Be Detrimental

lation of the prohibition laws, ae-
cording to Judge John p. Mcmahon,

days in jail for illegal sale of
liquor and to pay a fine of 800 or

such a condition that confinement
would be most detrimental. The

examined when he reached the jail
and would be sent to Gallinger
Hospital if his condition is feund
to be critical.

PUBLIC WARNED
Of FAKERS'
DRIVES
Better Business Bureau Cites
Questionable Bodies
Fund Campaigns

With local newspapers throwing
the light of publicity upon certain
wobbly,legged philanthropic organi-
cations lately springing up in
Washington like mushrooms over
night. the Washington Better Busi-
ness Bureau issued a warning to
the public today. 1t said:
1.-THE newspaper exposure of the
national sesqui-centennial commit
tee, together with recent similar
exposure Of the Woodrow Wilson
memorial foundation, should be al
warning to all public officials and
civic leaders against joining an or
ganization or lending their names
to something they know nothing
about.
1--WE believe it is one of the
duties of the Better Business Bu-
reau to aid the general public, as
well as business men, in investi-
eating unknown organizations.
"The lure of publicity and the
desire to aid q worthy cause should
be taken with a grain of salt until
the facts are obtained.
