NAME IS SAPPR0VED
FOR NEW PORTAL
Gateway to Capital on Six
teenth Street to Honor
Montgomery Blair.

The House District Committee unan-
imously reported yesterday bill to name
the Sixteenth street entrance to the
District Montgomery Blair portal.
This measure will take the place Of the
bills by Representatives Goldsboro and
lewis of Maryland, which proposed a
slightly different name for the entrance.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
Texas, announced that an agreement
had been reached between the District
Commissioners, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
the authors OF all the other bills and
meeting the wishes of all others con-
cerned.
Black Bill Discussed.
The District Committee devoted con-
siderable time to a discussion of the
bill reported from the subcommittee on
public utilities by Representative Black,
which would allow the Washington,
Alexandria & Mount Vernon Railway
to 90 into the District Court and seek
damages for being compelled to aban-
don their tracks in triangle to make
way for Federal building operations.
william A. Roberts. special assistant
to the corporation counsel and coun-
sci for the Public Utilities Commission
presented a new bill designed to give
the District Commissioners power to
enforce the removal Of the abandoned
tracks outside of the triangle property.
He explained that the interest of the
District also was to avoid having any
costs as the result of damages assessed
against the District. He estimates the
cost of removing the tracks would be
approximately $l8,700.
Representative Gasque Of South
Carolina argued that the company had
purchased the entire line from Alex
andria to Washington two years ago
and had been trying to abandon it and
get bus line franchise. He said that
$4,000 was paid and promissory note
for $4,000.
Representative Hornor of West Vir-
einia suggested that bill should be re-
ported giving the District Commission
ers authority to remove the tracks.
Precedent Seen.
Representative Gasque said his con-
Germ was because this bill would set a
precedent under which the Govern
ment would be forced to pay more than
100000 on account Of removal of
tracks. He pointed out that the Capt.
tai Traction Co. had already paid some
$3.50 900 for moving its tracks in the
development of an extension of the
Capitol grounds.
The Washington, Alexandria & Mount
Vernon Railway measures were laid over
until the next meeting.
The District Committee received a
letter from the Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Association signed by w. 1. Swan
ton, secretary, registering opposition Ito
the real estate ring and military
autocracy that seems to be running the
District

I. c. c.

Looking toward arguments before the
Interstate Commerce Commission dur
ing the first three days Of March on
the report of Attorney Examiner Leo
j. Flynn, calling for comprehensive
regulation of busses and trucks in inter-
State traffic, five briefs were filed with
the commission yesterday-three from
highway interests opposing any restric-
tive measures and two from rail carriers
asking that the scope of the proposed
regulation be widened
The present transportation system
does not call for more regulation for
highway carriers, but rather should be
directed toward less regulation for the
rail carriers, it was declared on
behalf of six groups filing joint brief.
These were the Interstate Motor Car
ric-c' Association, National Team and
Motor Truck Owners Association, Penn

FRUIT CAR SHIPMENT
NOW MADE SAFE.

Preceding of California fruit
in refrigerator ears now supple
ments icing operations as an ad-
ditional safeguard for shipments
en- route to distant markets.
The system rapidly lowers
the temperature within the cars
to the point of complete protec-
ton. Without it there was
chance that fruit packed with
the natural heat of orchards
and packing houses would raise
the temperature in the cars and
quickly dissipate the supply of
ice, making frequent re-icing
necessary.
Until lately attempts at pre-
cooling have been limited to the
slow and costly process of icing
cars sometime before loading
and keeping the fruit in cold
storage rooms for a few days be-
fore packing. Now, however,
fruit shippers have at their COM
mand equipment that will do
the double job efficiently within
the car itself.
When the loading of the fruit
is completed two portable blow
ers are placed in the car, one at
each end. They are patterned
after airplain propellers and are
driven by electric motors.
These blowers draw cold air
from the ice racks and circulate
iE among the boxes of fruit sew
eral times per minute.
Experiments on several hun
dred cars have proven that, even
in extremely warm weather,
this method will lower the tenn
perature in the car 40 degrees
in from eight to twelve hours

STATE BIG LETTUCE CROP

Planting of abe fall lettuce
crop, unofficially estimated at
II, 500 acres was completed the
past week it is announced by
j. A. Foote, supervisor of the
states inspection service.
Mr.. Foote declared he could
not officially estimate the let
tuce acreage at this time, since
so much land has been planted
by independent farmers this
year that it is next to impossi-
BILE to get an accruate report.
Many fields planted at this
time may be lost because of hot
weather and not replanted. 1t
appears probable that the final
acreage figures will be approx
mately the same as last fall,
when 0,362 acres were set out
in the Salt River valley and
1926 in other parts of the state,
Foot will begin to survey this
week to determine the lettuce
acreage. From other sources,
estimates for the fall acreage
ran as high as $4,000 acres.
High daylight temperatures
the past week have required
heavy use of water in the irri.
CATION rows, it is learned, and
some fields have been under
constant irrigation the past

P. 7. A. COUNCIL HITS
new ACT SATURDAY

At a meeting of the managers
of the Arizona Congress of the
Parents and Teachers held in
Phoenix September, II, this
wide body went on record as
opposed to initiative petition
number 305 in the general cleo
ton to be held on Nov. 9Th.
& This petition is to amend the
chiropractor law emitting a
clause which now prohibits them
from practicing minor or major
surgery and practicing medicine
and by inserting among other
classes the right to sign death
certificates, to have access to
hospitals and public institutions
supported by public funds, and
to collect payment for services
in any and all cases under
which any licensed practitioner
of the healing art is entitled to
collect for services. J."
In opposing this measure it
was the concensus of opinion
that the passage of such a
measure would increase the cost
of state government by the Gre
alton of another board of
which there are already too
many, and that it would divert
state funds into a strictly pri-
vate organizations treasury in
that $500 of each license fee
received will, if this law passes,
be placed to the credit of the
Arizona State Chiropractor's
Association.
1t was also of the opinion
that this measure is not needed
on our statute books for at
present law is in force which
provides for licensing of Chiro-
practors and when so licensed
they are entitled to practice
and receive compensation for
their services. 1t was pointed
out that this is strictly "class
legislation" in that if passed the
Chiropractor will not be amend
able to the state legislature as
all professions now are and that
only a referendum by the peo-
pie could repeal or amend this
act if passed.
This body feels that the
health laws of this state must
be protected and made as rigid
as possible due to the states
nationwide reputation as a
"health seekers paradise" and
that anything done to impair
the health reputation of Arizona
would effect the health and
tourist business which is the one
great opportunity this state has
to offset the loss in the closing
of our mines and to develope
and prosper as leading state in
the union for health seekers and
tourists.

STATE SCHOOL RATING MADE

Arlzona's rating on flve TACT
ors relating to school efficiency
ranges from 7th to 35th among
the states, according to a spec
ial report, issued by W. G. Carr
director of the research division
of the National Education AS
sociation. The report, based
on 1880 figures, was received
by n. d. Pulham, secretary of
the Arizona Education associa-
ton.
The FIVE factors considered in
the report are the proportion of
children reached by the schools;
the holding power of the school;
the salaries paid teachers; school
environment, and per cent of
literacy.
The average salary paid teach
ers, principals and supervisors
in Arizona in 1880 was $1,637,
the report states. 1t is exceed
ed only by New York, Califor-
MIA, New Jersey, Massachusetts
Connecticut and Ohio.
"School efficiency depends
more on the quality of teaching
than on any other single factor,
Carr states, "It is generally
true that those states which
have relatively well trained
teaching staffs also pay rela-
lively high salaries. -
Although the report shows
that 1886 per cent of Arizona's
native born white and colored
population over 10 years of age
can read and write, the state
holds only 18th place in the
nation. The states are so close
together on this point that a
very slight difference in the
literacy statistics make a con-
siderable difference in the rank
ing, it is explained.
Arizona ranked 31st in its
ability to hold students between
IA and IL years of age, inclu-
sive, in its schools. In 1880 the
state had 32,04O children of
these ages, of which 22,738
were attending school of some
kind, making its holding power
1919 per cent of the maximum
possible. All of its bordering
states are said to exceed this
figure.
The proportion of children
reached is figured on the ag-
gregate amount of attendance
recorded, as compared with the
attendance possible. The per
cent in 1880 was 1851. giving
Arizona a rank of 35th. The
figures relate to children be-
tween 5 and II years of age, at
tending school for 200 days in
the year.
Arizona was 35th also in
material school environment.
The value of school property
per pupil enrolled was reported
for Arizona as S173. Other
things being equal, Carr claims,
comfortable, attr active and
well equipped schools are like
ly to produce better results
than those having opposite con-
ditions. Phoenix Republic

BUSINESS MAP
ABANDONED BY
u. s. CHAMBER

The Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce has been advised that the
map showing economic conditions
in the United States, as released
monthly for the use of newspapers
by Nations Business, the monthly
publication of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, will be dis
continued temporarily. Owing to
the fact that there are no white
spots on the map and have not
been for several months, it has
apparently been decided to discon-
tinue the service to the press until
general business conditions show 4
change.
The La Sale map of business
conditions, which is also received
monthly at the El Centre Chamber
of Commerce, pictures business con-
ditions throughout the country as
good" and fair" and this map
also has no spots which represent
very good business conditions.
The editor of this map states:
"The cycle of restricted credit
with ensuing falling off of employ
ment had already progressed to
such state of collapse before
remedial measures were started
that its momentum has carried 1t
well into the season at which a
good upturn in business ordinarily
is looked for.
THE spring upturn is at last TAX
ing place, but in a very moderate
degree. Sales of consumer goods
have increased. Wholesalers in
yentOrieS are showing marked re-
ductions in volume as we'll as price
Hand-to-mouth buying by whole
SalerS will soon change to decided
inventory replenishment and will
create demand on manufacturers
who in turn will have to buy raw
materials. Credit is available, but
as yet only to those who can show
not only prospective but present
ample ability to pay. AS demand
increases, credit will expand, en-
ployment will increase and prices
will rise. Political partisanship in
an election year will tend to retard
the normal rate Of recovery and to
throw suspicion on the wisest of
remedial measures"
Of the limited number of spots
on the map showing business con-
ditions to be good, and Imperial
Valley is one of these, the editor
states:
THE few spots Of activity indi-
Gated on our map are fortunate
more by reason OF natural strategic
conditions than to any general
forces. One area may be making
shoes, another shipping spring
vegetables. New England, pinched
even during the initiation, shows
signs of being the first to recover
from the deflation."
