A. B. T.. Board Calls
For Liquor Store
EmpIoye Lists
Move Recalls Statement
Of Schultz on
Former BootIeeeers

In move which would make pos
sible thorough scrutiny of the
legal records of all persons engaged
in the liquor business in the Dis
trict, the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board yesterday notified license
holders they must supply complete
lists of all employees who handle
alcoholic beverages.
Thomas E. Lodge, chairman of
the board. said the notice sent to
the 1,800-odd licensees merely was
an effort on the part of the board
to bring up to date complete lists of
such employees. He added that while
a substantial number of license
holders now supply the information,
most Of them do not, and that un-
doubtedly some dealers do not know
OF the requirements.
Schultz Statement Recalled.
However, it was recalled else
where. that before a special sub
committee of the House District
Committee recently made an in
vestigation of the regulation of the
liquor industry here by the A. B. C.
Board, Representative Schultz.
Democrat, of Indiana declared his
belief that Is per cent of persons
handling liquor were former boot
leggers. There was no testimony on
the point during the hearings.
Hearings in the investigation
have been completed and Repre-
sentative Eberharter, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the
subcommittee, and others of its
members are preparing a report.
Mr.. Lodge said the notices re-
quired the license holders to supply
the full name, address, age, color and
sex of all employees handling alco-
holic beverages and that they must
notify the board in writing of
changes in personnel.
Lodge Cites Section.
Mr.. Lodge cited section Is of the
District Liquor Act, which states:
mo licensee under this act shall
allow any person who has, within
five years prior thereto been con-
victed of misdemeanor under the
National Prohibition Act, as amended
and supplemented, or, within 10
years prior thereto, has been con-
victed of any felony, to sell, give,
furnish. or distribute any beverage,
nor allow any minor under the age
OF 81 years to sell, give, furnish or
distribute any beverage except beer
or any minor under the age of 18
years to sell, give, furnish or dis
tribute beer"
This act was adopted January "a,
1884, and therefore the five-year
time limit has run on the ban on
persons convicted of misdemeanors
under the national act, but not vet
as to those convicted of felonies.

Mother, 6, Is Returned
To Peruvian Parents
By the Associated Press.


LIMA, Peru, April 6.-Six-year-
old Lima Medina, child-mother of
an 11-month-old boy, was returned
to the custody of her parents YES
terday by decree of the Peruvian
Supreme Court,
The parents, farm folk living on
the slopes of the Andes, fought
almost year against the order OF
the Peruvian government placing
the mother and child under a
guardianship to keep them from
grave harm which might result
from uncontrolled dealing with
commercial enterprises"
The court warned Linas parents
ITO keep strictest vigilance on her
morals and the authorities will at
any time, If necessary, take steps

A former Washington man, now
working for the Dallas Power g.
Light Co. in Dallas, Tex, may have
answered the vital question of guam
ity for blood banks" particularly
for areas of small population. with
his recently developed machine to
make dried blood serum.
D. c. Pfeiffer, a mechanical engi-
neer, is the Washingtonian who, in
collaboration with DR.. j. M. Hill,
a scientist at Baylor University Hos
pital, has developed machine
which, it is said. reduces blood
serum to a dry state.
Mr.. Pfeiffer. son of Mrs. D. G..
Pfieffer of 3514 Thirteenth street
NV, was an outstanding athlete
at Tech High School from 1914 to
1918, starring in football and base
ball.
He was graduated from Lehigh
University with a mechanical engi-
neering degree in 1921. After work.
. ing as turbine expert with the
General Electric Co. at Lynn, Mass,
he went to Texas, where he became
associated with the Dallas company
Nearly a year ago Mr.. Pfeiffer
started working with DR.. Hill on the
machine. Today it is finished and
Dallas physicians say it already has
saved several lives.
Tanklike Machine.
The invention is a tanklike ma
chine with an ampule attached to
an upright vacuum tank. A supply
of blood serum in liquid form Is
placed in the ampule and the ma
chimes motors are started. The
pumps revolve and the serum
freezes.
In a matter of hours the machine
yields container of fluffy, spongy
substance
This substance is blood serum
drained of moisture, capable of being
stored for long periods of time in
hermetically sealed containers. This
dried serum does not have to be kept
under freezing conditions as does
fluid serum, the inventors said.
Scientists and doctors made dried
blood serum as early as 1909, but the
method used was tedious and inn
practical Now, according to Mr.
Pfeiffer and DR.. Hill. dried blood
serum can be made in quantities,
stored in the blood banks" of hos
pitfalls, and distributed throughout
the country.
In the construction of the ma
chine the inventors ran into a prob
lem which was solved through Mr.
Pfeiffer's knowledge of air condi-
tioning.
Absorbent Devised.
Under ordinary circumstances the
water vapor rushed into the vacuum
faster than pump could extract it,
thereby destroying the vacuum. Mr..
Pfeiffer devised an absorbent, an
artificial sponge" to hold the water
vapor. A test of moisture content
in dried serum substance revealed
003 per cent, according to Mr..
Pfeiffer.
Washington physicians who were
questioned as to their opinions of
the invention all stressed that If
blood serum could be reduced to a
dried state in quantities a wonderful
step in science would be accomp-
lished. The men questioned in
cluded laboratory men, surgeons
and an obstetrician. They doubted
whether dried serum could be kept
for long periods of time without
subjecting the material to freezing
conditions.
Use of dried blood serum on the
battlefield would be of inestimable
value, they said Physicians ex-
planned that dried serum could be
transported in quantity where the
serum in fluid form and under
freezing conditions could not be
handled. In the World War, doc
tors said, wounded men who had
lost quantities of blood were lucky

Employment Limited
The committee, in writing the bill,
placed a limit on the number Of per-

Atop of 1,700,0 0 was placed on
the average employment for July,
August and September, 100000 for
