MILK SURPLUS
PER|LS PRICE

Dairyman of Maryland and Vir-
ginia who supply milk to Wash
ington must curtail production
or face reduction in price, accord
ing to a warning issued to mem
bers of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association
by the larger distributing agencies.
1t is reported that daily ship
mentS of milk to the city exceed
the demand by 1000 gallons
Larger dairieS here, however, re-
fuse to be alarmed, declaring that
the oversupply will not affect the
present retail price of Is cents
a quart. 1t was explained, how
ever, that the dairies are under
contract to pay the present whole
sale price until May, and a re
duction in retail price now would
mean serious loss.
The warning was issued by +.
w. Heaps, manager of the Balti-
more Milk Producers Association,
who declared that, while every
thing possible is being done 20
absorb the surplus, the overSupply
is getting so large that dairymen
are likely to find themselves with
a quantity of milk for which they
have no market. Heaps also said
that if the price ever goes down
it will be hard to force them
back to level which would
Justify profitable dairy operation.

FIGHT TRANSFER.
Of SCHOOL

An invitation has been ex-
tended to DR. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, and
Seldom N. Ely, superintendent of
the Fifth School Division. to at
tend parents protest meeting
to be held at 8 o'clock Thursday
night at Burroughs School to pro-
test the transfer of children from
Burroughs to Langdon School.
The decision to invite the two
officials was reached at a meet
ing of the special committee of
the Burroughs Citizens ASsocia-
ton, appointed by w. E. Raben-
horst, president, to plan the mass
meeting The parents contend
that, according to Ballou's own
statement to newspapers. there is
room at the Burroughs School to
accommodate the sixth and sew
enth grade pupils who were
ordered to Langdon. The school
patrons last night reiterated their
Intention to stand by their guns
and continue to send their chill
dren to Burroughs whether they
are admitted or not.
The situation is similar to the
recent student strike at the Park
View School. Judging by his
action in the Park View row, it
is doubtful if Ballou will attend
the meeting. When visited by
angry Park View mothers the
superintendent refused to see
them and they were interviewed
by r. L. Haycock, assistant super
intendent.

Bitter attacks on the Jones bill
which would give the President
the right to draw on the States
for material for the posts of
District Commissioners were made
at meetings of local citizens asso-
Citations last night. At the same
time candidates for the vacancies
soon to be created were endorsed.
Henry Gilligan, member of the
Board Of Education, and A. j.
Driscoll, presidents of the North
Capitol and Mid-City Citizens AS
sociations, respectively, received
the Endorsement of their aSSoCia-
tions for appointment as District
Commissioners.
Unanimous opposition to the
Jones bill was voiced by members
of the Trinidad Citizens Associa-
ton, meeting in the Wheatly
School.
The North Capitol group meet
ing in the auditorium of the Nc
Kinley High School, also opposed
the Jones bill.
DeloS Smith, Community Chest
worker, urged unanimous support
of the members of the Trinidad
association in the city-wide appeal
of the Chest for funds for its 1880
budget, beginning today. Samuel
Hershman, of the Hebrew Home

Chest campaign in an address be-
fore members of the North Capitol
association.
A resolution urging Congress to
enact legislation authorizing &C
QUESTION of Mt. Vernon, home of
George Washington and Americas
national shrine, by the Federal
Government, also was adopted by
the Trinidad association.
The Mid-City association went
on record in favor of the Senate

TORS OVER FLOOD AREA FEAR MANY HAVE STARVED
SETTLE STATUS
Of DRY FORCE
LAWYERS

Congressional vets and drys
took their discussion of prohibi.
ton enforcement behind closed
doors today.
The House Committee on Ex.
ecutive Expenditures was to meet
IN executive session to give final
consideration to the Administra-
tlon's bill transferring enforce
ment activities from the Treasury
to the Department of Justice.
Most of the differences over the
measure seem to have been ironed
out.
Only one more witness re-
manned to be heard by the com
mlttee-AsSiStant Attorney Gen
eral G. A. YoungquiSt, who is be-
ing recalled briefly to further
outline how the Department of
Justice hopes to take prohibition
unit lawyers out of Civil Service.
The rest OF the session will be
devoted to private debate among
the committee members over re
porting the bill.
Debate Civil Service
The question of maintaining or
abolishing civil service status for
lawyers transferred under the
bill will be one of the chief
questions for discussion. The
other will be whether control of
industrial alcohol should be left
with the Treasury or go with
the enforcement unit.
On the latter score, drys
seemed pretty we'll satisfied with
the explanations made yesterday
by Attorney General Mitchell.
They had feared there would be
division of authority that might
result in buck passing if alco-
hol permits were retained under
jurisdiction of the Treasury, but
Mitchell pointed out that "in
Self-defenSe" his department
would have to do everything
possible to stop leaks from that
source. 1t was possible the com.
mittee would give the Attorney
General additional powers to
permit his investigation of permit
applications.
Vets on the committee were
expected to make an effort TO

Slight Warning Given
of Deadly Poison Gas

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one
Of the greatest dangers of modern
life. The gas, given off by almost
all forms of combustion, has no smell
and gives no ordinary warning, but
two symptoms have been noted which
may be valuable.
First, there may be slight swell
ing and hardening of the small ar
teres which enc can feel beating In
the temples; second, there is often
slight weakness of the muscles In the
back of the legs.
In treating case the victim should
not be moved more than necessary !;
the air must be fresh and should not
be cold; the patient. should be kept
absolutely quiet until recovery is COM
plete. Artificial respiration is neces-
sary If breathing has ceased, but the
most important thing Is prompt use OF
a modern inhalation apparatus using
oxygen and little carbon dioxide.-

Capital City's Growth
Not According to Plan


1t is true to large extent that the
more desirable avenues in Washing
ton bear the names of northern
states and the less desirable bear the
names of southern states. When the
streets were numbered, lettered, and
named in the very beginning of the
plans for the city Of Washington, no
one knew in which direction the Cap.
ltal would grow. 1t was expected, in
fact, that the city would grow to-
ward the east and south. 1t actual
ly happened that the city grew more
rapidly toward the north and west.
Some Of the avenues which now run
through somewhat undesirable Sec
lions Of the city are so located that
as the plans for the city's improve
ment are executed they will be per-
haps the most beautiful Of Wash
ington's streets. An example Of this
is Virginia avenue, which at no very
distant time will probably be one Of
the most beautiful streets. 1t is
doubtless true that the streets
around the Capitol were named first
and the states for which they were
named were those belonging to the
Union at that time.-Washingt

Centenarians

Although pproximately 5000 per-
sons in the United States claim to
have reached the age of one hundred
years, most Of them either are mis-
taken or have deliberately falsified
in their eagerness to gain public
notice, says T. Swami Harding, an
authority on science, in the North
American Review. ut is significant"
he points out, "that such advanced
ages occur amir g peasant classes
usually, where records are unavail-
able"
Mr.. Harding shows that although
few cases of persons who have
passed the century mark have been
authenticated, many more such
claims, particularly ages as one him
dred and twenty years and upward,
have been disproved by marriage,
military and other records. Only .06
per cent Of Americans, he shows,
reach eighty years of age.
