BITUMuNOUS TREATMENT
OF STATES ROADS

More than 300 miles of graveled
roads have been given bituminous
treatment by the maintenance di-
vision Of the state highway depart
ment in the past six weeks, says
a department bulletin.
Much of this work was on pro-
jects which had been given new
gravel surfacing. The bituminous
treatment will prevent the gravel
from being dissipated by traffic and
the elements, besides making the
roads smoother and dustless. With
out treatment, there would be a
heavy loss Of gravel over the whit
er months.
With the work done in the fall
there will be no delay or inconven-
fence to traffic next spring and
summer.

contest, we could think of nothing
to compare with this trip.
Probably nothing is so thrilling
to a young girl as TRAVEL. Ut is
a most important part of her edu-
cation. Such a trip will give her
something to look back upon for
years with the keenest pleasure.
Indeed this trip is prize well
worth working for. No wonder the
girls already among the contestants
are asking their friends to help.
If the girl you would like to see
win is not already entered, see that
she gets started at once. A vote of
a mere 100 votes is all that is need
ed to put her in the running. You
can get votes with nearly every dol
lar you spend. Ask for them. Look
for the cards in the store windows
telling where votes are given. Get
into the spirit of the thing and see
how much pleasure you will get
from helping some fortunate girl
win this glorious trip.
It is evident from the count, &C
cording to statements of merchants
as to the amount of coupons al
ready given out, that many are
holding back their ballots. This is
not desirable nor profitable to the
candidates, and does not augur
well for the success of the Popu-
larity Election. Let's have all the
votes in for next Saturdays count.
The splendid trip to Chicago, New
York and New Orleans given to the
winner of this contest, as stated be-
fore, will cost the young lady who
is named Miss Sank Centre" not
one cent. It has been stated that
she may leave her purse at home,
and that statement means just what
it says. Even the tips are paid. In
the matter of clothes, besides the
accessories, which we know moth
ing about. it is said that all the
winner needs is a neat travelling
suit.

DAVIS APPEALS
FOR RETR|AL

Motion for new trial for Bryan
Davis, former town treasurer of
Takoma Park, convicted last week
of embezzlement. was filed in Cir
cult Court in Rockville today by
Attorneys j. Bond Smith and F..
Barnard Welch.
The motion alleges errors in the
court rulings, improper remarks
by States Attorney Stedman Pres
colt, and other points of error IN
conduct of the trial.
Because of the illness of Judge
Arthur D. Willard, of Frederick.
who presided at the trial, it will
be several days before the motion
is argued.
Mr.. Davis was found guilty of
embezzling $4,000 in town funds
over a period of six years, from
1927 to 1882.
Judge Willard was brought in
to hear the case when it was
ruled that Judge Charles w.
Woodward was ineligible to pre-
side as he had heard the case
presented in police court.

Quits Corporation

The manager of the corporation
however, regarded Euler's conduct
as a breach of the contract and
formed an intention to discharge
him as soon as he could get an
other driver to take over his route.
On August 81. 1888 the manager
placed a supervisor on Euler's
truck to go around with him as he
solicited and delivered laundry
and Euler. sensing. that he was to
be discharged, quit the corpora
tion's employ.
Euler then went back in the
employ of the Quality Laundry
on the following Monday. solicit
ing and obtaining the same GUS
toners he had been serving while
in the employ of the Dutch Maid
Laundry On the following Wed
nesday the temporary injunction
was obtained against him because
of the provision in the contract
that he would not become en-
ployed by another within one year
after leaving the service of the
party of the first part for the
purpose of delivering laundry to
any person who during the term
of his contract had been GUS
toner of the party of the first
part, nor would he attempt to
solicit said customers on the
route which ne had served.

No Assignment

In his. memorandum opinion
Justice Adkins pointed out that
the original contract, made with
the copartners, which had never
been assigned to tHe1tarporation
provided: - ...~
The" privileges and benefits
of this contract shall extend to
the Successors and assignees of
fhe party of the first part"
= His very interesting observa
tions in the matter follow:
/, The partners conveyed their
business to the Home Laundry, q
corporation. Without formal trans
fer plaintiff succeeded to the busi
ness of the partners. At the time
this trial began the Home Laundry
had the title to that contract anc
was assignee of the partners but
plaintiff corporation was the sue
cessor to their business. 1t seem:
to me the successor was not en-
titled to enforce the contract
When the. formal transfer was
made to plaintiff December S,
1888 the contract had been ter
minated by the act of discharging
the defendant. Therefore 1 think
the Dutch Maid Laundry Inc. is
not entitled to sue under sale
contract.

Business Sold

In November, 1882, the part
n2rs sold their business to an
other firm which was incorpo-
rated under the name of Dutch
Maid Laundry, Incorporated. The
contract which the partners had
with Euler was never assigned
to the corporation, although he
continued to solicit laundry for
the corporation until about July,
1898.
Euler was required to deposit
a certain amount each week as an
indemnity against loss through
credit he extended to his GUS
toners and the credit he was per-
mitted to extend was limited to
80 per cent of his ordinary weeks
collections.
This amount was exceeded to
the extent of $3.50 and in July
1888 the corporation loaned Eu-
ler $3.50 with which to pay the
amount due the laundry as he
was personally liable for the col
lection of his customers accounts.
The debt was to be repaid in
weekly instalments of SIS each.
Euler thought the matter had
been satisfactorily adjusted and
his employment was to continue.

|N|SUSED RICHES
CALLED CURSE

Misuse Of wealth and power
brought about the depression, the
Rev. L. G. Hoeck declared today
at the general conference of New
Jerusalem, held at the Church of
the Holy City, Sixteenth and
Corcoran Streets Northwest.
DR.. Hoeck said:
"The expert economists are
either blind or afraid to speak
out. The main cause of OIlr
present depression is evident to
anyone with eyes to see. The
abuse of wealth and the power
of wealth in unScrupulOuS
hands is quite sufficient to
account for ali these. dreaded
depresSiOns."
The influence of wealth for evil
the speaker continued. is felt even
in the church. He said:
Everyone is aware Of its
menace to freedom of opinion.
1t dominates our legislatures,
courts, newspapers and buSi-
nesses. 1t cOrruptS politics. 1t
muzzleS public opinion. We are
very far today from being free
to say what we please, much
less publish it, without laying
ourselves open to persecution or
OStraciSm."
1t is the duty of the church,
declared DR.. Hoeck, to uphold the
right of judgment.
The conference lunched today
at the Mayflower with the Rt.
Rev. Bishop. James E. Freeman
as principal speaker.

F IN Al TRAFFIC
SURVEY MADE

A month-long study Of traffic
and parking problems of Govern
ment and other employees will be-
gin next week, when a corps of
workers begins indeXiag the thous-
ands of cards that employees
have filled out in the tranSporta-
tion survey. conducted by the
Public Utilities Commission, thc
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the Wash
ington Board of Trade.
Already more than $4,000 ques-
tionnai1es have been returned by
Government workers in answer to
the traffic problems. They have
listed their means of transporta-
ton to and from work. the route
which they take. ard the time
they leave and return home.
Clerks will begin Monday sort
ing the cards into zones, follow
ing which the sponsors of the
survey will study the results with
view to eliminating much of
the rush-hour traffic here. The
work will require at least a
month, it was said today.
Just what recommendations as
to solution of the traffic Snarl
problem are to be made will not
be known until after the study
is completed. There has been
suggestions, however. that work
ers' hours might be staggered"
to eliminate jamming of traffic.
The indexing and zoning of the
cards will be done at the Public
Utilities Commission office.

injunction is the principal pur-
pose of this bill. Therefore the

MRS.ROOSEVELT.
ON RADIO To
AID FUNDS

Pressing needs for funds to
carry on several of her favored
educational and health projects
pursuaded Mrs. Roosevelt. she con.
fesSed today. to change her mind
about appearing on commercial
radio broadcastS.
Checks for the series of talks.
the first of which was made last
night, will be sent directly to the
Friends Service Committee, who
are handling the work at Reeds
vile and elsewhere in which Mrs.
Roosevelt is interested.
The first broadcast netted the
committee $4,000 and lasted about
six minutes.
Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking at her
press conference today, in answer
to a direct question as to her
change of policy, said:
'Tn order to allow the Friends
Service Committee to do certain
things l felt useful, l decided
to do a number of radio talks
the proceeds of which will be
paid directly to them. The
money will be used to further
educational, h a n d C ra t, and
health work. They may do
other things but at the moment
these are the most important.
II am anxious to see these
things done and at the moment
see no other way to get the
money needed"
She will talk, Mrs. Roosevelt
said, upon any subject she pleaSeS.
The decision has been left to her.
She will not discuss the particular
product of the companies sponsor
ing her talks.
The Washington times., 1934-05-14
Contract Interpreted

The contract also provides that
either party may terminate it dt
any time upon one weeks notice
J. have held tnat the contract was
terminated under this provision
Such a contract must be given
a reasonable construction. To my
mind the language used refers tc
a voluntary leaving by defendant
and not to an involuntary uiS
charge by the employer without
cause.
This is the view taken of some
what similar contracts in Mues
ling V. Int. Ry. Co. lat N. Y. Supp
1T, and in Price V. Minot, lU1
Mass. ~, in which case the court
said:
And this leads to the con-
StructiOn that the w4rd 1eav-
ing means the voluntary act of
the plaintiff, and not iis dis
miSsal by defendant.
Some, at least, of the pri-
mary meanings of the word
leave is to qdit or depart, i'm.
plying vOlitiOn on the part of
the person leaving or depart
ing. The added words for any
reason whatsoever do not, in
our opinion, materially alter or
enlarge the primary meaning
of the word used. Had it been
the intention of the parties to
have included ca. IS of dismis-
sal, it would have been very
easy to have expressed that pur-
pose by adding the words or
being dismissed" which was not
DONE"
