Commissioners Abandon
Tak0ma Referendum Case.

"HE Commissioners last week
finally decided to carry the
case OF the Takoma refer
endum injunction proceeding no
further. Expressions of regret are
heard throughout civic circles, re-
gardless of sentiments as to the
license of liquor places. There
was a general civic hope that
through the referendum was to
be found a method of advising
the Commissioners as to the senti-
ment of any neighborhood or of
the entire District. Many felt
that if carried further the tempo
rary restraining order would be
dissolved and permanent injunc-
ton refused.
The Commissioners closed the
Takoma case by declining to act
on the petition to pass a regula-
ton making Takoma a dry area
and sending the cases back to the
A. B. C. Board for action. The
Beverage Board heard two argu-
ments and then by divided vote
granted one license for the sale of
beer, ale and wine by the bottle
and rejected the two applications
for the sale of beer. ale and wine
by the drink and the application
for the sale of all kinds Of alco-
holic beverages by the bottle.
The petitions against the grant,
ing of any kind of license in the
Takoma area contained 1902
names, the aggregate number ia
voring some type of license was $40
and the number favoring the
granting of license for all kinds of
LIQUOR by the bottle was only 463.

WOMEN TO STUDY
CRIME PREVENTION
Principal Local Activity Of Ar
lington Club During Coming
Season to Be Welfare.
By staff Correspondent of The Star.

By Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ARLINGTON. Va, September 20
The Arlington Womans Club, which
is rapidly developing into one of the
leading civic bodies of the county. has
adopted a program for the Winter
which will include complete study of
crime prevention. both from q ma
tional and local standpoint.
Having already held a forum on ma
tional crime control the club Is pre-
pared to take up at its next meeting
the question of local control, how 1t
can best be perfected and what legiS-
lation is needed to increase local en-
forcement.
The study of this question will in
clude a survey of existing State laws
in an effort to determine their worth
in keeping crime at a minimum. and
it is expected that the club will be
in a position before the next session
of the General Assembly to recon-
mend certain changes in statutes to
the Arlington County member of the
Legislature.
Other subjects to be taken up In the
forum sessions are Unemployment
Insurance" "Old-Age Pensions" the
Equal Rights Amendment" and
Birth Control" These will consume
large part of the time OF the club
during the coming Winter.
The principal local activity OF the
club wilt be in the welfare field, since
the club numbers among its member
ship the chairman of the county Board
of Public Welfare, member OF the
county Red Cross chapter and ofh-
cials of the local health clinic
While the Board of Public Welfare
will not decide definitely upon whether
a drive for relief funds will be made
this year until it can be determined
to what extent unemployment has
been relieved through the installation
of the s2,50O,o00 countrywide sever
age system, the Arlington Womans
Club believes that much welfare work
will be needed, and that its assistance
will be required in meeting the un-
employment situation.
In addition to the countrywide well
fare work the club is working in con-
junction with the local Library Asso-
citation in meeting the needs Of this
community. The two organizations
are using the library rooms as clear
ing house for food and clothing which
is being distributed to the needy, and
expects this work to be greatly In
creased as Winter comes on.

Alcohol Effects Taught
In All Our Public Schools

CUPT. BALLOU of the public
y schools writes that instruc-
tions in the effects of alco-
holic drinks and narcotics is of
fered throughout the school sys-
tenn, that specific text books are
used in the instruction and that
instruction reaches ultimately all
pupils in the public school system.
He further adds that every per-
son who qualities for leadership
in any subject in the public schools
must pass an examination in the
effects of alcoholic drinks and mar
cotics on the human system.
This information is supple
mented by copy of report on
Ballou to the Board of Education
under date of June 6, 1884. The
report specifies text books and par
ticular chapters in use in the ele-
mentary schools for teaching Of
the subject. The weekly program
for the elementary schools, the
report states, provides that the
time to be given regularly to in
StruCti0n in hygiene Is as follows:
Grades 1 and 2, 10 minutes per
week; 8 and 4, 80 minutes per
week, and and 6, rs minutes per
week.
In junior high schools Winslow's
Healthy Living" Van Buskirk
and Smiths Science of Everyday
Life" and other material and dia-
grams, charts and stereopticon
slides are used as teaching ma
terial. In addition to the work
done in the general science classes,
the report states, the physical
training teachers conduct regular
classes in hygiene relating unde-
sirable habits to bodily efficiency.
All pupils are said to be reached
by this instruction.
According to this report all pu-
pills in the senior high schools are
given instruction in the harmful
effects of alcohol and narcotics.
The instruction is Systematically
given by the teachers of physical
education. The science teachers
avail themselves of appropriate
opportunities to present the harm
full effects of alcohol in connection
with the science courses.
In this connection 1t has been
learned that the law In Ohio re-
quires that the course in scien-
tidc Temperance instruction b

Board Of Trade Hopeful

VI new government ray MetnO0.
GONE time ago the Board of
y Trade started movement to
bring about a change in the
method Of paying off Government
workers. At first there was sug-
gestion Of staggered pay days by
the different departments so as
to make spread Of the period of
cashing Government checks. This
was found to be impractical be-
cause of the fixed obligations of
Government workers covered by
definite contracts.
Representatives of the board
have been working quietly with
view to making it more convenient
for the workers and at the same
time relieving some of the large
business houses of the enormous
job of cashing Government checks
on pay days. 1t Is said that last
month one large firm alone had
to provide itself with more than
Sl25,000 in cash and have 10
cashiers for the sole purpose of
cashing these pay checks.
1t is expected that some ar
rangement will be made whereby
at least a part of the salaries will
be paid in cash. Officers of the
Board Of Trade feel that they will
have rendered a real service To
both Government worker, mer-
chants and banks If they succeed
in this endeavor.

supplemented by the annual OBJ
servance by the public schools of
the Friday nearest the 18th day
Of January as Temperance day."
On this day all the schools are re-
quired to devote an entire hour to
the subject, with appropriate pro-
grams. Last year the time was
given largely to a study of the
control law and the reasons max
+ ing such law necessary. The eco
nomic and physiological aspects
of the subject also were featured.
Suitable interesting programs were
arranged for all grades, including
the high schools.
"Tell Your Troubles
To q Policeman"
TOST people at some time or
1N1 other have been handed that
old saying, "Tell your
troubles to a policeman" but sell
dom, If ever, have we taken it seri-
ously. Commissioner Hazen evi-
IDENTIFY considers it a good idea,
especially when used in a big way.
When he welcomed the forty first
annual convention Of the Interna-
tional Association Of Chiefs OF
Police last week at the Mayflower.
he embraced real opportunity.
As our Senior city father" he
told the police chiefs that this Is
the only spot in the United States
where the people don't have a
vote" He told them that while
our existing tax rate is only $3.50
per Sl0O and might seem low, as
sessments are based on full value.
which makes the tax burden itself
high. Don't let that situation fool
YOU" Mr.. Hazen added.
Now Commissioner HaZen Is one
of those who believes when you
tell your troubles to a policeman"
you should get some results, SO he
told them, What I want you to
do is to go home and tell your
Congressman the Federal Govern
ment does not give us enough
money to run the Nations Capital"
Among other interesting things
he told the chiefs was that the
Federal Government owns large
areas of property in the District
which are tax exempt and in addi-
tion there are large number Of
national institutions here whose
property is also free from taxation.
Organized civic Washington, it
is believed, approves this line Of in
formation as appropriate TO all
such addresses of welcome.
