W. emergency is the
- --- wide spread knowl-
edge of first aid and hygiene.
Many classes have been carried
on successfully in our state
and as a result emergency needs
have been learned. Two in
stances here give an example
Of quick application Of the
things learned. Norris Sher-
wood, one of Milford's police
men, came to the rescue of a
small boy when he had a piece
Of candy lodged in his throat.
Another boy getting in too deep
water was going down Tor the
third time when pulled to safe
ty by a rescuer. Each time the
knowledge of first aid was ap-
piled with satisfying results.
Most of the first aid classes in
the state are given freely by
the Red Cross. Human lives, in
this country, ara still very
precious, and when two are
saved there is occasion for fav7
orable comment from the press
and the public.
a
Bombay, India, Is. long way
off, in reckoning distances, but
it is not too far for the fame
of the products of the L. D.
Caulk Laboratories to bridge.
By the roundabout way OF Kobe,
Japan, a business man learned
of these products and has writ
ten to the local offices for
prices and necessary business
transactions for obtaining the
same. This person was partic-
ularly interested in the sham
poo made here. By the letter it
was also learned that all Of the
beauty shops are not located
in this part of the world, even
though one would think so by
their numbers. The wife Of the
aforesaid man is a beautician,
and had used the shampoo for
herself and clients until her
supply became exhausted, ex-
cept for some she kept for per-
sonal use. The communication
spoke of the popularity of the
beauty aid, and the impossible
ity for purchases there, and
wanted to know inst where the
could BE purchased.
The letter was sent TO Toronto,
Canada. Thus four countries
were involved in a quest for the
local product. Milford is a dot
on any map, but the world is
made more conscious of its be-
ing by L. d. Caulk products
Ehan by any other means. OF
course the man received a very
courteous letter, giving direc-
ions and a complimentary
package containing the sham

Bogus $40 Bills Found
In Circulation Here

Secret Service agents warned to-
day that number of bogus SO bills
have been found in circulation in
Washington during the last few
days.
They said the Capital at present
is the only city in the Nation in
which this particular note has ap-
peared, but added that another fic-
titious $40 bill with a different back
plate had been discovered in Balti-
more.
The Secret Service agents said the
local note can be identified by the
following features:
Alexander Hamilton's right eye is
misshapen and white lines in his
coat are too prominent, while the
cross-ruled lines which form the
portrait background are uneven and
flecked with tiny white spots.

N. Greely, commanding offcer of
the Washington Provisional Bri-
gade, in speaking before the Federal
Community Chest Forum yesterday
IN ODonnell's restaurant, 1921 e

Some one will have to take the re-
sponsibility for initiating such q
project In the near future in order
to provide suitable recreation CEN
ter for men on leave, Gen. Greely
said.

bly,. but he pointed out expansion Of
the Army as well as Of civilian Fed
eral personnel concerned with ma
tional defense may change the
aspect of the Capital materially in
six months.
There may be millions Of people
here before we're through" Gen.
Greely commented.
Since men being accepted for mill
tary service are "the cream Of the
country" he declared, Washington
citizens should count it a privilege
ito meet them, greet them and
make them feel at home"
The Soldiers. Sailors and Marines

the group at future hearing of
oppose any elimination of trans
portation service in the Petworth
area, any increase in rates, or any
elimination of stops on the Pet
worth express line north Of Ran
dolph street NV.
Mr.. Merrill. in stating the transit
company's views, proposed the elm
ination of the "detour" of the Pet
worth local bus line to Sixteenth
street NV. and argued instead for
continuation of the line straight
down town via Sherman avenue
NV. In addition he suggested an
increased fare on the Takoma ex-
press bus and elimination of stops
on the PetWorth express bus be-
tween Park road and Grant Circle.
On the motion of Ernest F. Henry

proving the Sumner-Capper resolu-

by Randolph Blinn, veteran writer
and traveller, at a meeting of the
Columbia Historical Society in the

Europe and trips across the Atlantic
With his father as boy.
Among persons recalled by Mr..
Bllnn were the late A. Mitchell
Palmer, Attorney General in Presi-
dent wilson's administration, to
whom the speaker gave credit for
bringing about the nomination of
President Wilson at the Democratic
convention of 1912. In this con-
nection, Mr.. Blinn related how Mr..
Palmer, who was floor leader for
Wilson, had been urged to switch
in favor of Champ Clark and indi-
Gated that Mr.. Palmers refusal to
switch and his steadfastness for
Woodrow Wilson was the real cause
Of the latters nomination. This, Mr..
Blinn explained, is contradictory to
a popular belief that William Jen-
ningS Bryan pulled the trick"
Heard Palmer Refuse.
In connection with the latter ac-
count, Mr.. Blinn explained how he
had heard Mr.. Palmer refuse to
switch to Clark, upon the urgent re-
quest of a Democratic leader.
Mr.. Bllnn told of running the
Paris edition of the Chicago Tribune
during the World War and of the
French printers setting type in a
language with which they were un-
familiar.
He also related how, as child

Marine CorpsAdopts
Garand Rifle After
Exhaustive Tests
Faces c Competition With
Army, However, in
Obtaining Weapon

The Garand semi-automatic- rifle,
long a stormy issue among rife ex-
perts, today has become the standard
shoulder weapon for the Marine
Corps.
1t will be substituted for the pres
ent 1908 Springfield. single shot rife.
The Springfield rifle, and the
Garand, johnson and Winchester
semi-automatics were put through
rough, simulated field condition tests
at the San Diago (Calif) Marine
base.
According to Marine officials, the
tests were conducted between No.
vember and December 20 last year
under very exhaustive functional"
experiments.
All small arms for the Marines are
procured through the War Depart
ment and one oficer remarked at
is a question Of how many they can
let us have" There is a question
of priority since the Army has been
rushing production and Is anxious
to equip its expanding force as
rapidly as possible, he added.
One officer explained the Marines
have sufficient funds available now
to cover an initial purchase. How
ever, he declined to say how many
rifles could be secured with the
money.
Last spring when the Army was
adopting the Garand, considerable
debate arose over the relative merits
of 1t and the johnson. At the time,
the War Department was producing
about a half dozen Garands a day
at its Springfield (Mass) Arsenal.
The debate finally came to a head
with a "non-competitive" match the
latter part of May at Fort Belvoir,
Va. Though the results were close,
Army officials stood firm on the de-
cision to use the Garand exclusively.

Living Theater Play,
Transferred toF Film,
Shown in Preview
Producers Hope to See
Stage Technique Taken
TO Out-of- the-Woy Towns

Educators, rehgionists and Gov
eminent officials gathered here yes
terday to see the first result Of an
attempt to blend the arts of the
living theater and the motion pic
lures.
They witnessed a movie taken in
New York of stage play. The play
was Maxwell Anderson's Journey to
Jerusalem" a story based on Incl
dents in the boyhood OF Christ.
1t Is the first production OF The
eter-on-F Film, a company organized
to preserve on film and distribute to
cities which never see stage per-
formances the best of the New YORK
theater productions.
The technique is entirely different
from the regular movies. Inc setS
and cast of the play chosen for
filming are transferred to a stuolo.
Same Action as in Theater.
There they 60 through the per-
fornance as given in the theater,
while the cameras turn over. NO
lines are changed and the action is
the same. There are even inter-
missions, to keep the illusion OF the
theater.
Yesterdays performance was gwen
IN the auditorium of the Natlonal
Archives, before an invited audlence
which included a representative OF
the Army.
Defense officials had witnessed the
nroduction earlier. with the idea TO
sizing up the possibilities OF usiIie
such Aims for entertainment IN
camps.
The company expects to make
number of other s-of-pIays'
which will be available for use by
clubs. churches and audiences IN
smaller cities.
Produced I'm Six Days.
The Journey to jerusalem d1d
not make a hit on Broadway, but
.Ioseph Pollak, head of the MIN
company. was so impressed by 1t
that he decided 1t should be pre-
served on film.
The filrn was produced in six days
and there was little expense in
volved. The running time OF the
picture is 80 minutes and 1t has
been copied on 16-millimeter film
so that it can be shown in small
places where such projectors are
used.
The sound was recorded as the
picture was made and the scenes
are exactly as they were in the
theater.
The producers do not believe they
will be in competition with regular
movies, but hope rather to take the
living theater to places where such
productions are not seen.
