LEGISLATION URGED
Monday Evening Club Hears De-
Tense of European Protec-
ton System.

The old age pension is the answer Il
the bread line and the old folks home
in this country, Abraham Epstein, ex-
ecutive director Of the American Asso-
citation for Old Age Security, told men,
bers of the Monday Evening Club al
their weekly meeting in the Y. w. c. A.
Building last night.
Epstein denied the charges frequently
made that the European system of old
age and unemployment protection is q
dole, and contrasted the European sys-
tenn with present conditions in the
United States.
There is a tendency in America. he
declared. to shelve the older employees
with experience and skill counting for
less and less with the mechanising of
industry.
He advocated passage of the F1tz-
gerald bill for the District, known as
the model old age pension law. Twelve
States, he said, have old age pension
legislation on their books.
The club. following Epstein's talk,
voted to name committee to study
old age pension legislation.
DIR. John O'Grady, director Of Catho-
lie Charities, spoke in favor of social
insurance against industrial hazard.
Others who participated in the dis
cussion last night were Letter Magnus-
son, American representative Of the In
ternational Labor ONCE, League of Ma
tions; James l.. Fieser. vice chairman
of the American Red Cross; BENJAMIN

TAK0MA CITIZENS ASK
BORLAND LAW REPEAL
Piney Branch Road Project Is Dis
cussed-G. E. Sullivan Talks
on Legal Situation.

The Borland law and the effect OF the
recent Supreme Court decision were
discussed last night by George z. Sulli-
van at meeting of the Citizens Asso-
citation Of Takoma, d. c. in the Ia
koma Park Branch Of the Washington
Public Library, Fifth and Cedar streets.
The question Of the widening of
Piney Branch road from Butternut
street northward to Blair road also was
discussed at some length. In accord
ance with the highway plans of the
District, Piney Branch road is sched-
uled to be widened to a width Of 100
feet from the present 35-foot width.
South of Butternut street the boulevard
100 feet wide has been completed. In
the event Of the widening of the road
northward, 1t would necessitate the re-
moval of several residences on the west
side of the road and eliminate the
playground to the Takoma Public School
between Cedar and Dahlia streets.
At the conclusion of the discussions
the association adopted a resolution
recommending to the District Commits
sioners the repeal Of the Borland act.
DR.. D. N. Shoemaker presided, with
Harvey L. Haight as secretary.

Before the more important suffering

the country little realizes the great
suffering of the horses, which will be
increased this Winter. Hundreds OF
horses, the sole means of livelihood
of as many families will undergo un-
told suffering through literal starvation
The drought which destroyed the crops
also destroyed horse fodder Hundreds
of poor animals already overtaxing their
undernourished, frequently manned
bodies will go without food this Win
ter. They will exc out many a day
of misery before death puts an end
to their sufferings. unless some means
is taken to provide food for them. Their
owners, poor men themselves, will be
unable to pay the high prices demanded
for fodder"
After all, you know, by helping to
feed these animals, human beings also
will be helped II it were not for their
horses they could not find work whereby
to earn their living"
