CITIZENS BODY HITS.
GARBAGE NUISANCE.
Lincoln Park Association
Urges Cooperation to AboI-
ish Two Plants.

BY unanimous vote the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association last night took
the first step toward organizing all
citizens associations of East Wash
ington, along both sides of the Ana
costa River, to fight against the burn
ing of city refuse at two points near
the river. William A. Carlin, secre-
tary of the Lincoln Park Association,
was directed to write to the Southeast,
Northeast, Trinidad, Randle High
lands and Anacostia Citizens Associa-
tions requesting them to join in the
formation of a joint committee to wait
upon the District Commissioners and
demand that the nuisance be abated." :"
Conditions Held DepIOrabIe.
Many members described the condi-
tions over wide area on both sides
of the Anacostia River as "deplorable. :"
They said the odor and smoke from
two burning dumps, one near Benning
and one near Congressional Cemetery,
would not be suffered for one day in
any city where citizens have voice
in the government. 1t was declared
that even during the hottest days Of
last Summer residents were com
PEELED to put down their windows to
keep out the stencil and smoke"
d. n. Edwards, a former president
of the association, said that efforts
have been made for the last Is years
to have the nuisance" abated, but
promises" were the only result.
when the wind, bringing the smoke
and stencil, is not blowing from the
Benning dump, it is blowing from the
cemetery dump" declared Harry G..
Kimball.
David Babp proposed that the three
hn IN
spend "a night in some house at the
eastern end of Pennsylvania avenue
nr in the vicinity of the Benning
dump with the windows Open"
Maybe we would get relief then"
said Mr.. Babp.
School Drill Ground Requested.
The association adopted a resolu-
ton requesting the Commissioners to
urge an appropriation to prepare a
drill ground near the Eastern High
School for the use of the cadets, and
another resolution urging an appro-
priation for the purchase of school
site near Seventeenth and G streets
southeast.
Mr.. Kimball suggested that the Ben
ming race track be used for an airport
while the proposed site at GraVelly
Point is being prepared. AS chairman
OF the committee on streets and ave-
nues, Mr.. Kimball reported that 80
blocks of paving had been lai din the

VAST FLOOD RELIEF
FAVORED BY NORRIS
Senator Sees Need of Quick
Action on Great Program
of Control.

6y ble Associated FTesSs
A vast program of flood control, en-.
comprising dams, irrigation and
hydro-electric power plants in the
States on the upper basin of the Mis-.
sissippi is favored by Senator Norris
in the Senate.
Recognizing that there must be re-
lief for the lower river States at the
coming session of Congress, Senator
Norris said he desired prompt action
for the replacement and strengthen
ing of levees wherever needed to curb
the Mississippi's torrent in the next
flood season.
Wants Complete Survey.
After that is done he wants a COM
mission appointed to study the whole
problem of control, involving not
alone the main river, but all of its
tributaries to the West, so that a
plan can be worked out whereby flood
waters can be retained at their sources
and harnessed there for irrigation and
power generation purposes.
much water flows through Colo
rado, Nebraska and other States" the
Senator said, "and it is needed there
for irrigation and power purposes. If
this water were put on the land 1t
would do much good in the upper
States instead of so much damage in
the lower States, as at present.
"By building dams at the sources OF
much of the flood water we could
utilize some it for the generation of
cheap hydro-electric power in some
places and at other places irrigation
systems could be worked out to the
great benefit of the surrounding
country"
FayOrs California Dam.
Senator Norris takes the view that
flood control generally should be ap-
preached as a great national problem
to be worked out along broad lines.
He favors construction of a dam in
Boulder Canyon for flood protection
for California's Imperial Valley and
for the generation of power.
The Nebraskan insists, however,
that any power plants built at this
or other dam sites be operated by
the Federal Government, so that cheap
power will be assured to the con-
sumers. He is hopeful that the Colo
RADIO River legislation can be enacted
at the coming session of Congress.
The Senator also hopes Muscle
Shoals can be taken care of at the
next session, thus disposing of a prob
lem that has vexed the House and
Senate for more than seven years.
He will insist on Government opera.
ton of the power plant there, as he
has in the past, and expects Congress
to enact a measure calling for such
operation.

COSGRAVE RETAINS
|R|SHPRES|DENCY
Executive Council Head Re-
elected by Majority of
Six Votes.
By the Associated Press.


DUBLIN, Irish Free State, October
12.-President William T. Cosgrave
has been reelected President of the
Irish Free State executive council by
the new Dali Eireann with majority
Of six over his opponents and now will
proceed to form his cabinet.
His nomination as President was op-
posed by members of the Fianna Fail
de Valera parity and Laborites. No
alternative nomination was made, how
ever, and Cosgrave, receiving the sup
port of six Farmers and IL Indepen-
dents, obtained an easy election.
Hayes Named Speaker.
Michael Hayes was reelected speak
er without opposition. Eamonn de Val
era, making his first speech in the
new Dali in Irish, protested that the
speakers salary of FL, 700 a year was
too much and announced that he
would later move it's reduction to
FL 900.
The first sitting was not sensational.
Sean O'Kelly, De Valera's chief lieuten-
ant, in opposing the reelection of Cos
grave, spoke in Irish, roundly denounc-
ing the whole Cosgrave administra-
tAOils 1CSltACIll grave SdI OppOSlICS
but as he is not an Irish scholar, he
could not understand what he was
hearing. Finance Minister Blythe,
however, passed to the President slips
of paper on which he had written a.
translation of O'Kelly's remarks.
The burden of O'Kelly's attack was
that the Cosgrave policy was respon-
sible for a great increase in emigra-
ton and at that the bulk of the $780,
900 emigrants driven out by the Cos
grave policy belong to the Kepubli-
can party.
COsgrave Defers Reply.
The opposition speakers also de-
nounced the public safety act. Blythe
in defending it said that the act was
necessary to prevent the "Balkani-
cation of Ireland"
Sean Lemass, De Valera director of
elections. said that the Fianna Fail
would not shirk the responsibility of
government if Cosgrave were de-
feated.
Though both De Valera and Labor
party leaders deny that there is any.
thing like an alliance between the
two, the Laborites voted solidIy with
De Valera, and close cooperation be.
tween these parties in the opposition
is considered certain.
Cosgrave did not attempt to take up
any of the opposition challenges in
yesterdays discussions. He contented
himself with observing that there
would be plenty of time for this in
the next five years. The opinion of
observers is that unless he presses
controversial legislation Cosgrave can
carry on for at least one year even
with his present small majority.

What DR.. Caldwell Learned
in AZ Years Practice

DIR. Caldwell watched the results
Of constipation for Al years, and
believed that no matter how care
full people are of their health, diet
and exercise, constipation will oc.
cur from time to time regardless
Of how much one tries to avoid it.
OF next importance, then. is how
to treat it when it comes. DR..
Caldwell always was in favor OF
getting as close to nature as pos
sible, hence his remedy for con-
stipation, known as DR.. CaldweIl's
Syrup Pepsin, Is a mild vegetable
compound. 1t can not harm the
most delicate system and is not q
habit forming preparation. Syrup
Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, aud
youngsters love it. 1t does not
grippe. Thousands of mothers have
written us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve Of
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu.
man beings to put into their sys-
tenn. In practice of AZ years he
never saw any reason for their use
when medicine like Syrup Pep
sin Will empty the bowels just rs
promptly. more cleanly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.
Keep free from constipation! It
robs your strength, hardens your
arteries and brings on premature
old age. Do not let a day go by
without a bowel movement. Do not
sit and hope, but go to a druggist
and get one Of the generous bottles
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsiz.
Take the proper dose that night
and by morning you will feel like
a different person. Use Syrup
Pepsin for yourself and members
