but he revisited all the points of
the Lincoln Memoir
ial in early evening and watched
Searchlights make magic, white
spire of the Washington monu-
ment at midnight. Nicholas could
have gone to the movies, except
that there wasn't enough money.
In summer he sat on park bench
es, sometimes almost until dawn.
In the winter time he shivered
and shambled along the curb
stones to keep warm.
Athena had her goth birthday,
and there was a celebration with
some gifts - not expensive but
nice. And still there was no en-
gagement announcement for the
Charuhas to make, although boys
still called regularly at the tiny
apartment.
And so one night it happened
that Nicholas and Mrs. Charuhas
quarreled, and the rest of this
story is written on crinkly pieces
of paper, spotted with big, red
seals, in the clerks office at Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court.
In behalf of Mrs. Charuhas a
lawyer filed this statement:
"The defendant would sit him.
self in the parlor, take off his
shoes and socks and attempt to
criticize his daughter in front Of
her boy friend"
Nicholas Charuhas hired law
yer, too, and this is what he
wrote:
During such times as the said
daughter entertained her various
suitors in said living room it was
necessary for the defendant
either to retire for the night or
to leave and walk the steets un-
til such time as he felt ready to
retire. On one occasion said de-
PENDANT remained at home, COM
fortably clad in his bathroom and
bedroom slippers, and enjoyed
himself thoroughly in an attempt
to entertain said young gentle,
man." "'. 80
And so, in attempting to en-
courage a marriage the Charuhas
brought a divorce suit upon them
selves, and, as was said before,

%. Henry should write this story,
It's about the Charuhas family
that lived over on Columbia road,
and very happily, too until
enough years went doddering by
that it was time for Athena to
put her pig-tails up and her dolls
away. Then high school boys
came rapping on the door after
dusk to take Athena around the
corner to see Gloria Swanson,
and Nicholas Charuhas growled a
bit, as fathers will, because his
daughter was using too much
rouge.
Other men got rich or went
broke or died, but nothing of
that sort happened to Nicholas
Charuhas: his salary still was the
same. and ne still kept his family
in the little tworoom apartment
where Mrs. Charuhas and Athena
used the bedroom and Nicholas
slept in the living room
Athena was 10 when boys
started coming to the house in
the evening to see her. And Mrs,
Charuhas made it pleasant for
them with lemonade and taffy
Mrs. Charuhas always said to
Nicholas that she wanted Athenia
to find a good husband and Mich,
olas said that's right, Bessie, the
girl must marry well.

SAY WOOD in HOME
OF HAUPTMANN PART
OF KIDNAP LADDER

BENNINGTON, N. j., Dec. II.
(UP).-A piece of wood used to
construct the ladder with which
the Lindbergh kidnapping was eff
fected was believed identified as
a section of wood ripped from the
floor of the attic in the Bronx
home of Bruno Hauptmann, ac-
cused as the slayer of the Lind
bergh baby.
State officials refused to con-
firm the report, but it was under
stood Arthur Koehler, department
of agriculture expert, had identi-
fed the section of wood as iden-
teal with the wood used to floor
the attic.
A missing board in the attic
was replaced by the section used
to brace the kidnaper's ladder. 1t
fitted perfectly.
1t is believed this was the "new
evidence" referred to last week
by Prosecutor Anthony T. Hauck,
Jr., when he said Hauptmann's
guilt has been proved without a
doubt"

For spectator appealing. players

coaches, the type of basketball
PLAYED in the Rocky Mountains
generally is conceded to be in a
class by itself.
1t has been called the forty
or-no-pay" system 1t does &C
eumulate points.
While the psychological empha-
sis is all offensive, the game is
built on a sound man-to-man,
cover them right where they are
defensive.
EVERY PLAYER A FORWARD
Under this seemingly implanted
system, every player is forward
when his side has the ball. There
are five guards when the OppoSi-
ton secures possession of it.
The chief offensive aim is to
OUTRAGE and disOrganize orthodox
position defenses. Both long and
short passes are used to meet diff
ferent situations.
Since practically every team
has a so-called back guard, we
always have this man deep in Of
fensive territory. When we start
the BAH down the floor we in
variably have one to three men
in vital offensive positions. AS
often as possible long hook-pass
is used to advance the ball two
thirds the length of the floor.
QUICK PASSING
If we get the ball behind the
defense, or so that we out-num-
Der the defensive men by two to
one, or three to one, or three to
two, we drive in to the basket
quickly. If the long pass is I'M
successful, we resort to deliberate
attempts to break through for
short shots. This is done by
quick passing. clever ball manipu-
lation, screening, and feinting.
Plays are set. Principles are
not. Skillful handling of the ball
in the fingers. drastic restriction
of the dribble, great versatility
IN shooting. every player must be
a good marksman, every shot con-
sidered an optional pass, and a
relentless follow-up are vital to
the style of play.
Three very tall men and two of
somewhat shorter and stalker
physique, all with "good hands, F"
fast and possessing stamina to
carry on doggedly for 40 strenu-
Gus minutes, make the ideal team
combination.

LIABILITY
BILL GIVEN
APPROVAL
Committee Reports Measure
FayorabIy in Spite of
Patman's Objections

Overriding objections raised by
Representative Wright Patman
CDO of Texas, the House District
Committee today reported favor
ably on a bill requiring taxicab
owners to carry liability insur-
ance.
The committees action fol-
lowed more than an hour of
heated debate between Repre-
sentative Randolph Carpenter
CDD of Kansas, and Representa-
tive Patman.
Mr.. Patman declared taxi rates
would soar skyWard, that insur-
ance companies would combine
to boost premiums, that the pub
lie would have to bear an added
burden and that 1000 independ-
ent taxi drivers would be driven
from the streets.
Sees Rates Soaring
Developing his argument, he
said:
"NO power on earth can fix
the taxi rate in Washington, and
the sky will be the limit.
"The same holds true for in
Surance rates, and already we
have information that four local
companies have formed a COM
bine to mulct taxi drivers"
He further declared that the
public would have to pay $40 for
increased taxi rates and lawyer
fees for every dollar it received in
actual compensation.
He also predicted monopoly of
insurance trusts would develop
here should the bill be passed.
Bill Defended
In reply Mr.. Carpenter said:
"NObOdy should be permitted
to operate a cab unless able to
assume full liability for any
damage they might cause"
He predicted the legislation
would take a lot of 1928 rattle
traps" off the streets and that
people would be perfectly willing
to pay twice as much taxi fare in
return for full protection.

Lorton, Va. today announced he
he has submitted his resignation

ORDERED

District liquor revenue stamps
in 18 denominations were ordered
today from the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing by the Al
coholic Beverage Control Board.

same size as the new Mothers
Day postage stamps, will be af-
fixed to the sides of the liquor
containers. and each stamp will
be cancelled by stamping the
license number of the purchaser
across its face.

Blind readers will be benefited

Some papers, it was found, were

to the readers fingers. Others

papers were not strong enough
to withstand repeated handling.

BOILING FIELD
PROJECT HAS
SETBACK
Non-Union Carpenters Cause
Trouble; Obtained From
Federal Agency

Bricklayers on job at Boiling
Field today entered the labor con-
troversy that is sweeping the Dis.
trict, walking out rather than
work with non-union carpenters.
A dozen bricklayers laid down
their tools and left the project
when the contractors brought in
several carpenters to replace those
called out on the carpenters
strike.
The only project affected by
the walkout is the officers mess
hall now under construction.
Speed Was Imperative
When the strike was called, OF.
ficers at the field said, there re-
manned some work to be done
that made it imperative there be
no delay.
The contractors, it was said,
went to the United States re-
employment agency and asked
for a number of carpenters. At
this agency unemployed men are
registered and the question OF
union membership does not enter
These carpenters were placed
on the job this morning. When
they reported the bricklayers in
formed the contractors they
would not work on the job with
any men not supplied by the
union. Then they left the job,
it was reported.
Look for Violations
Officials of the carpenters
union went out today to make
survey of a number Of jobs
in the District where it has been
reported there have been viola
tions of the strike order.
District officials sent power

Declares People of Nation Understand What We
 Are Trying to Do"

WARM SPRINGS, Georgia, Nov. 9.-President Roosevelt, with the pronouncement that all is well and that the New Deal is progressing in the present program, particularly for cheaper power, has settled down here for his Thanksgiving visit, having arrived late last night.
 The President said Sunday. in two significant talks, that the New Deal is permanent, and he called for cooperation from "obstruction- ists, few in number, and I am confident we are coming back The experiment for cheap power for rehabilitation in the Tennessee Valley, the President said is "go- ing to be copied in every State of the Union before we get through"
 Gives Ultimatum
 This is interpreted to mean that the President endorses municipal power plants as exist at TIIpelo, Miss, where he made a brief speech yesterday and gave out an ulti- matum to private power companies to cooperate for cheaper rates.
 The President asserted that it is his deep seated belief that the people of this nation understand what we are trying to do and are cooperating They have made up their minds we are going to do it today.
 T see not only hope but de- termination. All is well with the country and we are coming back"
 At Birmingham, Alabama, the President gave assurance of the Administration keenest concern for heavy industries and asserted that obstructionists do not reflect the views of the overwhelming ma- jority of the people"
