said, furthermore, that the George
Washington Memorial Parkway, winch
is planned for both sides Of the river
as a Federal project, would proceed
anyway.
Ball took up the history Of the
establishment of the District Of Co
lumbia, declaring that the only pur-
pose Of its founding was to provide a
place to house the Federal Govern
ment and no more. The people Of
the District, he pointed out, have no
representation in Congress nor do
they have any vote. He read from
an act of Congress which gave back
to Virginia that part Of the original
District of Columbia on the south side
of the Potomac. Quoting from this
act, he said Congress had declared
that this territory receded was mot
needed now nor Is it likely ever to be
necessary"

ID. c. Quiet Place, Says Broavn
after Ne,v York Noise Study
Police Head, HO,Ueuer, to Order Force
to Curb Unnecessary Sounds,
Especially by Motorists.

Maj. Brown had just read in a
newspaper that in Toronto, Canada,
the Board of Control had passed a
resolution prohibiting the footing of
automobile horns between II pm. and
2 am. He said he would not propose
such a regulation for the District
simply because at times the blowing of
a horn Is necessary as a signal.
However, Maj. Brown believes that
automobile horns are abused in Wash
ington, principally by the impatient
driver who tries to force his way
through traffic by making a lot of
noise.
The police superintendent said his
own anti-noise campaign would be
predicated on desire to make Wash
ington quieter city and not because
New York or Toronto had adopted
anti-noise measures or that the Amer
lean Medical Association Journal is
complaining that the efforts of Scien-
fists to make man live longer are being
thwarted by crying babies, shrieking
automobile brakes and screeching
horns.
New York Conditions.
While in New York, Maj. Brown
said, he made particular study OF
noise conditions and was impressed
with the need there of the present
anti-noiSe campaign.
"Why, we don't have anything like
the noise that New York has to put
up with" he declared up around
Times Square, the bankers yell until
late hours of the night. Street-hawk-
ers scream their wares and taxi horns
are blasting. It's bedlam.
Nov, here in Washington the VEN
doris are off the streets at night and
even in the daytime, they are not
permitted to scream. The taxi driv-
ers here wouldn't dare make as much
noise as they do in New York. No
after looking over the situation there,
am convinced Washington is a quiet
place by comparison and 1t will be
quieter when the unnecessary blowing
of automobile horns is brought under
control"

CONSTITUTION DAY
FETE IS PLANNED
All Available Army Units
Will Participate in
Parade.

Plans for the Constitution day cele-
bration Tuesday night took definite
shape today as announcement was
made that all available units Of the
Army will participate in the parade
preceding the pageant on the Monu-
ment Grounds.
1t was reported by Richard NJ Ham,
vice chairman and secretary of the
Celebration Committee, that the War
Department has given assurance that
this branch of the service will be well
represented in the procession along
with the full strength of the District
National Guard and the Fifth Marine
Reserves.
Parade Starts at PM.
The parade, which will start at 7
o'clock from Fourth street and the
Mall, also will include many floats
and decorated automobiles entered by
civic, business, fraternal and patriotic
organizations. The route will be up
Constitution avenue to Fifteenth street
and thence into the Monument
Grounds.
District residents have been re-
quested to display flags at their homes
on the day of the celebration, while
all public schools and private business
houses also will fly flags.
The pageant will be featured by
fireworks, series of novelty dances
depicting patriotic events in American
history and an address by Justin
Miller, special assistant to the At
torney General and chairman of the
Presidents Crime Committee.
Benediction by DIR. Palmer.
The invocation will be given by
Chaplain Alva j. Basted. u S. A.,
and the benediction by DR.. John C.
Palmer, pastor of the Washington
Heights Baptist Church.
Ten thousand seats will be arranged
on the Monument Grounds to give a
view of the pageant and the finish
of the parade. A reviewing stand will
be placed on the north side of North
Monument drive.

Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown re-
turned from New York today after
observing the effects of its anti-noise
campaign, fully convinced that WASH
ington by comparison is quiet place
in which to live.
Nevertheless, Maj. Brown thinks
there is much room for improvement
and he proposes to bring it about. In
a few days members of the force viii
receive special orders to take drastic
steps to soft-pedal all unnecessary
noises.
The automobile driver who toots his
horn at a red light because it doesn't
change to green quickly enough and
the one who pulls up to the curb and
blows to attract the attention of O.
passing blond or some one in the
house across the street is to be the
chief victim of Mai Browns new
anti-noise crusade.
Driver Real Menace.
Maj. Brown thinks that type Of
driver is the worst menace to Wash
ington's peace and quiet. There are
others, of course, he said, such as
blasting radio loud speakers in radio
stores and hootblack shops, and they,
too, are to be toned down.
Maj. Brown pointed out that any
noise that can be considered as "un-
necessary" is taboo and in direct vio-
lation of police regulations. In fact
he explained, any one who makes any
kind of noise that disturbs the peace
and tranquility of the city is liable
to arrest, with perhaps the sole ex-
ception of the scissors grinder. He
is permitted under the regulations tC
ring a bell, but the bell must conform
to certain specifications as to size. It
must not be more than 23s inches
in diameter at the bottom, nor more
than is inches In height.
Crooners Settle Trouble.
Even the street corner croonerS and
barber shop quartets can be stopped
any time of the day or night, under
the regulations, but Maj. Brown said
complaints of vocal disturbances on
the highways have been few and far
between, despite repeal.

SALES Of LEGAL
LIQUOR INCREASE
DR.. Doran Attributes lump
to Treasury's Progress in
Eliminating BootIegger.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The country is drinking more legal
liquor this year than 1t did last.
This was disclosed today at the
Treasury. Its records showed that
100000 gallons of distilled spirits
and 25,700.000 barrels Of beer, ale
stout and porter flowed through Uncle
Sans tax turnstiles during the first
seven months Of 1895.
Compared with the same period in
1884. distilled spirits gained $4,000, 600
gallons and malt liquors 1900, 900 bar
rels.
DR.. James M. Doran. director of the
Distilled Spirits Institute, attributed
the increase principally to "the prog
ress the Treasury is making in elm
mating the bootlegger." He said there
was no way to tell whether total con-
sumption had gone up.
Holds Consumption Up.
But from Edward B. Dunford, coun-
sci for the Anti-Saloon League, came
an assertion that the larger stream OF
tax-paid liquor undoubtedly was due
to increased consumption. He pointed
out liquor could be sold in a larger
territory this year than last and con-
tended that improved economic condi-
lions had given the public additional
purchasing power. As to whether the
Treasury had been cutting down boot
leg sales, the anti-Saloon spokesman
said:
I'm some places observers seem to
think it has, but in other sections
they do not"
Despite the pickup in legal liquor
this year, the flow still is far below
pre- prohibition levels.
The amount of tax-paid distilled
spirits withdrawn from warehouses
for consumption during the full year
ending June 30, 1885, was 82,457.338
gallons, compared with 164,29l ,295 in
1e17-when many persons were stock
ing private cellars-and 1875, 543,973
in the typical prohibition year of
1912.
Consumption of beer and other malt
liquors is nearer the former marks,
a total of 41,946,201 barrels during
the past fiscal year comparing with
60, 1895 in 1917 and 62,l08,633 in
1912.
Prepare New Regulation.
Distillers and brewers in States
which have laws governing them, are
preparing at present for regulation
by the new Federal alcohol Control
Administration.
This agency, authorized by Con-
gress to succeed the one crippled by
the Supreme Courts ruling against
N. r. A. codes, will not be set up
until President Roosevelt selects its
administrator. Joseph H. Choate, jr.,
director of the old F. A. c. A, has in
Dictated he will resign to re-enter pri-
vate law practice.
DR.. Doran, who represents the dis
tillers, declared they will welcome
regulation.
I'VE don't think the industry Is
stabilized yet, and strict control oper-
ates to check abuses which the pub
lie naturally would resent" he said

One of the chief aims Of the

National Council for the Proven
tion of War, is to thwart the
Governments efforts in the erec-
ton of new R. o. T. c. camps

One of the chief objectives OF
the Committee on Militarism in
Education. Miss Varela explains in
her pamphlet is:
consequently the .Organiza-

eSted in the organization are
asked to report to headquarters

ment Of new r. o. T. C. units

the objectives of the organization,
Miss Varela writes:
"The C.. M. E. is in contact
with organized groups and indi-
viduals in all parts Of the cOun-
try, fighting the whole issue of
