prestige removed widespread prejudice
against actors and the drama when it
became known Washington was thea
ter lover, Bloom said.
The speaker urged the theater owners
to hold the aims and purposes of the
cinema to a level that would crafty its

RAzED BILLBOARD
ORDERED REMOVED
Authority for Replacement
on East Capitol Street
to Be Refused.

A billboard in the 800 block of East
Capitol street. blown over during the
recent snowstorm, was ordered removed
from the premises today by District
government authorities. The General
Outdoor Advertising Co., owners, was
given three days in which to comply.
No permission will be granted for its
replacement, officials said.
Thomas H. Roche, assistant building
inspector in charge Of outdoor signs,
said the billboard location In question
was one of those authorized under the
sign regulations, but added that the
owner Of the site had agreed not to re-
place the sign. Many residents in the
rieighborhood, Mr.. Roche said, have pro-
tested to the building inspectors office
against replacement Of the board.
Problem Created.
with dozen or more hiliboards blown
down or otherwise damaged by the re-
cent storm, various technical matters
involving ownership have come to the
surface to comphcate the handling Of
individual cases
|. One such case, involving the repair
ing of q board on the northeast corner
of Tenth and q streets northeast, was
settled out Of court Saturday, due to
the circumstances involving 1t. Inves-
tigation developed that the contract for
the board had been cancelled year or
so ago and that the property owner had
let 1t remain to serve as q fence. He was
detected by a policeman of the ninth
precinct In repairing Its props and was
given warning. The owner thereupon
notified the General Outdoor Co., which
sent out q repair crew. Police again
interrupted the work.
The property owner was given per-
NIT finally to remove the billboard from
his premises and erect q fence In It's
place. Unless this is complied with, Mr..
Roche said, the case will go to court for
trial
Inquiries on the part of District Of
ficials have developed that the General
Co. In a number Of instances has writ
ten letters to property owners turning
over to them the company's ownership
rights to certain boards. In accepting
these boards, District ofiicials pointed
out, property owners assume liability.
Ownership Uncertain,
1t Is a rather uncertain ownership
according to officials, for at any time
the boards may be ordered down II they
are unsafe
Regulation require all large billboards
to be supported by props, which take
up considerable space back of the
boards. If any of these props are re-
moved by private owners because of the
space they occupy on q lot, it was said
the boards would be rendered unsafe
under the regulations. In that event
officials say they would have to be
ordered down.
Last week The Star printed picture
OF one OF the billboards damaged In
the storm. At that time the location
was enormously given as being In the
44Oo block Of Georgia avenue. The
Dillboard was located. instead, IN the
$500 block Of that avenue.

1,134,946 cases as compared with

though they were in constant danger
and hardships, it was a paradise to
them.
That first Thanksgiving was spent
in feasting and worship. 1t was a
true thanksgiving. But it was nc
women (for it was this number, SO
history books tell us) and few young
girls feeding 121 men, over 80 of
whom were Indians and ravenOusly
hungry men and Indians at that. The
feast lasted for several days and they
had several such days during the year
and later made it an annual event
We of today wonder at their courage
to hold Thanksgiving feasts where
there seemed to be so little to be
thankful for, but they were thankful
and even in this depression there is
something to be thankful for if we
consider ourselves of the quality that
our forefathers would have had us be.
The celebration of certain Thanks
giving day, however, was not general
until in 1864, when President Abraham
Lincoln issued proclamation desig-
mating the fourth Thursday of No
vember. Since that time it has been
observed usually on the last Thursday
of November
The first Thanksgiving proclama-
ton ever issued was signed by George
Washington in 1889.
Prayers will be offered this Thanks
giving day for those of the masses
who have no work. no, home and not
enough to eat, for they are the ones
who cannot be very thankful.

OLSON RAISES
1890 MAJORITY
Gets More Votes Than All of OppOsi.
tiOn Combined KnutS0n Wins
Ninth Congressional Place.

The official state canvassing board
report on the recent general election
speaks plenty as to the popularity of
Governor Floyd B. Olson when it is
seen that his majority over Earle
Brown, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, is 18S,357. The reelection of
Mr.. Olson by this majority, which tops
his majority of two years ago, is all
the more remarkable when it is seen
that this time he had fighting oppO-
sitiOn from both the Democratic can
didate and the Republicans, while two
years ago just the Republicans put up
a strenuous fight. Olson's total vote
this year was 522,43S as compared to
473,154 in 1880. Browns vote was
334,OS1 to 169,S59 for John E. Regan,
Democrat. In 1880 Ray P. Chase, Re-
publican candidate, received 2S9,52S
votes.
KnutSOn Wins.
The official report places Harold
knutsOn of ST. Cloud, in ninth place
in the congressional delegation from
H. Andersen of Red Wing, by a mar
gin of 1923 votes. 1t was not known
until the last six precincts were re-
ported which of these two was to get
the coveted ninth position since they
ran nip and tuck with first one lead
ing and then the other throughout the
counting of the ballots. Knutsons
