PUSHP[AN FOR
D. c. CARLTON
Fine Arts Club Assured That
Capital Will Have Great
War Memorial.

The carillon which the Fine Arts
Club has been working to establish in
Washington now seems assured since
tho General Federation Of Women =
Clubs has been asked to get behind
the movement to have such structure
erected as a memorial to the boys
who were killed in the world war.
The proposition was put to the
board of directors last night at the
dinner given by the Fine Arts Club,
and was very favorably received. II
is possible that the board Of directors
will take favorable action on the
matter during the present session
which will come 10 close this even
ing.
The idea OF the carlton as outlined
to the members OF the board is some
thing similar to one now existing in
Belgium. The chimes themselves will
cost about 5000, 900, and well house d
in a 100000 building. Should the
federation decide to get behind the
movement, II will be pushed in every
local federation in the country.
While tho dinner and reception
given the hoard last night by the Arts
lub was primarily a soieal affair, mem

RUM PERMITS
Druggists Would Abolish Bono
ReneWals-High Premiums
Cause of Trouble.

The Internal Revenue Bureau, at
the request OF the retail and whole
sale druggists, is considering a plan
whereby the druggists will not have
to renew their bonds every year when
they obtain a permit TO dispense
liquor. The druggists complained
that the bonding companies were in
creasing their rate OF premium on
the bonds from $3.50 a $1,000 to so
a $1,000. The bonds are necessary
under the Volstesd Prohibition en-
forcement act.
Officials of the Internal Revenue
Bureau say they are not concerned
with the amount of premium the drug
gists have to pay, but they want to
make II as easy as possible for them.
II II is learned that the Government
will not he placed In Jeopardy by the
druggists not having to renew the
bonds the Treasury Department will
agree to let the old bonds stand.
According to Washington drug
gist. when he first obtained a bond
to dispense liquor he paid t2S for a
81 5000 bond. when he obtained q
new permit and wanted the bond re-
newed, he said he was informed by
the bonding company that the form
of the bond had changed and that
he would have TO pay 500 for the
bond. The bonding company said
that the frst bond was obtained under
the war Time Prohibition Act and the
new bond was under the Nolstead
Prohibition Act. The druggist said
that the form of the bond had not
changed materially and that there is
no noed for the sudden rise In the
premium
The decision OF the Tire .sury will be
announced in a few dayr II Is said.

by Assemblyman Rowe
From a Stag Correspondent

ALBANY, Feb. 2s. = Assemblyman
George H. Rowe, Republican, of Erie,
to-day introduced bill to control
aviation.
The Rowe bill provides that no air
craft shall be flown within the state
unless registered with the Secretary Of
State. A nonresident aviator comply
ing with the laws of his own state
may operate an airshlp IN this state
not exceeding ten days year without
complying with the registration and
licensing provisions. All New York
aviators must be licensed by the Sec
retary of State, the fee being S25.
They must be over twenty-one years of
age Under the rules of navigation in
the bill airships are barred from flying
lower than 5000 feet over cities and
1000 over incorporated villages.
Aviators are not to be permitted to
fly over mass assemblies and are barred
from Intentionally dropping missiles
except over flying fields or the sea,

States steamboat regulations at sea
are to govern the passing of airships,

ment, or BOTH
The bill of Senator J. Samuel Fow-
Ter, of Jamestown. repeating the day
light saving law. was held up in the
Senate by a motion by Senator Kaplan,
OF New York. The cities and rural di-
visions seem to be hopelessly split on
this measure, and Senator George F.
Thompson, of Niagara, asked if a COM
promise could not be reached. Ma
jority Leader j. Henry Walters said
that all compromise efforts had failed.
He saw only two ways of solving the
dltficulty-one to permit cities which
want the law retained to enact day
light saving ordinance, and the other
through business interests voluntarily
agreeing to add the extra hour of day
light during the summer. He said that
in discussing either one of these posi-
tions their effect on train schedules
and the time of opening and closing
the Stock Exchange and banking in
stitutions would have to be taken into
consideration

Reduced to Minimum
MacStay Announces He Will
Eliminate as Many Men
and Trucks as Possible

Falling temperature yesterday pre-
vented Fire Marshal Kenlon's fremen-
street cleaners from flushing streets
that are only partly open to traffic.
This obstacle, together with a policy
Of retrenchment inaugurated in the
Department Of Streets, cut down the
number of men employed in the streets
to the smallest force used since the
blizzard of February 4.
Street Commissioner Arnold B. Mac
Stay announced he would eliminate as
many men and trucks as possible with
in the next few days. He said that 1t
would be impossible to remove all of
the snow in the streets, but that hos
pital streets, fire streets and the main
thoroughfares leading to ferries and
important traffic centers had been
cleared.
The fire chief issued a warning to
business men who have been burning
barrels and boxes in the streets in an
effort to melt snow and, in some in
stances, to provide heat for watchmen
and other outside workers. 1t was
shown that many streets are Uttered
with barrel hoops and nails, making it
dangerous for horses and pedestrians.
