MAKE SELF L~IQUIDATING
IMPROVEMENTS NOW

Definite benefits to the public will
result from the governments pro-
gram to loan communities money on
self liquidation undertakings.
Bridges r being built, sewage
disposal plants that will save con-
tamination Of rivers, are to be con-
structed, and many towns and cities
are receiving better fire protection
through the addition. of badly needed
fire apparatus.
Such expenditures are really the
highest type Of self liquidating enter
prises benefting the greatest number
of people.

POLICE SELLING
GAME TICKETS

The innocent citizen who sees a
policeman approach with a de-
termined look in his eye within
the next few days may not be
about to get himself arrested.
The policeman may not be CIV
ing him a ticket, but may be try
ing to sell him one.
Twenty-Five thousand tickets
were distributed today among
members of the force for the base
ball game between the teams of
the Washington and Baltimore
police forces on July 4. The game
will be played in the American
League Park.
Inspector o. T. Davis, chairman
of the committee on arrange
ments, today said he expects
there will be a baseball game this
year between teams of the police
and fire departments, although
some weeks ago it was announced
this annual battle had been called
off.
He said he expects the game will
be on or near Labor Day, as in
the past.

COUNTY HEADS

FOR YEAR
Personnel SIashes to Head
List of Savings; New As
SeSSment Put Off

Considerable saving is antici-
pated by the Montgomery county
commissioners for the fiscal year
beginning July l.
The levy, which will soon be
completed, will show several re-
ducttons in personnel and other
county expenses effected since the
last budget was drawn up. Instead
Of three county assessors there is
now but one, the commissioners
having decided that while they
themselves believe the proposed
new assessments for the county
should be made, public opinion is
against it at the present time.
While no definite step has been
taken, it is believed the county
engineering force of IA, which has
built most of the county's roads,
provided for by the 1881 legisla-
ture, will be taken over by the
State Roads Commission which,
under the new plan adopted at
the last session Of the legislature,
will take over the county roads.
Although the change will not
come in time to be included in
the new levy. the next county
election will find but five COM
missioners constituting the county
board instead Of seven.
The disbursement committee,
consisting of president of the
board, attorney to the board and
the treasurer, which met weekly to
approve expenditures, will be
abolished. This will mean a say
ing of $3,400 a year to the tax
payers. The cattle tester, now on
the county rolls, will be trans
ferred to the States pay roll.
Since last year 10 persons have
been removed from the county's
pay roll.

WORKERS PLAN
SECOND RENT
PROTEST
Cuts After First Meeting De-
cIared Too Small; Land
lords Raped

A second meeting to protest
high rents in the District of Co.
lumbia will be held Wednesday
at 8 p. m. in Central High School
under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Federation of Government
Employees.
The federation is dissatisfied
with the attitude of landlords, it
announces, in view of the meager
resources of Government workers,
and plans to make the meeting
a symposium representing Con-
gress and organized labor.
Rents Reduced
Voluntary rent reductions were
announced after the first protest
meeting, more than a month ago,
but the feeling of the Government
workers is that these were not
sufficient. The committee Spon-
soring the new meeting thus en-
phaSizes pay cuts and dismissal
threats affecting Federal en-
ployes:
Everyone in Washington
seems to have heard of the IS
per cent salary reduction given
Federal workers except the land
lords. The Government employe
has been Strenuously deflatcd,
and the only remedy he has is
the initiation of his purchasing
power.
Many Lose Jobs
"Salary reductions and
threatened separations from the
Federal service have been
brought about by the sentiment
that swept the country TO cur
tail Government activities and
personnel. Now that it has
been started, we find the ma
tion wrought up over increasing
unemployment while it drops
hundreds, and soon thousands,
of its own workers from the
payroll.
"That rents must be lowered
in the District is unquestioned,
Government workers are look
ing to the Government to bring
this about, if District landlords
do not accomplish the reduction

'Quacks Expose
In RiaIto Film

The follies of ignorant youth
and an Indictment of So-called
"quack" doctors are the principal
features of 1.-The Seventh Com
mandment." now playing at the
Rialto.
Made with every indication of
sincerity and truthfullness, the
film presents serious subject in
convincing manner. A young man,
who had led a clean life, but who
commits follies on the eve Of his
marriage, is the central figure Of
the plot.
The story points out the mad
visibility of cheap associations.
Stuart James and Victoria Vim
ton play the leading roles in
capable enough manner, while
others of the cast serve. There is
no blatant "Sex-lecture" about the
picture, but rather a worthwhile
and unobjectionable frank discus
sion Of the subject. The disclosure
of the practices of the fake" doc
tors is instructive and seemingly
true.
The newsreel, a Strange As It
Seems" short, and a Bert Roach
comedy, very much in the slap
stick manner, are also shown.
