Susie?" She was a short Wo-

and although she was the sort

nothing in the least old-fash-

"Well, well, we'll! Will you

When are you going to bring

"Oh, very Soon," Susan an

One building-loan official said:

OF course, the modernization
loan provisions must not be con.

met with the favor of local agen,

shrewd banker had this to say:
"The plan calls for q premium

principal sum Of the original
loan.
"FOr instance, a $4,000 loan
would require a $50 annual pre-
MUM.
During the course Of pay

of the loan would be reduced
to, say $1,000, but still the pre-

original amount Of the prin.

D. c. PROBATION
SYSTEM

When the next Congress takes
UP the matter Of amending the
present probation laws Of the Dis
trict, the Bar Association will have
at hand a thorough analysis OF
the problem and will know exactly
which way to jump.
The subject matter comes d.
rectly under the Committee on
Criminal Law and its Enforce
ment, of which William E. Leahy
is chairman. Because of its un
usual elements and its relation to
social welfare work, however, Mr..
Leahy and F. Regis Noel, presi
dent Of the association, have de-
cided on the appointment of a
subcommittee to go into the queS
ton intensively.
Raymond Sparks. r. E. L.
Smith, Needham C. Turnage, Wal.
ter M. Shea, Leo A. Rover, and
Simon Hirshman compose the
committee.
Preliminarily the committee will
make study of the pending act,
which would place the welfare
agencies in the position Of officers
of the District Supreme Court,
and will then undertake to tighten
the reputedly slack probationary
system now in operation here.
Once it was Judge Michael M.
Doyle-but now it is just plain
Skipper Doyle.
That faraway look in the eyes
of Mr.. Doyle has now been &C.
counted for.
He didn't want it known until
he learned how to maneuver it, but

Of a fine cabin cruiser, the Mer.
appi, a 43-footer, which he will
keep for the time being at his
summer place at Bay Head.
Fred Thuee is to be the cabin

to perform his duties at the office,

there while the Skipper is boat
