Kalorama Citizens Insist on
Local Appointee to Vacant
Commissionership.

Resenting further curtailment of
the few remaining rights and privi-
leges" of residents of the District of
Columbia, the Kalorama Citizens AS
sociation. meeting in the library of ST.
Margaret's Church, Connecticut ave-
nue. and Bancroft place. last night
passed resolutions opposing reported
1ntimations of President Coolidge that
because of the restriction placed by
law upon the eligibility of appointees
TO the Board of District Commission
ers. he may at the next session of
Congress ask for modification Of that
section of the law.
Protests Change I'm Law.
The resolution, presented by James
Murphy, declared that the District
should not. in addition to being de-
prived of all. semblance of seH-govern-
ment, have imposed on it high mu-
nfcipaI official who is not a bona fide
resident of Washington. II further
protests against any change in the
present law providing qualifications
for District Commissioners, and re-
cords opposition to the extension of
the un-Ameri4an principle of govern
ment by 'satAps.'"
Recommendations will be made to
the Commissioners. according to reso-
lutions adopted, that they include in
sufficient amount to warrant erection
of new building to house the Police
Court, the Municipal Court, and the
offices of the recorder of deeds.
Present Building Inadequate.
The present building was pointed
out as inadequate and unsuitable for
the safe and convenient handling of
the many valued records filed there.
1t was said that the structure is an
old reconverted residence, not being
suited to the purposes for which 1t
is being used and does not command
the respect of those who use it. 1t
was suggested that the proposed
building be erected at the east end
of the present court house to CORE
spond with the architectural design
of that building.
Endorsement was given to the pro-
posal by the health committee of the
Council of Social Agencies for rea-
sonable minimum of service by doctors
and nurses to meet the school needs
of the District.
Reasons Assigned.
Rev. DIR. W. l.. Darby, who offered
the resolution, stated that under pres
ent conditions it would require three
years for complete physical exami-
nation of all children attending the
public schools. BY augmenting the
medical corps to handle the exami-
nations, he said. it was hoped to have
the examinations made yearly.
An appropriation was made to
cover the association pro rata share
of expenses incurred incident to the
recent opening of the Mount Pleasant
branch of the Public Library. The
association voted to adjourn until the
fourth Tuesday in September. P-csi-
dent George A. Kicker presided.

District Supreme Court for an injunc-
ton to prevent her husband, John II.

ly took the elder child, John Hale

trated, she ayers. Mrs. Smith asks

PROTECT DOGWOOD,
IS PLEA TO PUBLIC.
Flower Now Is in About
Three-Quarter Bloom,
P. L. Kicker Says.

The Towering dogwood, for the pro-
lection of which the SECOND annual
Spring campaign is being launched,
is now in about three-quarters bloom,
according to p. l.. Kicker, president
of the Wildfiower Preservation So
ciety of America.
In some warm spots where the
flowers have had enough sunshine and
moisture, Mr.. Kicker says, the blooms
have been reported as almost full. In
many nearby places, however, the
blossoms are not quite open.
The amount of dogwood which will
bedeck the Washington countryside
this year is. no doubt, larger titan if
the campaign had not been waged
last year. according to Mr.. Kicker,
who hopes that the public will re-

morning to tear up the old asphalt
pavement between V street and Flor
ida avenue preparatory TO repaVlng
the block. After a considerable por-
ton of the old surface had been re-
moved, Engineer Commissioner Bell
directed that the work be stopped be
cause of the noise in the Vici1lty or
the home of Secretary Weeks.
The stopping of work, however, LETT
the street in such condition that the
traffic could not pass and it became
necessary to detour nofthbound
vehicles by way of New Hampshire
and Florida avenues and southbound
vehicles by way OF Florida avenue
and Seventeenth street.
Realizing today the effect of con-
tinuing TO leave one block of this BUSY
thoroughfare closed for an extended
period of time. officials of the high
wav division decided to make the
street passa BILE by a temporary level
ing of the torn up stretch and to post
pone for the time being the complete
repaving of that block.
officials of the highway department
explained today that the block from
V street to Florida avenue was not
closed to traffic at the request of the
family of Secretary Weeks, but that
the closing was necessary because
work was halted to avoid the noise
of resurfacing in front of the Secre-
tary's home.

attached to any kind of automobile or
other conveyance and therefore could
not be classed as an automobile or a

farm PROSPERITY
Will help CITIES

WASHINGTON, D. according
to an extensive survey made by the
New York Times, business in the
United States is generally good and
is steadily improving, with very good
prospects for the coming winter.
The summary prepared by the
Times is made from reports received
from officials CT chambers of com
merce in thirty two cities scattered
at various points over the country,
and indicates that the Improvement is
the result Of a steady growth and has
none Of the attributes of a sudden and
unstable boom.
The summary states that the use Of
raw materials in cotton and wooden
mills is increasing, but that there is
prosperity on the farm as well as in
the cities. The drought in the South,
it is said, was not nearly so damag-
ing as was anticipated, hog and cattle
raisers over the country are in good
shape and the sheep raisers are not
complaining. Nebraska reports that
the farmers Of that state will receive
$23,000,O00 more for their crops this
year than in 1924 and the big corn
crop in the Middle West is bringing
business recovery there.
Pittsburgh reports the steel mar,
ket as looking up and Detroit says
that the automobile business is having
all it can do to keep up with the de-
mand.
The improvement this year in bus.
mess in general is attributed to the
improvement in agricultural condi
lions, and is additional evidence thai
the manufacturing regions cannct
have stable prosperity unless the
farmers are enjoying the same condi
ton.
