FIRE IN CAPITOL
BASEMENT

The second fire in a week in
a Government building broke out
today in the endorsement Of the
old House Office Building on
Capital Hill.
Clouds of smoke filtered
through the halls of the building,
but the blaze was confined to a
room where waste paper is baled.
A carelessly tossed cigarette was
assigned by firemen as the cause
of the blaze, which broke out in
a pushcart of paper which had
just been brought over from the
New House Office Building.
Just a week ago tonight fire
started in the filing room on the
sixth floor of the Post Office De
partment Building, burning for
eight hours before it was brought
under control. The fire led PreSi-
dent Roosevelt to express the
opinion Federal buildings should
be brought under District fire
regulations.

The Ethiopians then staged an
encircling movement, and might

ried up in the nick of time.
Positions were now reversed,
with the Ethiopians themselves
encircled, fighting madly against
machine guns until they could en-
gage the Italians in a fierce hand,

Bombing planes and light tanks
also came to the aid of the
Italians, and finally the ETH
opians were forced back. with ire,
mendous losses.
The fact that there were few
wounded, compared to the number
killed in the battle. shows how
desperate was the fighting at close
quarters.

nounced through communiQue
issued at Rome that more than
500 Philippians, 245 colore d
Italian troops and 27 Italians
were killed, but the 1Oounded on

The total of wounded in noun

The Federal Relief Administra-
ton cut 2,759,871 families and
single persons off relief when the
Federal dole ended December l,
or 81 per cent Of the entire
number who were on relief in
May, when the four-billion-dollar
work relief job drive was
launched.
In the last month Of relief,
November, more families and sin
gle persons were cut off relief
than in the entire five months
preceding. if reports of the FERA
are a criterion, a survey re-
vealed today.
Last Reports November Is
While the job program oSten-
sibly ended direct relief Deem
Der l, no actual employment re-
ports have been issued since
November Is. when the program
was still 1.132,758 jobs shy of
the goal. The only other official
announcement of the drive results
was made by President Roose-
welt November 20. when he said
that 3.125,OOO Jobs had been
provided as of November q.
Since that time no employment
report has been issued, although
aides of Harry L. Hopkins,
FERA-WPA administrator, insist
that the drive went "over the
top" on December /, and that
now more than the 100000 per,
sons to be provided employment
have been given jobs.
Based on a report issued by
Corrington Gill, assistant to Hop
kins and chief statiStician for
WPA and FERA, a total of 2,759,,
87l families and single persons
were on relief in November. The
total in May was 4,100,932.

November. The relief rolls of
these cities comprise 545 per cent

On this basis, a total of 2,759.87l
families throughout the country

SUBWAY PLAN
DISCUSSED AT
Pun {. MEET
Scheme Is Supported
BY AFGE Lodge,
Hit by Others

Conflicting viewpoints on the
ACCESSIBILITY of subways in the
Capital were presented to the
Public Utilities Commission today
at the hearing on street car and
bus service afforded by the CAPT.
tai Transit Company.
Paul R. Hutchings, representing
Lodge No. 81 Of the American
Federation of Government En-
ployeS, advocated the subwayS as
a means of curing public tranSpor.
tation ills. while H. M. Fulton, OF
the Logan-ThOmaS Circle Citizens
Association, urged that the down
town system of transportation Of
the present not be disturbed.
Mr.. HutchingS declared the sub
ways would afford the riding pub
lie quicker service from the out
lying districts to the downtown
section and, although he declared
he had not considered the subway
plan thoroughly, suggested that
an underground system should ex-
tend out as far as the Taft Bridge
on Connecticut Avenue.
Responding to Mr.. Hutchings
testimony, Mr.. Fulton declared:
1--WE are getting along very
well with the present downtown
service as it is. think we
should wait and in time to come
engineers may work out some
thing better than SubwayS."
In addition to suggesting the
subwayS, Mr.. Hutchings bitterly
opposed the continuance of one
man bus operation. He declared
this problem should be given Sc
rious consideration by the COM
mission at a coming hearing on
one-man car problems.
He declared that operation Of
bus through traffic thronged
streets required full attention of
the bus driver and he should not
be made to handle fares, trans
fers and perform other duties or
dinarily performed by a con-
ductor.

''D|PPER" TWISTED
BY EARTH FORCES
Movement of Stars Seen
Bending Down Part
of Handle.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calif.-The Big Dipper
is being bent out Of shape, like hay
wire.
The forces of the universe which
keep stars in motion are turning the
lip of the dipper down. Within few
thousand years this lip will no longer
point to the North Star.
A similar movement of stars also
is bending down part of the handle.
Within 100000 years, astronomers esti-
mate, the cup of the dipper will be
come the handle, the present handle
the cup, and the whole will appear
upside down.
Mizar Is Two Stars.
Astronomers at the Carnegie Insti-
tute's Mount Wilson Observatory have
been interested in single star of the
dipper, MiZar Cor Zeta), the second
from the end of the handle. It is a
binary or double star-two stars so
close together that they appear as one
to the naked eye They almost eclipse
each other in 21-day periods of rev.
olution about a common point, so the
light from them slowly din1s and
brightens. Mizar was one of the first
double stars measured by DR.. Francis
ifcipn faof i,,ta .oto
attached to the giant 100-inch tele-
scope
But DR.. Frederick c. Leonard, as
tronomer of the University OF Califor-
mia at Los Angeles, has made a study
Of the change taking place in the Dip
per, as Illustrated above.
"a most interesting fact about the
stars of the Great Dipper is that five
of them, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon
and Zeta, are moving across the face
of the sky at approximately the same
angular rate and in a direction nearly
parallel to that from Beta to Delta"
DR.. Leonard said, while Alpha and
Beta are moving in roughly the Op-
posite direction with comparable
angular speeds.
Not Always a Dipper.
Because of this difference in direc-
ton of motion, the stars have not al
ways formed dipper. Five of the
stars are members of a moving cluster,
the so-called 'UrSa Major group,
which includes also Sirius, the bright
est star in the entire heavens. These
stars are approaching the solar system
with speeds ranging from about 5
miles a second, in the case of Epsilon
to 10 miles a second in the cases Of
Delta and Zeta."
Astronomers say all the stars of the
Big Dipper are brighter man the sun,
Alpha and zeta being 60 times as bril-
liant. They appear less bright because
Of their distance.
Light from the sun reaches the
earth in eight minutes. Light from
the giant stars of the Big Dipper re-
quires from so to 100 years to reach
the earth, some of the stars being far
more distant than others.

ever, and won his nineteenth doubles
title in 1882 with w. C. Wright Of
Philadelphia as partner.
Court tennis was popular for CEN
turies in France and England, but is

the expense of building the dedans or
