II you like children, ii you
have any special ability to draw
or paint or play the piano, to
sew or cook or to do any Of the
arts and crafts and you would
like to give even a half day a
week to volunteer work, I can
tell you where you are needed
and needed badly.
Over in Georgetown on N
street, just a block from Wiscon-
sin avenue, stands the George
town House. It has been in exist
ence since 1890. 1t serves as
neighborhood center for children
and is supported by the Com
munity War Fund, the returns
from the Spring Garden Pilgrim
ages, and by the fees paid for day
care.
There are five full-time teach
ers, and where there used to be
60 volunteers a week there now
are only about 20.
Younger children are divided
into three groups-nursery school
children from two and a half to
five years, who come in the morn
ing around 8 o'clock and remain
until about 6 in the evening. They
are, almost without exception, the
children of working mothers.
They have music, free play, rest
periods. hot lunches and milk and
crackers in the middle of the
morning.
Group two is composed Of the
kindergarten children who go to
public school kindergarten Gust
around the corner) in the morn
ing and come to Georgetown
House for lunch and play in the
afternoon. Group three includes
the first-graders who have grad
uated from kindergarten.
For the older children there are
interesting things to do on Sat-
urdays and after school on week
days music, dramatics, story
telling, cooking, sewing, dancing,
drawing, carpentry, etc. For the
teen-agers this is called the
Georgetown Girls Club there are
all sorts of interesting girls pro-
grams 49,.
A volunteer in charge of the
carpentry class is good looking
Mrs. Riggs Parker. (And by the
way, she says the class needs wood
to keep going.) Herself the moth
er of three husky boys, Mrs. Park
er first became interested in the
Georgetown House through her
own sons, and because she felt
there was a definite need for
recreational facilities which
would keep the growing boy
healthily entertained and off the
streets and out of mischief.
A member of the Executive
Board of Georgetown House, Mrs.
Parker manages to combine her
volunteer work with a busy
schedule which includes running
her own home and a successful
dress shop. She also is on the
Special Gifts Committee of the
1945 War Fund drive.
1t can be done, you see! Come
on, you volunteers. Telephone

tell her you'll volunteer one day

worthy organization going
smoothly!

Aides Are Needed
At the HospitoIs

only the jobs that require the train
ing of graduate nurse.
But there are many other jobs to
be performed in hospital - ones
that were done in peacetime by
graduate and student nurses. The
helpless must be fed. Temperatures
must be taken. Bells must be an
swered. Vigilance must be kept at
the pedsides of the very Ill. The
patients generally must be made
comfortable.
These are the jobs now being per-
formed by Red Cross nurses aides
in Washington hospitals, but there
are far too few aides on duty to
meet even the shortage Of nurses
existing today-to say nothing of
the. shortage that will exist when
even more nurses respond to the
appeal Of the war wounded.
Need $50 More Aides.
To meet the immediate need, $50
more Red Cross nurses aides are
needed. As they apply to the Red
Cross (see The Job in Brief for
tnstructions), classes will be sched-
uled to train them SO they can be
rushed to the hospital wards where
they are so desperately needed.
In addition, trained nurse instruc-
tors are needed by the Red Cross to
train both day and night classes.
A registered nurse who cannot join
the Army or Navy Nurse Corps can
do her war job by training 80 aides
to take their places In the wards
of Washington hospitals.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Adam
Yulch, whose system of identifying
criminals by laundry marks had a
perfect batting average in 1914,
doesn't look like man you'd expect
to. find mixed up in a crime. j.
He can identify most murder or
amnesia victims within "a hours.
lSiree he established the first laun-
dry mark filing bureau eight years
ago, no defense attorney Fever has
challenged his evidence In cross
examination. A lieutenant on the
Nassau County police force, he likes
to call himself "consultant for the
entire Nations law-enforcement
agencies that includes the
FBI."
Adam is a little fellow-just S feet
2 inches tall. A plainclothesman
he loses couple of those inches in
his hat, which settles snugly around
his ears. At so, he still is excited
about crime detection. When he's
telling about case, his eyes widen
as though he is hearing the story
for the first time.
He Joined the police force of q
neighboring county 80 years ago be-
cause he wanted to ride a motor
cycle. The inspector said that if
Adam would buy his own motorcycle
they'd pay him a dollar an hour to
catch speeders. Adam earned about
$4,000 month for the county and
soon had couple of extra counties
as customers.
1t was in 1886, while he was in
Nassau's detective division, that he
became aware of the potentialities
of laundry marks. Three bandits in
a stolen car had made a haul of
$40 500, abandoned the car and es-
capped. In the car was a suit of
clothes with a cleaners mark.
For three months Adam canvassed
cleaning establishments in the met
ropolitan area. Then one day up in
Westchester, Adam said, ito my sur
prise and almost done a backflip,
a cleaner says, Yes, that's my
mark"
All three bandits were caught and
convicted.
He told his commanding officer,
Inspector Henry r. King, what he
had learned. Every cleaners mark
has an indicator, route designation
and customers designation.
BY collecting sample marks and
filing them, Adam thought he could
find the proper cleaner. From the
route and customers marks, the
cleaner could tell Adam the name of
the person in question.
Within a few months after start
ing of his file his first murder case
turned up. The body of a man who
had been chained to a tree, his
clothing set afire, was found on New
Jerseys Palisades.
No one could identify the victim

A Job To Be Done

That superintendent's report is
typical of what is happening here as
the appeal for Army nurses is in
tensif1ed. Every nurse eligible for
the Army is being told, "The
wounded can't wait"
But the seriously Ill in Washing
ton hospitals require nursing care,
too. That is an essential of recov-
cry. This is today's picture in some
Washington hospitals:
Part of Casualty Hospital has
been closed for lack of nurses. In

'hard-io-Gef Stocks
ShouId Be Retained
By u. S, Baruch Says
6y the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Bernard M Baruch recommended
yesterday that in disposing of sur
plus property the United States re-
tain full control over its stock piles
of nonperishable materials not
readily available in the United
States.
There are two reasons why this
should be done, he declared In a
letter to Senator Johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado. in case of war
and to prevent combinations, car
tells, quotas or other barriers to our
economy
'The mere possession of these
things, produced outside the United
States continental area, will be
worth more to us in the way of
self-confldence and respect from
others than the money we would
get from the SALE" he said.
Backs Same Program.
Mr.. Baruch was chairman of the
War Industries Board in the World
War and at President Roosevelt's
request made a survey and recon-
mendations for economic policies
after the present conflict. That
report was the basis for the surplus
property disposal law. Recalling
Mr.. Baruchs extensive studies Sem
ator johnson asked if his views had
been modified by recent war devel-
opments. ..---.
Mr. Baruch said he stood on the
same 10-point program he recon-
mended at first, which called for
conducting all the surplus property
olsposal Aas in goldfish bowl" with
the emphasis on selling as much as
possible, as early as possible, With
out unduly disrupting normal trade
Ampllfying his stand, however.
Mr, Baruch bore down on the ad-
Visablhty Of retaining the stock
piles OF nom United States material
acquired at vast effort and expense
since Pearl Harbor. He did not
specify individual items, but the
shortages OF such things as quinine,
TIN. natural rubber and spices.
To Eye Foreign Holdings.
All such property acquired for
var purposes, Mr.. Baruch said, |
should be retained, unless it can
De sold with the idea of preventing
nflatlon and then with the under |
standing 1t could be repurchased."
SO far as the other nonperish-
able surpluses and plants are con-
cerned," he wrote, each should be
considered from the national and !
international standpoint"
The 74-year-old New York finan-
cler said full consideration would
nave to be given to American hold
lngS In other countries, what free
dom OF movement there would be in
case of war, "and whether there is
a possibility of any other country or
countries combining together in
cartel, quota, or any other form of
barrier against us.
Efforts should be made to have
this country develop self contain
ment in a very short time. This
would not be done for the purpose
OF injuring any other country, but
OF giving constant evidence of our
ability to take care of ourselves if
We are forced to do So"
