But Few Families Which
Do Not Recognize New
Customs With Varying
Degree
By CHARLES II. GUPTILL
ny Associated PressB


ROME, Jan. 14.-Sanctions i'm
posed by the League of Nations
have modified conspicuously the
home life of Italy.
There probably are few families
which do not recognize every day
some new change in their habits
ard customs which with varying
degrees of bitterness they ascrib=
to Sanctions"
Continuous hours" designed to
save office light and fuel compel
the breadwinners to appear at
their work at 9 a. M, somewhat
early for the average Italian. The
two hour "siesta" has been re-
placed by one hour for lunch, but
the days work is ended at 4 p. m.
School Children Happy
The younger children may look
upon sanctions with a less jaun-
diced eye than their elders. Ele-
mentary school hours were re-
duced to three daily and run
from 10 o'clock to one.
Family entertainment has been
restricted or rearranged. Theaters
begin their performances early so
as to close bya1Fp.s m. This means
an earlier night meal which many
an Italian dislikes. for he tradi-
tionally is a late diner.
After the theater the trip home
ward is made through streets in
semi-darkness. Public illumina-
ton is cut in half at 1920 p. m.
Many of the cafes and bars
which formerly provided ROme's
somewhat conservative might
life" are closed and their lights
extingu;shed before midnight.
Sunday Auto Rides Stepped
The Sunday automobile ride has
been eliminated for most families
by gasoline at $1.15 a gallon. A
few motorists have installed char
coal gurners in their autos. which.
while expensive to purchase. are
extraordinarily economical to
operate.
Another diversion. the Sunday
popular trains" of which many
a middle class family took adj
vantage has been banished. These
low priced excursions which Mus
sOlini introduced to familiarize
Italians with their own country
were abolished along with half-a-
hundred other trains when sched-
ules were curtailed to save fuel.
The newspaper the Italian reads
today is smaller-reduced to six
pages to conserve newsprint which
Italy imports.
The wedding rings Italians
wear, il they are loyal, are iron,
replacing the gold ones they gave
to the country.
Women Fight Sanctions
The women in particular are
earnest in their insistence that
only Italian or non-sanction;s st
products shall come into the
home. Their fervor is reinforced
constantly by flaming buy
Italian" and destroy sanctions
posters displayed throughout the
kingdom and by an unceasing
propaganda campaign in the news
papers.
The stone-walled and stone
floored houses which Italians in
habit are colder than usual this
winter.
Sanctions" is the invariable
excuse for chilly rooms. There
is, however. sometimes occasion
to believe that for many an apart
ment house owner or hotel pro.
prietor sanctions is merely q
handy euphemism for thriftiness.

ROCKVILLE, Md, August 22.-In-
stallation of additional safeguards to
strengthen Montgomery County's "es-
cape-proof" Jail was being considered
by officials tonight following the at
tempted break in which Hugh Walker,
42-year- -old warden, was choked and
clubbed into submission early today.
Authorities also were pondering the
filing of charges of assault with intent
to kill against William T. O'Brian, 80,
of Suitland, Md, and Michael MISC
wich, %, of Silver Spring, Md, who
have been named as Walkers assail-
ants and rngleaders of the plot in
which nine persons were to have fed
to freedom.
Frank H. Karn. president OF the
Board of Commissioners, and Sheriff
G. Ellington Bell made an inspection
tour of the lookup on the top floor OF
the court house this afternoon and
the former said immediate steps will
be taken to determine the cost of fur
ther protective devices. He declared
he felt them necessary"
Attempt Was Fourth.
The attempted break today, frus-
trated by two count policemen, was
the fourth that has been staged here,
despite the fact Federal and other
authorities have adjudged it escape
proof and modern in virtually every
respect. Only one escape was sue
cessful. however. and two prisoners
who got away were soon recaptured.
Walker, who escaped serious harm
in the vicious attack, was on duty
alone shortly after 3 am. when the
door of a large cell in which niue
prisoners were confined swung open
noiselessly and two men pounced upon
the solitary and unarmed guard.
The warden resisted but his attack
ers checked and beat him into sub
mission with iron bars torn from beds
in their cells. Walker was then tossed
to the floor and his head banged
time and again upon the concrete
walkway.
Police Sergt. Joseph A. Nolte and
Patrolman Ira Hover heard the COM
motion as they drove up in a radio
cruiser at the back of the court house,
which also houses police headquarters,
and sped up to the jail in an elevator
which runs from the ground floor Of
the building into the jail's main
corridor.
Were Hunting Keys.
The prisoners were vainly searching
for the keys needed to unlock the only
door between them and freedom-a
door guarding a stairway exit-when
they heard the elevator come to a stop.
They retreated to their cell and offered
no resistance when they were moved
into another cell for safekeeping.
Jailer Joseph Moxley, who, with his
family. had slept through the at
tempted break. was aroused and
Walker was carried to his home in
Gaithersburg after first-aid treatment.

Edward Hurley. 5, thought his
grandmother, Mrs Blanche Hurley,
was a mighty fine person and when
ever possible he was with her. So,

bodies.
Edward was fatally injured Friday
afternoon under an automobile in

he darted between two parked auto
mobiles, he was struck by car driven
by John w. Baxter, 26, Of 1926 Mich
olson street southeast. He died sew
eral hours later.
Driver Is Exonerated.
Baxter, whose wife and Mrs. Edna
Green and Mrs. Green's year-old baby
were with him, was exonerated by a
coroner's jury yesterday.
At the inquest John T. Hurley, the
boys grandfather, gave an eyewitness
account of the tragedy.
Both Edwards father, William Hur-
ley. and his grandfather were weep
ing Historically as they entered the
District morgue for the inquest, but
the latter partially regained his COM
posure as he began his recital. The
father continued to sob throughout
the inquest.
Grief-stricken, Edwards mother did
not appear at the inquest, but two
aunts, Misses Ruth and Mildred Hur-
ley, were present. In addition to
Blanche, the Hurleys have another
child, William, Jr., 3.
If that man had had his eyes in
the proper place he would not have
hit the boy!" the grandfather ex-
claimed as he took the stand.
He was sitting at front window
and saw Edward leave the house, he
testified, and also watched the Baxter
car as it drove down the street. He
did not see the child leave the curb,
but he heard the impact.
1.-The car struck the boy and raised
him that high he testified, holding
his hand several feet from the floor.
II said, My God. they've got some
child!" he continued. HE was covered
with blood" Here Hurley broke down.
Testify on Cars Speed.
The Baxter car was to have stopped
q short distance from the scene Of
the tragedy, since Mrs. Green, who
home, according to testimony Of the
occupants. They declared Baxter
was not driving more than 18 or 20
miles an hour.
As soon as Edwards grandmother
learned of the accident she prepared
to 60 to the hospital her husband
said after the inquest. Then suddenly
she stopped.
II can't 60. ]. believe I'm going
to die!" she exclaimed and fell to
the floor. 8
The boys father, Laundry truck
driver, was summoned to the hospital
from his route and passed within less
than a block Of his home.
II started to stop for my mother"
he sobbed. 1--WE always lived at home
and depended on her"
After repeated inquiries for her at
the hospital he was told Of her death.
