HOME ADJUSTMENTS
HELD LOITERING CURE
1mlay Points Out Duties of Par.
ents to End Practice of School
Children.

Children will cease lettering in stores
near schools they attend when a pro-
gram Of school and home entertainment
OF greater attractiveneSs is worked out,
Charles v. Inlay, president of the
Western High School Home and School
Association, told members of that body
last night
This Is problem that confronts
parents of children attending high and
Junior high schools, and to a certain
extent the grade schools" Mr.. Inlay
said. While there have been few spe-
ctflc ofenSes as result Of this practice,
II Is one that has caused much worry
among parents and every effort should
be made to discourage it.
Real success will come only when
school life and school work is made so
interesting that the children will keep
away from such places of their own &C
cord"
DR.. Paul L. Benjamin, executive sec
Tetary of the District Committee on
Employment, pointed out that the only
effective manner in which parents can
be assured of obedience and the proper
upbringing of their children is through
sffectionate relationship between parent
and child. A changing world has done
away with the old maxim that the word
Of the parent Is law, DR.. Benjamin said.

THREE DIVISIONS
OF POLICE URGED
Central Citizens Ask Creation
of Prohibition, Traffic and
Ordinary Units.

Division of the metropolitan police
force into three sections-for prohibit
ton, traffic and ordinary police cases
was urged as an efficiency measure in a
resolution adopted last night by the
Central Citizens Association.
A great part Of the meeting, in the
North Capitol Savings Bank, was de-
voted to discussion of police matters,
in the course of which the administra-
ton of Supt. of Police Glassford was
praised and the support of the Central
Citizens Association pledged him.
Vote Thanks for Data.
The association also voted its thanks
for the compilation of arguments
against the Mapes taxation program
made by The Star and distributed
through the Citizens Joint Committee
on Fiscal Relations. Dr. William T.
Kenealy, delegate from the association
lions, brought this matter to attention
and urged that every member of the or
ganization equip himself with this data.
The association has a committee to
participate in the fight against the tax
levies proposed by the House.
The resolution for a new police set
up also was proposed by DR.. Kenealy,
who read an editorial from The Star
Of yesterday on the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing with reference to the general crime
situation.
A recent disclosure on the small
number Of men actually available for
protective service, due to other duties,
was recalled and it was decided to urge
that the work of the officers be dis
tributed.
Bank Protection Asked.
A resolution adopted at the instance
of John G. Mcmahon called on the
Police Department to furnish increased
protection to banks during business
hours, asking assignments of plain
clothes men.
Another resolution, by Henry Wolf,
which received the approval of the as
ISOLATION, thanked Capt. william E.
Holmes of the first precinct for round
ing up criminals in his territory.
Another resolution criticized Traffic
Director Van Duzer on the ground that
a protest of the association on all-day
parking on North Capitol between H
and M streets had not been acted upon.
The association also called for better
observance by drivers of the regula-
ton requiring vehicles to go to the
curb while fire apparatus is passing.

BAR IMMIGRATION BILL

The measure, which would have made
the State Bar Association a State

any infraction of the regulations &C.
curing during these adjustments will. to
all appearances, be charged against an
innocent operator whose station is in no

The "bootlegging" of call letters,
Director Terrell warned. is serious
thing. and the division is planning to
increase its vigilance. The use Of call
letters other than those assigned to the

that station as an unlicensed one. the

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough due to a cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. It is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou-
BILE at all to mix and costs but trife.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2h ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
a full pint. This saves two-thirds Of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the infamed
throat membranes. It is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly loosens the germ
laden phlegm. This three-fold action
explains why it brings such quick re-
lief even in those severe coughs which
follow cold epidemics.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
