tAfter Being Found in Park
in Woman's Rest Room

-Four woman victims OF recent at.
tasks In Rock Greek Park and vicin.
aty today failed to identity a Metro
pohtan policeman who was placed In
o lineup at headquarters as a result
Of being found several days ago In a
woman's rest room in Rock Greek
Park by q park policeman.
Among those who could not iden.
tfy the of1icer was Miss Ruth Nc
Mman, 19-year-old George Washing
ton University coed, who was beaten
last fall by an unidentified man while
on her way to join friends as q picnic
In Rock Greek Park.
The suspect was placed in a lineup
along with five or six officers In plain
clothes. Inspector Edward J. Kelly
said the Police Trial Board probably
would hear the park policeman's story
that he found the Metropolitan officer
IN the rest room under suspicious cir
crznstances
The park policeman was keeping
watch on the rest room after several
complaints Of q "peeping tom" had
been made by woman visitors to the
park. When the ofncer acce.sted the
Metropolitan policeman the latter dis
, p|aDtd his badge and explained he

thought had hidden in the room. The
pol1epan was not arrested. and no

WOMAN TEST|F|ES
FROM STRETCHER
Mrs. King, Whose Husband
Was Killed by Car, Goes
Before Grand Jury.

Seriously injured last December II
by htt-and-run car which killed
her husband, Mrs. Devera King, SIS,
was carried on a stretcher before the
grand jury this afternoon to testify
concerning the tragedy.
Gus Maurer, 81. of the 1900 block
OF Michigan avenue NE. was held
by q coroner's jury on December 80
as responsible for the death.
Mrs. King and her husband, Ed
ward j. King, IS. were struck down
about 7:15 pm. as they were cross
ing the street near their home. 34l2
Tenth street NE. Mr.. King was
dead when medical aid arrived. Mrs.
King was taken to Sibley Hospital
where she was found to be suffering
from broken right leg and numerous
contusions.
At the, scene of the accident, police
discovered part Of an automobile
radiator and fragment of broken
headlight lens. An intensive search
followed, and the car thought to
have struck the couple was located
on Upshur street, near Twelfth
place NE.
According to Detective Sergt. C..
N. Strange of the homicide squad,
the tags of the car were listed to
Robert S. Russell, 1918 Perry street
NE, who repeatedly told police he
had lent his automobile to Maurer
on the night of December IL. Maurer
admitted using the car that night,
but denied striking the couple, Strange
stated.
The decision of the grand jury
probably will be reported Wednesday.

QUICK APPROVAL
FOR DISTRICT BILL
SSEEN IN SENATE
School Items Bear Brunt of
100000 Slash in
Conference Report.
SENATOR'S EDUCATION
PROGRAM CUT $465,O 900
Action, Possible Today, to Send
Amendments to House for
Separate Tests.

The conference report on the.
$47,25o,000 District supply bill for the
year beginning July may be called up
in the Senate today, and Is expected
to be approved without difficulty.
Following Senate action, the report
will 60 to the House, where q number
Of amendments must be taken up for
separate action, under House rules,
even though they are satisfactory to
the House conferees. The revised total
above referred to assumes the House
will approve these various separate
amendments.
Additional details made available
yesterday when the completed confer
ence report was fled in the Senate by
Chairman Glass Of the Appropriations
Committee show that a substantial
part Of the approximately s1,000,000
eliminated in conference came from
school items.
The Senate had voted for q net
addition of about $4,000 in school
funds, of which approximately s465,-
600 was eliminated by the conferees.
Teacher Item Lost.
School items lost in conference in
cluded: For employment of teachers.
$l77416: for furniture and school
furnishings. s242,585; for fuel, s25, 900:
for administrative personnel, sl9,317.
The following Senate amendments
for school Improvements were retained
in the bill: For adding second floor
to the Crosby Noyes School, $50, 900:
for remodeling the auditorium OF the
Alice Deal Junior High, $4,000, and
for improving the grounds of Woodrow
Wilson High School. $4,000.
The Senate amendment allowing the
District to acquire a site for the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Junior
High School and Library In the South
west without restricting the location
to the area specified in the current
appropriation act was acceptable to
the conferees, but this is one of the
amendments being taken back to the
House for separate action.
The conference report retains the
Senate amendment giving the Health
Department definite authority to in
spect lunchroons in Federal buildings.
$50 Relief Maximum.
The report shows the conferees
adopted compromise figure Of 8ls
per cent as the amount Of the 5000, 900
relief fund which may be used for
administrative cost. The House voted
for 7la per cent and the Senate IL
per cent. The conferees also retained
the Senate limitation of $50 as the
maximum that may be paid monthly
to any one family on relief. The House
voted for SIS a month.
Out Of 13 specific street paving
items added by the Senate, eight were
dropped and five retained. Those left
in the bill were for:
Northwest-Forty sixth street, Mas
sachusetts avenue to River road, and
Loughboro road, Indian lane TO Glen

AUTO TAG CHANGE DATE
OF FEB. IS IS BACKED
Van Duzer Believes D. G. Heads
Will Recommend Legislation
In Near Future.

Traf1c Director William A. Van
Duzer expressed the opinion today
that the Commissioners will recon-
mend to Congress in the near future
legislation to change the expirstion
date Of automobile tags from Decem-
Der 81 to February Is.
The director said he already had
discussed the question with Commis.
sioner Hazen, who is now out Of the
city, and had recommended the change
on several grounds.
"The people who have to buy tags
In December would like to use their
money for Christmas shopping" hs
pointed out. 1T also would give
Trafnc Bureau employees . chance to
enjoy the Christmas holidays"
Representative Nichols Of Oklo-
homa, . member Of the House Dis
trict Committee, also is interested In
the expiration date question, Mr.. Van
Duzer said. =
Many States have laws permitting
the use Of automobile tags until April
o6 the year following issuance.

By THOMAS B. HENRY.

For . good st. Patricks day argu-
ment let's take up the meaning Of
word Eire-the official name Of the
Irish Free State as 1t appears on
stamps and legal documents.
It's all . matter Of guess work
anyway, says the Rev. DR.. James
H. Geary, professor Of Celtic at
Catholic University. The one thing
certain is that anybody who tries
to find out what it means will get
dizzy in = whirligig Of linguistic
shifts with Greeks and Germans
and Welshmen and Persians and
Romans and 0auls replacing one
letter by another.
Perhaps the easiest way out Is to
conclude with DR.. Geary that It's
the old. old1e Of the country"
and let 1t 90 at Tint.
One school Of thought, chiefly
German, holds that "eire" Is the
same word, after . series Of lin
suistic shifts, - the eanscrit
"aryan.- 3oe vhish Der Faehfsr
Evening star., 1938-03-17

be matched with . similar one in
another. In Greek there Is the
word "pierra," the feminine Of the
adjective for "fat." The possible
translation from ''pierra" to "eire,"
may be grasped through the Welsh
"querddon." or "land."
Probably . Fat Land"
The original Indo- European word
may have meant either 'land" or
"fat"-or the adjective may have
been used ~ . noun to mean fiat
land" Ireland very probably was
= "fat land" when the original Celts
first settled there. Traditions indi-
cate that the land was worshipped
almost as . god. This was . little
before the days Of real estate pro-
motion when fancy names were
given to newly found countries to
encourage immigration.
This came more than . thousand
years Later when Eric the Red,
fugitive from Iceland, came upon
the desolate land which ever since
has appeared On maps - "Green-
land" although green" generally
speaking, u Just what It Is not.
Eric was . self t-confessed real*or.
He delibefately naimamed his new
land to attract settlerA II -
Evening star., 1938-03-17

barely possible that some old Celt
had the same idea In mind.
Still another possibility Is that
"eire" means hill" There Is .
hill by that name, DR.. Geary re-
lates, which is . prominent land
mark about IS miles from Dublin.
But there is no linguistic thread
by which the name of the country
can be made to mean ''hill-land."
Another Idea Advanced.
Another idea Is that the name Of
the country may have been derived
from one Celtic tribe, to Ereinn, In
Southern ireland. This might have
meant something like "the farm
ers," and at the best Is only . deri-
vation from the same root meaning
land"
At any rate, both the traditional
names, ireland" and "Erin," are
probably dramatically wrcng. In
the first, land" Is redundant. II
Fire means land" then Ireland
means "land-land." Erin, or
"Ereinn," u the geni*ive Of Fire,
the Il" being shifted from In front
Of the "r." Erin" or "Ereinn"
merely means "of Fire." and makes
nonsense when It = used ~ .
proper name.

means land Of the high-born."
Land Plausible Translation.
But. curiously enough, there Is
almost . complete gap from the
shores Of the Caspian, where San
scrit originated, and the extreme
western edge Of Europe. This
might indicate that the Irish were
very early wave Of the 1ndo-
European migrations, one Of which
was into India, another into Persia,
another into Greece, still another
northeastward into Scandinavia,
and another into Esthonia and
Lthuania.
But, says Dr.. deary, few Irish
scholars would any longer translate
etre as "Aryan-land."
A more plausible translation Is
merely "the land" In Welsh II is
"querddon," which can be shifted
around to "eire" by taking account
Of the proper linguistic shifts.
The same word, BY the way. ap-
pears in the Latinised 'Hib-er-nia." "

RELIEF AIDE CITES
NEED FOR FUNDS
Pleas of 700 Ready to Work
Turned Down in Month,
Board Is Told. 2

Lack of sufiicient funds adequately
to care for even the cases Of unemploy-
able persons who have appealed to the
District for aid was reported again to-
day to the Board Of Public Welfare by
Miss Alice Hill. director Of the public

propriations there Is no money avail

to refuse aid during the last month to

For the next fiscal year the pending

they have no clothing Miss Hill said.

these persons who do not know which
way to turn.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jones are 10 and II
years of age, respectively, with twins
6 months old. They have no milk for
the babies, no food and no money for
rent. They have never been on re-
lief, but the man is unemployed and
the occasional odd jobs he manages to
pick up do not begin to meet his needs.
Some Of these people need only
temporary help to tide them over an
emergency, such as Mr.. S, who is .
radio repair man. He owns equipment
worth $500. which he put up as COL
lateral In order to borrow money. He
feels sure he could get work If he could
get back his equipment. But to none
OF these could the agency render aid.
Deprived of Care.
THE relief fund Is likewise Insufi-
cient to provide for those who cannot

crippled, chronically i'll, or others who
may be temporarily unemployable.
During the past month, the average
amount of relief for unemployable fam
lilies was only $32.63 and this tn most
cases was the only means Of subsistence
for families averaging 81 persons per
family. Single unemployable persons
received an average Of $19.54 during
the month with which to provide
shelter, food. clothing and other neces-

BLOSSOM
FETE TO Be HELD
Commissioner Hazen Starts
Ball Rolling in Telegram
From Florida.

Although in Florida on vacation,
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen today
started the ball rolling for staging a
Cherry Blossom Festival here again
this spring.
In telegram to Commissioner
George E. Allen, Mr.. Hazen withdrew
his previous recommendation that the
festival be dropped and nominated c.
Melvin Sharpe. assistant to the presi-
dent of the Potomac Electric Power
Co., to serve as general chairman.
Commissioners Allen and Dan I. Sui
tan indicated agreement with the plan.
Date to Be Set Later.
No date for the festival can be set
until there is some idea Of when the
famous japanese cherry trees will be
in bloom. National Capital Parks
experts hope to be able to forecast
the blooming date soon. Records
show that the single blossom variety
Of the cherry trees, around the Tidal
Basin in West Potomac Park, have
bloomed in previous years as early as
March 20 and as late as April IS.
The double blossom variety, found
largely in East Potomac Park, come
into bloom from two weeks to
month later.
Mr.. Hazen acted after receiving q
plea from the Washington Hotel As
sociation for continuation Of the
festival. The Commissioner previously
had questioned the wisdom of staging
the event this year in view of Japan's
undeclared war on China, but withheld
final ruling to see If there was a
public demand for a celebration when
the blossoms appear on the japanese
cherry trees.
Change Held Justified.
In his wire today Commissioner Ha-
zen said: II believe that the interna-
tional aspects as well as local COM
mercial potentialities justify change in
decision"
Gardner Moore, president of the
Hotel Association, said the event was a
financial success last year. He said the
revenue was not only sufficient to pay
the costs but also to retire debts car

two previous years.
A committee will be formed to plan
the proposed program.

NeU Offensive and Defensive
War Weapons Are Patented
Air Bomb That Would Rain Shrapnel
and Arnor to Lessen Impact of
Artillery Shells Inuented.

New explosives. more effective
weapons and shell-resistant armor-
plate were among the devices for
which patents have been awarded this
week.
One Of these patents was obtained
by Arthur G. Hayden of Oakland,
Calf. for fuse for q bomb to be
dropped from an airplane which will
set of the bomb automatically when
. certain air pressure, indicative of
altitude, Is reached. This might make
possible explosions Of aerial bombs
over cities, thus raining shrapnel on
the populace, instead Of explosions
only when the bomb hits . roof or the
ground.
A new type Of armor against artillery
shells. in which the impact Of the
shell IS partially absorbed by damp
ening layer Of concrete or some
similar material placed between the
arupr-plate and exterior steel bars
was patented by Luigi Calzavara Of
Rome, Italy.
A way "for making wool fabrics
repellant to water" one OF the practical
uses for which stressed in the de-
scription Is tn connection with field
uniforms for troops. was patented by
Alexander Nathansohn Of Berlin, Ger
many.
"The process" he says, Els based
on the surprising discovery that wool
is rendered to high degree repellent
to water in every stage-as loose yarn,
knitted and woven goods, by treatment
with q solution of water-soluble salts
Of higher fatty acids with at least 10
carbon molecules. provided the treat
ment is carried out after the goods are
thoroughly cleaned"
After certain preliminary procedures
the patent description states, the yarn
or fabric which already has been dyed,
Is immersed In 20 times its weight of
water in which has been mixed three
grams Of shredded commercial potash
soap and three-tenths Of a gram of
sodium carbonate. The soap then is
washed out with clean water, with the
resultant water-repellant wool.

A patent was issued to Albert Chiera
Of Washington for "a means of pro-
ducing white light, or daylight" The
essential difference between natural
daylight and artificial light, the patent
description states, is the excess Of red
and orange rays given OH. White
light, the inventor states, is q mixture
of red, yellow and blue light in equal
amounts. Electric light is unbalanced
toward the red end Of the spectrum.
One way Of getting around this in
the past, the inventor states, has been
by the use Of blue bulbs, either made
Of BLUSH glass or of colorless glass
covered with the thin coating of blue.
In practice, he insists, this has been
more apt to be greenish yellow be-
cause too much Of the red is absorbed.
His own method Is to "stipple" the
bulb with blue, leaving places where
