DesertiOns to Insure Families
Of Relief Funds Reported
Street Says Limitations Put Premium,
on Inability to WOrk-Cites Hard.
ships Under Reductions.

Restrictionl of public relief funds
has put premium on being unable
to work." Elwood Street, director of
public welfare, disclosed yesterday in
the third annual report of the boards
assistance division.
Street declared cases have come
before the division of fathers desert
ing families so their wives and chill
dren would receive relief.
The report pointed out the program
for relief cared for 1909 families and
single persons during the year and
furnished relief to about 1874 each
month. The average amount of relief
was $2405 month.
THE funds were so very limited"
the report declared, that relief could
be extended only to those families
in which there was no employable
person. During the last three months
of the year $4,000 was set aside from
the funds to care for employable
families for few weeks, but during
all the rest of the year only the un-
employable group was helped. This
shortage of funds caused much hard
ship and suffering among those out
of work"

DR.. RUTLAND ADDS
HOT LUNCH PLEA
Health Officer Makes Appeal
by Radio-Citizens Push
Drive for S67,5O0.

DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health officer, has added his plea for
the service of the free hot lunches to
the 5000 needy schoolchildren of the
District.
Speaking over the radio last night,
DR. Rutland said his interest is due to
the fact that proper nourishment of
children at school is inseparable from
the official obligation the Health De-
partment has in the matter of school
medical inspection and because II
share with you natural feeling for
child life protection"
1T should hardly need any special
argument to get unanimous agreement
on the necessity for having the child
properly nourished" he said.
Meanwhile the Citizens Emergency
Committee is hard at work trying to
raise the $67,500 which must be raised
by the community to pay for the years
non-labor costs Of the project. The
Works Progress Administration sup
plies the labor costs.
To date approximately $4,000 has
been realized from donations and from
the benefit prize fight last Monday, and
the group Is now concentrating on
the grand charity ball at the May
flower Tuesday night.

ceeds Of which will go to the fund.
There Is scheduled a matinee at 3:45

Mr.. Street also declared the mental
strain of no work plus no relief had
caused nervous breakdowns and i'll
health. And. despite the fact that
1900 aged persons were transferred
from relief to old-age assistance. he
said, the number of unemployables
receiving relief July /, 1885. was 3,402
and a year later was 1913, or only
189 less.
The report said substantial progress
had been made in the past year in
promoting the social security program,
and that more than 80 per cent Of
the applications for old-age pensions
had been approved.
1.-TWO very serious problems were
outstanding in the administration Of
general relief" Mr.. Street said. 1.-THE
first was the inadequacy of relief
funds throughout the year. The ap-
preparation failed to meet fully the
needs of the community. The other
problem was that of inadequate staff" :"
The insufficient staff, Street ex-
planned, was due to a forced reduc-
tion of more than 40 per cent. with
the. result that by the end of the year
the social workers average case loads
were about lao families each.

TRAFF|CPROPOSAL
Agriculture and S. E. C. Join
With Interior In Refus-
ing Change.
WALLACE QUESTIONS
RELIEF OF CONGESTION
Douglas Points Out Exchanges in
Financial Centers Dictate
Time of Operations.

The Department of Agriculture and
the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion today joined the Department of
Interior in refusing to change the
working hours of employees to conform
with Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer's proposed staggered-hour plan
for relieving rush-hour traffic con-
gestion.
The Treasury Department, how
ever, offered, to change the hours Of
semployes of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and the Procurement Di-
vision. Bureau of Engraving employees
would report for duty at 8:15 am
instead of am, and Procurement
Division workers would report at $50.
Previously the Works Progress Admin
tstration was the only Government
agency to approve the staggered
plan.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
disclosed the refusal of his depart
ment to change the working hours of
its employees in a letter to Commits
sioner Hazen.
improvement questioned.
'The proposed change is considered
impractical from the standpoint of eff
fective operation of this department"
said Secretary Wallace. Moreover, it
is open to question whether the pro-
posed change in hours would actually
result in the anticipated improvement
In traffic conditions. Only 6,463 en-
ployes of this department are housed
in buildings south of the Mall, the
remaining 5,055 being housed in build
ings scattered over the congested area
Of the city"
Secretary Wallace also pointed out
the proposal to have Agriculture De-
partment employees report for duty at
am. would bring over 10000 en-
ployes in the vicinity of Fourteenth
street and the Mall at that hour,
which would tend to intensity existing
traffic congestion.
William o. Douglas, chairman of
the S. E. c., told Commissioner Hazen
1t would be impossible to change the
working hours of the commission en-
ployes from the present schedule to
from 8:15 am. to 3:45 pm.
Exchanges Regulate Hours.
"Our work entails supervision of
stock exchanges all over the country"
MIR. Douglas said, land it Is abso-
lutely necessary that a staff be avail
able during trading hours, which. due
to differences in time, cover the pres
ent working schedule. The Office here
has to be available for communica-
ton throughout the day with all the
regional Offices, as well as with Of
flcials of exchanges, brokers, bankers
and others whose interests are af-
xected by our work"
Van Duzer's aim in proposing the
staggered plan is to reduce the pres
ent 8 am. traffic peak. He said
without the cooperation of the Fed
eral Departments, his program to re-
1ieve the rush hour congestion would
be complete failure.

the inquest. Lacy E. Morlock was the
man held for the inquest.
Detectives offered the witness after
testifying that Mr.. Morlock and four
colored men, who were riding in his
truck, rehearsed false story of the

the body of Cusack, a w. P. A. worker,
lying in the street and took it to Emer-
gency Hospital. denying that he had
struck the man.. He persuaded his
four companions to corroborate this
story, the detectives testified.
The asserted eyewitness, Albert
Arndt, taxi driver, said he was fol-
lowing truck at Pennsylvania avenue
and John Marshall place, when he
heard thud and saw "a man rolling
over and over in the street"
Beer Drinking Alleged.
Detective Sergt. William j. Liver
man testified that he and other Off
GERS broke down the "rehearsed"
story of the accident the following
morning Morlock and his four COM
panions, Liverman said, then admitted
the truck had hit Cusack. The de-
tective said Morlock told of having
drunk three bottles of beer shortly
before the accident.
At the scene of the mishap, police
said, they discovered a broken auto
mobile radiator cap in the street.
Later, they said, they found Morlock's
truck had no radiator cap, and this
prompted them to hold him for in

oily skin is the egg pack, and it is an
easy home treatment, too.
The first step, in all packs, is to
cleanse the skin and you may use a
cleansing cream or almond oil, but if
there is excessive oil, wash the face with
soap and water, then rinse well to re-
move all the soap.
Beat up an egg, add teaspoonful of
witch hazel, and then thicken the mix
ture with powdered oatmeal. Spread this
over the face and neck and leave it on
for five minutes. This will be good
time for you to rest, with witch hazel
pad over your eyes, or, if you are the
active girl begin manicure and file
the nails of both hands; then, instead
of soaking the fingers as you usually
do, wait until you remove the pack.
This will help to soften the cuticle
around the nails, as you will have to keep
your hands wet while you first apply
the warm water, and finally the cool
rinse.
After the skin is thoroughly rinsed,
pat it dry with smooth towel and
apply cream. Yes even for oily skin.
Finish your manicure, except the polish,
and then remove the cream. After that,
you will prepare bowl of ice cubes, and
pour over it two tablespoonfuls of cool
water and one tablespoonful Of witch
hazel. Have several pads of fresh, alb
sorbent cotton and squeeze them out to
use for bathing the face. This will re-
fresh and firm the skin as well as clear
the roughness.
Send for Packs for DTU and OiLU Skin.
