There's the case of Bernard Bury, who | played the piano for the Society of Na- | tives of the District of Columbia last night. Bury strode into the Washing- ton Club, where the meeting was being | held, and whipped off his sporty tan | topcoat with a gusto. But—swish! The | topcoat was off and Bernard stood re- | vealed in all the glistening barrenness of s white shirt sleeves.

He had grasped the situation. “Here, young fellow, take mine,” he said, as he peeled off his dinner jacket and stood in shirt sleeves. Bernard Bury climbed into the judge's coat, murmuring, “How did I ever forget it!” Judge Schuldt returned to the bench— the same green one—and sat in his shirt sleeves until he became chilly, and then, after eying the tan sport coat, got into it. So he finished the meeting. And the tan coat had A belt i'n’ everything.

VIRGINIA RAIL SYSTEM IS ORDERED STUDIED Railroad Route Into Buzzards Point for Future Industrial Area Is Approved by Group. ‘The National Capital Park and Planning Commission today was putting the final touches on the formal agreement with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission for a financial set-up under which the nearby Maryland valleys, including Rock Creek and Sligo, will be developed for park purposes. ~Attorney General William D. Mitchell has ruled favorably on the pro- posed agreement and has suggested certain changes, which are being made. Details of the agreement were not made public, but it is cxpected that this will b> done soon. The Maryland au- thorities propos> to raise their share of the fund for purchasing park land through the issuance of bonds. Under the Capper-Cramton park purchase act, the Federal Government is to pay two-thirds of the cost of the land, with Maryland interests con- tributing on=-third of the purchase price. The Federal Government is en- abled to advance its portion for eight years, without interest. Before the Fed- eral authorities could accept the se- curities contemplated by the Maryland people, the Department of Justice had to be consulted, so that the proceeding might be strictly legal. ‘The commission provided for a gen- eral study of the Virginia street railway system into Washington. and will take up the problem again with the Public Utilities Commission. Included in this question is the location of a proposed terminal to replace that at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania avenue, which will be demolished under the public buildings program. The commission approved one of three railroad routes into the Buzzards Point area. near the Washington Navy Yard. which is to be developed as an indus- trial section. William J.

W 'FARM MORATORIUM OPPOSITION GROWS National Organization Leaders Say They Will Not Support Proposal in Congress. the Associated P: Opposition to suggestions for a mora= torium on debts owing Federal Land Banks is growing among national farm organizations. In the face of it, organized farm leaders say any such proposals placed before Congress will lack their sup- port. They believe the moratorium idea’ will be defeated if it should be resented. s The low price of wheat and President Hoover's one-year suspension of inter- governmental debts gave rise to talk of suspending farm debts for a similar period of time. In the Middle West last June and July the comment was freely heard that if Germany and other foreign nations can be given financial | relief, why not hard-pressed farmers? | Chester H.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 17.—Grape bricks, their inventor, Karl Offer of San Francisco, president of the Vino Sano Co., tostified yesterday mnever were intended to be used for making wine. “We provide two protective devices to prevent fermentation,” he_testified at a_hearing for Charles W. Shenk, J. | E. Skiff and Charles McDonald, who seck to set aside the search warrant under which they were arrested during a raid on the Vino Distributing Cor- poration of New York salesrooms last July. Explain Names Used. “Intention to make wine may be in the mind of the purchaser.,” he added, “but it certainly is not in the mind of the seller.” Mr. Offer explained the use of such terms as “port,” “sherry” and “Rhine wine,” used in the literature of the corporation and on its containers, by saying: “Those terms designate varieties of California grapes. There are 67 kinds of grapes raised in California.” U. S. Commissioner Skeptical. David P. Sigel of defense counsel asserted wine could not be made from the bricks “except through express vio. laticns of the instructions on each package.” United States Commissioner Francis A. O'Neill reserved decision. He com- mented, however: “You can buy a gallon of grape juice, ready to drink, for $§1.25. Why go to the trouble of making it your- selves with gallon bricks which cost $2.35 each?” AUTOPSY IS ORDERED Patient at Gallinger Succumbs. Police Say He Was Injured.

One-way trade caused the economic ills which have beset America, Sir Francis Goodenough, C. B.

Trade is, in its essence, exchange, and gold is only a medium to facilitate the excnange of goods or services. America has piled up gold in cold storage and is only now begin- that trade cannot live by gold alone Optimism over the possibility of an early return to normalcy was expressed by Sir Francis, though he declined to make a definite prediction as to when the reaction would begin.
