WILL PASS ON ALL SIGNS
Commissioners Change Regulations
in Regard to Permits.

The Commissioners will have the
right, under new regulations adopted
today, to pass upon all permits for
signs before they are painted or
erected in the District.
The most important section of the
sign regulations as they have been
rewritten is the following:
NO sign of any character shall be
erected. hung. placid or painted upon
any structure or upon the walls or
roof of any structure unless such
sign advertises a business bona fide
conducted on the premises. and un-
less permit therefor shall have
been issued by the inspector of build
ings upon the authority of the Com
missioners of the District of Column
bia.",
The las. paragraph of the re-
drafted rules gives the city heads
the power to require applicants for
sign permits to put up a deposit
sufficient to cover the cost of paint
ing out or removing any sign that
is found to be in violation of the
new regulations after it has been
erected or painted on a building.

LONDON. June % canadian Press).
The imperial conference did not hold
formal session today. having ad-
journed after Lord Curzon's speech
yesterday. until Friday. At that time
the Japanese alliance, which is the
first big subject to be discussed, is
not likely to come up. as it is planned
to discuss that subject early next
week.
Lord Curzon's speech was a compre-
hensive. but highly confidential re-
view of the principles which have
guided British foreign policy since the
end Of the war. Owing to the fact
that number Of questions of deli
cate international significance had to
be touched upon. the conference
agreed that the address should not be
published. All that can be said. there
fore. is that the British minister of
foreign affairs took the conference
completely into his confidence, laying
all the cards upon the table. and. at
the same time inviting the delegates
to interrogate him on each and every
point. &.

Wayne b. Wheeler, general coun-

Hughes, Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Boston. Mass, were the
principal speakers.
Mr.. Wheeler made a strong plea
for the cooperation of representa-

the Eighteenth Amendment. He said
that every law abiding citizen should
uphold the amendment and the Vol
stead Act. Failing In this, we dc
violence to ourselves and strike al

He stated that there was no quar-

believe in prohibitory legislation but
that there was but one channel
through which they should express
such disapproval and that was the
process prescribed by law. To take
any other means of getting rid OF
prohibition was to lower our citi-

Wheeler said.

BY W. d. GREENE.

oh. papa. why won't Santa Claus
Bring gifts to me this year?
My mamma cries and says he won't
Why won't he, papa dear?
I've been the coolest I know how
For OH so many days.
Hoping he'd bring me coat and shoes,
The same as Mildred Hays.
Mamma said we have no coal,
Nor scarce a thing TO eat;
SO how could I expect Old Kris
To bring me a Christmas treat?
And Mildred made me cry today
AS I passed by her door;
She said that Santa never comes
To the children OF the poor.
Now. Mildred's father must be rich
He never works at all;
They live all summer by the sea,
And don't come home till fall.
Then why does Santa bring her gifts
And pass right by our door;
And never leave a thing for me?
Is it cause my daddy's poor?
