down to modern "bobs" will be
of special interest to women. The
men are shown with luxuriant,
Towering whiskers, high collars
and with only the top button OF
their coats buttoned so their
watch chains will show; while 1t
!, is observed that little boys wore
skirts until they were five years
old.
Mr.. Baker came here from Eng.
land and started business in the
building now occupied by H. Z.
brakes store, near the court
house. Fifteen years later he built
on the corner where the State
Trust Co. building now stands,
and in 1907 built and moved to
the present location, at Main 81.
and Sixth Ave.
There are probably few pho
tographers in the world VINO can
equal Mr.. Bakers record and the
display of old photographs is most
unusual. Mr.. Baker is the only
man in business here today who
had a business on Main street oo
years ago, and is being congratu-
lated on the successful malnten-
ance of a creditable establishment
during all this period. His photo
graphs are to be found in many
hundreds of homes in this section
and are we'll known for their per-
manence and good workmanship
It is expected that many people
from this and adjoining counties
will wish to take advantage of this
opportunity to see this collection
of photographs, and A. F; Barber.
who is now actively in charge, OF
the business, stated today that
they were prepared to receive ana
entertain all who came, and thaI
the display would be maintained
long enough for all to see it.

TRAFFIC
To Be SPEEDED

Because Of complaints over
slow-moving street cars, Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer
has inaugurated an experiment at
two of the city's most difficult
points to handle traffic, Dupont
and Thomas circles.
Between 8 and 9:30 a. m, be-
ginning tomorrow, all eastbound
traffic approaching the former
circle will be rerouted south on
Twentieth Street to N Street and
east on N Street to Connecticut
Avenue.
Streets covered by this rerouting
are to be one-way, with no park
ing on either side during the
rush hours.
At Thomas Circle, traffic lights
are to be Synchronized so as to
move Fourteenth Street traffic
north and south while hating
that of all other intersecting
streets.

BARNARD CALLS
LORTON JAIL
POWDER KEG
Sees Danger of "ExpIosion"
As a Result of Housing
"Hard" Prisoners There

Lorton Reformatory is a
potential powder keg which some
day will explode into serious
trouble unless immediate steps
are taken to remedy existing con,
ditions there, according to Capt.
M. M. Barnard, superintendent
of penal institutions.
He completed his testimony
before the Committee on Penal
and Correctional Institutions of
the Board of Public Welfare,
which is investigating conditions
at the prison.
Use Expanded
Lorton. Captain Barnard said,
was designed originally as a re.
formatory for young prisoners
and first offenders.
In late years, however, it has be-
come a general prison. In spite
of his protests, the prison head
said, the reformatory has had to
accept all classes of prisoners, in
Guiding several serving life SEN
tences, with ages ranging from "17
to 75."
There are more than 1900 men
at Lorton, he said, and 800 more
are at the Occoquan Workhouse,
mile distant. Captain Barnard
said:
"You have there over 1000
prisoners, some of them serious
offenders, without a wall around
them"
Captain Barnard emphatically
denied testimony offered by other
witnesses that stills had been
found at the reformatory.
Liquor Gusts Guards
On several occasions, he said,
he has caught civilian employees
at the prison with liquor. Repri-
mand, suspension or dismissal of
the offenders was resorted to in
each case, he said.
On the whole, Captain Barnard
said, liquor and narcotics are
rare at Lorton, especially in view
of the unusual liberty permitted
prisoners and visitors. Several
times, he added, he has cured
drug addicts by isolation.

HIT
IN POST OFFICE
DEPARTMENT
Field Units of A. F. G. E. Asked
to Cooperate in National
Review of Situation
BY DUNCAN FORSYTH

Field units Of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes are being asked to under
take a Nationwide survey Of the
extent to which overtime and
furloughs are being imposed in
the Government service, PreSi-
dent E. Claude Babcock, of the
Federation, announced today.
The occasion for the survey
is the introduction of furloughs
in the Post Office Department
and their continuance in Navy
Yards throughout the country.
With furloughs in effect in two
i Of the largest Of the Government
departments, Mr.. Babcock says,
the situation is sufficiently acute
to deserve collection Of all avail
able data concerning it.
Two Evils Linked
The Federation for a long time
has pointed out that overtime
and furloughs are perhaps more
often than not intimately con-
nected, for furloughs are i'm
posed because funds are lacking,
and yet, as work does not dimin-
tSh in the least, those employees
. who remain are called upon for
much additional work without
added compensation.
In Washington, Mr.. Babcock
Said, the National offices can
keep a pretty accure check on
the status of overtime in de-
partmental service, but it is
more difficult matter in the field.
Discomfort Growing
Imposition Of Post Office fur
loughs has created widespread
dissatisfaction. Both organiza-
tions of Post Office clerks, the
National Federation Of Post Of
flee Clerks and the United Ma
tional Association of Post Office
Clerks, are transmitting copies Of
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley's recent order to their mem
berS.
Mr.. Farley's order asserts that
budget requirements necessitate
the furloughs for the remainder
Of the fiscal year; that annual
leave with pay for all employees
will be discontinued except where
no expense is involved. but that
such unused leave will be car
ried over into the next fiscal
year; and that 3A to 4 days
furlough will be imposed for all
postal workers during the re-
mainder Of the fiscal year. Ru-
raj carriers, however, will not be
furloughed.

Traffic Evils That Hold Up

Improvement Of traffic condi.

upon the District Commissioners
by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion.
This became known today with
the announcement Of Riley E.

he will forward to the District
Commissioner the record of tes-
timony offered in public hearings
held yesterday on street car SER
vice.
Double Parking Scored
Mr.. Elgen declared that testi-
mony showed that double parking
and other traffic problems are
largely responsible for poor SER
vice here. He added that the rec.
ord sent to the District Commis-
sioners will be accompanied by his
recommendation that the matter
be taken up at once with officials
in charge Of enforcing the traffic
regulations.
other causes Of poor service,
such as old equipment, infrequent
service, and bad schedules, will be
taken up with officials of the
Capital Transit Company, Mr..
Elgen said, and they will be re-
quired to improve conditions at
once.
Faster Bus Runs Planned
It is probable, Mr.. Elgen indi-
Gated, that express service will be
instituted on some of the bus
lines to outlying sections in order
to speed up service, and that SER
vice will be increased on other
lines, such as the Congress Heights
line on which service now stops
at 9 p. m.
Action on transfers and fares
on bus lines will be taken by the
Commission this week, Mr.. Elgen
said, after a study Of testimony
offered at yesterdays hearing. He
declined to give his views on these
matters until that study is com"
pleted.
