Maj. A. S. Lanier and Two
Women Hurt in Three
Accidents.

Three persons were hurt in District
traffic accidents in the past "a hours,
one of them by an automobile whose
driver is said to have failed to stop.
Maj. Alexander S. Lanier, 66, of the
Westmoreland Apartments, an attor-
ney at the United States Veterans
Administration, was injured yester-
day when, it was reported, he was
struck by the hit-and-run car at Con-
necticut avenue and California street.
Mrs. Edward Y. Miller of the West
moreland Apartments, friend, who
told of the accident, reported Maj.
Lanier under observation at Mount
Alto Hospital for possible internal in
jurieS.
Up to late this morning, police said
they had received no report on the
accident.
Mrs. Mae Mcdonald, 81, of 1929
Benning road northeast, suffered a
struck last night by an automobile
near the Benning viaduct. She was
taken to Casualty Hospital. John W.

driver, was arrested and charged with
operating the automobile with defec-
tive brakes.

$4,000 HOSPITAL

Barnard Wants Item in
Budget for Plant at
0Ccoquan.
BENEFITS DECLARED
TO BE THREEF0LD
Two Dormitories, Caring for
200 Patients, Would Be
Built. y

Inclusion in next years budget Of
a $4,000 item for construction Of q
hospital for inebriates and drug ad-
diets at the Occoquan, Va, work.
house, was recommended today to
the Board of Welfare by Capt. M. M.
Barnard, veteran superintendent OF
District penal institutions.
The project long has been advocated
by Barnard and recently has been
seriously discussed by the Welfare
Board. In order to make it feasible,
the penal statutes would have to be
amended so that heavier penalties
than at present might be imposed on
habitual inebriates.
Capt. Barnard is enthusiastic about
the plan and argues its benefits would
be threefold. Many prisoners would
be rehabilitated; arrests and trials
would be more infrequent since So
called repeaters would be kept at the
hospital until cured, and, lastly. the
prospect of lengthy sentences would
be a psychological deterrent to drunk
enneSS.
Would Accommodate zoo.
According to Capt. Barnard's plan,
the hospital would have facilities for
about 200 patients and would be near
the present workhouse group of build
ings.
There would be two dormitories
similar to the present C. w. A. dormi-
tories recently constructed at the
Lorton Reformatory. These would
cost a total of $4,000, and each
would include recreation room which
could be used as a dining hall.
A general service building to cost
$35 900, would house administrative
offices and the kitchen on the first
floor, and the actual hospital on the
second. Incidental costs, such as for
equipment would total an additional
1000, Capt. Barnard estimates.
Personnel Would Wait.
He suggested that no appropriation
be sought next year for personnel,
urging that this matter be allowed to
rest until the physical plant is COM
pleted. There would have to be
psychologists, sociologists, dieticians,
nurses and guards to staff the institu-
ton.
Substantial economies would be
effected, Barnard pointed out, by To-
eating the hospital at Occoquan,
where such facilities as storerooms,
roads, walks, heating, telephone and
light systems already are available.

KING VOLUNTEERS
HEALTH FUND AID
Offers to Go Before Budget Bu-
reau in Behalf of Request
for $4,000.

An offer by Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee to 60 be-
fore the Budget Bureau to support the
request of the Commissioners and
Health Officer Rutland for a supple
mental estimate of SOS, 900 gave new
impetus today to the effort of the
city heads to make provision for what
they regard to be essential health
needs for the coming fiscal year.
The Senator brought up the sub
ject during yesterdays meeting of the
District Committee, told the Com
missioners he was deeply interested in
seeing adequate health protection and
promised to support the proposed
estimate.
The amount to be asked for Is only
part Of fund which the Senate Ap-
preparations Subcommittee, headed by
Senator Thomas Of Oklahoma, ap-
proved in the regular District supply
bill for the coming year, but which
had to be cut out in conference with

BAN ON SHOOTING
WATERFOWL ASKED
Nature Association Makes Ap.

munition Makers.

BY the Associated Press.
A closed season on migratory water
fowl was asked yesterday by the
American Nature Association.
It called attention in a statement
to an announcement by Jay N. Darl-
ing, head of the Biological Survey,
that he had accepted $4,000 from an
ammunition maker to help finance
game management courses in State
universities.
The association said:
"If ammunition manufacturers have
any real interest in the future Of
American game birds they can prove
it most effectively by contributing to
the enforcement of q closed season
on ducks and geese.
TT is nothing new for the ammuni-
ton makers to contribute money to
make studies Of game species with q
view to increasing their profits. " :"
"As far as we know this is the first
time that a government bureau
charged with the duty of protecting
wild life has seen fit to undertake the
task of administering any money ten

 Barbara, with a travelling bag in one hand and a satchel in the other, stepped off the train at Riverdale.
 "It's no use, Conrad" Barbara had. cried half in fury and half in tears, after the party where she had come upon Conrad a little drunk and kissing somebody who had been something else but was now a blonde. "Its no use. I guess it was all wrong from the beginning. The rich young man with nothing to do but spend money marries the little working girl who served him in the old for ist shop. It does sound grand, and while it lasted it was grand, but such things don't last"
 "M'deaf, that's just silly. Y'know I was only joking"
 Conrad was still a bit drunk when he started to take her in his arms. The odor of liquor on Con- rad'S breath was very obvious to her. Barbara. had bolted into her room and locked her door; and the next morning while Conrad was still asleep she had noiselessly crept out of the house.
 Just three months and seventeen days since he had married her, and now she had come to Riverdale to stay there for the time required in order to secure a divorce. Con- rad could be so fine, and he was so handsome. The trouble was that he was a wastrel. If he had only gone out and got himself a job Barbara wouldn't have had to get herself a divorce.
 Maybe because it looked like it might rain. there wasn't a soul in sight as Barbara stood on the plat form and felt terribly lonesome.
 eff you're going into town, young lady. I'll be glad to give you a lift"
 Barbara saw 8 thin, gray-haired man with very intelligent and kind ly eyes standing before her.
 Thank you," said Barbara. 'I am going to town. Don't they have busses in this town, or taxis, or something?"
 '"They have busses, but they're not available this afternoon be- cause my political rival is having a rally. You see, election is only a month off. I had a rally yester- day. but there was bus service"
 "Oh, that's too bad! But it might rain"
 That wouldn't help. Something more is required to keep Herman from taking my place as mayor of Riverdale."

 "Id like to play golf with you every day." MT Highland said later, "but people will talk, and a man in public life has to be careful" Sure" agreed Barbara, "I know how it is."
 "So why don't you come up to my apartment some evening? Say tomorrow evening? I'll be all alone, and so nobody will see me with you. Ha! Ha+"
 "Ha! Hal" Barbara laughed in return. tG
 The next evening Barbara stole slyly into Herman Highlands apartment. Herman was dressed in a tuxedo, and there was cham pagne. Barbara felt confident. Herman Highland was the kind that talked plenty.
 But hardly had Barbara sat down when the door banged open. And there, glaring but looking little frightened, stood Conrad. "What's this?' Herman exclaim- ed as he rose from the table, his face. as well as his nose, red. Con- rad could think of no answer at | the moment, and so to settle things he swung his fist hard to Herman $ jaw. Leaving Herman sprawled on the floor, he caught Barbara up in his arms and carried her all the day down to his roadster.
 Tt was nothing; really it was I nothing" Barbara sobbed excitedly. Come to the mayor with me and I'll prove it." "It's nothing-finding you in room with another mani" Conrad snapped, and increased the pres roadster seemed to be- flying. And after I, my heart broken, have been looking for you from the mo- ment you left"
 "But let me explain" Barbara begged. And she did explain it all to him, finishing with: "And when you broke in the way, you did, you spoiled everything" Conrad laughed, but hardly had he done so when a look of deter- imitation came to his face-a look of determination in spite of the lit- tie smile that insisted upon playing at the corner of his lips.
 "All right honey! You want me to stop being a wastrel and to got myself job? I will! And my first job will be campaign manager for Silas Harper!" And Conrad swung the car around and drove back toe ward Riverda1e.
