that no such funds be impounded

Charles F. Amidon, which held
that compensation of retired

been almost cleared out yesterday,

Down town hotels said that

clubs were packed and the whole
city assumed festive air.
Sale of liquor started slowly,
but the lunch hour saw a brisk
demand. Then came the cocktail
hour and the rush was on.
Some Brands Sold Out
When Government offices and
stores closed there was a mad
scramble to get liquor. Crowds
thronged the stores, fighting their
way to the counters, and by clos
ing time many of the popular and
inexpensive brands were COM
pletely sold out.
There will be no liquor Short
age here, however. The whole.
Salers have ample stocks on hand
and more is arriving each day.
After closing hours last night
the wholesalers started making
deliveries, and the shelves were
stocked when the stores reopened
this morning.
Hotels and Clubs Crowded
Last night it was practically
impossible to get a table at any
hotel or night club. Reservations
had been made days in advance,
and all reported one of the heav-
lest days business in manv years.
Police issued a warning today
to liquor dealers to look out for
counterfeiters following discovery
of a counterfeit SIS bill sent to a
bank by one liquor store as part
of the days receipts.
The bill was an excellent re.
production of a Federal Reserve
note, 1t was said.
Prices Are Reasonable
Prices here were much cheaper
than those in the Maryland dis.

in business was reported at the
Montgomery nd Prince Georges
places which have been catering
to thirsty District residents since
last December. 1t was reported
that the Montgomery county dis
pensary system is preparing a
new price list with much lower
prices.
Repeal has brought with it q
new problem for District police
men. Regulations forbid them
from entering a place where liquor
is sold, unless in line Of duty.
The policemen point out, how
ever, that practically every restau"
rant in the city is selling liquor,

FLOOD MENACE
SEEN AS RIVER
ICE PILES Up
Engineers Fear Chain Bridge
Is In Peril; Mercury Rises,
Rain Forecast

With warm weather setting in
and rain in the offing, fear was
expressed today that a flood may
result, due to the heavy ice pack
in the Potomac.
After rising to a high of 38 de-
grees yesterday after the sub-zero
cold spell, the mercury dropped
to low Of 80 degrees during the
night and was rising again today.
Bridge in Peril
With an ice pack as thick as
80 inches in places and the river
swollen by melting surface snow,
it was feared that a jam might
weaken Chain Bridge and carry
away the conduit which supplies
Arlington County with water from
the Dalecarlia Reservoir.
County engineers will confer
with reservoir officials today to
draft plans to meet this danger.
Ice floes packing at the bridge
heads would result in water back
ing up and causing flood condi-
tionS, rivermen said.
Streets, Cutters Cleared
The thaw has been Of great aid
to the District, however, in melt
ing the snow and ice which re-
suited from last Sundays blizzard
The District had 1000 men at
work yesterday in the residential
sections, clearing streets and gut
ters. The downtown area was
cleared by the CWA workers

House District Committee, Ed
ward D. Merrill, president, de-
clared that in 1892 taxes paid by

proximately $6,5O0; that any in

FUND SOUGHT

New financial set-ups which will

effectively with the problem of
snow removal will be sought by

day at the regular meeting of the
Board of District Commissioners.
At present, when street clean
ing funds are depleted, money for
snow removal has to be trans
ferred from some other appro-
priation. This process is so
lengthy that officials frequently
are afraid to act for fear that the
transfer will not be completed
before the end of the fiscal year.
The new plan will provide for
direct use of funds of the sewer.

BY GILBERT SELDES
Note on a Doctors Bill

'- N0Ce on b DOcLOr Dill
My doctor told me that some
years ago he was one Of four
physicians, in general practice,
In an apartment house. Not
one Of them had a patient in
that building, nor in that block:
They lived in far separated
parts Of the city and one OF
the doctors had a patient who
: lived within a few blocks OF
one of the other doctors. Talk
about the country doctor and
his buggy" said my friend. l
drive thirty or forty miles a
day, making my calls"
He is connected with a IA
nous hospital and knows some-
thing about institutional medl-
cine. He "supposes," without
prejudice for or against, that
the business of keeping people
well will presently come under
some sort of control. He thinks
the present system is wasteful:
too expensive to some people,
too cheap to others. He thinks
that a doctors work, in the fu-
ture, will be more localized; but
he doesn't say how I will be
able to escape from the doctor
in NV ward and go to the doc
tor I like.
One reason for the troubles
Of doctors now, ne says, is
that the business of preserv-
ing health is in the hands OF
= lot of people who are enc
mics: the makers of patent
medicines fight the doctors;
the druggist, when he ism
busy fighting the liquor store,
struggles against the makers
Of patent medicines.
-.~ I asked my druggist, the
other day, for a bottle of old
!. fashioned Browns Mixture. He
beamed and said, why, I'm
doing pharmacy again - the
first time in months"
Note on a Telephone Bill
A stop-watch was lying on
my desk when the phone rang
and having nothing else to do,
I clicked it on. A man had
asked me to do a job for him;
I couldn't do it and he was
calling me to say that he
didn't want me to do it, after
all. The conversation lasted
three minutes. I suppose if it
had lasted another 10 seconds a
further charge for the call
would have been recorded.
Nothing of Importance was
said on either side.
Not on a Score Pad
During the recent rioting in
Paris, the American Women's
Club there advised all it's
members to keep off the
streets, in order to avoid
. trouble and, at the same time.
inaugurated an all-day bridge
tournament to keep the mem
bers occupied. This suggests
something new in the tech
nique of counter revolution. If
rioting starts in the summer,
you counter with a bathing
beauty parade; in winter, with
good movies. If you can only
keep the right people gathered
behind closed 1oors, every
thing will be all right. That's
something Trotsky didn't know.
