BURROUGHS CITIZENS
FOR ZONE CAB PLAN
Resolution of Association Favors
Present System to Installing
Taxi Meters.

A resolution indorsing the continu-
ance Of the zone system Of taxicab oper-
alton was adopted last night by the
Burroughs Citizens Association meeting
in the John Burroughs School.
Citing the fact that there are nearly
5000 cabs operating daily on District
streets, members said that installation
of meters and the subsequent raise In
rates would cause decrease in taxicab
patronage.
An appeal to Congress to provide In
the 1888 District appropriation bill for
the purchase Of site for an elementary
school to be located in the vicinity of
Twentyfourth and Randolph streets
northeast was voiced.
An increase in the number Of park
police assigned to duty at the Taft Rec
reational Center also was asked. The
resolution was directed to the once of
Public Buildings and Public Parks.
The association extended vote OF
thanks to the Athletic Committee for
their work in handling the Burroughs
Foot Ball League. Entertainment last
night was furnished by the st. Stephens
Glee Club and Orchestra.

DR.. william c. Fowler, Dis

forbidden the keeping Of con-

DR.. Fowler'S denial followed
the receipt Of reports that one
cemetery had dequired all lot
owners to remove water con-
tainers from, the graves, ex-
planning that the Health De-
partment objected to their use
on the grounds that they fur.

opinion there is no necessity
for any such move, as mos

HOOVER WORKS
ON HIS 9th
BIRTHDAY
Executive Receives Greetings
From Many Sections; Cake
Cut at Rapidan Last Night

Foregoing a birthday celebra-
ton in the cooler surroundings
of his Rapidan River camp, Presi-
dent Hoover returned to his desk
at the White House today. While
no particularly pressing problems
called the Chief Executive back,
he indicated a desire to spend his
birthday at work. Mrs. Hoover
returned with him.
Though no engagements for the
day had been made for MIR. Hoo
yer, he received natal day greet
ingS from all sections Of the
United States and many foreign
countries. The President Is 81 TO-
day.
At the camp President Hoover
was said to have discussed at
some length the unemployment
situation with Senator Felix
Hebert, (R). Rhode Island, one OF
his guests, who is chairman OF a.
special Senate committee investi-
eating unemployment insurance
and other phases Of the problems
of the jobless in European ma
tions. .-..
"Red Head AmuSes
The trip back from the Rapidan
was without incident except that
members Of the party and accom-
panying newspaper correspondents
were amused by the efforts Of a
"red headed girl" driving a small
coupe, to pass the Secret Service
car behind the Presidents car on
twenty-rnile stretch between
Sperryville and Warrenton. She
didn't get past, however, until the
cavalcade halted for moment at
Warrenton, the Secret Service men
having cleverly outmaneuvered the
"red head" over the distance.
The President was unaware Of
the episode and it was unknown
whether the fair driver was aware
of the unwritten rule Of the road
against passing q Presidential car,
or just wanted to hurry along and
couldn't understand why she was
held back.
Has Birthday Cake
After the Presidents return to-
day, it was learned that the birth.
day celebration occurred last
night at the Rapidan Camp, and,
therefore, no special observance
was scheduled at the White House
today.
Last nights celebration, under
the direction of Mrs. Hoover, was
reported to have been a jolly af-
fair, one of the features being
the cutting Of an immense birth
day cake and the decoration Of
the camp cottages with ribbons.
Certain Of the Presidents week
end guests, who were to have re-
turned to Washington yesterday
afternoon, remained over for the
little family party and came back
this forenoon instead.
