We wish it understood that per-

football manager for the failure Of
another team over which he has no
control. to put in an appear
anee for q scheduled game. The crit
icism voiced in this column yester-
day Of the Blues vas that of the
Pawnees and not Of the Herald

Manager William Mays position. 10

to blame II the Meridcn Mohicans
failed to play the game last Sunday.
The view taken by the manager Of

its contents. Should our correspond

would be glad to print his answer.

BAN ON PARKING
MENACE ASKED

The Rhode Island Avenue Cti
zens' Association is on record to-
day opposing what was termed at
last nights meeting, "city wide
violation of the ordinance against
9O-degree angle parking"
A resolution was adopted, asking
enforcement of the ordinance, and
holding that trucks and other We
hicles parked at right angles to
the curb constitute a traffic men
ace. A resolution also was adopted
urging a law to require all prac-
titioners Of the various healing
arts to be required to demonstrate
knowledge of basic sciences, such
as anatomy, physiology, chemistry
pathology and bacteriology.
The association endorsed loca-
ton at Twenty-sixth and Newton
Streets Northwest as, second choice
as a site for the proposed junior
high school to be erected in their
community. This action was taken
on receipt Of information that the
site of their first choice, Eighteenth
Street near Irving, could not be
purchased at the figure authorized
by law.

MEMORIAL DAY
A|DFOR GAR.

The ranks of G. A. r. veterans
in Washington are thinning so
rapidly that they no longer are
able to pay the cost of decorating
the graves in Arlington Cemetery
on Memorial Day.
For that reason the Senate Pen
sions Committee today reported
favorably a measure appropriating
50 900 for this purpose. 1t is prob
able Congress will enact the leg
islation without opposition.
Senator Robinson, Of Indiana, who
reported the bill, states that the
G. A. r. veterans in the District
annually here raised a $4,000 fund
for the purpose of placing floral
tributes in the various local Gene
teries where their dead comrades
are buried,
In the past few years, however,
it has become increasingly difficult
for the veterans to contribute this
sum because many of them have
passed away. Senator Robinson
believes that the Federal Govern
ment should carry the. burden in
the future,

was augmented by the month-end
Tightening up of the money market
in preparation for the April quar-
