Ironically enough, one of Col
leane's favorite hobbies is max
ing movies of circus life which he
has known since he was years
old. Occasionally, he sets up a
screen and looks at them but this
is rare.
Colleane is a lover of the
fine things of life, but he cannot
forget for an instant that he is
also a human jumping-jack.

LICENSES
REVISED

Creation Of a new grade Of
amateur pilots license with a
prerequisite of Is hours solo fly
ing was announced today by
Eugene L. Vidal, director of aero
nautics of the Department of
Commerce.
A number of amendments to
the air regulations were an
nounced. one of them that any
person under the age of 81 must
obtain permission from parents
or guardian before being granted
a pilots license.
Another change is that private
pilots will hereafter be required
to take a physical examination
every two years instead of an
nually as at present.

The man who has a pair of
the keenest eyes in the world
cannot use them for the things
he likes best in life.
He must conserve those eyes
to earn his daily bread as a
human jumping-jack.
But this man, Con Colleane, is
rather somewhat more than just
a jumping-jack. He is the only
man in the world who can do a
forward somersault on a taut
wire.
Years of Practice
You doubtless have marveled at
Colleane's act at Ringing Broth
ers' circus here in Washington or
on the stage at the Fox theater.
It required years of lndefatigible
practice as a youth before it was
perfected. But, when his per-
Torrance is finished, he cannot
relax as he would care to. He
must rest his eyes.
Colleane said:
There are two things that

FR|G|D SCHOOL
UNDER PROBE;
50 ABSENT
P.-T.A. Checks Grant Building;
Thermometer Shows Low
Temperature, 66 Degrees

Thirty-three pupils Of Grant
School, G Street near Twenty
second Northwest, are absent
from school today, according to
a survey made by Miss Violet
Offutt, principal, following COM
plants made yesterday Of made
quate heating there.
Meanwhile, as a result Of COM
plants from parents and mem
bers Of civic associations, District
officials held a parley at the
school today in an effort to i'm
prove heating conditions.
Lowest Sc Degrees
At the same time representa-
tives of the Parent-Teachers Asso-
citation were on hand early today
with thermometers to register the
temperature.
j. j. Crane, first assistant SUI
perintendent in charge Of bust
ness of the local schools, made a
personal inspection of conditions
and later conferred with DR.. j.
A. Murphy, Of the District Health
Department..
Mr.. Crane said that there was
sufficient heat in the school this
morning and at 10 a. m. the low
est temperature recorded in any
Of the rooms was 66 degrees.
The highest was 76. He said he
had instructed the janitor to be
at work at the almost obsolete
furnace two hours earlier than
usual.
Teachers Cold
DR.. r. l.. DeSausSure, of the
Health Department, took tempera-
lures at g. a. m. and announced
that no room registered lower
than 81 degrees at that time.
Several, of the teachers COM
planned today Of being cold. Dur
ing recess they grouped around
the few radiators in the halls.
One of them said:
"I wish I could stand on this
radiator to get my feet warm.
1 didn't get thawed out yester-
day until last night when / took
a hot BATH"
Officials told Miss Violet Offutt,
principal of the school, that the
registers would be supplemented
with radiators in the rooms and
that weather strips would be
placed at the windows. New doors
at the entrance will also replace
the present ones.

D. c. OFFICIALS
TURN To NEW
PROPOSAL
Plan License Ban Only Where
81 Pct. of Property-0Wners
Object; Beer Law FoIIoyed

Definitely discarding proposals
for balloting by localities on the
liquor question here, District Off
Gals today are working out a new
method of ascertaining sectional
sentiment with regard to the sale
of intoxicants.
Plans for a local option vote
were opposed by Senator William
H. King, chairman of the Senate
District committee, Immediately
after they had been announced
by the Commissioners.
In addition to Kings disap-
proval, the problem of setting up
machinery for voting and deter
mining definite geographical
boundaries for each section ap-
peared almost insurmountable.
Put Up to Opponents
Under the plan being drawn to-
day, the burden of proof will be
placed upon persons who oppose
the granting of a liquor license.
Instead of requiring the applicant
to obtain the consent of prop
erty owners in his neighborhood
the bill will require those opposed
to the application to present their
own petition.
If 81 per cent or more of the
property owners in a given radius
expected to be $50 or 1000 feet
object to the license and sign Q
petition against it, it will note be
granted. If less than 81 per cent
sign, the license will be granted
if the applicant can qualify.
This plan would be applied only
in residential areas and would not
apply to commercial sections
where the granting of the license
would depend solely upon the
qualifications Of the applicant.
Beer Law Followed
Division between on-sale and off
sale licenses would be similar to
that in use under the present beer
law. On-sale licenses would be
restricted to establishments hav-
ing the serving of food as their
chief business.
Liquor control would be entirely
under the District Commissioners.
Administration of the regulations
would be in the hands of a direc-
tor or board but final decisions on
all liquor questions would be left
to the city heads.
The Washington times., 1933-12-13

the commission, it was said.
1t is understood that several
persons high in Administration
circles are favorable to Miss New
tons appointment.
In the event of her appoint
ment, she would be the first
woman commissioner of patents
since the creation Of the Patent
Office.
The only member of the COM
mission remaining from the last
Administration is Fred M. Hop
kins, also an assistant commits
Sioner.
The new first assistant COM
missioner, although appointed a
couple of weeks ago, has not yet
taken office.

McCarran Raps "0ption"
As "Crime Promoter"

Liquor regulation in the Dis.
trict by local option was opposed
by Senator Pat McCarran CD Of
Nevada, of the Senate District
Committee.
Senator McCarran said:

idea. If communities were given
this option, 1 am convinced
that there would be a great
tendency to promote violation
of the law.
eve would have a situation
here in which dry commune
ties would be surrounded by
wet districts. You can readily
see that such a condition would
be an incentive to violate the
law"
The Senator said he was in
favor of a low license fee and
"dispensation of liquor under
modern regulat ATOMS"
