TO CONCENTRATE
DISTRICT POWERS
Commissioners o. K. Terms
in PrinCipIe-ExeCutives
Study Proposal.
BR0ADENS AUTHORITY
TO DIRECT BOARDS
Measure Would Permit Veto OF
Action by Groups Supported
by Local Funds.

The Commissioners today approved
in principle the terms of bill to
broaden the powers of the Board of
Commissioners. This is to be one
of the major elements of their pro-
posed legislative program for the at
tention of Congress early in the seS-
sion.
All affected District executives were
called upon this morning to study and
report promptly on details of the
measure.
A major principle in the bill is that
the Commissioners be given power to
veto or to direct an action of the Board
of Education or other government
agencies here which draw financial
support in whole or in part from Dis
trict revenues.
The District heads made public for
the first time today the draft of the
proposed law as prepared for their
action by Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman. This revealed the
many ways in which it is proposed to
extend powers of the municipal gov
ernment.
Could Widen Streets.
Among the list of new actions made
possible would be power to adjust
or abate assessments IN certain cases,
settle small claims against the Dis
trict; to open, close or widen streets
or alleys; regulate and license busi-
nesses; regulate marathon dances or
walks, or other theatrical contests:
regulate the operation of private hos
pitalS; effect more rigid control over
the smoke nuisance, and to have the
power to bar the entrance into the
District of large bodies of persons such
as bonus or hunger" marchers.
The section of the measure giving
the Commissioners power to veto or
direct actions of the so-called inde-
pendent boards reads as follows:
To direct or prohibit action by
any official, employe, agency, COM
mittee, commission or board financed
in whole or in part from revenues of
the District of Columbia Except the
judges, officials and other employees of
the courts, and those of the Public
Utilities Commission), whenever in
the Judgment of the said Commits
sioners such direction or prohibition
is advisable - in the public interest.
Such resolution of direction or pro-
hibition when received by any such
official, employe, agency, committee,
commission or board shall be treated
and have the same effect as though
it were the official act of such re-
cipient."

Girls Change of Sex
Proves TOBe Hoax

SHANGHAI, April 26 QN.S).
A desire to avenge her fathers
death, and not a miracle of ma
ture, was responsible for the
startling "metamorphosis" of a
young Tientsin girl into a man"
last July, it was revealed today.
After having deceived even her
closest friends and the most init
mate members of her family for
ten months, Miss Yao Ching-Pino,
20-year-old daughter of a divi-
sional commander of the Chinese
northeastern army, has finally
been disclosed as a girl after all.
Miss Yao's father disappeared
during the Japanese campaign
two years ago after his troops had
been defeated. Last year word
reached TientSin of his death on
the Siberian border. Miss Yao be-
came bitter.
One day last Juy she came
home dressed in mans clothes
and announced she had been
changed into man by a shock
during thunderstorm. She broke
off her engagement to a Chinese
army officer, stating she could
not be a bride.
Apparently all her friends be-

Whipped by Science

NEW YORK, April 26 U.N.S0.
You mean you never have any
luck at whipping cream? That
you work your arm off and still
it turns out flat about half of
the time?
Well, dearie, if that's the case
you should have been at the
American Chemical Society's con-
vention today to hear the formal
paper by those two University of
Illinois men.
They have figured out a way to
make whipped cream automati-
cally and in less than a minute.
Ordinary cream is put in a siphon
bottle and when you squirt it out
just as though you were mixing
a scotch and Soda-it'S whipped
cream!
G. Frederick Smith and C. A.
Getz, of the University of Illinois,
described their new "aeration pro-
cess" for whipping cream in a
paper prepared for the closing ses.
sion of the convention today.
The new process eliminates the
need for careful chilling of the
cream, eliminates work and makes

CLARKSBURG'S
D|SPENSARY
To CLOSE

ROCKVILLE, Md, April 26.
Prompted by the decided dry vote
cast in the Clarksburg election
district during the prohibition
election of seven Montgomery
county election districts Tuesday,
the board of county commission
ers has taken formal action to
close the county's liquor dlSpen-
airy located at Clarksburg, Md.
The dispensary, established

and although the board took &C.
ton to close it a short time ago,
it was deferred until yesterday. 1t
will officially close Saturday
night and the stock located there
will be distributed among the
county's three other dispensaries.
An official check of the ballots
cast during Tuesdays election, on
the question of whether the pres
ent licensing system now in eff
feet in other sections of the coun-
ty should be extended to these
seven districts, revealed that 4,006
votes were cast.
Of the seven districts in which
elections were held, four voted to
remain dry and three cast their
vote in favor of the sale of liquors.

GREECE To VOTE
On MONARCHY

PARIS, April 26 G.N.S).-The
people of Greece may be given an
early opportunity to decide at the
polls whether they want to end
their I2-year-old republic and in
vite King George II to step back
onto the throne.
This was the one concrete pos
sibility emerging today from a
maze of rumors that stirred cen
tiers of royalist intrigue here and
in London.
Strong reports persisted that
Greek monarchists met here yes
terday to organize a drive for the
restoration, but former King
George himself departed for Lon
don today, emphatically denying
that he had accepted or even re-
ceived bid to return to Athens.
The question of the monarchy
is becoming one of the main issues
in the general elections to be held
in Greece, May 10, for members
of the national assembly, accord
ing to Greek sources here.
The former king would not be
restored to the throne through
a pronunciamento, Nicolas Politis,
the Greek Minister to France,
told the French Foreign Office,
but explained that after the gen.
eral elections the king might be
restored by a vote of the assem-
bly,.
He indicated that the mon
archists are staging a vigorous
campaign, flushed with the sue
cess of the conservatives in de-
feating the recent Venizeloist
democratic revolution.
George II, who hunted tigers in
India while his former subjects
fought in civil war, prefers a
restoration by legal means. Greek
quarters here said he would never
ally himself to any one political
party or return to Greece by
means of a coup d'etat.
They also stressed that the gov
eminent would never invite him
back without consulting the wishes
of the people, probably through a
plebiscite.

SHEETS CUSTER
At BELTSV|LLE
FACESPROBE

A congressional inquiry into the
1ong-smouldering row within the
Department of Agriculture over
conditions on the experimental
farm at Beltsville, Md, is ex-
pected as a result of the discharge
from the Government service
of E. w. Sheets, former manager
of the Beltsville project, for al.
legged mismanagement.
Mr.. Sheets, considered by Secre-
tary Wallace and one contingent
in the department, as negligent
and guilty of maladministration
and misfeasance, has powerful
friends in the Senate to whom he
has appealed since he was re.
moved from control at Beltsville
last october.
A formal inquiry by these is
now being considered, it was re-
vealed today, in an attempt
to uncover facts of Mr.. Sheets
claim that he is the goat of row
between higher-ups headed on the
one side by Mr.. Wallace and on
the other by Undersecretary of
Agriculture Rexford Guy Tugwell.
Mr.. Sheets is a member of the
Tugwell faction who has offended
several bureau chiefs, friends of
Mr.. Wallace, in his administration
at Beltsville and as head of the
AAA drought relief activities of
1884.

about until it begins to go to parties at the
age OF four or five.
Five or more will also tell you that child of
three or 50 should be able to feed itself quite
nicely, but those who are lenient will seem
ngiy think it does we'll enough if it can get
seventy-five per cent of the food into it's
mouth and the remainder over its face.
All ten will agree that baby must learn to
be good, meaning not to have tantruns when
taken out in public But it is unlikely that
even ore will point out the fact that the future
rating of every child as man or woman of
highest culture depends upon certain attri-
butes of taste and character that must be
acquired between the ages of two and six.
A little baby who has learned to lie in its
rib and not cry to be taken up and cuddled,
or amused, has actually learned first lesson
in self-control. Eating nicely is lesson in
neatness and manual dexterity = but not
half so important as to learn that crying is
not brave, that geediness and selhshness are
not admirable, that talebearing is detestable.
ttaa lying is worse, and that impertinence is
inexcusable.
And yet, not even these m self-control
lessons are the ones which should put at the
top OF the list as of first importance in the
education of baby whose parents would like
to give him all the advantages of culture.
AS the first and biggest step on the road
toward highest cultivation there is one su-
preme gift that is granted to every little child

It is true that child can not possibly be

be mistaken for sham

This priceless gift in its completeness be-
comes gradually less acute - in fact, the
highest point of acuteness begins to fade in
many children at the age of three. and in most
before the age of five. Plainly then, the
opportunity of greatest value possible to give

FIRST LOAN in
FARMER CREDITS
MADE SATURDAY

The first loan in the Second Farm
Credit Administrator District made
under provisions of the Farm Credit
Act of 1885 which authorizes the Land
Bank Commissioner to loan money
for the purchase of farm property
was completed Saturday, August 10.
Raymond Webster, a 24-year old
farmer of Secretary, Nd, has been
granted a loan of $4,000 to complete
the purchase of 90-acre truck farm
at East New Market, in Dorchester
County on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
According to the application Web
ster has been planning for some time
to get married and wanted a home
for his bride-to-be. His father, Dan
iel Webster, hardware merchant OF
Cambridge, offered one Of the several
farms owned by him. Using $l,5OO
he had saved over number OF years
as an initial payment, young Web
ster applied for the balance of the
purchase price of the farm, $4,1OO,
through the Dorchester County Ma
tional Farm Loan Association. The
price includes team and equipment.
After the appraisal and necessary
details, two loans were granted, one
for $4,000 through the association at
per cent and the other for $1,000
from the Land Bank Commissioners
funds at 5 per cent. The balance OF
5000 is being carried by the father.
No principal payments are due for 3
years.
A large number of applications for
similar loans are being made at OF
fees of National Farm Loan Asoscia-
lions in this district, including Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virgin
ia and West Virginia. County Agents
and offices Of Emergency Crop and
Feed Loans have reported numerous
instances of tenant farmers applying
for information relative to farm pur-
chases.
The increased interest in farm buy
ing began with the passage Of the
Farm Credit Act of 1885, which made
possible the granting of loans by the
Land Bank Commissioner for the pur-
chase of farms by farmers, tenant
farmers and prospective farmers. Un-
der provisions of the new law Commits
sioners loans may now be made for
the purchase of land for agricultural
uses; for the purchase of equipment,
fertilizer, and livestock necessary for
the proper operation of the farm; to
provide buildings and for the improve
ment of land; to refinance any indebt-
edness secured by lieu on any part
of the farm property owned by the ap-
plieant even though he is not personal
ly liable for the Indebtedness; and to
provide the owner of land with funds
for general agricultural uses.
Loans of this type may be made to
extend over a period of from 10 to "a
years. They are made on the basis
of rs per cent of the appraised nor
NAL value of the land and improve
ments and bear interest at the rate
of 5 per cent No principle payment
is required for the first three years
of the loan.
