Better Business Bureau DireC-
tor Asserts Codes Carry Out
Aims of His Group

"COdes Of fair competition
under MIRA have made q real
contribution to truth in ad-
yertising and the improvement
of business practices which are
making for increased public
confidence in legitimate bust
ness and the thwarting Of un'
fair business practices"
This was the statement today
of Louis Rothschild, director OF
the Washington Better Business
Bureau, in discussing the National
Capital Blue Eagle Week cam
paign.
Public Interest
Pointing out that his bureau Is
cooperating with the NRA and
the various code authorities to
bring about complete compliance,
he said the general public also
has a vital interest, for unfair
competition is equally as hurtful
to the individual as it is to the
legitimate competitor. He added:
For years the Better Business
Bureau has been working con-
structively for improvement Of
business practices and cOmpeti-
tive conditions. The NRA codes
have embodied provisions which
are in accord and reiterate the
policies upon which the bureau
is founded. Bureau managers are
proud to have assisted in the
drafting of these standard pro-
visions for truth in advertising
which are in several hundred
codes.
"In Washington the mere
adoption of the code resulted
Immediately in improved ethical
and advertising conditions. Com
pliance work has further brought
about material improvement and
these advances on the battle
front of business decency are
meeting with hearty applause on
the part of Washington business.
men the large majority of whom
have for some years desired some
means Of aggreSSively strengthen

In seeking the cooperation of

The Takoma Park liquor cases
were decidedly suddenly today by the

Fights DUN Case
In Court, Wins
Acquittal

Stanley Mock, %, of Herndon,
Va, may not have an LIB. after
his name but he can success
fully defend himself in any
court.
This was the opinion held by
spectators at the Fairfax county
courthouse yesterday when
young Mock won himself an
acquital on an arson charge
He was charged with help
ing to burn a dwelling near
Hunters Station, Va, last
spring. Turner Snyder, also Of
Herndon, is under indictment
for the same thing. The pris-
oner calmly watched the selec-
ton of jury much older than
himself, and cross-examined all
of the witnesses presented by
the prosecution. He then took
the stand in his own defense
and convincingly denied taking
part in the fire. A not guilty
verdict was brought in almost

SHORTAGE
SEEN AS FIRE
PERIL HERE
Chief Schrom Cites Chicago
Stockyards Ruin in Plea
For District Needs

With the Districts fire depart
ment at low ebb of efficiency
with respect to it's mechanical
equipment, there is grave danger
of q cut in the already scanty sup
ply of hose, according to infor'
nation which came from the Com
missioners' budget hearings at the
District Building today.
For two years the surplus of
hose has been dwindling, accord"
ing to Chief Engineer Schrom.
S2S,5OO For Hose Asked
Chief Schrom asked for $28, 500
in the forthcoming budget to build
I'D the hose supply. He explained
to the Commissioners that he
ought to have $4,000 feet and
that he is down to 100000 feet.
A few months ago he ordered
1900 feet, but the price OF hose
has practically doubled under the
MIRA.
There is a current appropria-
ton which will purhase about the
same quantity, but it will be sew
eral months before the hose can
be supplied,
Cites Chicago Fire
Present indications are that the
department will get no more than
$4,000 or $4,000 for new hose.
Chief Schrom said today:
"Fire protection needs indi-
cate that we should have all
the hose I have asked for. We
are not adequately protected
against the possibility of a great
cOnflagratiOn. Look what hap
pened in Chicago at the stock
yards fire recently"

DRIVERS
ON INCREASE,
CHIEFS TOLD
Expert Urges Uniform System
of Determining Whether
Autoist Is intoxicated

Drunken driving here has in
creased AZ per cent since repeal.
Such is the estimate of DR..
Theron w. Kilmer, surgeon Of the
New York State Police Chiefs AS
ISOLATION, here to address the In.
ternational Association of Police
Chiefs at their convention at the
Mayflower Hotel.
Intoxicated drivers have in
creased 425 per cent throughout
the nation. he further estimates.
There are only two kinds of au-
tomobile drivers. he told the con-
vention, those who are sober and
those who are drunk. There is no
hallway point, he asserts.
Uniform System Urged
Probably the greatest difficulty
in dealing with drunken drivers
lies in lack of a uniform method
of determining when a motorist
is actually intoxicated. DR.. Kilmer
said. Every State differs in its
handling of drunken driving
cases. This lead to confusion in
the courts and the nolle PROSE-
of thousands of cases, he said.
The ideal method, DR.. Kilmer
told the delegates, is to have a
police surgeon summoned to ex-
anime every driver suspected of
being drunk. The surgeon, fur.
thermore, should be provided with
a record card on which he would
record the prisoners mental,
physical and verbal reactions.
Another remedy might be to
make it impossible for judges to
accept the lesser plea of reckless
driving from defendants accused
of intoxicated driving, Or. Kilmer
believes.
Traffic Head Talks
Sidney Williams, director of the
public safety division of Chicago's
national safety council, urged
adoption of uniform traffic signals
and signs throughout the country.
Deaths from automobile acct
dents have increased 20 per cent
already this year as a direct re-
suit of increasing the speed Of
traffic and of repeal, he said.
DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald,
District coroner, explained how
police can better cooperate with
their local coroners.
Delegates today await word
from the White House as to
whether President Roosevelt will
be able to address them before
the convention adjourns late to-
morrow.
Following adjournment at noon,
delegates will take sightseeing
trip to Catholic University, the
Monastery and Soldiers Home.
Tonight they will attend local
theaters.
