However, political and trade

EW D. C POLICE COURT TO BE ASKED OF NEXT CONGRESS
Autoists Shun New
Road After Lights
Are Turned Off

Motorists who normally would
use the Mt. Vernon Memorial
Highway in travel between
Alexandria and Washington at
night, are not using the road
so much as formerly, it was
learned today.
The reason is lack of lights.
Officials of the Public Park
Bureau some time ago ordered
the lights turned off 10 con-
serve funds. The highway. one
of the finest drives in this vi
cinity, then degenerated in the
opinion of many motorists to a
"high-accident" quality road.
1t is pointed out that the
high-speed road designed for
travel under lights is dangerous
when the lights are out.

TAKOMA HEADS
FAIL To ACT
ON BEER
Council Shuns Talk of Brew
At Meeting; Appeal From
Court Decision Likely

The mayor and town council of
Takoma Park, Md, last night
ignored the subject of beer after
a large audience of citizens and
reporters appeared at the meet
ing to hear the matter discussed.
The beer subject had been ex-
pected to cause a long battle at
the meeting as result of the
refusal of the Montgomery county
circuit court to uphold a $1,000
town sales tax on the beverage.
Mayor Fredrick Lewton, discus
sing the matter after the meeting,
declared that as yet he has no
plans to further the fight for the
high tax.
He declared that the case may
be taken to the Maryland Court of
Appeals at Annapolis in the fall,
but said that the town heads had
not yet conferred with the town
council as to the advisability.
Apparently the dry forces of
the town will base their hope in
a referendum which may be
taken after January /. Provision
for this referendum was made in
the State beer law, passed at the
last General Assembly. and gives
the right of referendum to 18
districts of Montgomery county.
A total of 20 per cent of the
registered voters of the town
would have to petition for the
referendum.
Meanwhile restaurant men and
store owners of the town are
preparing to start the sale of
beer. It is believed that thirsty
residents of the town H:H have
the beverage by nightfall. For
the time being, at least, no town
tax may be imposed on dealers,

QUARTERS HELD
UNSAN|TARY,
FIRE TRAP
Rooms Too Small, Cells Unable
To Hold Prisoners; Chambers
For Juries Lack Windows

The next session of Congress
will be urged by District Police
Court officials to provide new
quarters for the court.
The present building is de-
Scribed as inadequate, unsanitary
and fire trap. Equipment, it is
reported, is in the poorest pos
sible condition and needs replace
nent.
Fire is Menace
The fire menace is especially
grave. Despite District regula-
tions, the firefighting equipment
is not in good condition. Court
rooms are too small to accommo-
date the crowds attending the
court safely and the cells, where
prisoners are detained, are worse
than the public parts of the build
ing.
In the cell for "drunks" ap-
proximately 40 to $50 prisoners
are frequently crowded into
space less than 20 feet square.
The jury rooms are small cubi-
cles, ventilated on only one side
and with only small windows
opening on court.
Bad for the Sick
The entire building, according
to court officials, is so filthy that
sanitation is impossible. Halls
and aisles are carpeted with an
cient rubber mating, so worn
that walking is dangerous.
There are no emergency or
first-aid rooms or accommoda-
tions. When a person faints, as
frequently happens, he or she
has to lie on the floor or be
propped in a chair. Sick pris-
oners have to lie on the dirty
floors until the ambulance ar
rives.

Rabid Dogs Disappear From District AS
Result of Muzzling Regulations
Pound Master Reports But
One Case This Summer;
Strays Rounded Up

Rabies has practically disap-
peared in the District.
The pound master, Walter 1.
Smith, has had only one authentic
case of rabies this summer. He
has at present a half dozen or
so dogs under observation but
none of them, he says. have the
disease.
Smith attributes the disap-
pearance of the once dreaded
malady to the care taken by the
District to keep stray and un-
muzzled dogs off the street.
Dogs suspected of having rabies,
which includes dogs who have
bitten someone or who have been
acting queerly, are kept under OBJ
Servation at the pound for 10
days. If the disease does not de-
velop in that time the person bit
ten is safe, even if the dog should
develop the disease later on.
Sympathy for the poor little
doomed dogs" at the District
pound is wasted.
Pound Master Walter Smith
has waiting list of more than
a hundred dogless homes, and
not enough dogs to fill the need.
Smith says he never has to
doom a good dog" (meaning a
healthy, good tempered one) to
death. There are always more
demands for the dogs than he
can fill.
Little dogs-big dogs-someon
always has a vacant place in
their homes that just that par
ticular dog can fill. And for
those, sick in mind or body, that
Smith condemns to die, there is
a painless, easy route to dog
heaven. A much happier fate,
according to the pound master,
than roaming the streets, kicked
and starved.
Recently the pound kennels
have been crowded. The depres-
sion, says Mr.. Smith, is hurting
the dogs as well as human
beings.
He says:
eve pick up on the streets
a far greater number of
healthy, we'll cared for dogs
than in the past. And then
there are the people who call
me and ask me to come get
pets for which they no longer
can provide"

 gram for U. s.
MANY MEASURES
 BEFORE CONGRESS
International Angle oi Economic Conditions
 to Be Taken Up

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Presl- cent Roosevelt is preparing for an early conclusion of his domestlc emergency program.

 Two billion city home mortgage refinancing plan.

Denver, (UP)-Bi-metal and the adequate issue of legal tender paper, based upon the government tai holdings of gold and silver, is the only safe imitation at the pres ent hour.
 Imitation is necessary and at once, or debts soon will exceed the total property prices in this coun- try and most other countries of the world.
 And So called money issued upon bonds is not a safe imitation. Such money" is merely a debt with .an- other debt for it's foundation. Why is safe imitation necessary Because imitation. for want of money and money credit, has reached the point of destruction. e
 Nations Wealth
 According to the appraisal of the National Industrial Conference board, published in New York, May 22, 1883, our national wealth in 1920 was $488, 700, ,O00, ,000; in 1882, our national wealth was $247,000,- 100000; shrinkage-largely since 1929-of $241,700,000,000.
 That shrinkage was due entirely to insufficient money and money credits in circulation. And grievous as has been the loss, to large hold CTS of wealth. the most painful loss has been endured by farm owners and home owners and small inves- tors.
 In plain words, in three years of defiation. the accumulated wealth
