The average daily ration for Ber-
liners in the three Western sectors
now is 1.730 calories a day. The
average ration for an American in
the United States totals about 5000

At the same time, the three West

JeweIry Store Looted
After Owner Warns
Police Of Faulty Alarm
Hackers Vigilance Leads
To Speedy Arrest of z,
Recovery of Some Items

Burglars looted a clothing and
jeWelry store last night despite
the fact that police had been
notified the burglar alarm was
not working and had been asked
to keep an eye on the place.
Police made a quick recovery,
however Before Nathan F. Wolfe.
proprietor of the clothing and
jeWelrv store at 800 Bladensburg
road NE, had catalogued his losses,
police had arrested two men they
said were the burglars and had re-
covered at least part of the loot.
The arrests were made because of
the alertness of a cab driver.
Watch Found in Taxi.
John w. Ortenzo, 26. of 4548
Overlook avenue S. W., told police
that shortly before 3 am. he was
hailed at Fifteenth and H streets
NE, by two colored men who
wanted to be taken to an address
near Oxon Hill, Md.
Mr.. Ortenzo reported the men
were carrying a large carton. When
they got out of the cab, he reported,
one of the top flaps was up and he
saw watches in the carton. Mr..
Ortenzo then drove to police head
quarters to notify detectives and as
he got out of his car to enter the
building, he found on the car floor
watch which still had a price tag
on it.
Detectives drove to the address
Mr. Ortenzo had given them and
arrested the two men. They said
they recovered several watches, two
dozen shirts and a pair of trousers.
Back Door Forced.
Meanwhile, No. 9 precinct was
notified of Mr.. Ortenzo's report and
checked stores in the area. They
found that Mr.. Wolfe's store had
been entered by forcing the back
door.
This morning Mr.. Wolfe estimated
the value of the articles taken at
around $1,000. He said the loot in
cluded about Is watches, some boxes
of shirts, more than a dozen and a
half pairs of trousers and five jack
cts.
When he was closing up last night,
he said, he noticed the burglar
alarm was not working and he con-
sidered spending the night at the
store. His wife, however, telephoned
police. told them of the broken
alarm and asked them to keep an
eye on the store overnight, he said.
Police Watched Place.
Police told her, Mr. Wolfe said
that scout cars and the patrolman
on the beat would be instructed to
keep a lookout. So Mr.. Wolfe left
lights on, locked up and went to his
home at 2l05 M street NE, he said.
Capt. Irwin H. limbaugh of No. 9
precinct said the precinct received
notice on the burglar alarm, and
that police in the area had watched
the store.
I'VE would do that anyway" he
said, but knowing the burglar alarm
was out of order they gave it more
attention than they would have Or
dinarily. But understand we didn't
have man there all ni~1t. We
didn't put a plant on the place"

Loud Horn-BIower
Fined $40, Lectured
By Judge Nelson
Young Instruets Police
To Crack Down on
Unnecessary Noise

Judge George D. Nelson today
served notice in Traffic Court
that he is in complete accord
with police efforts to cure need
less horn-blQwing by District
motorists.
He fined man $40 for blowing
"a series of loud. long blasts" on
his car horn in the 1000 block OF
Seventeenth street NV. yesterday.
At the same time, Commissioner
John Russell Young instructed
Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett to see
that his men enforce the city's ordi-
nance against unnecessary footing
The law is explicit, Commissioner
Young said, and the police will ar
rest and prosecute all violators.
There is absolutely no sense to
the practice of blowing the horn of
an automobile every time another
car or pedestrians cause a .momen-
tary delay" Mr.. Young declared.

fine went lecture to the motorist,

sound signal other than for a rea-
sonable warning of danger"

and plays an important part in the
general accident picture the judge
declared.
Mr.. Watson made the mistake of
honking his horn at a private car
driven by Policeman G. 3. Colbert,
who was off duty from his assign
ment at the 1lth precinct. Pvt.
Colbert told the court that Mr..
Watson not only ''impatiently"
sounded his horn, but lightly
bumped into the rear of his car
several times during brief traffic
tieup.
The defendant asserted he merely
sought to pass the other car and
denied he made any unnecessary
noise.

Meanwhile, two leading automo-
bile clubs Joined the fray on the

gave way was 200 by so feet. Eye
witnesses said it tumbled in without
warning as though it had been "hit

on the job escaped injury.
