AID To CRIME

Vacant alley dwellings, are hide.
outs for criminals and menace
to children, especially when they
are located. as many of them are
in Washington. in so-called hid
den communities" John Ihlder,
city planning expert, told the
Council of Social Agencies at a
meeting al the Y. w. c. A. yes
terday.
BY constant agitation since
1863 most of the alleys here have
been made sanitary, but there
still remains an evil which calls
for the eventual destruction not
just evacuation of these slums,
1hlder said.
Because of a housing shortage
during and Immediately after the
war alley houses which had for
years been vacant were again put
in use. Now there is no longer
housing shortage in the District,
and steps should be taken to
stamp out this evil, he said, and
expressed the hope that the Dis
trict demolition law, inactive since
1927 when the courts. handed
down an adverse decision, could
be revived again.
Ihlder is executive director of
the Pittsburgh Housing Associa-
ton, and is consultant to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.

CAPPER CAN'T
GET QUORUM
TOGETHER
slnportant Legislation Waits
as' Meeting Attendance
Drops to 2 or 3 Members

Important local bills pending
before the Senate District Com
mittee are facing non-action at
this session because of the slim
attendance at committee meetings
and the inability of Chairman
7Arthur Capper to muster a
!. quorum.
The "quorumless" meetings have
oeen going on for several weeks,
put attendance reached it's very
lowest ehb yesterday afternoon.
Only the chairman was there
when the meeting hour arrived
and after little wait he regret
fully called the meeting off and
returned. discouraged, to the Sen
ate chamber.
Piars + O4ning Sessions
He, said af' .rward:
II suppose we will have to
try out morning sessions. 1t
seems impossible to get the
committee members to attend
during the afternoons. We
have had difficulty in getting
quorum for sometime and
the next time l call meet,
ing / think I'll make it in the
morning and see if we have
better luck in attendance"
Senator Capper had intended
yesterday to call up several i'm
portant bills which have been
before the committee for some
time and upon which hearings
were held earlier in the session.
Pending bills include:
The street car merger bill: the
bill requiring taxicabs to show
financial responsibility; the meas
ure providing for election of
members of the Board of Edu-
cation by popular vote: the alley
elimination bill and the Howell
prohibition bill.
Howell on Hand
Senator howell came to the
District committee room yester-
day. He is not a member of
that committee. but expected to
be present when his bill was
called. However, since he found
only the chairman present, moth
ing could be done.
At recent meetings and hear
ings of the Senate committee the
average attendance has been
three to five members; more
frequently three or four. And
at one meeting Senator Capper
and just one other Senator car
ried on and handled few
routine matters.
The attendance varies as to
personnel, A certain Senator
may come to one meeting and
then be too busy to attend the
next one, or the next. His
place will be filled by another
Senator. but somehow the at
tendance hangs around three or
four of the 13 committee mem
bers.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking
an Outlet Through Skin
Pores.

Pimples, sores and boilS uually re-
suit from toxins, poisonS and i'm
purities which are generated in the
bowels and then absorbed into the
blood through the very ducts which
should absorb only nourishment to
sustain the body.
It is the function Of the kidneys
TO filter impurities from the blood
and cast them out in the form Of
urine, but in many instances the
bowels create more toxins and i'm
puritieS than the kidneys can elm
mate: then the blood uses the skin
pores as the next best means Of
getting rid Of these impurities.
which often break out all over the
skin in the form of pinpleS.
The sureSt way to clear the skin
of these eruptions, says noted au-
thority. is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water each morning before break
fast for one week. This will help
prevent the formation of toxins in
the bowels. It also stimulates the
kidneys, thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and Is
made from the acid OF grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia.
Here you have a pleasant, efter-
vescent drink which usually helps
make pimples disappear.-Adver-
