DECLARES DISTRICT
LEGISLATION MUST
WAIT FOUR MONTHS
Minor Bills May Receive
Action Before Senate
Adjourns, Says Ball.
DEBATE POSTPONED
Only Drastic Efforts Will
Solve d. c. Car Problem,
Is Belief of King.
DEBATE POSTPONED

District legislation must wait un-
til December for action of the Sem
ate, according to a statement Of
Senator l.. Heisler-Ball, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee.
A few minor bills. such as the
widening of First street northeast.
and authorization of the sale of a
school site at Twentieth and Jack
son streets northeast that prevents
the extension of a street may be
acted upon before the Senate ad-
journs. but debatable questions will
not be brought up during the ses-
sion. according to Ball.
1t was expected that the Senate
would act upon the question of es-
tablishing the tubercular school at
Fourteenth and Upshur streets. but
the fact that serious opposition has
been offered to this site and the
possibilities of a lengthy debate,
will prevent its consideration dur
ing this session. it was said.
Traction situation.
Senator William II. King has been
interested especially in the local
traction situation and is the author
of several bills to force a merger
of the Capital Traction Company
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. He has signified
his intention to retire from the Sem
ate and hoped to get some action
on a measure which would offer re-
lief to street car patrons before his
retirement. Although the Senator
feels that 1t is impossible to get ac-
tion on the street car question this
session, he insists that until drastic
legislation forces the corporations
to merge, the public may expect
nothing in the way of Improvement.
Long school Hearings.
The school program. necessitating
lengthy hearings and the legisla-
tive jam in the Senate. caused this
item to be deferred until Decem-
ber. when it is believed the COM
m:ttee will be in<possession of briefs
from all educational authorities in
the various States. When the COM
mittee has received suggestions
from the various States. a program
will be drafted embodying the de-
sirable features, 1t was explained.
During this session of Congress, II
has become apparent to many men,
bers of both houses that minor mat
ters affecting the changing of
names and opening and closing of
streets. should be handled by the
District Commissioners. Several OF
such bills have had no opposition
but due to the great amount of ma
tional legislation, they have been de-
layed for many months before they
could be brought up in the Senate
or House. Several influential men,
bers Of the House expressed the
opinion that this power should be
vested in the Commissioners, mas
much as Congress has the power to
change any ruling made by the
Commissioners. should it see fit.

URGES LEGION men
TO AID BONUS BILL
Legislative Committee Calls
On Members to Appeal
To Senators.

Direct propaganda, to further the
early passage of the bonus bill now
before Congress-, is urged upon all
members of the American Legion in
a letter sent out by the national
legislative committee yesterday.
The communication, which has
been sent to all post commanders
and auxiliary commanders. states
that Immediately upon receipt of
this letter 1t Is absolutely necessary
that you get in direct touch with
every member of your post and
have him Immediately write or wire
both your United States Senators,
calling their attention to the fact
that this legislation has now been
pending for three years, and that
the former service men of your
State look to them. not only to sup
port it on the floor of the Senate.
but to work for and urge it's early
passage"
The letter goes on to state that
these letters and kilograms should
be in the strongest language pos
sible. They should set forth that
the former service men are conf
dent that the Senate is going to
pass this legislation, but that they
do not understand why II has taken
such a long time for 1t to be acted
upon, and that now that 1t Is be-
fore the Senate, they want their
Senator's hearty support and want
it now"
The ladies' auxiliaries are urged
to send communications from both
organization members and outsiders
to Washington before August 19.

In Paradise Either Way.

While / was looking out of my
window I saw two boys feeding
pigeons. I thought what nice boys
they were to be so kind. While
one fed the birds. however. the
other disappeared, soon coming
back with a long piece of cord.
Making a loop in one end, he
spread the loop on the ground in
circular shape.
The other boy put some feed
within the stringed circle and
started to entice the pigeons into
the circle, his actions causing
amusement to passersby. Soon the
pigeons began picking at the feed
within the loop. One of the boys
grasped the loose end of the cord
and when he saw his chance. pulled
1t, closing the circle and ensnaring
one of the pigeons by its feet.
The boys then laughed and ran
and picked up the pigeon. which
was trying hard. naturally, to free
itself. Walking away with their
capture. the boys soon passed out
of my sight. I wonder now wheth-
er this bird became somebody's pet
or disappeared from this realm via
the pigeon soup route.-ANNIE
THURM, 643 d street northwest.

the Chinaman scrutinized the con-
ductor. who was not unmindful that
he was the object of the China
mans scrutiny. Finally the con-
ductor asked his close observer:
DO you want a transfer" The
Chinaman with the bland express
sion characteristic, of his kind, re-
piled: mo. don't want transfer,
