CHEST SPEAKERS
GIVEN WORK DATA
Elwood Street Draws on Long
Experience in Talk Looking
to Campaign.

Ammunition for the forthcoming
money-raising campaign of the Com
munity Chest was supplied speakers
last night by Elwood Street, former
Chest director and now director of
Public Welfare.
Addressing a meeting of the Com
munity Chest Speakers Clinic in the
Y. w. C. A. Building. Street drew
from his 20 years experience in Chest
work in discussing the different tasks
facing private and public relief
agencies. He supplied the answers to
questions which he said are asked by
the public every time there is drive
for funds.
Street pointed out, for example,
that the emergency relief division
) of the Department of Public Welfare
cannot give assistance to families
where there is one member working
full time, even though that wage
earner's pay is too small to cover the
family's expenses.
Now it is quite clear" the speaker
said, that there are many families
in which wages are not sufficient to
meet the expenses of many children
and in which advice is highly desir-
able and necessary If the need for
relief later on is to be prevented. We
need private welfare organizations to
render these kinds of family aid and
service which public welfare organi-
cations cannot render.
Obviously, public and private fam
lily welfare agencies should work to-
gether in the closest harmony. That
is exactly what is done in Washing
ton, so that with different functions
there still is unity of effort and
economy in operation"

'0NE NIGHT OF LOVE-
STAY IS EXTENDED

Not content with rich harvest of
eulogies for the best operatic pic
ture ever made, the Warner Bros
Offices have held over "One Night of
Love" for another week at the Metro
politan. Those who have been derelict
in cinematic duty to themselves may,
therefore, seize this opportunity to
hear Miss Grace Moore sing the most
beautifully recorded arias so far pre-
sented on the screen. Tullio Carmi-
natl is an apt and charming foil for
Miss Moore, in the story of young
American lass who wanted to be an
opera star, but was dreadfully bored
by deep breathing exercises.
Grace Moore is tall. blond, viva
cious, the physical antithesis Of most
opera stars. Whether her voice may
or may not be classed with the great
of musical history, she at least is the
most appealing of modern female
singers, and delivers a competent and
satisfying performance every time she
attempts score. Her songs IN One
Night of Love" Ga shrewdly leading
title which has nothing to do with the
story range from the Habanera from
Carmen" to Buccini's "Un Bel d1
Vedremo," the latter a number so
adroitly staged and sung that dewy
"eyes have it" at every show. Virtu-
ally all the musical score is popular
and familiar "One Night of Love"
will make the arias all the more so.
The, narrative concerns lass who
lost a radio addition contest, deter
mined nevertheless to study in Italy
and prove the judges were wrong.
There the greatest of living voice
teachers heard her singing in cafe,
took her as pupil and attempted to
keep heart complications out of it for
the sake of her career. Pursued ar
IDENTIFY by a young American swain,
who tempted her with the flesh pots
rigors of operatic training, she sue
cumbed to the lure of a role in the
Metropolitan against the advice Of
her tutor.
Attacked by stage fright as she is
about to 60 on the stage, she RECEIVERS
when the maestro shows up in the
prompter's box and guides her through
'Un Bef" Fadeout. Lyle Talbot is
agreeable as the american suitor,
Mona Berry plays the feminine men
ace to Carminati's peace of mind, and
Louis Alterni should be credited with
an excellent characterization as the
maestro's assistant.
The Metropolitan this week offers
its usual supplementary program Of
shorts, comedy and the double
length newsreel. r. B. p. JR.

NEW USE REVEALED
FOR VIOLET RAYS.
Disclosed as Antidote for
Snake Venom and in
Painting Pictures.

Two new and unusual uses for
ultra violet rayS-as an antldote Tor
snake venom and as an aid in paint
ing invisible" pictures-were described
to the Optical Society Of America last
night.
The venom from cobras, rattlesnakes
and copperheads loses much OF Its
potency when subjected to the rays for
10 minutes. according to David I.
Macht, pharmacological research
scientist of Baltimore.
Macht found by experimentation
with mice that the rays were helpful
only when applied Immediately after
the poison injection and before The
blood absorbed the venom.
In other words the victim OF a
poisonous snake would have to re-
ceive his wound next door to an ultra
violet ray machine to profit by the
discovery.
Explains Painting Method.
How he developed a new method
of painting through the use Of ultra
violet rays was explained to the
society by Charles Bittinger, Wash
ington portrait painter and scientist
Mr.. Bittinger, who recently COM
pleted one of his invisible murals on
the walls of the Benjamin Franklin
Institute in Philadelphia, demon
strated the new art to the audience
by painting in colors which showed
fiat gray tones under normal lights
and turned to blues and reds and
yellows under the ultraviolet rays.
The invisible" pigments contained
elements which gave them vivid colors
when subjected to ultraviolet rays.
This method" Bittinger said,
gives modern artists q whole new
collection of pigments that the old
masters did not have" The speaker
added that they provide new color
harmonies not found in daylight"
Gives An Illustration.
Mr. Bittinger illustrated by paint
ing a portrait Of Benjamin Franklin
before the audience. The outlines oi
the completed sketch were not appar-
ent until the ultra violet rays re-
vealed the whole thing in vivid color
Another speaker at last nights
session, held at the Bureau oi
Standards, was DR.. F. G. Pease OF
the Mount Wilson Observatory. who
described some of the technical prob
lens involved in construction of the
worlds largest telescope.
The three-day convention was Il
close this afternoon with the election
of officers.
1t was expected that A. C. Hardy
the organizations vice president
would be named president to sue.

Justice Department Agents
Report No Developments
in Investigation.
NEED OF NEW SYSTEM
FOR RECORDS is SEEN
Fines Being Audited as Part OF
Yearly Routine-0peratives
Check Bales of Data.

Inquiry by Department of Justice
agents into the affairs of Police Court
went forward today, but so far as is
known there have been no new devel-
opments beyond the already disclosed
allegations of irregularities In bond
ing prisoners and keeping the bond
ing records straight.
A separate inquiry, conducted by
special committee of the District Bar
Association into alleged improper and
unethical alliances between lawyers
bondsmen and miscellaneous "flxers'
of Police Court cases, has failed to
reveal any tangible evidence, it was
said today.
Testimony Weak.
This committee, under the chair
manship of Henry I. Quinn, was re-
ported to have nothing in its posses
sion stronger than hearSay evidence
some of it from convicted criminals
whose testimony would not be con-
Sidered Weighty enough by the com.
mittee to be used as a basis for any
complaints against the lawyers in
volved.
The real problem before the Jus
tice investigators, it is said, is to de-
wise system of keeping records which
will leave no doubt as to whether g
prisoner has made bond or has paic
the fine assessed against him by thu
court. In the present system, hi
record is principally the "informa
ton" sheet filed against him, anc
should the sheet be lost, even acci
dentally, it is practically impossible
to trace his case.
Fines Audited.
The fines paid into the court ar,
undergoing their annual auditing;
routine matter not connected will
the investigation into the alleged ir
regularities into the bonding proceed
ure.
The three special investigators look
ing into possible irregularities will b.
at work several weeks more. durin.
which time bales of records KEEP
under the present system, dating bacl
to 1928, will be checked. Their rec
omendations for criminal action, i
any, will be turned over to the distric
attorney for grand jury action. Will
their report on proposed changes II
the system will go to Judge Gus A
Schuldt, presiding justice of the Po
lice Court.

ALLEY DWELLING
CLEANUP SURVEY
TOBEG|N MONDAY
Hazen and IhIder Hope to
Decide Where to Launch
Project.
EXPERIMENTAL WORK
TO BE TRIED FIRST
Two Inhabited Zones Will Be
Chosen as Guide to Use of
$50o,00O Fund.

Seeking to start the cleanup of
Washington's alley dwellings at the
earliest possible date, Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen and John Ihlder,
executive ofhcer of the Alley Author
1ty, will make personal inspection
Monday of number of Washington's
inhabited alleys.
The purpose will be to arrive at
least at a tentative decision as to
where the first reconstruction pro-
gram should be started.
Hazen said today it was probable
that two Inhabited alleys, in different
sections OF the city, would be Sc
lected for the first operations. He
thinks it would be the wisest plan to
stage something of an experiment in
the case of two or three of the prop
critics as guide to the best plans for
the reconditioning of all. He believes
this would be better than to start
projects in all of the inhabited alleys
at one time.
S50O,0OO Available by Act.
The work was made possible by
enactment Of the Capper- Norton act,
which made available a sum of $780,
900 for alley clearance. High Govern
ment officials believe, however, a much
larger sum will be needed to do a
comprehensive job.
Hazen, who is head of the Alley
Authority. explained that there are a
number of possibilities in the revamp-
ing OF the alleys. The present dilapi-
dated residences might be rebuilt TO
make them modern and sanitary,
coupled with plan of converting the
alleys into minor streets, providing
exits at either end of the present
closed alley. Small apartment houses
might be built to replace the present
dwellings, or garages or other COM
mercial structures might be built,
either to be offered for sale or rent.
Another alternative would be to con-
vert the property into Fairgrounds, he
said.

Of y. S. Attorneys Requested

urged the Commissioners to issue an
order prohibiting lawyers in the Dis
trict service from engaging directly or
indirectly in private law practice.
A number Of members Of the cor
poration counsel's Office now handle
private law practice in cases where it
does not conflict with their ofhcial
duties or with legal positions taken by
the District government.
The request was made in letter

the association, in q letter to COM
missioner George Z. Allen. who super
vises the legal department.

I Gertman said:
81 think the matter deserves recog-
milton by the Commissioners, owing
to its importance not only to the
municipality itself, but to the prac-
ticing lawyers on the outside who are
under expense in maintaining their
practice.
"a lawyer in the employ of the
municipality necessarily neglects his
official duties while undertaking to
represent litigants on the outside"
Gertman said that some time ago
the directors of the Bar Association
recommended committee be ap-
pointed to call on the Commissioners
