Discomfort rather than danger
generally would result from
blasts from bombs shattering
pipes inside house or from
bombs striking water mains.
There are, however. certain
measures recommended that
would limit possible discomfort.
You should know, first of all, the
location of the main valve that
shuts off the house water as we'll
as the location of the tap at the
base of your hot water heater, II
you have one.
Usually the water pipe enters
the house through the basement
wall and the valve is just inside
the wall. If the valve handle is
parallel with the pipe. the water
is allowed to pass through. II
the handle is at right angles to
the pipe, the water is shut off. In
some cases, the valve screws down
to shut off the water. When it
is screwed tight, the water is
cut off.
Shut Water Supply Off.
Your water supply should be
shut off only when and if a
nearby bomb explosion skaters
the pipes inside your house.
These may be hidden under plas-
ter. A wet wall or ceiling is an
indication that pipes are broken.
The point where the bathtub pipe
comes through the floor might
also be a vulnerable spot.
If you have hot water heat
and radiator pipes snap, you
should open the tap at the base
of your hot water heater, attach
a hose to the pipe and let the
water run out into the sewer.

Col. BoIIes Speaks

Christmas Day found the Capital
under Stricter defense precautions,
with police warning merchants and
storekeepers that they would be
expected to carry out the request"
of the Office of, Civilian Defense for
elimination of all unnecessary
illumination.
Schools were under 24-hOur
guard, which officials regarded as
permanent measure during the
war. Some teachers had volunteered
for this service and were on duty
in six-hour shifts In other in
stances, it was reported, assistant
air-raid wardenS. some of them male
teachers, were doing the job. In
still other cases, various citizens in
communities had volunteered to go
on guard.
Defense officials had requested
that adequate measures be taken
to protect school buildings because
nearly all of them have been made
key defense points, to serve as
casualties stations and in other
capacities in an air raid. Many Of
the Al air-raid sirens which the
Commissioners ordered yesterday
will be placed in schoolhouses.
Col. Lemuel Bolles, civilian de-
fense director for Washington, re-
peated, in a radio address last night,
his instructions that. in case of an
air attack, householders should shut
off gas burners, but not attempt to
turn off the main gas intakes, leav-
ing that to experts. If, however, no
gas man is available, and it becomes
necessary for the tenant to shut off
the main, he should not try to turn it
on again, but should await trained
man.
Col. Bolles expressed satisfaction
at the progress made in organizing
the city for defense. He added:
Il don't want to give the impress
sion that we have a thoroughly
organized, smoothly operating. COM
pletely efficient civilian defense. We
haven't. But we have reached the
stage where we can call it an organ
ization, and from now on our prog

The Red Cross sent out an appeal
for 500 more blankets, to be on hand
for an emergency. The blankets

Marriage Wait Law
Urged by Arlington
Women Voters
72-Hour Delay Provision
To Back Health Test
Asked of Legislature

Enactment of a 72-hour marriage
wait law for Virginia, to supplement
the existing health test statute will
be sought when the General As
sembly convenes in Richmond next
month.
T0e proposed legislation is part
of an eight-point program which
has been placed before Arlington
legislators by the Organized Woman
Voters Of the country
The group said it sought the
three-day waiting provision to dis
courage "gin marriages" and estab-
nshment of "Gretna Greens" driven
out of Maryland and the District
Of Columbia several years ago.
A "three-day waiting period" was
urged strongly at the last session o!
the Legislature. but was abandoned
by most proponents when tn,
health test law was enacted. 1t ha!
been found possible, however, fol
persons to obtain certificates Of
health and marriage licenses on the
same day they file their applications
This is particularly true in Arling-
ton County and Alexandria, where
approved diagnostic Laboratories
have been established.
Wants Law Tightened.
A clarification of the law to
tighten enforcement of a prohibi-
ton against spending more than 10
per cent above amounts set in the
Arlington County budget also will be
sought
The Organized Voters legislative
program also seeks to require pub
lication of budget expenditures at
the close of each fiscal year.
Several members of the organi-
zation contend that after the County
Board adopts its budget. items are
sometimes expended beyond the 10
per cent limitation during the fiscal
year. They also point out that at
the close of the fiscal year on June
30, the county manager is required
to file a statement of budget ex-
penditures with the clerk of the
County Board prior to the following
July Is. However. because the county
manager has been appointed as clerk
to the board, the statement is ac-
tually filed by that official with
himself. The women voters believe
publication Of the budget expendi-
lures would restrain the board from
exceeding amounts approved in the
annual budget.
Approve Education Program.
The women voters also approved a
program Of the State Department of
Education which calls for mini
mum teachers salary of $720 year
and an actuarily sound retirement
system for teachers.
The group expressed support of a
program which will incorporate pro-
visions Of legislation sponsored by
the Spiers' Commission at the last
session of the legislature for reform
Of the State penal system. The pro-
gram failed to pass in 1910.
The program also would exempt
enlisted personnel of the military
services from penalties and interests
on county and State taxes during
the duration of military service.
