when buried in the dirt floor.

the laws Of the District of Colum-
bia by suing for an attachment be-
fore judgment, he says.
In the answer filed by attorneys,
Milton King and Bernard Nord-
linger, the facts concerning the
petitioners residence are disputed
in an affidavit which AYERS that
the petitioner has lived in New
York city, Flushing, L. l., and in
South Bend, indiana, since the &C
count matured.
The motion will be argued Tues
day.
The largest District tax, levied
under the local liquor laws, was
paid yesterday by Milton Kron-
helm. former Judiciary Square
bondsman now conducting his re-
stored wholesale liquor business in
the 1900 block Fourteenth st.
Mr.. Kronheim, whose liquors are
drunk by lawyers as a matter of
loyalty as much as for their ex-
cellent quality, turned over slight
ly more than $4,000 in taxes to
the District, as an indication Of
the business he has done since re-
peal became effective.
Elmer Cummings, alert cashier
at Municipal Court had the
young lawyers worried this week.
Mr.. Cummings was admitted
to the bar and then it began to
dawn on the young attorneys
that here they would probably
have a worthy foe in the courts
and at the same time would
lose the counsel and advice of
the cashier, who has told many
of them how to comply with the
peculiar rules Of that court.
Their worry is all for naught,
however. Mr.. Cummings. has
seen too many Of his suffering
brethren growing gray during the
past few years and he will not
begin to practice actively until
things pick up a little.

operation Of a revolving fund,
combining first and second mort
cages where equities are sound,
the situation would take care Of
itself, it is said by well-informed
realtors.
Millions of dollars Of private
capital, now frozen in short-term
mortgages, would be releaved
again to aid the demanded activ.
ity.
The Government would not then
be competing with private indus
try.
But the Government would then
be able to show what can be done
with long-term paper, providing
gradual amortizations over a Pc
riod of years and eliminating the
second trust.
Business here is picking up, how.
ever. Last month the Shannon
Luchs firm announced that Feb
ruary hat. been it's best month in
four years.
Now they say that March was a
better month than February.
Herbert Shannon has been too
busy to go down to Holly Shores
to fix up that seashore place Of
his, and has only been able to play
one afternoon Of golf out at Co.
lumbia.
]. Merrill Connor, who recently
opened his own plant in the In
vestment Building after gradual
ing from Caywood Brothers and
Garrett, feels he selected the right
time to open up ION his own"
His business in the first Today
period justifies the opinion, Mr..
Connor says.

however, is beyond question.
Friends of the Administration
are beginning to admit that most
relief measures and methods have
fallen short of expectations in the
past year and are beginning to
hope that the President will
realize that construction is actually
the basic fundamental Of all in
dustry.
A housing shortage Of from
100000 to 100000 homes actually
exists in the United States at the
present time.
Two million men would be
employed directly and indirectly
on the construction of this mum.
ber Of homes. The labor bill
alone would amount to nearly
$500,000,000 and $125,000, 900
would be spent for labor employed
in transporting and distributing
the materials needed for these
houses.
Don LOTUS, head Of the Home
and Community Builders National
Association has made a detailed
analysis Of the entire industrial
possibility.
'Tt would take 4,335, 100000
bricks for these houses; 435,OOO
carloads of sand and gravel;
$4,000 cars of lumber, and
other materials that would re-
quire a total of 1O,723,OOO trucks
for their delivery.
These houses would require
112,OOO,OOO panes of glass; L.
100000 kegs of nails; 100000
bathtubs and 4,5O0,O0O doors"
So there is concrete evidence
that building activity would give
the necessary stimulus to indus
try where artificial aid, applied in
other directions, have failed.
It brings up another question
however. What about vacant
homes existing at present?
To this question the answer Is
given that such vacancies, for the
most part are in homes of a
higher price class than the one
in which the shortage exists.
Secretary Ickes has figures
taken from 43 cities, representing
q fair cross-section of the country,
in which 81 builders have appli'
cations for 1928 new homes for
employed families having $7,827,.
900 ready to put into the initial
payments on homes in the $4,000
$500 price class.
This particular price class of
homes, somewhat higher in this
city, has never been overbuilt, &C
cording to economic experts.

provide some means of taking over
all short-term paper thr ougt

Of all the strange defenSeS
offered in a Police Court trial,
the strangest was presented to
Judge Isaac R. Hit last week
and it was completely successful.
Benny Chesavoir, who has paid
many fines into the court cof-
fers, had been locked up by a
policeman on a drunk charge.
Bertrand Emerson passed by the
dock while Benny was awaiting
trial, and the latter called him
in conference.
When the trial began, the
policeman told of having found
the defendant sitting on a door,
step. The latter spoke with diff
ficulty and kept holding his
chin in his hands, the officer
said.
The defendant, placed on the
stand by Mr.. Emerson, then said
he wasn't drunk; he was holding
his chin in his hands and
couldn't speak plainly because
he had the mumpS.
BY that time, the appearance
of the prisoners jowl furnished
sufficient corroboration, and
Judge Hits judgment was pro-
nounced without deliberation.
A District Supreme Court in
junction suit, recently filed and
answered, furnishes a strange and
unusual situation.
Clarence Jacobson, through Har-
old Shaller as his counsel, has
asked the District Supreme Court
to restrain the woodward &
Lothrop Department store from
proceeding with the levy Of an at
tachment before judgment on his
Toledo. Ohio, property.
Jacobson claims that he has
lived in the District during the
time since the account with the
department store matured, and
should have been sued in the place
of his residence instead Of in Ohio.
The local store is seeking to evade

We Heartily Agree

Speaking to the Bridgeport Kiwanis Club this week Harry J. Ward, sGcertary of the Connecticut Petroleum Industries committee declared that (. the motorst is entitled Co the benefit of q reduced reg istration fee without compensatory tux being placed on him through added gaso. line taxes. .. ." That isn't lowering the taxes of the motor car owner. It's simply shifting the burden. He takes less out of the right pocket, but more out of the left. It's tho same solution Co the home owners problem. His real estate tax would be cut by lcVying a state income or sales tax.
 MT Ward had many interesting things to tell the Bridgeport KlWanians Wed like to have him speak to more of our civic clubs in Connecticut, before the Lcgisla- turc convcnes next January Connecticut is to get Il lower registration fee. We have been assured of that by COmmiS- si0ner of Motor Vehicles Michael A. Con- nor. But it will be attained only by raiB- ing gasoline taxes Co make up the differ ence. lps only simple arlthmctical prob. lem to see that this is no solution of the difficulty.
 IL is Il well known fact that rcgistra. ti0ns in Connecticut in the first four months of 1884 were greater than in the previous year. That also meant more gasoline taxes. It is well known fact that our registration fees are the third highest in the United States. Conversely 1. our gas taxes are the lowest. It would 1. seem as if there could be some reduction !. in the former without touching the latter. {. At least that is what the average motorist ! Is anticipating. He doesn't want tO keep {. paying as much annually as he does today '. In maintaining an automobile
 Z Rather than force many cars into gar Z ages for long periods of the year by con s tinucd high taxation we would resort tO 1. some of the prctexts that MT Ward ad- !. vised. He suggested shifting the date of annual registration from January l to 2, four or six months later. IL would D bring, it is estimated, 30 per cent n- crease in the number of cars used the entire twelve months. In addition no re. funds would be granted for plates turned back before twelve-month period had ended. This is forcing the riding public to adhere to 4 twelve month riding pro- gram but we'd prefer 1t to no decrease in motor taxes at all.

We Offer You Congratulations

Waterbury Is to be congratulated upon
 the acquisition of such q fine radio br0ad-
 casting station as the initial program of WATR yesterday proved 1t to be. Nothing
 was lacking so far as could be ascertained
 from the programs that were offered
 throughout the day. From an entertain ! ment standpoint nothing more could be asked than was igven to all radio listeners !. in Waterbury and vicinity. From q me. chanical end the same might be said, too, , were we qualified to speak as an engineer, but merely qualifying as q listener we can i say that reception was perfect.
 To the officials of WATR most of the credit must go for bringing to this city such station that can prove SO valuable an asset to the community. As was stated in the Waterbury Democrat the other :. night the city rather brides itself on being center unsteady. No better opportunity is now afforded Co acquaint the rest of the state with local talent than through the microphones of WATR. But more than that the entire cultural and educational life of the town can be benefited by such station as will offer it's listeners only the best
 One day of broadcasting has certainly proved that Waterbury can take its place with other cities boasting radio stations. We are now on the map so far as the air waves are concerned, Let us hope that the first day will only be an introduction to many more of as high caIbre. There is much work ahead for the officials of WATR. We presume they realize that full well. But certainly the greatest obstacle has been met and surmounted namely, putting up the broadcasting station and getting out the first days program, in- cuding gala show from the stage of the Poli Palace theatcr. Again we offer our congratulations and our sincere hopes for q successful future.

Deadly Chemical


 War.makers will doubtless be interested in . phenomenon which occurred recently in Michigan chemical factory. Two workmen were handling liquid long con- sidered harmless. One was cleaning g clogged tube. A few drops of the liquid spattered on his bare skin. He collapsed and died before anything could be done for him. A little later another workman was taking samples of the compound when drop fell upon his bare arm. He died in five minutes.
 Skilled chemists set to work at once to solve the mystery. It Is realized that appearances may be deceptive, and the men may have died from causes not connected with the substance in question. But that would be at least very remarkable coin cidence. Military authorities interested in poison gas, liquid fire and kindred delica- cies will hardly overlook this promising opportunity! If one drop of that liquid upon the skin is sure and quick death, what q bonanza it would be to the mli- tarlsts A war plane raining down such destruction could kill multitude in one sW0op.

Mr Commoners Speaks

Regardless of forms and titles in govern ments the common people of the world are the actual rulers in all lines of activity, political, social or moral, and, while they, too, often allow their authority to be usurped by kings and politicians, they oc- casionally reassurc mankind by emphatic assertion of their power. Current cvi- dence of this fact follows the efforts of the Catholic church in the United States, supported by other denominations, to dis. courage indecent moving picture films. Millions of church gocrs have responded to the pulpit appeals and Hollywood film producers are holding frantic meetings to lind ways of meeting the situation.
 It is customary tO blame playwrghts and producers. writers and publishers.
