r,o.4;o ra1,;cioro ~ voo1.4iosoe NJ

BY International News service
Drastic revision Of portions Of
the retail merchants code was
expecteu as assistants and advisers
of Deputy Recovery AdminiStra-
ton Arthur D. Whiteside today
began a study of the evidence,
presented at the public hearing
during the past three days.
Among the expected changes is
the rewriting of the section on
unfair trade practices" It is
expected the provisions dealing
with price wars, misleading ad-
vertising and other widely prac-
ticed trade tactics will be ampli-
fled and clarified, if not made
even more stringent.
A majority Of the witnesses tes-
tifying on the unfair trade prac-
tice provisions either supported
the proposed strict regulation of
these matters or urged further re-
StrictionS.
Provisions of the code must be
changed to permit some form of
local enforcement units to be set
up under NRA supervision.
1t is expected the re-drafting of
the final code cannot be accom-
plished earlier than the last part
of the next week.

AIDE
MUM ON GUT
Of FORCE
Reports Say Married Women
Face Custer; Labor Due
To Voice Protest

Reports today that a reduction
of force would be made shortly
in the Adjutant Generals office
were met by a statement from
the chief clerk that there was no
information to give out and that
nothing had been determined.
The current reports were to the
effect that all the married women
employed in the Adjutant Cen
erals office would be dismissed
It was estimated that there are
about 80 employed there.
Funds Used Up
Secretary of War Dern some
time ago, in discussing personnel
policy, said he thought there
would be a few removals in the
War Department. It is under
stood the present situation is due
to the exhaustion of an appro
priation which was expected to
run for another year.
The work for which this ap-
preparation was made was the
bringing of War Department
records up to date. Some of the
employees of the Adjutant Gen.
erals office engaged in this
work were said to have had a
temporary status. but the con.
templated removals of married
women were understood to be
based on the mandatory provi-
Sions of the law, without regard
to the temporary or permanent
status of their work.
Protests In Prospect.
It was indicated that the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor and the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees will protest any
plan to reduce the War Depart
ment's force, on the ground that
reduction in consumer purchas-
ing power at this time should not
be countenanced by a Federal
agency.

Much Photographed Capital Pictured
From New Angle by Geologists
Chart Shows Earth
"SIiced Through"
at District

Washington has been photo
graphed from the air, and from
almost every conceivable angle
from the ground, but probably no
queerer picture of it ever has been
made than that hanging in the
central wing of the Interior De-
partment'S fifth floor.
The picture is painted on cloth
and shows a cross section of the
/ earth's crust from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, via Chesapeake
Bay and Washington.
It shows the Nations Capital
and other cities as they would
look if a huge knife cut out a
slice of the earth. Different COL
ors show rock deposits and major
features of the geological forma-
tons.
A legend is printed across the
chart, naming important cities,
rivers and mountain ranges, while
a table beneath explains the geo.
logical features. The picture,
which is IS feet long and
feet high, was prepared by geol-
ogiSts and craftsmen in the Geo.
logical Survey.
Starting from right to left the
low-lying Atlantic Coast gives
way to Chesapeake Bay, then
Washington with its underlying
deposit of carboniferous rock,
and then the Appalachian Noun
tain range.
From there one glances west at
Mississippi, Kansas, Colorado, the
Rocky Mountains and finally the
West Coast and the Pacific.
CruStal Movement Shown
In addition to the carbonifer-
GUS deposit, far beneath Wash
ington'S streets, lies some myste-
rious phenomenon depicted by
the geologists by black, dag
onal line rising toward the Blue
Ridge Mountains. On each side
of the line lies an arrow, the two
pointing in opposite directions.
This reveals the tendency of
cruStal movements.
The map draws the eye and
attention, of even a casual visitor
to the survey offices, to the vivid
colors used to show the location
of various deposits compelling at
tention.

Virginia Finds
Convict Won't
Stay Put

Virginia prison officials are
nearly prepared to issue a
standing escape" notice on
Walter Bayliss, Accotink, Va,
who won't stay where they put
him.
Bayliss, under a two-year man
slaughter sentence in connec-
ton with the death of a Wash
ington colored man in an auto
accident near Pohick Church,
Va, last year, was first judged
of unsound mind and sent to
the State Hospital, at Staunton.
He walked away.
Fairfax police arrested him
at his home a few days later.
They held him in the Fairfax
jail for some weeks and then
transported him to the State
prison farm.
Yesterday Sheriff Eppa Kirby,
of Fairfax, received a telegram
saying Bayliss was gone again.

GOLD HOARDERS
ARE TARGET IN
NEW DRIVE
Cummings Checks Up on
RecaIcitrants; $38,000,00O
Already Recovered
BY International News Service

Plans for new drive to recap
ture the millions in gold believed
to be boarded have been laid be-
fore President Roosevelt by At
torney General Cummings. Oft
threatened prosecutions mean
while are held in allegiance.
Cummings said:
"There will be no cessation
in the campaign. We have been
highly successful in our per-
Sonal check by agents of list
of more than $500 persons sup.
posed to be holding gold. The
result has been rather gratify-
ing, but / am satisfied there are
still a large number of gold
hOarderS, and the amount in
hiding runs into many mill
lions"
During the campaign a total Of
$38, ,765, ,668 has been recovered
from the definite number listed
by agents. Out of this number,
366 have been recalcitrant, Cum
mings said. He appeared hopeful
of change of their attitude, as
actually "only about "A are OUT.
right objectors."
Some Evade Order
More than 200 of the number
claimed to have so distributed
their gold among relatives and
friends that no one of their num-
ber had more than the permitted
$100. A score or more refused to
admit they boarded any metal.
The British American Tobacco
Company, New York, returned the
largest amount, $6,229.24O, in gold
certificates. Among the So-called
recalcitrants is an estimated ST.
393,734, still outstanding.
Cummings said his agents are
checking the obdurate a., to OBJ
serve any change in attitude. He
added:

prosecute where the gold has
been returned"

took one victim who was unable
to free himself from its raging
torrents.
Two Are Missing
In Dorchester county, it was
reported the bridge tender at
Hoopers Island and his assistant
were missing after their shack
was observed floating in the
water half a mile from the
bridge was reported wrecked.
The City of Norfolk, steamer of
the Chesapeake Lines, which went
aground off Pokomoke Sound on
Wednesday, was being towed into
Norfolk.
Trouble crews working "a hours
a day, it was estimated, will take
several days to restore lighting and
telephone service to normal, and
no estimate could be obtained as
to how long it will take to repair
bridges and road sections washed
out by the storm so as to permit
normal highway travel.
Injured in Rescue
Henry Meyer, of Berwyn, Md,
manager of WyncreSt, country
home of Senator Schall of Min
nesota, is in the Senator's home
today recovering from injuries he
received while attempting the
rescue Of two boys trapped in a
barn by rapidly rising water.
When Meyer jumped into the
flood to rescue the boys, he was
struck on the head by a drifting
log. He was rescued and given
treatment.
Wharf Loss Felt
Residents of the Benedict, Md,
section, which suffered it's share
of the storm damage, today were
hewailing the destruction Of the
steamboat wharf there which has
Withstood storms and tides for
SO years. Not only was the loss
mourned because Of the incon-
venience it will necessitate or
because of the cost of a new
wharf, but it was this wharf
where President Roosevelt tied up
his yacht while on a cruise in
July. The people in the section
attached a sentiment to the old
wharf.
Traffic to North Beach and
Chesapeake Beach, both of which
suffered heavy losses. was prac-
tically at a Standstill.
The Patuxent River, which rose
several feet during the night,
flooded the surrounding country
and roads to such degree that
traffic over it was practically i'm
possible.
State Road Commission trucks
are pulling cars through the flood,
although once on the other side,
the motors were almost all dea :.
Waited 3 Hours.
A bus which left North Beach
at 7. a. m. arrived in Washington
shortly before noon, after waiting
at the bridge over the river for
more than hours.
A score of cars were at the
bridge all through the night, on
either side, waiting to be pulled
across. At midnight, however,
the State Road Commission stop
ped pulling cars over.
The Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis Railroad, which
discontinued service for some
time, was operating again today,
but was unable to get it's trains
through to Baltimore.
Trains leaving here can go
only as far as Bowie Road Sta
ton. Eight miles further, at
the Naval Academy Junction,
trains may go on to Baltimore.
The distance between is i'm
passable because of the danger
Gus condition of the bridge over
another section of the Patuxent
River.
Abutments on either end of
the bridge have sunk two and a
half feet and it is not known
whether they will sink any
further.

Auditor Harry w. Gordon has re-
ceived the second distribution of
the automobile tag license money,
which makes total of $18,O52. OF
this sum $11,S29 goes to the town
ships, to be distributed as other

of this motor vehicle distribution
goes for school purposes, or to in.
corporated villages. The intention
of the distribution Of 1t is to make
up the deficit caused by exemption

amounts, since the larger part of
the license plates in Morgan county

A bill to give township trustees a
larger portion of gas tax revenue
was introduced last Thursday by
Representative Fred McInturf,
Chesterhill, in the Ohio legislature.
"My bill will raise the amount given
to township trustees, from $2,40O a
year to $4,000 year. / am taking
this from the states share of the
gas tax / believe it is more es-
sential to give little money back
to the townships to build an ordin-
ary road, that is needed by farmers
who still live on mud roads, than
to build boulevards for a selected
few. A road to suit the needs of
every farmer in Ohio is very es-
sential Township trustees always
build dollars worth of road for
the tax dollar spent" Representa-
tive McInturf said. He has intro
duced bill to levy tax on diamonds,
chinaware, firearms, and on house
hold goods, with an exemption of
$400.
Mr.. McInturf has asked for an
appropriation of $1,000 from the
general revenue fund, to provide
proper care of Big Bottom Park by
the Ohio Archaeological and His
tOrical Society.

Report of High School Inspection
by State Department

board.of Education, McConnelsville,
o.: The Malta a-McConnelsville high
school was visited Nov. 10, 1882, by
G.. H. Reavis, high school supervisor
of this department, and following
our custom Of reporting a summary
of findings to the board of educa-
ton, I should have written you ear
lier in regard to this inspection.
The report was delayed in coming
to my attention.
The high school is well organized,
capably administered, and efficient
ly supervised. The work of teach
ers and pupils is of superior quail
ity. The absence of any change in
high school teachers during the last
three years has given considerable
stability to the program. The COM
mercial subjects and the department
of vocational agriculture and voca-
tional economics give desirable
practical emphasis to the program
of studies. Shorthand and typewrit-

is somewhat handicapped by the
limited building facilities. You
should look forward to the erection
of new building when conditions
permit The vote of the 3-mill
