Each person over IA will be
asked about his employment. The
question is, what was the citizen
doing most of last week; if he did
any work at all; if he was looking
for work, or if he was taking
time off. from his job or business.
If working, how many hours did

In addition. there are the spe-

asked of about every fifth person,
as their name appears on the
Census schedule. There is no

Drilling Contest
Limited Due 10
.Low.Cadet Rolls
Only 5 White Schools
Have Large Enough
TotoI to Participate

The Washington High School
Cadet Corps will hold its annual
battalion drill competition on
Monday with only of the 10
white high schools able to muster
sufficient cadets to participate.
The drill will be held at 2::30
pm. in the Central High School
Stadium.
Entering the competition will be
Western, Woodrow Wilson. Roose-
welt and Anacostia High Schools.
Anacostia will enter two bat
talions.
Bell is the fifth school with
enough cadets to enter Mondays S
drill. However, Bell is not doing
so. Split schedules have prevent
ed the schools two companies
from drilling as a unit.
Enrolment Total Unchanged.
1t. Col. William E. Barkman,
head of the military science and
tactics department, said the total
cadet enrolment in the white
high schools this year was 644.
"The overall picture is not
greatly different from last year."
Col. Barkman stated.
In spite of intensive recruiting
drives and increased emphasis on
the cadets, the high schools have
been able only to equal last years
enrollments. In the days before
World War II, the total cadet
enrolment was we'll over the 1000
mark.
Rules require that a school must
have at. least two companies in
order to enter the battalion COM
petition.
Lists Units Strength.
Col. Barkman said the cadet
strength at the high schools was
as follows:
Central. 20 cadets; Mckinley
35; Eastern, SO; Western, "a;
Roosevelt, 95; Wilson, 66; Ana
costa, 1911; Coolidge, 81; Bell Vo-
cational High School, IS, and
Chamberlain Vocational High
School, 33.
The military science depart
ment head said low enrollments
were due to declining student
bodies at the white high schools
giving fewer boys from which the
cadets may draw and declining
interest in the cadets since the
end of the war.

In the trial of her friend. Ralph

shade salesman, charged with
fatal abortion, she was subjected
to a long cross-examination for
her second straight day on the
stand.
It was in Miss Childs' apart
ment at 1921 Fairmont street NV,

the afternoon of January S. The

James j. Laughlin. Myers
lawyer, took Miss Childs over the
Is hours from the moment just
before II pm. January when she
entered her apartment, found the
young woman, whom she had met
there three hours before, dead
and attempted to give her
artificial respiration.
Miss Childs said she went to
Children's Hospital, where she
was superintendent of nursing
education at theotime. and asked
nurse if she could spend the
night with her.
At this point Mr.. Laughlin asked
her if the hospital had not sus-
pended her. She answered vest
but added that on January 20 she
had left voluntarily to care for
her i'll father in Virginia.
The nurse she stayed with was
Miss Louise Royer, she said. Mr..
Laughlin asked if she had told
Miss Royer about the body in her
room, and she said no.
Went to Work Next Day.
She reported for work at the
regular time the next day. She
said her superintendent got a
telephone call from Myers who
said Miss Childs was dead in her
apartment. The superintendent
called Miss Childs to the tele-
phone. Miss Childs testified that
Myers told her he thought she
was the one who was dead.
Myers suggested to her, she said,
that she should tell police that
she had allowed a young woman
she had met at New Years party
to use her apartment and that
was all she knew. Miss ChiIds tesL
titled that she reminded Myers
about the many telephone calls
which would be investigated and
refused to follow his advise.
She finally did call the police,
she said. She did not tell them
about the body. she said, but she
did arrange to meet at the apart
ment after she got off work at
$3.50 pm. She was standing in
front of the apartment house
when two automobiles of police
arrived. They went upstairs, she
said. A few minutes later, she
said, policeman came down and
asked if she were the occupant of
the apartment and asked her to
accompany him upstairs.
What did you find?" she said
she asked the policeman.
Wait till you see," he said. ac-
cording to her account.
She said that when she went in
the door, she saw the body on the
floor in pool of blood and COL
lapsed.
On cross-examination yesterday
Mr.. Laughlin brought out admis-
sions that the nurses relations
with Myers had been intimate for
some time, and that she hoped to
marry him.
