4 LOSS TO BUSINESS

The L. s. post office department is authority for the statement that conceited business firms which do not give their complete addresses in their advertisements cause the gov ernment to spend s5,000,o00 a year in directing their delayed mail. And 8 good deal of it goes to the dead letter office; in fact, 25,0OO,0 900 let ters a year reach that haven of rest and peace. That being the case one is inclined to ask how much busi- ness these firms lose. It must amount to much moro than the costs to the government. The object of the firms is to give the impression that even in New York or Chicago we are SO well known that the post office department has no trouble in finding us' II is a costly kind of conccit. The firms are throwing away business.

CITIZENS ARGUE
OVER SCHOOLS

A sharp discussion of the Dis
trict public school situation took
place last night at a meeting of
the Anacostia Citizens AsSocia-
ton, following the charge by
James G. Yaden that results of
the schools are not satisfactory.
Yaden declared that. in spite
of increasing expenditures for
schools. there were still schools
where half the available space is
not filled, schools built in sec
tions where they are not needed.
and "a poor showing all around
in the way of results" He added
that before Congress can be per-
suaded to appropriate more
money for the schools I'VE have
got to make a much better show
ing"
George C. Havenner, president
of the association, took sharp
issue with the speaker, declaring
that in the last fiVe-year school
building program AnacoStia got
about half as much as any other
section of the CITY," and adding
that the section needs at least
two new schools and can obtain
them through cooperation.
Portable buildings were attack
ed by DR.. E. E. Richardson, Of
George Washington University,
who declared them to be danger
Gus, especially, in a strong wind.

CUDD|HY PLANE
PIECES SOUGHT

In the hope of determining the
cause of the crash last week Of
an English plane in which the
pilot, Lieut.. George Cuddihy
chief of the Navy,s test fliers,
was killed, the Navy Department
yesterday asked Washington resi-
dents and newspapers to look for
fragments of an airplane around
their neighborhood.
A part of an ailerOn board has
been found in a street more than
mile away from the Anacostia
Air Station where the plane
crashed. This piece was returned
to naval authorities and was iden-
titled as part of Cuddihy'S ship.
AS a result of this incident.
Comdr. A. H. Douglas, of the air
station, issued the request. It is
believed that structural failure
caused the accident and a special
board of inquiry is investigating.

division of the Department of
Agriculture will outline plans
for the sale of half-turkeyS, an
economic step that should put

today.
Roy c. Potts, chief of the
dairy and poultry division of
the bureau of agricultural eco

consumption Of one person 1T
one meal is estimated at six

Bills to Aid Business to be Ready for New Session
FRAUD WILL Be
MADE MORE
DIFFICULT

Legislation regarded as Of vital
interest to real estate dealers, Sc.
curity brokers, bankers and busi.
ness men generally is being pre-
pared now for introduction ct the
session Of Congress which con.
venes Monday.
The bills which are being
rushed to completion in order to
have them ready for presenta ton
shortly after the session opens are
designed primarily to protect the
investor against unscrupulous
persons, but they will also have
the effect of protecting business
men against those who. using
trickery and fraud engage in the
same business.
Progress Steady
The measures are being drafted
by o. H. Brinkman, forlnerly
clerk Of the Senate District Com.
mittee but now engaged in the
practice of law here. He has
been retained by subcommittee
Of the District Committee. headed
by Senator Blaine of Wisconsin,
to draft the bills.
BrinkmaE reported today that
he is making steady progress in
the work of preparing the three
measures which it is felt are most
desirable
These bills cover deals in mort
cages. transactions in real estate.
and a So-called blue sky law
covering fraudulent securities.
According to Brinkman, he Will
not have completed drafting OF
the bills until the middle OF
December, when they will be re-
ported to Senator Blaine's sub
committee.
To License Agents
It is expected that shortly after
consideration of the bills by the
subcommittee, they will be intro
duced in the Senate, 1t is pos
sible that the Subcon n1ittee may
decide to hold public heari1 gs on
he measures before reporting
them to the Senate.
Nevertheless it is expected that
they will be ready for submission
by the time the Senate gets
around to consideration OF mat
ters other than the tariff and the
Ware case.
One phase of the bills being
drafted by Brinkman is covered IN
a bill already introduced by Sens
tor Capper, which would regulate
the real estate business in the Dis
trict and provide for the licensing
of agents and dealers. Capper is
not expected to press his measure
until the Blaine committee has
had an opportunity to report It's
