With more than half of the
100000 sustaining fund for the
National symphony Orchestra
raised, the campaign committee
has advanced the final date for

The Today drive ended yester-
day, but the committee believes
that with the additional time the

a series of summer concerts and
a greater season next year.
Among the pledges received

who pledged to save a penny a
day to raise the amount.
The Junior League of Washing

March, 1885, the Home owners
Loan Corporation reported today
Interest payments on this total
amount to S per cent of the prln-

Federal Government by first mort
cages on the premises upon which
the loans have been made.
Washington property owners
have borrowed extensively to
ease the difficulties of home
financing, the corporation re-
vealed. In this connection, loans
for reconditioning local homes
have averaged from $50 to $500,
according to the HOLC.
No applications for financing
properties through the Home

which the corporation already
had financed through taking over

BIDS DELAYED
ONFURN|SH|NG
HIGH COURT
Additions and Revisions of
Specifications Provide for
Latest in Convenience

When you make telephone call
from the new Supreme Court
building you can sit with dignity
in Windsor chair.
When the Justices of the court
take their places at the bench of
the highest tribunal in the coun-
try, they will be comfortable in
swivel chairs with high cane or
leather backs. When the sun
shines in the huge windows an at
tendant will pull heavy tasseled
rope and across the alcoves will
glide a drape.
Bid Opening Delayed
These and many more little
items that have cropped up
since the first specifications were
drafted for the furniture in the
new temple of justice have made
it necessary to modify the
original plans. For this reason
the bids due to be in by Thurs
day will not be opened as desig-
mated.
David Lynn, Architect Of the
Capitol, said today that it will
be necessary to postpone the
opening indefinitely until all of
these small things have been re-
drawn.
The general tone of the equip
ment, however, has not been
altered. The Justices suites and
several of the anterooms will be
furnished in mahogany. The
remainder of the rooms will be
done in walnut and the marble
benches Of the main hall will
still be Of American marble.
Elaborate Furniture
In selecting a suitable chair
for the Justices two types will
be suggested and the Justices will
pick the one they like the best.
They will be similar to the ones
they have been using in the
old court room.
The furniture as now planned
includes dressing tables, and
chaiSe tongues for the ladies' wait
ing rooms, massive tables and huge
leathered covered lounges for the
reading rooms. Tables, chairs
and chests of a modified colonial
style with a touch now and then
Of Chippenda1e and Sheraton
will be included. The outfitting
of the whole building will cost, it
is variously estimated from $780,
900 to $175,O00.
Down in the cafeteria, however,
the style has gone entirely modern
and the chairs will be tube steel
covered with chromium.
The rugs will be Wilton and
chenille and mothproofed like the
drapes which must be treated with
a substance to guarantee them for
five years. The drapes will be of
crinkled tapestry, plume damask
and cotton and silk damask.
Most of the other furniture will
be of an approved office type and
the pieces will carry a simpleness
and dignity that bespeaks the
character of the rooms in which
they will be placed.

TWO LOCATIONS
REMAIN FOR
SELECTION
PWA Director Claims Money
Sure to Be Available;
Sites Kept Secret

Definite assurance that plans
for a Washington low-cost houS-
ing program are being pushed was
given by PWA Administrator Har-
old L. Ickes today. He revealed
that only selection of suitable
site remains before a definite step
is taken to start construction of
the project which, he intimated,
would be in the form of apartment
buildings.
The search for a site has now
narrowed to two locations, he
made known.
Won't Delay Program
Mr.. Ickes added that although
the existing PWA housing fund
was impounded by Executive
order to help meet the relief load
of the nation, this would not de-
lay the local program. He de-
clared:
"That money will be back in
circulation by the time we have
picked our site. There will be
no delay on that score"
The administrator would not
reveal the location of the sites
now under consideration, but it
was definitely learned the struc-
lures to be built will replace a
Washington slum area.
Secretary IckeS reaffirmed his
stand favoring low-cost housing
development today, saying:
Gas you know, I am very
keen on lOw-cost housing. 1
have always said we should
provide decent living quarters
for the low-wage earners. 1t is
one of the finest and most
stable undertakings of this
Administration"
END OF "SILENCE"

the Washington project is def.
nitely being drawn toward realiza-
tion marked the end of q long
period Of Silence" during which
time leaders of the fight for low.

tually abandoned hope. Several
months ago PWA officials init
mated the local program might
have to be abandoned because of
profiteering by realtors and land
owners.
Details of the housing plan here
have not been revealed by PWA
but the goal of the
planners is to provide modern
quarters for. families at cost
of not more than ST per room per
Mr.. Ickes said today a definite
plan probably will be announced
within a few weeks

ON smoke
REQUESTED

Data on the enforcement of Dis
trict smoke regulations was re-
quested today of District Health
Officer George c. Ruhland by
Peoples Counsel William A. Rob
ertS.
Mr.. Roberts asked for state
ments on the amount of money
available for smoke control, the
personnel assigned to enforcement,
the number of complaints filed on
smoke nuisance and on the num-
ber of convictions under the smoke
law.
The Peoples Counsel pointed out
that hearings will be held next
week by a House District subcom-
mittee on a bill proposing new
smoke control provisions.

Southwest Citizens
Hear Health Report

Final report on the recent
health survey among 200 children
at Randall Junior High School
was given by DR.. Cyril A. Walwyn,
chairman of the public health
committee, before the Southwest
Civic Association last night at the
Southwest Community Center.
Better housing conditions were
urged by Fahias Howell, reporting
on the housing situation, and the
fight for better fire apparatus for

'Many men on our police

Lieut.. H. G. Callahan so de-

ters.
The law calling for the firing of
80 rounds of ammunition in a
qualifying trial on the pistol range
by each man on the force at least
once year was last carried out
in 1881, he said. The reason given
is lack of money for ammunition
in their budget allowance. He
said also:
"Pistels now carried by our
police force were bought in 1922.

While soldiers of the American
Expeditionary force were station

were strict orders that all men
must be in the barracks by mid
night.
It became a regular occurrence
to see one of those one-lung taxi
cabs stop at the gate and three or
more soldiers dash out from the
taxicab and through the gates call
ing as they came:
"Gangway for bucket of paint"
This was the signal to the senti-

let these fellows through, then
close up and not let the taxicab
driver through to get his money

UNCLE SANS JOB

If there is any part of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration not subject to
hostile criticism it is the proposal prompted
by western dust storms that the government
undertake vast soil-erosion-p revention pro-
gram.
The menace of rowing sands is not new.
Several of the great deserts of the world lie
windswept and desolate over areas once
densely populated by highly-civilized peoples.
Huge mounds now surmount the sites of
great cities.
What has happened may happen again,
and maybe now is happening before our
eyes. And the means of prevention, if any
are possible, lie not in the hands of individ-
uals nor are likely to be found in voluntary
cooperation of individuals. Defense against
such an enemy demands the powerful re-
sources of government
Individuals lose their courage and their
means or they may die. Government engag-
ed in an obvious duty in combating de-
structive force, can be perpetuated; can carry
on its operations from generation to gener-
alton, intensifying them as the results Of ex-
perience are shown and as knowledge of
methods grow.
The recent dust storms made desert of
land that but short time ago was fertile
and productive. The nation can i'll afford to
permit such waste.

mentioned about the Umatilla dam, however,
and there are no grade separations on state
highways in this vicinity. It'll only be a
year or so, however, so it's proponents say,
until the Townsend plan is in operation. Per-

BOREALIS-

BOREALIS-
campaign more than ever resolute is
under way to rob the aurora borealis Of its
secrets. For centuries this strange phenom-
enon has fired the imagination of scientists
and Of late years much valuable data has
been organized. But great deal remains to
be learned The effort has now been made
international in scope.
This offensive, waged by specialists of
many lands, is not altogether matter of
scientific curiosity; for in this age of cleo
trical development the Northern Lights rep
resent frequently an inimitable force of
greater or less potency.
Many an otherwise good night for radio
reception is ruined by the mischievous Aur-
ora Borealis. It has even been caught up
setting telegraph communication in the Unit
ed States-charging the wires with excess
electricity and making it impossible for a
time to send messages.
It is not thought likely, however, that
even with international mass formation and
the aid of all the resources of modern science
that this ancient wild spirit of the North can
be brought to bay without prolonged
struggle.
