HOW to Get Loans

Will Withhold $4,000 From
Payment to CataIano Until
Workmen Are Paid

The Catalano Construction Cor
poration of Baltimore today was
successful in continuing it's con-
tract for the construction of the
Phelps Vocational School, Twen-
ty-fourth and H Streets North
east, despite recommendations Of
William w. Bride, corporation
counsel, that the contract be
cancelled.
According to its own estimates,
the firm had underpaid some of
it's workmen to the amount Of
about $4,000 in violation of the
Davis-Bacon prevailing wage act.
The District Commissioners de-
cided to withhold $4,000 from the
payments to the company and
will release this amount only
when it has been ascertained
that the claims of the workmen
have been settled.
On two previous occasions the
Commissioners have agreed to
extend the time for meeting these
claims. The last of the agree
ments expired last Friday.
No expiration date was fixed
for the agreement made today.

MRS. BROWN AND CHILD
Identity of Family Brings
Joy to Washington
Taxicab Driver

For the first time in his life,
Clarence Shisler. 80, of Alb Sec
ond st. S. E., knows his correct
age, the identity of his family
and his life'S history prior to 6
years of age.
The explanation is simple. He
was sent to Children's Society
Home at the age of 6, thereby
losing contact with his people.
According to Shisler, who is a
taxicab driver in washington, he
was born in or near Circleville,
Ohio, 80 years ago. At the age
of he was sent to a "home," "
from which place he was adopted
by Mrs. Lottie Robertson, OF
White Haven, Md. He said:
II stayed with Mrs. Robert
son until / was IL or 13 years
old, then I ran away to find
my family. I went to Ohio,
but couldn't locate them, so
came back East and got a job
in Baltimore cooking ON a sail
boat"
Shisler appealed to a relief Or
ganization for aid in locating his
family. On August 18, the first
letter came from his sister, Mag
gle Brown, of Circleville, Ohio,
saying:
"I cried when I heard the
glad news that you were alive
and safe. May God spare our
lives SO that we might live to
see the day when we will meet"
In his sisters letter, Shisler
learned that he had four BROTH
ers and two sisters of whom he
had never heard, while there were
three brothers and one sister
whom he remembered,

FOREST CAMPS

Fresh vegetables from their own
gardens and flowers from their
own flower beds adorn the. mess
tables, at the Forest Conservation
Camp at Beechy Bottom, Bear
Mountain, N. Y, according to a
report received at the War De-
partment today.
A newly-built swimming pool, a
handball court, volley ball court,
all of their own making, are
among the recreation features en-
joyed by the men.
The recent storm did not pre-
vent radio reception, the report
says, because the Army had pro-
vided all the camps in New York
and New Jersey with battery sets.
Baseball sets for two teams; sets
of horse shoes as we'll as boxing
gloves, add to the enjoyment of
the camps.
