$3,0DO,ODO SOUGHT
BY D. c. HEADS FOR
MUNICIPAL CENTER
Commissioners Ask Early
Approval by Public Works
Administration.
PERSONAL APPEAL IS
PLANNED BY SULTAN
Sum Would Have to Be Paid on
Same Terms as Sewage
Project.

An application for advance Of So, ,000,-
900 for the construction of new homes
for Municipal, Police and Juvenile
Courts in Judiciary Square was be-
fore the Public Works Administration
today, with a request from the District
Commissioners for early approval.
Use of public works money for this
purpose was authorized by Congress in
an amendment to the District P. w. A.
act. The bill was signed yesterday by
President Roosevelt.
Prepare, Statement.
Acting promptly, at board session
yesterday afternoon the Commissioners
prepared the formal application and
sent it to Secretary Ickes. Seventy
per cent of the sum would have to be
repaid with interest at per cent, the
same terms as involved in the loan
and grant for the building of the
sewage disposal plant and the adult
tuberculosis hospital.
Engineer Commissioner Sultan plans
to make a personal appeal for the new
project in a call to the P. w. A.
headquarters, probably next week.
There was some doubt in the minds
of District officials yesterday as to
which Federal official to send the re-
quest, since the President has set up
a new organization to administer the
new work relief appropriation. Since
the District received funds for the
other two P. w. A. projects from Ickes,
new requests were sent to him.
Sketches Being Prepared.
Preliminary sketches for the three
courts buildings now are being pre-
pared by the staff of Municipal Archi-
tect Nathan c. Wyeth. The Park and
Planning Commission already has
given general approval to the proposed
layout.
The Juvenile Court Building, which
would include new quarters for the
recorder of deeds, would be erected to
the north and east Of District Su-
preme Court and the Municipal and
Police Courts Buildings would face
each other across a court Immediately
to the north of the Supreme Court
Building.

TEST
OF $500 STARTED
Eastern and Mckinley High
School Students Are
Examined.

A series OF skin tests to determine
the extent of tubercular infection
among upward of $500 high school
students were begun this morning at
Eastern and Mckinley High Schools.
Small and harmless injections of
tuberculin were being made by ply
sicians to learn if the students at any
time had been infected with tubercu-
losis. No student was subjected to
the test without written consent from
mis- parents.
Several Hundred Tests Today.
Several hundred were undergoing
the tests today at Eastern and Nc
Kinley as the latest development OF
an enlarged District health program.
Similar tests will be conducted in the
other high schools before the end OF
the present term.
If symptoms Of inactive or active
tuberculosis are discovered, the stu
dents will be given X-ray examina-
tions.
Similar tests in other cities, ply
sicians said, have revealed high
percentage of infection.
1t is possible that a person once in
fected by tuberculosis can be carrier
of the disease, although it is no longer
active in his system.
DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health officer, asked that parents CO.
operate to make the tests as compre-
hensive as possible.
First Opportunity.
He said:
This is the first time parents have
been given opportunity to learn if their
children have ever been infected with
the disease. These tests will be of
great Importance, because many of the
children may be found to suffer slight
ly from the disease.
by learning this at the beginning
of the dangerous age from the dis
ease a quick and easy cure can be
made. BY curing early cases posi-
bility of injecting others also will be
overcome"
Results of the tests probably will be
known Friday.

Carroll said the new application is
about the same as that previously used
and in service generally throughout
the Government. There is one blank
in which the applicant Is required to
show from what congressional district
he comes, but Carroll said a check
always had been kept there on the
employment by States. One new ques-
ton has been added-the number of
persons partly dependent on the ap-
plicant." This was designed, 1t was
explained, to establish more definitely
the element of dependency. Already
prospective employees are quizzed as to
their marital status and the number
of dependents.
The N. r. A. employees are not un-
der civil service, although some have
a civil service status because they
came out of old line agencies.
There is one cloud over the heads
of the entire establishment, and that
is that Congress might fail to pass
any legislation before June 16. Under
such circumstances, everybody would
be dropped-or at least go on pay
less basis-on that date, for in several
cases Controller General McCarl has
held that date Of expiration OF an
emergency act automatically cuts off
all funds, not even making allowance
for persons who might be held over in
skeleton force.

community problems, as we'll as skilled

 i've been hoping ever since you went away you would come around" she said, twisting her rings nervously. i've dreamed about seeing you again." Without looking at him she knew he was at last giving her all of his attention "I don't know how to say it, but I've thought all these years we made a mistake, Henry. It was silly to quarrel over nothin' but a apple pie and let it spoil our lives" :" Apple pie?" he asked heavily after a short pause. Her eyes met his shyly. Don't you remember, Henry? You came home that night-just back from Seattle, on the Maybell = and l made that apple pie, my first one, to surprise you. You took one bite and said 1t was awful. And you | called me a-a dumb cluck, and you slammed the door behind you and never came back. Have you forgotten?

 He laughed loudly, then sobered and looked at her contemptuously That's the darndest thing I ever heard of in my whole life! Dumb as you were I thought you'd get wise as soon as I left because - whoever heard of man leavin his wife because she couldn't make apple pies?"
 Well, that's what"
 He called for his bill, paid it and rose, jerking his braided cap over his brow. "Get wise to the facts of life, Sybil, and listen: I left you for a dame in Seattle" Once more he laughed, looking around the crowded room. Apple Pie Empo- rium!"
 Sybil watched him go out into the street, still laughing to himself, and she put her face in her hands, weeping softly.

 Sybil Grahame signaled for the head waitress to take her place at the cashiers desk and made her way between the tables of the Ap- pie Pie Emporium to where the man was sitting.
 He wore a seaman's coat with gold braid on the sleeves; his face was weather-beateni into deep lines and brown roughness. Iron gray hair stood up untidily over his long head. There was certain amount of cruelty evidenced in his thick, tightly pressed lips and long, hawk like nose. At the same time Syb;l saw that some of his youthful handsomeness that handsome ness which had won her whole heart remained to him.
 As she stopped at his side he raised his eyes, green as moss.
 Hello, Henry" he said, her tone betraying excitement.
 He stared at her, taking in her snow white hair, carefully mar celled; her pale blue eyes filled with tears, the diamond rings on her stubby fingers. His voice was harsh, utterly matter-of-fact, "Sy- bil - huh? How are y0u?"
