company whose sole duty is the
transportation of the public. Picnic
managers are cautioned not to over
load their vehicles. This commonly
occurs only in motor truck NOV e.
ments or private automobiles, and
iu some instances has caused very
distressing accidents in various
parts of the country. Fortunately
our Delaware statistics are clear
from mishaps due to over loading
A little common sense in the load
ing of vehicles supplies the only
remedy that is needed. Over loading
of vehicles often cause top heavi-
ness, invites panic, endangers driv-
er morale, and occasionally leads to
loss of control of the vehicle. par
ticularly on dangerous grades.
Sufficient time must be allowed
to make the trip safe both ways.
Never request or permit your driver
TO make up lost time by reckless
speeding. Another important factor
not to be overlooked is crOwding the
driver To crowd the drivers seat is
to court disaster. Give him ade-
quate space in which to work and
the opportunity to keep his mind on
the business in hand. In motor
truck movements particularly the
picnic supervisor should insist upon
maintenance of safe spacing dis
lance between vehicles as a protec-
tion against rear end collisions.
This danger is, of course, greater
in the open country where speed is
higher. In a closely spaced line
movement at a good speed in an
emergency stop or slow down may
easily produce series of collisions.
Railroad crossings are always a
point of extreme danger. Where no
crossing Waterman is on duty pro-
coed with exceptional caution, be
sure you are safe and then 90 ahead.
Look both ways always. A passing
train or standing cars may hide
from view another train rushing to-
wards the crossing from the oppo-
site direction. Drivers of motor
trucks carrying passengers must
stop, look and listen before enter
ing upon the crossing. There is no
arguing the right of way with To-

The sporting spirit to be first on the

Solution of the vexing problem

School officials, members of the

Meeting last night, the Colum-

to on-sale establishments near

The girls face got whittier
and whittier. Her eyes grew
enormously big and black.
Presently her dress, held at the
shoulder with thin straps,
slipped down. She made vague,
fumbling attempts to shove it
back. Her escort-the divorced
husband Of some writer
stopped, and, where the dress
had slipped, kissed her.
Pippin turned hot with shame
at the memory. She was not
accepting Edwards judgment.
But, after all. why DOES a
girl wear sexy clothes unless
she means them?
She thought fiercely: "I'm
glad Bill didn't see me in that

When she went out with him
she wore a white girlish thing,
very high, and with little puff
sleeves. Helena had selected
it.

Pippin wore it twice, then
protested:
"It's too young. It reminds
me of that silly picture, Stand

Now she touched the demure

self with wistful uncertainty:
"Am I all right, wonder?"
Bill regarded her with some
thing like awe. AS they danced
he whispered:
you're lovely in white-un-

"Oh, Bill, do you mean it?

GAMBLING BILL
HEARING SET

Leslie c. Garnett, q. S. Dis
trict Attorney for the District of
Columbia, will be called before the
Senate District Committee tomor-
row to discuss the bill he has rec
commended for curbing gambling
in the city, it was announced to-
day by Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, chairman of the
committee.
The Senator said he believes
the measure should be enacted
promptly to aid local authorities
in coping with gambling activities.
He said Mr.. Garnett informed
him that under existing law it is
difficult to get convictions, be-
cause Of the unwillingness of
witnesses to testify against those
accused of operating gambling
establishments and because of the
type of evidence which it is
necessary to produce under exist
ing law to prove a gambling
charge.
Mr.. Garnett's proposal is that
gambling equipment be made
pr1ma facie evidence.

VICTIM OUT S32
IN CHECK DEAL

One Of those involved furniture
deals, spread out over several
days, has reached a conclusion
and Jacob Salus. furniture dealer
in the 1900 block Seventh st. N.
w., is out $32.
It all came about when Mrs.
Dorothy Altman. 1400 block Co
lumbia Rd. N. W., advertised she
had some furniture for sale. Soon
there appeared a nice looking gen.
tleman, interested in furniture
and we'll informed about it.
Followed much dickering and
discussion of prices. Yesterday
: the man appeared at Mrs. ALI
mans with Mr.. Salus. The two
men conversed in the hallway.
Mr.. Salus was led to believe the
furniture belonged to the man
who had taken him to the house.
He told the man he would give
him $32 for the furniture.
The man took Mr.. Salus' check
and went to Mrs. Altman with
another check his own for
$3.50 to pay her for the furni.
ture. She refused to accept it
and the man left to get it cashed.
He took Mr.. Salus' check and
it's too late now to stop payment
on it.

2 Amendments Asked
In D. C. Liquor Bill

Two bills amending the District
liquor law were introduced in the
House today. One, offered by
Representative Carl M. Weide-
man CD of Michigan, would
grant the right of selling liquors
under off-sale licenses to proprie-
tors of stores in non-conforming
sections of the District.
The other, introduced by Rep
resentative Everett M. Dirksen
(RO of Illinois, would permit
druggists to fill prescriptions with
blended liquor. Both measures
were referred to the House Dis
trict Committee by Speaker Henry
T. Rainey.

CHANGE
To Be SOUGHT
BY ALLEN
Commissioner Would Central
ize Power in Hands of Direc-
tor; Congress Must Act

Congressional action probably
will be sought by District Commis-
sioner George E. Allen in his pro-
posed reorganization of the local
relief set-up, it was learned today.
Commissioner Allen is working
out a tentative plan which would
provide for greater Capitalization
of power in relief administration
and relegate the Board of Public
Welfare to an advisory capacity.
Under present arrangements,
the Board of Public Welfare is in
complete charge of relief work,
having full administrative powers,
and it's mandates are carried out
by the Director of Public Welfare.
Would Set Director Rule
Commissioner Aliens plan
would centralize this power in the
hands of the Director of Public
Welfare, who would work directly
under the District Commissioners.
The board would be retained, but
would act as an advisory unit
only.
Points advanced by those ia
voring this plan include the fact
that the board is made up of pri-
vate citizens who are unable to
devote full time to the welfare
work. Relief problems in recent
years have attained such proper
tlonS as to necessitate full time
attention, it is pointed out.
Another argument in favor Of
the change is that the proposed
Capitalization would make for
Speedier action in emergencies
and would vest responsibility for
relief and welfare matters in one
full-time worker instead of in a
board of private citizens.
Present Method Outlined
The present method of relief
administration is outlined in an
act of Congress. Hence, to in
stitute the plan advocated by
Commissioner Allen, new law
would have to be enacted.
In discussing his plans, Mr..
Allen emphasized that he has
no criticism of relief officials, but
that he merely is dissatisfied with
the present operation of relief
work. He believes that the pro-
posed plan would remove bar
riers to speedy and efficient op-
GRAFTON.
To date no name has been ad-
vanced for the position of Director
of Public Welfare, which will be-
come vacant March 20 upon re-
tirement of the present director,
George S. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson,
who will be IS years old March
10, has applied for retirement be-
cause of physical disability.
