 The shortage of cash brought a slight increase in wholesale price of foodstuffs and other commod- ities, but there was little immediate reaction Tn retail trade. Pawn shops generally remained opened but did little more than their normal business. Some were forced to close because they lack ed money to loan and almost all were limiting loans. some to as lit- tie as S10.
 Court clerks found that the bank ing holiday frightened their bur dens. Only third of the usual business was transacted because lawyers did not have the cash to pay fees for filing new suits and re- cording documents and could not obtain certified checks.

Archibald McNeii of Bridgeport was eliminated as an appointee to the office Of third assistant post master general according to ad- vices from Washington. D. C., which state that the position has been given to Clinton B. Ellenber- ger, democratic state committee treasurer of Pennsylvania.
 The reason for McNei's noa- appointment is said to be because Connecticut, which had given it's electoral votes to the republican ticket, had been given patronage by the endorsement of David A. Wilson of Hartford, democratic state chairman, to the office of United States district attorney.
 McNeil is reported to have in- formed President Roosevelt and Postmaster General James A. Far- ley that he was willing to step aside to offset any cries of par- tiality. He was regarded. how- ever. as by no means out of the patronage picture.

Of TEACHERS
OPPOSED
Civic Federation Wants STAN
dard of Education Kept As
Hiqh As Possible

Exemption of employees recelv-
ing less than $1,000 is advocated by
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton in the event county salary
cuts are deemed essential. =,
This policy was brought out at
the meeting last night in Bethesda
where the federation reatt1rmed
its stand opposing salary cuts in
the schools. It urged that II
teachers and others in the lower
SALARY brackets must be cut, that
this be done at a lower ratio than
Tor those in the higher brackets
and that in view of the cut al
ready given school janitors, they
De exempted entirely.
It also urges that at least the
minimum standards of school
study and administration be main
lltained as defined by State and
local educational authorities and
the continuance of special teach
ers and subjects which it has
been proposed to eliminate.
Recommendations by the H.
nance and budget committee pre-
esented by Frank B. Severance were
sapproved. They call for the re-
placement of the disbursement
committee by a comptroller; re.
sduction Of the county board OF
commissions from seven to five
or less and abolition of all pub

JAM KILLS GAS,
.. MERGER BILLS

With less than 80 hours re-
naming in this last lame duck"
session of Congress, many i'm
portant District bills, including
the measures for a gas tax in
crease and consolidation of gas
companies, are certain to go "by
the boarl' in the Senate.
The flood of national legisla-
ton is so great in the waning
time that there is no possibility
that the District legislation will
be enacted before the hour Of
noon tomorrow when the session
comes to a close.
" The gas tax bill, one Of four
additional levy measures reported
by the Mapes committee Of the
House more than a year ago,
originally provided for an in
crease of 2 cents in the present
2-cent tax.
The Senate District Committee
amended the bill to provide for
q 1-cent increase.
The gas company merger bill
would permit consolidation OF
the Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the Georgetown Gas
Light Company. The Hartley
boxing bill to permit amateur
boxing in the District will also

MEAL PRICE DIP
IN HITS CAFES

What a difference four years
make.
Take this restaurant business,
f'instance.
Four years ago, when Hoover
was riding the waves, everything
was lovely and the goose was
high-in the restaurant business.
Nowadays, everything is lovely,
so far as a grand rush on the
restaurants goes, but the price OF
geese, chicken pot-pie, and all
comestibleS are down so low
"there amt no profit in it,"
Everybody ordered dessert and
everybody tipped the waiter
when Hoover was inaugurated.
Now hardly anybody orders des-
sert. And, as for the waiter,
times have changed.

MUSEUM GETS
RARE BIRDS

A bird that whistles like a
human being is now at the
Smithsonian Institution, one Of
the many rare geological specl-
mems just received from South
west Africa.
The bird, a variety of shrike,
was collected by Mrs. L. o. Sor-
dahl, wife of the former director
of an astronomical observing
station on a high mountain top
in Africa maintained by the instl-
tuition for three years.
Mrs. Sordahl collected 27 va
rieties of birds, seven of which
are new to the United States Ma
tional Museum, and two of which
are entirely new to science.
In addition to the whistling
bird, she also found species
which, instead of migrating north
and south with the seasons as
most birds do, travels up and
down-up to the top of the noun
tainS in the hot weather and to
the mountainSide during the win
ter seasons.
