UN|F ORM LIEN ACT
URGED FOR CAPITAL
Contractors to Ask Congress
to Adopt Proposed Bill at
Coming Session.

Adoption Of the proposed uniform
mechanics lien act for the District of
Columbia will be urged upon Congress
shortly after it reconvenes Monday by
the Associated General Contractors of
America.
The proposed uniform law has been
adopted in final form by the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uni
form State Laws and Will be sponsored
by the contractors and other organi-
cations in all the States, 1t is announc-
ed by Edward j. Harding, managing di-
rector Of the A. G. c.
Seek to End Evils.
Mr.. Harding believes that the Dis
trict may be the first Jurisdiction to
adopt the proposed act, which is de-
signed, he said, to overcome lien evils
which have long plagued the building
public.
Walter c. Clephane, Charles v. I'M
lay and Frederick S. Tyler. the Dis
tricts representatives in the National
Conference Of Commissioners on Uni
form State Laws, Mr.. Harding said, are
preparing the draft OF bill to place
into effect provisions OF the uniform
law.
THE proposed act was based on the
principle that all those entitled to pro-
lection under the law, with the ex-
ception OF labor, must assume certain
simple. clear-cut responsibilities" Mr..
Harding explained.
"Workmen are entitled to payment
for their labor and can get it under the
proposed law without encountering any
obstacles, while all other agencies con-
cerned can file liens and collect within
the limits of the contract price if they
take the trouble of notifying the owner
that he will be looked to Tor payment.
Would Protect Owners.
1.-THE law will not come to the rescue
OF those who refuse to take the simple
steps necessary for their own protec-
ton, but will assure to any owner, no
matter how inexperienced or helpless,
ne must take to prevent being made
the repeating paymaster that he fer
quently has been in the past"
The proposed uniform law has been
subject OF study for seven years. Dur
ing that time it was analyzed and re-
peatedly revised by the Standard State
Mechanics Lien Act Committee of the
Department Of Commerce, in which TIE
A. G. c. was represented; and by mem
bers of the National Conference of
Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
In addition to those bodies, it has been
approved by the American Bar Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Harding declares its adoption
would check abuses under the pres
ent law, will continue as an aid in
providing sound credit guarantees and
protect the innocent owner from hay-
ing to pay twice for materials.

POINT
 LEADER MAKES 2
 HIS HONEST

Amherst. Mass. Nov 14.--The nations leading bootball point scorer. Lou Bush. halfback for Massachusetts State, isn't the pet of the coach or the pal of Q quar- terback who gives him the ball on the six-inch line to push over for an easy score. Lou makes his points"
 This leading scorer who is well on the way to 125 points for tho season, is tho teams best touch- down man. True, he is fed the ball at every scoring opportunity, but i've give him the ball when we want t0 score because he's our best touch down man," is the way Coach Mel Taube puts 1t.
 Last year tho youth had q chance to cop national honors, but finished third. This year he's 70 far out in front that it's unlikely anyone will catch him.
 Tho lad only weighs 14G pounds, and Is five feet six inches tall. Many of his touchdowns are made on forward passes and run back of puntg. He has one run of or yards to his credit after receiving q kick.
 His longest dash came last year "a 98-yard saunter down the field after kickoff in the game with Bowdoin,
