More Beer Dealers
Cited For Alleged
Violation OF Law
Rockville Dispensary To Occupy
New Quarters By November
Is, Board Says

Five more Montgomery County
beer dealers were cited Monday by
the county liquor control board for
alleged violations of local ordinances.
Two charges we're made against
beer dealers for selling to intox-
Gated persons. Charles Collins, of
Gaithersburg, was ordered to show
cause why his license should not be
revoked for selling beer to an in
toxicated person. According to the
board, Collins sold beer to a man
who later was arrested for drunken
ness and was fined $25 in Rockville
Police Court October 20.
A similar order was issued against
John M. Trevey, also of Gathers
burg. Trevey was charged with
selling to intoxicated persons, per-
hitting gambling on the premises,
holding five empty beer cases with
uncanceled revenue stamps, and pro-
viding improper toilet facilities.
A charge of inadequate lavatory
facilities was made against Samuel
Chmar and Minnie r. Ziska, both of
Rockville, while a third Rockville
dealer, E. F. Galloway, was ordered
to provide lavatory facilities in two
weeks or have his license suspended.
The liquor board granted a Glass
D on-sale license TO Mrs. Lillian
White, operating the Silver Spring
Hotel. Application for beer license
was received from Lieut.. Joseph w.
Saunders, canteen officer of the Sill
Yer Spring National Guard Armory

Social Service To
Begin Its Annual
Drive November Ii
George w. Davis, Chairman,
Stresses Importance Of Cam
paign For Funds

The dates for the Annual Drive for
the Social Service League of Mont
gomery County are announced by the
Chairman of the drive, George w.
Davis, for the week of November 18th
to goth, inclusive. These dates coin
eide with those of the Washington
Community Chest.
Qualification OF the relationship of
the County organization and the Dis
trict of Columbia agencies is essential
to the success of this drive, said Mr..
Davis.
The Washington Community Chest
receives over 100000 annually from
Montgomery County residents, much
of which is by actual solicitation with
in the County, while the only benefit
received by the County is less than
$4,000 worth of clinical services from
Chest hospitals. In view of this situa-
ton, the Social Service League during
the past summer made an effort to
work out a cooperative plan with the
Community Chest for solicitation.
This plan has failed-therefore the
League is calling attention to this
situation and asking County residents
to remember that only gifts to the
Montgomery County Social Service
.ague benefit the unfortunates
Montgomery County. In line with the
above reason the Campaign for funds
is being conducted at the same time
as the Community Chest, with par
ticular appeal made to employees of
the Government Departments and
Washington Business Houses, who are
residents of Montgomery County.
The Executive Committee of the
Washington Community Chest on
July IL, 1885, agreed to plan, where
by a cooperative campaign would be
conducted for both Washington, D. c.,
and the suburban communities would
appear on a pledge card of different
color than the Chest pledge card. Both
types of cards would be distributed
by Chest workers in the Government
Departments and Business Houses in
Washington, and both cards would be
distributed by suburban workers in
the suburban communities. Gifts and
pledges would be distributed to the
respective agencies designated to re-
ceive the gift or pledge for acknow-
ledgment and follow up by each in its
own manner.
However, the agreement of the
Chest Executive Committee was con-
ditioned on the Chest 1885 Campaign
Committees approval. That Commit
tee refused to approve the agreement,
and seemed wholly opposed to any
cooperative arrangement. Accordingly
each of the suburban communities is
left to work out its own solution.
The Social Service Drive this year
is to provide essential services for
those people in the County who are
not cared for by public funds or any
other Agency. These cases include
many of the most pathetic and meri-
torious, and relief for their desperate
needs depend upon the citizens of
Montgomery County.

missioners for Montgomery County
The reply of Sen. Prescott follows
November a, 1885
Board of County Commissioners
for Montgomery County,
Rockville, Maryland.
Gentlemen
l am in receipt of your letter stat
ing you have agreed to accept the
pending school loan and grant from
the Federal Government provided you
can receive my assurance to approve
legislation giving you authority to
equalize assessments. Naturally was
somewhat surprised for several reas-
ons. First, to have your letter dealing
with such an important matter and
one in which the people are so vitality
interested, handed to me Sunday
night with the request that you re-
ceive a reply by noon on Tuesday,
when you have had about seven
months since making your request to
the Federal Government to consider
this matter, clearly shows that this is
mere afterthought or an attempt to
manufacture an excuse for not ac-
cepting the responsibility, as County
Commissioners, of either going
through with the School program or
rejecting it. AS matter of fact am
informed that although the time ex-
pires tomorrow for you to accept the
same no formal action has been taken
by you and it was only at the insti-
cation of certain public spirited citi-
zens that you are now considering the
subject. You will also recall that dur
ing the last Session Of the Legisla-
ture you wrote me asking for legis-
lation authorizing these schools with
out making it contingent upon any adj
ditional legislation. Your request was
complied with and then about April
Of this year you requested this loan
and grant from the Federal Govern
ment and now after the Government
has signifed its willingness to comply
with your request you place your
selves in the rather absurd position of
saying, eve are considering whether
to accept it or not" Surely men who
occupy the responsible positions Of
County Commissioner would not deal

"K|CKBACK" QUIZ
SET FOR MONDAY
Effort Will Be Made to Fix

Davis-Bacon act relating to wage
rates for laborers and mechanics en-
ployed on Federal building projects
will be made Monday, when q hearing
is scheduled at the Labor Department
Involving an alteration and repair
project for the cafeteria and hearing
room of the Interstate Commerce
building, the hearing will be for the
purpose of determining the prevailing
rate of wages for the work involved,

sued, the figures then to be cited in
the call for bids. The project in
volved is to be under direction of the
Procurement Division of the Treasury
Department, the predetermination be-
ing requested by the contracting officer
Of the division.
A hearing first was scheduled for
this morning on a Bureau of Mines
project in College Park, Md, but it

funds and that the wage rates in such
a case must comply with w. P. A.

Most other hormones, It was ex-

Members of the board declared
themselves in sympathy with adoption
of q reasonable work day for all types

leave the question for settlement
among units Of the industry and pos

Informal discussion also raised the
question of whether the terms Of the

to enable the Commissioners to write
restrictions on hours Of work into

Chemical analysis Of the finger
nails is providing clue to the nature
and possible treatment of arthritis,
DR.. M. x. Sullivan Of the Chemomedi-
cal Institute Of Georgetown Univer-
sity reported last night to the WASH
ington Section of the American Chem
1cal Society, meeting at George Wash
ington University.
The clue, DR.. Sullivan reported, Is
the percentage Of cysteine, a form Of
sulphur compound in the nails. Nor
mally this runs between II and Is
per cent. In victims of arthritis, 1t Is
down to only 8 or o per cent. This is
true, he said, in 80 per cent of the
chronic arthritis sufferers in one hos
pital from which he and his asso-
ciates analyzed grams of finger nail
clippings from 70 persons.
On the other hand, DR.. Sullivan
said, victims Of acute arthritis have
normal finger nails. He failed to find
any relationship to the disease in ex-
animation Of the finger nails Of many
tuberculosis victims.

The finger nails, it was explained,

With one cut of approximately 25

Administration, which now numbers
around 1900, future reductions de-
pend on the amour, Of information
wanted by Congress in the several
studies the organization is making,
Administrator L. ]. Martin said today.
In the field, where between $50 and
700 employees are engaged, the staff is
considered close to the level to be
maintained until the recovery act ex-
pires April l..
Martin figures the local personnel
at 1000 regular and 200 per diem. He
said that by November Is some 500
Of these would lose out. More than
half of this force now is writing .
history Of the operation of the recov.
cry act and of the many codes.
AS a guess" he continued, there
third February l, but they depend
on the wishes of congressional COM
mittees as to additional light on N.
r. A. activities.
In the field, the force is keeping in
touch with the conditions growing out
of the outlawing of codes in so far as
they affect employers, employees and
consumers, compiling also informa-
ton which is expected to have definite
bearing on any further trade practice
operations.
Over the country, about to 10
employees a week are leaving for other
work and these positions are not being
filled, Martin said, except in emer-
gency, and then only in rare in
stances.
For several months the N. r. A.
reduction has been subject of study,
with officials attempting to ease the
situation as much as possible by find
ing other employment for those being
dropped.
At the end of May, before the Su-
preme Court outlawed the codes, the
local force stood near $500 and that
in the field 1900. In the former
group the separation has been run
ming from 300 to 500 monthly: in the
latter the principal cut-40o-came in
August.
