DRIVE FOR BRIDGE
TO Be REOPENED
BrookIand Head Says Need
of Children Should Be
Filled at Once.

With the drive against crime here
in mind, Marvin NJ Mclean, presi-
dent of the Brookland Citizens ASso-
citation, has reopened the fight for
construction of bridge to save chill
dren the danger of crossing railroad
tracks rather than one which gives
gambling establishment.
At a recent meeting of his asso-
citation, Mr.. Mclean announced his
intention of again carrying the mat
ter before District authorities. A. E.
F. Scheer, president of the Dahlgren
Terrace Citizens Association and the
Joint Conference of Northeast Citi-
ZenS' Associations, announced he
would bring the subject before the
conference meeting tomorrow night so
that members might take the fight
back to their respective associations.
For five years We have been seek
ing bridge over the railroad tracks
at Franklin street between Seventh
and Ninth streets northeast" Mr.. Nc
Lean declared. This would save
children attending the Crosby Noyes
School at Tenth and Franklin streets
northeast the danger of crossing six
pairs of B. & o. Railroad tracks"
At present the children must walk
more than 2 miles to school, if not
wanting to risk crossing the tracks.
There are no transportation facilities
for this trip, as it is very winding.
Instead of having $130,00O left over
after completion of a bridge in north
west Washington used towards erec-
ton of bridge on Eastern avenue
between Bladensburg road and Rhode
Island avenue northeast, Mr.. Mclean
advocates spending this money for the
bridge which would be used by the
children. Estimated cost of the erec-
tion would be about $l46, 900, accord
ing to a statement of the Engineer
Commissioner two years ago, Mr.. Nc
Lean declared.
The bridge would have but little
use except to make easier access to
the gambling establishment" he de-
clared.
The matter was to be taken before
District authorities the first of the
week, as announcement for the letting
of bids has already been made.

The Better Business Bureau is not

clared in radio address last week.
Speculations are entirely legitimate.
he declared, but the public has a
right to know all the facts and Just
what are the chances of profit. Re-
ports to the bureau show that some

War Against Crime
Having Wholesome Effect.

THERE is feeling throughout
organized civic Washington
that, while there have de-
veloped wide differences of opinion
as to method. the mere pausing
to consider the question of law en-
forcement and crime reduction has
had most wholesome effect. Right
at a time when the tendency was
to consider crime and lawlessness
as mere matter of course it has
been well to introduce a discussion
which is producing a different
state Of mind.
Those who have been pushing
this movement against crime
recognize that an aroused public
sentiment will be the greatest
stimulus to increased activity
among officials charged with the
responsibility of enforcing the law.
Such an aroused public opinion
against crime. they hold. is also
sure to be reflected in the attitude
OF citizens serving on our juries.
They further believe that this
broad discussion Of ways and
means of reducing crime and up
holding the majesty of the law
will produce some self f-examina-
tion and cause some good citizens
to be better citizens by stopping
the committing of numerous petty
offenses. II these enforcement
officials and members of vigilance
committees will just remove the
mote from their own eye they may
better be able to see the beam in
the eye Of some of the big Of
tenders.

All Publicity Facilities to Be
Used to Promote Speedy
Mailing.

mas shopping and mailing. The drive
will be formally launched tomorrow.
Uncle Sam says, Buy Now-Mail
Early" this years slogan, will be
displayed prominently, and all other
existing publicity mediums will be
utilized, according to the committee
| of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, which is sponsoring the
annual movement. Sylvan King is
chairman.
All stores have been asked to in
, augurate their Christmas window dis
! plays concurrently with the beginning
Of the campaign. In order to further
the Yuletide atmosphere. exteriors of
stores will be decorated with laurel
and colored electric lights.
Posters have been prepared for dis
play on street cars and busses and
! also on trucks of the Post Once and
Railway Express Agency.
Postmaster William NJ Mooney will
send out 5000 letters explaining the
advantages of early shopping, which
will be read to school children by their
teachers.

Convention Programs Change.
More and more emphasis is being
| laid on business and less on diversion
in mapping out programs for conven-
tions, according to Curtis Hodges,
executive director Of the Greater Ma
| tional Capital Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, who re-
| Gently returned from a meeting of
/ the Board of Directors of the Interna-
| tional Association of Convention Bu-
reaus in Detroit. Mich.
| Aiming to make the next session of
| the convention association q model
| for other conventions, much time will
be devoted to business and little to
pleasure
Conventions are fast being ac-
| cepted as an outstanding method of
furthering all types Of vocations and
professions" declared Hodges.
He said the consensus at the Detroit
meeting indicated that in practically
every large city Of the country the
convention business has become ma
jor factor in the city's progress. More
time is being spent in servicing meet
ings of all kinds in order to stimulate
business in general, he asserted.
The Association of Convention Bu-
reaus urged larger registration fees for
| conventions in order to care for all
| expenses rather than resort to assess
ments on the cities where the meet
| ings are held.
There are AZ bureaus In the asso-
citation. which is headed by A. H.

Tuesday at headquarters.
Maj. Gen. Russell will shortly an
nounce the names of those higher
officers of the staff and line who will
be assigned to the new staff and line
selection boards, respectively. Due to
the detachment of several high OH
GERS Of the line during the past wear
to distant points Of duty. the compo-
sltion OF the new selection boards will
comprise more than so per cent of
new members. The deliberations of
these boards will have far-reaching
influence on the promotion list of the
corps in that in the year 1896. when
several Of these boards will have
passed over the names of hundreds of
officers of the corps in not naming
them as eligible for promotion, auto
matte severance from the active list
will be the result. with future re-
muneration on the retired list to be
computed on the new basis of pay for
retirement.
Several voluntary retirements in the
grade OF senior lieutenant colonels of
the line Of the corps will be in effect
during the early part of the year. 1t
is stated that the authorities of the
corps expect large number of volun-
tary requests for retirement from
those officers who, having been passed
over by the selection board, have rea-
son to believe that continuance on
the active list with no promotion will
be impracticable. In fact, it is stated
that corps headquarters will have en-
couraged all such requests for retire
ment.
