Hamilton Has Task
Tommy Hamilton's task at
Navy for the next fortnight is one
of rebuilding. Pittsburgh may
have taken more than the game
back to the fastness of its home
in the hills. Navy had high hopes
of going into the Army game unde-
feated. Not onl was that hope
crushed but there must remain
the haunting, narrowing memory
of a horde of white jerseys that
smothered the Blue line and swept
the secondary zones clear of tack
lerS.
There must remain bruises that
go deeper than discoloration of the
skin. Navy's football players are
boys. They have the prides and
hopes of boys, and undoubtedly
have the same reactions to diSap-
pointments and crushing defeats.
Perhaps that beating may do
something to them that cannot be
repaired by December l when
they face Army at Philadelphia.
These problems rest with the
Navy coaching staff and the result
of the game with Army is some
where back in the hazy horizons
of a fortnight hence. Anything
can happen in that space of time.
Pittsburgh outclassed Navy, and
the score approximates the differ
ence in the two teams. The
Panther roared into scoring gear
with the start of the game, and
five times during the afternoon
made impressive marches down
field. Any outfit to hold Pitt to
one touchdown as Minnesota did,
must be supreme.
Cutters Good Deed
Once, in the first half, Slade
Cutter drove through the Pitt
attack and tackled Nicksick for a
loss. The feat of the big Navy
boy is outstanding in recollectons
of the game for the reason that it
happened so seldom.
The Pitt line blanketed the
Middies. The guards, pulling out
on sweeps and cut-back plays, did
a sterling job at down-field block
ing. The men who remained did
fine work in cross checking on
the openings, and the ball moved
along. In the first period Pitt
marched approximately 143 yards.
registering six first downs, for
two touchdoWns. The longest run
in this advance was "a yards by
Nicksick-and what a halfback
that boy is!
Pitt swung wide with the
guards leading the phalanx, anu
having pulled the Navy defense
out of position, the Panther
backs cut sharply, running over
tackles, to reverse the field IN

Post Leaves to Speak

Andrew M. Howsley. who was made
an assistant corporation counsel in
February through the support of
Representative Blanton of Texas, has
taken a leave of absence to 30 to
Texas to campaign for the reelection
of Senator Tom Connally, it was re-
ported yesterday at the District
Building.
Howsley, native of the Lone Star
State, formerly was actively engaged
in politics there. District officials
said they were not informed as to
whether he also would assist Blanton,
Howsley has departed from the
general practice of District officials
by taking up the gauge of battle in
a congressional campaign. There is
no regulation prohibiting District
workers from engaging in political ac-
tivities, however, such as applies to
Federal employees under civil service.
There is some question as to whether
Howsley will return to his post here, ii
was said, but a definite statement was
not forthcoming. officials merely said
he was somewhat uncertain as to his
future plans.
Howsley's appointment was recon-
mended to the Commissioners by Will
liam w. Bride, then corporation
counsel Sometime later E. Barrett
Prettyman was named corporation
counsel.

KING TO SUBMIT
HOUSING PROGRAM
Prepares to Address Letter
to Commissioners, Offer +,
ing Suggestions. :

Chairman King Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee is preparing to ad-
dress a letter to the Commissioners
some time this week, outlining rec
concentrations and suggestions which
have occurred to him as a result of
the recent report of the Public Utili-
ties Commission on housing prob
lens in Washington. The commits
sion made the report in response to
Senate resolution.
The Senator indicated yesterday
his letter would deal particularly with
the possibility Of improving alley
conditions, particularly in relation to
sanitation, until such time as in
habited alleys can be gradually done
away with under the recent act OF
Congress, authorizing creation of a
$5OO,O revolving fund for the con-
demnation and rebuilding Of alley
areas.
Before he leaves the city in the neal
future, Senator King also plans tc
confer again with members Of the
subcommittee headed by Senator
Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma, which
was appointed to study proposals fol
reorganization of the District govern
ment. and to determine to what ex-
tent the existing municipal organiza-
ton should be changed, or its agencie;
consolidated.
With regard to the alley-housine
problem, Senator Capper of Kansas
ranking minority member of the Dis
trict Committee, recently wrote to tht
Commissioners, suggesting the advisa'
bility of using the general license Law
passed two years age, to license the
business of renting these dwellings
pending the carrying out Of the alley
improvement program, which will takC
a number of years.

RECEIVER ENTERS
BANKRUPTCY PLEA
Seeks to Protect Collateral
Loans of Banks A.
fiIiate.

A dispute between the Treasury
receiver for the Commercial National
Bank and the court receiver for its
affiliate. the Commercial National
Co., Inc, was brought into District
Supreme Court yesterday when the
latter, Ralph B. Quinter. filed vol
untary petition in bankruptcy to pre-
vent the foreclosure of large collateral
loans of the affiliate company by the
banks receiver.
The bankruptcy petition alleged
the receiver for the bank, Robert C.
Baldwin, planned to ask court au-
thority to foreclose the collateral
loans at auction and bid them In at
much less than their real value. The
court was advised that Quinter was
filing the bankruptcy petition to de-
feat this plan.
Affiliate Is Solvent.
In the schedule of assets and liabll-
tiles filed with the bankruptcy petit
ton. it was asserted that the affiliate
company is solvent, having assets OF
s582 $50 and debts of s246,862.
Among the properties of the COM
pany are the Barr Building, the
Union Savings Bank Building, the
Brighton Hotel and the Lennox Build
ing. Under the operation OF the
receiver, it was asserted. these huild-
ings having been virtually 100 per
cent occupied.
In a statment Friday, Quinter said
the loan from the bank aggregated
about $4,000, this being covered
by 100000 in collateral.
He said the bone of contention
between Baldwin and himself was q
suggestion by the former that ne
make maximum bids on the collateral
unless there should be some compeu-
tive bidding, in which case he woulo
bid the full or nearly the full value
Admitted Minimum Bids.
Quinter said he asked Baldwin what
he intended to buy the collateral II
for. and that the latter, referring tc
a first trust note for $4,000, said he
would pay $4,000 or 81 500 for it un-
less there were some competing bids
II told him." Quinter said, that
was not interested in his minimum
bids and that I wanted all or nearly
all the full value.
ct know that he wanted to make
a good showing with the Treasury
Department, but I'm not going to lei
him buy a S2,500 note for $1,000 anc
then foreclose the property. I tolc
him wouldn't stand for it, and that;
why I filed this petition in bank.

The good Samaritans looked at the

CHANCE OF LARGER

IS VIEWED BY KING
Cancellation of Many Con-
tracts Returns Funds

TUBERCULOSIS PLANS
MAY BE PUT THROUGH
Ickes Rescinds $S,000,000 in One
Day-563 Towns Are
Warned.

Cancellation of large numbers OF P.
w A. contracts, where States and mu-
inequalities have failed to live up to
the terms of their agreements, has re-
turned millions of dollars to the ad-
ministration and considerably bright
ened the Districts chances of receiv-
ing a larger share of the S10,750000
works program.
Senator King, chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, said yesterday he felt
reasonably sure it would be possible to
go forward with all four projects pro-
vided for in the District loan law,
namely. the sewage disposal plant, the
tuberculosis hospital, the Galllnger
Hospital addition and improvements
at Lorton Reformatory
Secretary Ickes is prepared at this
time to authorize only the sewage
disposal plant, to cost S8,000,0OO
other P. w. A. officials said the tu-
berculosis hospital has a reasonable
chance" but that the Gallinger Hos
pital and Lorton projects have no
chance whatsoever.
563 Towns Warned.
Through the failure of communities
to live up to their agreements, lckes
has rescinded P. w. A contracts right
and left After canceling more than
S8.OO0.C00 worth Friday, he served
notice upon 563 other communities
that he would cancel their contracts
within two weeks if they didn't full
fill their obligations. The sum in
volved is $158, ,558,517 which, he said,
would be applied to the new pro-
gram. 1t is certain that large pro-
portion of this sum will be turned
back into the general P. w. A. fund,
The fact that steady stream OF
millions of dollars is expected to flow
back into the P. w. A. treasury
through cancellation of contracts, has
changed the complexion of things.
Huge loans are being discouraged and
denied under the new program for
non-Federal projects, and the intent
of the policy, it was said, is to spread
the available funds as far and as
justiflablY as possible.
Repayment Assured.
Equally important however, is the
insurance against the failure of the
District to pay back borrowed funds
contained in the bill the President
is expected to sign almost any day
This legislation provides that 10 cents
of the regular tax rate in the Dis
trict shall be applied to paying of
installmentS of P. w. A. loan;. With
this guarantee that the contract will
be lived up to, it was said tie Dis
trict has an advantage over many
communities which are not sure OF
being able to fulfill all terms of their
contracts.
For this reason, the chance Of Sc
curing a $1,50O000 loan and grant
for a tuberculosis hospital are re-
garded as more favorable.

"Drug Store on EUery Corner" Dates
Back to 1881, When 7 Patents for A ppa-
ratus We're Issued to u. S. Citizens.

Alonzo S. Smith and Justus Perkins.
Both were awarded patents, that of
Perkins being for "a vessel Of tin or
other material to be divided into two
parts by a partition across. A cock
is to be inserted into this vessel, the
tube of which, behind the key. is to
be divided into two parts by a parti-
ton corresponding to that of the ves-
sci, one of the parts opening into one
division and the other into the oppo-
site When the key of the cock Is
turned the fluid flows from each di-
vision and the two portions unite in
the common office of the cock. The
two parts are the one to hold water
and soda and the other water and
tartaric acid"
Close behind these men was George
S. Duffy, a druggist of Alexandria
Va, who was awarded a patent for a
device to draw off by one cock the
liquor from two separate vessels, one
of which contains an acid solution
and the other carbonate of soda"
Still the inventors had not hit
upon what was to make their devices
SO popular for future generation-a
way of producing deliciously colored
and favored beverages that would
draw the dimes of high school girls
But shortly after one Noah H Col
man of MentZ, N. Y. patented a de-
vice described as follows:
I'm one jar put a gallon of Ice
water with eight ources of super
carbonate of soda. in another sever
ounces of tartaric acid with water
Still another jar may contain meac
