GOOD YEAR

Nineteen twenty nine Is to be a

ness, President Coolidge was told
today by Barron Collier, New York
capitalist.
Despite local weaknesses in vari-
Gus sections, there will be a general
and healthy advance for all bust
ness men, Collier declared, as he
gave the Chief Executive the first
copy of his survey of the national
commercial trend and his forecast
for the coming year.
There is a certain uneaSiness over
"unreStrancd speculation" in stocks.
according to Mr. Collier. who says
that many funds are being used in
these operations which ought to he
employed for local commercial de-
velopment. Real estate is off in
many communities, due to this
speculative tendency. he said.
The Collier survey covers $500
communities, and is nationwide. Most
large cities are prosperous, there is
little general unemployment, and
farmers are applying their earnings
est spots in the country are in the
coal regions and part of the lum-
Der. fruit and vineyard sections.
No political question is agitatins

finds-not even farm relief and
prohibition. The country wants a
rest from this sort Of thing, and is
disposed to give President.elect Hoo.

PAY FATE HANGS
ON NEW BILL

The fate of Federal pay legislat ton
in this session of Congress depends
largely upon the nature of the bill
to be introduced within a day or two
by Representative Frederick r. Lehl-
bach of New Jersey, chairman of the
House Civil Service Committee.
If the Lehlhach bill is along the
lines of the Brookhart bill already
introduced and approved by the
Civil Service Committee in the Sen
ate there will be a good chance of
'enacting some legislation during
this session.
But if the Lehlbach measure is
radically different from the Brook
hart proposal it will result in a
conflict between the two with lit.
tie disposition on either side to COM
promise and therefore a deadlock
probably will develop which will be
fatal to the chances of any legisla-
ton of that kind.
There are many reasons to be-
lieve that the Lehtbach bill will not
be materially different from the
Brookhart measure.
For one thing tkey are both de.
signed to correct the same situation.
For another thing, both Brook
hart and Lehlhach have been ad-
vised by the same expert, William
H. McReynolds, of the Bureau Ct
Efficiency.
McReynolds has recommended to
Lehlbach the introduction of bill
similar to Brookhart's.' Lehlbach has
not announced whether he has
adopted McReynold's recommenda-
tons or not.
He has announced however, that
he is opposed to the Brookhart
proposal, so it is fairly certain that
his bill will have at least minor
differences.

z BANKS NO
LONGER TO
GET DC.
. CHECKS

Discontinuance of the use OF
two local banks for depositing
checks received by the District
Government for taxes or other
obligations was ordered by
Comptroller General j. r,
McCarl.
In a decision on an inquiry made
by the District Commissioners, Nc
Carl ruled that Collector of Taxes
Chatham Towers was acting illeg-
ally in failing to deposit daily with
the Treasurer of the United States
all tax checks received by his
office.
The present practice is to deposit
the checks in one of the two banks
used, receiving from that bank on
the following day New York
draft, in return for a check drawn
by the collector of taxes for the full
amount of the deposit.
The drafts are deposited at the
Treasury. The deposits at present
are made in the District National
Bank and the FederaI-American
National Bank, on alterna ting days
IF any of the personal checks
should be dishonoreC when pre-
scented to the banks on which they
are drawn" McCarl pointed out
"the depositing bank is reimbursed
therefor. In other words. handling
the checks in this way is no as
surance that the amounts deposited
with the Treasurer of the United
States may not later be reduced
if any of the checks should he dis
honored."
He stated that the law clearly
provided that the checks should be
sent direct to the Treasury without

VIOLATION
Of ZON|NC
LAWS

The District Government
was handed a severe jolt in
its attempt to erect a fire
engine house at Sixteenth
Street and Colorado Avenue,
when the Court of Appeals
today reversed the opinion of
the District Supreme Court in
refusing to enjoin the District
Commissioners with proceed
ing with the construction.
Henry /. Quinn, local attorney,
who resides in the 1900 block Gal
latin St. and four other property
owners in the vicinity of the site
of the proposed fire engine house,
applied for an order in the District
Supreme Court to restrain the cree
ton Of the fire house. Quinn held
that building a fire house in that
locality was in violation of the Zon-
ing regulations which had desig.
mated that portion of the city for
exclusively residential purposes. "
Violates ZOning Law
The higher court today held that
the erection of the fire house on
the proposed site did violate the
coming regula tions and further i'm
paired the rights of the general
public to perpetually enjoy the
benefits of Rock Creek Park as a
place of recreation.
In a lengthy opinion, Associate
Justice Josiah Van Orsdel reached
the heart of the matter by declar-
ing:
while it furnishes headquarters
and housing for the men and equip
ment used in the public fire service
to protect the safety and property
of the public at large, it is not such
an agency that the protection and
safety afforded is dependent upon its
location at any particular point"
Appeal Case
Following the action of the District
Supreme Court in dismissng the petit
ton for injunction. the plaintiffs in
the case had appealed to the higher
court for temporary order to restrain
the District government with pro
Ceeding with the erection of the fire
house pending completion of their
appeal.
The plaintiffs were represented by
Attorneys Henry l. Quinn and
George Sullivan.
Bride Will Appeal
The District will carry the case
to the United States Supreme Court
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride announced after learning of
the decision of the appeals court.
If this decision, and other de-
cisions recently handed down by the
courts restricting the Districts
power to establish municipal
agencies in residential districts, are
TO be followed to their logical con.
rlusion. obviously the territories now
growing up will be without fire
protection" Bride said
we should be compelled to so
ont far into the country. where
there are no neighbors to protest,
before we could find a place to set
M an engine house. This would
defeat our purpose as the time
taken by the engines to reach the
scenes Of fires would be so great as
to nullify the protection they are
supposed to afford"
Bride bases his appeal on the
grounds that Congress has the right
TO undo what it has done and was
therefore justified in setting aside
the land for a fire engine house.

LONDON, Nov. 2l. -- Among the passenger pilots oI the aviation world there are many, no doubt. who will envy E. H. Fielden his job.
 Flelden has been appointed per- sonal pilot to the Prince of Wales. The choice fell on him only after scores of picked airmen of the royal air force reserve had been considered for this highly respon- sible post.
 It is up to Fielden to see that the heir to the British throne flies in safety when he rides the clouds in his newly-built private plane, a two-seater with dual control.
 Fielden is 26 years old and has had unusually wide flying experi- ence in Great Britain, on the conti- nent and in Africa. Last March he was awarded the air force cross for distinguished peace time flying.
 The princes new plane is de- luxe affair with inflatable red up- holstery in the cockpits and trick compartments for the storage of baggage, sticks and the like.
 The exterior is finished in cherry red and bright blue, while the nose of the ship is aluminium.
 While the Prince is said to be excellent progress as a pilot he does not contemplate taking out an official pilots license.
 When he chooses to fly in an air force plane instead of his own he will be piloted by Squadron Leader D. s. Don, with whom he has often flown.

 As complete house in single set, this has probably never been exceeded for simple beauty. Studio attaches regretted the necessity of tearing it down after the comple- tion of the picture, so livable did the mansion appear. Tn contrast are scenes in a notorious gambling house.
 The exceptional cast assembled for "Hardboiled Rose" includ e S Myrna Loy, William Collier, Jr, John Milan, Gladys Brockwell, Ed ward Martindel, Lucy Beaumont and others.

THE FOURFLUSHER"
 AT PALACE FRIDAY

To be discovered. lost for four years and then discovered again has been the rather difficult lot of the magnetic Hayder Stevenson. who will be seen at the Palace Theatre on Friday, in "The Four fluSher."
 Stevenson was a stage actor for 20 years and decided to try motion pictures, getting his start in 'The Leather Pushers in 1922. Steven sons success in the series was near ly as great as Reginald Dennys.
 He played one more important role and then dropped out of the limeligllt. For four years he got just enough work to keep alive.
 Then Carl Laemmle happened to meet the workless player. That ended his poverty After appearing in '9The Co1legians" he was starred in a super-serial, Blake of Scot land Yard" and is now featured in "The Fourflusher." There is no danger of his slipping back this time.
 George Lewis and Marian Nixon are costarred in "The Fourflusher."

 Consequently, J. P. McEvoy, witty author of Show Girl" the story on which the First National picture at the Palace for the last times tonight, is based, is one of the most serious persons alive.

 It is an Alfred Santell produe- tion, with Donald Reed, Charles Delaney, Lee Moran, Kate Price, Gwen Lee, James Finlayson, Rich ard Tucker and others in the cast.

Although the Fox Movietone pro- duction, "Speakeasy' is an all-talk ing picture, there are many tune ful moments furnished by virtue Of Sharon Lynns vocal talents and Henry B. Walthall's piano playing which are important parts in the relating of the story.
 A great deal of action takes place in one of New York's world famous thirst quenching places and Miss Lynn portrays the character of Maizie, entertainer, and Walthall takes the role of Fuzzy, piano play CT in the same joint"
 There are several decidedly new twists to the story and the sing ing of Miss Lynn and the piano playing of MT. Walthall are wov- en into two highly dramatic epi- sodes which are nerve -tingling when they reveal on the screen of the Coliseum Theatre.
