Long awaited, the answer to
what has befallen the thousands
of families in the "employable"
class, who we're cast off relief rolls
here last March, came today when
Welfare Director Elwood Street
made public survey of conditions
among 488 of these families.
Under Streets direction, Relief
Director M. Alice Hill had a case
study made of a cross-section in
the "employable" class during the

Guilty to Face Heavy
Fines and Prison,
Is Warning

On the plea of an unidentified
attorney representing the Greek
Embassy, the case of Nick
Cladis, of the 900 block Of
M st. N. E., charged with viO-
lating wOrkmen's compensation
insurance laws, was continued
until October Is by Judge
Walter J. Casey, of Police Court.
The continuance was sought
to determine whether interfer-
ence by the Greek Embassy was
justified.
Warfare on employers seeking
to evade mandates of the District
Workmens Compensation Act was
declared today by the District di.
vision of the United States EN-.
ployes Compensation Commission
in summoning Nick Cladis, a pro-
duce dealer, for a preliminary
hearing on alleged violation of the
local ordinance.
Ushering in what may series
of similar prosecutions, Col. z.
Lewis Dolby, chief counsel for the
District Compensation Board, de.
clared:
1--WE have had no difficulty
with reputable employers. IT'S
those employers who, to save a
little money, are flOuting the
law that we're after"
MAY PAY $1,000
Proven failure of Cladis to pro-
cure compensation insurance for
his employees will make the prod.
uce dealer guilty of a misdemeanor
punishable by maXima of $1,000
fine or one year in Jail or both.
According to Colonel Dolby, a
New York court recently levied
Jail sentence for violation in that
State.
Cladis is accused of violating
the act in the instance of at least
one employee, the Government
charges. CladiS did not carry com.
pensation insurance and when this
failure was called to his attention,
Cladis refused to take out the in
surance for his workers, Colonel
Dolby stated.

Returning to the Capital, Single

leading to the entering of judg-

against Cladis resulting in today's
hearing.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

It is pretty hard to teach children thrift when every copper in the pocket is precious. Many parents cannot give their children an ale lowance, however small. But has it ever occurred to us that this very experience teaches much in itself? Tn an atmosphere of forever scrap ing for Ilickels and dimes the child learns the real meaning of money.
 I think 1t is the needless family, the extravagant one aa1d the let's- be-merry-today home where holes burn in every pocket and small change is treated without reverence, that has Q job ahead of 1t teaching little Henry conservation. Perhaps he doesn't know thet his daddy does without lunch to buy cigarets or his mother without new tea towels to buy lipstick. But. he does see the cigarets and the lipstick and to his small mind they are both foolish things.
 Parents have the right to buy what they want and need, without the approval of the small fry, of course. But my point is that little folk may be slow in evaluating money as long as the other members of the family spend 1t for things these tots THINK foolish.
 Allowance Plan Fails, Too
 Actually, I have foup1 1ss.a. -he theory of the weekly stipend for Q child, say twenty-five cents, ten to put in his bank and fifteen to lay out on candy or movies, has not proved the wonder 1t promised. 1n some cases, yes. But money in the bank, abstract money, that is, doesn't seem to impress @ boy or girl the way 1t should. It may rattle pleas antly and he may simply not be able to contain himself for joy when he hears he has almost enough to go in the big bank next Saturday. But mostly he is indifferent, I think.
 If the idea is consistently car- ried out to Q pre-planned point. much good may result. This I con- cede. But after month or two the paymaster may lose interest. Henry's bank is the last to get fed. Not only this, but when two and two won't make five for the milkman, his bank too often makes up the deficit.
 If everything has worked out suc- cessfully and his china pig has had It's regular rations, has not been turned upside down too often to dis gorge his feed and is prized by his owner as real treasure, I earnestly plead that Porky be allowed to con- tinue as real entity for good in Henrys life.
 The value of the bank is indis- putable when other things are fa- voramble and work in conjunction. But the bank alone is not enough. There must be 8 general attitude of thrift in family life, and Q seri- ousness about spending and sav- ing, if Henry Is to be Q save-thrift instead of spendthrift. Why make him the goat and explain the virtue of keeping an ace in the hole, or an umbrella for @ wet day, when the rest of the family never thinks of putting Q dime away7

-BkAUTY- Glori6ing Yourself
 Rx Alicia Hart
By Alicia Hart

When you have been on a liquid diet for three days and have prom ised yourself that you'll be sensible about the amount of food you eat from now on. face the fact that you need more exercise in the springtime than during any other season. You may have been hard and lean and supple last fall after a summer of outdoor sports, but look at your figure now.
 What are you going to do about the fat that accumulated around your waistline since the Christmas holidays? Doesn't that extra chin, no matter how small. bother you more now that it's time to look around for Easter clothes? Have you measured your hips to see whether or not they are larger than they were last fail2 You've been sitting down too much this past winter. you know.
 Very well, then, make Q resolu- ton to take Q twenty~minute walk each and every day. Step briskly. holding your chest high. head straight. and taking deep breaths.

ficient personality, spirit, independ- ence, strength of character or self- respect to decline politely.
 From the attitude of most men I gather that they have the hta-
 est opinion that alcohol makes a
 man manly. They believe 1t dces
 nank things for a man. For in-
 stance they often declare that
 "beer is good for you, 1t cleanses
 the kidneys and nourishes :"
 Why should the kidneys need cleansing, wonder? Of course I'm only 6 door-to-door doctor and I wouldn't know about that. AS for the nourishment in beer, as I have carefully pointed out here now and again, a glass of the best beer, any beer, yields approximately 120 cal- ories. A glass of milk yields ap- proximately 160 calories.
 It is evident that the dis who imagine beer, wine or liquor Is nourishing or beneficial are wrong. They just think they are better, stronger, smarter. wiser, when they are under the effects of alcohol.

The Truth About Diet

 Effective In Reducing Epilepsy
|ToDAYs HEALTH QUESTION

O.-Rhubarb and tomatoes, cooked in aluminium pans, leave the pans several shades brighter. Is this harmful to one who eats the rhubarb or tomatoes? Is rhubarb of any value from the standpoint of vitamins? Is 1t fattening?
 A.-The effect of rhubarb and tomatoes on aluminium has alarmed many persons. There is no evidence, how ever, that any harm comes from eating foods cooked in aluminium pans. The small amount of aluminium com- pounds which may be taken in will have no effect on a person, because such alumi- mum compounds do not dis solve and are not absorbed by the body.
 Rhubarb is of considerable value, as are all fresh vege- tables, from the standpoint of vitamins. It is not parti- cularly high in sugar content and therefore makes a useful ingredient of a diet for one who does not wish to gain weight. It does, however, have definite laxative quail ties and therefore may have to be taken in moderation by certain persons.
