'UnIucky Twelve Ask
Release; Woman in
Plea for Freedom

The "unlucky Dozen" henchmen
of Sam Beard, erstwhile kingpin of
Washington's gamblers, faced the
District Parole Board today at the
District Reformatory, Lorton, Va.
Sentenced to terms of one to
three years, the IL appeared before
the board today in an effort to
obtain release from the remainder
of their sentences. They we're con-
victed with Beard in 1885, but did
not begin service of their terms I'M
til year ago when higher courts
refused their appeals.
The IL are: William G. Smith,
John j. Satori, Joseph A. O'Cana-
han, Timothy H. Noel, Fred j.
Meese, Lewis L. Levy, Sidney Kap-
Ian, Melville G.. Jacobs, George E.
Hutchins, Fred H. Heck, James T.
Gallagher and William Carroll.
Beard was sentenced to a term
of two to six years and was
sent to a Federal prison to
serve his time. Even after the
lucklesS IL were incarcerated,
several attempts were made to
have them released, but were
denied.
The parole board also SEIZED
uled a hearing for Mary Sher-
man, also known as Mary Hip
pie, who was the center of a
white slave ring inquiry here last
winter. She was convicted with
her husband of conspiracy to
violate the Mann Act and given
term Of four to ten months.
She has been in the prison since
last December.

D. {. PROTESTS
GROW WITH
EACH MAIL
Heat Factor Pointed
To as Main Reason
Against Proposal

With the opinion of the
Districts citizenry divided over
whether the city should have day
light saving time, District Com
missioners today found themselves
in somewhat of quandary.
From the Capitol to the District
Building came copy of the bill
introduced by Representative
Leon Sacks, of Pennsylvania, with
a request that the city heads for
ward their recommendations on
the measure.
The Commissioners decided to
take up the ticklish problem at
their next meeting, which prob
ably will be held tomorrow. The
city heads are aware that the
Board of Trade, the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association
and other merchant groups have
Endorsed the measure, while
numerous letters from individuals,
some signed tired mothers" have
poured in to the House District
Committee in opposition to the
bill.
The bill provides that the city
go on daylight saving time this
year from April "a to october "a.
More Protests In
Additional protests were re-
ceived by the committee today
against the proposal.
One protestant, signing himself
as "a native Of the District" wrote
that he was indeed sick" when he
read that the daylight saving bill
had been proposed. He recon-
mended that the proposition be
put before the people Of the Dis
trict for vote, and asked:
isn't the bill really advocated
by the people from the States,
and not by real natives of the
District?
Summers in Washington are
bad enough without adding an
other hour to a long, hot day.
Daylight saving to me means
less sleep, more work and more
heat. Do let us have as much
rest as we can. Let us have
Gods time. We have enough
speed as it is"
ANOTHER OBJECTION
Miss Mable A. Hunt, of 100
Sixteenth st. N. W., opposed the
daylight saving measure on the
ground that Government employ
es would be dismissed from office
at $3.50 p. m, which she
contended is the hottest time of
day. She also pointed out that
it is almost impossible to sleep
until midnight because of the
heat and that working people
really need the additional hour of
sleep they get in the morning. She
added:
Living conditions being
what they are in Washington,
we know that thousands Of
Government employees live in
rOOming houses and tiny apart
ments close to the heart of the
city, where the heat of the day
fingers long after shutdown"

When the Prick Art Reference
Library of New York needs some
body to do research work in
American art they call on Mrs.
Katherine McCook Knox.
Mrs. Knox, daughter of the late
Representative Arson G. McCook,
of New York, is one of the few
women historians in the country.
She also is a writer on early
Americana and an expert on old
portraits.
AS student at the Spence
School in New York, she special
lied in American history. Today,
as a woman of the world, she has,
through years of study, developed
into an expert on historical and
biographical research.
Dusty old files, faded letters,
historical papers and reference
books hold no. terrors for her. She
doteS on 'em. She'll pore for hours
over what to the average individ-
ual is just so much dry stuff in
order to check and recheck some
fact.
Locked in Library
Once, so absorbed was she that
she was locked in for the night
while working among the stacks"
at the Library of Congress. Then
followed a bad half hour, Mrs.
Knox admitted later, when she
had to feel her way in the dark
ness to the door. Fortunately, the
Waterman heard her banging.
Now she watches the signal lights.
Tall, slender, and vivacious, this
Srnartly-gowned woman does not
look like the proverbial tookworm.
She is full of laughter, health and
friendlineSs. She does research
work because she loves it and she
has, despite many tempting offers,
refused to turn professional.
Her apartment at 2101 Connect
cut Ave. is charmingly furnished.
Many of her things might have
come from the American Wing in
the Metropolitan Museum in New
York. There is a corner china
cabinet, handmade, that came
from Southern Maryland, and a
handmade sewing cabinet a col
lector might envy. Her desk is
full Of reference books, clippings,
copies of photographs of famous
paintings and other data neces-
Sary in her work.
Amazingly Industrious
Apparently her capacity for
work is tremendous. Sponsors of
centennials, bicentennials and ses-
quicentennials know this for they
turn to Mrs. Knox for assistance
in their research work.
She was Washington chairman
of the Junior League exhibition of
oil paintings and sculptures given
at Studio House here last January.
Much of the research on the Bicen-
tennial Exhibition in 1882 was
done by Mrs. Knox. 1t was through
her efforts and cooperation of her
friends, of which she has many.
that she was able to procure the
loan of historical portraits of
Washington and his associates. To

HOOPER YOUTH
DIES OF CUTS

Efforts of students of Gallau-

Robert Hooper, 17-year-old son of
the college business manager,
failed when the youth died last
night in Georgetown University
Hospital.
The youth accompanied his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
Hooper, on a picnic at Great Falls,
Va, Sunday and was cut on the

containing dry ice exploded.
He was rushed to the hospital

LAWS THAT HIT FARMER TWICE

The Department of Agriculture
has issued a report ON Price
Spreads Between the Farmer and
the Consumer"
1t shows that the farmers share
of the consumers dollar has not ex-
ceeded so per cent since 1920, but
rose to Al per cent in 1886, as COM
pared with a low of 33 per cent in
1882. Four causes for the year to
year change in the spread, are Civ
en-: /. Changes in hourly wage rates
and changes In other cost items; 2.
Changes in profits of professors and
dealers; 8. Changes In the efficiency
of the marketing system; 4. Changes
in the amounts of processing and In
the amounts of other kinds of SER
vices required to deliver goods to the
ultimate consumer.
From this, II is apparent that the
farmers share of the final selling
price of what he produces. is very
largely dependent on the economy or
lack of it of the distributing and
marketing machine. If large num-
ber of middlemen are involved In
moving goods, the farmer gets less.
If retailers are wasteful. with high
overheads which are reflected in big
mark-ups, he gets less. If the costs
of carrying ON distributor and re-
taller operations are increased for
any reason, he gets less.
There could be no better illustra-
tion of the fallacies of laws and spe-
cial taxes whose inevitable result is
TO coddle the middleman, whether
necessary or inefficient. by law; to
eliminate all or part of the econo-
mics that follow long-established
mass-retailing practices; and TO ar
tificially increase the overhead costs
of stores whose policy is to sell
maximum amount of goods at the |
lowest price.
Such laws and taxes hit the far
mer twice-he Is a consumer as we'll |
as a producer. They make him pay |
more for what he buys. while he gets
less for what he sells.

THE DUKE WILL SEE

Every man is naturally proud OF
his accomplishments, and doubly
proud when, by comparison, his ac-
complishments are shown to excel
those of his neighbOr.
That comparison is about to be
made. The Duke of Windsor is COM
ing to America to study the Am
eTican Way" particularly the wages
and living standards of the working
peoples.
In a German tool factory, one de-
scribed as the industrial pride of
the German government" the Duke
recently found that workers were
earnings 10 cents per hour-$4,S0
per week.
Every one knows what this royal
visitor will find in America: The
worlds hishest wage scale. the
worlds highest living standard. the
worlds shortest working week-14.-
900 900 families owning their own
homes.
Isn't that reason to be proud Of the
american Way?" Is there any bet
ter and more convincing argument
for preservation of the American
system of private enterprise?

rHREE TESTS

Everyone has heard OF the remark
able record of solvency made by the
life insurance industry during the
longest and severeest depression In
American history. What few real
ize is that the depression was the
third OF three major tests OF the
soundness of life insurance occurring
within 20 years.
The world war, with Its horrible
casualty lists. was the first. The Sc
ccnd was the great influenza epi-
demic. The mortality tables did not
hold good during these cataclysms--
deaths were at tremendously high
er rate. and the payments that had
to be made by the companies were
far greater than could have been an
ticipated. Yet the industry came
through with an almost unblemished
record.

Il think the railroads did tn,
swellest job of moving the South
west portion of the winter whea
crop this year that / have ever seer
/ done," says Clyde M. Reed, former
governor of Kansas. with a cal
supply that feared might be made.
Quate, record-breaking movement
to markets was made with a mini
mum wheat crop when / see 1t, and
certainly saw 1t this year."
What was achieved this summer
during the peak wheat loading, is q
striking example OF how competing
railroads work together as a unified,
cooperative system when they face a
difficult transportation problem. The
huge crop had to be moved within
two or three weeks. 1t was the lar
gest crop, with one exception, In IL
years and weather conditions were
such that the whole production area
of the Southwest came into harvest
at about the same time. Further
more, depression had caused a sub
stantial reduction in the number of
box cars available for grain loading,
while the increased movement of
other freight throughout the country
this summer took cars that might
otherwise have been used for the
wheat.
The railroads, needless to say,
planned for months ahead to per-
feet the complicated system that
moved the crop with the absolute
minimum of delay. Unprecedented
steps were taken to make sure that
every available car would be on
hand in wheat shipping centers. The
only car shortages were of brief
duration and were reported by two
railroads operating small branch
lines of limited facilities.
Time after time the railroads have
