CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
IL Q.N.SO.-Creation of an in
surance authority in New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts,, Con-
necticut, Pennsylvania and Ohio
to administer a joint unemploy-
ment insurance fund was urged
before the University of Virginia's
Institute Of Public Affairs today
by Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins.
This authority, Miss Perkins de-
clared in prepared paper, should
be modelled after the port authori-
ties of New York and New Jersey,
and kept entirely free from po-
litical influence. She will ad-
dress the assembly tonight. She
declared:
"These States, all with large
industrial interests in common,
have been interested in unem-
plOyment insurance problems
for several years.

question f@ey may come to the
conclusion that it would be ad.

ing out Of widespread unemplOy-
ment. But whatever is done to
establish a system will benefit
the great army of workers. The
end, rather than the means, is
the thing"
WRECKED BY POLITICS
Miss Perkins asserted the Eng
lisn unemployment insurance plan
after making a. wonderful start
along sound lines, was partially
wrecked through political inter
ference. She pointed out:
"It should be remembered
that the dOle-the payment Of
relief funds to all the unem-
plOyed-waS dumped on Eng
lands unemployment insurance

those who paid no premiums.
"The draft on the insurance
fund for the dole, and the heavy
tax on the British treasury to
bolster the fund SO as to take

intended to provide, have done
much to diScredit unemplOy-

Amendment will be "a matter OF

lature meets August II, Delegate

Reid said:
I believe the only thing that
may slow down passage Of the
legislation will be drafting Of
licensing laws for the sale Of
beer.
"These laws should be drafted
In such a way that the State
will receive the maximum of
revenue without injuring mer-
chants who might desire to sell
beer"
Reid said he is studying the
possibility Of issuing two sorts of
licenses, one strict on sale
license and the other an un-
limited license which would pro-

RIGHT To LEVY
PROH|B|TORY
FEE DENIED
S., 900 Impost Held Excessive
and Towns Powers Are
Deemed Negative

The mayor and town council of
Takoma Park, Md, we're today
enjoined from interfering with
the sale of beer in a decision
handed down by Judge Charles
w. Woodward in circuit court at
Rockville.
Nick Bougades obtained beer
license from the State and had
also paid his Federal tax only
to find that he could not sell
beer in Takoma Park without
paying an additional town license
fee of $1,000 under an ordinance
passed by town officials April IT.
Through attorneys Whiteford and
CiSsel Of Rockville, he filed in
junction proceedings June 2.
Zee PrOhibitive"
Judge woodward in his opinion
stated that this court can come
to no other conclusion than that
the fee required by his ordinance
is not only unreasonable, but is
excessive and prohibitory."
He also called attention to the
fund Of $4,000 a year to be ap-
Piled by the State comptroller to
expenses of his office and the Of
flee of the bureau of state
licenses under the beer act with
pro rata reduction which will go
to the city, incorporated town or
the county in which the icensee
operates. This, Judge woodward
held, shows that the act, among
other things, is a revenue measure
passed for the benefit of the in
corporated towns and counties of
Maryland. It operates uniformly
throughout the state, except in
towns and counties specifically
exempted, of which neither Mont
gomery county nor Takoma Park
is one.
Authority Revoked
Judge Woodward said that the
court is of the opinion that the
intention Of the legislature in the
acts Of 1888 was to adopt a new
and original law setting up a COM
plete system of supervision and
regulation over the sale of bever-
ages specified in the act. The
legislature Of Maryland by the
passage of this act, and especially
by certain of its provisions, not
only intended but did repeal Sec
ton $50 of Article Is of the pub
Lie local laws Of Montgomery
county (town charter of Takoma
Park, so far as it applies to the
power of the municipality to i'm
pose a license fee for the sale of
beverages specified in the act.

 "But?"
 She took it as a solemn pledge She's that sort. I daresay you re- member her at that garden-par- tg too? She was probably there"
 "Oh. nol1 he replied with con- viction. She wasn't there!"
 He felt her glance at him. He left the cleaning black discs and came towards her, but before he reached her side any surprise that his tone had caused her was obviously brushed from her mind. Her own preoccupation held her. She stood frowning down into the small but welcome log fire.
 You're putting on spectacles to search out trouble?" Armitage rallied her.
 She smiled at the familiar adage put denied that she was doing anything of the sort.
 She took another cigarette from aim, lit it and drew a nervous puff or two. Armitage was per- 'ectly aware of the situation She believed that he wanted to marry Ter and, being prepared to con- ;ent, she had had the honesty to varn him that he might be ally ng himself with-what?

Al Smith and Mayor Mckee Approve Mayor
 OBriens Program.
(New York World -Telegram)

The financial crisis that confronts the
 city is most serious and drastic cut in the
 cost of government must be accomplished
 Through salary reductions a considerable
 saving will be effected but we must go much
 further and secure greater economies. Every
 unnecessary position must be eliminated.
 Bureaus and departments must be merged
 and general reorganization of departments
 effected. Waste and extravaganza must be
 eliminated wherever found. From Mayor
 O'Brien's inaugural address
 With every outward indication of complete har- mony within the ranks of the Democratic Party, Mayor John P OBrien outlined his administrative program today in the Aldermanic Chamber at City Hall in the presence of Alfred E. Smith and Joseph ". Mckee both of whom pledged their cooperation and support.
 The incoming Mayor stressed his realization of the seriousness of the citys financial crisis promised to effect needed reforms and insisted that he would permit tamperng with borough and county autonomy
 He announced himself in favor of charter re- vision but withheld his complete program until his recently appointed committee has reported to him He enlarged somewhat the suggestions he has made for effecting immediate economies, and then listed eleven major points of his program.
 These are l. Creation of centralized purchasing depart ment for the purchase of all supplies paid for from funds in the city treasury. 2. Abolition of the Department of Weights and Measures and vesting of these functions in the Department of Public Markets 3. Abolition of the Board of Taxicab Control and vesting of it's functions in the Police De- partment
 4. Abolition of the City Planning Commission and vesting of it's functions in the Chief Engineer of the Board of Estimate. 5. Abolition of the Bill Drafting Commission and imposing it's duties on the Law Department 6. Consolidation of inspection of buildings now scattered through several departments. | T. Reorganization of the Department of Sani- taton that greater efficiency and economy may result from it's activities
 8. Payment of real estate taxes quarterly instead of semi-annually g. Creation of a capital outlay budget 1 10. Establishment of executive budget. II. Abolition of the Sinking Fund Commission and the transfer of it's functions to the Board ot Estimate.

ing for him to propose to her.
 Armitage owed a great deal of his success to his ability to meet honesty with honesty. He took Leila's hand and kissed it.
 My dear" he said. T want you to forgive me and to help me. I have been set apart for one par i ticular girl all my life, but today 1 I found her. And she tells me that she is going to marry some one else next Thursday"
 Leila's hand was still in his and 1t betrayed her. The little shock that went through it passed into his encircling fingers-passed, he thought, into his heart, for he loathed hurting a woman. He forced himself to look at her-and saw, underneath her amazement, something very like relief. She had the air of one who has es- caped.
 The next second they were both laughing historically. He controll- bed himself before she could and bent over her hand again.
 T want you to let me send you an emerald" he said irrelevantly. lsSThis isn't perfect. And I know you like 'em."
 She stopped laughing.

DEATH SHOCKS FRIENDS OF
 ROLLY DAVIS.

Hundreds of Alaskans lost good friend when Capt. Rowland E. Davis died suddenly at Seattle. He had been active in his business in high positions for cannery companies along the Alaska Coast for quarter of a century. Before that he had been prominent for many years in the Puget Sound country where he was pioneer in the fish, ing industry. At one time he was the leading salmon trap owner in the country. He represented both San Juan and Skagit Counties in the Wash ington Legislature at different times and was a political power in those and other counties. He was rated as an expert all things connected with fishing and navigation in Puget Sound and Alaska waters

that through all my earliest years there was MT. Quentin, MT. Lodely and father. And then there was smash. And then MT. Lodely shot himself, leaving Mrs. Lodely and Mark nothing.
 And then MT. Quentin died- and Mrs. Quentin died because he died-leaving Barbara even less And then father built this house and packed me off to a decent school and blossomed out gener- ally. Bit-odd, isn't it?" tf@
 "Oh, I don't know! shouldn't necessarily think it odd. Some ol my own transactions could bt made to look pretty odd if they were reeled off like that; but they were straight enough. I'm satis. fled of that"

 "Oh, Barbaral" Leila was cas- ual, too, genuinely so. "One can imagine she'd care about anything for herself, though, of course, sh, would cut off hand for Mark She's wrapped up in him"

A Woman Politician.
(New York Times.)

Mrs. Henry Moskowitz, whose death yesterday we regret to record, will be much missed by her many friends for her unusual personal qualities But to students of politics in this city and State for the past decade she will remain notable as woman who had remarkable alent for public life. Her knowledge of and measures was comprehensive and minute. master in that field himself, Gov. Smith always recognized kindred spirit in Mrs. Moskowitz, and long counted upon her aid and advice. For some time officially connected with the Democratic Committee, she steadily enlarged her knowledge of political conditions in New York, and came to be recognized as a shrewd interpreter of political movements and keen judge of the men engaged in them. Content to remain for the most part behind the scenes she took an active interest
 in many public causes and developed ability in quietly directing their management, and in work ing with influential men and women for the ends which they cherished in common, that won for her wide respect and admiration She showed what a woman of intelligence and special aptitudes do if she applies her mind to political affairs When an English girl recently great prize for schol- arship at Cambridge Universitl, which had never before gone to woman, it was remarked that women had through centuries simply been competing for men, but now that they had begun competing against them there is telling what they may do It certainly the with Mrs. Moskowitz that she prepared to hold her own with the most skilled male politicians in this city and State.

CHAPTER '. EXPLAINING SUGAR" CANE

Leila was gorgeously dressed-in Farrell's opinion, too gorgeously for the informal dance to which they were going.
 Nevertheless, he admitted that gorgeousness suited her. Over a dance-dress of scarlet chiffon, she wore short coat of gold tissue, ,ec- centrically patched and fringed with silver. Her silver shoes had emer- aid heels and there was a square emerald on her finger.
 He remembered a mischievous chuckle from hs old vicar-"Leila Cane-ah, yes, heart of gold, I know, and priced accordingly"
 'No," she said, startling Farrel back to himself. Nothing .you could call a reason. Only this

SYNOPSIS: Just as her fa- ther, Sir James Cane, mentions the bankruptcy of his old law firm, Quentin, Lodely & Cane, Leila Cane snatches Farrell Armitage away to tinker with the radio. The bankruptcy brought about the deaths of the senior partners, but Cane prospered. The situation is tangled by the fact that Farrell is supposed to be Leila's suitor, but has just fallen in love with Barbara Quentin. Barbara is to marry Mark Lodcly in five days time. And it was the mismanagement of FarrelPs es-i tate, long ago, that brought about the failure of the old firm. Leila is about to tell Farrell her reason fer suspect ! ing her father. .f
