Keoley was formerly member of

resigned, he said, when the Donovan

Post members are in the new post,
he said.
I've believe It would be a good
hing to do away with all of the
other twenty nine Legion posts as
separate units in the National

40 LUNCHROON
OWNERS ARE
SUMMONED
Accused by Health Department
of Selling Milk Below
Legal Standard.

Forty proprietors Of lunchrooms
and other public eating places
charged with selling milk below the
legal standard of butter fet content
will be given hearings beginning to-
day before DR.. George M. Boteler'
assistant health officer of the Dis
trict. They were summoned last
week, following testing of samples
of milk. purchased from them by
health department inspectors. >
Under orders of DR.. William Z.
Fowler, health officer, nearly 2OO
specimens Of milk have been col
lected by the health department IN
an effort to bring about sale or
higher grade milk. Some few OF
these who have been notified to ap-
pear will be let off with w-rE!!ESs,
but most of them will be prosecuted
for violation Of the law requiring
milk sold in the District to contain
at least 3.5 per cent butter fat.
Those who will be warned, DR.. Fow-
Ter said yesterday, will be those who
sold milk only slightly below the
standard.
The campaign of the health de-
partment is designed to bring about
distribution Of milk by lunchroom
and other eating places in bottles
delivered by dairies, instead Of plac-
ing all milk in a large container and
dipping individual orders from it -.
when milk served in dairy bot
ties is found to be under the legal
standard" DIR. Fowler declares, "or
to be impure, we will not prosecute
the eating house proprietor but will
act against the dairy"

JAMES A. BREEN
SENDS LAST
MESSAGE
Dean of Telegraph Operators,
Known Throughout Service,
Is Laid to Rest.
"Jin" is dead.

Jill Is OCdOs
For thirty years those three
letters, tapped out over a telegraph
wire, have spelled the respect and
admiration of q host Of telegraph
operators of the younger generation
for the dean Of the wires.
Now the familiar call Jim" has
been clicked off for the last time.
Jim's key is stilled and over the
wires has gone his last 49," the
telegra piers goodnight"
Jim" was the wire signal for
James A. Breen, seventy years old,
veteran operator and dean of the
news and stock quotation wires
staff, who was buried this morning
from st. Mathews Catholic Church.
Interment was in Mount OHVet
Cemetery.
Jim was born in Alexandria and
learned telegraphy in the office of
the transportation agent of the
Virginia Midland Railway, which
later became the Southern Railway
System.
It was while he was at the key
for the Associated Press, before the
invention Of the typewriter, that he
earned the reputation of being the
fastest receiver in the country. Even
on the old stylus and carbon sheets
he could receive as rapidly as any
operator in the country could send.
Thirty years ago he was en-
ployed by the Wall Street Journal
and other brokerage houses with
offices in Washington to send and
receive stock market quotations and
he has since been regarded as the
foremost operator in this service in
the country.
Mr.. Breen Is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Margaret Breen, a
daughter and two sons.
