SAYS DRUGGIST
TO BLAME FOR
POOR BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a. U.pi
The first woman to head the CAL
ifOrnia Pharmaceutical associa-
ton. Mrs. Edna Gleason, Stockton,
Blamed Ne druggists themselves
for evil ways into which their busi-
ness had fallen.
Male members of the organiza-
tion sought to place the blame on
the manufacturers, the wholesalers,
the department stores, the grocery
stores, and even the filling stations.
But Mrs. Gleason, only woman on
the convention platform here, had
different ideas.
Like everybody else In the bear
era, we wanted something for no.
thing" she told the pharmacists.
When the ak falls, we are ready to
blame everybody but ourselves"
Mrs. Gleason's three drugstores
in Stockton are precursors of the
drugstore of the future" This type
Of store, according to Albert c. Kas-
per, president of the national phar-
macists' organization, will have no
counters, magazine racks or soda
fountains. In it will be an invisible
prescription room, a chemical and
blood analysis laboratory, medical
reference library, doctors wait
ing room and an upholstered salon.
One Of the state presidents estab-
lishments has a Spanish stucco in
terror with a decorative mezzaninc
and the atmosphere of an exclu-
sive gown shop. 1t has no soda
fountain. Counters line only one
wall and these are to be eliminated
One of Mrs Gleason's innovations
require woman clerks to sell cos
metics.
How can a man advise a custo-
mer in that direction?" she asked.

CONTROL
PLAN D, K'D

Approval of Major D. H. Gil
lettes flood control program for
protecting downtown Washington
from future ravages by the Po-
tomac has been given by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Engineer Commissioner John C.
Gotwals, who heard Major Gil
lette outline his plan at yester-
days meeting of the planning
commission, is expected to lay it
before the District Commissioners
at their next meeting.
The flood control project, as
outlined by Gillette, calls for
throwing up of an earthen en-
bankment south of the Navy
Building to Seventeenth Street
and elevating by four feet the
northwest corner of the Monu-
ment grounds. The work could
be completed for 100000, Major
Gillette estimates, and would con-
stitute an excellent public works
project, since labor employed
need not be skilled and work
could be begun Immediately.

BOARD STUDIES
WATERFRONT

A plan for utilizing the water
front along BuzzardS Point to the
greatest advantage was yesterday
approved by the National Capital

after presentation by John C.
Nolan, city planner for the COM
mission.
The plan, based upon data
obtained by E. A. Schmidt, senior
assistant United States engineer,
outlines for the benefit of inter
ested Government agencies where
warehouses, docks and other
waterfront facilities should be
placed.
Other business at the meeting
included perusal of a plan sub
mitted by Herbert Adams, of
Washington, for routing through
city traffic from Key Bridge to
Riggs Road Northeast, north of
downtown congestion. The idea
was approved but not the route
recommended.

MERIT SYSTEM
To STAY, SAYS
NEW CHIEF
Civil Service Head offers
Assurances to Federal
Office Personnel

Firm support of the Civil Ser
vice system, and of appointments
and promotions through merit,
will be the policy of the new
Civil Service Commission, accord
ing to an announcement today by
the president of the commission,
Harry B. Mitchell.
In view of the many recent at
tacks on the civil service, particu-
larly through the raising OF the
question of apportionment as a
factor in dismiSSalS and the crea'
ton of large new establishments
outside civil service control, Mr..
Mitchelps statement probably will
have a most reassuring effect on
Federal personnel.
Morale Low
It is no secret that morale IN
the Government service has been
practically shattered of late by
the many uncertainties that have
arisen as to wages, working con-
ditions, and security of tenure.
Insistent pressure on the part
of certain members of Congress
for jobs for their constituents, at
the expense of employees now in
the civil service, has brought
matters to head in recent
weeks, and presumably prompted
Mr.. Mitchell'S statement today.
In it ihe says:
There may be instances in
which there have been efforts
to undermine the real spirit
of the merit system by the en-
deavOr to continue and advance
in competitive positions men
and women whose only claim to
those positions has been pOliti-
cal service rather than public
service and demonstrated
ability.
FAVORITISM BARRED
Gin case any such instances
SHUuIu CUNnC LO OuE dtGCHGlOHS
there will be an inquiry to de-
termine whether or not men
and women have been brought
under the protection of civil
service laws, or advanced in
position in violation of the
spirit of those laws.
"If we decide, as a result of
our Investigations, there has
been violation of the spirit of
the cival service laws because of
political favoritism, then we
will not hesitate to report to the
President of the United States
such facts as We have ascer.
tanned, with such recommends
tiOns as the facts seem to war
rant"

CHILD 8 DEATH
BASIS Of SUIT

Claude A. Hodgkins, administra-
tor for the estate of his son,
Claude j. Hodgkins, II, who was
fatally injured while at play in
the Daniel Hurson stoneyard,
Eighth and Franklin Streets
Northeast, last August 4, today
sued for $4,000 against Hurson
in District Supreme Court because
of the death of the boy.
Through Attorney Alvin l..
Newmyer, the father, who lives in
the 1900 block Seventh st. N. E.,
related that Hurson failed to
maintain fences or enclosures
about the yard, in which were
large slabs of stone, logs, lime
pools, and cranes, attractive to
children.
The suit stated that young
Hodgkins, with other boys, was
attracted into the yard and fell
while at play on a crane. The
boy died the following day.

J.: 5. CAFES NOT
To SELL BEER

Hopes of Federal employees that
they could quaff beer in Gov
ernment operated cafeterias this
summer vanished today on re-
ceipt of a letter by Capt. F. w,
Hoover, manager of the Welfare
and Recreational Association,
from Secretary of Interior Ickes,
Secretary Ickes informed Cap
tain Hoover he definitely op-
posed sale of beer in the Interior
cafeteria and his attitude is un-
derstood to reflect that of other
Cabinet officers who discussed the
problem at the request of Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, at a recent
Cabinet meeting.
Opposition to the sale of beer
closes the matter entirely, Cap
tain Hoover said, today and the
Welfare Association will abandon
all plans for placing the beverage
on sale in Government buildings.

NEW BANK SEES
STOCK SALE
RESPONSE
Head of Hamilton National,
Merger of Closed Units,
Expresses Optimism

Sale of stock in the Hamilton
National Bank of Washington,
being formed through the merg-
ing of prime" or good assets
of several local restricted banks,
is meeting with favorable re-
Sponse today, Edwin c. Graham,
president, reported.
Supplies of subscription blanks
have been sent to participating
banks by the general subscription
committee for the convenience of
stockholders and depositors Of
each of the institutions taking
part in the merger.
DepOsitOrs Invited
Stockholders in the "old" banks
are benig asked to subscribe as
heavily as they can for stock in
the new bank, and depositors are
being asked to subscribe 10 per
cent of their balances as of
March 3, eve of the bank holiday.
Capital of the Hamilton Ma
tional is to be $1,000,000 with a
surplus of $25O,O0O. Each share
sells for $25, of which $40 is for
capital and SIS for surplus.
Stock is to be paid for out of
the SO per cent of deposits to be
released with the opening Of
the Hamilton.
The other so per cent is to be
left with the old bank for liquida-
ton by conserVators of the insti-
tutionS.
How Plan Works
Thus if a depositor had bal
ance of $1,000 in his bank when
the holiday lid was clamped
down, and subscribes for 10 per
cent or 4 shares at $25 per share
in the new Hamilton. he would
have $4O0 Immediately available
for withdrawal or other uses
when that bank opens.
The new bank will have no COIL
nection with any other bank. AS
the member banks are lquldated
they will disappear.
Plans for reopening the United
States Savings Bank as an indi-
vidual institution have been
placed before Treasury officials,
stockholders and depositors by
Col. Wade H. Cooper, president.

NORTON INSISTS
ON QUORUM
FOR ACTION
Without Such Guarantee, Will
Not Consider Measure;
Opposition Grows

The House District Committee
got out of control at a special
meeting today and virtually killed
the bill which provides for the
merger of the washington and
Georgetown Gas Light Companies.
While the committee adjourned
without taking action because OF
lack of quorum, there was more
pronounced opposition to the
measure than on Wednesday when
it was first voted down and then
passed over until today because
of absence of quorum.
The meeting today was called by
Representative Mary T. Norton,
Democratic chairman, in the hope
that the committee would make
a favorable report SO that the
measure could be taken up on
Monday in the House, Speaker
Henry T. Rainey having con-
sented to permit consideration of
the measure if it was on the
House calendar at the time.
Weideman in Opposition
AS on Wednesday, Representa-
tive Carl M. Weideman CD Of
Michigan led the opposition.
Weideman declared that he was
going to see that the proposed
merger bill was drafted so as to
prohibit any new stock being sold
to any outside interest, He as
serted that he was vitally in
terested in keeping the Chase
National Bank and Wall Street
out of the local utility field.
Representative T h dore B.
Werner DO of South Dakota
made the motion to adjourn and
then launched an attack on pub
lie utility interests.
Werner declared that the public
utilities are primarily responsible
for conditions today and charged
that while their officials walk the
street as gentlemen, they are more
or less corrupt"
Not an Emergency
Werner also objected to con-
Sideration of the bill at this time,
declaring he did not believe it was
emergency legislation and assert
ing that if this bill was permitted
to go through that it would per
NIT consideration of flood Of
other bills which in the section
concerned are of emergency ma
ture.

Represen IT. i've Thomas j.
O'Brien Cd of Illinois continued
his opposition and, in supporting
the Werner motion to adjourn,
made the sensational statement
that he had gone over the COM
mittee chairman's head and talked
about the bill with Speaker
Rainey.
O'Brien also declared emphat-
ically that he would not permit
the House District Committee to
legislate at any time unless a
quorum was present.
Confers With Sperry
Following adjournment. Chair
man Norton conferred with
Marcy L. Sperry, president of the
