found that rail consultations were
effected through holding companies de-
spite adverse rulings of the commission.
AS result, Chairman Rayburn has
introduced in the house a bill to place
railroad holding companies under the
Jurisdiction of the commission.
Rayburn announced that Dr. Walter
w. Splawn, former president of Texas
University, who conducted the railroad
holding company inquiry, and is in
charge of the Power Commission probe,
would investigate the utility companies.
The Texan expressed hope the investi-
cation would be completed by the end
of this session of Congress. He intro
ducad resolution to authorize $4,000
for the inquiry.

CITIZENS APPROVE
TWO TAX B|LLS|
PetWorth Association Against
60-4O Repeal and Other
Revenue Measures.

While it opposed the repeal Of the
60-40 fiscal relation plan now on the
statute books for control Of the Fed
eral Governments contribution to Dis
trict of Columbia expenses and the
proposed increased gasoline tax and
the automobile weight tax, the Pet
worth Citizens Association last night
adopted a resolution favoring the prin-
ciple Of income and estate taxes for
the District.
In adopting the report of its COM
mittee on taxation, the association
agreed to favor the income tax as a
replacement for the present intangi-
BILE property tax. The Petworth citi-
zens, however, asked that, should an
income tax be enacted for the National
Capital, the citizens be not required to
submit second return. They con-
tended that the Federal income tax
return could be used for both tax col
lectionS.
Tax Favored "In Principle"
The Petworth association went on
record in favor of an estate tax "in
principle" but not as a means of re-
ducing the Federal contribution to the
District. The Federal contribution, the
association contended, should be 40 per
cent Of the Capitals expenses. For this
reason, the association adopted a reso-
luton opposing repeal of the 6040 plan
of fiscal relations, which still is legally
in force.
The associations Taxation Commit
tee report was presented by I. M. La
vine, chairman.
Opposition also was given by the as
Sociation to the pending legislation,
which would prohibit individuals from
being trustees of estates by requiring
banking concerns to act in this capacity.
J. L. Carr, chairman of the Legislation
Committee, made the motion on which
the action was taken.
Views on School Sought.
When advised that the secretary of
the Board of District Commissioners
had replied to its protest against the
building of colored elementary school
in the vicinity of Rock Greek Church
and Riggs roads by explaining that the
Board of Education had full authority
with regard to the location of schools,
the ASSOCIATION agreed to secure each
Commissioners opinion on the matter
Consequently individual letters are being
sent to each Commissioner asking
whether the opinion expressed by the
secretary of the Board of Commissioners
is held by them. James G. Yaden. for
mer president of the Federation of Citi-
zenS' Associations. made this proposal.

on behalf OF the Community Chests

URBANA, Ill, January 20.-They're
having a holiday in Urbana because 1t
looked like the banks might get" into
financial trouble.
Paradoxical as this may seem, Ur-
bana'S 31-year-old mayor, Reginald G.
Harmon, just five years ago a graduate
of the University of Illinois Law School,
today was confident the holiday was a
successful means of insuring financial
stability to the city's two banks, the
First National and the Busey State.
He is working on the theory that
when you lose your head stop and
count 10"
When hysteria caused heavy with
drawals, following suspension OF two
banks in the adjacent city Of Cham
paign, he issued proclamation yeSter-
day closing all business establishments,
including banks, but excepting food
stores, drug stores, transportation and
public utility agencies, and newspapers.
Meanwhile, the newspapers printed
editorials encouraging confidence in the
banks, paving the wav for 100 citizens
to make a house toulouse canvass to
secure pledges from a majority of de-
positors in Urbana'S two banks that
they would not withdraw their money.
The holiday will be over Monday, and
business men lauded the young mayors
move. ~
Airplanes and armored automobiles
brought approximately 81 1000, 900 to the
four banks in Urbana and Champaign
Monday. The two banks remaining
open in Champaign reported yesterday
that the runs had subsidized, and that
deposits had exceeded Withdrawals.

cent will be made in the pay of en-
ployes of Sears, Roebuck g. Co., ef-
fective January 80, the personnel of
the concern has been informed by let
ters from R. E. Wood, president.
Present economic conditions have
forced the officers of the company to
take this step, President Wood wrote.
THE average value of what we sell to
our customers has declined 80 per cent
in the past two years, and the margin
available for salaries and wages has
shrunk steadily, in spite of our efforts
to effect every possible economy" he
said.
When conditions warrant, the officers
of the company desire to restore a
higher scale, Mr.. Wood declared.
1t was reported the percentage Of
pay reductions would be greatest in
the higher salary brackets, starting
with the president, and lowest in the
case of the employees receiving the
lowest salaries.
The company operates here a depart
ment store at Oil Bladensburg road,
stores at 3140 M street and 1925 Four
teenth street and a home construction
division and an art gallery at 1106
