Once an instructor in the Naval

a pint of blood for his dying
boy.
This was the plight faced today
by a father, whose five-year-old
son is in a serious condition in
Garfield Hospital.
The youngSter is suffering COM
plications arising from an infec-
ton of scarlet fever. Because of
the numerous hemorrhages aris-
ing from his illness, the young
sUer must have blood-and he
must have it quickly.

Word of the child's plight was
first received by the Disabled

Arthur Reilly and friends of the

D. c. DYE PRICES
ABSENT IN CODE.

Price-fixing in the cleaning and
dyeing business in the District of
Columbia and three States does
not figure in the code adopted for
the industry, because the District
and those three States have been
slow in making their own de-
cision as to prices and submitting
them to the NRA.
The purpose of price-fiXing un-
der the code is to eliminate un-
fair competition. Prices thus far
incorporated in the code agree
ment have been approved by Gen.
Hugh S. johnson.
So far as the cleaning and dye
ing business is concerned the
country is divided into 800 dis
tricts, each of which is supposed
to set it's own scale of minimum
prices. Thus far, such scales have
been received for 2l2 of these dis
tricts, and these are included in
the code.

Federal and city projects in

Administration will put almost
5000 men to work in the District
by the first of the week, under
plans now Undertaking..
The Interior Departments quota
of 5000 jobs under the local CWA
allotment will be filled by Mon

Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of local parks.
Eight hundred men already have
been put to work under F'innan,
and he expects to have the re-
naming 1900 on the job by next
week.
Varied Projects
Finnan's projects include three
swimming pools, surveys of Rock
Creek Park, Anacostia Park and
the Mount Ternon Boulevard. The
latter is in connection with the
Capitals siX-year highway con-
Struction program, and there also
are miscellaneous park improve

Meanwhile, District officials
were moving to get $500 men to
work tomorrow. Lack of material
and trucks have handicapped the
placing of approximately 1000
men at work on highway projects.
Efforts are being made to over.

8 POOLS ASKED
IN D. {. PARKS

Construction Of three large
swimming pools in the District by
CWA workers is under considera-
ton today by c. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent Of National Capt.
tai Parks.
The pools would be built at
Bannecker and Takoma recrea-
ton centers and in Anacostia
Park, at a cost of 100000.
They will be ITS feet long and
100 feet wide and, if possible, adj
mission would be free.
The pools would be of cement,
and would be provided with ade-
quate pressure filters offices and
modern equipment throughout.
But one obstacle stands in the
way of the projects reaching the
CWA board, Finnan says, and that
is the question as to whether or
not the pools can be completed, as
the law requires, by February Is.

his mother. The family, who lives
in the 100 block New Jersey Ave,

Irony of Charity
Doctors at Garfield Hospital to-
day pointed out one of the
strangest ironies of hospital char
ity work ever brought to light.
Maintained in fine order with
the latest scientific equipment by
the Health Department of the Dis
trict, charity patients at the hos
pital receive the best attention.
But there is no provision in the ap-
preparations to the hospital for the
purchase of blood.
The patient must rely wholly
upon blood voluntarily offered.
This procedure, doctors say, is I'M
wieldy and is the cause of much
waste of precious time. Voluntary
blood donors must be teSted-and
sometimes it requires hours to
find a type of blood that will
match that of the patient. The
professional blood givers on the
other hand, have already Been
classified.

RADIO TO COMBAT
COPYRIGHT OWNERS
Broadcasters Prepare to Produce
Own Music and Avoid
High Royalties.

The battle Of words about music
which has ragged for several years be-
tween broadcasters and Tin Pan Alley
has reached an impasse, and the radio
folk have embarked upon project to
build up their own reservoir OF music
and program material in competition
with the present powerful combination
Of copyright owners"
Although negotiations for amicable
settlement Of the controversy have not
been formally closed, the broadcasters
feel there Is no further hope and have
definitely organized their own Radio
Program Foundation The National
Association OF Broadcasters insists that
the demands of the American Society
Of Composers, Authors and Publishers
for royalties are exorbitant, while the
society has refused to recede from its
contention that the rate scale now In
force is fair and equitable.
There Is talk Of litigation against the
society as an alleged illegal monopoly:
Newton D. Baker, former Secretary OF
War. was retained last January by the
N. A. B. to represent the industry in
any legal fight that he might deem ad-
visable. While no formal suit has been
filed, it Is known that a case is being
prepared Moreover, 1t has been in
dicated that the Department OF Justice
and the Federal Trade Commission also
are inquiring into the society's organi-
zation to ascertain whether it operates
in restraint of trade.
Meanwhile, however, the N. A. B. has
completed the organization of its pro-
gram corporation and is now negotiat-
ing with independent song writers and
copyright owners for production OF
music exclusively for radio. At an
organization meeting held in New York
fortnight ago, Alfred j. McCosker
president Of the N. A. B., was elected
chairman Of the board Of the corpo-
ration, and Oswald F. Schuette was
elected president and operating head
! Joseph C. Hostetler, law partner of Mr.
Baker, was named treasurer, and Philip
G. Loucks, N. A. B. managing derector
secretary. Ultimately, this organiza-
ton hopes to relieve broadcasters from
their dependence upon A. S. G. A. P. fol
music performed over the air The
present contracts with the society dc
not expire until September, 1895
