Jenckes CD of Indiana, today

In a letter to Representative

Mrs. Jenckes said she personally
inspected the armory and made
inquiries as to the reason for the
order.
The only reason she could find
was that the armory was wanted
as a storehouse for the police de-
partment.
On grounds the Marine Reserve

BENN|NG DUMP
MUST STAY

City refuse will have to be
burned at the Benning dump ss
long as Congress continues to
oppose operation of the southeast
incinerator, Major John c. Got
walls, District Engineer Commits
sioner, today informed Represen-
tative Mary T. Norton (DD Of
New Jersey and chairman of the
House District Committee.
Major Gotwals wrote Mrs. Nor
ton in reply to a communication
from her enclosing a petition
from the Benning Citizens Asso-
citation protesting against opera
ton of the dump. If Congress
permitted, all the municipal col
lected refuse could be disposed Of
at the incinerator without increas-
ing the Districts budget, he said,
but Government and commercial
refuse will have to be continued
to be disposed of at Benning un-
less additional appropriations are
made.
The Commissioners, he added,
will be glad to arrange for per-
sonal visit by members of the
House District Committee to both
the Benning dump and the south
east incinerator, should they wish
to see the situation at first hand.

He said he had information that
lone men would be picked up by
police, questioned, and if they
had no local address would be
placed in concentration camps.
Herbert Benjamin, local Com
munist leader and organizer of
the council, presented a list of
demands for relief, similar to
those presented many times be-
fore. They included free meals
for school children, free clothing
and medical care for children,
jobs for all women, no evictions
and a Government building pro-
gram that will make more jobs.
Just before the convention
opened police removed a red ban
ner taken from the entrance to
the building.
Because of the convention, po-
lice leaves have been discontinued
o"er Sunday and Monday.
Police made elaborate plans to
watch the affair when it was
learned the first detachment OF
delegates which arrived in fleet
of motor busses last night created
a disturbance in Aberdeen, Md.
According to reports received
here, a number of the delegates
had been drinking, and after a
meal in an Aberdeen cafe started
an alteration about food prices,
ending in fight in which crock
cry and furniture were smashed.
The Crime Prevention detail,
headed by Lieut.. H. w. Lineburg,
and special squads from No. 2
Precinct, will be on duty during
the three days the convention is
in session. Six hundred addi-
tional delegates, most of them
from New York, are expected this
afternoon.
Six Complain of Swindle
Six delegates walked out last
night, complaining they had been
swindled. They said they are
members of the Farmer-Labor
party, from Coa!ville, Pa, and
had paid a convention agent
$3.50 each for hotel accommoda-
tions here. Arriving at the hotel
they were informed the hotel
knew nothing of the arrange
ment. Police found shelter for
them at the Central Union Mis-
sion.

Asserting that conditions are

administration, some 500 delegates

Tenth and U Streets Northwest,
today.
Assailing the Roosevelt admin

Despite all the promises, the

be considered by the House Mon
day according to Representative
Vincent L. Palmisano CD Of
Maryland, ranking majority
member of the House District
Committee.
The bill was expected to be
reported out late yesterday but
after a conference with Speaker
Henry T. Rainey, Palmisano
agreed to wait until Monday
lest the measure prove contro-
versial and hold up reading Of
the departmental appropriation
bill for amendments.
The delay is significant since
Representative Mary r. Norton

Income Taxes Cut
In LOUer Bracket

On recommendation of the
Treasury Department, members
of the House Ways and Means
Committee have scaled down in
come taxes on annual receipts
of between $4,000 and $4,000.
The move was interpreted as
a victory for Republican mi

tee, who have opposed the rates
in that bracket on the ground
they exceeded rates on even
higher incomes.

ON 24-HOUR
SCHEDULE
Bureau Puts on Extra Force to
Get Supply Out by Saturday
So as to Meet Demands

Presses Of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing are pouring
out ten million liquor stamps q
day in preparation for next Sat-
urday when use of the new tax.
paid stamps for rectified spirits
will be initiated.
To cope with the emergency
an extra shift of workers has
been added to feed the presses
now running "a hours a day in
Guiding Sundays, and the usually
quiet building on Fourteenth
Street Southwest has become a
beehive of activity.
Had No Demand
While the supply of stamps
for bonded liquors was plentiful
when repeal Of prohibition be-
came effective, no stamps TO,
blended liquors were on HAND
since there never had been a
demand for them. The new
stamps for rectified distilled
spirits are red in cof:r on white
paper. They differ in design
also from revenue liquor stamps
on bonded liquors.
AS rapidly as they are printed
the new stamps are sent out in
sheets to collectors of internal
revenue throughout the country.
After next Saturday it will be
unlawful to sell blended liquors
without the stamps. Stripped
stamps over the necks of bottles
containing blended liquor are
now noticeably lacking.
30 Cents a Gallon
This does not mean that the
Government has not been obtain,
ing revenue from this type of
liquor. The tax is paid at the
distilleries at the rate of 80 cents
a gallon.
In the cases where bottles Of
blended liquors have been sent
out before use of the new stamps
was possible they will be at
tached next Saturday by those
dispensing them, whether in
hotels, drugstores or restaurants.
The extra men put to work by
the emergency in the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing were
former employees out on furlough.
w. A. Hall, director of the bu-
reau, said today he did not know
exactly how long the emergency
rush for the new stamps would
last.

been 50 good after all because, for
the average individual. there were
not 50 many OF them.
In Boston. 100 years ago, the aver
age life span was only two-thirds OF
what 1t Is In the same city now. The
death rate was about so per cent
higher.
Another curious thing disclosed by
this study Is the fact that the aoci-
dental death rate is only little high
er In Boston now than 1t was then,
and this despite increasing conges-
ton, the widespread use OF the auto
mobile and other hazards attendant
upon the machine age.
In those days deaths by drowning
exceeded the rate Of deaths by auto
mobile accidents now being recorded,
whereas deaths by drownings now
have practically disappeared.
In 1880 less than is per cent OF
Boston's population was over 40 years
Of age. The present figure Is 80 per
cent.
The result is to sharply challenge
that good old days" theory. Even II
they were better than the present the
people did not live so long to enjoy
them.

Beware of Prairie Fires


Residents of the northeastern Sec
ton OF the county reported the other
day prairie fire near Regan which
burned over several sections and re-
quired considerable work to stop.
This incident brings home to us
the possibility Of further fires cf this
kind, some of which may not be so
easily stopped.
The breaking up Of the prairie In
recent years has reduced what once
was major peril OF the plains coun-
try. There no longer is the wide
sweep Of untitled land which per-
mitted roaring inferno to rush down
upon the homes of luckless settlers.
The need for firebreaks is not what
1t once was.
Yet it is only few years ago that
we had several deaths from prairie
fires and the situation now would be
critical were it not for the fact that
there is very little dry vegetation left
in the country, most of it having
been eaten off by stock during the
winter.
But one never knows when q care
lessly tossed cigarette or match will
start conflagration which may have
serious results. People driving through
the country, as well as persons living
there, should bear this In mind and
conduct themselves accordingly un-
til the present situation improves.
