HousehoIders Urged to Save
Fuel by Cutting Temperature
j. Lowering Thermostot 10 Degrees May
Conserve 1919, Commerce Tests Show

Householders can make substan-
tial savings in fuel by using ordinary
precautions to avoid excessively high
temperatures in their homes and
preventing unnecessary heat loss, the
Commerce Department reported to-
day.
Experiments conducted by experts
Of the Bureau of Standards show
that fuel savings up to 10 per cent
may result from setting down the
thermostat 10 to Is degrees for eight
hours every night. For plants using
automatic firing equipment, setting
back the thermostat during part of
the day as we'll as during the night
will make possible 20 per cent saw
ing. -.
Long Lowering Helpful.
Lowering the thermostat would be
especially worthwhile, according to

COP Fails 10 Nominate
ARLINGTON Board Candidate

There will be no Republican oppo-
sition to Chairman Edmund D.
Campbell, seeking reelection to the
Arlington County Board in the gen.
eral election in November.
The Arlington County Republican
Executive Committee last night
failed to name a candidate after
John Locke Green and Frank B.
Campbell, members of special
committee, reported they had no
recommendations to make. They,
with Trial Justice B. M. Hedrick,
were named at county Republican
convention last week to report on
possibility of entering a COP cam

occupied during the day, when the
temperature may be reduced for
more than eight hours, and in houses
of light frame construction and
those subject to much air leakage.
Less worthwhile savings may be
expected in houses where the tenn
perature can be lowered for less
than eight hours out of the "a, in
those that are well insulated, and
in houses heavily constructed of
masonry, or with hand-flred heating
plants.
Many persons keep bedrooms open
at night, and the resulting loss of
heat is considerable, the Commerce
Department pointed out BY turn
ing off the heat supply to rooms
with open windows, the loss can be
materially decreased, it said.
Small Savings Important.
Where heating costs are so cents
day, a 10 per cent saving would be
only cents and the householder
doubtless would not consider such a
saving justified by the discomfort
of sleeping and especially of arising
in chilly house." the department
added.
"At the present time, however,
when both personal interest and ma
tional welfare are served by con-
serving all fuel possible heating ex-
perts of the bureau feel that even
saving of 10 per cent may be i'm
portant."

Six Back From Hong Kong
Register at Silver Spring
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Because they were detained" in
the Far East, six men apologized to
their Silver Spring draft board yes
terday for their late registration.
The men, all missionaries who
were interned in Hong Kong fol-
lowing the japanese attack Decem-
Der 8, said they were eager and
willing to serve their country. In
ternment in the notorious Stanley
Prison was the lot of five of the
missioners, while the sixth, Charles
e. Winters, was spared the privations
OF his friends because he could drive
an ambulance.
Mr.. Winters, native of Colorado
Springs, Colo, said in Hong Kong
he saw a japanese soldier lead
Chinese coolie to the end of a pier
shoot him and kick his BODY into
the water.
Besides Mr.. Winters, the group of
Seventh-Day Adventist registrants
included Cameron A. Carter, c. C.
Krohn, A. L. Ham, H. H. Morse and
G. j. Mcintyre.

Itch for Office Held
Motiyating Backers
Of Charter Setup
Contrel, Smith Accuse
Mrs. Willie Perry Of
Purtisun Attack

Proponents of a change to a char
ter form of government for Mont
gomery County was attributed to
an itch for Office" in a statement
issued today by Joseph A. Cantrel
and J. Bond Smith, co-chairmen of
the Publicity Committee of the
United Democratic Organizations of
the county.
Their charge was made in response
to one made last week by Mrs.
Willie Green Day Perry, a member
of the Charter Committee, who re-
ferred to Mr.. Cantrel as Jumping
joe" name which she said was
tackled on him approximately four
years ago by the Democratic organi-
zation publication, The Maryland
News" while Mr.. Cantrel was then
criticizing the county government.
Ordinarily we would ignore a
statement by lady" Messrs. Can
trel and Smith said, particularly
when 1t consisted exclusively of par
tisan attacks and personalities such
as those contained in the statement
of Mrs. Perry"
They reiterated their contention
that the charter movement could
not be directed in nonpartisan
manner. Their statement added:
Her criticism of professional
politicians and jobholders is par
ticularly amusing to those familiar
with her own record in both
capacities in Montgomery County.
Shortly after moving into the
county, she became a political job
holder under the Democratic ma
chine which she now denounces;
and thereafter was appointed by the
same machine as supervisor of
county aid, from which position she
was removed, however, by the
Fusionists who appointed one of
their supporters in her place.
"The minutes of the county COM
missioners show that after Mrs.
Perry had served in the position for
little over year and drawn SAL
ary regularly on the county payroll
for that period, she recommended
that the Office be abolished as un-
necessary and its duties transferred
to the Montgomery County Welfare
Board
Just when Mrs. Perry ascer-
tanned that her post was unneces-
sary does not appear. Nor does it
appear how much she was in
fiuenced in this course by the i'm
mlnence Of her removal by the
Fusionists. 1t does appear, however,
that she remained silent about the
lack OF necessity for her Office until
she had drawn the last salary check
which it was possible for her to re-
celve for the unnecessary duties
which she was performing"

Silver Spring Groups
Fight Change in
18th Street Bus Line
PUG Plan to End Service
On Alosko Ave. Attacked
Hearing Delay Sought

A proposal of the District Public
Utilities Commission to eliminate
bus service on Alaska avenue be-
tween Sixteenth street and Georgia
avenue is expected to draw vigorous
opposition from the Allied Civic
Groups of Silver Spring, Berry A.
Clark, president, announced today.
Mr.. CLARK SAID special meeting
OF the organization, composed of
representatives from all civic groups
in the Silver Spring area, would be
held at 8 pm. tomorrow at the
Silver Spring County Building to
determine course of action.
Numerous residents in the COM
munity have complained OF the
proposal, and mass meeting may
be held, he said.
Delay in Hearing Asked.
In the meantime, he has written
to the PUG asking that a public
hearing scheduled for September 8
be postponed because the Maryland
primary election falls on that day.
Citizens groups will not have
sufficient time to consider the mat
ter by that date, he added.
Pointing out that the proposal is
OF importance to residents of Silver
Spring, as many of them are de-
pendent on bus transportation, Mr..
Clark said he believed "the entire
community will support any meas
ure opposing elimination of this
vital bus line"
approximately 1.100 persons will
be affected by the proposed change
and be forced to depend on the
slower and less comfortable Georgia
avenue car line" Mr.. Clark said.
Express Service Planned.
The proposal provides that pas
sengers now transferring from
shuttle buses at the Georgia avenue
terminal Of the Capital Transit Co.
be taken to Washington by the
Georgia avenue car line instead of
by bus down Alaska avenue to Six
teenth street.
The proposal declares that the
area bounded by Eastern avenue,
Georgia avenue, Dahlia street and
Sixteenth street Is within reasonable
walking distance of either Sixteenth
street or Georgia avenue, and that
the 1,l00 passengers now transfer
ring from buses should be routed
over the Georgia avenue car line.
Plans to eliminate the Alaska ave-
nue. portion of the Sixteenth street
So route we're announced as part
OF a proposal to institute express
service during the rush hours on
Sixteenth street.

FAIRFAX, Va, Sept. 1.-Conten-
tion as to which side would pay costs
of stenographic transcript of the
proceedings today delayed opening
of the trial Of the annexation suit
brought by Falls Church to acquire
about 2,100 acres in Fairfax County
After nearly an hour of filing
stipulations by both sides, Common
wealth's Attorney Paul Brown, rep
resenting Fairfax County, asked the
court to rule on the question of who
should pay the court reporters fee.
He contended that under State law
the complaining party in annexation
suits must pay court costs and,
therefore, Falls Church should bear
this expense.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy assert
ed that the court costs do not include
expenses Of the court reporter s
transcript, therefore should be borne
by Fairfax County.
The court then adjourned while
both sides conferred on prorating
the expenses between them, as Falls
Church wants a copy of the record.
Shortly thereafter, John A. K.
Donovan, Falls Church town coun-
sci, moved to strike out petition
filed by Arlington County earlier
this week.
Arlington filed objections to the
proposed annexation suit and Mr..
Donovan argued that that county.
was not affected by the proceeding,
which involved Fairfax County land
only. He cited a special act of the
General Assembly freezing Airing
tons present boundaries against fur
ther encroachment from surround
ing Jurisdictions after Alexandria
annexed portion of Arlington sew
eral years ago.
Judge Mccarthy, along with
Judges j. r. H. Alexander of Lees

ton.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. Fair
fax County farmers yesterday car
ried their plea for labor to Gov.
Darden, urging that convict road
crews be taken from highway re-
pairs and put to work filling their
silos.
Later, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture L. M. Walker, jr., informed
that the plan had received little Of
fetal encouragement, called on resi-
dents in the Washington area
many of whom are dependent for
theier milk on the ITO dairy farms in
Fairfax County-to pitch in and
help save winter feed crops now
before it is too late"
Corn Condition Critical.
The farmers, all dairymen, told
the Governor and later the agricul-
ture commissioner that continued
production of milk was dependent
on the storage of corn, which, they
said, must be saved now or not at
ALL Farm labor, they said, even at
high prices is not available.
Gov. Darden said he was fully
aware of the hardships facing farm
ers,, but referred the problem of con-
vict help to Maj. Rice M. Youell,
commissioner of corrections. Mai.
Youell said the plan was imprac-
teal.
It has become apparent, Mr..
Walker declared, that the labor
shortage will not be relieved unless
the necessity for such work can
appeal to the patriotic side of people
who might be in a position to help"
He urged Washington people to lend
a helping hand, If for only a few
hours each day, to save the corn
crops while there is time.
Mr.. Walker said the response to
his plea for volunteer vacation labor,
issued late in the spring, had been
negligible. He said he still believed,
however, that once the people real
lied how critical labor conditions
had become in the vital business of
food production they would forget
personal convenience and offer help.
School Date Postponed.
He noted that some counties had
postponed the opening of schools to
allow high school students to help,
and other counties were consider
ing such action.
Volunteer workers easily can find
where their help is most needed, he
said, by calling their county agents.
Fairfax County Agent L. S. Green
accompanied the Fairfax farmers to
Richmond and testified to the
validity OF their plea. Farmers in the
group included Maurice M. Fox OF
Vienna, B. B. Iden of Vienna, WAL
lace Carper of Mclean and w. E.
