when there has been rain. Miss
Shirley Briggs, vice-president
of the Audubon Naturalist
Society of the Central Atlantic
States, said the fire department
should reconsider its standard
policy of permitting these fires.
Would Cut Up Wood
Fires begun a week ago and
covered with dirt are still
smoldering, Miss Briggs said,
and children poking in them
could send up sparks and start
a holocaust that the District
Fire Department would have
difficulty reaching in the heavy
woods and brush with equip
ment before great damage was
done.
Miss Briggs called on the
District to revise its policies so
that timber cut for construc-
ton work in woods would be
cut to firewood size. Citizens
would then be invited in to cart
the wood home.
Miss Briggs said this manner
of getting rid of timber is the
standard procedure in woods
under the jurisdiction of the
National Park Service in this
area.

The con man who swindles a

potency or sells swampland to
a retired couple has the respect
(along with no small amount
of diStaste) of United States
postal inspectors.
At the opening of a five-day
conference on mail fraud here
today, the mail swindler was
labeled subtle" devious" and
smarter than a whip" as well
as vicious" and "unscrupu-
lous."
But it was obvious that the
inspectors show as much fineSse
in their fight against fraud as
the defrauders.
The investigators were briefed
on some of the preSent-day
swindles that concentrate on
the burgeoning group of retired
persons. The most lucrative of
this type, they were told, is the

Showers Seen
BYWeek End
For D. Area
Cooler Weather
Is on Its Way
For Dry East

Rainless for 80 consecutive
days, the Washington area to-
day stood some chance of get
ting a few sprinkles by Sat-
urday.
Hope for rain appeared in
the forecast today along with
reports that the parched
drought section of the Eastern
United States is in for cooler
weather. Some light rain fell
yesterday from the Ozarks to
the Appalachians and the
Weather Bureau anticipated
some of it might come this way
toward the end of the week.
Meanwhile, the long period of
unseasonably mild weather that
has prevailed m the East and
South through most of october
may be over. From yesterdays
record high temperature of SO,
for an october 81, the tempera-
ture is expected to fall to about
As tonight. Tomorrow will be
cloudy and cool with the mer-
curry in the COS.
The old record high of 80 for
October 81 was set in 1919.
A byproduct of the areas 80
straight days without rain was
a report of a dozen small brush
fires in Prince Georges County
yesterday. There also were
several small field fires in
Montgomery County but equally
dry nearby Virginia reported
no fires.
The light showers that fell as
the cool front moved eastward
yesterday did little to alleviate
tinder-dry conditions over most
of the United States east of
the Mississippi. The only sub
stantial rains were along the
Ohio River in Indiana and
Kentucky.
The vast drought belt, ex-
tending from the Texas plains
to New England has suffered
millions Of dollars in losses to
crops and property. New dan
ger of forest fires flared in
Pennsylvania, where there were
81 blazes in the States wood
lands, and New York. which
had 81 forest fires yesterday.
Freezing weather moved into
some Northern States today,
including Montana, Idaho and
Wyoming and it was near
freezing in some Chicago
suburbs.
Hurricane Ginny, which
brought heavy rain to the East
ern Carolinas but dumped most
of its load at sea, has now

There will be no more burn
ing of debris at a storm sewer
construction site in Glover
Archbold Park until there has
been a heavy rain, Acting Fire
Chief Henry A. Galotta said
today.
He said the firm now clear

agreed to the prohibition and
that the District Fire Depart

timely to assure compliance
with the agreement.

Northwest Washington resi-
dents living near the District
run park had protested that
debris was being burned at the
sewer site and that the cover
ing of the fires with dirt at
the end of the day did not
sufficiently guard against the
hazard of a major fire.
Acting Chief Galotta said
that under ordinary circum-
stances the practice of cover
ing fires with dirt is a Suf-
ficient precaution. He said the
prohibition would apply until

Law Has Teeth,
Dentists Learn
Some of Reasons
The law does have teeth.


In fact, a week-long meeting
on the place of teeth in the
law opened today at the Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology
here. The meeting is a post
graduate course to acquaint
dental officers with how they
can assist law enforcement
agencies in identifying bodies
by the teeth.
Fingerprints may be impos-
sible to obtain in some mass
disasters or if a body has I'M
dergone lengthy submersion in
water, but teeth are more
durable.
With the use of dental rec
ords, persons can be positively
identified.
Tomorrow, the dentists will
have a lab session and later
they will learn how to prepare
for testimony before a court.
Several sessions are set on
the dentists own liability. too.

Air of Unrest
A feenng of general unrest
has hung over this tiny West
ern Maryland campus since last
spring, when four teachers were
told their contracts would not
be renewed.
The four contended at the
time that they were being dis
missed because of their liberal
viewpoints and because they
wanted to use such controver-
sal novels as "Tropic of Can
Ger" in their classrooms. A
court suit was filed in an at
tempt to forestall the dismiss
sails, and students signed petit
tons and event went so far as
to hang Mr.. Hardesty in effigy
The court suits recently were
dropped after Mr.. Hardesty is

Charmed by
The AID Makers
By JOHN McKELWAY

Waiting for it to rain some
day, the Rambler turned to
his favorite fall sport, read
ing the new car advertise
ments.
The photography is super
lative; the editorial matter is
interestingly only because
some advertising man was
able to think of something
more to say about a new
model.
For example, one of the
Buick ads invites the pros
pective customer to visit a
showroom, sit in any one of
the new Bucks, and practice
this short easy line, My
Buick Sounds good, doesn't
it?"
That's a new angle, GER
tainly. If one actually went
through with listing
there in the showroom be-
hind the wheel and mutter-
ing, my Buick; my Buick"
there is probably a reason
able chance they would take
you away where you couldn't
buy any Bucks.

while, have gone all out
again. this year in dreaming
up ways to associate a new
automobile with a woman.
