Bill GiUes POUer

Broad powers are given the
District superintendent of IN
surance under a bill introduced
yesterday in the House by Rep
resentative Byron B. Harlan (DO
of Ohio.
The measure is designed to
prevent any policy holder from

of the rules.

about banking, and admits it with
frankness.
Almost anybody would cherish
position on the Committee on
Banking and Currency, but she
most certainly would not. If she
we're ever in a position to frame
banking bill, she wouldn't know
where to start first.
But she does sincerely believe
that there are numerous commit
tees in the House where woman
could serve to better advantage
than a man.
Mrs. Jenckes is much interested
in labor, farming and manufac-
turing and hopes she will find
herself listed for things like that.
Saying she might even like
post on the District of Columbia
Committee, Mrs. Jenckes said she
would like to worlA with Mrs.
Mary T. Norton, chairman Of the
committee.
The Congresswoman listened in
on the sessions of the last Con-
gress in an effort to learn what
she could before she became vot-

FATHER JACUAR
GIVEN GATE"

The male jaguar at the ZOO,
father of the recently arrived
litter of pups, has been excluded
from the nursery.
William Blackburn, head keep
er, who removed the father
jaguar Immediately after the
babies were born, said:
"His appetite might get the
better of his paternal instincts
and that would be the end of
our baby jaguarS."
The jugar, according to Mr..
Blackburn, is the worst tenn
pered member of the cat family.
From observing the animals in
captivity he believes the mother
jaguar, in wild life, concealS the
newly-born pups from the male
until they are half-groWn.
The jaguars are receiving a
host of visitors since news of
the infants arrival was pub
liShed but the mother is keeping
them hidden. Zoo attendants
themselves have not seen them.

BLACK DECIDES
NOT To PRESS
BEER BILL
Rep. Norton May Introduce
Measure; N. Y. Legislator
Promises Support

Representative Loring M. Black,
jr. CD, of New York announced
today he would not sponsor a new
beer bill for the District in the
Seventy-third Congress.
Black, author Of the beer bill
introduced in the last Congress,
which would have given the Dis
trict the beverage when national
legislation was passed, said:
81 will leave the beer bill this
time to some other member of
the District Committee. How
ever, 1 will support it,"
It was indicated that the meas
ure might be introduced by Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton, Dem
ocratic chairman Of the commit
tee, and would provide a 80 alco-
holic content, the same as that
specified in the original Black
bill.
Extensive hearings were held
on the Black bill and after a Bit
ter fight by drys it was held up
in the judiciary subcommittee OF
the House District Committee.
There it was amended to con-
form with a bill then before the
Senate which prescribed 3.05 beer.
The bill reached the House calen-
dar but was never called up due
to an agreement that no such
District legislation would be at
tempted until a national beer bill
became a law. Although the
House early last session approved
a national bin authorizing 80
beer, the measure was amended
in the Senate to 3.05 and was
never called up.

The groom from the club will

Laundry Managers Victims of
Series of HoIdups; Pair
Get $35 in Store

Police expect to charge Thomas
H. Jackson, colored, 20, also known
as John Henry, with holdups Of
four women managers Of branches
of the Elite Laundry following
Identification of Jackson at a
police lineup last night by The
women he is accused of robbing.
Jackson, who lives in the 1900
block Ninth st. N. w., is said to
have admitted the hold-ups.
Two hungry robbers late yester-
day held up Charles A. Goodwin,
manager of a Sanitary grocery
store, 400 block K st. N. W., and
took $35.
Food Denied Pair
Goodwin said the men entered
the store and asked for something
to eat. When he said he could
not give them anything, both drew
pistols, forced the manager and
clerk into rear room, looted the
cash register, walked out of the
store and hailed a taxicab.
Two colored men early today
hailed the taxicab of Robert
Pritchard, q, of the 1900 block N
st. N. w., at Third and E Streets
Southwest.
When Pritchard drove up to
the curb, one man stuck pistol
into his side.

j, 8. SALARY GUT
TAKEN WITH
SMILE
Workers ConsoIed by Roose-
veIt's Word of Conforming
to Living Conditions

Federal emplyes, though not
at all happy over the imminent
prospect of a IS per cent pay
cut, have no alternative, appar-
emily, but to accept it, and are
doing so with the best grace pos
sible, according to indications to.
day.
The statement by Luther c.
Steward, president of the Ma
tional Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, assuring cooperation with
the Presidents economy program,
seems to be the keynot of policy
for Federal employees generally.
They are consoled by President
Roosevelt's promise that wages
will be made to conform to living
conditions.
May Be Difficult
It is pointed out, however, that
there may be difficulties in car
rying out this promise, since it
will be dependent to some degree
on the available appropriations,
at least for certain SiX-month
periods.
Moreover, the fixing Of 1928
living costs as the baseline tends
to work to the disadvantage Of
the Federal employees, because the
index figure of living costs in
1923 ranged from ITO to 176, on
the 1913 basis of 100 per cent.
Certain Federal organizations
will not be much affected by the
Is per cent cut for the reason
that they have already, through
insufficient appropriations, been
forced to effect administrative
furloughs, in addition to the leg
islative furloughs provided under
the economy act, to such an eX-
tent that pay has been cut from
15.5 per cent to 1876 per cent.
Has Lower Power
The Federal News today shows
that the $1,26O minimum clerical
salary in the District today, cut
to $1,115 by the Economy Act,
has a purchasing power Of only
1914, as compared with the 5000
minimum salary in effect in 1918.
A Is per cent cut from $1.260
would leave the actual salary
paid only $1,O71 and the purchas-
ing power Of such a salary, on a
1913 basis, would be only about
$500.

"No Use To Advertise" ?

Some business people con- tend that "it's no use to adver- tise because people do not pay any attention to the ads in the paper.' Yet when one enter- prising concern, the Hyder Drug Co.,, purposely published an advertisement upside down last week. nearly everyone in town told us about it. In fact the paper had not been on the street five minutes before our attention was called to the supposed error in position.
 This and many similar exam ples suggest that the only ads that are not read are those in which there is nothing to read. If advertisers would realize this they could speedily get re- suits from their advertising.
