In short, keeping abreast Of new de-
velopments and how they affect your
life insurance program is big part of
the field mans responsibilities. If you
are a Metropolitan policyholder these
facts are worth keeping in mind.
When problems arise in connection
with your life insurance, remember
that your agent has probably been
confronted with the same questions
before. He will be glad to help you -.
TO give you the benefit of his knowl-
edge, training, and experience =. to
seek, when necessary, the benefit of
the advice of Home Office specialists.

The man who never stops studying

n EosT PEOPLE realize that a life in
wi surance agent is usually a man
who "likes people" and wants to help
them.
What isn't so obvious is that eeant-
ing to be helpful isn't enough. An agent
must also knox hoe0 -. and that re-
quireS knowing how changing condi-
tons affect policyholderS.
For instance, agents today must be
able to answer such new questions as:
as my life insurance affected by the
new war clauseS'". "How may my
life insurance be tied in with my Social
Security. DO the new taxes re-
quire any change in my life insurance
arrangements. F.. and scores of other
questions arising from changing con-
ditionS.
An agent is always going TO school"
because, policyholders are continually
confronted with new life insurance
problems. As they arise, the agent
must be ready with advice and coun-
sci. Accordingly, he prepares himself
in many ways; for example, he attends
educational meetings and takes cor

"A Clock That Drips Away the Time

and largest jar is filled with
water every midnight by the an
cient keeper of time. This water
drips from jar to jar through
carefully bored holes until it
reaches the smallest container.
This last jar is marked with a
scale and a float that rises on
the surface of the water to indi-
cate the correct time.
The Canton water clock needs
no winding, it has no handspring
to go wrong, it is not affected
by electricity and there is no
evaporation in that cool clock
tower to slow it down.
The Chinese water clock is an
improvement of the clepsydra
first used by the Babylonians and
Chaldeans when it was discovered
that the sundial was not of much
use on cloudy day and no use
at all at night.
One style of clepsydra used by
the Egyptians allowed water to
drip through a hole in the bot
tom of a jar. AS the water level
went down it exposed marks that
indicated the hours. Another type
gathered the dripping water and
used the ever increasing weight

Hour glasses are still used in
many remote districts. But per-
haps the most elaborate and COM
plicated of all time measures is
the famous Strasbourg Cathedral
Clock.
Thirty feet high, it not only
tells the time of day, but also the
day of the week, month, and the
position Of the moon, the planets
and stars at Strasbourg. Each
day of the week is indicated by
little figure. on Sunday Apollo
appears, on Monday Diana and
SO on. Each day at noon the
Twelve Apostles parade before a
figure Of Christ, while a cock
flaps its wings and crows.
1t is 20 be hoped that that won
der clock will tell the time for
many more years.

In governmental expenditures.
Since the entry of the United
States into the war, Mr.. Woodrum
has redoubled his effort to see that
all unnecessary items be cut from

has been stirred by the revelation of
proposed expenditures for activities
not actually connected with defense,

Eastman Sees Possibility
OF Restrictions on Travel

By the Associated Press
Joseph B. Eastman, director of
the Office Of Defense Transporta-
ton, said yesterday it may be neces-
sary for the Government to restrict
'1arge-scale civilian passenger move
ments at certain periods or in cer-
tain areas" but that no general ra-
tioning of rail or bus passenger
tickets was contemplated for the
immediate future.
Mr.. Eastman suggested in a state
ment that the time-honored vaca-
ton months of July and August
might bring a travel peak which
the carriers could not satisfactorily
meet" because of troop and freight
movement by rail and buses.
He urged that vacation dates be
staggered instead Of confined largely
to those popular months, and said
that some convention dates might
have to be changed or postponed in
definitely.

D. {. Subway Study
To Be Begun Soon by
Highway Director
Commissioners Assign
Survey Due July 5
To Copt. Whitehurst

A preliminary survey Of the pos
sibilities Of subway construction In
the District, as a traffic alienation
project, will be started soon under
the direction of Capt. H C. White
hurst, District highway director
The Commissioners yesterday
placed responsibility for this survey,
ordered by Congress, on Cant.
Whitehurst's shoulders, but directed
all agencies of the Municipal Gov
eminent to cooperate and furnish
any desired information.
Capt. Whitehurst said the pre-
liminary study must be completed
by July under the terms Of con-
gressional joint resolution.
He said the District would mpke
full use of all past subway studies,
but that new data would be gath
cred. to be combined with previous
information. The survey will be
made by employees of the District
Highway Department and the Pub
lie Roads Administration already
assigned to the highway planning
survey, plus such additional en-
ployes Of the Highway Department
as can be spared for the work.
The subway survey plan was
initiated by Representative Dale
sandro, Democrat, OF Maryland, who
suggested that it be made by the
Public Utilities Commission. This
was rewritten by the House District
Committee to provide that the study
be made jointly by the commission
and the District Commissioners, and
so was passed by the House. The
Senate in turn changed it to provide
that the study be made by the Com
Customers. and in this form it was
finally adopted.

Prosecution Studied
In Puzz|ing Case Of
B|ackout Violation
Corporation Counsel
To Decide Tomorrow If
Action Will Be Token

The corporation counsels office
tomorrow will be called on to de-
eide whether there are sufficient
grounds for prosecuting a puzzling
case involving an apartment resi-
dent who apparently disregarded
Fridays blackout.
The violation, on the first floor
of Southeast Washington apart
ment, was noticed by the apart
ment manager Immediately after
the blackout started.
Knocks on the door failed to bring
a response and the building air-raid
warden was notified. He Jared no bet
ter. Other wardens and auxiliary
police also attempted to bring the
residents to the door, but had no
luck though a radio could be heard
playing inside, 1t was said.
Later, 1t was reported, the radio
was shut of, but lights still showed
Telephone calls went unanswered
and police from the eleventh pre-
cinct who were summoned also were
unable to get into the place.
Whether any legal action can be
taken is complicated by the fact
that no one actually saw the resi-
dents Of the apartment. Wardens
told police they had had trouble
with the same place during the
blackout March when light was
seen from the outside.
Police Supt. Edward ]. Kelly said
yesterday he was awaiting a full
report from police who checked the
violation. Under blackout regula-
tion a warrant must be issued, fol-
lowed by court action. Penalty for
conviction is maximum Of a $500
fine or sentence Of 80 days in
Jail or both.

He said he could not vet say when
the next blackout test would be
held and added it might depend on
when air-raid warning sirens and
horns were in full operation.
