Time Lack Bans Measures;
Blaine Group to Meet Dec. 4;
Sen. Capper Issues Warning

Congress will convene Monday
with the prospect that little legis-
lation affecting the District will
be enacted before the Seventy
first Congress adjourns sine die
three months hence.
But the fact that the outlook
is dark so far as it relates to ac-
tual passage of bills is concerned
does not mean that the conclud'
ing session of the Congress will be
neglectful of it's foster child
Washington.
On the contrary, both Senate
and House are expected to devote
a great deal of attention to the
city and it's problems.
Increase Held Due
OF primary Importance, will
be the annual appropriation bill,
carrying funds for the operation
and maintenance of the local
government during the next fiscal
year. It is expected by those in
touch with the situation that the
bill to be enacted this winter will
carry a larger appropriation than
ever made before for the District.
Last year, the bill carried pproX-
imately S44, 900, 900 and this year
the estimates submitted by the
District Commissioners to the
Budget Bureau amounted to about
$48,000,000.
Appropriations which have met
the approval of the Budget Btu
reau will be made known early
next week when the annual
budget is submitted to the two
houses of the Congress.
Actual work of preparing the
District Appropriation Bill viii
not get under way until after the
first of the year, however.
Blaine Group to Meet
Senate and House District Com
mittees willg ct down to work on
the legislative program early in
the session, probably a few days
after the Congress convel!es
Monday.
The subcommittee Of the Sen
ate committee which, under SEN
ator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin,
has been investigating the real
estate and mortgage situation In
the District will meet Thursday
to decide on it's future program.
A special House committee
under Representative Carl Mapes
of Michigan will meet at once to
attempt to find a solution of the
vexatious problem Of fiscal rela.
tions between the District and
Federal governments. =.
The Senate will not participate
in this investigation, but its mem
bers are expected to follow the in.
quiry closely for its effect on the
lengthy dispute between the two
Houses.
The Senate, in a spirit Of
liberality to the District, has in
| SlSCeQ on larger f6Qerdl COuCEI'
button than $4,000, 900, last year
forcing the House to agree to
$9,500,000.
Exhaustive Discussion
The Mapes committee will go
into the entire matter exhaustive
ly, and if the Senate regards its
findings as fair, it is probable that
the recommendations of the com.
mittee will govern fiscal relations
for many years.
Senator Arthur Capper, chair.
man of the Senate District Com.
mittee. has already warned Dis
trict officials and the city's friends
in general that they cannot expect
to get much legislation through in
the coming session.
He is understood personally to
favor the clearing up of important
bills pending in committees and
both houses rather than the intro
duction of a swarm Of new legis-
lation.

Records on the docket at the
Harbor Police Precincto and state
ments of Lieut.. Edward T. Horney,
commander of the harbor police,
accuse Capt. Frank Giannoni of
being river pirate.
On June 10, last, Captain Clan
noni, a former lieutenant in the
Austrian Navy and now captain
Of a converted subchaser he pur-
chased from the United States,
filed suit against the United
Estates asking 30,000\damages on
Q claim that he had been wretch
edly treated" by the United States
Coast Guard.
Police Robbed
Recently the Harbor police were
notified that someone had been
breaking into boats anchored in
the Washington Channel and TAX
ping electrical appliances and other
articles. About the same time
someone broke into the District
police property store place at
twelfth and Water SITS. and stole
batteries and automobile parts
vallled at $75.
Under command of Lieutenant
Hprney, men connected with the
Harbor Police, after an intensive
search, visited Giannoni's con-
Vi rted suochaser on Monday and
fQ und aboard it the articles
stolen from the police property
place and many other things re-
ported to have been taken from
boats.
!, Today Lieutenant Horney said
he formally charged Giannoni
with the larceny of tools and
lumber from a boat that Capt.
Frank Flynn, of 800 Maryland
Ave. N. E.. was building near the
channel. The stolen articles were
valued at SIS.
Arrested Monday
Giannoni was arrested Monday
and detained at the Fourth pre-
cinct without formal charges Ee-
ing lodged against him. Yester-
day he was taken sick and sent
, to Gallinger Hospital. Lieutenant
Horney said he will be arraigned
next week at Police Court and
that in addition to the Flynn
charges he will then he charged
with stealing electrical apparatus
from the boat of Robert Malsten,
1926 B st. N. W.. as we'll as the
theft of goods from the police

The Austrian came to Wash
ington on his converted subchaser
In June, 1929, and has been here
since, living on his boat. Many
times he said he was near starVa-
ton.

+ T He told then that, a year be-
fore, he had put into Moorehead
City, N. c., to escape a storm. He
said the Coast Guard charged
him with failing to register at
the customs house at Moorehead
City, despite the fact there is no
customs house there. He said
that his clearance papers were
held up for IA months, leaving
him unable to ply his trade.
He said that it was only with
the greatest difficulty and after
spending his savings of $4,000
that he managed to pay off his
crew and make his way to Wash
ington channel. He charged in
his suit that the Coast Guaro
towed his boat to Beaufort, NC,
where a large hole was stove in
its bottom, due to the careless
manner in which it was stranded
there.
; Lieutenant Horney said that he
was told that the Coast Guard
detained Giannoni because he was
suspected of smuggling whisky
Sand Chinese into the United
States. He said the Austrian was

time we hear the rat-a-tat of the

guess that every hour the average
New Yorker Is stirred this way by
as many alarming noises as the
hardest hunter in prehistoric days
was in his entire lifetime.
DR.. Wynne declares that while
harmful results Of constant noise
may not be readily visible in Wig
orous persons, 1t creates a differ
ent pulse tempo, an increased rate
of breathing and unnecessary &C
tivity Of certain glands, which CAN
not help being harmful.
That noise is really injurious, the
commissioner continues, is shown
by the fact that one of the first
principles of healing discovered
centuries ago, was that patients
must have quiet.
'NoiseleSs machinery will come in

people themselves realize the dan
ger of increasing noises, serious con-
sequences may result within a few

NEW YORK, April 18.-NoiSes Of

Health Commissioner Shirley w.

Noise, he declares, produces a

natural that children who have
spent most of their lives under con-

will be more ready to fight and less

Capitalism System;
Demand Change.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, April 49, - A drastic
revolution in window displays, soap
wrappings, shop signs and all other
industrial art is being demanded by
an influential portion Of the Soviet
press.
Industry here is presumably on
a Socialistic basis, yet its labels ara
wrappers and advertising and store
decorations follow the capitalist ira
dition, certain writer's, including
well-known artists, complain.
Out Of Place
What business has the new
Soviet civilization with nymphs,
naked ladies, swaIlow-tailed gen.
tlemen, essence Of roses" and other
such things.
Yet over dressed figures stand
around in government shop win
dows like idle rich in an elegant
drawing room.
Buxom overfed angels float on the
paper coverings Of state-made face
powders and cold creams.
All of it is an imitation Of bour-
geois advertising. an expression Of
capitalist ideals OF comfort and ele-
gance.
Thus runs the argument The
government soap and perfume trust,
''Tezhe," is the principal target for
attacks.
Izkustvo and other art magazines
carry pages OF reproductions Of per-
fume bottle labels, soap wrappings,
etc, to show that the trust Is only
initiating Paris and New York
manufacturers instead of providing
new proletarian eXteriors.
Millions in Homes
'sThe most widely circulated lit
erature in our country" one irate
artist writes, ~are these very soap
wrappings. Millions of them reach
every home in the land every
week.
What sort Of life does it preach
TO them?
Just look at the names-Heart'S
Delight, Cream of Love, Marie
AntOinette, Horrors! Thrice hor-
rorSi"
The Moscow department stores,
too, have come in for q large share
Of the abusive campaign.

This great medicine OF 80 In
gradients was not designed to
afford mere temporary relief. 1t
strikes far more deeply than that
and attacks the very causes Of ills
OF the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels, and rheumatism, neuritiS
and nervousness. There are thou
sands of men and women Of all
ages who have eagerly endorsed and
praised this super-medicine because
of the relief that 1t has brought to
them. Now comes Mrs. Sadie Sui
grove, Route No. l, Edgewood, near
indianapolis. The Konjola Man, at
the Hook dependable drug store,

diAnapoliS, is prepared to tell you
about Konjola. 1t is well for all
sufferers who have been oaffled In
their search for health to see him at
once. Here is what Mrs. Sulgrove
said TO The Konjola Man about her
case:
It suffered with a painful ailment
Of the stomach and kidneys for
eight years. Try as would, could
find no relief from my troubles. Ac-
cumulated stomach gases after the
simplest meal bloated me until the
cramping pains were frightful and I
became short of breath and dizzy.
I had severe back pains and fire.
quent bladder actions. My feet
and ankles became so swollen that
was forced to go to bed where
remained nearly helpless for three
months. I seemed TO grow worse
instead of better with each treat
ment CT medicine I tried.
Il had little faith in any medicines
but BY the time / had completed my
nth bottle of Konjola I was so i'm
proved in health that / left my bed
and began to get about again. Ny
stomach scarcely ever troubles me noH
and NY kidEdys are functioning per-
fectly. / no longer have dizzy spells
and headaches. The swelling has COM
pletely left my feet and ankles and
neither give me any pain or incon-
venience. Bladder actions are normal
and my nerves are in better condition
than they have been in years. In fact
my general health is 80 improved that
I am enjoying life ard my work IL no
longer drudgery."
There is a real lesson 10 be learned
from these grateful endorsements. Why
not give KonjOla chance in your
easel The expense is inconsiderable
and there is much reason for hope.

Home Industries and How They
Are Projected

The slogan Of the republican party and the re-
publican administration that high tariffs are neces-
sary for the protection Of American manufacturing.
American money and American labor.
Texas has a vast army Of small investors and wage
workers engaged in the petroleum industry. They
are known as independents. They compete with for
eign labor. Foreign crude is on the free list and
the senate Of Texas, Is TO Z. voted that the Texas
independents in the oil game are not entitled to the
tariff protection given the makers Of things il the
North and the East.
That is. the growers and independents producers OF
things were given a legislative slap on the jaw. There
are 81 senator's. Eight were absent. They failed to
figure in the voting as the record for the press was
mace by the correspondents.
There is a way to avoid tackling real economic
issues. All a politician or lawmaker has to do is to
yell from the housetops for law enforcement Of The
18th amendment and the Volstead act. Law en-
forcement is to be commended. but why make II O
smoke screen for the purpose Of avoiding the live
economic issues which concern the farmers Of Ameri-
ca and their rapidly decaying industry?
These issues cannot be choloroformed. All the sur

lives in a land where there is no SNOW or ice ne finds
it essential to grasp the detail Of the sport ana be
able to discuss it, since there is a point in all con-
v~ersations at which the subject arises.
A young man who gets about at al with people
