When the moon shines over the

one-year-old Chippewa Indian
baby will be received into the tri.
bal fold.
At 9 p. m. the child of Eagle
Wing" and Blue Cloud" Dacorah
will be christened in accordance
with Chippewa custom, with Mrs.
Fred Orsinger, wife of the Direc-

Of Commerce, as the godmother.
The ceremony will take place at
the Indian revervation at River

the Mt. Vernon Boulevard.
Mrs. Harold L. Ickes was origi-
ally selected as the godmother
and was to have attended the cere-
mony on her return from the trip
which claimed her life last week.
In accordance with Chippewa

TO INSPECT
Buildings Just Taken
Over Are Examined
Only on Request

Thousands of Federal workers
are being daily exposed to fire
hazards because there is no Of
ficial authority with plenary juris.
diction over fire-prevention and
safety problems, a survey disclosed
today.
While the Federal Government
is taking over hotels, apartment
houses, storerooms, theaters and
similar buildings to house the
forces of its emergency agencies,
it was revealed that the District
government has no jurisdiction
over inspection of the buildings
for fire hazards or building safety.
Inspected On Request
At the office of Col. John w.
Oehmann, District Building in.
spector, it was stated that build
ings taken over by the Federal
Government are inspected only
when requested by Federal Of
ficials.
Jurisdiction of the building in
spection force in the District has
never extended to Federal build
ings, but is confined to struc-
lures in the Capital.
Recently, the Federal Govern
ment called on the municipal in
spection force to look over three
buildings it took over to house
emergency agencies. Recommen'
dations were made by the in
spectors, but these do not have
to be followed by the Federal
officials and there is no one to
see that they are followed or fire
rules enforced.
Local building inspectors went
over the old w. B. Moses de-
partment store building at
Eleventh and F Streets North
west, and recommended addi'
tional fire escapes and fireproof-
ing of staircaseS. The recon-
mendations in this instance were
carried out.
Others Inspected
They also looked over the
Wilkins Building, 900 block F st.
N. w., taken over by the Federal
Government, and recommended
similar precautions. These recon-
mendations, the building inspec-
tors office was informed, will be
carried out, but nothing as yet
has been done.
At the old Walsh mansion, 2100
block Massachusetts, Ave. N. w.,
the inspectors went over a garage
in the rear of the mansion, which
is to be used for storage, and
found it adequately fireproof.
The Potomac Park Apartments
and Arlington Hotel are examples
of large buildings recently taken
over or about to be occupied by
Federal agencies which, as Fed
eral workers move in, will pass
from the jurisdiction of District
fire and building authorities.

II aVY Ban
nLiquOr
Remains

Uncle Sans Navy is still dry,
despite recent enactment of a law
lifting the prohibition on drinking
in uniform.
Sale of liquor is still forbidden
at Army posts, although 80 beer
may be sold.
This was the answer of the War
and Navy Departments today to
inquiries as to the effect of the
new law passed in the closing
days of Congress lifting the ban
on drinking in uniform by men,
bers of the military forces.
The original order issued by
Josephus Daniels, wartime Secre-
tary of the Navy, forbidding
drinking aboard American ships,
still stands, officials of the Navy
Department explained.
So does the act of Congress of
1901, which forbids the sale of
beer and other Intoxicating liq-
uor" in Army posts or exchanges.
Beer OF 81 per cent SCrengCh is
permitted, since Congress does not
consider it intoxicating.
Some soldiers and sailors had
been drinking liquor in uniform
since repeal of the prohibition law
under the impression the law was
purely a wartime measure and ex-
pired with the end of the war, Of
ficials of the Army and Navy said
today. The wartime restriction
was recently lifted officially when
President Roosevelt signed the liq-
uor control act.

S250,000 PAID
FOR SCOUTS
JANB0REE
Orqanization Collects
Insurance as Result
OF Cancellation

Payment of $250,000 to the Boy
Scouts of America has been made
by the Indemnity Insurance Com
pany of North America because of
the cancellation of the Scout JAM
boree which was to have been
held here last month.
Called off at the request of
President Roosevelt because of the
prevalence of infantile paralysis
and especially the outbreak which
was at it's peak in Virginia at the
time, the action of the organiza-
ton two weeks before the jam
boree was to open August 81, de-
feated plans to bring 10000
Scouts here from all over the
world.
DR.. James E. West, chief Scout
executive, who received the check
at Scout headquarters, in New
York, revealed that the Scouts
had taken out a 100000 policy
against cancellation of the jam
boree, and that the organization,
therefore. will not lose a penny of
the 100000 it had expended in
preparing for the gathering.
Contracts Cancelled
He explained that the insurance
company will not have to pay the
full $499,999 since the Scouts have
been able to cancel 100000 worth
of contracts for material and food
Stuffs.
He said an additional check
for about $4,000 will be forth
coming from the insurance COM
pany as soon as all the bills Incl
dent to the jamboree preparation
have been settled and the last of
the 400-acre camp site along the
Mount Vernon Boulevard has been
cleared away. The construction
of this camp, which was to have
housed the visitors, was the chief
item of expense in the Jamboree
preparations.
Scouts Get Refunds
Scouts who planned to attend
the Jamboree had contributed $25
each toward expenses. All will
have their contributions returned,
DR.. West said.
While the infantile paralysis
outbreak in Virginia has been
rapidly reduced, the disease has
spread to other States, and resi-
dents of New York City have been
reported as refusing in many ill.,
stances to permit their children
to attend school on the opening
date because of fear of disease.

4,OOOMen Face Loss of
Relief As District
Lacks Funds

Orders for demobilization of the
District Transient Bureau by
November l today plunged local
relief administrators into one of
the most serious social problems
yet to confront them.
Elwood Street, director of the
District Board of Public Welfare,
admitted today that District Of
ficials are stumped for an answer
to the problem they must solve in
less than two months.
Orders to disband the Transient
Bureau were sent out yesterday
by Aubrey Williams, assistant
Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istrator. There are approximate
ly 1000 men under the care of
the District Transient Bureau.
District Lacks Funds
District officials have a Federal
appropriation of $4,000 which
must last them through Septem,
Der, Mr.. Street said. This sum,
apparently, is all the Federal
Government intends allocating
for District transient relief.
The District government has no
funds set aside from its budget
for the relief of transients, Mr..
Street added.
Apparently the Government is
veering from it's two-year course
of giving aid to the transient, said
Mr.. Street, with the view "of max
ing men work."
Without Explanation
No explanation was given by
the Federal Government in an.
nouncing its new policy, Mr..
Street said, adding:
"They gave us no reasons.
We don't know what we are
going to do with these men.
Some of them, of course, can
be absorbed by relief work rolls
and work created by the new
Works Progress Administration.
But there will remain a GER
tain percentage of unemploy-
ables, the crippled and the aged.
"The presumption is that the
Civilian Conservation Corps
camps will also be called upon
to care for some of the tran
sients who will be without aid
in Washington after NOvem-
Der l."
Mr.. Street explained the Fed
eral Government is anxious to
wipe out the floating population"
of young boys and men who have
been roaming the country during
the past two years, realizing aid
awaited them werever they wan
dered.
5000 Able to Work
Approximately 5000 of the tran
sients in Washington are able to
work. Twenty-eight hundred of
them are single and the others
are heads of families.
Mrs. Louisa S. Roberts, execu-
tive secretary of the Washington
Council of Social Agencies, has
called meeting of the organiza-
ton members for Friday to dis
cuss the decision of the Federal
Government to abolish transient
relief in Washington.

RELAXING

Dan you relax? To relax means to
~ slacken, and relaxation does just
that TO human beings, it slackens them.
Some individuals grow more tense as
the day grows, rushing hither and
yon, tremendously busy with tremen-
dous trifes. Seven days a week is
this program enacted until haste be-
comes a habit.
Tension is a foe to modern living.
Business folk often start the day
tensely by trying to do two things at
once - reading the morning paper
while eating breakfast The whole goal
of American living seems to be to save
time. We eat faster, we drive faster,
we work faster, which means we real
~ live faster, all to save time, and
what do we do with 1t after il Is
saved?
Much of the work of the world be-
comes an endurance test in seeing how
long we can hold on, because of tense
ness and rightly that comes Of gain
ing it, and the arch enemy of the hui
man race appears on our horizon,
horns. hoof and tail, in the shape of
FATIGUE. Normal fatigue is natures
way of calling ones attention TO the
speed limit as a protective measure
from driving too fast. She takes this
way TO assert her own rights. If this
sign is unheeded she sends a danger
signal which one cannot ignore, in the
shape of OVER FATIGUE.
Over fatigue claims a tremendous
toll from the human race in the form
of health efficiency and joy, and leaves
in their places strained nerves, poor
or half-done work, worry and irritable
ity.
Physicians tell US that ten minutes
daily, complete relaxation. mind blank,
body limp, on couch, with or without
sleep, preferably after lunch, recreates
body and soul with renewed energy
and outlook on life for the other half
of the day. 1t is an art, however,
and how TO do it successfully must be
learned like learning to play a violin.
Relaxation Of this sort should be
planned in a days regular schedule
like meals are planned, for it is of
equal importance TO mind and body
If ignored. accumulative fatigue comes
sneaking up behind Us and insidiously
undermines US at our daily tasks.
Unaware of its harmful influence we
keep on. keeping on until some day,
we fail to appear at our accustomed
place and the physician says sadly,
Too bad, too late. this is a nervous
breakdown" Think this over in time,
and daily for ten minutes rest, re-
pose, renew, reviyify and rejoice,
through relaxation.
