Youth Aid Rolls
Show New Rise

The number Of children re-
ceiving services from the D. C.
Welfare Department continued
to increase this summer, while
the number of local cases sent
to the National Training School
for Boys decreased.
Accumulation of cases, plus
additional facilities, were chiefly
responsible for the increase,
Gerard M. Shea, welfare direc-
tor. said. The report showed a
total of 1878 children were re-
ceiving welfare aid by the end
Of August, 705 more than in
July, 1854.
Protective services" for chill
dren-to prevent delinquency
accounts for some of the in
crease, Mr.. Shea said. More
children have also been sent to
the new, larger Children's Gen.
ter at Laurel, Md, he pointed
out.
There are more children tt
keep a tab on after they leave
the center, averaging about Ito
cases per worker, Mr.. Shea said,
This is more than double the
ideal caseload." he noted.
we are getting more children
who ordinarily would go to the
National Training School," Mr..
Shea added. In the past chill
dren is years or older, and
where delinquency was quite
aggravated" were sent to the
Federal school,.
The daily average of District
boys at the school was 1872 last
August, compared with 209 in
August, 1855.
Mr.. Shea said the expansion
at Children's Center made this
possible. The center docs not
have the stigma that a Federal
Bureau Of Prisons institution
has," Mr.. Shea said.

Asks for Ruling
Police to Spur Drive
Against JoywoIking

Trafic policemen. who have
been strict with jaywalkers since
last April. are going to get even
tougher.
Following review Of a seven
month trial period Of selective
traffic enforcement. Deputy
Chief John ]. Agnew ordered his
men yesterday to step up pedes-
TRAN control.
Inspector Agnew said the
campaign has made definite in
roads into the city's pedestrian
auto accident rate in the past
three months. However. he add
ed. the overall total 50 far for
1885 shows an increase Of GIL
accidents over the 1855 total for
the same period.
Greatest improvement. Inspec-
tor Agnew pointed out. is in the
pedestrian fatality rate. The
death toll this year has dropped
90 per cent IN the months Of
July. August and September Of
this year.

Americas architectural and his

Mr.. Finley said that "histori-

sense of the continuity of our
history" and to produce a sig
Inificant impression upon the reg.
of the world.
Mr.. Finley said the current
budget is S51 1892. The trust. in

HISTORIANS differ on why
the attack on the fort wasn't
launched'a day earlier, before
soldiers came gallop-a-tro up
from the Seventh street wharf
to reinforce 1t.
There seems to be agree
ment that Early's warriors
were too pushed to have
fought at the fort the day
they reached it. But some
sources say this was because
1t was a hot day and they
were keeling over from march,
ing so far so fast. Other re-
searcherS maintain the ex-
hauStion was complicated by
massive hangovers, induced
by the potables they liberated
in Silver Spring on their push
toward the Capital.
Skirmishers conducted a
brisk trade of iron. Souvenir
hunters can still find MIME
balls in Rock Creek Park
where infantrymen blasted
away at each other.
Well, some souvenir hunters
can find them. This one hasn't
been able to locate any.
The fort is destitute of can
non now. Its caretakers hope
to get some guns mounted
one of these days, to add more
life to the show.

Tor injections IN the human, are
being used by researchers to pre-
vent decay and infection in the
food humans consume.
DR.. C. l.. Wrenshall, associate
director of technical service Of
the Charles Pfizer g. Co., told the
fourth annual symposium on
antibiotics at the Willard Hotel
that losses in fruits and vege-
tables "alone run over ST billion
a year" despite modern refriger-
alton.
Bacteria Spells Food
mot all food spoilage is
caused by bacteria" he declared
"but a major proportion of it
is, and can be controlled easily
by antibiotics.
With the recent introduction
of broad spectrum antibiotics
which attack many types OF
bacteria, it has been discovered
that they may be used to keep
food fresh many times longer
than refrigeration alone.
Fish may be dipped OF
sprayed with antibiotic solu-
tions. stored in refrigerated
brine containing the antibiotic
or iced with antibiotic ice," DR.
Wrenshall said.
Various cuts of meat or fish
f1lletS may be dipped or sprayed
with these antimicrobial solu-
tons. The solutions may be
injected into the animals before
slaughtering or afterwards.

Ia group of Canadian researchers

Fresh Whale Meat
The Canadian Fisheries Re-
search Board has been studying
ways of keeping whale meat
fresh from the time of catch
through its processing. At pres
,ent, much of the meat is lost
before the big mammals can be
cut up and stored. They are ex-
iperimenting with antibiotics.
DR.. F. E. Deatherage of Ohio
State University, also studying
the use of aureomycin for meat
preservation, declared that the
warm blooded whale is so huge
the chilling rate is slow and
much good meat is lost before
it can be gotten to. IF antibi-
otics could be gotten into the
carcass soon enough. then it is
quite possible that spoilage OF
whale meat could be materially
reduced and the whale meat it.

ON THE SUBJECT of cam
non, Henry Schneider became
concerned the other day over
a piece here about the Civil
War guns and ammunition in
the basement of Ford's Thea
ter.
Mr.. Schneider works in the
information section of the In
ternal Revenue Service. Con-
sequently, he is close to human
suffering and does not wish it
to increase.
An authority on ordnance,
he helped collect thousands
of Civil War weapons for
Uncle Sam. A lot of it was
loaded. He feared the stuff
under Ford's might still be
armed.
But two demolition experts
accompanied him there and
determined that the cannon
balls already had their teeth
pulled. Ford's is not likely
to depart Skyward.
Mr.. Schneider was telling
how he once attended the de-
struction of a batch of old
ammo at a Virginia battle
field. The explosion went as
planned except for one minor
detail. The boom blew the
chimney of a farmers house.
The experts are apprehen-
sive over the amount of live
ammunition that turns I'D
from time to time around bat
tlef1elds. One recalled how
he was in the Smithsonian
Institution one day and was
Mortified to see a torpedo,
nicely mounted for display on
wooden blocks, and chockful
Of powder, all set to go.
Mr.. Schneider also remem-
bers the case of a cannon ball
fished out Of the Potomac
River.
He said it was cut in half
and emptied of powder by
technicians who then sent
the pieces to a colonel in the
Pentagon. The colonel was
supposed to test whether the
charge retained its vitality
after all the submerged years.
He noticed what seemed to
be a lacquer coating inside the
pieces. He pried out a piece
Of this coating, tapped it on
his desk and 1t cost him three
fingers TO learn the lacquer"
was powder which had
hardened.

legality of permitting integrated
audiences at these meetings was
challenged by the pro-segrega-
ton Defenders organization.
Debates by the two county
board candidates are being held

cause of this, Mr.. Almond said

At the first meeting members
Of the Defenders picketed be-
cause the local chapter of the

A few Negroes attended the
last two sessions, which were
not picketed. The next can
Ididates' meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday night at the Glen

grams to appropriate State and
county officials. In response the
