MINORS ARE WARNED

Falsifying Statement of Age May

Cans Says.

Warning that minors who falsify
their statement of age to persuade
liquor store proprietors to sell liquor to
them, may be fined $25 or imprisoned
for 10 days for each offense, was issued
yesterday by Isaac Cans, member of
the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
Cans declared he was satisfied the
youths would stop the practice if they
realized such deceit was in violation
Of terms Of the District liquor act
I'VE find that some young men
when visiting restaurants or clubs and
when asked their age will say, either
In spirit of bravado or desiring to ap-
pear older than they are, that they are
over the age required to obtain intoxi-
eating beverages.
1.-THE proprietors of such places,
when in doubt, will ask the age of
the youth who comes in to be served,
and If he falsifies his age to the pro-
prtetor who asks this question, he is
committing q violation of the law,
which reads: That any minor who
falsely represents his age for the pur-
pose Of procuring any beverage shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and be fined for each offense not
more than $25, and in default of
payment Of such fine. shall be i'm
prisoned for not exceeding 10 days."

NICE AWAITING
RELIEF REPORT
Governor Expects to Hear
From Advisory Committee
by February 20.
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, February Gov.
Harry W. Nice said today he was Con-
f1dent" he will receive a report from
his special Relief Advisory Committee
between February Is and February 20.
He asserted that, meanwhile, he be-
lleved it was an excellent idea for city
and county members of the Legislature
to meet and discuss the relief problem
land inform themselves on the situa-
tion.'
Il do think that it would be I'M
wise, however, for me to call the
special session of the Legislature be-
fore I have been informed of all the
factors in the situation, including the
Casey report" the Governor said.
William j. Casey. Baltimore banker,
is chairman of the Advisory Com
mittee.
"It would be folly for me to appoint
a committee of the standing of the
Casey committee" he continued, "and
then to act before it had made its
report.
I am confident that I will receive
that report between February Is and
February 20, giving me time to dis
tribute the report to members of the
Legislature in time for them to
familiarize themselves with 1t before
the meeting of the special session.
Il see nothing in the situation
which leads me to- feel that should
call the session earlier than March l."

1852 IN DISTRICT
ON j. S. PAY ROLL
Federal Employment Rises
to 815,789, Drawing
$125,831,309.

Federal employment moved up to
815,789-111,692 in the District-in
December, and the pay roll advanced
nearly $7O0O.OO0 to s125,631 ,3o9. the
monthly report of the Civil Service
Commission showed yesterday.
This represented gain locally Of
942 and nationally Of 14,763 over
the respective November worker totals
of 110,745 and 689,334.
In Washington, the report disclosed,
the regular force in old-line agencies
was 1918, and that concerned with
relief activities in both old and new
groups 17,143. Other new establish
ments, exclusive of those with relief
functions, had 1881. In the field the
respective totals were 527,641, 1885,
687 and 40,769.
There were increases in the first
two classes and decrease in the lat
ter, both here and in the field. The
commission said the growth of the
old-line agencies was due to the trans
fer of about 5000 soil conservation
workers under the w. P. A. to the
Department of Agriculture, and that
the lump in relief totals-around
II .00O-represented the shift of ad-
ministrative State relief employees to
the w. P. A. pay roll.
Two new agencies appeared during
the month-the Puerto Rico Recon-
struction Administration and the Ma
tional Youth Administration. The
former starts off with 80 employees
here and 1858 in the field, and the
latter with 81 and 6, respectively.
Both are carried as Works Progress
ventures.

complaints that have come from par
ents regarding school courses, DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent. yes
terday released copies of correspon-
dence regarding complaints against the

World Setting for American History"
F. A. Roman, 5616 Nevada avenue,
complained last March 20 that the
course went beyond the text book and
depended too much on "word-of-
mouth" instructions from the teacher.
Later he charged that the system Of
instruction was result of the schools
here being compelled "to trail after
a national clique. which SO often is
international in its complex"
DR.. Ballou explained that the course
Intentionally had not been limited to
the text book and that the old ques-
ton and answer method of teaching,
based wholly upon text, was out
moded.
Roman also charged that a refer
ence book used by one of the teachers
was written by "a red at Columbia
University" Ballou wrote: II am in
terested in any books which are used
by teachers or pupils that are written
by persons you say are reds. I shall
be interested to have the names of
such books and the persons using
them. Moreover, if you know of any
teachers who are teaching radicalism
in our schools shall be glad to have
you 80 advise me"
