|. FARLEY IS DOUBTED
Ellen Lamotte, Home From
Narcotic Conference, Tells
of Pessimism Abroad.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

PeSsimistic forcbodings relative to the
Disarmament Conference to be held
next mcnth in Geneva are voiced by
Miss Ellen L. Lamotte, internationally
known authority on the narcotic traffic,
who has recently returned to Washing
ton after Seven-month sojourn
abroad.
Miss Lamotte, who attended the
League of Nations Conference en- Limi-
tation of Drug Manufacture, remained
in the Swiss capital for seven weeks,
during which time she talked with many
delegates who will attend the confer
ence next month.
There was an awful lot of cynicsim
among the persons l met at the Mar
Cotic Conference regarding the outcome
of the Disarmament Conference" said
Miss Lamotte. People merely smiled
and shrugged their shoulders with the
remark, oh, it'll just be another con-
ference
I'm spite of the fact that 100 tons of
Illicit drugs have escaped in the past
five years" said Miss Lamotte, "the
great nations of the world would not
traband.
Unfair, She Says.
at isn't fair to the manu- cturers,
for one thing. The manufa cturers
know approximately the medicinal needs
of the country and calculate produc-
ton accordingly. Suddenly a seizure
of illicit drugs Is made and the drugs
are placed for sale on the market. The
manufacturers must dispose of their
goods somehow, so what are they to
do?"
st think the placing Of contraband
goods on the markets places premium
on dishonesty"
After her departure from Geneva
Miss Lamotte travelled to London to in
terview Mahatma Gandhi on narcotic
traffic in India. She declares that the
Mahatma has one of the most engaging
personalities she has met.
HE isn't nearly as ugly as he appears
in his pictures" she declared, land is so
sincere and honest that you feel imme-
diately you are in the presence of big
character.
Calls Him Cordial.
HE is very cordial, and has one Of
the most engaging smiles, even though
it is toothlesS, that ever saw. He has
a great sense of humor"
MISS LamOtte interviewed the lndlan
leader at the English Settlement House,
where he was lodged during his stay in
London.
There are those who contend that
opium is not destructive for the Orien-
tai, and I wished to speak to Mr. Gandhi
on the subject" explained Miss La
motto HE agreed with me that drugs
are as harmful for OrientalS as for Oc-
cidentalS and that something should be
done to suppress the traffic in India"

cation to duty and loyalty to the public
need" He then presented the Fire

SPEED ON MAPES
BILLS ASSA|LED
North Cleveland Park Group
Calls Tax Measure Un-
fair Legislation.

The Mapes Committee tax bills for in
creased taxation in the District of Co
lumbia were the targets of caustic YER
bal barrages by the North Cleveland
Park Citizens Association last night.
The association aSsailed the commit
tee for "railroading through the House
of Representatives in session at which
only "a members were in attendance
legislation which vitality affects the Dis
trict of Columbia" It was emphasized
that when action was taken on the
measures not one of the little more than
score Of Representatives seated had
the backbone" to call attention to the
fact that quorum was not gathered.
Carsei Unfair Legislation.
In an adopted resolution offered by
J. B. Dickman, jr., the citizenry scored
the bills as unfair" legislation, and
moved that the District be granted en-
reimbursement should such additional
taxation be levied. The resolution will
be forwarded to the Federation Of Citi-
zenS' Associations.
1t was suggested that members of the
community from "the States" should
communicate with the folks back
home" and call their attention to the
legislation their Representatives are
sponsoring. In this manner, 1t was
stated, the voters, who are supposed to
pull the strings in la&making," would
be informed just what kind of Repre-
sentatives they have on Capitol Hill
Lodge Makes Address.
A resolution indorsing the bill in the
Senate regulating the sale of firearms
in the District was referred to COM
mittee for consideration.
Thomas E. Lodge addressed the aSso-
citation on behalf of the Community
Chest, and urged the members to help
put the campaign lover the top" by
responding generously in this year Of
greatest need.
A loving cup was awarded the asso-
citation by the Electric League for the
community's display of living Christmas
trees. Entertainment and refreshments
rounded out the program.

LYON PARK, Va, January O.
Activities with respect to extension OF
the water system in Arlington County
will have to be suspended for at least
six months, and possibly year, due to
depletion of the water fund, accord
ing to statement made to meeting
of the Arlington County Civic Fed
Grafton here last night by Hugh Reid,
county delegate to the General Assem-
bly,.
The Legislation and Legal Action
Committee, on motion of Thomas
Mechem, was instructed to draft suitable
resolutions opposing the proposed salary
reductions of Federal Government en-
ployes and to send copies to the Virginia
members of the House of Representa-
tives and the Senate.
A committee consisting of Thomas
Crack, John Agnew and Robert E. Ply
male was appointed by the president,
Robert N. Anderson, to appear before
County Manager Braden today to pro-
test against the erection of two adver-
Using signboardS at the intersection of
Wilson Boulevard and Glebe road.
On recommendation of the Executive
Committee the secretary was instructed
to communicate with the County Board,
the commemorative attorney, the
county manager and other newly elect
ed county officials, assuring them of
the desire of the federation to Coop
crate and to aid in any way possible
in carrying out the work of the county"
A resolution offered by Mrs. Florence
E. Cannon for the Legislation and
Legal Action Committee, and adopted,
puts the federation on record as indors-
ing the bills offered in the Congress by
Representative Smith and Senator
Swanson to provide for the construction
of suitable approach to the Arlington
Memorial Bridge connecting Lee Boule-
ward with the bridge. The resolution
also calls for the appearance of COM
mittee of the federation at hearings on
the bills, which are to be set when the
congressional committees meet about
January Is.
Following this the meeting adopted
another resolution of the committee
opposing that provision of the Mapes
bill, House resolution 1921, which pro-
poses imposing tax on incomes of
residents of Arlington County which
are earned within the District of Co
lumbia. 1t is pointed out by the reso-
luton that II the bill becomes q law
the incomes of most of Arlington Coun-
ty residents will be taxed three times,
Federal and State income taxes being
imposed at the present time.

Being human
without an effort

Some businesses are perpctually con-
cerned about the problem OF keep
ing in touch" with the people who
buy their products. They have to
make an effort to "humanize' their
dealing with their customers, in order
to be regarded as cold corporations"
Fortunately American has never had
this problem. The very life blood of
American business has always been
the cordial human relations existing
between the many men and women
who work for American and the
thousands of men and women with
whom they come into daily contact.
Although American is a corporation
dedicated to making ice-and we be-
lieve no finer, purer, clearer ice can
be made-nobody thinks OF the
American Ice Company as "cold."

Tribute Paid to Darr.

A resolution paying tribute to the late
Charles W. Darr, former president of
| the Chamber, who died Sunday, was
passed by the Board of Directors. 1t
read:
In the death of Charles w. Darr
Washington has lost a citizen whose
! constant aim was to promote civic in
teIests and the welfare of the commu-
nifty in which he was born and in which
he lived, with strong and unchanging
loyalty.
For almost quarter Of century he
worked as member of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, achieving par
ticular distinction as chairman Of its
Committee on Police and Fire Protec-
ton and Public Safety, which service
eliminated in his period of aggressive
and result-getting leadership as presi-
dent of the chamber.
In calling to the attention of the
citizens of the District the high quail
ties of citizenship of Charles w. Darr,
the Washington Chamber of Commerce
desires at the same time to express
its deep sorrow at this great loss to our
city and to render tribute to his mem
DRY as an outstanding citizen and a
beloved fellow worker, whose high aims
and splendid achievements should chal-
lenge the emulation of all present and
future citizens of the National Capital"
Probe Coroner System.
The directors also authorized its
Committee on Law and Legislation to
investigate the coroner's jury system in
Washington, following receipt of re-
ports from various sources tending to
criticize the present practice.
The board heard a report from
Thomas P. Littlepage, chairman of it's
Bicentennial Committee, in which he
stated the Bicentennial film, being pro-
duced by Warner Bros, was now COM
pleted and would have its word premier
in the Capital at the next meeting of
the whole chamber.
The board also approved the Trans
portation Committees resolution favor
ing cutting through Thomas Circle to
relieve traffic congestion, and Endorsed
the Bingham Mcmillan bill for the Fed
eral purchase of a municipal airport
here. A report on the f1ve-year expan-
sion program of the chamber made by
Creed w. Fulton, general chairman, also
was adopted.
