The men arrested gave their
names as James Joya, seventeen
years old, and Juan Harron, nine.
teen years old, both of 1418 w

allege. was found in the possession
Of Harron, and a charge of carry.
ing concealed weapons was pre-.
ferred against him. Detective Sergt
Thomas Sweeny and Lieutenant
Sullivan say that Kleidan identified
the pair.
A novel method Of hiding his
identity was adopted by the bandit
who held up Abraham Kokel, 1926

last night. Kokel told the police
that the man was white, but had
blackened his face and wore dark
gloves. While the bandit levelled

cash register and got $40. A de.
scription has been furnished to
the police.

Elmer Humphrey and O'Neil were
held under $500 bond each for a
hearing before Judge Gore at MARI

that il the place raided last night
was allowed. to open-it has been
closed lately-the Klan would take
matters into it's own hands. This
report is denied by Sheriff Sweeney
and also by State Attorney William

ASKED
Public Printer Carter Wants
Congress to Fix Power in
Wage Adjustments.

Authority to readjust the wages
of printers, pressmen and book
binders in the Government Print
ing Office from time to time, the
same as the Public Printer has al
ways done for every other trade
employed in the plant, is requested
in the annual report of Public
Printer George H. Carter, SUBJ
mitted to Congress today.
Wants Power Fixed.
I'm justice to all concerned" the
Public Printer says in his report,
"either the wages of every employe
should be fixed by law, or else
rower should be vested in some
agency to adjust all the wages in
this office as occasion may require.
1.-THE Sterling reclasslfl-
cation bill, now pending in the Sen
ate, proposes to remedy TINS I'M
lust situation by making the wages
of all the skilled and unskllled
trades subject to collective bar
gaining between the head of an es'
tablishment like the Government
, Printing Office and a representa-
tive of the trade concerned, their
agreement or disagreement to De
subject to approval by the Director
of the Bureau of the Budget in
consultation with the Civil Service
Commission.
|, ''If the Sterling-Lehlbach or some
! similar bill fails to become a law, II
is respectfully recommended that
Congress at this session confer au-
thority on the Public Printer to make
the necessary readjustments.
Would Cut Annual Leave.
Cutting down of the annual leave
of Government Printing O1Ilce EN-
ployes from thirty days to fourteen
DAYS and the granting of a Saturday
half holiday the year around is sug-
gested by the Public Printer. lie
also calls attention to the discPiml-
nation against his workers in regard
to sick leave, and asks that fourteen
days sick leave be given each year
when such leave Is necessary to the
health of the employees.
1.-The Saturday half holiday" Pub
lie Printer Carter continues, would
give employees an opportunity to do
such necessary things for them
selves as are appropriate to a week
day and afford them time for a more
fitting observance of the Sabbath
day. If properly used, it would mean
more healthful and a more religious
people. There would then be no ex-
cuse for the shocking increase of
Sabbath dissertation which is under
mining the influence of the churches
and our heretofore exalted position
az a godly nation"

SOCIAL HYGIENE
LEADERS MEET
TONIGHT
DR.. w. A. White and Surgeon
General ireland Will De-
liver Addresses.

Scientific and educational leaders
of Washington, individually and
collectively characterized by their
exacting sense of values, naturally
find an important field of activity
in the promotion of social hygiene
in their community.
The gravity of the social prob
lem was laid squarely before the
people of the United States during
the world war, and the great
strides made by the military forces
and the Public Health Service in
combating this evil are to be re-
Elected in addresses before the
Social Hygiene Society of the Dis
trict in the board room of the
District building tonight.
The speakers are Dr. w A.
White, superintendent of ST. Eliza
beth's Hospital, and Maj. Gen. M.
w. Ireland, surgeon general of the
army. Both are expertly qualified
to speak on the subject, as they
were among the pioneers in social
hygiene.
The occasion will be the annual
meeting Of the society, whose mem
bership comprises the city's fore
most opponents of clean living as
a means to personal health and
the welfare of future generations.
During an age when the public
closed it's eyes to the dangers
undermining it's very existence, and
in prudishness avoided the subject
altogether. small band of men
and women, refusing to compro-
mise with the studious blindness Of
the great majority, cried out in
warning.
In the present day, with ministers
and sociologists thunderously deplor-
ing the license of the younger gen.
GRAFTON, the voice of that little army
has gained in strength; these pioneers
have added to their number many
more high-minded citizens, and the
result Is seen in the large member
ship of the Social Hygiene Society.
Fortunately for themselves and for
the public, the society members have
been successful in keeping out the
faddists and the unintelligently Gu
rious who almost invariably form
the wake of any important move
ment
The social hygiene educational or
ganization in Washington now con.
sists of representatives from sixty
six local clubs, whose knowledge Of
their subject has been aided by a
comprehensive course of informa-
tional lectures.
To Reach Parents.
The fact that instruction of
parents is the first step in improve
ment Of moral conditions and family
life, the society feels, and tonight's
meeting will give added impetus to
the prosecution of this proposition.
Directors Of the society are to be
elected tonight, and Il report will be
given on the social hygiene exhibit.
which was visited by 20,3S0 persons,
1t Is the aim of the society to hold
such exhibits in various sections Of
the city to arouse public interest in
support of needed legislation for the
District.
Officers of the society are Col.
w. o. Owen, president; Mrs. F. l..

Gil; Mrs. Julius Lansburgh, sec
