Teachers Day
Celebrated At
Helena School

Sunday, January 80,
at the New Light Baptist Church,
the Eliza Miller School celebrated
Teachers Day. .....
The day had its origin and was
sponsored by the Annie Harris
Correct Speech Club. This club
was named for the late Mrs. An
ME Harris, an English teacher at
Eliza Miller School. Since no
Teachers Day greetings were
available, the club members made
them and on them wrote original
verses. These greetings were
purchased by the students and
given to their favorite teachers.
Each child wore a ribbon chain to
the program, The chain contained
a link for each favorite teacher.
These chains were made in the
Home Economics Department I'M
der the supervision of Mrs. G. NJ.
Mays.
A program in honor of the
teachers was rendered at the
church. Mary Ann Turner read.

The Metropolitan Police Band has
come long way in a year. From
the uncertain status of a volunteer
enterprise, it has achieved the i'm
posing stature of an item in the
District budget.
1t was only last May that Maj.
Edward j. Kelly, police superintend-
ent, announced that 1t. Charles
Benter, U. S. NJ, retired, former con-
ductor of the Navy Band, had volun-
teered as a civic gesture to lead a
band of bluecoatS.
Although the leader was to re-
ceive no pay, there was the question
OF funds for band expenses so a
Citizens Committee was formed to
raise $4,000. The committee went to
work with a will. BY September,
hundreds of individuals and busi-
ness houses had contributed more
than $1,000.
Ultimately, about $10,00O-to say
nothing OF such items as some music

Its so much nicer to get it
through an appropriation. since it's
the citizens money anyhow" he
explained.
The Washington Board of Trade,
he said, has told him the estimate
is much too modest" but we can
get along on that-we don't need
any more"
Included in the estimate, which
is now being considered by the
House Appropriation Subcommit-
tee in charge of appropriating for
the District, are an item of $4,000
for police captains salary for 1t.
Benter, $2,400 for a custodian, So
$50 for new instruments, $500 for
travelling expenses (car tokens for
band members to and from con-
certs) and smaller items for tele-
phones, printing, binding, repairs
to instruments and other supplies.
That's the success story Of 1t.
Benter and his bluecoats.

One Of ; Indictments
In Mann Act Case
May Be Eliminated
Judge Studies Motion
Based on Error by
Government Witness

The possibility that at least one
of the three indictments in the
Hopkins Institute vice trial would
be eliminated by a directed verdict
appeared last night in view of the
fact the Governments star witness
recanted some of her testimony con-
corning two of the defendants. .$
Visiting Justice Arthur Lederle oil
Detroit was considering motions
filed by Levi David, attorney repre-
senting four of the seven defend
ants charged with conspiring to
violate the Mann Act, asking that
those parts of the conspiracy in
dictment involving his clients be
eliminated.
Cites Admitted Mistake.
Mr.. David pointed out there was
possibility that the testimony of
Mildred Powell Carter might be
considered to have been impeached
because of her admission that she
was mistaken concerning the iden-
tity of two of the defendants who.
she had testified earlier, were in
the same room with a Cleveland
man described as a patron.
Mr.. David also said there was no
testimony to support the Govern
ment's contention that his clients
were implicated in the transporta-
tion Of women for immoral pur-
poses. He said previous court de-
cisions have held that a woman
cannot be punished for transport
ing herself.
Various witnesses have testified
that some of the defendants kept
dates" with men in various hotels
and apartments around Washing
ton. In each instance, according
to the testimony, the girls either
walked or took taxicabs at their
own expense.
Book May Not Be Used.
There was little likelihood last
night that the little black book"
said to contain the names of dozens
OF prominent persons, would be in
troduced as evidence. The Govern
ment already has rested its case and
defense attorneys have stated that
they have no intention of placing
the institute books in the court
record proceedings.
The defendants themselves prob
ably will be asked to testify, unless
their request for a directed verdict
OF not guilty is granted. During
the past five days they have sat
IN the courtroom along a row of
chairs, remaining almost expression
less while series of former call
girls" of the institute appeared on
the witness stand to testify against
them.

a Week-either on their own time
or on Police Department time, de-
pending on their Shift-the band
members have progressed from An
chors Aweigh" to the Poet and
Peasant Overture"
AS a gesture of its appreciation,
the band is giving a dinner at the
Mayf1oWer Hotel May 9 for the
friends of the band"-the citizens
who helped it get started.
AS the dinner guests reminiSce
about their early goal of $4,000 and
how it was oversubscribed, the con-
versation will naturally turn to the
present-and an item of S11 500 in
the current District budget esti-
mates.
AS 1t. Benter puts it, asking citi-
zens for money, even for an insti-
tuition like a band, is a "ticklish
proposition, particularly when there
are so many requests upon them for
funds.

Shoe Stores Report
Big Rush as Stamp
18 Nears Expiration
DeodIine Is Midnight
Tonight, but Airplone
Coupons Can Be Used

Shoe salesmen took a much
needed rest today, glad that
another shoe coupon ration-No.
18 in ration book WAS to expire
at midnight tonight. Shoe estab-
lishments yesterday experienced
their biggest rush since last June
when stamp II passed into a ration
limbo.
With yesterday the last shopping
day before expiration of the stamp,
consumers, the great majority of
them women, descended on stores
to take final advantage of pur-
chasing pair of shoes-any kind
of shoe.
Rush Is Surprise.
Some dealers expressed surprise
at the last-minute rush. They had
been led to believe that all 18s
had been used Unlike stamp IT..
which was good only for about
Az months, stamp 18 has had a
life of 101A months. That was the
only reason, dealers said, that they
did not have to lock their doors
before closing time, as was done
last year.
At several downtown shops, lines
of about 10 at time formed inside
the doors. Some salesmen went
without lunch because of the rush
Customers seemed to be more in
terested in buying comfortable
shoes and did not care much about
price, color or size of heels. Sum-
mer shoes were much in demand
but not always supplied by dealers.
Airplane Stamp Valid.
If you still don't$have a wearing
inventory of two pairs of shoes as
allowed under Office of Price Ad-
ministration regulations, then air
plane stamp l in book 3 is good.
and airplane stamp 2 will become
valid tomorrow.
Also beginning tomorrow for 20
days, stores may sell childrens
shoes priced at S160 or less without
ration stamps. They include chill
drens shoes, size BIZ through IL,
and misses and little boys, sizes
1872 through 3.
District OPA officials were pre-
pared for calls tomorrow from con-
sumers pleading that they had for
gotten about the expiration date
and please can't they still buy some
shoes with stamp 18. The answer
will be definitely no.

A.Card Holders
Asked 10 Join
In Car Sharinq
District OPA Urges
Assistance in Drive
To Conserve Cos

District Office of Price Admins
tration officials last night urged A
gasoline ration holders to form in
formal car-sharing clubs even
though they will not be required to
participate in the new car pool pro-
gram which goes into operation in
the Metropolitan Area on May %.
you don't have to form a pool
but why not lend hand" officials
asked A-ration motorists. "It will
all help to save gasoline and con-
serve existing transportation facili-
ties"
The OPA warned yesterday that
motorists seeking supplemental ra-
tions after May % will be issued a
ration for only a 30-day period If
they have not signed up at least
three riders for each car pool. 1t
will be left up to the individual ra-
ton board to decide whether driver
is unable to recruit the minimum
number of riders or whether a mo-
torist has such irregular hours that
it will be impossible for him to par
ticipate in the program.
Meanwhile, officials reported that
numerous requests for the OPA
forms to be used by prospective
riders have been received from
transportation committees in Gov
ernment and private business. There
are about LAG such committees in
existence in the Metropolitan Area.
Cards to Be Sorted.
These cards. which will contain
such information as hours of work,
address of home and office, nearest
main street intersection, will be sent
either to 5601 Connecticut avenue
NV, which will be the recruiting
center for Washington and Mary
land riders, or to 1924 North High
land street in Arlington, center for
Virginia riders.
From master files at these two
points, local boards will be able
to get names to supply motorists
who do not have their quota of
riders at the time of filing for sup
Elemental rations.
Andy S. Hynes, ST., District mile
age rationing representative, said
yesterday it was not too early to
begin forming car pools, even though
the drive does not open until May
%. Slogan for the campaign is
Gasoline powers the attack. If you
must drive your car to work, share
1t with your neighbor."
Anticipating that there might be
a rush of motorists to apply for
supplemental rations before May %
and thus avoid the necessity of
forming pool, the OPA pointed out
that no motorist can apply for more
gasoline any sooner than Is days
before the earliest renewal date on
his current ration books.
Some Exceptions Made.
Officials have stressed that If a
motorist is unable to get the re-
quired number of riders and other
transportation is available, then he
stands q good chance of having his
ration application turned down.
Ministers, physicians, collectors
and certain statesmen, all of whose
travel is at irregular hours, will not
be denied rations, according to the
OPA.
Mileage will be computed on a
dlrect home-to- office route and IS
miles to gallon will continue to
be the yardstick for issuing rations.
OPA officials have pointed out
that the Washington campaign will
serve as a model for a Nationwide
plan to be placed in operation later.
