Dear Friend:
The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections, through its Children's
department, provides a highway over
which. nearly 1000 dependent children
may travel from possible delinquency
to useful citizenship. These children
were born of parents either deceased
or whose abuse or abandonment OF
them forced the courts of the state
to legally commit them into our GUS
tody. The regular legislative appro-
priation is barely large enough to
purchase the necessities and provide
an opportunity for these children to
receive an average educational
equipment for worth while service.
The money available for board and
care of the dependent children can
not be legally used for so-called lux
uries-such as dolls. sleds. skis and
toys, which seem to the average
child as essential as certain articles
of wearing apparel. Many of our lit

Burton Has Geneva Confer

Arms Statistics
BY International News Service.

GENEVA, May 16.-Congress-
man Burton, head of the Ameri-
can delegation to the arms con-
ference, warned the conference
today that if it's central office
for publication of statistics on
arms commerce is not separated
from control by the League of
Nations, it will be impossible to
depend upon American co-opera-
ton.
"It is very difficult" Burton
told the conference, "for the
United States to cooperate with
a central office which has been
created by the league and which
will be comprised in the leagues
general organization"
"Views With Regret"
"The United States" Burton con.
tinued, would view with regret
If the conference draws up an
agreement in such form as would
prevent the United States accept
ing it without reservations.
Il believe it is possible to agree
on a text which all can sign For
this purpose, I move that a COM
mittee be appointed before which
the Americans will explain their
viewpoint"
Adopting Burton's proposal, the
conference appointed subcommit-
tee of eight. comprising the United
States, Norway, France, Great
Britain. Italy, Belgium, Germany
and Spain.
The Spanish delegate. Palakies,
opposing separation of the arms
body from the league, said:
"The United States cannot deny
that the League of Nations exists.
l am unable to understand why
the United States cannot have con-
fidence in league council elected
by fifty-five nations.
II propose as compromise that
the United States have a represen-
tative vote with the league council
for the purpose Of organizing a

Former Senator Ball Gives
Details of Plans for Houses
Just Over D. c. Line

Erection of several hundred
houses to cost approximately
$4,000 each on a 5O0-acre tract
along Massachusetts, avenue ex-
tended, just across the District
Line, to be developed into a Civil
Service Employees community, as
a practical means of solving the
housing situation in the National
Capital, was announced today by
ex-senator L. Heisler Ball, for
mer chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee and now men,
Der of the District Rent Com
mission.
Land Already Purchased
Mr.. Ball today admitted that the
land for this purpose already has
been purchased and that steps are
now being taken to erect several
sample houses in order that Govern
ment employees can see concrete
example of what is offered.
he said that he did not desire
to make public the name of the
man who is financing the project,
as he feels preliminary announce
ment should come from him.
1t is understood, however. that
every detail of the plans for the
community have been gone over by
Mr.. Ball and he expects to tell
President Coolidge Of the project
when he visits him early next week.
RecreationaI Club Features.
In order to make the project an
ideal one from the standpoint Of
Civil Service workers, the promoters
Of the project intend to build a
community swimming pool, tennis
courts, and other Iecreational and
club features designed to promote
q healthful community spirit.
"I deem rhis proposition. said
Mr.. Ball today, "a practical one
which will enable Government en-
ployes not only to live inexpen-
sively but pleasantly.
81 am confident that ten years
from now the property in this local
ity will have doubled in value"
1t is expected that a meeting
Of Civil Service workers will be
called in the immediate future
when the extent of the interest in
the community will be ascertained.
Mr.. Ball indicated, however, that
regardless Of the sentiment of Gov
ernment employees, the promoter of
the community will go forward
with plans in the confident belief
that the project ultimately will be
a distinctly successful proposition.
