CHANGE IN NAME
KILLS FUND BILL
VETERANS Memorial Day
Corporation" Held in Veto
Not to Exist.

When the sponsors OF legislation TO
appropriate S2,500 for veterans Me-
mortal Day services consented to
change the name of the Grand Army
Of the Republic Memorial Day Corp.
to the Veterans Memorial Day Corp"
to assuage the feeling of Civil War
sectionaliSm which still exists in some
quarters on Capitol Hill they killed
the bill.
President Roosevelt vetoed the
measure yesterday, giving as one of
the reasons the fact that the Vet
erans' Memorial Day Corp" did not
exist.
Private sponsors of the legislation
admitted the President was right
there is no such organization. What
was meant, they said, was the Grand
Army of the Republic Memorial Day
Corp, Department of the Potomac,
District of Columbia.
Representative McSwain of South
Carolina. who introduced the bill. had
been opposing such legislation for sew
eral years under the impression that
all the graves to be decorated with
Federal money we're those Of late
residents of Washington and environs.
He thought the city not the Nation,
should make the requested contribu-
ton.
Finally he was brought around to
favor the bill. But at the inSiStence
of Southerners in Congress the recip-
lent organization was referred to in
the bill as The Veterans Memorial
Day Corp"
At House Military Affairs Subcom-
mittee hearings on the measure, James
G. Yaden, president of the Memorial
Day Corp. and past department COM
mander of the United Spanish War
Veterans, testified there is mo section
aliSm in this work that We do none
whatever"
Harlan Wood, vice president of the
corporation testified that the organi-
zation consisted of four representatives
each of the G. A. R., United Spanish
War Veterans, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, American Legion and Disabled
American Veterans.
Despite their testimony as to the
non-Sectional nature of an organiza-
tion with sectional implication in its
name, McSwain changed the wording
OF the bill to purge it of the latter.
Fear of Precedent.
Another objection of the Presidents
was that if money was appropriated in
the District it would set a precedent
that might result in extending the
practice to cemeteries in other sec
tlons-an expensive undertaking.
The Presidents veto message also
called attention to the fact that the
Government furnishes and maintains
burial grounds for its veterans, fur
nishes each grave with a properly in
scribed headStone and on Memorial
Day places an American flag on each
grave. He said he was confident that
a more personal and enduring COM
memoration would be maintained if
in the future, as in the past, the vet
erans' organizations, in cooperation
with other citizens, continue their re-
sponsibility for placing flowers on vet
erans' graves.

HAND SIGNALS
RECOMMENDED
BY MOTORISTS

With the peak of summer traffic
fast approaching, plea is made for
the universal use of hand signals by
all drivers by the Sun Oil Company's
local district manager, Mr.. R. Wier,
Jr.
Without these signals" he explain
ed, motorists are running a greater
risk of an accident all the time and
every time they make left or right
turn or slow down. We've all got
to remember that the man in back of
us is never driving ouija board and
can't read our minds. In fact, this
subject is so important that the Sun
Oil Company is now publishing in its
advertising the recommended hand
signals as revised and approved by
the fourth national Street and High
way Conference held in 1884. In adj
dition to these widely known and gen.
orally accepted set of hand signals
several states have legalized signals
Of their own and it would pay every
motorist to become acquainted with
the legal signals of the state through
which he is driving.
Another wise move is to make
sure that you are always driving on
hair-triggered motor fuel like Blue
Sunoco-one which will snap you out
of tight spots in traffic or on hills.
Blue Sunoco's high-powered accelera-
ton permits you to jump like 9
frightened deer and to slow down for
uphill curves, and then pick up speed
again without taking your hands from
the wheel. Keep your car in gooC
mechanical condition, watch you
tires, use the prescribed hand signals
and a fast acting motor fuel, anC
you'll be as safe as human ingenuity
can make you-but always remember
fundamental safety lies with the mar
behind the Wheel"

and the radio telephone station at
Houlton, Maine, short wave radio tele
phone receiving and transmitting sets
designed for airplanes were employed,
according to the Bell Laboratories
Record. These airplane sets were used
to bridge the crossing of the Penob-
scot River at Houlton, Maine, which
was swollen from its ordinary three
quarter mile width to an area of more
than six miles in width. Until this air
plane equipment was installed, tele-
phone service was maintained by al
ternate routings through Calais.
Long distance telephone calls during
the flood period were more than
doubled in volume over one weekend.
For example, on Sunday of the flood
period, telephone calls at Buffalo were
245 per cent above normal; at Pitts
burgh, 211 per cent; at Cleveland, 1877
per cent; at Philadelphia, 95 per cent;
New York City, sc per cent, and
Washington, D. c., rs per cent. To
handle this great volume of telephone
calls, double the usual number Of oper-
ators were employed at switchboards
in the greater number Of central of
fees.
Repair work in the meantime was
being rushed with supplies being ship
ped in by motor trucks and express
trains. Repair forces were drawn from
various sections Of the country to
restore service as promptly as posi-
BILE in the affected areas.

Uninterrupted telephone service in
many sections of the country during
recent floods and storms was tie re-
suit of system of nitrogen Gas pres
sure used in long distance cables, On
Grafton of this gas pressure system, a
development of the Bell Telephone
Laboratories, makes it possible by
reading meters in telephone test room
offices to determine if the cables have
developed leaks in the sheathing that
would let in water to the paper-in-
sulated wires. AS result of these gas
filled cables, but few leaks were dis
closed during the floods.
Even where cables were battered by
floating debris or strained by slipping
poles in flood-swept areas, causing
cracks to appear or openings to be
made in the cable sheathing, the gas
under pressure delayed the entrance
of water, with the result that tele-
phone service was continued in many
cases until the food waters had re-
coded and permanent repairs could be
made.
Where aerial wire lines Of tele-
phone, telegraph and power companies
were torn out, long distance telephone
cables continued to function although
in many cases they were deeply SUBJ
merged for days at time.
