Veterans Adopt Son

Wartime buddies of the late

Behind the adoption Of the

him with their counsel and advice

The boy can't have many happy
recollections of his father. The
wartime flying hero, suffering
from a head injury that sent him
into fits of depression, died in
poverty after years of drinking,
separated from his wife and boy.
Only the intervention of veterans

DOG RELEASED
FROM TRAP

A dogs whining cry of pain
and the clicking of metal in the
rear Of their apartment last mid.
night attracted the attention OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Robey, 1911
Wyoming Ave. N. w.
In the alley they found a much
bedraggled police dog with a heavy
trap dragging from his left front
paw. Although the dog was in
much pain, he was gently coaxed
into allowing the trap to be re.
moved from his badly swollen paw.
The dog was then taken to DR..
Mason Weadon, veterinarian at
2119 Eighteenth st. N. w., who
treated the dog and is holding him
for his owner.
Mrs. Robey said today:
81 cannot understand how
anyone could be SO cruel as to
set such a trap for any animal.
If that trap had caught smaller
dog or cat the foot would un-
dOubtedly been crushed or the
animal killed."

George doesn't have to worry.
He'll never have to go through
that head-walking act"
His inspection, like the once-over
which Commissioner Allen gave
the lights, revealed few, If any
persons, paying attention to them.
Commissioner Hazen said the
lights could be worked successfully
with a policeman at each of the
four corners of the intersections,
but added if policemen were sta

Both Houses Expected
to Get Continuing
Resolutions

Congress returned to work to-
day to decide what if anything it
would do about providing money

next year.
After it recessed Saturday a
week ago, the Senate conferees on
the 1887 District Appropriation

agreement with the House man.
ayers. This notice is scheduled to
be served on the Senate today. On
the other side of the Capitol it IS
expected that the House manag.
ers also will sign and present q
disagreement notice.
The chairmen of the conferees
on both sides are then expected
to bring up continuing resolutions
which would provide bare main
tenance funds for the next year.
Although this is the plan that
will be followed if the regular pro-
cedure is adhered to, Washington
citizens and the District Commits.
Sioners are making every effort to
turn the tide and have the House
recede from it's position and let a
compromise appropriation bill go
through instead of the resolutions.
The citizens have flooded Capt.
tol Hill with their petitions. The
Commissioners have conferred
with Senator Elmer Thomas CD,
of Oklahoma, chairman of the SEN
ate conferees, seeking relief, and
President Roosevelt has been ap.
pealed to.
Under these circumstances Sem
ator Thomas is still optimistic that
a bill will be agreed to at the last
moment. For his part he will not
press for a continuing resolution
until all hope is lost. There is q
chance that House leaders may
take a hand in the situation today

NEW LOAN ACT

Charging that "loan sharks" for
nearly 20 years have run rampant
in the District, William A. Rob-

vocated support Of a more liberal
loan law and passage of a law to
curb wage frauds. Roberts spoke
last night at dinner Of the Busi-
ness and Professional Women's

Roberts declared loan sharks
have been able to prey on the
washington public because Of the
restricted loan act, which was ap-
proved back in 1918. Regarding
the wage law, he said small en-

many cases are cheating their en-

they are entitled to receive.

LAUREL PARK IMPROVEMENT
ACTIVITY BIGGEST IN DECADE;
PROPERTY SALES SHOW GAIN
Drainage, Street Widening,
Restricting Are in
Progress There

Laurel Park has staged come
back with the greatest improve
ment activity it has enjoyed since
the 1925-26 boom.
"Over 100 pieces of property
nave been sold in the last As
days." said Julian w. Fuller, to
which Tax Collector Fletcher A.
Roberts nodded approval as he
proceeded to describe the street
Improvement campaign now under
way.
The City of Laurel Park is
sponsoring the drainage, street
widening and surfacing program
of the WPA and a crew of men
is already at work. The streets
that were surfaced will be rebuilt,
where deterioration was most Sc
rious, and the Laurel Park quar-
ry will furnish stone for street
building purposes.
The Lake drive will be rebuilt,
stoned and surfaced.
The street leaving the boule-
ward near Mayor A. C. Hewitt's
residence and coming back into
the main road at the old tea room
will be improved at once. Smiths
drive, passing the old tower, is
scheduled for improvements, also
Arbutus lane. The paved street
leading from the Boulevard above
the tea room toward the golf
course is to be rebuilt also.
A healthy building program has
been on in Laurel Park since the
early part of the year. Recent
purchasers of property have also
indicated that they will build be-
fore next summer, among these
being:
Ray Jackson of Sarasota, Fla.
Rev. N. E. Davis of Columbus,

MADRID RATIONING

(Bx UNITED PRESSl

Spain's bloody civil war today
neared it's dramatic climax, but
not its end, as reactionary insur-
gents, in the ascendancy, were ad-
vancing on all fronts, particularly
along the Toledo Madrid road.
Unless some miracle intervenes,
the capital is doomed to fall into
the hands of rebels.
The better trained and better
equipped insurgents were to be
resisted bitterly to that end. Ma

The fall of Madrid, altho mean
ing a real rebel victory, would not
mean that the war is over.
Weeks, or months, of scattered
strife, with murders and execu-

likely to ensue.

ROOSEVELT is LAUNCHING
SECOND STAGE OF SOCIAL,
ECONOMIC PROGRAM TODAY
Is Interpretation Put On
Efforts to Pool Utili-
ties, Federal Power

WASHINGTON. Sept. 80 (UP)
President Roosevelt will discuss
the pooling of federal and pri-
vate power facilities of the Ten
nessee Valley with federal and
private utility executives this aft
ernoOn.
His conference here with them
will launch the second part of the
administrations social economic
program to furnish widely dis
tributed, cheap electricity"
The presidents theory is that
the utilities should pool individual
generating plants and transmits
sion systems with the big govern
ment dams in power cooperatives.
The president, arriving for a
one-day stopover in Washington
shortly before noon, will receive
the utility heads at p. m. at the
White House. Tonight he will
leave for Pittsburgh to continue
his campaign.
The conference is intended to
further the "cheap electricity,
widely distributed program which
he outlined early this month in his
world power conference address
here. Then he had just returned
from a tour of the Tennessee val
ley.
The meeting will launch the
second phase of the administra-
tion's social-economic power pro-
gram. Now that the government
has a series of large, expensive
hydro-electric dams completed or
under construction in several Sec
tions of the country, the president
is seeking a way to market the
energy at low cost.
The plan prepared for submis-
sion to the utility heads is held
specifically to the Tennessee Val
lev Authority area in the south
east, but it could be duplicated
around Boulder Dam in the south
west, Grand Coulee and Bonnie
vile dams in the northwest.
The presidents theory is that
utility companies should pool their
individual generating plants,
transmission systems with the gov
ernment's big waterpower dams
into private-public power coopera-
tives.
He invited Wendell L. Willkie,
president of the Commonwealth
and Southern Corp, and Preston
S. Arkwright, head of the Georgia
Power Co., both operating in the
iva district, to the conference.
The discussion became national
in Importance, however, when he
also asked Owen D. Young chair
man of the General Electric Co.,
Samuel Ferguson, chief officer of
the Hartford Electric Co., and
Russell C. Leffingwell, of ]. P.
Morgan and Co.
