for fun, here are today's puzzles.
1. know you will consider me
crazy but here is my trouble.
I seem to have a very weak
stomach and have good deal
of trouble with it, but the
greatest trouble is that every
time I get a hair cut it makes
me sick at my stomach and
turn pale and I am this way
for about three days, and then
I am all right again, but for
the three days seem to lose
all my strength. I am 80
years old.
(John Doe.)
Solution: Indeed I haven't any.
filed it in the Have Another Go de-
partment, and had another go at
it time and again, and finally told
the young man that perhaps his
trouble is allergy, that is, he is SEN
sitized or representative to some
substance in the barber shop, and
a series of skin tests by his doctor
might reveal what substance it is,
and so enable him to avoid or es-
cape future trouble. I did think
of the hysteria angle, but dismiss
ed 1t Immediately, for 1t is my
experience that a blind guess of
"hysteria" is generally wrong.
2. saw your article about the
mouth condition of the young
man who had gold. and ANAL
gam filings. My son has those
white patches on his cheeks
and complains of metallic
taste. But he has no gold In
his mouth. Would the galvanic
sore mouth come from ANAL
gam alone? (Mrs. J. F.)
Solution: Not only mercury and
gold, but any two metals, say silver
and copper, may give rise to me-
tallic taste and galvanic sore
mouth. The usual cause of white
patches in the mouth, however. is
shaking.
8. When I first heard of garlci
for high blood pressure I had
been practically starving myself
self for four months following
a stroke. That was three
months ago. Then my blood
pressure was 1870. Each week
it came down little, ITO, 1855,
1853, 152, and last week it was
las. Every day I chop fine a
small piece of garlic, put it on
a card and wash it down. with
a glass Of buttermilk. Only one
friend has ever detected that
I use it (W. r. o. 3D.
Solution: No accounting for tastes
So far as we know, there is no
sound basis for the notion that
garlic cures anything. So far as
we know, / say. On the other hand.
certainly a nip of garlic does one
no harm, If one likes the flavor.

Solution: Alkaloid does not mean
alkaline. Morphine is an alkaloid
of opium, but it is not alkaline.
Phenol (carbolic acid) is not an
acid. Pure grain alcohol is the
antidotefor phenol (carbolic) burn.
The application of carbolic in solu-
tion in water or in salve is too
dangerous may cause gangrene
or death of the tissue, and in
variably delays normal healing.
However, you may have discovered
something. I don't know. Those
two dermatologists - hope they
were Doctors of Medicine too?

MRS. DALI TO AID
SCHOOL CAMPAIGN
Presidents Daughter Takes Active
Role in National Child
Research Center.

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dali, the
Presidents daughter, was to preside
today over her first Executive Board
meeting in the role of chairman of
the National Child Research Center.
Started by grant from the Laura
Pelman Rockefeller Foundation seven
years ago and aided by the most ex-
pert child scientists and research
groups, this school has been in the
forefront of the nursery school move
ment.
Mrs. Dali was chosen to launch a
stimulation effort along a half dozen
different lines in school which had
grown in interest for her as her little
son, Buzzie, 4, attended it day by day.
Today's board meeting is expected
to result in the formation of active
committees on research, parent educa-
tion, coordination of the city with
the school and dissemination of its
educational precepts through the Ma
ton.
The director, Adelia Boynton
Heiney. made clear that Mrs. Dali
would have no mere honorary position,
but would actively work to further the
cause.
Mrs Dall's mother. Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, queried at her press
conference yesterday about her daugh-
ter's new venture, said that Mrs. Dali.
far from getting a salary, would try
to raise funds to advance the work
of the school, a non-proflt- making
organization.

FEDERAL GARAGING
PROGRAM is URGED
50, 100000 Asked in House Bill
for Project Operated at
Limited Profit.

Creation of District Garage Corpo-
ration with s4,000.000 working capital
from the Federal Treasury, to be oper-
ated at a profit of between 2 and 4
per cent, is proposed in a bill intro
duced today by Chairman Norton of
the House District Committee.
This corporation would be managed
by board of seven directors ap-
pointed by the District Commissioners
for tWo-year terms, receiving no SAL
ary, but provision is made for a rea-
sonable per diem rate in attending
meetings of the board and time spent
on special service.
Profits from the operation of this
corporation would be paid into the
Federal Treasury.
The corporation would be author
lied to acquire by purchase or con-
demnation sites not to exceed one city
square in area, and to erect thereon
storage garages for motor vehicles.
The board would either operate the
garage itself, or let it out, after public
bidding. The Public Utilities Com
mission would annually fix the rates to
be charged, based on a per cent
profit over operating expenses. When
the garage would be leased, it would
be at rate not less than or more
than per cent above cost.

Maj. Brown also made public a
letter to managers of apartment
houses, hotels, restaurants, pool rooms
and other public gathering places in
which he asked cooperation in the
police war on crime. He requested
specifically that the police be informed
at once of the presence of any person
who appears to be of the criminal
type or without apparent lawful en-
ployment or income-"those whose
actions. habits and associates indicate
that they may be living through
criminal or other unlawful means"

being made by criminals to transfer
their activities here from other juris-
dictions.

railway system and declared that its
members were entitled to more credit
than himself.
Beautiful Custom"
Neither of these, or other similar
matters on which ! have worked,
have benefited me personally to the
extent of one penny" Mr.. Littlepage
said, "yet no one can translate into
money the compensation which your
distinguished club has bestowed on
me today. The legendary pot of gold,
even If it were a fact, could add
nothing to the beauty of the rain
bow. This is most beautiful custom
that your club has inaugurated and
no human being has yet been born
who is not made better by grateful
recognition of an unselfish service.
Perhaps no higher virtue swells the
heart of man than that of gratitude,
and will cherish this expression of
your appreciation to the end of my
life"
The idea of awarding the Cosmo-
politan Club distinguished service
medal was evolved by DR.. Biggs while
he was president of the club, and
Mr.. Littlepage is the sixth recipient
of this honor. Previous winners of
the medal are the late Martin A
Leese, Theodore w. Noyes, editor of
The Evening Star; E. c. Graham,
president of the Hamilton National
Bank; Miss Mary Virginia Merrick,
president of the Christ Child Society.
and Robert v. Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank.
Among the distinguished guests
present were Commissioners Melvin
C. Hazen and Dan /. Sultan. Right

Bishop of Washington; Mr.. Fleming,

Graham and the presidents of various
civic clubs.

.LANDOWNERSBALK
SCHOOL EXPANSION
Claim That Price Is Too
Low Blamed for Omission
of Phelps Item.

District officials and other inter-
ested persons today were pondering
the reasons for the refusal of the
House Appropriations Committee to
recommend reappropriation of an
item for purchase of additional land
for the Phelps Vocation School, in
reporting the 1886 District budget.
They found it was necessary to look
back through the records of the past
several years to find the real answer,
although the committee merely stated
it was its policy not to appropriate
unexpended balances left over from
previous year.
Back of this appears the reason
that owners of land in Southwest
Washington, needed for completion
of the site Of the Jefferson Junior
High School. have refused to sell for
a price fixed by Congress last year
in passing the 1885 supply bill
S55,000 For Additional Land.
In the 1885 act, the record shows,
Congress provided S55,000 for the
purchase of additional land for the
Phelps School, but added this re-
stricting clause:
Provided. that no part of this
amount shall be obligated or ex-
pended unless and until the jefferson
Junior High School site shall have
been acquired within the sum con-
tanned in this act for such purpose. :"
The act then appropriated $105 900
for the purchase of the additional
land needed for the Jefferson Junior
High School. District officials since
last July l have made renewed efforts
for the purchase Of that land in
Southwest Washington, but the owners
have refused to consider selling at
that price, it was reported today.
Fund May Be Lost.
Therefore. as explained today by
one official. the District has not been
able legally to obligate or expend the
sum of S55,000 for the land for the
Phelps School.
The result is that if the 1886 bill
Is enacted as recommended by the
House Committee, the Commissioners
will be deprived the right to spend
the appropriation of S55000 for the
Phelps School site because owners of
the site of the Jefferson Junior High
School have found the congressional
rule of SOS, 900 too small.
The efforts of the Commissioners
in former years to buy the additional
land for the Jefferson School failed
in private negotiations and twice there
have been condemnation proceedings,
both being dropped because the Dis
trict found the price too great. They
prevailed on Congress last year to
appropriate Sl05,000 additional for
this purpose, but this was less than
the owners demanded.
What new steps may be taken by
the Commissioners to try to straighten
out the tangle had not been deter
mined TODAY,

Presidential 0. K.

More promotions in the Police De-
partment, approved Tuesday by Presl-
dent Roosevelt. were ordered held up
today by the Civil Service Commis-
sion pending investigation of charges
that questions in the examinations on
which they were based had been cir
culated in advance of the tests last
November 10.
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown, who
had said the promotions would become
effective January 16, declared he had
not been advised how long the promo
tions would be held up. The Civil
Service Commission simply requested
him not to authorize the promotions
until its investigation is completed.
Saturday the commission called In
Assistant United States Attorney
George Mcneil to assist in the inveStl-
cation, begun after reports had been
circulated throughout the Police De-
partment that photostatic copies OF
the examinations had been sold to
eligibles in advance of the test.
Neither commission members nor
Maj. Brown placed any credence in
the report, however, but decided to
conduct an inquiry as a precautionary
measure.
The officers whose promotions we're
blocked are Sergts. Walter H. Thomas
and Lawrence R. Beall, to heuten-
ants. and PvtS. A. B. Clark and
George w. Wallrodt, to sergeants.
Thomas was to have gone from the
Traffic Bureau to the second precinct
as a lieutenant, while Beall, now in
the administrative headquarters, was
to have been shifted to the first pre-
cinct. Clark, second precinct patrol
man, was to become sergeant in the
fifth precinct, and Wallrodt was to
have gone from the first to the elev-
enth precinct.
Sergt. j. J. Agnew, now on duty at
the fifth precinct, was slated to re-
place Thomas in the Traffic Bureau,
while Beall was to have been relieved
by Sergt. William w. Shipman, from
the first precinct.

ZOOS EXPANSION
PROGRAM MAPPED
Improved Bird House First
Item for S68O,0OOP. w.
Building Allotment.

DR.. William M. Mann was engaged
today in mapping out an extensive
building program for the National
Geological Park.
With S680,000 allotment made by
the Public Works Administration,
nearly the whole amount he sought
originally, the director expects to
authorize the start of work soon on
several long delayed projects to pro-
vide better housing facilities for some
of his large family of pets. P. w. A.
officials said today no restrictions
were being placed on the expenditures
as DR.. Mann already had drawn up
general program of improvements.
This part, it was said, will be left
entirely to the director to carry out
Bird House First Job.
The first work to be undertaken,
it was said, will be in connection with
the bird house, comparatively new
building. This will be enlarged con-
siderably and the interior remodeled
to permit more satisfactory method
of exhibition
The three elephants, Babe, Jumbina
and Kechil, also are to be given new
quarters with ample recreational
areas.
The two old buildings which now
house the elephants. will be turned
over to the hippopotamus and rhinoc-
eros. These two jungle beasts, ever
since they have been at the Zoo, have
occupied rather limited quarters in
the lion and antelope houses respec-
lively
Mammal House Planned.
DR.. Mann. it was said at P. w. A.,
also is planning to erect a small
mammal house, especially designed for
the great apes.
To meet an urgent need of the Zoo,
new machine shop will be built.
The present shop not only is made
quate, but was also described as un-
slightly.
The building program, one of the
largest ever undertaken at the Zoo,
is the first important improvement
since the recent construction of the
snake and bird houses.
