Use the Cellar.

A cellar is often the coolest and most
convenient place in the house for stor-
ing food, but many people fail to use it
in this way, because of the fear Of
dampness. A box of quicklime, kept on
the floor near the food, will absorb all
dampness as quickly as 1t rises, and will
keep the food unharmed.

RANDOLPH STUDIES
D. c. LIQUOR LAW
Believes Congress Should
Pass Measure Soon as
Model for Nation.

Plans for making the new law to con-
troll the liquor traffic in the District
after the eighteenth amendment has
been repealed a model for the entire
country are being studied by Repre-
sentative Jennings Randolph. Democrat.
of West Virginia, member of the House
District Committee. He believes this is
one of the first measures that should
be passed by Congress when it recon-
venes, not only because Congress must
act as State Legislature for the Dis
trict, but to set an example to the
States
Randolph is holding conferences with
Chairman King Of the Senate District
Committee, Chairman Norton of the
House District Committee and other
members of the committee, as well as
with Corporation Counsel William W.
Bride and other Government officials
and leaders in civic and welfare work.
He expressed eagerncSs to cooperate
with all those interested in the subject
in an effort to work out the best pos
sible law.
More than 10 proposals already have
been studied by Randolph. who has as
.sembled much data on the subject in
anticipation of the hearings, which will
probably be held in joint session be-
tween the Senate and House Commit
tees, or by joint subcommittee. as soon
as Congress meets.
Two essential features of the pro-
posed model law" are stressed by Rep
resentativc Randolph-it must prevent
the return of the saloon and must pro-
mote temperance.

PARK SAVINGS BANK
WINS LEGAL tilt
80 900 Suit Of Plaintiffs Dismissed,
With Permission to Amend
in Two Weeks.

The Park Savings Bank won a pre-
lininary legal skirmish in District Su-
preme Court today when Justice Oscar
r. Luhring dismissed on technical
grounds two damage suits which had
been filed against the bank. The dis
missal of the suits. however, was ac-
companied by permission to amend
them in two weeks.
The suits were filed by Joseph P.
Maher, 1901 Juniper street, and Logan
Pingree Co.. Inc, 1920 Garfield street.
Both plaintiffs, who were depositors in
the bank, contended bank officials had
said the institution was in excellent
financial condition at time when half
its assets had been stolen or diSsipated.
The plaintiffs alleged the officers and
directors should have known of the
banks condition. Maher claimed he
was damaged to the extent of $4,000
and the Pingree Co. asked $4,000 dam
ages.
Although the original suits have
been dismissed the actions will be re-
instated when the amended declarations
are filed.

EzON|NG IS ASKED
ON APARTMENT LOT
Protesting Property Owners
Would Prevent Rebuild
ing of Structure.

The hearing before the Zoning Com
mission took an odd turn today when
a group of citizens from the Brightwood
section struck back at project to
build an apartment house in their midst
by petitioning to rezone the apartment
lot SO only detached or semi-detached
houses could be built there.
However the owner of the property,
Israel Diamond, has already filed an
application for building permit. The
result of granting the citizens petition
now would not prevent him from build
ing his apartment but it would prohibit
any future change in construction of
the apartment building. If the apart
built but could be replaced only by
detached or semi-detached residences
The proposal involves the square
bounded by Sixth, Seventh and Nichol-
son streets and public-owned property
north of Concord avenue through
which the projected Fort drive will
eventually run.
Misinformation Is Recited.
A group of residents headed by Ed
ward j. Hickey appeared before the
commission to argue its case. Hickey
said that SIX years ago a member of
tNS tllen LONlng commission, WnOm ne
was unable to identify, informed him
that it was not legal to build apart
ment houses in "A area" zones. Mem
bers of the commission today expressed
great interest in learning the source
Of this information, since apartment
houses have been allowed in "A areas"
during the past 10 years.
Arno B. Cammerer, director of ma
tional parks, buildings and reservations,
sat as member of the commission for
the first time since his new Job was
created and the job Of director Of public
buildings and parks, formerly held by
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, was abolished.
13 Cases on Docket.
There were 13 cases on the docket
today, but only nine had been heard
up to noon. All the applications for
changes in zones stirred up more or
less opposition except a request to
change from second commercial 9O-foot
B area to first commercial 90-foot B
area a strip 100 feet wide on the new
Louisiana avenue from Indiana avenue
to the first commercial zone fronting
New Jersey avenue.
There were only two opponents to a
request for a change from residential
to first commercial in the coming of
602-G14 Twentieth street and 2008
Hillyer place.
George Washington University filed
an objection to change from residential
to first commercial of 300 to 808 Twen-
tieth street.
