Protest against the proposed

consideration by the District
Commissioners, was registered to-
day by the Building Owners and
Managers Association of the Dis
trict in a letter to the Commis-

The letter, signed by President
James Med. Shea, asserts that
the association asked for a hear
ing before the Commissioners sent
the bill to Congress but were in
formed that it was practically
impossible" to grant such a hear
ing at present.
Features of the bill to which
objection was registered were the
charging of fees for boiler inspec-
ton where insurance is carried or
where an apartment license is
paid; requirement for inspection
where a licensed engineer is in
charge; doubling inspection fees
on Sundays and holidays, an ap-

SCHOOL WALL
WEAK, 1000
I. |MPER|LED
Street ROped Off to Prevent
Injurie If Mckinley High
Structure CoIIapses

More than 1000 children at
tending Mckinley High School
are endangered daily by a crum-
bling wall surrounding the school
grounds, it was revealed today.
The wall, facing on Second st.
N. E., constitutes such a danger,
it was learned, that the Police
Department has roped off the
street for fear that the wall may
collapse.
This condition, which has main
tanned now for about two years,
is said to have been repeatedly
called to the attention of District
officials by school heads, but no
action has yet been taken to rem
edy it.
Daniel Complains
Earlier this week, Jere ]. Crane,
first assistant superintendent Of
schools, received communication
from F. c. Daniel, principal Of
the high school, urging inmed1-
ate action to correct the condi'
ton which constitutes the dan
ger. The letter said, in part:
"BOth Of us are on record at
the District Building concerning
the condition Of the wall on Sec
Ond Street. I feel, however, that
in view of criticisms that are be-
ginning to come in from the pO-
lice and citizens, we should put
ourselves ON record again, urg-
ing that something be done.
"The sidewalk and half the
street, for several hundred feet,
have been roped off for more
than q month, showing that
the police department is seri-
Ously concerned about this con-
ditiOn. Second Street is a ONE
way street, south. The fact
that half the street is roped off
makes a bad traffic condition.
Wall Cracking
Sections of the wall are crack
ing. it was pointed out, and be-
cause of pressure from the wall,
the neighboring sidewalk has been
pushed out about five inches. The
wall itself is some nine inches OH
from its original line.

BUILDERS PLEAD
FOR HOME AID

Blaming failure of persons to
build homes as a major cause
of delay in return of prosperity,
the building trades department
Of the American Federation Of
Labor today urged an amendment
to the Steagall bill now pending
before Congress.
The amendment would provide
funds for construction of new
homes which is not provided in
the present bill.
In a letter to Representative
Mary T. Norton (DO of New
Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, M. j. Nc
Donough, president of the de-
partment, pointed out that such
legislation would bring employ
ment to millions of persons and
would greatly aid the building
inSNstry this spring.

LIQUOR LICENSE
TAX YIELDS
S524,891
D. c. Revenue Is Above Esti-
mates; Auto Accidents
Below Last Years

LIQUOR licenses have netted the
District $524,891 to date, it was
announced today.
This figure Surpasses the esti-
mate Of 100000 set by Major
Daniel J. Donovan, District au-
ditor, before liquor was legalized
here.
So far there have been 913
licenses issued, 694 retail. 48
wholesale, and I'll for solicitors.
Despite the fact that liquor Is
now legal, there were fewer auto
mobile accidents the first half of
this month than in the same pc
riod last year, George w. Offutt,
chairman of the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board, said.
Records of the motor vehicle de-
partment show that in the first
half of last March there were 1913
accidents, while this year there
were 286.
This shows, Mr.. Offutt holds,
that motorists are careful about
driving and drinking.
The District Golfers will be fur
ther Swelled April / when taxes
on liquor sold this month are due.

DR.. WHITE LAGS
TAKING OFFICE

DR.. Leonard P. White, newly
confirmed member of the Civil
Service Commission, probably Will
not assume office for several days
yet, for in The ordinary routine
the Senate does not notify the
President Of the confirmation
until two executive sessions have
been held thereafter.
The purpose Of this theoretically
is to afford an opportunity for re-
consideration. Thereafter the State
Department prepares a commits
sion for the Presidents signature
and the appointee takes the oath
Of office.
Qualification Of the situation as
to DR.. Whites confirmation means
that the Commission will shortly
function in normal fashion, with
a full board of three members.
DR.. White is 43, a graduate OF
Dartmouth College and a native
Of Acton, Mass. He did graduate
work at Clark, Harvard and the
University of Chicago an d has
taught at Clark, Dartmouth and
Chicago, his field being political
science.
He was an Investigator for
the Hoover commission on social
trends and has been a member Of
the Chicago Civil Service Commis-
sion for two years.
DR.. White is married and has
one daughter. His home is in
Chicago.

Schmidt Reveals Menace at
Calvert Street and Chain
Spans; Survey Asked

Calvert street and Chain
bridges may collapse at any In
slant in the opinion Of z. A.
Schmidt, senior assistant to the
United States district engineer.
Recent demolition Of the anti
quated Aqueduct bridge, which
crossed the Potomac near Key
bridge, uncovered startling weak
ness in the structure, he asserted.
Beams Break
When CWA workers under the
direction Of his office cut away
huge steel beams, and allowed
them to fall Is feet to the ground,
they did not buckle or bend as
expected. They snapped into frag'
ments like so many sticks Of
wood, he said, because the steel
had become entirely crystallized.
Framework Of both Chain and
Calvert Street bridges are very
likely in the same condition and
so, in view Of their age, may
give way at any instant, he de-
c1ared.
Survey Sought
Simultaneous with Mr.. Schmidt's
warning, more than a score Of
citizens association representa-
tives were asking the House Dis
trict appropriations subcommit-
tee to allot $4,000 for an i'm
mediate study of Chain Bridge
with a view to replacing it as
soon as possible.
Major John c. GotwalS, Dis.
trict engineer Commissioner,
when asked about the condition
of the Calvert Street Bridge,
Chain Bridge and Highway
Bridge expressed the opinion that
the structures are safe, with pre-.
cautions that are being taken.
He pointed out that loads
which can be hauled across the
bridges are limited and that the
structures are subjected to rigid
inspection. Calvert Street Bridge
and Chain Bridge, like the Aque-
duct Bridge, are constructed Of
wrought iron, which Major Got.
walls said is considered superior
to steel.

Drink and Dress
Made Easy on
Trains
By GILBERT SELDES

On q Train. Getting a drink
on q train is one of the great
events Of repeal, bringing it
home to you just when you are
going away from home. For
some reason it is far more devil
iSh, far more drinking" than
picking up a whisky and soda at
an hotel bar.
There is still an air Of doubt
and difficulty about it, because
trains sweeping into dry terri.
tory lock up their stock. You
leave Detroit and enter foreign
soil, and no wine card appears
with the dinner menu; in re-
venge, the wine and cocktail
list IS popped before your eyes
at breakfast, this side of Pough-
keepsie, at 8 a. m. A pretty
thought,
In connection with drinking
on trains. I overheard-and it
wasn't eovesdropping at all a
conversation which made me
understand why American wom-
en- have such o hold over their
husbands. A rye drink had
been ordered and the waiter
asked. straight or blended"
':Stralaht," answered the man,
and, loudly, II want to remove
my tonsils." Then he turned,
triumphant to his wife and said,
'That was good, wasn't it?"
And she answered, nobly. THAT
was wonderful" differed with
her about the quality of the
Jest, but I think I understood
the motive Of her reply. That
husband will find himself buy
ing q new hat when he least ex-
poets to.
In q lower berth. I've been
told that q new kind Of upper
berth has been contrived. A sort
Of well at the foot-end, it seems:
when you sleep the berth is
level enough, but when you
want to dress you shove over a
lever, part Of the flooring
drops (not enough far to hit
the person below and you can
dress in comfort, or stand up
in your berth.
Two things about night travel
I have never understood: The
passion some people have for
upper berthS and the passion
many people have about the
discomfort" of dressing and
undressing in any berth.
For the first, one man as
sures me he likes uppers be-
cause he can run around in
them, which Is the only good
reason I have ever heard, al
though I don't believe it.
Comfort Enough
AS for comfort, I have timed
the process Of dressing and un-
dressing. and find that a total
of two minutes for each covers
all the motions during which
space is needed. (If your shirts
are Of the old overhead, or Eng
ISh pattern, add half q min
ute lnore.) It doesn't seem to
me that the grand total Of four
or five minutes is worth all the
moaning that has gone on. Are
we the children Of the pioneers
or the effete Scions of wicked
and luxurious parents?
Grumbling about the accomo-
dationS of travel, from the
street car to the sun deck of a
liner, is supposed to be a sign
Of superiority. It's not a good
one,

vitamins from milk, eggs, butter, etc. only when the doctor pre- scribes it for some particular con- dition should cod liver oil or any substitute for it be given to chill dren over year of age.
 When it comes to procuring the cod liver oil, I should prefer plain crude cod liver oil of no particu- lar brand, but grade reliable druggist sells in bulk. This is available at reasonable cost and believe it is the best. I do not recommend any substitute for plain cod liver oil. In some instances where an older child has great repugnance for the plain oil, the child will readily take a mixture of cod liver oil and malt syrup, so called extract of malt, about equal parts. There are various prepara- tions of this character on the mar ket, if your druggist is too dumb and incompetent to mix them or to sell the two items separately so you can mix them yourself.
 Lately it has been found that halibut liver oil is as good if not better than cod liver oil, but I am afraid the sharks have control of this and the price is artificially maintained. Salmon oil. according to exhaustive tests made by ex- perts of the U. s. Children's Bu- reau, Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, and Yale university medical school. is as good or better than cod liver oil, and besides, children take 1t quite readily. It is highest in Vitamin A content when made from Chinook or Sockeye salmon, the oil showing a reddish cast. oil from other varieties of salmon such as Humpback or Pink and Coho or Silver is paler and poorer in
