CONTEST
NEAR END

Only two more days left to enter
The Times Brown of Harvard"
essay contest.
At 10 p. m. tomorrow the con.
test will close, so, if you haven't
sent your essay in to the Contest
Editor, do so at once.
The idea is this:
The Times is offering 800 in
cash to the boy who writes the
best essay on the subject, why Go
to College?" and the same amount
is offered to the girls.
The idea was suggested by the
Metro Goldwyn Mayer pic tn r e,
Brown of Harvard" featuring
William Haines, Mary Brian and
Jack Pickford, now playing at
Loew's Palace Theater.
Brown, in the picture, is a col
lege boy. And he isn't particu-
larly bad boy, but he gets not
nearly so much out of college life
as many people think he could have
got.
We want to know what our col
lege students think about our col
leges, and what those who are in
our high schools, faced with the
question of going to college or go
ing TO WOrk-WndL L1Sy IulAh
about it.
What phase of college life should
be strengthened or cut out entirely?
What phase of college life should
be developed or stressed?
1t is a vital problem, a problem
which will be greatly clarified by
the opinions Of our young people.
Remember-10O words, at the
most. OF course, you can't take
up all sides of the problem in so
little space, but you can pick out
some of the most important ele-
ments Of the problem.
The contest is open to any boy
or girl who attends any Washing
ton college or high school. There
are no conditions for entering. Just
think the thing out-and then write
it out.
The judges for the contest are
Prof. Henry Grattan Doyle, George
Washington University; DR.. George
r. Dewitt, headmaster of Dewitt
Preparatory School, and Dean
Laura Halsey, Washington College
of Law.
It's a big thing. Think it over.
TIN help you personally, and it may
mean 500. Send your essay in to
the Contest Editor at once.
The winners will be announced
in Saturdays Times.

b ROBERT s. THoRNBURGH

By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
With a sharp rebuke to the
Treasury Department, Comptroller
General J. R. McCarl today re-
fused to lift a ban established
sometime ago against the use of
prohibition appropriations for the
hire of automobiles employed in
dry scouting forays.
In response to a request from
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
that suspensions in the accounts
of prohibition administrators COW
ering automobile hire be lifted,
McCarl declared that such action
would be contrary to the law.
Thousands Must Be Paid
Accounts amounting to thousands
Of dollars for motor hire have been
suspended. He placed the entire
responsibility upon the Treasury
Department, declaring that mot
withstanding decisions from this
office, the unauthorized practice
appears 10 nave at ACoSN
until recently"
McCarl added that the fact that
Congress has authorized the use
Of prohibition appropriations for
1927 "for hire OF passenger carry
ing vehicles cannot operate to
legalize payments from other APP
preparations which do not contain
such authorization
In requesting that McCarl APP
prove expenditures already made
for dry auto hire Secretary Mellon
pointed out that the use Of motor
cars by prohibition agents is i'm
portant in law enforcement work.
THE prohibition unit is making
every effort to discontinue the hire
and use of automobiles for the
present fiscal year" Mellon said.
Dry officials declared that Nc
CarI's decision has handicapped
seriously law enforcement opera
tons.
They said that in many stations
there are not sufficient confiscated
automobiles to meet the demand
and in order to run down boot
leggers it has been necessary to
hire machines.

his personal bond taken on the

New Hope Council Considers Boro
Questions

New Hope-At the monthly meet
ing of the Boro Council last week
Chief Burgess r. C. Magill submit
ted several problems for their APP
proval. DR.. Magill pointed out that
the boro is regularly invaded by out
of-town solicitors who collect funds
for various and sundry objects, some
of them good, but most of them I'M
known. He asked that regulations be
adopted forbidding all soliciting
without permits from the Council
DIR. Magill says that nothing is
known about these out-of-town sol
icitors, and their objects may be
unworthy of support. For all that is
known the solicitors may be but
panhandlers who are pocketing all
they collect. He advocated that their
authority and connections be in
vestigated before they are allowed
to ask contributions of the local pub
lie
Dr. Magill also reported several
cases of neglect in the Boro which
are being investigated by the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. These and other cases
which are likely to prove public
burden are to be handled firmly but
kindly, and the Council members as
sured DIR. Magill of their backing
in his efforts to work out solutions
to these problems.

MAINS AT STOCKTON CHURCH

Rev. Alexander G. Graham, pas
tor of the Stockton and Sandy

sidered his decision to go to the
Newton Baptist Church, as announc-
ed in this paper recently. Mr.. Gra-
hams work in his present pastor
ates has resulted in such gratifying
growth and he has made so many
friends, that his decision to accept
the Newton call brought protests
from not only his own members,
but from other churches in the COM
munity, including the Catholics, who
urged that he remain.
AS a result of the many express
sions of confidence and friendship
given him, Mr.. Graham has declin-
ed the Newton pastorate and is to
continue with the Stockton and
Sandy Ridge Churches. AS testi-
monial of appreciation an increase
of salary was made, and his good
work will continue.
