Germ Detectives Go Out on Trail
 Of Dish Washers
By JACK THOMPSON AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, March l.--Germ- men are on the trail of greasy spoons and dirty glasses. They're packing test tubes, swabe and jars into little black bags and scouting District of Columbia restaurants for disease bugs on china and silver ware.
 It's the first time any city has ever turned bacteriologists loose on restaurant inspection, says the health department.
 Until a year ago, Washington, like other cities, left the job to in spectors who simply picked up . glass and looked at it to see If it was clean.
 Experts Chase The Bugs Then with increased 1, congress sional appropriations the District health department hired four young men with degrees as bacteriolo- gists. They were given the equip ment and told to go to it. In their first sampling of 65 res taurants they found an average of 520 ,000, 900 bacteria on each glass they tested They found the trench mouth bug, pneumonia bug, and the B-coli germ, an intestinal bac- teria.
 n tnn honfarinInnictc ho ct e have brought the germ count down to less than 500 per glass on 90 percent of the glasses they inspect and less than 300 on each silver ware utensil-ample margins of safety. Many of their tests show absolute sterility
 Classes In Cleanliness When the bacteriologists run into high germ count in one of Washingtons 1850 restaurants they call in the proprietor to the Dis trict health center for a class in cleanliness, They may even invite him in for instruction a second time. But a third warning makes him subject to a fine of $25 to $50 and the Department has not iyet lost case in court. Director of Food Inspection Dr. R. R. Ashworth says the Washing 1 ton Restaurant Association has given close cooperation.

BEDDING, Cal March That city slicker who tried to hold up the general store at Bella Vista, thirteen miles east of here in rugged country, when a lone woman was in charge of it, got something of a shock.
 Walking into the store close be- hind Mrs. l.. Lotion, he demanded in voice he must have intended to be very stern and hard, Hand it over!"
 What the hell do you mean?"i she shot at him, whirling about
 It was a bit of a jolt. Lingering his blackjack, the bandit explained rather lamely that what he wanted was money. Mrs Lotion gradually edged along the door and then i. |.
 He made a lunge for me" she related afterwards. So I slapped him across the head and chest with my arms and he ree1ed backward. I ran out the front door yelling, 'Holdup!'"
 The bandit decided to call it a day. Leaving into his car he sped away, amid rain of bullet fired by Lotion, who had heard his wife's shout and rushed around from the , rear, all prepared. | It was, all pretty unnerving. The i bandit seemed to lose his grip, even on the car, for road workers later found it overturned eighteen miles farther east, and identified it as one stolen earlier from H. c, Alger. The driver had taken to the hills, near Ingot.

ence Monohan, head of the state
prison for women at Tehachapi
was guest speaker and declared that
Of all the prisons she has visited
and had anything whatever to do
with Tehachapi contains the larg-
est group of incorrigibles that she
has ever seen, making the problem
Of rehabilitation difficult one.
Just why this situation should exist,
she said, she was unable to explain
unless perhaps in California the
courts are more lenient toward
women offenders so that at Teha-
chapi are gathered only the incor-
rigibles.
