Admiral Cary T. Grayson. chairman

the report, pointed out that work
being done with families is being car
ried out with the ultimate eim of
placing them on more independent
basis.
Better Preparation.
"Our workers attempt to assist In
such a manner that the individuals
or the family will be better prepared
to live their lives and meet difficulties
from resources from within them
selves rather than through dependence
on others, Admiral Grayson said.
The report covers many activities
engaged IN by the Red Cross during
the year. Many of the developments
In chapter work have been due to ma
tional, State and local changes in the
emergency or unemployment relief
work.
In hundreds of Red Cross chapters,
the report points out, much progress
has been noted during the past year
in development of projects designed
for community betterment.
Volunteers, according to the report,

preparation of $3.50 to provide plastic
surgery and disqualification for five

ney James H. Pugh.
In an order to Police Chief ].
William Garrett today, Mr.. Pugh
pointed out that operation of
such machines violates the county
gambling laws, and instructed
him to see that all merchants now
employing the machines remove
them at once.
Failure to do so, he added,
would result not only in the con-
fiscation of the machines, but the
arrest of the merchants operating
them.
The law is far-reaching, Mr..
Pugh declared, applying not only
to machines but to paddle wheels,
bingo booths, books of chances,
and any game wherein a player
deposits money with a possibility
of return in money or merchan.
disc.
Nearly every store, filling sta
ton and lunch room in the county
contains at least one or two of the
machines. In some establishments
they are more numerous.

MAIL ORDER GUN
NEARLY COSTS
BOY FINGER
Could Have Got Real Thing,'
He Says, Instead of Toy,
Showing Catalogue

Twelve-year-old John Dracopou-
los, 5000 block Thirteenth St.
N. w., is nursing a badly wounded
finger which he almost lost as a
result of playing with a harm
less mail-order pistol which
shoots blank cartridges.
1t was a month ago that John,
curly haired, brown-eyed student
of the Petworth School, sixth
grade, read an advertisement in
magazine which told how he
could purchase one of the pistols
for Is cents. He clipped the cou-
pom, sent away for the pistol and
enclosed also so cents for 100
blank % caliber cartridges. The
weapon was shipped via express
addressed to John Dracopoulos,
Esq" John said:
"The day after 1 got the gun,
I was showing it to some kids
over near the ice house on
Kansas Avenue, a few blocks
from my home. I broke the
gun and loaded it. When 1 was
trying to snap it back, it went
off and shot me here"
Finger Nearly Severed
The boy traced a semi-circular
line over a bandage on his left
index finger TO indicate the
wound. The line he traced showed
the finger had been almost severed
at a point where it meets the
palm of the hand. DR.. James
Stuart was called, gave an anti
tetanus injection and for several
weeks attended the boy daily.
At one time it was feared he
might lose the finger. John then
exhibited a catalogue, shipped
with the gun, and said:
~ not only can get these
blank pistol guns but look here,
1 can get the real thing. All
1 have to do is to send in the
money. I don't need a permit
or anything. They'll send me
the gum"
Sale Refused Here
The catalogue had sections of
it devoted to rifles, knives, fire
works and other noisemakerS in
addition to the new safety
models" of blank cartridge pistols.
John explained he tried to buy
cartridges for the weapon at
local hardware stores, but was re-
fused. Such weapons and fire
works cannot be purchased in the
District.
Mrs. George Dracopoulos, the
boys mother, said she knew her
son had obtained the gun, but
allowed him to play with it when
he assured her it was harmless
and exhibited the catalogue to
prove his statement.

DRIVERS CAN 7
MAKE LIVING,
PUG. TOLD
Commission Is Urged to Limit
Number of Taxicabs Here
BY Refusing New Licenses

There are things about Wash
ington's 20-30-50-70cent taxicab
zone rate which are insane"
President Bernard L. Henning of
the Cab Drivers Protective Asso-
citation told the Public Utilities
Commission today.
Advocating the 20-40-60-80-cent
rates used by the Union Cab AS
ISOLATION and some independent
drivers, Mr.. Henning declared
drivers cannot make living under
the lower schedule.
Appearing before the Commits
sion at resumption of hearings
on cab rates, Mr. Henning pointed
out that some 30-cent fares under
the lower rate involve a trip of
from seven and eight miles. He
declared:
From the Navy Yard to De-
catur Street for 80 cents is
simply insane"
He testified that his own earn
ings range from SIS to $6 day.
When members of the Commits
sion pointed out that this average
was slightly less than the earn
ings claimed by drivers operating
under the lower rate, he said his
operating expenses were less be-
cause he makes fewer trips.
Rows Over Rates
The union executive said he
does not pick all persons who hail
him, because he wants to avoid
arguments over the higher rates.
Peoples counsel, William A.
Roberts, asked:
what is the reaction of the
riding public to the higher
rates."
The hacker stated:
"When you explain the rea.
SOnableneSs of the rate they
agree to pay"
It was brought out by Commits
sioner Riley Elgen that under the
general conception that taxicab
drivers should be paid per cent
of the gross intake of the We
hicle' which they operate, hack
ers would average approximately
$640 a year.
Mr.. Henning advocated a fare
box in taXicabS as a means of
eliminating overcharging. He
asked the Commission to limit the
number of taxicabs in operation
here by not issuing any new ii.
cenSeS.
Brill Backs Low Fare
Leon Brill, president of the Bell
Cab Company, advocated the 20.
3O-50-70-cent rates.
He asked the commission to
limit the number of cabs here to
the numbe .rnow in operation.
The appeal of taxicab operators
for reduction of licenses fees
from $25 to $3.50 per year, and
drivers permits from SIS to 3, was
denied by the Commissioners.
The taxicab industry representa-
tives claimed that the fees paid
by them were much in excess to
the cost of injection of taXicabs.
