BOSTON GOT ALL
 EXCITED ABOUT
 ATTACK ON CITY
Assistant Secretary of War Had Sprung It as a Joke and Boston Took It Seriously

Washington, March 13 - (UP) - A paragraph in one of Assistant War Secretary Davison's recent 1 eeches about the army's spring air maneuvers, which he intended as joke, has invoked a protest by Bos- ton citizens, 1t was learned today. Davison, speaking in Boston, paint ed 8 realistic picture of the great swarm of planes to stage mimic attack there on May 24. After de- scribing the noise of hundreds of roaring motors, Davidson said face tiously:
 ''If you plan to go to bed on the night of the 24th you will be just wasting your time. Some of the Bostonians. apparently, took Davi- sons statement seriously, and didn't think it so funny. Tn letters to the War Department they protested the attack" pointing to it's effect on inmates of hospitals and asylums, not to mention sleepless citizens. But such fears are vain, the War De- partment says. No bombs will be exploded, no machine-guns fired, and the maneuvers will be over by II D. ms

DOLE FOR DISTRICTS.
AGED IS PROPOSED
DiCkstein, Bill Would Provide
Pay for Elderly, Helpless
Residents of Capital.

Representative Dickstein of New York
yesterday introduced In the House a
bill providing for payment to aged and
helpless people in the District who have
reached the age of 20 years and who
have no children or persons to provide
for them dole by the Public welfare
Board
In explaining this measure, Repre-
sentative Dickstein said; The only
place that we have for persons of that
kind Is the poor house and it is about
time that this great country of ours
would give a little thought and con-
Sideration to the protection of old age,
and instead of sending them to a poor
house homes should be made by making
allowances to them so that they may
care for themselves and live for the
balance of the time that God has given
them with some independence.
Although the money is supplied
them by the Government which they
have always stTiven to protect and
honor during their capability, either in
industry, war or peace, nevertheless 1t
Is something that would not make them
look as a beggar or have to wait to be
taken in a wagon to some decrepid poor
house.
THE O,ngress of the United States
which controls the destiny of the Dis
trict of Columbia should make a little
Roadway in the passage of this bill, as
am sure people do not take advantage
of old age refuge unless necessary. In
this way the District of Columbia, in
stead of having to build poor houses,
would lessen this burden and at the
same time secure citizens from the fate
of the pauper's grave and pauper's
home.
Let the Congress set good example
for the States Of the Union to adopt
similar proposals, which is a step in the
right direction to protect old age in its
greatest time of need
