efforts still are being made to
realize on notes given the Govern
ment by farmers as long ago as
1921.
The outright losses already sus.
tanned by the Government in crop
loans not only are shockingly
heavy, the President declared, but
the cost of administering the loans
has turned out to be greater than
the interest collected on them.
The Governments only security
on the loans has been chattel
mortgages on crops of the Dor
rowers. Officials have pointed out
that many of the borrowers either
have produced no crops that
could be realized upon or else

Denouncing emergency crop
loans to farmers, which now az
gregate more than 300 million
dollars, President Roosevelt has
announced that the current year
will see the end Of the program.
He made the announcement
shortly after signing the new
40 million dollar loan bill but
let it be known with emphasis he
would not approve another. He
declared he is through with such
loans after 1884, and gave the
impression that it was with re-
luctance he allowed the present
loan bill to become a law.
The Chief Executive is said to
be against this type of farm re-
lief because of the Governments
losses in collecting the loans. Of
the 100 million dollars loaned
farmers last year, only about 70

HITS GAS CASE

CONTINUED from Local PGge)
The Commissioners hold the view
that existence of the office to-
gether with that Of Assistant Cor
poration Counsel for the P. U. c.,
causes useless duplication of
duties.
The plan under consideration is
to set up a new office, that Of
counsel for the Commission. The
duty of the holder of this post
would be to act as prosecutor for
the Commission in utility mat
tiers, to conduct hearings, and to
serve as an enforcement officer.
The Corporation Counsel would
continue to act as advisory coun-
sci for the P. U. c..
President Backs Plan
It is believed that President
Roosevelt could effect this change
under recent legislation enabling
him to merge offices in the Fed
eral and District Governments.
The President is believed to favor
such an arrangements, since he
made a similar change in the
utility setup Of New York while
he was Governor Of that State.
Another thing which is taken
to indicate an early change in
utility control here is the fact
that the term Of Riley E. Elgen,
acting chairman Of the P. U. c.,
will expire June 80. Mr.. Elgren
was appointed about two years
ago to fill the unexpired term
Of Harleigh H. Hartman, who
resigned after public criticism Of
his previous connection with Ger.
tain utility interests.
Friends of Mr.. Elgen already
are campaigning for his reappoint-
ment. Should he fail to be

in two of the three members Of

BY International News Service

By International News Service
"Drinkable whisky at reasonable
prices" was the objective Of the
Federal Alcohol Control Admins
tration today.
Chairman Joseph H. Choate, jr.,
Of the administration, expressed
the hope prices were on the down
ward trend as a result Of permits
sion for unrestricted importationS
from Canada and other opera
lions Of the FACA.
Cuts Price rs Per Cent
Canadian distillers agreed to
place liquor in the United States
at prices Is per cent below the
quotations Of 10 days ago. On
that agreement the FACA decided
to permit unlimited imports from
the Dominion.
Although there was said to be
available a supply of about U.s.
100000 gallons of American type
liquor in Canada for export to
the United States, only 1,750,000
gallons was brought in under the
original authorization. American
authorities attributed the small
importation to the fact that
prices were too high.
Most Of the Canadian liquor
to be imported under the new
permits will be for rectification
purposes. Mr.. Choate expressed
the belief the importationS would
have pronounced effect on re-
ducing the American price Of
rectified liquor.
Tariff Cut Possible
Indications pointed to recon-
mendations from the FACA for
a reduction in the tariff on
whisky. The rate is now SIS a
gallon. While not making q spe-
cific statement, Mr.. Choate init
mated he favored a SO a gallon
tax in the interest of reduction
in the price.
It was admitted that present
prices tend to perpetuate the
bootlegger in business. One Of
the detectives of the Administra-
ton in its liquor policy was the
elimination of the bootlegger.

JUDGE IGNORES

ATTORNEYS
Hundreds Watch Police Enter
Adjoining Places in the
1400 Block of G st.

Over protests of attorneys for
nine principals held in two gam
bling raids yesterday, Judge Rob
ert E. Mattingly in Police Court
today continued the cases until
March IS, at the request Of
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Hart.
Harry Whalen, appearing for
six of the defendants, charged
Mr.. Hart wanted the continuance
in order to take the cases directly
to the Grand Jury and eliminate
Q Police Court hearing. The
charge was not denied.
Pleas Denied
Mr.. Whalen and Charles E.
Ford, who represented three other
defendants, both declared their
clients entitled to immediate hear
1ngs, but Judge Mattingly stood
by his decision to continue the
cases until March Is.
The courtroom was crowded
with 1875 men captured in the
raids and held in $500 bond each
as Government witnesses. All were
in court, and bonds of all were
continued pending the hearing, or
the more probable Grand Jury
action.
Well Equipped
The two places raided were In
the 1400 block of G st. N. w.
Both, according to police, were
equipped with blackboards for the
posting of race results and the
prices paid by winning horses.
In order that the customers would
not become bored between the
races, both places we're prepared
to offer their clients dice and
card games as well as chuck-a-
luck, another form Of gambling,
police said.
Police first surrounded the places
and then several members of the
raiding party got on the roof,
broke skylights and slid down
ropes into the gambling rooms.
Those who went in that way
ordered the men in the places to
stand against the walls while one
of the police opened the barred
doors and admitted the rest Of
the raiders.
Charged With Gaming
Police said they arrested Ed
ward j. Goldberg, 81, of the 1900
block of Fuller st. N. w.; Will
liam c. Byrne, 80, Of the 300
block Of F st. N. w., and Han
racks M. Nicholas, 40, of the 1900

They are charged with setting up
gaming tables.

place were identified by police as

pounds.
am painfully thin and I beg
of you to help me. Sincerely,
S. E. K.
Dear Miss S. E. K:
Eating to gain weight, doesn't
mean eating everything that is
forbidden to the fat. It does
mean plenty of bread and cereal
whole wheat preferably and
butter. eggs, cream and milk,
oil in salad dressing, as well as
vegetables, fruits and other nor
NAL foods.
Under development, on the
other hand, is a matter of exer-
else. For the most part the
same exercises which encourage
the loss of fat also encourage
the development of muscles.
Swimming would be very good
for developing the lower parts
Of your arms and legs, and so
would tennis. Exercise, which
promotes circulation, will not
only keep your figure but your
whole system in better shape.
I want to tell you about a
drink that has helped many
cases of underweight: Blend
two or three tablespoons of
heavy cream with one heaping
teaspoon of pure strained honey.
Fill a tall glass to within two
inches of the top with milk. Add
ginger ale and stir until the
drink foams. Take two or three
times daily.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

never be happy with a man
who was so careless about his
personal appearance. I feel
pretty badly about this.
x x K
It's a great mistake for a
man to be careless about his
personal appearance and to go
about in an impressed suit, and
unclean hands.
This could not be avoided by
unemployed young men during
the depression, but as you have
a Government job there is really
no excuse for you to go about
with a girl, looking impressed
and ungroomed.
Why don't you check up on
these things and ask her to give
you another trial.

Your Presence
Just coming into your presence,
Sensing your spirits bloom
Is like stepping into the SUM-

Out of a shadoWed room.
Never a care but lessons,
Never a joy but gains.
Never a doubt but withers
While the magic of you re-

Yours is the glory and grace
Of starlight falling Whitley
In a denSely wooded place.
Shadows may browse and

But wherever the starlight falls
Its gleam is as pure and perfect

Never a grief but softens
Or a hope but wakes strong,
Just coming into your presence,
