Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1933-11-30

A passing tourist car in Gibson
City, stopped on Route 8 by a freight
train, detoured by dirt road over a
rough Nickel Plate crossing; the rear
trunk bounced open, losing few of
its contents, which were picked up
by passing citizen, says a page one
story in recent issue of the Gibson
(Ill.) Courier.
The next day came a letter from
the tourist, en- route through Iowa,
enclosing stamps and asking the Cour-
Ter to advertise for the missing ar
ticles, which were brought to the
newspaper Office within three hours
after the paper was issued. The own
er lived in far away Las Vegas, N.
NJ, and a letter came several days
later expressing appreciation Of the
Courier want-ad service.
I Most valuable of the lost articles
were two tiny toys, one little bench
and the other a wee cradle, both of
wood and stained red. On the bottom
of the bench was written in ink:
"Mary Ann Seidner, born 1859; 1885,"
Three-quarters of century ago those
little toys were priced possessions of
Mary Ann, who little later was call
ed by the master to the land that is
fairer than day.
When Mary AIMS tiny fners ca
ressed those toys the great sweep of
mountains and desert of the West
were but sparsely settled. New Next
co was not admitted to statehood until
nearly half century later. One can
conjecture that she might have lived
some place in the east and that these
trinkets of a bygone day were picked
up this summer by members of the
family who were lured north by A |
Century Of Progress.

T|PSY PATIENTS
REPUZZLE To
MD, POLICE
D. C. Hospitals Refuse to Take
In Intoxicated Victims
of Accidents

Refusal of Washington hospi-
tails to take patients from the
Prince Georges county rescue
squad who are under the in
fluence of liquor, has caused Of
ficials of the squad to bring up
the question of what to do with
an injured individual tn a I
condition.
An example was set last Fri
dav when Henry Pilkerton, Of
Beltsville, was struck by an
automobile on the Was lgton
Boulevard near his home. The
rescue squad was summoned.
Capt. Lawrence Dayton saw that
the injured man was treated for
two fractured ribs, but refused
to carry him to hospital IN
Washington.
Victim Taken to Jail.
Instead, after comforting with
Chief Andrew Gasch, P1lkerton
was taken to the Hyattsville jail
ana placed OIl d COlAAAOA VoOAC WV
in an ante room.
Captl;n Dayton said:
"The man was very intOxl-
Gated and 1 couldn't take him
to a hospital because they re-
fuse to admit any patients OF
our who are drunk.
providence, Casualty and
Freedmen's will not accept a
person under the influence of
liquor"
FEE MUST BE PAID
Both Captain Dayton and Chief
Gasch pointed out that to get a
patient into Gallinger Hospital a
charge of being drunk must be
placed against him at precinct
and he be committed to the hos
pital. This involves a cost of $21,
the officials said, and most of the
cases picked up on the road are
of a charity nature.
An effort to obtain a hospital
or infirmary in Prince Georges
county has met constantly with
opposition, it was learned.
The rescue squad, in cases
where they know that the patient
cannot be admitted to hospital
take him to a physician living
near the scene of the accident.

CITY NOW READY.
To RECORD ANY
EARTHQUAKE
New Seismograph Installed In
Commerce Building Keyed
for Slightest TembIor

Keyed for any abnormal move
men of the earth about Washing
ton approximating the slightest
earthquake, a new Seismograph
has been installed at the Division
of Terrestrial Magnetism and
Seismology in the Commerce
Building.
According to C. C. Weidemann,
editor of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, the development of these
machines is in its infancy and
affords marvellous possibilities"
He said:
Nothing m uch is really
known about the movements of
earthquakes. These machines
fail to adequately interpret the
tremendously gigantic move
ments when they come. AL
though the Japanese claim to
be able to predict the precise
time of an earthquake, doubt
it,"
Progress Seen
Lieut.. Comdr. E. w. Eickelburg,
of the Division of Seismology, eX-
planned that with the develop
ment of cooperative chronological
stations the Interpretation of
earthquakes, their cause and time
can be more nearly ascertained.
A number of educational insti-
tutionS send their records to the
survey for Interpretation, and al
together readings from eight
seismological stations are OBJ
tainable.
The earthquake starts a record
which, after a period long enough
to record the motion, automatic
ally stops.
An outstanding accomplishment
in this field, Mr.. Weidenmann ex.
planned, has been the development
of three types of instruments for
recording strong earth motions.
One type measures acceleration.
another the amplitude of the
earth motions and the periods,
while the third supplies related in
formation. These have already
been installed in Japan, he said.
Aids Builders
The new device has the great
merit of being practical, in that
architects and engineers who de-
sign buildings for earthquake re-
gionS will not have to rely entirely
on guesseS as to the accelerations
during an earthquake. Director
R. S. Patton, of the U. S. Coast
and Geodetic Survey, stated.
Indicating the violence of each
shock, the seismograph moves first
to one side and then the other,
recording the acceleration the in.
slant an earthquake occurs.

BONDS PRINTED
BY HOME LOAN
AGENCY
Officials RedoubIe Efforts
To Have Securities Taken
BY Mortgage Holders

Home Loan Bank bonds are
now being printed at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, and
will be ready for distribution be-
fore the end of the month, it was
announced at the headquarters of
the home loan organization today.
The home loan organization is
continuing it's efforts to obtain
uniform acceptance of the bonds
as replacements of mortgage
loans, and wants the mortgage
holders to regard them as an in
vestment, to be retained to matur-
ity.
The opinion is expressed by
many Home Loan officials that
mortgage holders, in view of the
national emergency, ought not to
feel that they are exempt from the
sacrifices imposed upon the COM
munity as a whole, and that the
loss of l per cent a year in inter
est is a small sacrifice in compari-
son with the loss of a home by a
distressed owner.
It is not a time, these officials
contend, for profits as usual" and
for squeezing the ultimate return
from a mortgage holding, at what
ever cost to the owner of the
equity, and the intimation appears
that where mortgage holders ruth
lessly forecloSe, the way to re-
demption will be made CORE
spondingly easier by amending
legislation in the next session of
Congress-.

Arlington, Fairfax Police Find
No Trouble As Brew Flows
at 1901 This Morning

Beer went on sale legally in Vir-
ginia today for the first time in
nearly two decades.
There were some who waited up
until 1901 o'clock this morning
for an opportunity to buy a drink
Of the 80 brew on Virginia soil,
but the vast majority took the
advent of beer calmly.
The first effect was felt in bor-
der States and in the District, all
OF which have had beer since
April Is. The effect there was
bad, the Virginia trade immedi-
ately dropping off to nothing.
Virginia merchants hail the beer
law as a saving measure for them.
Those close to the border States
and washington said their busi-
ness fell off approximately so per
cent because persons wanting
beer would go where they could
get it and would do other buying
while there.
Arlington and Fairfax county
police and Alexandria authorities
reported no trouble or excitement
when the beer began to flow this
morning.
The return of beer to Alexan-
dria was uneventful. Application
blanks and licenses have been re-
ceived by Commissioner of Rev.
enue Charles H. Callahan and
he is prepared to issue both state
and city licenses tomorrow.
The city council has author
ized the pro-rating of licenses
for the remainder of the year.
Reg liar retailers licenses for the
four months will be $1705 and
the off-Sale license. $8.75.

ARMY OFFICERS
! GAIN BY CAMP

Young army officers assigned
&he task of supervising admins
tration of President RooseVelt'S
Civilian Conservation Corps are
gaining invaluable experience in
leadership, according to reports
received here.
Army officials have advised Mr..
Roosevelt's aides that the young
officers have been brought face
to face with new problems and
forced to meet entirely novel sit
uations in this work. They held
the experience valuable not only
to the officers individually, but,
through them, to the service as
O whole.
Maj. Gen. Paul B. Malone, COM
manding the Third Corps Area
Of the Army, reported:
"Never before in peace time
have so many officers in Junior
grades been confronted with
such varied and responsible
tasks as duty with the C. c. c.
entails.
"All of the problems are met
without the bOIstering back
ground of army discipline and
more often than not without
the convenient technical advice
Of administrative SuperiOrS."
Malone pointed out that ordi-
narily an officer must put in years
Of service before he is in command
< of any considerable body of men.
He added:
y Assignment to duty with a
J C. C. C. company, while in many
respects unlike that of a mill.
j tary organization, does afford
& full advantage for leadership de-
p velOpment where personality
and individual abilities alone

This time, Simpson, who as a

scribed as a Sunday and. holi-
day policeman, speeding at 35
miles an hour on Sixty-first
Street. He hailed his brother
officer before Justice of the
Peace oscar Poore and pre-
ferred charges.
Harris, thereupon, retaliated
and arrested his brother officer
for carrying concealed weapons.
He hailed him before Justice
Poore, who didn't know quite
what to do about either charge.
So, with each policeman
check-mating the other, both
