Washington ice cream lovers will
get a chance to tell the District
Commissioners whether they want
to continue buying their favorite
favors in pints and quarts or to
change to purchase by weight.
The Commissioners yesterday
scheduled a public hearing on the
issue at 10 am. on January 81 in
the board room Of the District
Building.
Last July a special committee of
city officials headed by Superin-

Weights, Measures and Markets
recommended sales by weight de-
spite the strong objections of both
wholesale and retail ice cream deal

The committee contended that
because ice cream is mass ma

Dairy Price Hearings
Are Not Expected 10
Affect D. T.. Situation

The Agriculture Department hear
ing opening here Thursday on Gov
ernment proposals to change milk
prices in some Northeastern areas in
January, will have no effect on
Washington milk prices, both Gov
ernment and dairy industry sources
agreed last night.
The department called the hear
ing primarily to gather evidence on
reports of surpluses in some classes
of fluid milk in the New York region.
There was said to be no surplus
of milk in the washington milkshed
and accordingly the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
has no plans to participate in the
hearing.
1t is considered possible, however,
that the hearing may produce some
industry reaction to provisions in
milk marketing agreements which
tie the price of milk to the f1uctua-
tions of wholesale butter prices tn
New York.
Maryland and Virginia producers
have opposed since September any
move to increase milk prices here as
a result of the butter tie-in clause In
the milk agreement for this area.
Bruce B. Derrick, manager of the
association, has pointed out thai
producers want nothing to do witt
any formula which involves com
modify which he says can be easil.
manipulated by traders. The butte
tie-in provision was made part o
the last marketing agreement TO
the Washington milk-shed, but thu
far has caused producers only
great deal of worry.
Behind the producers objections
is fear that if milk prices her
go any higher demand will fall.
Local dairymen agree on thi!
point. An official of one large dairy
points out that distributors do moi
feel milk prices here should be sub
ject to the whims of the New York
butter market.
Commenting on current milk
prices here, this official declared
1.-The price is high enough now. We
hope the next change will be down.

Following the completion of the
hearings, the Board will begin the

which, members said, has been
difficult because of the legislation

form the charter should take to
attend the public hearings. The

hearings being intended solely for
the purpose of receiving the views
of the voters.

Of a monster, h e workman be-
came frightened, wondering if he
had over-stepped the bounds Of
mystery that shrouds life and
death. He stepped closer to see if
life was really there.
No mistake. The heart was beat
ing again, reluctantly and slug
gishly as though resenting mans
determination to force it to live.
So the mortal workman carried
the clock back to the court room
and nailed it to the wall, confident
it was good as new.
How mistaken he was. Just four
days later the brass pendulum
shortened its arc of swing, slowed,
and then stopped.

CATERERS should be grateful for its
many years of service and let it
travel on to clock heaven where
clocks tell time by looking at hui
man hands.
To the old court room clock,
time has been grating on its
nerves since it first heard a judge
pass sentence On a criminal. Ten
to twenty years. said the judge
as attorneys closed their briefs
and news reporters took notes.
But the clock measures the 10
years, not in weeks or months. 1t
measures years in ticks and knows
that 10 years mean IS million
"tick-tocks." And when it hears
the judge say, sentenced to the
state prison for life, its h e a t
breaks ana its face wants to cry.
No matter how sadly the clock
feel, it has no outlet for its feel
ings. The court audience may
smile, laugh Or cry. And prison
ers may sob their words of in
nocence. They find relief in tears.
However, the clock endures
tragedy passing before its eyes in
silence. It's emotions r conceal
ed as it s~toically measures time
and hears of crime.
The court may order the clock
to be repaired again and bring il
back to erve once more, but JUS
tice demands it be laid away ii
rest.
The court room clock has served
the people well. Now may it res1
in peace-but not pieces, Selah!

Twice they tried to patch up the
old courtroom clock, and twice it
WINGED its face and licked to a
stop.
A clock can stand just so much,
and then it washes its hands of
the whole business and quits.
When 1t must sit perched on a
courtroom wall and listen to
prisoners iaments hour after hour.
day after day, year after year, a
nervous breakdown is inevitable.
That's what happened last week.
Lawyers. jurors, prisoner and
ever the judge see only small
portions of court tragedies. Law
yers change, different jurors are
picked, a prisoner is tried and
leaves, and judges are moved
from district to district.
But he old clock sees and hears
it all. And then those lonely nights
for reflection on mankind. 1t gets
no vacation. It life is Superior
court, with no respite.
The teller of time decided TO call
it quits a week ago Monday. The
clerks were shocked. Before they
regarded court life as transient
with all things changing, but the
clock, they thought, remained.
And now their pillar of stability
had given up the ghost. What else
would follow? Would the. walls
come tumbling down Would the
floors sag and give away?
Under order, a court house
workman climbed a ladder to the
round-faced corpse" and lifted it
tenderly from its base. Four days
he labored to revive the spark of
life. The form was laid face down,
and he prepared to operate. After
removing screws and bolts, a
small incision was made in the
back. Inside he inserted his hand
and carefully probed the inner
walls.
On the fourth day, he thought
he had achieved the miraculous.
