Several weeks ago a story was told
around of merchant who employed
a collector at SIS week, laid him
off two and three days week, and
docked him for the time off. 1t was
also stated that when it was discov-

to stealing 5000 because he couldn't
live on the wages paid him, had been
robbing him the merchant refused to
accept 500 made up by friends of the
accused and drop prosecution. Since
then the theft has admitted stealing
more than $400 and the man robbed

The congressional printing bill" re-
signed to save the government $507,-
$3.50 on the annual printing budget,
recently passed by the House. is expect
ed to be favorably reported from the
Senate committee on printing at an early
date. The passage of the bill by the
Senate was predicted last night.
For a number of years efforts have
been made in Congress to put through
legislation to reduce the governments
public documents Bills have been
passed by one branch or the other. but
in no case have they succeeded in get
ting through both Senate and House.
Representative Keiss, chairman Of the
House committee on printing, got the
bill through the House last Wednesday.
Plan Real Record.
Congress in passing this bill will
begin it's economies at home, for 1t
planned to make the Congressional
Record really record of what
transpires in the Senate and House
chambers, and not repository for
lengthy articles clipped from news
papers and letters and kilograms.
That the present method of printing
and distributing government publ
cations has become an almost utter
failure is clearly evident from the
enormous accumulation of obsolete
and useless documents in the govern
ment warehouses year after year. the
committee report on the bill said. In
seven years these accommodations
reached total of almost 100000
publications. the great bulk of which
had to be disposed of as waste pa
per without ever having been I'M
wrapped by any one.

More than three -fourths of these en-

the furtherance OF their own candi-

is expressed that such expenditures

Welfare ORGANIZATIONS
MAY SALVAGE BUILDINGS

The director of the operations divi-
sion, general stan. has informed the
commission on training camp activities
that as a general rule the Y. NJ c. A.,
Red Cross and sjnilar, buildings are the
property Of thes0organixations and may
be removed by them at their discretion.
The fact that during the present de-
mobilization period many camps and
cantonments are not in use leads these
agencies to believe their buildings can
be Of no further use and that anything
they can obtain by salvaging them
should be so obtained.
As a matter Of general policy, it is
stated that the War Department does
not encourage these agencies to salvage
their buildings at cantonments which
are being purchased and at the camps
built on government-owned land. At
those camps which are being salvaged
these agencies have already been advised
tv remove their buildings.

CITIZENS TO BACK
D. c. coming BILL
Federation of Associations
May Meet This Week TO
Petition Early Action.
GOVERNS BUILDINGS SIZE

A special meeting of the Fedora
tion Of Citizens Associations to con-
slider petitioning Congress for early
action on the coming bill for regula-
ton of building in the District and
other matters is expected to be called
this week.
The Commissioners consider this
one of the most important measures
ever introduced for the District. 1t
has received favorable committee re-
ports in the Senate and House, and,
IL 1t should pass, 1t will give citizens
associations another opportunity to
render an important public service.
Owners Would Govern.
The plan is to have the coming COM
mission authorized by the bill divide
the city into districts and then ascer-
tain the wishes of the property own
ers as to use, height and area re-
stricttons for building operations in
their respective sections.
1t develops that the citizens asso-
Citations in the several districts will
be asked to sponsor public meetings
at which property owners will have
an opportunity to express their views
on the subject. AS far as 1t is prac-
tical and in line with the general
plan to be worked out for the future
development OF the Capital, the COM
mission will heed the views of the
majority of the owners in each dis
trict in framing regulations cover
ing use, height and area of buildings,
1t is stated.
After the community views have
been ascertained. regulations will be
framed and considered at public hear
ings in the District building before
being adopted.
The proposed commission will con-
sist Of the three District Commits
sfoners and the superinte ndents of
public buildings and grounds and the
Capitol building and grounds.
Commissioners Favor It.
That passage of the bill is vital to
the development of Washington along
uniform lines that will be rejected
!, In q. 2 staSi l Of property values
They believe 1t will promote public
health and make the city more beau
tiful and Q more desirable place in

The problem before the Washington
commission. II created, will be some
what different from that which has
confronted similar bodies elsewhere,
1t IL pointed out, for the reason that
the local commission must devise a
plan from a twofold viewpoint, con-
sidering the future needs Of Wash

This is unfortunate for me, and espec-

be at camp as frequently as l am and
hear the oft-repeated call for books
well, you would probobly be able to
get some somewhere. If you know
where that where is, wish you would

to be my lot to get into territory

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CHILDREN PARADE

This is children's week all over the
country and at Valley City yesterday
the fact was very appropriately OBJ
served by big parade of the Sunday
school children Of the city, which pa
rade took place about 4:30. The Mu-
nicipal Band, playing sacred music,
headed the procession and hundreds
Of Sunday school children and teach
ers were in line. It was little differ
ent parade than those usually taking
place, but it was mighty good one
at that. It showed that the religious
activity of the city was strong and
that hundreds Of children were being
brought up in religious atmosphere.
It was great parade and the many
different kinds Of flags added a pleas
ing effect to the army Of marchers
in line. The band certainly gave
those little tots a great hike but they
came along in good shape. After the
parade the bunch lined up in front of
the postoffice and had their picture
taken by Kenneth Mcfarland. Chill
dren's Week was very fittingly OBJ
served by this big parade of yester-
day afternoon, and really we did not
think there were so many children in
the city and especially in the Sunday
schools.

the men who constitute the Worlds
cleanest and most irresistible fight
ers-have come to their task through
religious education and moral train
ing acquired in childhood and youth
in the Sunday school of yesterday. 1t

today to give to the worlds present
generation of youth a moral and relig
ious equipment adequate for the SUI
preme test Of tomorrow-the ere

Sunday school faced more impera-
tive challenge to get straight down
to business.
Let us cooperate in making the
"Children's Week" a success. Every
Stacker in the Sunday school should
be rounded up nthese times Of Won
derful Kingdom opportunity. There's
a job for everybody and we should all
be at it.
Your attention is called to the
