just happen to be interested
enough in humanity to realize

fact that, what seems silly to

There's nothing either good

truth applies about the degree
Of wisdom in the things that
trouble us.
And I have seen women In
dentists offices wait for some
time with their hats on, and
then keep the dentist waiting
while they carefully take off
their hats, adjust their hair,
powder their noses, and 50

wanted to avoid this delay and

would be grateful that she did.
And sir, are there no what
would you call "silly questions"

BISHOPS WILL

An attack on the validity of the
will of John William Hamilton,
former Methodist Bishop, which
disposed of an estate of approx
mately 100000, was filed today
in District Supreme Court by his
son, Gordon B. Hamilton, of San
Francisco, and daughter, Mrs.
Helene Hamilton Stafford, of Seat
tie.
The son and daughter, through
Attorneys Hugh M. Frampton and
William E. Richardson, were given
life estates in a large portion Of
the bishops property by the will.
However, in their caveat, the bis
hops children contend that ne did
not realize the depreciation in his
property, which, they claim, would
deprive them of the requests he
intended for them in the event
the other gifts outlined in the will
were approved.
The gifts included $250,000 to
establish a divinity school at

SURPLUS MILK
INSUFFICIENT
FOR RELIEF
Seal Told City Would Have to
Buy More to Supply All
Clients on Rolls
BY LOUIS E. WHITE

Whether or not the surplus
milk on the washington market
is sufficient to supply relief needs
was under consideration by local
authorities today.
Frank S. Walker, president of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Milk PRO-
ducers' Association, told Elwood
Seal, assistant corporation coun-
sci in charge of the plan to
provide cheap milk for relief
clients here, that surplus milk
in this area is never less than
5000 gallons, not more than Is
900 daily. and at present is rum
ming about 5000 or 5000 gallons
daily.
Mr.. Seal pointed out that there
are about 10000 persons reported
on the relief rolls, and that DR..
Frederic C. Howe, Consumers
Council for the AAA, has recon-
.mended that each be given pint
of milk per day. This would
necessitate the Districts pur-
chasing about 10000 gallons of
milk daily, Mr.. Seal said, of
which 1000 to 1000 gallons would
be basic milk costing materially
more than surplus.
Whether or not DR.. Howe's re-
commentator will be followed,
Mr.. Seal said, will depend upon
the outcome of discussions with
heads of the local relief organiza-
ton,

To SEEK
REFERENDUM
LAW IN D. {.
Bill Being Drafted in Effort to
Overcome Effect of Ban
on Takoma Vote

AS a result of Justice F. Dickin-
son Let's Injunction against the
Takoma Park liquor referendum,
the next Congress will be asked
to enact an advisory referendum
law, for all controversial questions
under the District government.
In other words, Congress will be
asked to legalize form of self
government in the National
Capital.
The bill will be pushed at the
District Building by Commissioner
George E. Allen, father of the
Takoma referendum idea, who
was out-rated by the other two
Commissioner this morning when
the board met to determine their
next step with respect to finding
out what public opinion might be
in Takoma Park regarding the
sale of liquor. Mr.. Allen favored
appealing Justice Let's 1n1unc-
ton.
Urges Referendum Law
Today Commissioner Allen had
nothing to say while he was in
the precincts of Commissioner
Hazen, who has been opposed to
the referendum idea, but back
in his own office, Commissioner
Allen had plenty to say:
81 am never to be quoted
with respect to a court de-
cision, but 1 tell you that 1
am going to put through the
next Congress a law for an
advisory referendum on all
matters in the District Of
Columbia. I think the Com
missioners ought to have some
accurate way of finding out
what all the people want and
a referendum is the only way
know about.
VOTE NOT BINDING
"A referendum does not
bind the Commissioners; it
does not make law, but it
advises the heads Of govern
ment what the people want
and that is what democracy
is for. There is just such
law in California and also In
Illinois and in other states,
believe.
81 would like to know
whether the people here want a
fifty.miIliOn-dolIar budget or
not; I would like to know how
they feel on q dozen other sub
iects. We hear a lot from
various organizations and in
dividuaIs but we have never yet
heard from all the people"
Commissioner Allen lost no
time in putting his own decision
into effect.
Orders Bill Drafted
He had Vernon West, assistant
corporation counsel, in his office
within five minutes after the
board meeting broke up and in
structed him to draw up a bill
for District referendum law.
This bill, Mr.. Allen explained,
would be personally pushed by
him, and it is not to be con-
sidered a matter in which the
other commissioners are at all
interested.
Meantime the original question
which precipitated the referendum
remains in the air. Four applica-
tons for beer and wine ION sale"
licenses in Takoma Park remain
before the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board.
Also the commissioner have be-
fore them a petition from several
hundred Takoma Park residents
to make that section dry territory.
Chairman Offutt of the ABC
Board said today he believed the
board would take up each applica-
ton as a separate matter, and
Commissioner Hazen indicated the
matter of Takoma Park as a dry
territory would be taken up later.
