200 Are Needed
By Rotionine Boords

Then the customers fill out the
forms telling the number OF square
feet that must be heated, the num-
ber of children under yeares and
adults over 65 years. There are
other answers that have to be con-
sidered in the final determination.
AS the applications are received
at the rationing boards. the volun-
teers go to work with their charts.
The more volunteers that apply
for the job, the quicker it will 60.
Conservatively, rationing officials
figure it will take 100 people working
eight hours a day for two weeks
straight to handle all the applica-
tions. More people, Of course, would
speed the job.
Volunteers should apply imme-
diately since the four-ho training
course which viii make them valu-
able to the rationing boards takes

II. S. Removal
OF Mirrors Stirs
Feminine Ire

The Government has removed the
mirrors from the ladies' restrooms
in Temporary Buildings x and Y.
occupied by the War Department,
thereby creating feminine tempest
The Public Buildings Administra-
ton, which is in charge of the struc-
lures, removed the mirrors at the
request of the War Department and
stenographers have been complain
ing with the anger of women who
can't get their makeup on straight.
All sorts of rumors as to the
reason for the removal have been
circulating. Among these were that
an efficiency expert had ordered
them removed so time would not be
wasted in preening. Others were
that the Government needed the
quicksilver on the mirrors and that
the units in these buildings were to
be transferred.
1t was established this afternoon
that the mirrors were taken down
because pipes in the building were
getting clogged up with hair, hair
pins, etc, creating "intolerable sani-
tary conditions"
War. Department officials reasoned
that without the mirrors the women
employees would not comb their hair
IN the Government building. !

What Can | Do?'

Wartime rationing has brought
another big job-this time affecting
$4,000 families of the District and
demanding at least 200 volunteers.
The call is for workers to process"
the applications for fuel oil as they
come to the city's Is war price and
rationing boards.
The final say on each application,
of course, will be in the hands of
board members, but the volunteers
have to work out mathematically
how much fuel each home should
have. It's all done by charts, but 1t
requires plenty of adding and sub
tracing. In fact, 1t takes an hour
to handle Ave of the applications.
The applications soon will be
ready to 60 out to the fuel dealers,
who will mail them on to their Gus
toners with certified statements Of
how many gallons Of fuel oil they

pensary system and establishment
of midnight closing hour for liquor
stores in Prince Georges County.

tions made yesterday by the county

Circuit Court.
The report, which was presented
to Judges Charles c. Marbury and
John B. Gray, jr., at Upper Marl-
boro, noted that 66 of 81 cases con-
sidered by the jury resulted in in
dictments; II cases were ignored
and four were continued for further
investigation. The group began
hearing cases October S.
Referring to newspaper stories
concerning a gambling establish
ment in the county, to which per-
sons are allegedly taken in District
taxicabs, the grand jury declared
that no evidence has been obtained
to warrant further investigation.
Further Inquiry Urged.
The group pointed out that a pre-
liminary investigation was stymied
by the refusal of the writer of one
OF the articles to appear before it.
Law enforcement authorities of
the county, however, were urged by
the grand jury to make further
investigation of the supposed" con-
dltlon ito determine whether the
report has any foundation"
1T is the feeling of this body" the
report asserted. that authors of
such newspaper stories referred to
above and who because of their priv
ileged occupation are not subject to
compulsory disclosure of informa-
ton, should, if in possession of the
facts - appear before investi-
eating bodies and cooperate with
law enforcement authorities
Otherwise, the report continued
they should refrain from making
statements which reflect upon the
efficiency of public officials and law
enforcement officers"

ice Building Jail in Hyattsville;

Charges Being Drawn
AGAINST 7 Men Held
In Burglary Series
More Than 1000 Articles
Of Stolen Property
Reported Found

Charges were being prepared today
at the Eighth Precinct Station
against two men whose arrest late
Monday night solved at least 35
burglaries in the Northwest section
of the city and Chevy Chase, Md,
and led to the recovery of loot val
ued at more than $4,000, police
announced.
Police were attempting to identify
the owners of the more than 1000
articles of stolen property so that
definite informations could be pre-
pared against the two men. The
loot ran from valuable oil paintings
cut from frames to rings, bracelets
and other valuable jewelry.
The loot was recovered in room
ing house in the 1400 block of N
street NV. operated by one of the
two men, according to police. 1t
was packed in two steamer trunks
and 13 travelling bags. Two of the
latter were hidden under coal
pile in the cellar.
One the "Auger Burglar"
The leader of the two men, both
n years old. was known to police
as the "auger burglar" because he
always used brace and bit to cut
away a section of a door or window
to get into homes he robbed Police
said the pair watched the society
columns of local newspapers to see
when prospective victims were leav-
ing for vacations.
The arrest of the two men by
Detective Charles T. Williams and
Pvt. Roland NJ Kirby, who had been
investigating this series of burglar
les for three months, is regarded
by Capt. Arthur c. Belt, Eighth Pre-
cinct commander. as "the finest
piece of police work in the District
in years"
Sale of Cuff Links Gives Clue.
The loot is being held at the eighth
precinct station for identification by
persons reporting their homes en-
tered. Capt. Bell said large guam
tity of articles stolen had not been
recovered.
I'VE believe there are many more
than IS housebreakings against
these men," he said.
Detective Williams got on the trail
OF the two men in July, when a
downtown jeweler reported to police
ne had purchased quantity of gold
cuff links from man who gave an
address in the 1400 block of w street
NV. The detective, falling to find
any one fitting the description al
the address listed, Systematically
covered the corresponding street in
every section Of the city, with the
assistance of Pvt. Kirby.
Through his tedious elimination
process, Capt. Belt said, the men
were finally tracked down Monda,
night.
$4,000 Necklace In Loot.
One four-strand pearl necklace
with a diamond clasp found in the
house is believed to be worth $4,000
Capt. Belt said. A painting believed
to be the property of Scott Appleby
local real estate man who lives at
25Ol Thirtieth street NV, was
found and has been valued at $500
The loot also included nine pistols
hundreds OF pieces of jewelry, bot
ties OF champagne and furs.
Police also found a Bronx County
IN. " deputy sheriff's badge and
an honorary police badge issued here
IN the mems possession. Capt. Belt
said one man has admitted serving
time for robbery in another city.

Beavers Battle Engineers

Ingham county, Michigan, road
commission engineers, with the aid
of trapper, have solved a high
way construction problem which has
puzzled them for two years.
A family of beavers did it.
Alaiedon township was the loca-
ton of the knotty road building prob
lem. The beavers had selected a
timbered hideout along the poplar
lined branch of Mud creek. A trou-
blesome sink hole developed at the
point where the stream crosses q
township road.
The problem was made more COM
plex by the fact that the beavers
had constructed a dam in the creek
branch and kept the swamp thor
oughly flooded. Engineers learned
by tests that hard bottom was 60
feet from the surface of the old
road.
Persisting in their efforts to build
a Arm road across the three-quar-
ter-of-a-nile stretch Of swamp, the
county engineer obtained a permit
from the state conservation depart
ment to trap the beavers. A trap
per was employed and he caught
three of the animals.
