Fight for Funds in
Congress.

Pennsylvania avenue will be decked
with traf1c signal lights at every in

Landlord OF Georgia has anything to
say about 1t.
Dropping down on William A. Van
Duzer, director of the Department of
Motor Vehicles and Traflc, today. the
Southern member Of Congress stated
that he believed II absolutely necessary
that Washington's most historic thor
oughfare be put under trafic- Light
control.
He called upon Mr. Van Duzer to
submit to him Immediately the cost of
such a system, and stated that he
would fight with every energy to get
the money from Congress.
Il will object. ask for unanimous
consent and block any order of bust
ness in my power TO get the necessary
funds" the Georgian stated. II am
not on the District Committee. but 1
am going to fight for the traffc needs
Of this city. The condition of traff1c
at Peace Monument is particularly bad.

Pennsylvania avenue at any place. MY
idea of the light signals is for pedes-
TRANS. do not drive myself and I
don't care how much the autoistS are
slowed down, II the streets are made
safe for those on foot.
II have noticed the policemen sta
toned at street car intersections give
the right of way at all times to the
street cars. I understand that these
particular policemen are paid their sala-
ries by the traction companies. 1 am
told that this situation does not exist
in any other city. Washington needs
more policemen, but does not need any
under the pay of street car companies >"
Mr.. Van Duzer replied to Mr.. Lank-
ford that a survey or count was being
made at the present time of the num-
Der of vehicles entering the principal
intersections of the city, and from the
results obtained the requests for more

LEGION UP IN ARMS
OVER VETS CUSTER
Hoover viii BE Asked to
Study Charges of Many
DismissaIS.

Charges that scores OF World War
veterans have been dropped from Gov
eminent bureaus IN recent months while
the laws prohibiting Federal employ
ncnt Of more than two members OF the
same family are being openly violated"
viii be sent today to President Hoover
by Col John Thomas Taylor. vice
chairman OF the American Legion's Ma
tional Legislative Committee. with a
request for an immediate investigation
Col. Taylor said he had consulted
with numerous Government ofilcials over
the dismissal Of veterans in the Census
Bureau. the Shipping Board and other
bureaus only 70 be told that the dis
missed veterans were on the temporary
rolls"
Legion 10 Take Hand.
THAT doesn't go with the American
Legion" he declared today. AS a
member OF the commission appointed
by former President Coolidge and by
President Hoover 10 study the question
OF veterans preference in the Civil
Service. I know that It was the spirit
and the intent OF the law to give these
veterans on the temporary rolls the
same preferential treatment as the law
accords TO those on the permanent rolls.
With veterans forced out Of their jobs
TO walk the streets during the present
serious economic depression. the Amer
lean Legion docs not intend 70 stand
by and see these determinations con-
tinued In the Government service with
out doing all 1t can do 10 put stop
to IT,"
The investigation which Col. Taylor
proposes, he said, Is in ! C with the re-
cent suggestions of representative
Knutson, Republican, Of Minnesota
and the Employment Promotion Com
mittee of the Presidents Organization
on Unemployment Relief. One Of the
facts brought out in that committees
report bore on the spreading OF en-
ployment In the Government service by
eliminating on-dependent married
women.
Four Dismissals Cited.
Col Taylor said he does not intend
TO submit the report he is preparing to
the President in person, but would SEND
1t to the Chief Executive.
Among the most recent cases called
to the attention of the Legion, he cited
the dismissal Saturday OF four veterans
from the manufactures division of the
Census Bureau. He charged that in
the same division Is q woman receiving
81 $50 a year, her son, receiving $500;
the sNns wife, receiving 1880: while
the husband Of the woman, according
to Taylor's information, is employed in
the Veterans Bureau at $4,000 year.
He declares that neither the man nor
his son are veterans.
Col Taylor insisted that the pref
erence" provisions of the law apply
just the same to veterans on the tenn
porary roles In the case of each of
the dismissed veterans, he said, they
were required to take the Civil Service
examinations.
His Investigations of the working
conditions OF veterans over a long
period, Col. Taylor said, has revealed
many other instances of violations of
the law aside from those connected
with temporary service. He expressed
confidence that a careful investigation
would sustain all his charges.
Such an inquiry, he explained, could
be made either by the Civil Service
Commission or might be undertaken by
some other agency.

Sleep not when others speak, sit
not when other stand, speak not when
you should hold your peace, walk not
when others stop.
Let your countenance be pleasant,
but in serious matters somewhat
grave.
Show not yourself glad at the mis-
fortune of another, though he were
your enemy.
When you meet with one of greater
quality than yourself, stop and retire,
especially if it be door or any strait
place, to give way for him to pass.
They that are in dignity, or in
office have in all place presidency;
but whilst they are young they ought
to respect those that are their equals
in birth or other qualities, though
they have no public charge.
Strive not with your superiors in
argument, but always submit your
judgment to others with modesty.
When man does all he can, though
it succeeds not well, blame not him
that did it.
Mock not nor jest at anything of
Importance; make no jects that have
sharp-biting, and if you deliver any
thing witty and pleasant, abstain
from laughing thereat yourself.
Use no reproachful language again
st anyone, neither curse nor revile.
Be not hasty to believe flying re-
ports to the disparagement of any.
Associate yourself with men of
good quality, if you esteem your own
reputation, for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.
Be not immodest in urging your
friends to discover a secret.

G. To lead children to form habits
