All OF these measures were long

1t Is unfortunate that the selec-

ignored until the hour OF grief. The
relatively simple task becomes a
distressing burden. Every family
should be spared this ordeal BY
selecting the plot and O. family
memorial with the same sensible
foresight and economy which
prompts us to provide insurance
and TO make our wills. You should
urge your friends and relatives TO
avoid this distressing experience by
selecting the plot and family mem
orial in advance of need. In the
confusion and emotion which comes
with sorrow II Is impossible TO con-

portant factors. II your family plot
has been selected under conditions
which make a careful study impos-
sibie, then the cemetery will readily
change the location. applying the
cost Of the original site to the new
lot.
The ideal cemetery Is neither a
public park nor a st~one-yard, man
agement of the local park points
out. Trees and shrubs alone do not
make a cemetery. They cannot
adequately nor permanently ex-
press our personal sentiment and
devotion Conversely. memorials
alone cannot make the cemetery
beautiful. Landscape and memorial
art must be so balanced and CO.
ordinated that there will De an
A1eal fusion OF Gods art and mans.
Throughout the nation, there is a
concerted effort on the part Of
cemeteries and memorial crafts
men TO attain this ideal. All OF
these ends are being worked to-
ward by management OF the local
association.
Rarely does the lot-owner realize
the cost Of developing and main
tanning a modern cemetery. OBJ
viously, each lot must carry its pro-
~portionate share OF the original cost
Of land, developing. grading, drain
age. water systems. roads. fences,
bridges. buildings. ornamental lawns
and paintings trees, maintenance
equipment together with wages,
salaries. depreciation, requirements
and other administration expenses.
These expenses are destined to 90
on indefinitely after all revenue
from the sale Of plots has termin-
ated. Hence the price OF each lot
In the local cemetery includes not
only an endowment for general
are OF the lot. but also q substan-
tial sum for maintenance OF the en-
tire cemetery In perpetuity. This
perpetual care Is provided IN the
original purchase price. and there
are no additional charges for main

CARRY
I To GROUND
ON LADDERS
Others Jump From Windows
Or Flee Across Roof in
Harvard St. Blaze

An 18-year-old girl was the
heroine Of a fire that early today
drove 16 people from a residence
in the 1400 block Harvard st. NV.
The girl. Nellie Liverett, was
awakened by smoke pouring into
her bedroom at S o'clock. She
ran screaming to other rooms and
awakened everyone before making
vain effort to turn in an alarm
over a dead telephone.
Seven of the 16 persons were
carried down ladders by firemen,
while others escaped by jumping
from windows or to the roof of an
adjoining house.
Telephone Useless
The fire. which is believed to
have started from an overheated
furnace. was discovered by Miss
Liverett and Miss Dorothy Va
caro-, 20, sleeping in room on
the second floor. Miss vacarro
was carried from the smoke-filled
building by firemen.
Miss Liverett, after awaking
others, fought her way to the first
floor to call the fire department,
but found the line burned. She
ran to the street and neighborS,
attracted by her cries. sounded
the alarm.
Others carried down ladders by
flremen were Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Liverett, both so, and their 49,
year-old daughter, Elsie. They
were occupying room on the
second floor, but were unable to
escape by the stairway because
of heat and smoke. Mr.. and Mrs.
Curtis Liverett and their 1-year-
old daughter, Joan, were carried
from another second floor room
by firemen.
Escape Over Roof
Sleeping on the third floor
were Harold Efird, Is, and his
cousin, Robert Liverett, 3. Har.
old managed to carry his young
cousin to the roof and handed
him to an adjoining roof to a
neighbor.
w. K. Liverett, who occupied
another third floor room with his
wife and two daughters, Alice, 10,
and Dorothy, 8, led his family to
safety across the roof when they
were unable to reach the STAIR
way.
Mrs. Frances Brigham jumped
from a first floor window to a
court in the rear of the building
with her year-old daughter, Dor.
othy Jane.
A second alarm was turned in
soon after the first firemen ar
rived and the blaze, which was
confined to the basement, was not
brought under control for nearly
half an hour. Damage was esti"
mated at more than $1,500.

DRY AIDES
CARRY CUSTER
To COURT
Supreme Bench Hears Action
for Injunction Against
Treasury Dismissal

Fourteen hundred Alcohol Tax
Unit employees facing dismissal
from the Government service De.
cember /, carried their fight to
save their jobs to the District
Supreme Court today.
One of the employees, Paul
Sarlo, of Brooklyn, N. Y, on be.
half of the 1.400 others similarly
situated, petitioned the court for
an injunction to restrain Secre-
tary Of Treasury Henry Morgen-
thau, jr., from dismissing him
and from carrying out a proviso
enacted by Congress as a rider
to the Emergency Appropriations
bill last June.
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat
signed rule giving the Treas
ury head until next Monday to
contest issuance of a preliminary
injunction.
Took Examination
Through Attorneys Samuel r.
Ansell and Edward S. Bailey, the
plaintiff stated that in March,
1927, prohibition unit field en-
ployes were required to be &C
cepted by civil service standards.
Mr.. Sarlo stated he took a COM
petitive examination and was ap-
pointed to the service in February,
1929.
The bill recited how employees
of the dry unit were bounced be-
tween the Treasury Department
and the Department of Justice
during the waning days of prohi-
bition and declared an executive
order of June, 1888, "separated'
them from the service only to see
them "reinstated" the following
August.
Under the terms of the proviso
in the appropriation bill, the
suit stated, former dry agents
and similar employees were threat
ened with loss of their jobs De-
cember l unless they took a civil
service examination. The suit
avered that conflicting opinions
on the proviso have been rendered
by Attorney General Comming
and Comptroller General McCarl.
Notified of Dismissal
Mr.. Sarlo stated that since he
had passed competitive civil ser.
vice examina ton, as had hundreds
of other kindred employees, he did
not take the recent examination
for Alcohol Tax Unit employees.
AS result, he has been notified
that he will be dismissed from the
service December /.
The suit contends that the pro-
viso forcing the recent examina-
ton is contrary to and in collision
with the organic civil service law.
The suit contends that the tax
unit employees, who already have a
civil service status as a result of
a competitive examination, should
not be forced to take another ex-
animation.

Says:

For once, the weather man
may be right in predicting the
severest winter in years. From
the way it started off, we may
get a chance to wear our "twO
pants" suits simultaneously.
The stores report that the
sudden cold snap caused q boom
in the sale of fur coats. That's
the spirit, girls, get your Christ

Washington, of course, doesn't
suffer quite as much from the
cold as other cities. Just about
the time winter sets in, Con-
gress comes to town and starts
"steaming" things up.

Parole System Is Seen
AS Bar to Justice

serving slightly more than two
years of 1O-year sentence. In
this case Col. William L. Peak,
superintendent of Lorton, specific
ally noted in the record that he
was opposed to a parole for Dono'
van, on the ground the prisoner
was a poor risk"
Against the opinion of Colonel
Peak was pitted the strong recon-
mendation of Capt. N. M. Bar
nard. superintendent of District
penal institutions. The board in
this case followed the advice of
Captain Barnard.
After an application for a pa
role has been made, a complete
record of the prisoners history, in
cluding his social background
number of arrests, and attitude
towards his superiors, is placed
before the Parole Board. No no
tice of the hearing is given the
public against which the prisoner
has committed his offense.
The public is authorized, how
ever, according to the rules of the
Parole Board, to protest the pro.
posed grant of a parole. Few com.
plants of this nature are lodged
with the board, however, since the
application for the parole in most
instances is not matter of public
notice.
Board Has Final Power
The Parole Board is a complete
authority in itself, and even the
Supreme Court of the United
States is not empowered to over
rule it's decisions, according to
Wilbur La Roe, jr., member Of the
board.

BY EUGENE A. KELLY

Notification of many functions
of courts in instances of punish
ment meted out to hardened
criminals was seen today in the
disclosure of the rules and regula-
tions of the Board of Indetermi-
nate Sentence and Parole.
At the same time Commission
ers Hazen and Allen today plan
ned to open an investigation of the
facts surrounding the parole of
James BUZZ" Donovan.
While society, represented by
courts and judges, may ostracize a
criminal for a certain number of
years, it is not consulted when
the prisoner seeks his freedom by
parole.
All sessions before the Parole
Board are held behind closed
doors. Neither the officer who
made the arrest nor the District
Attorneys office, which prose
cuted the case, nor the judge who
passed sentence is consulted when
a prisoner applies for a parole.
Prisoner Heard Alone
Except the prisoner who is max
ing application, no one is per
mitted to be present at the parole
hearing before the board of three
members.
Recomr" endations that a parole
be denied the prisoner are some
times completely ignored, as in
the case of James "Buzz" Dono,
van, who recently was released
from Lorton Reformatory after

FOWLER s AIDE
RESIGNS POST
IN DISTRICT
Matter of New Health Officer
Causes Speculation as
Or. Schwartz Quits

DR.. Edward j. Schwartz, assist
ant Health Officer of the District
of Columbia, with 80 years SER
vice behind him, has resigned.
The resignation has not been
accepted nor officially made pub
lie, but it is understood that it
was rendered to the Commission
ers because he is aware that in
the shake-up likely to occur fol-
lowing the retirement of DR.. Will
liam c. Fowler, on November "a,
he will receive no consideration
in the matter of promotion to
the post of Health Officer.
DR.. Schwartz's letter of resigna-
ton was forwarded by him last
Friday to Commissioner Hazen
who returned it to Health Of
ficer Fowler for comment or ex-
PLANTATION, as the letter did not
state the reasons for the resigna-
ton.
Allen Has Letter
DR.. Fowler has been off duty
for a few days and the letter
Is supposed to be now before
Commissioner George E. Allen, to
whom the Health Department re-
ports.
DR.. Schwartz did not comment
on the resignation today except
to admit that he had written it
and presented it to Commissioner
Hazen.
Meantime the Commissioners
are not completely in agreement
on the successor to DR.. Fowler,
whose age requires that he leave
the service November "a. The
latest possibility is that COM
mittee composed of the heads of
District of Columbia Medical
Schools, and including Admiral
Cary Grayson, be appointed to
select a health officer. That sug.
gestion has not been agreed to
by the Board of Commissioners.
At the same time there persists
the rumors that the United States
Public Health Service would like
to have a hand in the Districts
health department.
Several Want Post
There are several trained health
officers in the United States
Health Office who would like to
be transferred to the District
Building, it is said; and there is
one close friend of Surgeon Gen.
eral Cumming who is said to be
an active candidate for the posi-
ton.
These candidates are all trained
in public sanitation, while some
of the physicians who may be
put forward for consideration
are not versed in the science of
public sanitation.
The fact that there may be
new deal at the Treasury De-
partment, following the appoint
ment of Miss Josephine Roche as
assistant secretary of the Treas
ury with jurisdiction over the
U. S. Health Service adds to the
rumors about the city today con-
nected with the Federal and Dis
trict health officials.
Cumming May Leave
It has been said that Surgeon
General Cumming may be removed
or transferred, all of which has
a bearing on the District health
service if the plans of certain
Federal officials carry through.
