BILL CUTS SHIP
LIQUOR TAX

Steamers operating between
Washington and Norfolk would
be able to sell liquor under a
greatly reduced license fee, under
terms of a bill introduced in the
House today by Representative
Vincent L. Palmisano CD Of
Maryland.
The bill calls for an amendment
to the District liquor law, and
reduces the license fee from $500
to $40 per year.
This change was proposed by
]. A. Riordan, general manager of
the Norfolk and Washington
Steamboat Company, and w. H.
Callahan, traffic manager. with
the explanation that Norfolk
steamers are in District waters
only 80 minutes, and will sell no
more liquor than is sold on rail-
way dining cars, which now pay
only $40.
On introducing the amendment,
Representative Palmisano said the
present law was formed to prevent
small river boats being turned
into floating Saloons" and this
proposal would not conflict with
the intent of Congress.

UNIT ASKS
ABOLITION Of
D, c. CHEST
Substitute Plan, Outlined to
Rep. Mary Norton, Offers
Charity Tax Method

Abolition of the Community
Chest in Washington was advo-
Gated today by the Dahlgren Ter
race Citizens Association.
A substitute plan was offered in
a letter sent to Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New Jer-
sey, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee.
The Association struck at the
Community Chest as having too
high an overhead, failure to reach
it's quota last year, splitting the
money among too many organiza-
tions and duplication in handling
relief.
Details of Plan
Under the new plan offered by
the association, a. committee to
handle the charity funds would
be set up, including representa-
tiveS of the District Commission
ers, Chamber of Commerce, Board
of Trade, Federation of Citizens
Associations, Merchants and Man.
ufacturers Association and the
Federation of Civic Associations.
These members would serve
without pay. They would appoint
an executive officer at a salary of
not more than $500 a year to de-
vote all his time to the work.
Under the new plan there would
be no solicitation of funds, but
the money would be raised through
taxation. It was advocated that
an additional tax of one cent q
gallon be placed on gasoline for
this purpose, additional fees be
levied on commercial vehicles, and
that part of the liquor license fees
be devoted to the charity fund.
Returns To Treasury
It is provided that any funds in
excess of 100000 collected in this
manner but not used for charitable
work be returned to the Treasury.
The association also recon-
mended that the District Engineer
Commissioner be appointed from
civil life rather than from the
Army as at present.
Recommendations that more
stringent laws against crime be
drafted were also voted.

PATENT OFFICE
SHOWS PROFIT

Secretary Of Commerce Roper
announced today that for the first
time since 1922 the Patent Office
is more than paying expenses.
About two years ago, it had a
deficit of $150,000, but this year
it is expected that revenues will
exceed outgo by about 100000.
This will make possible the en-
ployment of so or so lawyers, eX-
aminers and stenographers, the
Secretary said. The Patent Of
flee dropped comparatively few
persons during the economy pro-
gram, because its help is largely
technical and few could be spared.
Former employees will probably
be given first consideration in any
addition to the staff and other
eligibles will be obtained from
civil service lists.
Some of the commissions regis
ters are not very up-to-date, how.
ever, and in view of the commits
sion'S financial straits it is not
giving new examinations at
present.

Pane SmasherS
Loot.3Shops,
Take $462

Two colored thieves using milk
bottle crates early today smashed
three glass doors and stole cloth
ing valued at $462.
They first broke into the Eliza
beth Shepherd dress shop in the
1900 block Thirty-first st. N. w..
and stole dresses valued at $212.
A pedestrian saw them as they
carried the dresses to an auto
mobile.
From the Georgetown shop the
thieves went to upper Fourteenth
Street Northwest and threw a
milk bottle crate through the front
door of Abe Bleickers tailor shop.
There they took men and womens
clothing valued at $212. The shop
is in the 3700 block Fourteenth
Street.
They next struck the store Of
Meyer B. Dodek, 1900 block Sev-
enth st. N. w., and stole eight
suits and an overcoat valued by
Mr., Dodek at $50.

100000 AWARD
IN NLOVE SUIT

Loss of the affections of Rich
ard Lorleberg, former cellist in the
Washington Symphony Orchestra,
was valued at $4,000 by a jury
last night in District Supreme
Court.
The jurors voted an award of
that amount to Mrs. Nancye M.
Lerleberg in a love piracy" suit
against Mrs. Marie deBeauvis
Richards, socially prominent ma
tron.
Mrs. Lorleberg charged her hus-
bands affections were stolen by
Mrs. Richards during 1882, when
he was giving her music lessons.
Their separation occurred the fol
lowing year, it was charged. Mrs.
Lorleberg was represented by At
torney Jean M. Boardman.

Chain Store Licenses
Favored by Citizens

Endorsement Of the Black bill,
which would allow chain stores
in the District to hold. off-sale
liquor licenses, was contained in
a letter sent to Representative
Mary T. Norton CD of New
jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, by the Mid
City Citizens Association today.
Under the present liquor control
law only one store of a chain is
allowed to hold a liquor license.
Change in this was advocated by
the President some time ago.

, Of ours to eat human flesh"
On her first expedition, in
1921, with her husband and Carl
Akeley, Mrs. Bradley. took her
5-year-old daughter Alice.
Instead of handicapping the
trip, the youngster smoothed
things over beautifully with the
natives. Says Mrs. Bradley:
"They hated to give us things
for fear it would give us power
over them-but the little one
was different. They, the can
nibals and pigmies, were darling
to her. Anything she wanted
was hers"
The Bradleys in their three A.
rican expeditions have explored
parts of the western Congo here
tofore unseen by white men. East
and South Africa, according to
Mrs. Bradley, is too civilized to be
interesting. West Africa is still a
land Of mystery, without history
or legend.

Cannibals Called Grand People,
By Noted Woman Explorer
They're Horrified By
Our Barbarisms,
She Declares

Somewhere in the fastness of the
Western Congo, a tiny mirror is
being treasured as the greatest
magic of a cannibal tribe.
The precious bit of glass once
belonged to Mary Hasting Brad
ley, writer and explorer. It was
the mirror in her compact, one
she had carried all over Africa
and it won for her and her party
freedom and "boys" to carry their
luggage back to civilization.
Here at the Mayflower yester-
day, Mrs. Bradley recalled the
mirror, the first time, she said,
she had thought Of it in years.
Compact Saved Her
Someone had asked her if she
carried a compact on her famous
first trip through uncharted

MEASLES TALLY
81 NEW CASES

With 81 new cases reported
today, the measles epidemic here
mounted to a total of 4,534 since
January /. it was announced by
the District Health Department.
Yesterday 103 cases were re-
ported.
No new deaths were reported
yesterday or today, the total
fatalities since the first of the
year remaining at 18. Last year,
the total number of cases for
year was 439, with four deaths.
With the entire Civilian Cen
Servation Corps camp at Fort
Hunt, on the Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway, quarantined
because of an outbreak of
measles, 81 of the youthful work
erS whose enlistments expired
last Sunday have not been per-
mitted to return home.
The "a youths cannot leave
the camp until April 4, and face
the prospect of receiving no ray
for their extra time, since an
act Of Congress would be re-
quired to compensate them. Mean.
while. they are working regularly
with the rest Of the corps Of
200 workers in the camp.
The quarantine was ordered
when it was fou4ld that two of
the workers, who had paid a
visit to Alexandria, had con-
tracted measles. So far none of
their mates have shown symp.
toms of having the disease.

MAN, APE PROVE
MERE COUSINS

There is some relationship but
no close affinity between man and
the great ape.
According to DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of physical anthropology
at Smithsonian Institution, man
and ape are simply cousins in the
animal kingdom. They are con-
sidered, he said, to be living rep
resentatives of distinct stems
which arose from common anceS-
try, probably some time during
the Miocene geologic era, about
25,000,000 years ago, and have
pursued independent courses ever
since.

tried to appear uncOncerned. I
said, Herbert, what are we go
ing to dO?' He replied, Damned
if 1 know all in a treble key.
"StilI trying to be noncha-
liant, I pulled out my compact
and started pOwdering my nose.
The chief saw the little mirror.
I told him it was a yOu-and-me
magic. We finally agreed to ex-
change the mirror for 10 boys.
And we got back unharmed."
Cannibals, according to Mrs
Bradley, are really "granc
people," Their quaint little habit
of devouriug their enemies is
when she explains it, quite un
derstandable. She says:
"They were Mortified when I
told them we had wars in
which thousands of men were
killed and not eaten. They
thought it dreadfuIly wicked
of us to let so much meat go
to waste. It really is only a
taboo, you know, this refusal

in jail for drunken driving in

eyes, and it was a good thing
I did. The cannibal tribe with
whom we had been staying were
more than friendly. In fact,
they were too hOspitable. When
we wanted to leave they re-
fused to let us go. They said
we, their friends, were free to
leave, but we couldn't have the
eight boys We needed to carry
our luggage. You see, we had
given them meat, and meat
means more than money in the
Jungle"
The Bradleys (Mrs. Bradley's
husband is Herbert Bradley, of
Chicago) talked the situation
over, trying not to let their hosts
gather from their tone of voice
what they were discussing.
Chief Sees 'Magic"
Mrs. Bradley says:

dered a complete probe at the

Mr.. Dawson charged that an
