DistrictWeighs Rise
In Certificate Fees
6O-Yeur Charge
Of so Cents Fails
To Cover Costs

The District is considering
raising its 50-cent fee for
copies of birth and death GER
tificates.
Pietro j. Giancoli, chief Of
the Health Departments Vital
Statistics Section, said today
the 50-cent fee, which has been
charged since 1897, does not
cover the Districts costs in
issuing the certificates.
He said his Office has urged
changing the fee to 81. Forty
States already charge 81, and
four other States even more, he
said.
Legislation Required
Legislation will be required
for any fee change. since the
present fee is prescribed by
law.
The certificate issuance is a
major cost item, Mr.. Giancoli
said, since more than 10000
copies are issued annually. The
total in fiscal 1856 was 1870.
Government agencies can get
the certificates free. and so can
veterans needing them for proc
eSsing claims with the Veterans
Administration. In 1856 only
,283 were issued free.
A Health Department official
said the proposed fee increase
will depend on a recent cost
study.
Other Fee Increases
The District Commissioners
have approved new fees for sew
eral other types of certificates
issued by the vital statistics
Office.
These include a 81 charge for
filing DEGREES of adoption and
a charge of 81 to IS for Great.
ing a birth record for persons
whose births have not pre-
viously been recorded, with the
amount depending on age.
Several months ago the city
had approved a new 50-cent
charge for searching for birth
and death records, even when
the search proves fruitless.

Thieves Get
$4,000 in
Platinum

Platinum valued at approx
mately $4,000 was reported
stolen today from a third floor
research laboratory safe at the
United States Bureau of Mines
at the University of Maryland,
College Park.
Thieves forced open the safe
during the night.
The platinum was in chunks
and would have to have been
carried away in a bag, suitcase
or sack. according to Paul Am
brose. mines station superin-
tendent. The Federal Bureau
of Investigation and Depart
ment of Interior police were in
vestigating.
Still unknown was how
thieves entered the building.
Mr.. Ambrose said the theft
was discovered about 8 am. by
an employe. The laboratory
closed at AIS pm.
The platinum is used for test
ing and experimental work.
Mr.. Ambrose said there are
other quantities of platinum
on the campus and that if more
is needed it can be borrowed
from other Bureau of Mines
Offices.
He said other minerals and
metals were left behind by the
looters. The others are not as
valuable.
Mr.. Ambrose said the stolen
platinum was accumulated over
several years and the type that
can be purchased from any
chemical supply house. The
safe was on the top floor of one
of nine buildings that comprise
the Bureau of Mines station at
College Park. The station en-
ploys about $50 persons.

THE WAVES were coming
toward him with a regular
ity of space between and
height that he had never
seen on the ocean shore.
But the breaking sound was
the same because there was
some irregularity about the
back flow that would cause
every fifth wave or so to
tumble and go thump!
We walked over to a sand
beach on one side of a little
pond. Machines on the other
side were ding waves
merely three inches high
against it at an angle. There
was a jetty sticking out a
few feet from the middle of
the beach and, sure enough,
the beach was expanding on
one side of the jetty, reced-
ing on the other.
The Beach Erosion Board.
we learned, was created in
1880 by an act of Congress
that said whereas beaches
are one of our valuable
natural resources, something
should be done about it.
The board was set UP in
the Army Corps of Engineers
with both military and civil
ian members. Maj. Gen.
Charles G. HOLE is president.
Since its creation, the
board has been of service in
studies that helped save the
longest Seawall in the world,
"a miles in the Gulf Of Mex
leo from Biloxi, Miss, to Pass

at Palm Beach and Virginia
Beach and Stanta Barbara,

We also learned that the
oceans are steadily wearing

ing littoral material out into
the depths where it sinks,
but It's going to take long,

Rambler

Near District Line
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

BY GEORGE KENNEDY
Break, break, break
On thy cold gray stones,
oh seal
And ! tDould that my tongue
could utter
The thoughts that arise
in me.
Until yesterday, the Ram
bier thought it was more
than a 10O-mile drive across
the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
to enjoy the sound of the
surf.
Now he knows it is only a
matter of going out Mac
Arthur boulevard to the
Beach Erosion Boards prop
erty just over the District
line.
There big waves break and
break and break with the
rhythm that Melville de-
scribed as "the Indicating
heart of earth
And it's all done in a
trough 635 feet long, % feet
deep and Is feet wide. Pow
erful machinery sends the
waves along this enlarge
ment and improvement of
the waterways of the tun-
nels of love in amusement
parks.
A 510-horsepower electric
motor turns a huge wheel.
The wheel pushes a piston
anchored in any one of sew
eral eccentric holes in the
wheel. The farther from the
center, the bigger the push
and the bigger the resulting
waves. At the end of the
piston is a bulkhead which
just fits the 23-by-15-foot
dimension of the trough.

rived in the rain of yesterday
noon, the piston was operat-
ing from one of the inner
holes of the wheel, which
gave the, bulkhead a short
push. 1t was sending waves
312 feet high.
AS they rolled along the
635-foot length of the trough,
their crests would rise to Az
feet. Then, tripped by a slop-
ing rise in the floor-just like
a beach-they would break,
break, break.

much should the present

what construction will best
withstand the waves under

of levee will cost several mil
lion dollars, this study has

Break, break, break! The
Rambler rested his head on
the side of the trough,
watched and listened.
1t was fresh water but the
Rambler would have sworn
he smelled the salt of the
sea. He wouldn't have been
surprised by feeling a crab
underfoot.

Perpetual
dividends
stack up
again

On July /, for the third time this year.
Perpetual savers were rewarded with
generous quarterly dividend. And
there's more to come, for on October
another dividend will be paid. bringing
to an estimated 100000 the sum
that Perpetual shareholders will earn
on their savings during 1857.
This tremendous total dividend payment
in silver dollars would amount to more
than 100 stacks. each as high as the
Washington monument. Yes, it sure pays
to save at Perpetual where liberal
dividends are credited four times year.
And remember, money received by the
goth of the month earns dividends
for the full month.
