Lunches for Needy
School Children
In Summer Urged
Mrs. H. G.. Doyle, Mem.
Der of Education Board, J,
Makes Proposal.

Needy school children would re-
ceive free hot lunches throughout the
Summer vacation period as well as
on intervening Saturdays during the
regular school term if Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle, vice president of the
Board of Education, had her way.
Mrs. Doyle made this proposal at
the meeting of the School Board late
yesterday when she cited the regular
visits of needy children to their
schools for lunches during the pres
ent Easter holidays.
II believe we should undertake to
provide these children with their
lunches throughout the Summer vaca-
tion," Mrs. Doyle told the board.
There is no question about their
needs and there Is grave question
about the ability Of these youngsters
to receive proper food during the
long vacation. I believe, too, we
should extend the lunch program to
include the Saturdays Of the school
years instead of providing the lunches
only on school days"
Mrs. Doyle said she would not make
a formal recommendation Of the con-
tinuation of the lunch service through
the Summer to the District Commis-
sioners until a thorough study had
been made Ito determine just how
many children would 60 to the
schools during the vacation for lunch. :"
She also recommended q study Of
the nursery schools now being oper-
ated out of relief funds to determine
whether 1t would be wise to continue
this project through the vacation also.
Mrs. Doyle pointed out that the nur-
sery schools are still too new to us
to know exactly how far we should
20 with them," but she was con-
vinced they should be observed closely
so that every advantage could be
taken of their facilities.

PARKING CHANGES
MEET OPPOSITION
Store Managers Urge That
Merchants First Be
Consulted.

Washington department store man
ayers were on record today in oppo-
siton to any major changes being
made in downtown parking regula-
tions without first submitting such
proposals to the merchants affected
for their consideration.
At meeting yesterday the depart
ment store managers group of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
ciation discussed at length the prob
lem of parking in the business section
In a resolution adopted they said:
I'VE are e.strenuously opposed to any
major changes being made in down.
town parking regulations without
same being first submitted to the mer-
chants of the district affected for
consideration and suggestions"
Oppose Delivery Ban.
Sylvan King, chairman Of the
group. presided at the meeting. The
principal objection of the merchants
it was said, is the restriction of park
ing to the point where deliveries OF
merchandise to business houses are
banned. In the case Of restaurants
and other establishments handling
perishable goods, such regulations
would constitute an undue hardship.
Meanwhile, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association made pub
lie the results of a survey Of mer-
rho ptS NJ, = efroof ~, tho c,,hiorf ~
banning parking on that thorough
fare on Saturday afternoons.
The answers to a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by Edward D. Shaw, secretary
of the association, revealed that 36
out of ~ queried opposed the elm
ination of parking, while indorsed
it. The same number opposed elm
mating parking at all times.
Cite Reduction in Business.
Twenty-fofr business houses said
the elimination of parking on F
street last Saturday had the effect of
reducing the volume of their busi-
ness. Only one reported the change
made no difference.
Replying to the question, Would
active enforcement Of the one-hour
parking regulation be the best solu-
tion to the parking problem?" 40
answered in the affirmative, 3 in the
negative. The one-hour parking rule
was Endorsed by 80 merchants, while
l felt it should be extended to two
hours.
The Board Of Governors Of the as
sociation has taken no action to date
on the problem.

LIQUOR STAMP TAX
FOR D. c. APPROVED
Favorable House Report
Also Made on Chain
Store Licenses.

The House District Committee In q
special meeting today voted favorable
reports on two bills carrying amend
ments to the alcoholic liquor control
act. One of these provides for a
stamp tax method of collecting the
revenue as provided in the original
act. This bill was sponsored by Rep
resentative Palmisano of Maryland at
the request of the District Commits
sioners. The other bill authorized the
issuance of licenses to chain stores
where the original act would allow
only one license to chain store sys-
tenn. This was the Black bill and
was advocated by Representative Pat
man, Democrat, of Texas, who pre-
viously had opposed the granting of
licenses to chain stores.
Mrs. Norton Presides.
Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey, chairman of the commit
tee. presided for the first time in sew
eral weeks. She has been absent from
the Capitol owing to the critical ILL
ness of her husband.
Corporation Counsel Prettyman said
that there row is no adequate way of
checking the present system of COL
lecting the revenue on liquor sales
because there are too many loopholes
in the original law. The Alcoholic
Liquor Control Board is having trouble
in enforcing the law and in collecting
the proper amount of revenue. For
that reason a stamp tax was devised
which does not change the amount
of the tax, but directs that it shall
be paid through purchase of revenue
stamps to be affixed to the immediate
container in which the wine, cham
payne, liquor or alcohol are dispensed
Black Bill Amended.
The Black bill permitting chain
stores to get off-sale licenses was
amended so that this would not take
effect for 80 days after the bill was
enacted. The purpose of this was to
take care of number of Independent
stores which had taken out licenses
and gone to considerable expense with
the expectation that they would not
have competition from the chain
stores
The motion on which this bill as
amended was favorably reported was
made by Representative Dirksen of
Illinois.

rather have the overdue payments
than nave the property come back on
their hands, and because they know
they can arrange for the foreclosure
sale at any time. They argued. how
ever, that with 80 days Of notice after
default and the possibility of another
month q two to complete the fore
closure sale, trust holders would be
inclined to start foreclosure proceed
ings Immediately after default In pay
ments.
Alan Fisher, Q delegate to the Citi-
zens' Federation, appeared to give his
individual support to the bill.

In the center of another Macon

Indian who evidently had been a man
Of importance. The flesh had been
removed from his bones after death,
and these had been arranged in q

tightly in skins. Then they had been

Find Town Visited
BY De Soto in 1540.
A mound site in the mountains of

by fernando De Soto in 1540. also
has been the site of C. w. A.-Smith-
sonian excavations under the direc-
ton Of Jesse D. Jennings of the Uni

It was described at the time Of De
Soto's visit as town Of 600 wooden
houses-probably an exaggeration-
and the capital OF a province where
the hungry Spaniards were given a
hearty welcome and feasted upon dog
meat. They arrived at this town

caught and cooked some Of the Indian
dogs, to the amazement of the natives
who never ate these animals The red
men at once rounded up 800 of the
creatures and gave them to the white
men to cook.

Measure Would Transfer to
Commissioners All
Boards Power.
PAROLE LEGISLATION
ALSO IS GIVEN HOUSE
Federal Board Would Get Power
Over D. c. Prisoners Held
in U. S. Institutions.

The proposed bill for reorganization
of public welfare work in the District
Of Columbia. prepared by the corpo-
ration counsel at the request of the
District Commissioners. was intro
duced in the House today by Chair
man Norton Of the House district
Committee. The purpose of this meas
ure is to transfer to the Commission
ers all the powers and authorities
now exercised by the Board Of Public
Welfare. The Commissioners have
asked that the House District Com
mittee make this emergency legisla-
tion and endeavor to expedite its pas
sage.
Commissioner Hazen emphasized
that the Commissioners being re-
sponsible for the general welfare OF
the District, their powers should equal
their responsibility. He declared that
"it Is. theefore, essential that the
duties of the Board of Public Welfare
should be vested in the Commits
sioners."
Penitentiary Was Planned.
Chairman Norton also introduced al
the request Of the Commissioners a
bill to confer upon the Federal Parole
Board the same power over prisoners
convicted in the District and confined
in the Federal penal institutions as is
conferred upon the District Parole
Board over prisoners confined in the
penal institutions Of the District.
Mr.. Hazen explained to Mrs. Norton
that at the time the parole law fol
the District government, which wa.
approved July Is, 1882, was enacted, II
was the intention to erect a peniten-
tiary upon a portion of the site oc.
cupied by the reformatory at Lorton
Va. in which to conflne hardened
criminals for whom the conditions al
the reformatory were unsuitable How
ever, due to lack Of funds, this project
has been abandoned temporarily. anc
it may become necessary to send tc
the Federal penal institutions certain
prisoners convicted of crime in the
District.
Indefinite Terms Given.
The power of the Federal Parole
Board is limited to prisoners sentenced
to definite terms, whereas prisoners
convicted of felony in the District OF
Columbia are given indefinite SEN
tences
Since the jurisdiction of the Parole
Board created by the act of Congress
is limited to prisoners confined in the
penal institutions of the District
there is no provision of law for the
parole Of prisoners convicted in the
District who are confined in the penal
institutions of the United States. As
Congress unquestionably intended that
prisoners convicted in the District
should be entitled to parole, Corpo-
ration Counsel Prettyman pointed
out, in explaining this proposed legis-
lation to the House District Com
mittee today, their confinement in a
Federal penal institution, where they
are deprived Of the benefits Of parole
would therefore be illegal.
The District Commissioners urged
the House District Committee to take
early action on this bill.

FEDERATION RAPS
FORECLOSURE BILL
Spokesman Fear Period of
Grace Would Injure
Those in Distress.

The bill to require 90-day period
Of grace before mortgage foreclosure
proceedings could start in the District
was opposed by the Federation of
Citizens Associations at Senate
Subcommittee hearing conducted by
Senator Capper of Kansas yesterday.
George E. Sullivan testified the fed
Grafton fears the bill will place added
budens on those in distress and make
it more difficult for them to finance
their homes. Sullivan was accom-
panied by Thomas E. Lodge, an officer
Of the federation.
F. G. Addison. jr, of the District
Of Columbia Bankers Association said
his organization does not believe there
has been sufficient abuse under the
present system to justify q change in
the law, but If there is to be a new
law on the subject the pending bill,
allowding period of grace before in
stead of after the foreclosure sale, is
the best and preferable plan. He told
Senator Capper the pending bill Is q
workable measure, but would have the
effect of adding to the expenses of
the property owner.
Represents Realtors.
Roger J. Whiteford, representing the
Washington Real Estate Board, said
the position Of his organization also Is
that, if Congress thinks the present
system should be changed, the pending
bill meets every legitimate and reason
able criticism Of the present situation.
and if there Is to be a change. he
favors this bill.
Former Corporation Counsel Bride
explained the bill was drafted in the
counsel's office and was intended to
provide a simpler and less compli-
Gated procedure than was contem-
plated by previous bills considered by
Congress few years ago, which called
Tor periods Of redemption after the
sale instead of days of grace before
the sale. Bride said the restrictions
thrown around foreclosure procedure
by the bill would cost the property
owner more, but would give him the
security Of specified period of grace
after the day of default.
Assistant Corporation Counsel w. II.
Wahly said various groups were called
together to draft the bill at the re-
quest of Senator King. who felt prop
critics were being foreelosed without
sufficient notice.
Commissions Limited.
Besides the period Of notice, the bill
limits the percentage Of trustee COM
missions tc 2 per cent of the first S.
600 Of sale price over and above the
amount of any prior mortgage, and
per cent Of the balance. It was
testified that in the majority Of small
cases trustees do not claim q commits
sion under the present practice, and
no opposition to limiting the fees by
law was expressed.
Witnesses explained that under
the present practice the mortgage or
trust holder, in most cases allows as
much time after default As the bill
