$275 Check From Sale
Of Heirlooms One of
Most Unusual Gifts
A check for $275, representing the
proceeds from the sale of heirlooms
by a prominent Washingtonian, was
received by Bruce Baird, chairman
of the war relief fund campaign of
the District Red Cross Chapter, to
day as new contributions amounting
to $24,769.27 pushed the total re
ceipts to date tc $137,531.70.
The $275 donation, one of the most
unusual gifts received by the local
chapter in the current campaign,
was earmarked specifically for divi
sion between the British and French
Red Cross stations. Mr. Baird said
the donor obtained the money by
selling a small diamond cross that
his mother had worn, a ring that a
favorite sister had cherished and
several other small jewels.
The giver, who was stationed In
London as a Naval Reserve officer
during the first World War,
cherished the heirlooms as keep
sakes, but decided that, since he had
no one to leave them to, he would
convert them into cash and present
the money to the Red Cross. The
National Savings & Trust Co. dis
posed of the mementoes and gave
the money to Mr. Baird.
Federal Workers Help.
Campaign officials said contribu
tions from Government depart
ments figured prominently in yes
terday’s contributions, which pushed
total receipts closer to the half-way
mark. The quota assigned to the
local chapter is $300,000.
Federal workers' donations came
from the Federal Works Agency,
$328.25; Veterans’ Administration,
$655.65: War Department, $756.60;
Agriculture Department, $1,610.04;

Weights, Measures j
Officials Agree Public
Aid Be Can Enlisted
Delegates in Conference ,
Are Told to Use Press '
And Radio in Work
The public—having been made
vacuum-cleaner conscious and more
or less acutely aware of certain soaps
and brushes, electric refrigerators
and sundry other household acces- i
sories—can, as well as not, be made
weights and measures conscious, it
was agreed today at the 13th
National Conference of, Weights and
Measures, in session at the May
flower Hotel.
It’s up to local officials in this
branch of government to enlist the
support of the housewife, her con
sort and even the children in carry
ing out the regulations that protect j
the home, it was pointed out.
William Bruckarl, Washington
columnist for the Western Newspa
per Union, said to the delegates:
•'As officials, you are protecting
the public against crooks and chis
elers in the field of distribution
protecting against short weight and
against short measures. You ought
not to have a great deal of trouble
in interesting the general public,
in gaining public co-operation.”
And Mr. Bruckart suggested that
the municipal Inspector of weights
and measures cultivate the city
hall reporter, instead of leaving
that office to be regarded as a dust
dry spot on the beat that may be
forgotten.
It does require a little imagina
tion to dramatize the work of
weights and measures inspectors, the
speaker conceded, but this ought to
be possible, and the reporter will
meet the officials more than half
way If you give him half a chance.
The assembly adopted a report
by the Committee on Publicity and
Education, submitted by the chair
man, W. S. Bussey, chief of the
Texas Division of Weights and
Measures, recommending an annual
school for officials all over the
country to instruct them in educat
ing the public.
The committee also suggested lib
eral use of newspapers and the radio
to acquaint the consumers with
what is being done to protect them.
The latest gadgets in weights and
measures, on display at the confer
ence, included devices that light up
at the touch of one's little finger and
record inflnitessimal intervals.
A discussion of the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act and a re
port of the Conference Committee
on Standardization of Packaged
Goods was on the afternoon pro
gram. Sessions will continue to
morrow.

Colombian Government
Probes Fifth Column
By the Associated Pres*.
BOGOTA, Colombia, June 6.—
The Colombian government has
begun an investigation of Nazi
“fifth column” activities in Choco
department, near the Panama Canal
Zone.
Reports reputedly disclosed a
small but well-knit Nazi organiza
tion among Germans in that sec
tion.
The Bogota newspaper El Tiempo,
owned by President Eduardo Santos,
said editorially yesterday that Nazis
and Communists were “attempting
to destroy the union of the Amer
lean peoples under the pretext o!
favoring neutrality, but in reality
they are working in behalf of the
totalitarian conquerors.’’

In His Seventy-Fifth Year of Brewing
Christian Heurich Hecalls Many Colorful Events
in the City's History
This month Christian Heurich inaugurates his 75th
year in the brewing business . . . establishing a rec
ord as America’s oldest brewer.
When Christian Heurich started the Christian Heu
rich Brewing Company in Washington there was
as much difference in the city of that day and this
as there is between the brewing business of today and
that of 75 years ago.
FHOM HORSES TO
>IOHEH.\ IIKI KICH TRICKS
When horse-drawn Heurich wagons first rumbled out on the
streets of Washington there were no modernly well-paved
thoroughfares. Snake-like and muddy, Tiber Creek crawled
across lower Pennsylvania Avenue—frequently rose up and
guttered the streets with its muddy flow. The city was so
low, swampy and ill fit for government that a serious national
effort got under way to re-locate the capital. St. Louis was
proposed and offered to spend several millions of dollars for
public buildings. The movement was killed.
But the town was not the tourist-talked-about-center of scenk
interest it is today. Booth had but recently galloped down
the “Avenue” and over the bridge into Maryland. Crafty
carpet-baggers skulked across the Virginia hills southward.
Washington streets were muddy, ill lighted, and high water
frequently threatened the city.
Paralleling the City’s Growth
All through this early period the Christian Heurich Brewing
Company was becoming the city's most popular establishment.
As methods for the making of beer improved Christian Heurich
was the first to seize upon the improvements. Advancements
in brewing equipment, delivery and service to customers con
stantly created changes at the Christian Heurich Brewing
Company. But the standards upon which the original Heurich
brewing methods were founded have never changed. The
original secret formulas calling for the finest malt and hops,
time mellowed by careful aging and controlled methods of
brewing, still bring you beer and ale at their finest, brewed
by Christian Heurich.
Seventy-five years is a long time to be in any businea*. In
the brewing business it can only mean one thing, that brewing
as an art has been perfectly mastered.
Enjoy Senate Beer and Ale and learn what true brewing
mastery means as brought to you in the mellow flavor of
Senate.
