Court Orders EmbezzIer
To Shun Gambling, DRINKING

Justice Alexander Holtzon of
District Court yesterday gave Wilbur
G. Wiley, Al, a suspended sentence
and placed him on probation for
five years for embezzling $5,686, on
condition that he repay the money
and does not gamble or drink any
intoxicating liquor during probation.
Wiley, who lives in the 900 block
OF Hamlin street NE, had pleaded
guilty to having embezzled the sum
last year while working as a clerk
for three title insurance companies.
Justice Holtzoff decided to place
him on probation after Assistant
United States Attorney Ray L.
Jenkins had told the court he be-
lieved the embezzlements resulted
from Wiley's tendencies to drink and
gamble. Mr.. Jenkins also informed
the court he believed the defendant
was extremely sorry for having
embezzled the money.
Wiley originally was indicted on
charges of embezzling more than
$4,000, but pleaded guilty to only
two counts of the indictment which
covered the 1886. The companies
from which the money was embezzled
are the District Title Insurance Co.,
the Lawyers Title Insurance Co. and
the Washington Title Insurance co,

December Worst Month
For Travel, Pe|Iey Says

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Dec. president j..
j. Pelley of the Association of
American Railroads said yesterday
that December would bring "the
worst situation we've ever had" in
travel congestion, but so to 80 days
from now I'VE ought to be over the
hump"
Mr.. Pelley said the Nations rail-
roads were being forced to leave
passengers behind as overcrowded
trains pulled out and "it will be
worse in December"
The obvious reason, he said, is the
tremendous load involved in moving
returning troops, coupled with the
normal holiday.
We'll get over the hump without
attempting passenger travel priori-
ties. because they are not feasible"
he said.
Servicemen are returning at the
rate of more than 1.00O,000 a month,
he said, with $4,000 expected to ar
rive on the Pacific Coast and 490,-
900 on the Atlantic Coast in De-
cember.

The measure, as passed, includes
S413,000 for resumption of pro-

to the Washington Channel here,
which had been interrupted by the
war.

In addition to the flood control,
river and harbor items, the House
added $15S, ,320,0 900 for veterans hos
pitfalls and 24,500,000 for veterans

Our sewing teacher told us to get
all the information possible about
needles and pins, and I am writing
to you for it."
Bone needles have been dug up
in the soil below caves in Europe
where Stone Age people lived many
thousands of years ago. Those bone
needles have eyes which were used
to hold the thread when pieces of
skin were sewed together for cloth
ing. The thread, most likely, was
made from long, thin strips of GER
tain kinds of bark or from the
tendons of slain animals.
Millions of steel needles have
been produced in modern times.
There is reason to believe that the
first metal needles were made in
Asia, more than 1000 years ago.
