NENTAL&P.TRIL TOBE IV ANLARY Firm Is Acquitted in First of 24 Short-Weight Cases Being Tried. The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., which whs accaitted lat: yester- day on one of 24 charges of short- “weight sales; will face & jury again the flatter part of January, Assistant Cor- poration Counsel Elwood Seal, who has icharge of the prosecution, announced {today. © After yesterday's verdict Seal sald the remaining 23-cases would be in- leluded in one information and the icompany placed on trial on all of gthem at the same time." It has since ‘been decided, however, to try one more single case and then consolidate the remaining 22 cases. The charge on which the company will be tried in January will in- Aolve & much greater alleged shortage than that-of which the company was nccused in yesterday's case, Seal said. The alleged shortage in yesterday’s case was only about 5 ounces. It was charged that Mrs. Helen Exley, acting for the Department of Weights and Measures, purchased two ehickens which weighed 5 ounces less on the department’s scales than the selght for which she paid. The pur- chase was made at a store at 3228 Wisconsin avenue. Inspector W. C. Diller accompanied her to a point near the store.and waited until she returned with the purchases. The chickens were again weighed 15 min- utes after the purchase, it was testified. John W. Hartford, president of the ehain store system, was present at | the trial. He said his father had es- tablished the business 70 years ago with a single store and that he would bave considered a conviction a per- sonal disgrace. ARCHITECTS HONOR - A P.

With W. P. A. funds now available for reopening the 20 free nursery schoois in the District, which have been closed since the first week in No- vember, Commissioner George E. Allen had not decided today what he is going to do about them. In view of the urgent need of funds for all kinds of work relief, it was said he was studying the situation to deter- mine whether it would be advisable to reopen all the nurseries or limit the program to the operation of only & few at this time. Controller General McCarl counter- signed an allotment of $136,236 for their maintenance and operation dur- ing the remainder of the school year, T B | nearly three weeks after a delegation of disappointed mothers had lodged with Federal relief officials and Com- missioner Allen a plea for reopening the nursuries, W, P. A, officials ex- plained that the decision with respect to the nursery program rests entirely with Allen, who is the Works Progress administrator for the District of Co- lumbia. An initial advance of $1,000 was made to Ailen to take care of im- mediate needs, and he is authorized to draw upon the balance of the allot- ment as he sees fit. Allotment of Funds. The money allotted for the nursery schools—there were 10 in white schools and 16 in colored schools—will be added to the gereral pool of W. P, A. funds for the Districi which amounts now to approximately $4,700,000. This amount, representing payments for work with an estimated value of $8,- 700,000, is sufficient to “keep going” until March 15, District officials ex- plained, The nursery schools were approved as part of the emergency educationel vrogram for the District on or about November 8, at the time the delega- tion of mothers appealed to authori- ties for their reopening, The long delay since then was due to the ace cumulation of hundreds of proposed W. P. A. projects dumped on the desis EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, of President Roosevelt and Controller General McCarl during recent weeks, . Allen said today the 20 nurseries— provided all are placed in operation again—would give jobs to about 120 persons taken from rellef rolls in capacities of supervisors, _teachers, dieticians and assistants. The nur- series would furnish milk and hot noonday meals to about 300 children between the ages of 2 to 5 years whose parents are unable to provide their meals. The $4,700,000 now on hand for the District is by no means the limit which Allen expects to receive. The THE REASON WHY Because most colds are due to germ infection, they should be treated internally. For 80 years countless families have proved the value of Father John’s Medicine in treating colds and coughs due to colds. For COLDS and BRONCHIAL IRRITATIONS question which he must determine with respect to the nursery schools is how many to reopen at this time in view of other considerations.
