And Restaurants Urged

Cooks in restaurants and hotels in
Washington eventually will have to
have a license to work, according to
DR.. Reid r. Ashwortn, director OF
the Bureau Of Food Inspection OF
the District Health Department
The subject was brought up at a
meeting of restaurant managers at

sanitation for the restaurant men.
He asked them for their opinion and
many agreed that licenses would be
desirable.
In addition to the cooks, DR.. Ash

that BARRIERS, engineers, plumbers
and other tradesmen have to obtain
licenses before they can start work
ing and that 1t is more desirable

should do 50.

One hundred fifty-one persons
died by their own hands in sWash-

high in suicides, according to a
Coroner's Office report to the Com

The previous high was $50, during
depression year, Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald said. General
postwar unrest" was responsible
for the suicide rate, he added.
1 The 1916 suicide figure was nearly
3 per cent greater than the pre-

than 100 persons took their own
lives four years ago, the record
showed. but the number mounted

School Hour Changes
To Aid Transportation
Again Up for Study

The question of school hours for
junior and senior high school stu
dents will be opened again Tuesday
when the Commissioners meet with
traffic, school board and Capital
Transit Co. officials, it was learned
last night. .,
The argument over hours has
been In progress since last fall when
the Board Of Education decided te
put the junior and senior high
school students back on a 9 am. tc
8 pm. schedule. During the war
they had gone to school from s:3(
am. to $3.50 pm.
On one side is the school board
while on the other are the District
Traffic Advisory Board, the Traffic
Department and the Capital Transit
Co.
Traffic Director George E. KeneipI
said the question was reopenee
when the Commissioners sent him
resolution of protest from the
Petworth Citizens Association. Mr.
Keneipp said he recommended ir
favor of resuming staggered schoo
hours.
The Keneipp recommendation
and the citizens protest went tx
the District Traffic Advisory Boarc
which repeatedly adopted resolu.
ton petitioning the Commissioners
to hold meeting at which all thu
interested parties could state theil
cases.
Mr.. Keneipp said he opposed the
prewar hours because he feared i
would precipitate breakdown ir
the Governments staggered-hour'
system. He also cited dangers t.
school children getting on and of
buses and streetcars in the fact
of work hound traffic.
A Capital Transis Co. spokesman
reported an increase in passengel
complaints of overloaded vehicles a.
well as buses and streetcars passing
them by because they were full.

Medical Society Board
will Study Report on
Red Cross Blood Bank

Prospects for early establishment
of a Red Cross civilian blood bank
here appeared bright today as the
District Medical Society's executive
board prepared to study subcom-
mittee report favoring the proposal
in principle.
The Endorsement came yesterday
from the subcommittee of the Sec
ton on pathology and laboratory
medicine, to which the Red Cross
plan was referred.
DR.. Roger M. Choisser, subcom-
mittee chairman, announced the
group had recommended that the
medical society help the Red Cross
set up the blood donation center
provided it is worked in conjunc-
ton with the Medical Society Of
the District OF Columbia and the es-
tablished Community Blood Plasma
Bank"
Present Bank to Remain.
Medical Society spokesmen indi-
Gated the existing Community Blood
Plasma Bank, which is indorsed by
the society and directed by DR.
Choisser, would continue to operate
side-by-side with the proposed Rec
Cross center.
They said the society would prob.
ably form a committee to collabor.
ate with the Red Cross, If the pro.
posal receives official approval from
the executive board and the societ,
membership.
No comment was made yesterda,
by committee members to the mos
controversial item under discussion
the difference between the Rex
Cross plan, under which all dona.
tions would be free, and the Com
munity center, which charges fe'
for all blood except to. indigen
patients or those whose familie
or friends agree to repay doubl,

/ Nat C. Wilson, manager of tn
District Red Cross, has announce,

and administer a blood bank her,
at an expected annual cost Of $50,

Medical Society officials pointet
out yesterday that the propose

ent Community Blood Plasma Bank
there are provisions for. STORM,

When it comes to blasting for 8
sewer or tunnel, the District spares
no pains to protect itself, the con-
tractor and the neighbors against
damage suits.
Before the blasting begins, District
agents accompanied by photogra-
pliers, make the rounds Of the neigh
borhood taking interior and exterior
pictures of buildings. The idea is
to provide visual evidence on wheth-
er any wall cracks reported later
were there before the blasting OF
were caused by it.
The 3,000-foot storm sewer now
being constructed on p street at
Dupont Circle to drain the projected
Dupont Circle Underpass is no ex-
ception.
Yesterday a photographer and a
sewer department representative
were busy photographing 100 to $50
homes to keep the record straight
Some RefusaIs Met.
Legally the photographers have
no right to enter private property.
Sometimes permission is given read
lily and sometimes it is not. A re-
fusal brings the argument that the
photographs might prove good for
evidence that, claim should be
paid.
E. A. Press, assistant to the Dis
trict director of sanitary engineer
ing, estimated yesterday the pre-
blasting check might require several
months in the case of the Dupont
Underpass, especially since more
blasting may have. to be done wher
the actual underpass is started. Bee
rock lies about % feet below the
surface.
The Photographic technique fol
settling property owners damage
started in 1933-34, Mr.. Press ex.
planned, at the time the sewer de.
partment was tunneling through
rock near Fifth and : Ingrahan
streets NV. The blasting produced
a lot of cracks in the neighborhooc
that nobody had reported before.
Rock Greek Suits Recalled.
Mr.. Press said he believed mos
of the claims were filed in good faitf
and the home owners simply had no
noticed the cracks before the blast
ing made them think Of possible
damages to their property. Som,
of them obviously were DID,. he said
i In 1910, he recalled, several larg'
suits were filed against the JOSEPH
lombard Co., the contractor VIII,
built sewer along Rock Greek. Sew
eral houses at Twenty Second ant
IQ streets NV, had to be vacated
The contractors insurance compan.

lures came in handy as evidence, MI
Press said.

Spring, which has $185, 900 con

There are no -the-counter

has the opportunity to inspect
samples of goods available at vari-
GUS WAA depots through the United
