M|SHAPS LAID
To KING HORSE

The danger of horses in traf
fic was recounted today to dele
gates to the National Safety
Congress.
In an address before the group
W. C. WaShburn, of New York,
declared that $4,000 horses are
in commercial use in the metropo,
lis and that they figured in 999
collisions last year resulting in
injury to GAL persons.
Mr.. WaShburn went into detail
about the various causes of horse
drawn vehicle accidents, StreSSing
mechanical breakdownS. The chief
danger element, however, is in
the horse, he declared, saying:
"The added danger element
that we have is in the motive
pOwer-the horse. In him we
have a combination of whimS
and eccentricitieS to bother us.
A horse may be trained-but
don't bet on him. His nature
is not cOnquered-hiS will really
rules. He is never constant
his next action almost an un-
known quantity. 1t is such
characteristics as these that
cause the horse engineer-if 1
may coin a vOcatiOn-mOSt Of
his cares and worries"
Mr.. Washburn said an analysis
Of accidents where horses figured
revealed that in IS per cent OF
them natural desires or whims
in the horse, against which the
driver has little or no control,
were responsible.

v. D. v. NAMED
! BY TWO HELD
IN DRY CASE
Preliminary Investigation Fails
to Support Accusation,
! Says U. S. Attorney

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Oct. 7.
AN investigation into charges
that the Hagerstown chapter
of the Woodmen of the World
has been selling home brew to
pay off a mortgage on its
lodge hall was ordered here
yesterday by Judge William
G. Coleman.
The order was issued in United
States District Court after a case
in which two men were charged
with sale and possession of liquor
and maintaining q nuisance.
Pair Pleads Guilty
The men, L. Keely Long and
William j. Peterson, pleaded
guilty. AS they were about to be
sentenced their attorney, Scott M.
Wolfinger, told the court his
clients were merely employees hired
to sell the beer.
1t was teStltled thaC Che peer,
which was bought by Prohibition
Investigator George Danforth,
was being sold in q cafeteria in
the basement of the lodge. Wolfin-
ger told the court:
"They put in the cafeteria to
help pay off a mortgage on the
place, and when they found that
the money was not coming in
they put in home brew"
Investigation Ordered
Judge Coleman asked who put
in the cafeteria and beer and
Wolfinger charged it was the
Woodmen Of the World. Judge
Coleman then ordered A. Risley
Ensor, Assistant U. S. District At
torney, to make further investi-
cation. Ensor said that so far he
had been unable to find any evi-
dence that the Woodmen, of
whom there are about 750 in
Hagerstown, had anything to do
with the sale of the beer.
Simon E. Sobeloff, U. S. District
Attorney, said he would direct q
further probe and present his find,
ings to a grand jury if the evi-
dence warranted it.

FEDERAL EMP[0yE
SURVEY |SPtANNED
Classification and Retirement
to Be Studied for Con-
gress Action.

A survey Of classification and retire.
ment methods is being planned by the
American Federation Of Government
Employees as a basis for recommenda-
tions to Congress for equalization OF
rights among departmental and field
personnels.
Data will be gathered also to support
a recommendation of the federation
that retirement be made optional after
80 years of service.
The survey will be begun It once by
Cavid r. Glass, first vice president OF
the federation, who served as prCvi-
sional president from the time the char
ter was granted the organization in Au-
gust until its first annual convention
two weeks ago. At that time Mr.. Glass
declined the presidency to devote him
self to personnel research work.
Expert on Personnel.
I'm making a survey of classification,
John Arthur Shaw, president of the
federation said in a statement yester-
day, I'VE feel fortunate in having Mr..
Glass available to undertake this ac-
tivity. He has had broad experience in
personnel work in the Federal service
with the Classification Commission,
which formulated the original scheme
of job ALLEGATIONS.
"Mr. Glass devised the coding sys-
tenn in the survey of field services. and
handled more than $1,000 Government
employees job sheets, in addition to
more than 10000 job shee-J gathered
from private establishments. While on
detail to the staff of the lief co-or-
dinator's Office. he made an exhaustive
study of leave and other personnel
problems"
The survey will call upon employees in
the departments in Washington, as well
as those in the field, to supply infor-
nation as to their positions and also
regarding industrial conditions in the
vicinity Of their employment. This will
be compiled into a comprehensive re-
port on the subject of classification and
retirement as basis Of recommendation
to Congress. Information gathered
from industry will be compared with
that from Government agencies with
regard to retirement privileges.
Defects Pointed Out.
With regard to classification, Mr..
Glass said there are many defects in
the plan now in operation in the de-
partmental service in Washington.
Many of these become evident in the
administration Of the act, since it is a
fact that no law which is deficient
can be administered to the complete
or benefit of those whom it
concerns.
The various Services such as pro-
misunderstanding. clerical-administra-
fiscal and the like. should be suffl-
ciently defined to make the differences
between them unmistakable Otherwise
a substitute plan should be employed
which should enable classifying
agency to allocate an employe without
leaving any doubt as to his or her
proper ALLEGATION. At present it is often
debatable whether a certain position
will fall in the professional-scientific or
the clerical administrative fiscal classi-
fication. This is particularly true in
connection with the subprofessional and
professional groups"

BABIES TREATED
FOR 'SHELL Shock
Doctor Reports Methods of
Reducing Loss of Weight
by Newborn.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK, October 29.-Shell-
shock lessons from the World War
promise to end a universal worry of
mothers, the to 10 per cent loss of
weight by all newborn babies.
For 100 years this steep drop in
weight has been noted and considered
law of nature" and immutable.
1t is only birth shock, the same thing
as shell shock, ;-ld easily preventable,
according to medical evidence presented
before the Philadelphia Pediatric So
ciety.
Shell Shock Treatment.
Instead of food, under the new treat
ment, the newborn are given a she'll
shock treatment, and in all cases re-
duced to not more than per cent. The
treatment is reported by DR.. I. Newton
Kugelmass of New York City.
He gives the babies solution of 6
per cent gelatin, per cent dextrose
and half of per cent of table salt. with
plenty of water The mixture is given
every two hours throughout the "a
hour cycle for the first three days after
birth
We have obtained better results" he
says. treating newborns by the admin
lStratiCn of this solution for the hrSt
two days after birth rather than by the
offering of artificial feeding during this
time.
In other words, the solution treats
the symptoms of birth shock and pre-
pares the baby's tissues to function
normally, whereas the mere feeding OF
artificial formulae cannot correct these
disturbances universally the first days
of life.
Loss Sanctioned Universally.
And the solution, though less caloric
than feeding. nevertheless reduces the
loss of weight in the newborn to the ir-
reducible minimum.
This loss is sanctioned universally
1t is period of semi starvation during
the first few days of life that is too
Stupefying to be ignored, too debilitat-
ing to be physiological, and too pro-
longed to be sacred law of nature
"A century ago Claussins was the first
to record the characteristic loss in
weight of the newborn, and such is still
being recorded apparently without queS-
ton
"Postnatal loss in weight does not OBJ
tain in animals. Animal species of all
sizes, of all scales in evolution. receiv-
ing no scientific supervision after birth
or Matching appear to thrive either i'm
mediately or at the utmost after the

HONOLULU, April 4. QN.S0
No woman will sit in Judgment as
Grace Hubbard Fortescue, Amer
ican society woman, goes on trial
with three men today for second
degree murder. Women are not
eligible for jury duty in Hawaii.
The absence of women from the
panel, however, had no effect on
the confidence of Clarence Oar
row, chief counsel for the defense,
in the outcome of the trial.
His answer to the question
whether women would not be more
sympathetic and fair to Mrs,
ForteScue than men was:
women are more cruel as
judges of their own kind than
men.
"The wider experience of an
average mans life gives him
more tolerance and understand
ing than possessed by women.
women make less intelligent
jurors. Men are bad enough,
but women are worse. Intel
ligent persons, anyhow, try to
evade jury service.

nothing to do with jurieS be-
