District Heads Urged
To Act 10 Cover Costs
Of Legion Convention

The District Commissioners
today were urged to act speedily
to get supplemental appropria-
tions totaling at least $37,375 to
help pay for the municipal ex-
penSe of having the American
Legion convention here in Au-
gust.
Highway Director John N.
Robertson estimated his depart
mental costs at $1,000 to take
care of such things as removing
streetcar platforms for the Le-
gion parade, roping off certain
street areas and installing neces-
sary signs and flags. +.
Mr.. Robertson said the sani-
tary engineering department will
require about $4,000 for extra
cleanup details, installing side
walk cables to restrain the
crowds during the parade, and
making temporary public COM
fort station installations.
The traffic department will
need only $75 for mapping out
parade routes and such.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said he will ask the Metropolitan
Police Department and the Fire
Department to expedite their es-
Inmates on additional costs,
which probably will involve only
overtime pay. Urgency is the
order since Congress has indi-
Gated it will act speedily on the
fiscal 1855 appropriations bill

Code on PLUMBING
Revised to Allow
Use of More Wood

The District plumbing code
was amended today after expert
testimony that bugs are as happy
on metal as on wood.
Hereafter, kitchen sinks and
similar fixtures may be inclosed
in wood alone.
Formerly, builders were pro-
hibited from inclosing a sink or
bathroom lavatory or the like,
solely in wood. The fixture first
had to be based on enameled
metal.
The metal provision was put
in the code back when kitchens
had a lot of wood wainscoting.
Metal was believed capable of
discouraging reaches and other
vermine around the fixtures.
But the Commissioners sur
veyed bug exterminators. who re-
ported pests promenade over
metal as enthusiastically as on
wood. So today the Commis-
sioners killed the codes metal

District Businessmen
|ntercede on Behalf
OF Fair Trade Bill

Several prominent representa-
tives Of District business inter-
ceded with the commissioners
today on behalf of a fair trade
bill for the District.
The city heads opposed the
proposed legislation earlier this
week before the Business and
Commerce subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee.
1t was pointed out that the
District and only three States of
the 48 lack such laws.
The measure introduced by
Senator Beall, Republican. of
Maryland, would permit manu-
facturers of trade-marked prod
ucts which are in competition to
make contracts fixing minimum
prices for resale of their goods.
Claim Imitation Held Back.
Fair trade practices in other
cities have held back imitation,
the commissioners were told to-
day.
Arthur j. Sundlun, jeweler,
complained of a Jungle" war 60
ing on here in the jewelry buSi-
ness. He said that some mer-
chants were advertising trade
name watches 25 per cent off,
marking up articles well above
regular prices and then marking
them down.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said he had received letters from
consumers saying fair trade
legislation would mean higher
prices, and questioned action to
help businessmen against con-
SumerS.

A week for the rabbit to be king

WINTER WEATHER DEADLY
"Don't Be the Dead of Winter.
Safety Council Managers Warns

Don't be the dead of winterm j.
James Ashton, Manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, warned
motorists this week.
Winter weather can be deadly
to the unwary-Mr. Ashton point
ed out to Delaware drivers.
I'm winter, streets and highways
often are wet or covered with snow
and ice," he said, "and car control
is difficult"
Also, visibility-or lack of it
can be a dangerous, even fatal
problem, Mr.. Ashton pointed out.
''In nearly one out of five fatal
accidents last year, the road con-
dition was wet, muddy, snowy or
icy" he said. "And in one out of
eight fatal accidents, the drivers
vision was obscured."
About two-fifths of these OBJ
structions to vision were reported
as rain, snow or sleet on the wind
shield, Mr.. Ashton explained.
"You have to see danger to
avoid it," he said, "and you have
to have your car under control at
all times if you are to stop in time
to prevent an accident"
Mr.. Ashton listed six basic rules
for winter driving to help counter
act these dangers. The rules are:
1. Accept your responsibility.
Always be prepared to meet the
hazards of winter driving. You
can't expect the weatherman to
take the blame for your accidents,
2. Get the 'feel' of the road
When you are driving slowly, away
from traffic, try brakes occasion
ally to find out just how slick the
road is. And above all, drive slow
| ly, adjusting your speed to road
and weather conditions.
8. Keep the windshield clear
Steam, snow, ice and sleet may
cloud car windows and wind
shields. Be sure windshield wipers
and defrosters are in top working
condition.
4. Use tire chains when there is
ice or snow on the roads. Rein
forced chains will cut stopping dis
tances about half.
5. Pump your brakes rapidly to
slow down or stop. Jamming on
the brakes when roads are slip
lppery can throw you into dang
erous skid.
6. Follow at a safe distance.
Keep well back of the vehicle
ahead so that you will have plenty
of room to stop in an emergency.
Remember that even with tire
chains 1t takes more than twice
the distance to stop on snow and
ice as it does to stop on dry con-
crete without chains.
