Wash them before you store
them"
That is the Bureau of Stand
ards advice to Washington
women who are joining their sis
ters in other large cities through
out the country in making guam
tity purchases of silk hosiery.
Women who are flocking to
stocking counters because of a
reported imminent acute short
age of raw silk will find they
have made safe investments if
they take reasonable precautions,
bureau scientists said today.
Laundering the new hosiery be-
fore it is put away in dresser
drawers is advisable, according
to the experts. This removes the
finish with which most silk stock
ings are sold, it was explained.
Several washings are advisable,
the scientists said.
Then, if the stockings are kept
out of strong light and in an
atmosphere not excessively dry
or humid, they should remain in
excellent condition indefinitely.
Pure silk is not subject to de-
terioration unless exposed to air
containing high percentages OF
chemicals. The precious hoard OF

struction of dam, reservoir and

An additional expenditure of more

ing.

Fund Proposal for
D. {. Court BUILDING
Structure Sought :
In Judieiory Square ..
For CopitoI Tribunals

The House Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee had before it
for consideration today a bill in
troduced by its chairman, Repre-
sentative Lanham of Texas, author
izing an appropriation of $500 600
for construction of a new building
in Judiciary Square for use of the
Federal courts of the District.
The proposed new building would
be located on the site of the old
Pension Office, now occupied Sy the
General Accounting Office. Under
provisions of the bill this old build
ing would be razed as soon as the
General Accounting Office moves
into the new building to be erected
for it on the north side of G street
between Fourth and Fifths streets
NV. for which Congress already
has appropriated funds.
Representative Lanham intro
duced the bill late yesterday. About
the same time, Representative
DAlesandro. Democrat, of Mary
land introduced a bill to increase
the membership of the Board OF
Public Welfare from to IL men,
bers. The two additional members
under provisions of the bill, would

City Heads Ready
To Negotiate Deal
For District Building
Sale to U. S. on Terms
Proposed by Budget
Bureau Opposed

District officials announced today
they were ready to continue negotia-
tions with Federal officials for pur-
chase of the District Building by the
United States, but on terms different
from those proposed recently by the
Budget Bureau.
Conferences are expected to be
held in the near future.
The Commissioners advised the
Budget Bureau they thought the
question of Government purchase
of the building should be dealt with
separately from the question of pro-
posed legislation to authorize the
District to accept loans up to S6,0O0,-
900 for facilities necessary to ma
tional defense activity. for which a
national fund has been created by
the Lanham act. The Budget Bu-
reau had suggested that arrange
ments for the Government to take
over the building be incorporated in
the proposed enabling act.
The Commissioners approved
Budget Bureau suggestions for GER
tain changes in the proposed en-
abiing act. They are suggesting,
however, that in any deal for Gov
ernment purchase of the District
Building this transaction should
not only be separate one but
also that definite arrangements
must be made as a condition to the
deal that the municipal govern
ment could get into quarters at the
new Municipal Center Building, now
occupied by Army Quartermaster
Corps workers.
The Army workers now occupy
about go per cent of the space in
the building and it is regarded at
the District Building as essential
that they be provided space else
where before the sale transaction
can be concluded.
1t appeared, also, there may be a
handicap to agreement over the
proposed purchase in the differences
of opinion as to how much equity
the United States may or may not
have in the building, built at a
time when the Federal Government
was paying so per cent of costs of
the District government.

RECORD NUMBER OF NEW
OIL FIELDS DISCOVERE

The American petroleum industry
apparently discovered more new
oil fields in 1940N' than in any
prior year. Preliminary reports
indicate that 800 new fields and
1873 new formations were added
to the oil area of the United States.
Texas led all states with 125
new fields and 102 new producing
formations. Oklahoma had 46 new
fields, Kansas SO, Illinois 80, and
Michigan 26. The 1910 total OF
sos new fields compares with 259
in 1899, 264 in 1888, pa in 1887,
and 1855 in 1885, and brings to
1918 the number of new oil fields
discovered in the United States in
five years.
The number OF new Oil-producing
formations discovered in 1910 was
slightly below the 215 found in
1889 but larger than in any other
year. Many of these new sands"
were found at different depths in
older oil fields as the result of
further research and deeper drill
ling.
