FULL APOLOGY
Or NOTHING,
IS STAND

Unless Capt. Robert Z. Doyle
makes a complete retraction u
his stand which led to charges
being preferred against him By
Major Henry G. Pratt. he viii go
on trial Monday without fail be-
fore a trial board composed Of
policemen.
Such is the intention Of the
District Commissioners with re-
gard to any attempts at concilia-
tion which may be advanced by
Captain Doyle's counsel, it was
learned at the District Building
today.
Second Letter Rej0c.3d
The text Of a, second letter
drafted by Doyle'S attorneys and
said to have been submitted to
Major Pratt and Corporation
Counsel william w. Bride, did
not pacify those officials, it was
reported. The Commissioners are
said to have upheld Pratt and
Bride in their stand.
One objection to peace over
! lures advanced by the officials
was the fact that they came at
such a late date-two weeks after
the charges. we're preferred and
just before the date set for Ooyle's
hearing.
Concessions Looked For
It was indicated, however, that
the postponement of the captains 8
trial until next Monday was
offered with the idea in mind
that Doyle's counsel might make
further concessions If they are
really seeking a truce.
Captain Doyle's counsel, how
ever. say that no apology viii be
offered, but only letter Of
Qualification" Of Doyle's stand.

PLAY
WITH DOLLS
ON FLOOR

Senator Norris, Of Nebraska,
playing with dolls and trying to
make them talk; other Senators
maneuvering tin soldiers: others
playing on French horns and even
piccolos.
These we're only a few of the
strange signs seen on the floor OF
the Senate today as the august
members of that body dropped
their dignity and indulged in a
premature Christmas celebration.
One of the features of the field day
occurred when Senator Vanden-
berg placed a large and sinister
looking bottle upon the desk o:
Senator Brookhart, who yesterday
regaled the grand jury with an ac,
count of a Wall Street booze
party"
Brookhart was not in the Cham
Der at the time, and the bottle
was removed before he returned.
All of the toys and other arti,
tIes were concentrated on a large
table in the rear of the Republi-
can side of the chamber. So pro
iuSe were the trinketS that Sena-
tor Barkly arose after the Senate
convened and asked "by what
authority has WoolWorth'S moved
into the Senator"
Senator AshurSt, who was
speaking, facetiously answered
that Coming at the time that
it does, the record might indi-
cate that the Senator's remarks
apply to me-"
Barkley, promptly and laugh
ingly, denied any such intent. :
Although the articles caused
much merriment, they were on
the floor for a very serious pur-
pose. They formed an exhibit Of
1O3 imported articles, which. the
Republicans say, show the neceS-
sity for a high protective tariff
Upon some of the articles, &C
cording to Republican Senators,
the foreign producer makes a
profit of as much as 1000 per
cent. This is due to the differ
ence in cost of production abroad
and in the United States, they
said.

Sullivan is a distinctive per-
sonality. He has a rudy,
pink complexion, keen gray
blue eyes and a lot of white
hair and is a quick observer and
quick of movement. And then
again, Sullivan is particular
about his hats. He is espe.
cially fond of straw hats and
wore this sort of headgear long
after the rest of humanity had
shed them. After a straw hat
comes the black derby hat which
has the vogue with him now.

WILL ASK
BIGGER
FUND

Speeding up of the gigantic
Government building program in
the District through doubling the
appropriation available for this
purpose annually is being con-
sidered by the Senate Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds.
Senator Henry w. Keyes of
New Hampshire, chairman of the
committee, today revealed plans
for expediting the construction
program. Under the plans it is
hoped to do two years work in
one on the Triangle project and
also to expedite other Govern
ment building programs in the
city.
Going Well
AS the date for convening Of
the regular session Of Congress
approaches the committee chair
man is holding a series of con-
ferences with Treasury officials
to consider ways and means of
promoting the 5000, 900, 600 build
ing program.
Senator Keyes expressed salts
faction with the progress which
has already been made, pointing
out that the Internal Revenue
Building is far ahead of schedule
and that work on the new Depart
ment of Commerce Building is
proceeding according to plans.
1t is the progress which has
already been made which has con-
firmed the Senator's view that now
is the time to "get the ball rolling
q little faster"
One of the first things which
the committee will consider next
month, the Senator stated. is the
new Supreme Court Building.
New Bill Ready
Land opposite the Capitol has
already been appropriated for this
purpose and plans for the build
ing have been approved by
special commission. Senator Keyes
said that a bill embodying the re-
port of the commission and'autho-
rizing an appropriation will be
submitted by the commission at
once, and when it is faVorably
acted upon an appropriation will
be asked in the first appropriation
bill. 1t is estimated that the Su-
preme Court building will cost
about $40 600 600.
The committee has apparently
solved the automobile parking
problem, at least for members
Of the Senate. They are provid-
ing, with plans for the develop
ment of the Capitol plaza, for
an underground garage with a
capacity of 200 cars. This will
be used by Senators only, it is
understood.
Another bill to be considered by
the committee provides for the
purchase of a lot at First and B
Streets Southwest, which will
allow for developments in that
direction.

Never bribe q child for being good
BE good, Johnny, and I'll give you
nickle for candy" Can you imag-
Inc anything more atrocious?
Be good! What does anyone mean
by "be good"? Even If q parent has
some clear cut notion of what he
means, child hasn't. His idea of
being good" is as nebulous as the
moon on foggy night. It might
mean, don't waken the baby" don't
sneak penny out Of your bank, .
don't ask questions when I'm busy
don't do this, that" Johnny isn't
going to take himself to task and de-
liberate over what it means. He'll
promise-certainly-in order to get
the nickel, and he hasn't the slightest
idea Of what it's all about.
Idea Is All Wrong
But suppose you say, Don't waken
the baby and I'll give you a nickel" I"
There Johnny has a definite idea, of
course. He at least knows what he's
being paid for. Even so, the idea is
all wrong.

something that he should do anyway
with reasonable explanation and un-
derstanding, you are simply drilling
hole in the dyke. Before you know

avalanche you cannot stop.
Johnny will hold that bribe over

without end, Amen. II behaving is
so difficult and unjust a thing that
it has to be paid for, why then it
must be pretty hard thing indeed.
Too hard for him to bother with

He begins to look on obedience and
good conduct as, not normal, but alb
normal things.

likely will change quality, but not
character.

THE PRINCES SERVICE

The Prince Of Wales has his nation better

ing areas
It makes weird fascinating picture this tale OF the
prince investigating poverty There is the boyis slender
heir to the throne lonely and ILL., stalking down muddy
streets between tumbe-down shacks while underfed.
hopeless people stand in doorways to what message
the next king of England has for the depths The
trip making all Of England the picture focusing
attention accumulation Of misery that had gone
too long unheeded.
There is not great deal of hope for many of these
British miners There whole villages where no one
has worked for months: where every inhabant lives
the government dole dependent charity for every bite
OF food and of cothig where mines have
shut down long that weeds have grown the Stag
heaps by the pit heads; where houses have been aban
doned never to be reoccuped again.
All Of this has been true for quite while and England
has known about 1t in hazy sort of way but took the
princes visit to impress the facts the general public
Whatever is eventually done to relieve the Distress much
Of 1t will be due to the princes visit.
This OF course does not touch very closely on this
side of the Atlantic But the underlying principle is
worth looking at, whether you live England or Colo
RADIO.
England not the only country that has had fostering
but refused to look at them ostrich habit of
ouyng the head IN the sand and ignoring all unpleasant
sights is common in the New World as in the Old
In the United States for instance there are plenty Of
things that would shock unuteraby If we would look
at them steadily.
Our own coal miners. as it happens have troubles of
their own In Pennsylvania there mining towns
where conditions nearly bad they are in Eng
land,
We have city sluns too, where vice and crime and
misery exist In degree to make the angels weep We
have certain textile manufacturing towns where hunger
and unemployment are familiar veryday acquaintances
to most Of the inhabitants We have agricultural regions
where honest industrious have seen poverty come
upon them through no fault Of their own.
But we don't get excited about any of these things In
vague way we know that they exist but we don't do
anything about it. We haven't been Jared into activity
Perhaps 1t would be good thing for us If we had
young prince who could open eyes to few things
We always have good Intentions but too often takes
catastrophe to get us into action.
