SURVEY STARTS
Of CAPITOL
PLUMBING

Architects and engineers today
were investiga ting the charge That
plumbing in the Capitol is so de-
fective that disease threatens the
lives of Senators and Representa-.
tives.
August Eccard, civil engineer in
the office Of David Lynn, architect
Of the Capitol, has made an inves-
tigation into each of the IL
spots tabulated by representatives
of the National Association of
Master Plumbers. His findings
will be presented to Mr.. Lynn.
The plumbing in the Capitol
Building was completely renewed
in 1893 and survey was made OF
all the fixtures in 1920.
No Complaints Received
Since then no complaints have
been received and Mr.. Lynn does
not believe the outburst of the
engineers before the House Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee will result in revelations OF
any serious conditions. 1t is ad.
mitted that perhaps minor defects
can be found, just as they can be
found in any large building.
The threat of disease is min
imized by the fact that three
large sewer outlets of oval shape,
three and a half by five feet, are
constantly in use and there is no
chance of sewage backing up
into any Of the water pipes, he de-
clared.
New Survey Planned
Despite the favorable report ex-
pected today, another survey of
the entire plumbing system is to
be undertaken.
District Commissioner Dan I.
Sultan, who is conducting a CITY,
wide survey of plumbing in hotels
and large buildings, has agreed
to include the Capitol and the
Senate and House Office build
ings in his investigation.
Commissioner Sultan will be
called before the House Commit
tee at 10 o'clock Tuesday to ex-
plain how far he has gone in his
survey and how exhaustive he in
tends to make it.
If the commissioners survey is
not make in a detailed manner, it
is believed the committee will
insist on a special investigation in
the Capitol to allay any fears Of
an outbreak of disease.

THREE WOMEN
WIN PRIZES
|NCONTEST

The Washington Times today
takes times out to salute three
lucky ladies as prize winners Of
its contest for the best letters writ
ten for or against the repeal of
section 213 of the economy act,
known as the Married Workers"
clause.
Outpacing a large field Of en-
tries with masterful contributions,
Miss Lois Carpenter, 1865 Column
bia Rd. N. w.. wins the first
prize. The second award goes to
Liza B. Moncure, 1884 Hamlin
st. N. E., and the third to an
unidentified lady who signs her
self "Kitchenette Poet"
Brief and to Point
The contest rules provide that
the first six winners shall receive
tickets good for two for the sea-
son stock performances of the
National Theater and the remain.
ing 10 to the opening perform.
ance which is scheduled for April
20 and which co-stars Nancy
Sheridan and Roy Roberts in
Accent on Youth"
Without exception, the prize
winning letters announced today
were brief, to the point and in
telligently written and well
worded.
Miss Carpenter, the first prize
winner, states in no uncertain
terms that she is opposed to re-
peal. She says, in part:
I'm our present state of I'M
employment and with Govern
ment plums among the finest on
the market, why shouldn't they
be shared with a greater num-
be rof families? The married
persons clauses should make
this possible"
Again she says:
IF evidence shows the greater
number of employees dismissed
under the clause come from the
lower-paid group, is that the
fault of the clause or of those
who interpret it and fail to en-
force it JUSTIFY"
Miss Moncure, second ranking,
just as emphatically favors repeal.
In somewhat poetical fashion, a
la Walt Mason. she voices herself
as follows:
What have / done? They
told me two could live cheaply
as one. Two can live, yes, but
that doesn't mean four. Not
that we minded a bit being
poor. 1 wanted a son, and
daughter, too. A daughter for
life, soldier for you"
VIEWS IN RHYME
1.-THE Kitchenette Poet" proves
al, of that in her rhyming request
for repeal. She earned the third
call by expressing herself in this
fashion:
"The Wise Men in our Congress
see the injustice in this rule,
They have depth of vision not
acquired in critics school.
With Mr.. Celler leading, and
the others helping out,
This Section 213 must go, it's
presence they will rOut."
All good points admirably cited.

New York, Sept. 16-,CUP)- Profit-taking reduced stock prices today while bonds were mixed in quiet trading, wheat jumped 1 3-4 to 2 1-4 cents and the dollar firmed In terms of European currencies.
 Wall, Street was not perturbed over the decline in the share mar ket which it considered merely technical. Reduction in volume of trading on the recession was viewed as highly favorable.
 Another cause than profit-taking was more cautious selling on growing. war probabilities. Lloyd's of London decided to eliminate war risk insurance from general poli- cies and increase rates where war risk insurance is sought. That move brought declines in European currencies. Meantime gold contin- ued to leave the Netherlands de- spite an increase in the bank rate.
 There were several other unfa- vorable items, including a letup in mail order sales gain velocity, Q drop of IA points in the country's steel operating rate and a poor first six months earnings statement by Kennecott Copper.
 Most favorable development was a rise in copper here and abroad. The domestic price touched 9

Some Facts About Ethiopia Just Disclosed By Expert

1 English, with colon put at the end of every word so that the words are neatly separated in manuscripts.
 The Ethiopian language has de- parted the least in it's form from the original proto-semitic, the mother tongue of 1000 years ago. Even Hebrew shows larger de- velopment than that of modern Ethiopia. The ancient dialect was used until the 17th century when it broke into modern variations These still are the most primitive semitic languages.
 Dr. Harrington said that the Ethiopian language is easy to pronounce and that its words are easy to remember because of their sonorous sound. The accent usually falls on the next to the last syl- lable. E- -3t
 He gave the following list of fig- ures in the Ethiopian language: one, ahhaduu; two. kel-eetuee: three. salastuu: four, arbaa'tuu; five, xamestu; hundred. meet. and thousand. ele.

SOCIALISTS ARE
 OFF SALES TAX

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 16- (UP)-The state socialist party to- day had washed it's hands of the sales tax issue as an emergency relief and revenue-raising measure at the expense of a threatened break in the ranks.
 After seven hours of bitter de- bate during the annual state con- vention Sunday, the sales tax ad- vocates were defeated 75 to 49 and "a resolution adopted calling for the general assembly to adopt a sound program of relief for our jobless and needy citizens"
 The resolution was passed over the objection of Mayor Jasper Me Levy, Bridgeport and at the insist enee of Devere Allen, Wilton edi- tor and candidate for U. s. senator in the last elections.
 Allen contended ~the sales tax threw theb urden lon the poor" and that the national and state executive committees were record ed as opposed to such a levy.
 During the last assembly session the three socialist senators de- clared their willingness to vote for a sales tax only if accompanied by an assessment on incomes. The tax bill was thrice defeated.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-09-16

Washington, Sept. 16-(UP)- While the state department has been using its good offices to help prevent an Ethiopian war, an expert of the Smithsonian institu- tion has been checking up on the African kingdom and found facts which answer some of Mussolini's 8 charges of the country not being civilized.
 Dr. John P. Harrington, expert ethnologist, found that:
 Ethiopia is the oldest Christian country, having been converted 200 years after Christ.
 Ethiopian is the oldest of lan- guages, outranking even the He- brew in which the Bible was writ ten.
 Ancient histories show that Ethiopia was under a heavy Chris tian priesthood at the time Italian emperors were prosecuting Chris tiAns by burning them alive and throwing them to the lions.
 The priestly class continued to play an important part in the country's life down to the present day when 1t indirectly is throwing its support to the battle to pre- serve the pation's indeRendence.
 Letters of Ethiopian words are placed from left to right just as in
