night at meeting of the West End
Citizens Association to investigate ad-
visibility of advocating removal of

new War and Navy buildings might
include the lots occupied by the tanks.
Further credence was given this be-
lief when it was stated that the
Heurich Brewing Co. has negotiated
for new site on Buzzard's Point.
A motion was adopted to continue
to press for one hour parking at K
street market, both In the market yard
and on parts Of Twenty-first and K
streets bounding the market site.
F. S. Yount, who operates a booth
at the market told the association he
had counted on one occasion 80 cars
parked for the greater part of the day
in the market yard. many Of them po-
lice cars attached to Precinct 3. next
door.
In answer to the request of c. Mar
Shal Fmnan chairman of the Ad-
visory Committee to the Washington
Auditorium Commission that sugges-
tlons for auditorium sites be sub
mltted by civic bodies the association
lndorsed East Capitol street and the

STAGGERED HOURS
BEGUN BY COURT
One Traffic Defender Sum-
moned for 3 Appearances
in 8 Hours.

The staggered hour system for
Traffic Court cases was put into
effect today with somewhat dubious
results. The plan was adopted by
the judges last week on recommended
ton of Judge Edward M. Curran as
a part of his proposed efficiency pro-
gram. Today, however. Judge Curran
said some details of the scheme would
have to be worked out.
While it was pointed out by court
officials that Monday is a difficult
day to determine the actual effect of
the staggered-hour system, one diff
Guilty was encountered before the day
had gotten well under way.
Woman Defendant.
A woman, summoned to court to
answer three parking charges in as
many precincts, found one Of her
cases set for $50 am, another for
10:30 and third for 1880.
Under the previous system, all per-
sons were required to report at $50
am, and all her cases would have
been called at the same time. The
new plan, however, divides the three
reporting hours among the various
precincts.
Employees and officials in charge of
preparing traffic cases said this was
one of the problems which would be
met almost daily. Further, it was
declared, there are days when one
precinct will have many cases and
others, assigned to different hour,
will have few.
Court Period Differences.
In these instances, 1t Is believed the
court will be overtaxed during GER
tain periods and have little to do in
others. Should the heavy load fall on
the final reporting time, the court
may find itself detained much longer
than under the old uniform reporting
time.
The plan Is designed to lessen the
early morning congestion, prevent po-
licemen, witnesses and defendants
from remaining in court longer than
necessary and assist the judges in
handling their cases.

FAMILY OF EIGHT
OUSTEDBY BLAZE
Faces Homeless and Penni.
less Future After Being
Routed by Fire.

Forced by fire to flee from their
two small rooms in the rear of a con-
demned Government-owned dwelling
at 481 Maryland avenue southwest
shortly after midnight, an unemployed
plasterer, his wife and their six chill
dren-including 16-mcnth-old baby
faced homeless and penniless fu-
ture today.
Mrs Lawrence Coleman and her
children-Lucy. 16: Harry Lee, 12;
Albert. IL; Anna Mae, 8; Louise, 2,
and Franklin, Is months-rested in
the already-crowded home of a neigh
Dor, John Allen. while the father
sought aid in procuring food and
permanent lodging. Allen said the
Coleman's stay with him was "only
temporary" Where they will go later
neither he nor the 45-year-old father
knew.
Coleman has been out of work and
confined to his bed most of the time
during the last month, his wife said.
The little food provided for his family
has been purchased with his meager
savings and the money earned during
the few days he has had work, she
added.
Awakened about I am. by firemen,
who had been called when a blaze
was discovered in one of the un-
occupied houses next door, Coleman
rushed to the street to ask where
the fire was. Before he could get
back to his front door the flames had
spread toward his fiat.
His wife and children were removed
just before the ceiling tumbled in on
the beds. The fire then spread rapidly
to the abandoned dwelling on the other
side and within few minutes wrecked
the three houses.
The Colemans were unable to save
any of their belongings. Two of the
children were picking up scattered
pieces of soaked and charred clothing
this morning. Coleman's shoes and
the baby's nursing bottle were among
the articles destroyed.
Mrs. Frank Smith, one of the neigh
bors, said she believed the blaze was
started by some men who were drink
ing" whom she saw enter the vacant
house last night. The Fire Department
listed the origin as Undetermined"
Two alarms were sounded, the first
by Henry Fife, colored chauffeur en-
ployed by the Navy Department, who
was driving through the neighborhood.
The Treasury Department, which
has charge of the property, said the
Colemans had been ordered to vacate
by February %, when the old dwell
ing will be turned over to the National
Park Service for clearing to make way
for recreational park project.

TOWN HALL TOLD
| Of CO-0PERAT|VES
League President in U. S.
Holds System of Great
Value for Peace.

Explaining there Is no useful CON-
modify which cooperative societies
cannot provide for their members and
that almost all services can be made
available, DR.. James P. Warbasse
president of the Cooperative League
of the United States, presented coop
eratives to a Town Hall audience al
the Shoreham Hotel last night as g
common meeting ground for the peo-
Piles of the world to effect interna-
tional peace.
"The functions Of co-operatives are
unlimited" he said. People will unite
to solve their problems through com.
mercial trade because basically the
troubles Of the world rest on economic
foundations"
Through the International Whole
sale Co-operatives and the Banking
and Insurance Co-operatives now
being organized. citizens of 40 nations
are joined in common interests. This
provides the greatest force for the
inevitability Of world peace, he said.
Cites Immediate Needs.
Education and competent execu-
tives to carry out the work of Coop
eratives are the most immediate
needs" DR.. Warbasse said as he
pointed out the difficulties to be faced
"Co-operatives will be established per-
manently when their need Is explained
Speculation is the outstanding
obstacle to the promotion of co-opera-
tives in this country. The speculative
spirit is greatly embedded in the tradi-
tions and customs of this country
Since there is no speculation in coop.
eratives, this problem is indeed a seri-
Gus one.
Another difficulty which co-opera-
tives face, particularly in this country
is the variety OF races with which to
work. In Sweden there is actually but
one race. Co-operatives are conducted
efficiently under such conditions. With
education and the valuable stimulus
that competitive circumstances offer
co-operatives will develop in this
country"
Questioned by Panel Member.
Answering a question af Pane
Member Wayne Williams, special as
sistant to the Attorney General. con-
corning the failure of co-operatives
when it presumably is to the financial
advantage Of the people to band to-
gether, DR.. Warbasse stated that
again it was lack of knowledge, in
terest and capacity to grasp the
meaning Of co-operatives that ac-
counted for their slow acceptance.
In response to q question Of Jacob
Baker, panel member, who was chair
man Of the Presidents commission
sent abroad. last Summer to study
co-operatives, DIR. Warbasse stated
that the functions of co-operatives
reach first the closest needs of man,
food, clothing and housing. Yet in
this country today there are more
than 5000 societies in banking, apart
ment, burial, medical and oil activi-
ties. The majority of the 10000 So
cieties supply agricultural products,
he said.
DR.. WarbaSse's explanation of the
international function of co-opera-
tives was prompted from a question
asked him by third panel member,
Miss Helen Topping, representative in
this country of Toyohiko Kagawa,
leader of the cooperative movement
in Japan.
Edwin G. Nourse, director of the
agriculture division at Brookings In
stitution, was unable to appear on the
