THREE MEN DIE
Of INJURIES

Injuries received in falls proved
fatal in the last "a hours to three
men.
Herman Brinkham, 10. 1900
block Kearney st. N. E., suffered
a broken neck when he toppled
over a retaining wall while rak-
ing the front lawn at his home.
He died in Emergency Hospital.
Head and body injuries re.
ceived by Charles F.. Wicklein, 72,
in a fall down the front steps of
his home, 47OO Eighth st. N. w.,
caused his death later in Casualty
Hospital.
William P. Dieste, 80, died in
Sibley Hospital today from in
juries received when he fell down
the rear steps of his home in the
300 block Somerset Pl. N. w. He
was returning from work last
night when the accident occurred.
He was found unconscious by his
son, Carl, II.

Peter Rabbit
Lost, But in
GoOdHands
Peter Rabbit is in good hands,

Peter Rabbit is IN good hands,
folks!
Right now he is receiving the
best of care from the three
Blair children-Janes, 6; Fran
ces, 4, and Joseph, 9-of the
200 block Third st. S. E.
They found Peter Rabbit in
the alley next to their home
several days ago. After un-
successfully searching the neigh
borhood for the owner, the
children took it to their home
and to their hearts.
Even Toby, the children's pet
fox terrier, likes Peter Rabbit,
and they play together.
Although the children have
grown to love the fluffy little
animal, they think it their duty
to try to find its owner. How
ever, they will not give up their
neW-found pet unless someone
can prove his ownership with.
out a doubt.
If this is your rabbit and you
want it, then get in touch with
the Blair family. But if you
want to give it away, you may
feel assured that it will receive
a good home and expert care
in their hands.

BLOSSOMS

With warmer weather today,
Washington's cherry blossoms were
fast approaching maturity.
Tomorrow will find them in all
their glory, horticultural experts
said after an inspection today.
But while the blossoms are out,
visitors must view them in day.
light. The flood lights used last
year to illuminate the blossoms at
night will not be set up.
Underground cables were in
stalled last year and the lights
purchased-although it was said
the Pepco bill has not yet been
paid in full by the committee
in charge of the 1884 festival.
Since the committee which pur-
chased the lights and authorized
their use no longer exists, no one
seems certain as to who could
order the lights on this year.
It is expected that 10000 per
sons will visit the Tidal Basin to-
morrow, and police are arranging
to handle the rush of traffic.

WOMEN FAVOR
FORCED JURY
SERVICE
Justice Wheat's Opposition
Meets 4-to-1 Adverse
Vote of Ladies

REGARDLESS of Chief Justice
Alfred A. Wheat's fear for the sen
sibilities of women, the women Of
Washington want the same priv.
ileges that men have when II
comes to jury service.
Although it's a well-known fact
that men try to escape service on
a jury whenever they can, women,
by a vote of 4 to i, want to be
forced by law to help in the ad'
ministration of justice.
Women Oppose Wheat
With one exception, Chief Jus.
tice Wheat's statement yesterday
before the House District Subcom-
mittee investigating crime condi.
tions in washington that compul.
sorry jury duty for women should
not be invoked in the District be-
cause it might cause them embar-
raSsment, was greeted with a
figurative:
"Stuff and nonsense"
Always bearing in mind that the
exception is supposed to prove the
rule, it might be well to quote
Mrs. Russell Bennett, of the 2100
block Connecticut Ave. N. w.,
Washington social leader, who
doesn't believe in jury service for
women at all. They're too emo
tional, she believes, and says:
II wouldn't trust a woman on
any jury. Women are too easily
swayed by their emotions.
They're apt to be too lenient
because they'll picture the man
on trial as either their husband,
or SON, or brother, or sweet
heart" ..
But four other women took ex-
ception to the statement by the
jurist and sided with the legisla-
ton now pending in the New
York State Legislature. making
it mandatory for women to serve
on jurieS.
Rep. ODay FavOrs Service
Said Representative Caroline
O'Day (D0, OF New York:
"Of course, women should be
compelled to serve on jurieS.
They should be obliged to per-
form the same duties as men.
The men have a lot of exemp.
tionS. The women should have
them, too"
Representative Florence Kahn,
veteran Republican legislator from
California, was surprised when
asked the question. Compulsory
jury service for women in her
State has been a law for such
a long time that she takes it as
a matter of course" she said,
adding:
"WOmen have all the advan-
tageS of citizenship. They
should have its duties"
Said Miss Laura M. Berrien,
local attorney:
TITS ridiculous for women to
escape jury service just because
they don't want to serve. It's
a civic duty to serve en- a jury
and women should perform
that cuty."
Pretty Miss Elsie H. Quinby, of
the $500 block Massachusetts,
Ave. N. w., prominent in Wash.
nigton's young social set, thinks
that women have the same intel
ligence as men, and should there
for serve on the same basis that
men do.

ton, Mr.. Anslinger does not seem
at all convinced that this is the
true situation. He said:
II feel we've got the major
wholesalers who have been the
source of the supply for peddlerS
and addictS here, but because
of the interstate ramifications
of the dope selling system, new
merchants may be surveying To-
cal territory with an eye to salts

DR.. KEY URGES
CHILD TESTS

Intelligence tests for children Of
nursery and pre-nursery school
age will save parents much in fl
nances, false pride and happiness.
If the child has an I. @. dntel-
ligence quotienO of 10 or near
that, concentrate on high school
education, with dancing, training
in crafts and trades for his so
cial adjustments" If he has 10
to 140, the parents should begin
saving money for a college educa-
tion.
These are some Of the points
extracted from lecture on child
psychology by DR.. Cora Key at
the Kalorama Day School last
night.
DR.. Key has given mental tests
to thousands of nursery school

WEIGHTS
MAY REVOKE
LICENSES
G. M. Roberts, D. c. Depart
ment Head, Needs Larger
Staff, Extra Funds
By WILLIAM E. RING


George M. Roberts, mild-n1an-
nered and soft spoken superin'
tendent of the Districts Weights
and Measure Department, lost his
temper today and declared war to
the finish on grocers and other
shop keepers who have been re-
peatedly "short weighing" their
patrons.
Studying recent reports made by
his small inspection staff, Super
intendent Roberts discovered a re-
cent investigation disclosed sales
of food in stores to persons on re-
lief rolls and of limited means
during the past two months re-
suited in "a prosecutions in Police
Court.
In Is cases already disposed of
fines ranged from $40 to $3.50.
The inspectors visited q stores,
made 1873 purchases and were
"short weighted" in 83 of the pur-
chaSeS.
Studying Other Ways
Pointing out that his depart
ment is seriously handicapped in
this work because Of the small in
Spection staff-he has only seven
inspectors-and the inadequate
fund allowed for such purchases,
Mr.. Roberts said he was studying
other means of fighting the short
weight merchants. He declared:
of course, I hate to put any
man out of business, but I'm
seriously considering recon-
mending to the District Com
missiOners that the licenses Of
grOcerS and other merchants,
who have been convicted re-
peadly of short weighing pa
irons, be revoked. We've had
as high as three and four con-
victions against some persons"
This recommendation for revo-
catiol. OF license plan has not
been tried before in the District,
but Mr.. Roberts says he may be
forced to resort to this because
of the departments handicaps.
He revealed that the fund-he
was given $500 to last him until
July for purchases in short
weight Investigations almost is ex'
hausted.
xxyo.I-;-~ 0vnrk;uon
He also pointed out the inspec'
tiorl staff is bound by law to
test weighing apparatus once
each six months in more than
5000 stores, filling stations and
other Establishments throughout
the city. These inspections, he
said, keep the staff working over
time and affords it little time for
Short-Weight Investigations. He
said:
'In the majority Of cases
just investigated, it is true
that the short weight was
mere matter of ounces. But
this is mighty important when
yUp CO1ASAUCE OAACSC AA6uACSO
"In Washington we use g..
45O,OOC pounds Of butter a year.
Even a one ounce short weight
would amount to cheating the
public out of $16O,00O year.
Bv the same comparison I find
that an ounce short weight in
beef consumed during the year
would cunt to $36O,OOO;
bread. $S65,OOO and potatoes,
$156, ,OOO."
II, declared the local weights
ard measures law one of the
best in the country, but added
he needed at least three addi-
tional inspectors and a purchase
fund of $1,000 a year to rid the
city Of shop keepers who have
been cheating the public.

RULINGS CITED
BY COUNSEL
Claims Part, If Not All, of
Washington Field Site Be-
longs to Government

Peoples Counsel William A. Rob-
erts today said he was convinced
that at least a large portion of the
Washington Airport property be-
longs to the District, and that II
the Government purchased the
land for municipal flying field
it would be paying for what it al.
ready owned.
Mr.. Roberts pointed out the
written report prepared by Special
Assistant to the Attorney General
Henry H. Classic and now before
the Boundary Commission set forth
a claim on metes and bounds, the
consequences of which would place
large portion of the area in the
District.
Court Ruling Cited
This claim, Mr.. Roberts also
said, recalls that on two occasions
the Supreme Court has held that
the high water mark on the south
side of the river was the boundary
of the District.
The cases cited were Marine
Railroad VS.. the United States"
and "Smoot Sand and Gravel Co.
VS.. washington Airport, Inc"
The Government contends the
high water mark which was fixed
by the Maryland charter of 1882
was on the bank now extended by
reason of Federal reclamation.
The airport is on this land,
May Own 1t All
Mr.. Roberts said:
There can be no doubt that
at least a large portion and
possibly all of the airport is
on land that belongs to the
Government.
There is no reason, there.
fore, why the Government
should spend millions buying
land it already owns"
Mr.. Roberts also pointed out
that at the Senate hearings when
the bill t. extend the life of
the Boundary Commission was
up Senator William H. King (DO
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, had agreed
to the legislation only after
warning the District Commission.
erS to take more action in favor
of the Districts claim.
Says Claim Is Fixed
The courses and distances set
forth in the Governments claim
before the Boundary Commission
would clearly fix the claim that
Washington Airport is now on
Government property, Mr.. Rob-
ertS said.
He also recalled that when he
was counsel for the Public Utility
Commission he obtained an order
requiring the power company to
cut its poles in that area so as not
to be menace to airplanes.
Mr.. Roberts said:
"The power company &C.
cured some of the finest law.

went into the order with the
express view of fighting it on
the ground that the District
had no jurisdiction.
"After studying the claims of
