Wartime Hour Rule
For Liquor Stores
Is Made Permanent

The District Commissioners today
carried over in to peacetime the
wartime hours governing liquor
stores.
The stores thus are authorized to
continue to remain open from 10
am. to pm. five days a week and
from 10 am. to midnight Saturdays.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West was directed to make per-
manent the hours that were a war
time regulation of the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board.
The action is in line with a
recommendation of the ABC Board
and the expressed wish of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
and many liquor dealers. 1t reversed
the decision taken by the city heads
last Tuesday and ordered held in
allegiance last Friday. This would
have authorized the stores to remain
open from 8 am. to midnight six

The two beer truck helpers who
last Saturday gave % cases Of some

Several Of the clergymen raised
the question of faith as entering into
the problem.
"Dr. Rutland is in sort Of spot
by setting forth a scientific view as
he sees it against the feeling of faith
on the same subject as others view
it," one of them said.
DR.. Sinclair Bowen of Washington,
an Episcopal layman physician who
was present at the gathering, in q
short talk agreed heartily with
DR.. Ruhland." He said he has not
personally used the. common COM
munion cup for more than 15-years
and cited several authorities whose
research indicated saliva borne in
fections we're passed on through
drinking utensils.
In an interview recently, the
Right Rev. Angus Dun, Bishop Of
Washington, said the question OF
giving communion from a common
drinking cup or by ''intinction" was
one decided by individual clergymen
in the Washington Diocese. Either
practice is acceptable here, Bishop
Dun explained.

DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health officer. suggested to a meet
ing of Episcopal clergymen yester-
day that the practice of drinking
from a common communion cup be
abandoned and instead procedure
of dipping the wafer into the wine
known as "intinction," be followed
The recommendation, made on
the basis of sanitary studies con-
cerning the passing of saliva-borne
infections, was given during a talk
by DR.. Ruhland to the Washington
Clericus of the Episcopal church
The Rev. A. A. Birch, vicar of st.
Georges Chapel and president OF
the Glorious, presided.
Prefacing his recommendation by
tracing how plaques and other dis
ease outbreaks had been traced
to improper sanitary conditions
through the ages, DR.. Rutland said
the Catholic church in the 14th
century abandoned the common
communion cup. He said this action
had been motivated by the plague
and the feeling that the common
cup might be an agent passing on
the disease.
The District health officer point
ed out that during World War
I, many lives were lost through
the spread of saliva-borne infec-
tion." The application of the knowl-
edge gained from this experience
enabled doctors in World War II to
reduce saliva borne infections to a
very low percentage.
Health authorities in the District
for many years have campaigned
against saliva borne infections, DR..
Ruhland explained. He said studies
showed such diseases as septic sore
throat and trench mouth were
among those transmitted from
saliva.

Rent Reduction
May Be Ordered
For Barracks

John Ihlder, executive officer Of

thority, said today reduction may
be ordered in rents for certain con-
verted barrack dwellings being man.
aged for the District by NCHA.
Completion of a rent study start =
ed two weeks ago is expected within
few days, Mr.. Ihlder said, and
action will hinge on the findings.
The NCHA officials said protests
over rents had been received from
veterans occupying some of the
dwellings in five projects built for
the city by the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority. Veterans said heat
ing costs made rents excessive, Mr..
Ihlder explained Occupants pro-
vide their own heat with kerosene
stoves.
Meanwhile, is was announced that
a group of veterans would visit
Capitol Hill Saturday to seek an ap-
preparation to add physical i'm
provements to the dwellings.
Heating Costs Higher.
Mr. Ihlder pointed out that rents
were set by NCHA in line with Q
requirements that they be compar-
able to similar dwellings.
1t was found later, he said, that
heating costs were greater than for
similar houses, and for this reason
the rent study was ordered.
In some cases, veterans were per-
mitted to move in before all equip
ment, such as hard-to-get water
heaters, was available, he said.
Difficulties in obtaining fire exiting
uishers also are being met with, he
added.
Rents for apartments in converted
barracks are $40 for one-bedroom
|units. $42 for two-bedroom units and
$44 for three bedroom units.
Edwin w. Luther, executive secre-
tary of the Combined Veterans
Committee for Housing, said today
he was arranging the meeting with
a few members of Congress after
investigating living conditions in
the Blue Plains and Fort Dupont
emergency housing projects.
APPROPRIATION Sought.
Purpose of the visit, Mr.. Luther
explained, is to give the veterans Q
chance to explain the conditions
under which they are now living
with view to getting an appropria-
ton for the Federal Public Housing
Authority.
The veterans, Mr.. Luther said,
had appealed through him to
NCHA only to be told that that
agency merely rents the projects
and cannot add physical improve
ments.
Approximately 800 veterans, Mr..
Luther said he was told, occupy the
emergency housing-converted Army
barracks-at Blue Plains. They pay
$40 rent, he added, another $40 q
month for kerosene heating and an
other IS for light. Across the street,
he said, tenants IN permanent low
cost housing are paying $3.50 .
month with all utilities provided.
Furniture Ruined.
At a meeting of the Combined
Veterans Committee last night In
the willard Hotel, the Blue Plains
tenants said the nearest fire plug to
the development was three blocks
away and there wasn't a telephone
in the entire project.
One veteran told Of investing all
his savings in furniture for his
apartment. Smoke and oil from the
heaters, he said, had ruined it.
Other veterans complained the
only fire extinguisher they had To-
Gated was empty, that there was no
weather stripping on doors or win
dows and that the units had no hot
water heaters.

Halle. 4, was continuing her musical
education. .
Awed by the hustle, she remained
close to her mother. Open -mouthed,
she regarded a violinist bowling few
practice bars. She peered into the
cavernous case of the contra-bass.
Finally, she was pursuaded to ap-
proach 'cellist for a look at her
instrument.
Connie didn't say anything, but
| she obviously was trying to under
stand what all these people were do
ing. Her mother, Mrs. G. A. Halle,

Connie had been entered in chill

Mrs. Halle had brought her to the

sorship of The Star.

Horse And Buggy Days
BY IDA 10 MARTIN

The Valley of the Antietam, as
this great valley embracing Wash
ington County was originally called,
saw its first regularly organized
army one day in the early Spring of
1855.
This was at the time when the
British and French were contending
for the ownership of our fair land.
The coastal colonies, all east of the
forbidding Appalachian Mountains
and their lurking, silent menace, the
Indian, comprised the holdings of
the British; the whole country was
of course claimed. But up from the
gulf, throughout the great Missis-
sippi and Ohio Valleys, had surged
the French; and the French seemed
to understand the Indian better than
the British.
So now the British, in alarm and
haste, pushed advances across the
mountains and the French in return
threw up a line of forts, attempting
to safeguard their claims to the
whole midwest, from Hudson Lake
to the Gulf AS soon as the colonists
heard of the construction of Fort
Duuuesne at the head of the Ohio,
now Pittsburgh, the governor of Vir-
ginia sent the then young George
Washington over the mountains to
the new fort with a "remonstrance."
Washington did extensive travelling
and surveying throughout the noun
famous sections and was very we'll
acquainted with the many hardships
encountered on such a trip, inClud
ing both the terrain and the treach-
cry and skill of the Indians.
The British, viewing the situation
from across the Atlantic, decided to
put an "effectual end to French pre-
tentions." They sent over an army
of crack troops; ''crack" at doing
the manual of arms, and at present
ing enthusiastically perfect display
of drilling in parades in Britain's
Regent Park.
At the command of this "disci-
pinned army was the brave, but
supercilious, General Braddock He
had no knowledge of the Indian,
considering them as some minor
nuisance that would flee posthaste
at the mere appearance of an order
ly army; and those who attempted
to tell him of the Indian, he held in
utter contempt. Benjamin Frank
lin said: "He smiled at my ignor-
ance." when Franklin referred to
the Indian as an enemy. Braddock
expected, as he related to Franklin,
to march quickly to Fort Duquesne,
take it, and thence to Niagara and
Frontenac, winning glorious victor
les for Britain.
A little more of Braddock'S dis
position was revealed when he was
detained at Frederic for want of
wagons to convey the excessive bag
gage of his young officers. He de
manded $50 wagons and $500 horses,
and when they were not produced
as though by magic, he became very
angry. Williams says he "roared
like lion at this detention and

Gently been invented They are
known as the intoximeter and the

Walter letter, of Harvard Univers-
ity, the evidence is admissible in
most courts. Dr. letter explains
that if a persons blood shows .05
percent to is percent alcohol, his
intoxication may be questionable.
Above is percent, he's drunk.

have to be cut through the dense
underground of the woods; the I'M
suspecting army stretched out for
miles along this path would be a
perfect "setup" for the Indians.
Franklin tried to warn General
Braddock, but was only laughed at.
Into the woods went the brave
general and his men. Not an Indian
was seen, nor heard, until the army
was stretched to its fullest length.
Then suddenly, silently, men fell
with arrows in their bosoms; men
fell everywhere, and still no enemy
was seen; panic reigned, but briefly,
for panic plays only in the minds of
men who are alive.
