SPORTS

Baseball and track are progress
ing as the spring sports this year.
Fine turnouts for baseball have
produced keen competition for
berths on the team. The practices
are usually spent in this way: First
a little limbering up of the old
soup-bones to iron out any creaks
that may be lurking. Infield prac-
tice follows while some one hits
flies to the outfielders. Batting
practice takes place with each fell
low given his cut at the pill Then,
If time and number Of candidates
permits, short game Of probably
or innings Is in order. Last
Thursday, a group OF boys from
south Of town were in and gave the
mage. Bud Soltau hurled for the
local nine and showed some real
stuff. The squad members follow:
Bud Soltau, Ray Walker, Don
Ethun, Robert Rydholm, Don De-
ziel, Russ Larson, Ed. Schneider,

lard Rasmussen, Ray Berggreen,
Carl Hildebrand, Hiram Bellinger,
George Conkey, Jim Pangburn,
Kenneth Forsberg, Gordon and
Henry Johnson, Herbert Hanson,
Maurice Mischke, Art Peterson,
and Ronald Rivette.
The members Of the track squad
who have been working out faith
fully night after night are John
Egan, Harland Potter, and Carl

SWING
TO The
BIG GALLON

TTERE are 3 big reasons why
III you'll eventually swing
to the Big Gallon of Tydol
Gasoline. Its hi-test quality
plus it's exclusive top-cylinder
oil, plus it's special cleaning
agent. These friple-acfion fea-
lures give sweeter, speedier,
safer action to modern motors.
Together they oil tight-fittine
valves and pistons. Together
they check carbon depos-

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
WILL Be IMPROVED
Blinds and Fire Devices Are
Included in List of
Installations.
Several improvements to Washing

Several improvements to Washing
tons public buildings are in progress
or in prospect, Charles A. Peters, jr.,
assistant director of the National
Park Service, in charge of buildings,
announced today. Elevator better
ment, new blinds, fire protective de-
vices and better electrical equipment
are included
Under funds recently made avail
able by Congress it will be possible
to place new Venetian blinds in about
one-third Of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue Building, Peters said.
Some $4,000 will be spent for in
stalling an additional feed water pump
in the central heating plant. This
is considered highly important, the
buildings chief declared, for it will
enable more water to be pumped into
the boilers, further assuring the COM
fort Of Government workers during
the cold weather.
For improvement to the electric
wiring in the Navy and Munitions
Buildings some $4,000 will be ex-
pended. The electric wiring is now
considered badly overloaded, Peters
explained.
Work previously started is being
carried forward in installing new
high-speed elevators in a number of
Government buildings. These include
the Veterans Administration, the old
Southern Railway Building and the
Civil Service Commission. Fire-pre-
vention sprinkler systems, being in
stalled In q number Of buildings, are
about completed.

TWO BUREAUS CALM
afraid POSSIBILITY

The Maritime Commission and the
Bureau of Navigation indicated today
that neither is upset at the prospect
of a till between them over q matter
of 5000.
The bureau pays its inspectors $4,000
a year and the commission pays its
inspectors $4,000. When the Civil
Service Commission announced yester-
day that it soon would hold examina-
tions for M. c. inspectors, a few quick
thinkers concluded that the examina-
ton would mean a raid on the Navi-
cation Bureau. But the bureau said:
I'VE don't expect to lose many Of
our men. We think that perhaps in
another year we will get their pay
raised"
The commission reported:
I'VE use only "A inspectors and we
have II of them already. Besides,
Navigation Bureau inspectors are ex-
perts either on hulls or on machinery
Our men must be able to inspect both
and look out to see that the Govern,
ments interest in our ships Is pro-
tected."
The bureau has 800 inspectors.

Plans Tor the construction OF lQree
new buildings to provide better IA
cilities for the National Institute Of
Health were announced today.
The buildings will be erected on a
45-acre tract of wooded land, IA
miles beyond Bethesda, Nd, on the
Rockville highway. The property was
donated to the United States Public
Health Service for this purpose in
1885 by the late Luke 1. Wilson,
Washington business man.
Architects of the Treasury Depart
ment's Procurement Division are pre-
pairing drawings and specifications
for the buildings, preliminary to adj
vertising for bids for the construc-
ton work in the near future, it was
announced.
The three structures to b. erected
Immediately will serve as the nucleus
for projected vast new national re-
search center for work designed to
reduce the menace Of disease. They
will house activities of the National
Institute Of Health which are now
scattered among several locations.
The plans make provision for future
construction of two more buildings
in the group. The institute will re-
tain its present headquarters at
Twenty fifth and E streets until COM
pletion of the latter group.
$1,143,0o0 Available.
A total allotment of $l,143,000 from
the emergency construction program
acts Of 1884 and 1886 is available for
construction of the three buildings.
The new $750,00O National Cancer
Institute, recently authorized by Con-
gress, probably will be built on the
same tract OF land and its work CO.
ordinated with that Of the National
Institute of Health, officials believe.
No money has yet been appropriated
for the cancer institute. Both in
stitutes are administered under the
United States Public Health Service.
Better facilities provided by the
new buildings will greatly increase
efficiency of the National Institute
of Health, according to DR.. r. E.
Dyer, assistant director.
'They will enable us to attack our
old problems more efficiently and
also to take on more research" he
said. "Our task is to carry on. re-
search in efforts to determine the
cause, prevention and cure of all dis
eases that affect man. We are now too
cramped for space to do everything
we would like to do"

ties may make it possible to add to

SIGNS
THREE D. c. BILLS
Disapproves Another Which
Would Change Name of
Police Court.

President Roosevelt today signed
three bills affecting the District and
disapproved another which would have
changed the name of Police Court to
City Court.
He also signed more than a score
of other measures, including the de-
ficiency bill.
The President placed his approval
on the bill to create q real estate
commission in the District, a reso-
luton amending the District alcoholic
beverage control act and a bill to
regulate adoption proceedings here.
Announces Dsapproval.
He announced his dlsapproval of
the Police Court bill in the following
statement:
THE court is clothed only with GRIM
inal jurisdiction and, therefore, Po-
lice Court seems to be an appropriate
designation. The proposed change Of
name might be taken as an indica-
ton that civil jurisdiction has been
conferred on that tribunal in addition
to criminal jurisdiction.
Moreover, in view of the fact that
there is Municipal Court in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which has similar
jurisdiction, confusion may possibly
result from the similarity OF names
city court and municipal court"
Another bill signed by the President
authorized the Maryland State Roads
Commission to construct, maintain
and operate q free highway bridge
across Sinepuxent Bay in Worcester
County, Md, at Ocean City, to replace
bridge now in the site.
Designed to Protect Public.
The Real Estate Commission is de-
signed Ito protect the public against
fraud in real estate transactions and
for other purposes" The act de-
fines, regulates and provides for the
licensing of real estate brokers, busi-
ness chance brokers and real estate
statesmen.
The commission, to be appointed by
the District Commissioners, will have
authority to revoke or suspend
licenses for fraudulent or unethical
practices.
The liquor law amendment will
limit to one gallon the amount of al
coholic beverages an individual may
bring into the city at one time; will
eliminate the bond required Of dealers
to insure payment of taxes; will do
away with the advertising OF applica-
tions for renewal Of existing licenses
and will give the A. B. c. Board dis
cretion as to placarding of places
where licenses have been suspended.
New Adoption Law.
Under the new adoption law, an
improved legal procedure for adoption
OF children in the District is provided.
An important requirement will be
that public welfare or other social and
religious agencies examine applica-
tions before adoptions are made final.
There is also requirement that the
child spend six months in the new
home before the decree is made
permanent.
The largest appropriation in the
deficiency bill is $25,000,000 for the
construction Of public buildings, in
cluding an annex to the Government
Printing ONCE, and completion Of an
additional building for the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing.
