Federation Recommends
"Hands Off" Policy For
Bureau of Budget
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

In adopting a report from its
committee on fiscal relations, the
Federation of Citizens Associations
at it's meeting Saturday night
voted the Bureau of the Budget
should be divorced from any rec
ommendation regarding eXpendi'
lures of local tax revenues. and
should concern itself only with the
amount to be contributed by the
Federal Government to the Dis
trict.
District items should be for
warded to Joint Committee Of
House and Senate, which would
hold public hearings and make
recommendation to the Appropria.
tions Committee, the association
decided.
Membership Refused
An application for membership
in the Federation by the District
Pharmaceutical Association, or
ganized SO years ago, and the re.
Gently formed Pharmacists Society
of the District of Columbia, whose
membership is made up of drug
clerks, caused much debate. 1t was
finally decided that neither or
ganization met the requirements
of membership in the Federation,
and both were refused admission.
Endorsement was given to a re-
port from the Law and Legislation
Committee on the Patman bill now
before Congress, providing for a
Federal moving picture censure.
Many objectional plays with.
drawn from the legitimate stage
were reproduced in pictures, it
was claimed. The resolution also
provides that all pictures should
be properly labeled in order that
the public may know the type
of play being shown.
The Federation refused to give
Endorsement to requests from mem.
Der organizations to erect two
new bridges, one to replace the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
crossing the Eastern Branch, and
one to supersede the present
Chain Bridge. Henry I. Quinn,
a member of the Board of Educa-
ton, reminded the delegates it
was more important to secure
funds for additional school build
ings to take care of increase en-.
rollment.

GUNS
TAKEN IN RAID

Led by Detective Sergt. Howard
Ogle, the police raiding squad
swooped down on house in the
first block F. Street Southwest yes
terday, seized an assortment Of
deadly weapons and arrested &c
persons.
Scattered throughout the rooms
police found the weapons as they
battered their way into the house.
Included in the arsenal besides
modern revolvers was a 100-year-
old pistol with four barrels, a set
of brass knuckles with dagger
attached, an old flintlock revolver,
StilettoS and blackjacks.

William Brill, %, and Phyllis Y.

wing spread of any butterfly OF
moth, measures eight and one
quarter inches from one wing-tip
to another.
A second specimen, one of the
smallest of the lepidoptera,
which is the division of insects
encompasSing butterflies and
moths, is a little under one
quarter of an inch wide.
The disparity between tn e
sizes of these two flying beauties
would form a ratio of about 80
to one. :
Both are moths. The larger is
scientifically known as Coscino-
cera hercules, and is found only
in the province of Queensland,
Australia. It is a member of the
"attacine" group of moths, which
! includes the commonest of the
bigger and more snowy moths
found around Washington, the
"Cecropia" moth.
The smaller insect is called
Nepticula Anomalella. It is a
denizen of Europe, and is ex-
ceeded in smallness by one or
two other moths, natives of
Africa.
An idea of the size of Nepti-
cula Anomalella may be gained
from the fact that it is not much
smaller than that well-known in
sect, the "clothes-moth." whose
larvae, or "grubs," play such
havoc with woolen garments.
But not all moths are tiny, as
is proven by the giant Coscino-
cera hercules. Imagine what
would happen to your suits and
dresses if the "clothes-moth"
were that large.

Is This Too Good

Creomulsion may be better help

major helps in one-the best helps
known to science. 1t is made for

Mild coughs often yield to lesser
helps. No one can tell. No one knows
which factor will do most for any
certain cough. So careful people,
more and more, are using Creomul.
sion for any cough that starts.
The cost is a little more than a
single help. But your druggist
guarantees it. so it costs nothing II
it fails to bring you quick relief.
Coughs are danger signals. For

Glimpses Of Stage Folk
in Washington.

WHEN Tony Pastors stage hands
held their annual ball in 1908
Maude Kramer was a fiedgling hoofer
with ambition and some self-confi-
dence. Therefore she entered the
famous Richard X. Fox Trophy con-
test. wherein judges scored on time,
style and execution. and all vaude-
ville's best tried a hand. Each COM
petiter was given q number. The
judges of time and execution went
down below the huge stage in Tam
many Hall and listened. Then every
body danced to the same tune, "Tur-
key In the Straw" and the hidden
arbiters cooked ears and scored. They
marked down each missed or faulty
beat, every step out Of pattern.
Out front sat the style judge, the
mustachioed scenery singers and their
buxom bellies. Applause had nothing
to do with the contest, except possibly
as q consolation to the losers. Among
whom Maude Kramer had no place in
that trial more than half q century
past.
She won, was proclaimed the best
female hoofer IN all the land, and

Deplores Exhibition
OF the Ouintuplets
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor OF The Star:
I am greatly concerned about those
five little girl babies recently born in
Canada to Mr. and Mrs. Dionne, whom
greedy promoters would take from
their quiet country home almost as
soon as they draw their first breaths
and transported to the seething Vi
brations of a great city.
The press reports that the father
has signed an agreement to take these
tiny infants and their mother to the
Chicago Fair. Is cupidity making
capital out of necessity? Even with
the best doctors and nurses obtainable,
under the most favorable conditions,
infant life f1ickers out. Why do these
parents take any added risk? The
state also has stake in these chill
dren.
It seems improbable that the mother
of these babies would willingly risk
even one precious little life. Babies
are mothers works Of art, and mothers
alone know the full cost of production.
Can it be that baby girls are so lightly
valued by the father, that, tempted by
gain, he persuaded the mother against
her will, or decided to do this thing
without her consent? Such one-sided
decisions are not unusual in countries
where the father has the sole right to
control or dispose of his children. This
land of the free has not yet wholly
purged<her statutes Of such injustices.

tensive as Japan itself. The Dutch
domain embraces roundly 100000
square miles and population OF

1t was on account of the Netherlands
status as a Pacific power that she was
invited to participate in the Wash

to become a signatory of the nine
power pact. While the Dutch East
Indies are vastly important CONNER
cially and territorially, they are, Of
course, no match in a military and
naval sense for Japan, and the
Netherlands nervousness over Japa-
nese aspirations in the Far East
springs from the fear that the East
Indies may some day come within the
scope of Nippon's imperialist longings.
AS to the specific issues at stake,
these concern the same textile exports
which led to the Anglo-Japanese
trade conflict. Her once flourishing
market in China wrecked by bcycotts
and her business in India restricted by
agreement, Japan now finds in the
Dutch East Indies the nearest and
largest outlet for the products of her
principal industry, cotton goods. Last
year she sold more textiles in the
Dutch islands than the Netherlands
itself did. and the home government
is now subjecting japanese imports to
quota limits. 1t is also planned to
exclude Japanese merchants by a

Outside Of civilization no man wor-
