oped before the National Labor

Miss Evelyn Elizabeth Miller, the
supervisor, testified at an N.L.R.B.

Mabel Norman, waitress, was not
for incompetence or union activ-
tiles, but because she was annoyed
by Mrs. Norman's attitude.
One Of the reasons for the
strike was the dismissal of Mrs.
Norman.
Miss Miller testified that had
anyone else but Mrs. Norman or
ganized union activities in the cof-
fee shop there would have been
no trouble.

bigger Hunters-Wanted

What this country needs is bet
ter hunters, else the elk herds are
going to get out of hand. Officials
out at the Galletin forest in Mon
tana are complaining to headquar-
ters of the Forest Service here
that results of the one-month hunt
ing season were very disappolnt-
ing to them.
One thousand five hundred and
ninety-four doughty hunters tried
their luck during the 30-day
period but only 101 bagged any
game. Officials had hoped the fig
ilre would run as high as 750 or
1000. Maybe our hunters need
some lessons in mountain climb
ing. The SHOWS came late this year
and the elk stayed longer in the
high mountains where the hunters
could not get at them without a
lot Of climbing around.

INSPECTIONS
ORDERED AT
WILSON HIGH
z Engine Room Fires,
Texas Disaster Spur
Action Here

While the New London (Tex)
school explosion still shocks the
nation, it was revealed today that
the officiating system of the new
$1,150,000 woodrow Wilson High
School here is in a hazardous con-
dition.
Norman Nelson, principal Of the
school, pointed out today that
twice in two months, oil dripping
from a fuel pipe leading into one
of the burners has collected in q
vaporizing chamber, become ig.
nited and set fire in the engine
room.
New Building
The high school, which was COM
pleted in September, 1885, and ac-
commodities 1924 students, is the
only one in the District that Is
heated by oil. There are three huge
burners, designed in the mechani-
cal division of the District govern"
ment, used to heat the school.
The first fire which occurred In
January, presented a difficult
problem to firemen called to the
scene. Delay in eXtinguiShing it
resulted in Interpretation OF one
of the burners.
Recent Fire
The second fire occurred the
day before the New London dis
aSter, and quick action Of the
schools engineer force had the
blaze under control when firemen
arrived.
Taking all precautionary meth
ods within his power, Principal
Nelson reported the fires at the
Franklin Administration Building,
and later explained the existing
situation to the high school stu
dents at an assembly Of all classes
in the auditorium.
Notified of the fires by her son
who attends the school, Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president
of the Board Of Education, took
steps to start a complete inspec.
ton of the schools heating syS.
tenn which is now under. way.
Today she said:
1--WE are not going to have
any dangerous conditions in
Washington public schools If
we can help it."
INSPECTION STARTS
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Capt. H. S. Bishop, who,
with Fire Marshal Calvin Lau-
ber, has made a personal in
spection Of the plant. is trying
to determine whether the fault
with the system is in the design
or the operation.
Explaining that he thought
there was no imminent danger
of an explosion, he pointed out
that the same type Of heating
system is successfully in use at
the U. S. Soldiers Home.
Action toward prevention OF
similar fires and inspection work
to determine the cause has been
speeded up since last Thursdays
catastrophe.
Supervising Engineer Of the
Fuel Economy Service Of the Blu.
reau of Mines John Barley has
been called in to assist in the

UNSAFE AUTO
SALESH
Bureau of Standards
Test Bares Fifteen
Faults in Car

Charges that certain unscrupu-
lous secondhand automobile deal
ers are adding to the Districts
traffic hazards, by selling cars
which are mechanically unsafe,
were made today by the American
Automobile Association.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, notified by The Times of
the charges made by the automo-
bile club, admitted that a certain
amount of subterfuge and de-
ceipt is practiced by some deal
ers, and declared that for several
years he has urged that the Dis
trict operate inspection stations
to eliminate these practices.
In making its charges, the AAA
submitted a report made by the
Bureau of Standards on 1929
car purchased by an AAA employe
on a lot for $40.
False Certificate
The certificate of examination
and inspection was made out, GER
tifying that this car came up to
the District safety standards, but
the bureau report showed the car
was unsafe.
The salesman told the purchaser
that for SO he would obtain the
District tags, costing 81, and the
certificate of inspection.
Mr.. Van Duzer declared there is
no authorization of 81 charge for
the examination, but that legiti-
mate dealers do this work free OF
charge. The title and tags, under
District law, cannot be issued until
the inspection has been completed
and the car certified to be in
order.
Car Was Not Moved
But in this case, the AAA
charges, no inspection could have
been made, as the car was not
moved off of the lot, despite the
fact the certificate was signed by
an authorized person that the car
had been found to be in good con-
dition.
The purchaser of the car placed
a paper under the wheel, and this
paper was still there when he came
to take the car away, showing that
the vehicle had not been moved,
and SO the brakes could not have
bec.l tested.
The car was taken to the Bureau
of Standards where rigid tests were
applied, and these Is faults were
disclosed:
Foot brake stopped the car in
81 feet at a speed of 20 miles an
hour, almost S. per cent short
of the 4O-fOot stopping regula-
tiOn.
HEADLIGHTS FAULTY
Hand brake stopped the car
in 275 feet at 20 miles an hour.
while TIE regulations call for
stopping in IS feet.
Front brakes registered only
Is and 80 per cent of proper
braking effort, while the rear
brakes exerted only half the re-
quired effort.
On one brake the lining was
entirely gone, and one brake
drum was broken due to over
heating.
Headlights were tilted too high
and lenses did not match. One
bulb below candlepOwer.
Steering gear was bad and
badly worn tires were Of differ.
ent diameters.
Exhaust system leaked, and
there were 30 square inches of
open space in the floor boards,
allowing deadly carbon mOnOx-
ide fumes to rise into the body
Of the car.

Notes On Cheese

America makes as excellent
Swiss cheese as Switzerland does.
The only reason we don't think so
Is because all grades of American
Swiss cheese are marketed, where
as the thrifty Swiss only sends the
most carefully selected cheeseS to
this country. Swiss cheeses are
graded and their prices deter
mined largely by the appearance
Of the "eyeS."
One bit of Yankee chicanery was
recently discovered by the Agri.
culture Departments food inspec-
tors. A manufacturer was selling
O. sharp cheese which, as you know,
has a bite to it.
He used the tongue-and-taste
titillating slogan of "tingle on the
tongue" to describe the effect re-
sulting from aging. He got in
too much of a hurry though, and
did some extra-quick aging by
mixing plenty Of red pepper with
the cheese.
The pepper undoubtedly left a
"tingle on the tongue" but food
inspectors put a stop to it-they
don't allow the public to be
cheated if they can help it.
The ladies, God bless them! This
is probably the toast Of shoe manu-
facturers of the country. Almost
half OF the shoes made in the
United States the first month this
year were for women, misses and
children. Men used only a little
more than one-fourth of the shoes

HOW DO THEY
FEEL NOW:2

The once brilliant DR.. Kelly
Miller, former professor al
Howard University aud DR.. ID.
Ormonde Walker, president
OF Wilberforce university and
high A. NJ. E. churchman
must feel chagrin over their
pre- mature endorsement of
Senator Hugo L. Black for the
Supreme Court bench.
It now comes to light that
Mr.. Justice Black is or was Il
member Of the Alabama Ru
Klux klan, and took the fol
lowing oath:
Il swear that | will most
jealousy and valiantly shield
and preserve by any and all
justifiable means and methods
WHITE SUPREM ACY.
'4All to which | have sworn
to by this oath, / will seal with
my blood, be thou my witness
Almighty God. Amen"
The klan stands for white
supremacy and the subjugation
OF Jews, Catholics and Negroes
by lash, moose and torch.
1t is inconceivable that a
man of DIR. Walkers calibre,
at the head Of the oldest Ne
gro college III America would
commend the President fof
appointing d Ku Klux Khan
man to the Supreme Court. Yet
this is what DR.. Walker did in
d letter to President Roosevelt
and released to the press.
OF course no one is surprised
at the action Of Dr.. Miller, for
he has developed a strange
complex in his latter years.
President Roosevelt comes
up with an alibi, stating that
he never heard Of Black being
d member OF the Klan. But the
President and his investigating
committee had full access to
the records.
