he must make some physical
improvements of his shops and
increase revenue. The shop
owner said he had complied
with these stipulations.
Robert F. Bacon, assistant
director for financial manage

Cob Records of
EmpIoye-Drivers

District school officials are
checking the manifests of "a
employees who are part-time
taxicab drivers to be sure they
aren't working for themselves
on Government time.
OF So manifests reviewed so
far, a few contained discrepan-
cies. but these apparently have
been resolved in favor Of the
drivers.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said yesterday that the check
was prompted by reports that
some District employees were
driving taxicabs during hours
when they were supposed to
have been working for the city
or were on sick leave.
1t was disclosed last wee k
that a probe by the General
Accounting office showed that

cession has been awarded to an

ised him to negotiate a new
/ five-year contract in 1861. Al
that time, Mr.. Yudkin said, he
had signed a two-year contract

him major changes might bt

Mr.. Mensik and Mr.. Grow
needed q company with assets
lin the United States which
could be listed in advertise
ments of the associations. /
Security Financial was set up
in 1859 with capital Of $425. 900
and undertook to insure de-
posts Of $40 million or more in
a number of companies con-
trolled by Mr.. Mensik and Mr..
Grow. Two Canadian compa-
mics held the controlling stock
in the Maryland company, the
Canadian companies in turn
were controlled by two COM
panies in Tangier, Morocco. and
these were controlled by two
American companies-one in
Chicago and the other in Utah.
Ownership Hidden
Mr.. McGurren's job, Mr..
Sachs said, was to hide the real
ownership through the foreign
connections.
Security Financial then ad-
vertised. by mail and otherwise.
Mr.. Sachs said, so that the in
veSting public was led to be-
lieve the individual associations
by good management practices
had won the right to be insured
by the Maryland company.
Security Financial was set UP
In Maryland, Mr.. Sachs said,
because in 1859 Maryland had
virtually no laws regulating
savings and loan operations. He
added 1t was no accident that
Mr.. Boone Of the Maryland
Legislature was picked to help
set UP the corporation, since he
was a member Of the Maryland
House and chairman Of the
Ways and Means Committee Of
the body.
Mr.. Boone agreed for a
handsome price to join the
team" Mr.. Sachs said.

Fills Near Trees

From Mrs. x, Arlington.
What effects does filling soil
over the root area Of q tree
have upon its health2 Answer:
The general rule with regard to
changing the grade about a tree
is that removal of, or addition
Of, more than 6 or 8 inches Of
soil will affect its vigor and
ability to grow. The practice Of
leveling lawns and filling In
around trees without providing
for adequate aeration Of the
soil usually results in quick
death.

and lime-free materials. The
heavier materials are much
superior to those OF light
weight which might be car
ried away by wind and water.
The lighter colored stones
are, Of course, conspicuous
whereas the softer tones Of
browns, greens and reds are
seldom eyecatchers. However,
the latter colors are not as
widely used where raked pat
terms are desired. The color
may be important when stone
mulches are used about flow
ering plants.
Decide on Depth
The depth Of the material
to be Of maximum satisfac-
ton viii vary considerably. A
thinner layer may be used
where all weeds and grasses
are completely eliminated be-
fore application. Also where
feasible q sheet Of plastic may
be spread over the soil which
will prevent most weeds and
grass from invading the
mulched area. A 2 inch layer
will ordinarily shade out such
plants as chickweed and crab
grass. Because Of the space be-
tween the larger stones q 8
or 4 inch layer may be neces-
sary.
The choice between q thick
layer Of stones and q thin lay
er with q plastic sheet below
viii necessarily be influenced
by the problems involved in
supplying moisture to the
plants.
The plastic helps to retain
soil moisture but 1t also pre-
vents percolation Of rain wa
ter into the soil except at the
openings.
Where Bermuda grass and
other weeds are not too OBJ
noxious the plastic may be
preferable.
A metal edging to prevent
the scattering of gravel onto
the lawn is often desirable.
Also it prevents grass and
weeds from invading the grav-
el mulched beds.
