bureau for the District of Columbia,
and urged the passage by Congress

effective where 'policewomen serve
in q unit as a women's bureau
with a woman director"

resolution indorsing the bill in Con-
gress for the building of national
highway between Washington and
Mt. Vernon.
Another resolution, dealing with
immigration, was adopted urging

in the country"
