 These were the major casualties
 the Old Guard suffered in the fall Iof 1892. There were others, such as Glenn of Illinois, Bingham of Connecticut and Thomas of Idaho, Iall Republican stalwarts.
 Next year another section of th, Old Guard must face the elector- ate. What will happen to them? Glance down the list of those | that are up for reelection in 1884. There are F Republicans, IA Demo- crats and one Farmer -LaDorite. Heading the list is Austin of Vermont, as solid in his -Republi- canism as the granite for which his state is famed. There's Fess of Ohio, Republican keynotar at the Kansas City convention in 1928. Hale of Maine, who occupies the seat in the senate his father once had, is another. Dr. Hatfield Of | West Virginia must run.

 wisest of them are waiting for the

KING DEMANDS
BREAD BOOST
Be PROBED
Senator Calls on D. c. Heads
For Action; Consumers
Council to Meet

Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, today de.
manded an investigation of the
"unwarranted" bread price in
crease in the District.
The Senator called on Corpora
ton Counsel William w. Bride
to institute an investigation to
determine if the rise of l cent
put into effect last week IS war
ranted.
Scents Conspiracy
He also said he will speak to
the District Commissioners to
urge on them an investigation of
the price boost.
The boost in the price, which
was ordered in two leading chain
stores in Washington and several
individual bakers, should be
probed, the Senator said, to de-
termine if there is a conspiracy
among the bakers to raise the
price.
The Senator himself said that
he felt the price rise was "un-
warranted" Several weeks ago,
when the first one-cent boost was
put into effect, he expressed the
same opinion and urged an in
vestigation at that time.
Council Calls Meeting
Determined to prevent profi-
teering under the wings of the
Blue Eagle, an executive board
meeting of the Consumers Coun-
Gil of washington has been called
for tonight to investigate rising
bread prices in the Capital.
Mrs. Mercedes Boyle, chairman
of the council, who called to-
nights meeting, asserted the ad-
vance in the price of the 16-ounce
loaf of bread by one cent is dan
gerous to consumers and bak-
cries.
The council will probe the
question of whether the increased
price is essential.

pretty nice, but most of all, with
one exception she likes aesthetic
dancing. Several of Washington'S
noted dancing teachers have given
her lessons and she expects to
keep up the art.
Best of all the things she likes
to do now, though, is to visit her
aunts, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Berry and
Margaret Hillingas, at their home
in the 200 block Ninth st. S. E.,
where she is visiting at the pres
ent time and at every available
opportunity during the summer.
Prepares to Teach
While she hopes to attain a
career as a dancer, Lucille does
not place all her irons in one
fire, and she is "majoring" in
physical education so that she can
teach that subject if it becomes
necessary. Not only will her
swimming and dancing stand her
in good stead in that vocation,
but she is an excellent basketball

MATE THRILLED,
WIFE CHARGES

Suit for absolute divorce on
accusations of misconduct was
instituted today by Mrs. Bessie
Berman, 1900 block Thirteenth
St. N. w.. in District Supreme
Court against Daniel Rerman,
100 block Ninth st. N. w.
After four years OF married
life, the wife related, Berman's
affections grew colder and colder.
He began staying out late nights
and later seldom spent any OF
his leisure time at home.
In December, 1882, the wife
related, she left her husband
after hearing he had been un-
faithful and, confronting him
with the accusations, he ad-
mitted what she had heard was
true. The parties were married
in Baltimore, February /, 1927,
and have one child.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 28.-De-
termination on the part of
Mrs. Gertrude Hasslinger Walker
to make a man pay for a meal
he had eaten in her restaur-
ant last night caused about Is
customers considerable con-
sternation.
She told police a man who
gave the name of William
Schaeffer, 80, of Lebanon, Pa,
couldn't produce IS cents to
pay for his dinner. She OBJ
tanned a pistol, held all the
customers at bay and, accord
ing to some of the customers,
locked them in the store de-
spite their offers to pay for
Schaeffer's dinner. Then she
called police and Schaeffer was
arrested.
Two men, who told police
they agreed to pay for the din
ner so they could leave the
store but were turned down.
decided to become witnesses
for Schaeffer.
Mrs. Walker said she wanted
Schaeffer arrested as a matter
of principle-to teach people
they can't walk into restau-
rants and order meals for
which they cannot pay.

She is a beautiful dancer. Last
week she won five ribbons-one Of

she is a little more than real,

more than gifts. They represent
the refusal of a child deaf and

CA7ALANO CASE.
DECISION SOON

Whether or not the Catalano
Construction Company will be
permitted to keep it's contract for
the construction of the Phelps Vo-
cational School for the District
probably will be acted upon to-
morrow by the District Commis-
sioners.
A conference has been sched-
uled for 2:30 this afternoon be-
tween Corporation Counsel Will
liam w. Bride, Dominic Catalano,
construction company head; Will
liam F. Kelly. counsel for the
Globe Indemnity Company, the
bonding company which under
wrote the contract in question,
and Alfred Stern, attorney for
the bricklayers who it is alleged
were paid less than the prevailing
wage scale.
Bride has recommended can
ceiling the contract.
Two extensions have been
granted the Catalano firm to
the bricklayers for the difference
permit it to meet the claims of
in the amount paid them and the
amount they should have re-

unpaid.

Not Faring SO Well
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

WaShlngton'S Navy 4ard WILL
fare better than those of other
cities in the immediate future, at
least in connection with the naval
construction program developed
under the Public Works Admins
tration.
Some $500 persons are en-
ployed here now, there are none
on furlough, and the outlook is
that 1000 more will be at work
before many months have passed.
Funds for the shipbuilding pro-
gram are now available, and work
is actually under way, but it will
be some time before the results
are apparent in the field.
Five-Day Week Cuts Pay.
All navy yard workers are sub
ject to the so-called five-day
week, which has reduced their
earnings considerably.
This condition, it is expected,
eventually will be ameliorated.
In New York, reductions in
force are still being made. There
were employed there in June s.
147 workmen, who averged $3.50
a week. Now the number is g.
070, and the average pay is $23.-
IS. A rotative furlough is in
effect there, whereby 48O men
are off duty daily. This means
they lose about one day in six.
Although the availability of pub
lie works funds will make itself
felt in some places within two or
three weeks, other yards will not
benefit for from four to six
months.
Employment Rises Here
The local yard manufactures
guns and other appliances that do
not. need to wait upon ship de-
signs. Consequently, employment
is already rising here and will con-
tinue to rise for some time, in the
opinion of N. P. Alias, of the In
ternational Association of Machin-
lists.
In the New York yard, 1,946
employees now earn less than $25
a week, and 261 are on indefinite
furlough. Conditions are even
worse in Boston, Philadelphia,
and Portsmouth.
The Pacific Coast yards, Mare
Island and Bremerton, are faring
better because they are getting
the repair work of the fleet, which
is now stationed in the Pacific.

the location of ship in distress that must be
towed in. The flying boats cruise on an aver
age of 100000 miles a year and cover an area
almost as large Continental United States.
In the event that Coast Guard plane should
be forced down at sea, by use of its specially
designed radio finder it can establish its po-

out to assist it.
Life saving at sea is as old as the human
race. And strange it may seem" life saving
as humane practice was organized by the
heather Chinese" centuries ago. Europe
never took up the practice as an established
one until the Royal Humane Society Of Great
Britain came INTO existence in 1774
The first Lfeboat is credited to one Lionel
Luken a coach builder of London. In 17S5
he built lifeboat that was used successfully
to save life from the sea.
Life saving from the sea had its inception
in this country when the Massachusetts, HUI
name Society founded. This in 1785.
The society interested itself in establishing
"houses of refuge" along the coast and few
years later, used lifeboats. Congress entered
the picture in l847 with an appropriation Of
$4,000 for aid to shipWTecked mariners. The
following year the appropriation was in
creased to $4,000 Stations were established
along the New Jersey coast and elsewhere. In
1850 life saving got its first baptism of use
fulness. That year. in January, the emigrant
ship Ayrshire stranded off Squam Beach, N. j.
No rescue could be effected by boat, but
line was shot out to the vessel and 201 lives
were saved by means of life
The Coast Guard life saving stations as we
know them today had their beginning in 1871.
They follow the shore line of the Nation. And
how busy they kept may be gathered from
the statement that more than 600 reports OF
assistance came into Washington headquarters
during the month August And of these
over 200 showed that human lives In
peril.
