| Moving Vans
Busy Despite
House SHORTAGE

Traditional moving day comes up
tomorrow, but scarcity of places to
which to move is curtailing opera
tions here.
This was the consensus today of
moving company officials, who en-
phasized, however, that new families
arriving in the city were keeping
their workmen busy.
In Baltimore companies reported
the largest moving business in five
years.
Every firm here reported it could
use more trucks and workmen than
are available.
Two moving company officials
complained about the scarcity of
skilled movers. Clarence Aspinwall,
president of the Security Storage
Co., said the labor situation here is
very tight" and H. Randolph Bar
bee, secretary of the Federal Stor-
age Co., said it was necessary for his
firm to train new men constantly.
J.H Gaszner, manager of Smiths
Transfer & Storage Co., said his
business has broken all records. He
said his firms trucks are booked
solid for weeks.

CIarification Asked
On Penal Institution
Workers Unionizinq
u. F. w. A. Raises Issue;
Bon Being Considesed,
Ii Is Indicated

Whether employees Of the District
penal institutions can JOIN labor
union was the question put to the
Commissioners Yesterday by a dele
cation from the United Federal
Workers of America. seeking clarifi-
cation of statement last month by
Commissioner Guy Mason in con-
nection with some negotiations at
Gallinger Hospital.
There is nothing in present regula-
tions forbidding the men to organize
provided they do not invoke the
right to strike, Engineer Commits
sioner Charles w. Kutz told re-
porters after the conference. but it
was indicated the city heads as a
board had under consideration the
proposal of Commissioner Mason
that employees at the District Jail,
Occoouan Workhouse and Lorton
Penitentiary should not be permitted
to join.
Says Striking Prohibited.
"I was and still am opposed to it"
commented 2Ir. Mason.
The Commissioners said Henry
Rhine, national organizer for the
union. a C. I. o. affiliate. had
promised to provide them a copy of
its constitution. which MIR. Rhine
says carries a prohibition against
striking. They have also asked for
data on other jurisdictions where
similar employees are unionized.
Mr.. Rhine said after the confer
ence that his delegation had insisted
on the right of the employees to
organize. but had agreed there
should be no interference in any
way with the operation of the insti-
tutions. He said his group was con-
stitutionally forbidden to strike be-
cause it realized its peculiar" posi-
ton as government employees.
Member Drive Planned.
Mr.. Rhine announced that an i'm
mediate organiza ton drive was
planned at the institutions. Among
those accompanying him were'O. M.
Jacobs, president of the Lorton-Oc-
coquan branch of the union; T. P.
Ragon, Secretary-treasurer of the
branch. and James Ford. chairman
of the Grievance Committee at the
Gallinger Hospital chapter.
The conference grew out of Com
missioner Mason's ruling of August
81 in directing DR.. Edgar A. Bocock
of Gallinger Hospital to meet with
employe organizers. In the ruling
Mr.. Mason said it was the policy of
the" Commissioners to permit organ
lied employees at institutions to
name representatives to deal with
the superintendent on matters of
working conditions. The ruling
closed by saying, however, that the
Commissioners. as stewards of the
local government, cannot and will
not tolerate" interference in anv
way by any other than lawfully con-
stituted authority in the operation,
maintenance and management of
such strictly governmental instru-
mentalities as the Jail, the work.

Schools Tomorrow
BY JOHN W. THOMPSON, Jr.

The Board of Education is ex-
pected tomorrow to transfer to the
Commissioners the Henry-Polk
Schools with the idea the property
will be used as the site for the new
Northwest Health Center.
Transfer has been requested by
the Commissioners in letter TO the
board, which held the plan is nee
eSsary to solve the long controversy
over where the center should be 10
Gated and to save the months Of
time that would be required to go
before Congress for money for site.
The Henry School is located on P
street between Sixth and Seventh
streets NV. and the Polk at Seventh
and P.
This site was suggested in the re-
cent budget hearings by the MID
City Citizens Association and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission recently revealed that
it had been decided on.

The 1912 budget authorizes sl34,-

Ruhland's program of polyclinics.
Although the Northwest Center
was DR.. Ruhlands first choice for
the disease-ridden central area. site
complications in 1887 resulted in his
obtaining first the new Southwest
center.
In that year appropriation Of ST.
650000 was authorized with the idea
that the center should be built on
the site of the old Jones School at
First and L streets NV, near the
First and Pierce street site DR..
Ruhling originally sought. The use
Of the Jones School site was based
on the idea that funds for a new
Jones School would be obtained.
When these did not materialize
school officials refused to surrender
the Jones site and Dr.. Rutland went
site hunting.
At one point Representative Col
Inns of Mississippi suggested use Of

District purchase of land and cor

DR.. ". 7. Ellis Urges
Drive for Virtues Of
Old Sunday School
Religious Writer Tells
Bible Gloss Association
Of Present-Doy Need

"A drive for the virtues of the old
Sunday School, was described last
night as the need of America in the
world crisis of today in an address
by Dr. William T. Ellis. widely known
religious writer, whose articles ap-
pear in The Star.
Speaking before the Organized
Bible Glass Association at its first
meeting of this fall, held in Calvary
Baptist Church, DR.. Ellis suggested
that such drive be started in WASH
ington.
He described the Sunday schools
as the most potent social service
agencies" in that they mold char
acter,s Private morals" he asserted,
shape public morale" 4" In developing
this thought, he told his audience,
IF you want to know why France
fell-there you have it."
Bible Class a Forum.
In dwelling on the old-fashioned
Sunday school and its virtues, the
speaker said that it was in them
that mothers learned the hymns
with which they sang their babies
to sleep.
In this day of forums. the most
numerous and potent are the Bible
classes" said DR.. Ellis. adding that
they have the firm background of
religion AS the basis of their reason
ing. He contended that greater
Sunday school attendance will result
in clearer thinking.
DR.. Ellis said there are about
100000 Sunday school teachers in
this Nation but that there are some
100000 young people who are not
receiving religious education. In this
connection he urged that drive
be launched to get more persons to
attend Sunday school.
Hits at Indifference.
The attitude of Americans toward
the world today should be the atti-
tude Of Christ-that of compassion,
the speaker said. He criticized the
indifference of persons toward the
present world crisis and empha-
sized that this Nation "is in it."
He also condemned the so-called
liberals responsible for vicious and
poisonous criticism.
The speaker forecast a new era
to grow out of the present crisis,
in which the hand of God and His
teachings will be felt.
DR.. Ellis was introduced by DR..
w. l.. Darby, president of the WASH
ington City Bible Society. An OPEN
ing prayer was said by DR.. C. E.
Resser, president of the District
Sunday School Association, and the
closing prayer was said by the Rev.

Schumacher led in singing.

charged in the paper sent to court

DIABETIC ULCER
The combination Of diabetes
and hardening of the blood ves-
sells has a tendency to accentu-
ate the dangers of hardened
arteries, and many Of the acct
dents and complications of hard
ening of the arteries are more
likely to occur in diabetes and
are accentuated by its presence.
Among these is a tendency to
gangrene and liberation of the
foot, especially of the skin of
the toes.
Another form of this is dia-
bette ulcer of the skin of the
toes or foot due to the closing
of the blood vessel and cutting
off of the nutritional supply of
the skin.
CARE OF FEET

They also must take special care
not to get the feet chilled or
wet, and cold, wet weather or
snowy weather is almost an in
dication for them to stay in.
Every diabetic should have
some regular attention to the
condition of the feet. Chirupo-
dists who work on diabetes
should be warned of the nature
of the condition they are treat
ing because an infected corn or
ingrown toenail may lead to
very serious complications.
QUESTION OF EXERCISE
Diabetes frequently ask
whether they should take exer-
else. Exercise is good for them
and they should be encouraged
to take as much as possible.
The care of the skin all over
is a matter of great concern.
The eyes also should be watched
and every diabetic should have
his own oculist who knows his
condition and who will make
regular examinations in order to
detect early such possible COM
plications as cataract and
retinitis.
Another serious complication
of diabetes in elderly people Is
