The only major exception was the
failure of the Washington pros to
click with local fans in their first,
and no doubt last. year in the South
Atlantic Foot Ball League.
Although the pros produced crack

indifference to their brand of foot
ball. With the announcement that
the Boston Redskins will make Wash
ington their home next year, 1t Is
likely the pros will disband or move
their franchise elsewhere.
Coached early in the year by Willis
Benner, former Maryland end, and
tutored later by Gene Augusterfer,

pros produced a successful team.

charm of princess frocks ac-
counts for their undiminished
popularity and appeal for those
who sew, and this one will make
an instant hit with the mothers
of growing daughters as well as
with the daughters themselves.
Slightly fitted at the waist to ac-
cent the mild flare of the skirt,
this. pretty and petite princess
model goes together like a
charm, the result of a minimum
of effort and expense. Puff
sleeves, a contrasting Peter Pan

the picture.

her own fabric printed mus

dismissed all her maids and turned

which held Davis biggest note; and
she sold everything she possessed that
would fetch a price--except her en-

So the girl whom her father had al

home to his house, with her babies

him best of Agnes friends, and now
he WAS doing business with Jeb; 70.
Bob badly needed some new financ-

In the boxes near the dugout sat
baseball's veterans, hands gnarled
By many a foul tip or hard-sped
grounder, clasped tightly in their
laps. Some Of them still are in their
prime as life is reckoned in most
businesses. Others were taking a
belated grateful glimpse Of pa

which never fades from those who

SIX LOCAL BILLS
G|VEN0. K.

Six local measures were ap-
proved today by the House Dis
trict Committee.
One is the proposal to place the
uniform narcotic act in effect in
the District, thereby tightening
the restrictions on the sale Of mar
cotics here.
Another authorizes central
heating plant to furnish steam for
the buildings of the District in
Judiciary Square. while still an
other is designed to codify the
local laws relative to the sale of
merchandise.
Authority also was given to
place wrestling in the District
under the supervision of the Box
ing Commission. Representative
William Schultz CD of Indiana
is author of this measure.
The committee also approved
legislation to increase the amount
which the District may appropri-
ate for vocational rehabilitation
work from $4,000 to $4,000.
The other proposition approved
today would permit streets in the
Mall to be given the names of In
diana, Maine, Missouri and Okla

P. j. {. INVITES
LAWSUIT0VER
BUS ROUTE
William A. Roberts Is
Urged to Make Good
His Threat

The Public Utilities Commission
today invited Peoples Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts to carry out his
latest threat and enter suit against
the commission in District Su-
preme Court over its refusal to
change the routing of the bus line
on Monroe Street Northeast.
On three past occasions in util-
ity problem wrangleS with the COM
mission, Mr.. Roberts threatened to
bring a court action, but none was
ever filed.
Mr.. Roberts said today that
residents of Monroe Street North
east had asked him to bring suit
against the commission to force
another public hearing on the bus
rerouting problem.
Request Made in 1881
His action would be in the form
of an appeal from the recent
order of the commission, declin-
ing to grant the hearing. The re-
quest for Monroe Street bus re-
routing dates back to 1881. when
a group of residents urged that
west bound buses of the Brook
land-Woodridge line be routed over
some other street than Monroe
Street. This precipitated a
neighborhood row with residents
of both Newton and Lawrence
Streets protesting against routing
the buses over their respective
thoroughfares.
The commission denied the pc
tition and another request for
hearing was filed last July. The
hearing was held in october and
the commission turned down the
request. Traffic authorities APP
peared at the hearings and de-
clared the two-way bus operations
did not create a traffic hazard
Last March, the Monroe Street
residents again sought a hearing
on the same problem and the COM
mission reaffirmed its previous
stand. On May IL, Mr.. Roberts
filed a petition for a hearing and
this was denied.
Petition Held Too Late
Vice Chairman Richmond B.
Keech, speaking for the commits
sion, pointed out that Mr.. Rob-
erts' petition was rejected because
he was not within provisions of
the new appeals act which ap-
plies to rulings of the commission.
Mr.. Keech said this statute pro-
vides that after a ruling of the
commission. a petition for rehear-
ing must be filed within 30 days
after the commission'5 ruling. He
pointed out that Mr.. Roberts pc
tition came too late. Mr.. Keech
concluded with the statement:
"Any number of persons may
differ with the commission on
its rulings and each has his re-
course to the courts. We invite
Mr.. Roberts to have his day in
court in this case especially"

COMPROMISE
ON D. E. BILL
IS SOUGHT
Boost in Both Lump
Sum- and Taxes
Proposed

Differences of opinion as to
how much ground they will yield
to the Senate conferees in the
battle over the District appro'
priations bill were expressed to-
day by individual House mana
gers.
One House conferee revealed
that he may propose at the
next conference session that the
House agree to the Senate pro
vision placing the Federal con-
tribution at $5,700,000 on condi-
ton that the Senate approve a
rider increasing the District tax
rate from $3.50 per hundred to
$1.70.
Chairman Objects
However, when the chairman
of the House group was asked if
he would support this proposal,
he expressed emphatically in the
negative, asserting:
81 would not agree to the
S5,7OO,OOO figure even If the
tax rate were to be increased
500 per cent"
The member suggesting that
such a compromise be placed be-
fore the confereeS limited that he
is virtually certain that the Sen
ate conferees will remain immov'
able on their $5,700,000 provision.
He appeared to be of the belief
that unless some compromise such
as the one he proposed can be
reached, there will be no District
bill this session. in which case a
continuing resolution would be
necessary. and it is felt that If this
is necessary the same fight will be
faced.
President May Decide
On the other hand, however,
those close to the situation have
reasoned that if it became neceS-
sary to put through a continuing
resolution and the two Houses get
Into the same argument over the
amount of the Federal contribu-
ton, the President will be asked
to settle the dispute and he will
decide with the Senate since his
budget message recommended the
$4,000 figure without a tax in
crease.
In an effort to make it appear
that the House would back him to
the limit in his. determination to
keep the Federal contribution fig
ure at $2,700,000, the chairman of
the House conferees declared:
II know what I'm talking
about, that if the proposition
was put up to the entire House,
three-quarterS of the member
ship would vote to eliminate all
the Federal contribution"
