Cleanup Week May ! TO IL
Begins Tomorrow.

TT ALL of the civic bodies that
i have indorsed the Districts
Cleanup week really get on
the job tomorrow this will be a
much more attractive place in
which to live by next Saturday
night. This campaign, sponsored
by the Chamber of Commerce.
supported by the Federation Of
Citizens Associations and its more
than half-a-hund-ed member or
CARNATIONS, and having the un-
qualified approval Of the Commits
sioners and the various depart
ments Of the District government.
is a very necessary annual COM
munity event.
The neiehborhood citizens asso-
Citations are planning to look after
the cleaning up operations in their
own sections and in some quarters
it is expected that community ef-
forts will result in cleaning back
alleys and vacant lots upon which
the thoughtless ones have been
dumping their trash. The man
ayers of this campaign will not be
satisfied unless there Is a general
response by the citizens in all Sec
tions. They hold to the very
logical idea that if this is to be a
city beautiful it should be a spot
less town." The Capital cannot
in any way measure up to these
requirements if the Uttered vacant
lots fail to receive needed atten.
tion. Neighborhood team work is
being depended upon to remove
these blots which not only offend
the eye and spoil the appearance
of a neighborhood but harbor rats
and supply a breeding place for
mosquitoes.

Big Cleanup of City Seen in Plans of Associations.
Trade Board Throws Support Behind
Better Homes Contest.

QUESTIONABLE to candidates, DO
you favor Federal suffrage for the
District of Columbian" Many
favorable replies and a few un-
favorable ones have resulted. As
far as known no other organiza-
tions have inaugurated such a sys-
! tenn IN behalf of this cause which
is the most civicly indorsed propo-
sition affecting the District.
Senate Committee Hearings on
d. C.sAppropriation Bill.
THE hearing before the Senate
Appropriation Subcommittee
on the District appropri-
alton bill continued through the
week. District officials and repre-
sentatives of organized civic WASH
ington have been accorded courte-
GUS and patient hearing. Every
one IS hopeful the committee will
grant much of the relief denied by
the bill as 1t passed the House.
Many interesting facts have been
developed in the testimony before
the committee, but 1t is feared
this this being so near the end Of
the session. not enough time re-
mains to push through some re-
forms in fiscal policy which are
both needed and deserved by the
District.
Representatives of the Fedora.
ton Of Citizens Associations, Pub
lie School Association and other.
bodies appeared before the COM
mittee and made strong pleas for
increased appropriations for new
school buildings and increased
school facilities. Others urged in
creases for the war against tuber-
culosis. bridges and other items.
All were agreed in urging the
increase of the Federal contribu-
ton from the illogical amount car
ried in the bill as it came from
the House. The District assessor
testified that the tax on the United
States realty holdings in the Dis
trict at the present rate of $l.50
would be s7.500,000. He further
stated that the increase of Federal
holdings during the last 10 years
had removed from taxation prop
erty valued at $32.000,000. This
latter figure represents an annual
loss to the District in taxes at the
present rate of $4,000.
The most novel feature Of the
committee hearing was the appear
ance before it, on the committees
invitation, of Budget Director
Douglas. As he appeared at an
executive session. the public and
civic bodies have not yet learned
the purport of his testimony.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.

TIME Washington Board Of
Trade has held its annual
meeting, elected the board
of directors and they In
turn have elected the corps
Of officers. The new president,
Robert v. Fleming. president Of
Riggs National Bank, Is a seasoned
civic worker, well qualified to carry
forward the work for the District
which the Board of Trade has been
doing so we'll for many years.
The several committees Of the
board charged with looking after
pending legislation are keeping
close to the Job during these clos
ing days of the Seventy-third Con-
gress. The Law Committee under
the subchairmanship of Paul E.
Lesh is making a study of the pro-
posed law for excess and incidental
condemnation which was drafted
jointly by DR.. Llewellyn Jordan of
the board and Thomas S Settle,
secretary of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The Board of Trade has sched-
uled as its next big event its an
nual shad bake which will be held
at Bay Ridge, Md, on Saturday,
May 10. The annual shad bake is
one of the boards fondest tradi-
tions. In the early days Marshall
Hall was the scene of these gath
erings and the transportation was
by the old steamer w. w. Corcoran
and later by the steamer Macal-
ester. During recent years the
shad bakes have been trans.
ferred to several Chesapeake Bay
resorts.
The shad bake has always proven
of great civic value in affording an
opportunity for the citizens, civic
leaders, public officials and men,
bers of Congress to get better
acquainted in most informal
atmosphere. While there are al
ways numerous diversions there is
always ample opportunity for hob
nobbing and discussing the many
problems of the District.

Parks Group Active.

One of the more active commit
tees in the Washington Chamber of
Commerce at this time is its Parks
and Recreational Committee, headed
by Thomas S. Settle. This group has
been particularly interested in a sur
vey of the recreational facilities of
the District, and has appeared before
representatives of the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
during the last week to cooperate
in study being launched by that
Federal agency.
At a special gathering Thursday
afternoon, the survey plan was out
lined before representatives of the
chamber and several other agencies,
including the Community Chest, Dis
trict Schools Department. Playground
Department and American Civic As
ISOLATION
The chamber group has been urg-
ing this survey for some time.
Other matters commanding its at
tention include improvement Of the
Washington Channel, passage of an
excess condemnation bill and estab-
lishment of an outdoor stadium on
East Capitol street.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Migraine

More than year ago In one Of your
articles you suggested calcium lactate
for persons subject to migraine. My
husband suffered for years from this
affliction and we are both happy to
report that after taking the calcium
lactate tablets for six months his
headaches ceased entirely. MRS. L.
b. NJ
Answer-Periodic sick headache,
usually one-sided and ushered in by
an aura or warning, such as q peculiar
zigzag spectrum, Is called migraine
or megrim. Many scores Of readers
have reported appartnt cure or great
benefit from calcium lactate. Any
way it does no harm. I don't know
whether 1t is really responsible for
the cures ascribed to it. Glad to send
any reader who asks for 1t and In
closes stamped addressed envelope, In
struction for using calcium lactate
for migraine.
Yeast
Does mixing yeast with anything to
mitigate its taste diminish its effec-
tiveness in any way? Must one take
1t always or just until ones system
Is cleared? I'm not In q financial
position to consult a specialist. IF. s.
Answer-What do you mean clear
ones system? Yeast may be taken In
any kind Of beverage you like, with
out impairing Its food or medicinal
effects.

Doubtless there will be q long legal
battle to determine the official status
Of william LANCER.
Unfortunately the legal bubbles
and technicalities are many. Appeals
and other legaltstic manipulation may
keep this man In the public eye for
months to come. His status prob
ably will be passed upon by q state
supreme court at which his political
machine is striking and striking hard
Never has such a situation confronted
our highest tribunal before.
Involved in the outcome Is the
honor Of the state.
Judge Miller is to be congratulated
by every honest citizen. When once
courts are swayed by political con-
then our defenses against
graft, corruption and sinister political
intrigue are swept away. We APP
proach anarchy and chaos.
It is possible for u tried and true
men to be right and 100000 voters to
be wrong. Courts should not be I'M
pressed by majorities or pluralities
Induced by crooked politics. Judge
Miller stood adamant against the
ballyhoo Of politics and the ugly,
menacing and mendacious tactics of
whose pockets are lined
with the gold intended for the sup
BORT Of widows and orphans, and Of
politicians who have lined their purses
1t the expense of the poor people !
they have mouthed about on the
1uStingS.
There seems to be a God in Israel. !
There seems to be still some back
zone in high places.
More power to such judges as An
rev Miller Of Fargo, whom thou
sand know and honor here in Bis
narck where he first played q large
md important role in state affairs.
The sentences are clarion calls to
iuty for every honest citizen Of North
Dakota who Is unafraid and fearless
,efore the storm and fury Of the
LANCER style Of corruption. intimida-
ion and reprisal.

Seasonal Warning

During the last two years rural
Burleigh county has seen two fatal
drownings. Bismarck has had one.
It IS significant, however, that
nothing approaching a fatality has
occurred at the municipal swimming
pool. where as many people go SWIM
ming some weeks as swim elsewhere
In the county throughout an entire
season.
The reason is obvious. The SWIM
ming pool Is designed for safe en-
joyment Of this healthful recreation.
Persons swimming there are under
the constant care Of skilled swimmers
who can, in an emergency, pull them
to safety. There are no currents In
the pool and no "step-offs' to trap
the unwary.
All Of which is merely by way Of
warning that the Fourth Of July Is
close at hand and many people will
go picnicking. The temptation to
swim an untried stream probably will
arise and in such circumstances death
can easily become an unwelcome
guest to ruin the celebration.
Swimming is one Of the most po-
tent causes of summer holiday acct
dents, for the death rate from un-
toward causes goes upward with the
mercury.
Bismarck, and particularly the
children of the city, owes the Elks
lodge an undying debt of gratitude
for its public-spirited enterprise in
constructing the swimming pool. It's
citizens owe it to themselves to make
use Of 1t rather than risk themselves
in untried and treacherous streams.
