Pep Meeting! .

Friday may have been the 18th, but
it didn't in any way effect the grand
pep program which was staged on the
afternoon of the supposedly fatal day.
The program consisted of the greatest
variety of entertainment and one OF the
cleverest Pep stunts that has ever
been presented at Pep rally at Lib
by High School. Il all began, when
Marion Racicot, that talented and ever
amusing Soph, proceeded to be big
bully and get even with the infant
Frosh. AS mistress Of ceremonies,
Marion initiated some of the little ones.
Imagine. if you can, the hilarity
created when Bedford Harley drank
his milk from a nursing bottle and
Bernice Statsvieken informed the
audience that as far as she was con-
cerned. Plymouth cars and motorcycles
both have their advantages.
However much tlls-r3p}as enjoyed
the situation Of their superiority, the
audience gained certain amount OF
satisfaction out of the good-sports-
manship Of the oppressed Frosh AS

So, 100000 Bogus Money
Seized, 80 in N. Y. JaiIs

NEW YORK, March 16 G.N.SO.
The metropolitan underworld went
into hiding today as the United
States Governments nationwide
drive on crime continued.
Early today, officials revealed,
80 persons had been arrested in
the New York area, and large
seizures of dope, counterfeit
money, liquor and other property
had been made.
One of the biggest results Of
the roundup was the raiding of
a house in Ossinning, in the
shadow of Sing Sing prison, from
which, secret service men said,
the country had been flooded
with the finest fake $40 and $40
bills seen in years. Approximately
$2,OC0,0OO in bogus currency was
seized in the raid.
Eleven men and one woman
were taken into custody in con-
nection with the Ossining raid.
Fifty-Six liquor raids were made
in the metropolitan district by
internal revenue men, who took
30 prisoners.

To the Editor of The Times:
So Congressman Blanton
wants to be the Huey Long Of
Washington, the Dictator, and
tell us who is going to be chief
Of police, does he?
That again shows the need
for the residents of the District
to have a vote, so we can run
our own affairs without inter
ference from Texas longhornS
or Shorthorns.
If the people of Texas are so
benighted as to elect such a
man to represent them, that is
their misfortune. But it is no
reason for allowing him to run
our affairs here.
mo Taxation Without Repre-.
sentation" was the motto of our
forefathers. Let up adopt it
ourselves, and all refuse to pay
taxes until we are given the
ballot.
Then there will be no Blan-
tons to run our city into the
ground.
If this be treason, then make
the most of it!

POINT To POINT
RACE REVIVED

WARRENTON, Va, March 16.
Sportsmen Of this section Of Vir'
ginia are on edge over the old
fashioned point-to-point race that
will be staged here today, max
ing an annual event Of a sport
that was popular in Virginia
many years ago.
The race will mark the wind
up of the hunting season.
There will actually be two
races, starting at 10 o'clock, and
the courses will not be made
known until several hours before
the events. Therein lies much
of the thrill of the races. All
entrants should know the coun-
try in which they run, because
the winner is the one who gets
to the finishing point first re-
gardless Of the barriers - hills,
hedges, fences or creeks.
Freddy Prince, Of Boston, who
recently bought Virginia farm.
revived the point-to-point races
last year.
Thirty-six of the best hunters
in Virginia are entered in today'S
contests.

ISLAND DEFENSE
ASKED IN BILL

To strengthen a dangerous weak
spot in the national defense, Rep.
resentative Tolan Cd, of Califor.
MIA yesterday proposed removal of
harbor distractions at Wake and
Midway Islands in the Pacific
Ocean.
He introduced a bill asking
100000 to remove coral reefs
which now prevent safe entry of
vessels.
Wake Island particularly needs
improvement, Mr.. Tolan said. It
is in an important location, strate-
gically lying halfway between
Honolulu and Manila.
Mr.. Tolan also asked shipping
board fleet reserve vessels be sta
toned at each of the islands to
promote and safeguard commerce
between the United States and the
Far East.

POST EMISSIONS
'STRATO' AIR
MAIL LINE

NEW YORK, March 16 I.N.S).
Wiley Post, the one-eyed ace of
airplane pilots, today gave a vivid
description of his pioneer mail
flight through the subStratosphere
and declared that his experiment
proved the region above the
earth's atmosphere will be used
for the fastest and cheapest
tranScontinental passenger and
mail service in the near future.
Fully rested after his thrilling
flight over an unblazed trail six
miles above this planet, Mr.. Post
told International News Service:
"The trip showed me there is
no question that SubstratO-
sphere flights will be practical
soon. If 1 had not run into
difficulties twice yesterday 1
would have made it across the
country in ! hours and Is or
20 minutes.
"And I would have made the
trip with less than 275 gallons
of gasoline. The Winnie Mae
eats up about 500 gallons of
gas going across the country at
the usual heights"
Mr.. Post took off from Los An
geles at 6:16 a. m. yesterday with
a load of mail. He passed over
Cleveland, where he was forced
down, seven hours and nine min
utes later. If his flight had been
successful, he would have clipped
more than two and a halt hours
off the present transcontinental
record of 1902, held by Col.
Roscoe Turner.
The flier wore a specially built
suit, resembling a divers suit, into
which oxygen was pumped. It was
when his supply of liquid oxygen
gave out that he was forced down.
81 first knew something was
wrong when felt my suit sag
ging. / saw it was deflated. /
looked at the register on the
oxygen tank and saw it was
empty. So had to dive and
dive quick.
'I1l take a bigger tank on the
next trip"
Mr.. Post didn't say when his
next trip would be, but intimated
it would be in the near future.

Wisconsin Avenue SWitch

Wisconsin Avenue SUitch
Is Fought
To the Editor Of The Times:
Just a few lines to say that I
noticed in your paper that the
citizens Of Georgetown were
complaining to the Public Utili-
ties Commission because they
are allowing the Capital Transit
Company to put a switch at
Wisconsin Avenue and M Street.
When the new P Street bridge
is completed, they are not go.
ing to let the street car com.
pany run its cars on it: they
are going to put a switch at
Wisconsin Avenue and M Street
and reroute the street cars from
M Street up Wisconsin Avenue
to P Street.
What is the matter with the
Public Utilities Commission and
the District Commissioners to
allow the street car company to
put a switch at that corner?
They know that is one Of the
worst corners in the District,
and are going to let them put
one there.
I always thought the Public
Utilities Commission was for the
good of the people and helped
them, but it looks like they are
for the street car company.
The Georgetown Citizens AS
sociation should get together
with the Progressive Association
Of Georgetown, and the Business
Mems Club and get out a peti.
ton, and take it to Congress
and have it stopped at once.
They were going to run buses
over the P Street bridge. What
made them change their minds?
