AMERICAN LEGION IS
ATTACKED BY SPERRY

Marvin Gates Sperry, president Of
the Private Soldiers and Sailors
Legion, yesterday filed with the Sec
retary of War protest against the
plan OF the War Department to have
the 5000, 900 Victory medals dis
tributed among ex-service men by the
American Legion.
As president OF an organization OF
ex-service men. Sperry holds that no
private corporation should come be-
tween the men and the Government.
He charges that the American Legion
IL seeking TO advertise itself CONNER
cially by playing the role of an Off.
cial branch OF the Government.
"The American Legion represents
hut n minority of the soldiers of the
war of 1e17-1S," says Sperry, "and
many of that organizations actions
are extremely obnoxious to the grea,
majority OF the private soldiers who
served in the war"

LEAGUE Of NATIONS
DRAFTS DR.. MEEKER
Leaves Labor Statistics Post to
Edit Monthly Bulletin at
Geneva.

DR.. Royal Meeker. United States
Commissioner OF Labor Statistics, has
resigned to become the editor of the
monthly bulletin of the International
office of the League of Nations. &C
cording to announcement made public
today by the Department Of Labor.
He will leave Washington shortly
after July 81 for Geneva, Switzerland,
to take UP his new duties.
Secretary of Labor Wilson regards
the resignation of DR.. Meeker "as
being an immediate loss to the Gov
ernment and the people" and pays
high tribute to his work while in the
department.
Born in Silver Lake, Pa February
%. 1873. DR.. Meeker directed his at
tention from his early school years
to economies. He was assistant pro-
fessor OF political economy at Prince
ton during the presidency OF Wood
row Wilson. After Wilson became
President OF the United States he
named DR.. Meeker q member of the
Government Meat Commission. Later
he was put at the head of the Bureau
OF Labor statistics Bulletin.

retary-treasurer of the International
Association OF Industrial Accident
Boards and Commissions. He was
also a member of the Federal Elec-
trio Railways Commission, appointed

constructive kind. II the people of
any given section do not like the
plans the commission has made for
that particular section. they will be
asked to suggest what should be
done.
Another distinction that is not gem
orally understood Is in the designa-
tions 'frst commercial district" and
second commercial district" The
zoning comms ssion explains this by
saying that the first commercial dis
trict" is for business and small manu-
featuring places. The second COM
mercial district" allows larger lati-
tude in the manufacturing line, but
not quite as much as that allowed in
industrial districts"
ALLOWED For GROWTH.
The commission has been careful in
designating the Commercial" and
''industriar" districts to see they are
not kept within too Small space.
This, they say, would place a pre-
MUM on property. This was one of
the determining factors in designat-
ing so long a strip of Connecticut
avenue as business section. II the
majority of persons in that section
decide that only one block of Connec-
ticut avenue should be a business sec
tion, 1t is probable the commission
will adhere to their wishes. But this
will relieve the commission OF arbi-
trarily making only one block a busi-
ness section, and also absolve them
from blame IL the property in such a
block should become very valuable.
TO CONFER WITH CITIZENS.
The city has been mapped into six
teen sections, and a committee OF
citizens living in each section has
been appointed to confer with the
commission and OFFER suggestions.
During the past week, all the COM
mittees visited the District Building,
and Colonel Kutz and his assistants
went over the project with them and
explained the use" map which has
been prepared to convey the zoning
idea more clearly. The committees
had little criticism to offer the
commission, but made several sug'
gestions, which will be embodied in
the next use" map TO be arranged
before the zoning plan is fully put
into operation.

D. c. GRAFT SCENTED
IN BROOM HANDLES
investigation Reveals Auditor
Donovan Practising Economy
With Treasury Benefiting.

One of the bureau chiefs of the Dis
trict government last week registered
a protest with the Commissioners
that contractors were supplying sec
ond hand material to the municipal
authorities and being paid for new
material.
1t all came about when several
brooms were delivered to q bureau
which had made requisition for
them. The brooms were new enough.
but the handles looked as though they
had seen better days. A complaint
was made to Purchasing Agent Har-
grove. with the added information
that the matter ought to be investi-
gated.
Hargrove replied in polite depart
mental language that the District was
not being "stung'' but rather was
making money.
This is why.
When any bureau in the District
government wants a new broom, they
must turn over the old one to Auditor
Daniel J. Donovan. He then takes
the handle off and sends the plain
handle to Superintendent Foster AT
the Lorton Reformatory. Superin-
tendent then turns the handle over 10
the inmates of the reformatory, and
they supply the broom. The broom Is
then resold TO the District govern
ment and the money paid for 1t sent
to the Treasury.
During the past year the Reforma-
tory at Lorton has manufactured ana
sold to the District government Sls
dozen brooms at an average price OF
$7.75 dozen, and 80 dozen whisk
brooms at $3.50 a dozen.
In addition to selling brooms to the
District. the Reformatory has sold the
District more than 100000 bricks
which have been used in building
schools, sewers. and the various other
uses to which the District puts bricks.
