Then the day came when each child was over whelmed in troubles, apparently of it's own making-but suddenly the mother realizes, just when the house of happiness she is building is crashing about her head, that she herself is to blame for the cal amities that have come upon them and herself
 It is then mother-love springs into battle and Miss Robson trium- phantly carries through to a smashing climax and victory.
 Preston Foster is co-featured in the role of the eldest son. Florine MacKinney, William Bakewen James Bush, Clifford Jones, Su- zanne Kaaren and others appear ir the supporting cast.
 Playing for the last times tonight is "Swellhead," story of a home run king, starring Wallace Ford Barbara Kent and Dickey Moore.

 NIGHT MESSAGE
Some Republicans and In- dependents See It as Chal-
 lenge to Old Guard

WASHINGTON, Jan 4.-Far from helping avert the breach threatened in his party, President Roosevelt's message last night was expected to have repercussions reaching into the Democratic convention and possibly into the Presidential campaign.
 There was an inclination among some Republicans and Independents to consider it in the words of Sena- tor Nye who described it as "chal- lenge to the Old Guard in the Re- publican party"
 Politicians tended to attach more significance than ever to the speech by Alfred E. Smith here January 25 at the American Liberty League din- Ener. ffs

Ken Murray
Says:

As the result of a combination
of regimented farming and
drOughts, the Federal Crop Re
porting Board forecasts that our
corn production for 1886 will be
the smallest in so years. 1t
seems the crops are so low that
even the crows are expected to
be put on relief.
All this must be very diScOn-
certing to those New Dealers
who are promising their constit-
uentS the best of everything
-. Imagine! Plenty of cream,
but no cornfIakes.
Naturally, the boys in Wash.
ingtOn feel that it's unfair to
blame them for a food shortage
due to drOughts that just hap
pened to occur during their ad.
miniStratiOn And, of course,
Hoover felt the same way about
the earthquake that just hap
pened to hit the stock market

Seems to me that the Govern

NEXT CONGRESS
TO GET PLEA
OF WORKERS
Employees Group Sees
Improved Morale If
Law Should Pass

Declaring there has been wide
spread demand for such benefit
expressed throughout the Govern
ment service, the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees
today declared it would seek re-
establishment of a civil service
board of appeals from the next
Congress.
Enactment of legislation would
be sought, it was announced, to
prevent unjust discharges and de-
motions of Government employees
who at present have no method Of
redress.
The workers. organization
stated:
"At present there is no ap-
peal for an emplOye from ad-
miniStrative action, except to
the administrative authorities
themselves, unless the emplOye
happens to be a civil service ap-
pOintee and can show ground
for the contention that his pun
iShment was based on religious,
racial or political considera-
tiOnS."
The federation pointed out that
under the old Labor Relations
Board act it was possible for Fed
eral workers to bring their griev-
ance cases before the board, but
that the present law makes it i'm
possible. Expectations that a
civil service appellate procedure
would be set up through the Pear
son bill, it was pointed out, fell
during the SeVenty-Fourth Con-
gress when the bill failed to come
to vote in either House or Senate.
The federation further con.
tended that the bill, written by
Representative Heron Pearson
CD of Tennessee, would bring an
improved morale into the Govern
ment service if it, or a similar
measure, is enacted next January.
The bills theory, it was ex-
planned, is that an employe would
be represented on the appellate
board by his attorney or union,
that the Government would be
represented by the employees ad-
mnistrative officer, with third
arbiter appointed to complete the
civil service board.

SPURNED
ON TAX STUDY

Expressing the feeling that the
District tax study which is being
made for the Commissioners "is
one which should more appropri-
ately be made by officials of the
District government" the District
Commissioner have refused the
request of Rufus Lusk, secretary
of the Washington Taxpayers
Protective Association, that "a
small number of citizens" be
named to the tax study commit
tee.
The letter of the Commissioners,
replying to Lusk's request, was
made public today. It said in
part:
"They (the Commissioners
appreciate, Of course, that a
matter of this kind is of vital
interest to the taxpaying pub
lie, and they propose to give
due regard to this interest upon
the receipt by them of any
final recommendations that
may be submitted to the Com
missiOnerS by this special tax
committee"

RUTLAND QUIZ
NOT TO AFFECT
MILK PRICE
Health Officer Says
He Will Study Only
Effect of Rules :,

Studies now being conducted
by District Health Officer George
c. Ruhland concerning the milk
industry in this area will not be
directed at determining what the
price of milk here should be, it
was intimated today.
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
"the only thing I can investigate
under the terms of the resolution
the Commissioners adopted is
whether the existing milk regula-
tionS can be held responsible for
increased milk prices"
When the Com miSSioners
ordered the investigation, however,
it was understood that its purpose
was to learn whether the local
regulations could be relaxed with
out detriment to health and in
such way as to regulate prices
in the event the producers raise
the price four cents a gallon.
DR.. Rutland revealed that
he has instructed DR.. Reid E.
AShworth, his chief assistant, to
make a hurried tour through the
Washington milkshed to get first
hand information on the teSti-
mony given by farmers early this
week when they demanded a 4
cent-a.gallon increase in the price
Of milk.
Meanwhile, Frank S. Walker,
president of the Maryland-Vir.
ginia Milk Producers Association,
secuted any idea of a possible
milk strike in this area, as has
been threatened by the producers
in the New York milkshed unless
their demands for increased prices
are met. He said:
members Of our association
are not that type Of men-we
don't do business that way"

FOOD PR|CESUP
40 PER CENT,
SURVEY FINDS
axes Doubled, Rent,
Clothing Cost Upset
Wages, Poll Shows

A general increase in the cost
of living with an increase of more
than 40 per cent in the price of
food throughout the country over
and above the depression level was
revealed today upon analysis of
Government statistics.
Although the average increase
since the spring of 1888 up to July
IA, 1886, was 40.4 per cent for all
foods, a breakdown of the sta
tiStics reveals huge increases Of
over so per cent in many of the
food items.
The largest price increase was
for eggs, which jumped 66.5 per
cent, with fats and oils running a
close second at 63.3 per cent.
Fresh fruits and vegetables rose
59.6 per cent, with meats rising
48.9.
Can Fruits Higher
Statistics from the United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics
also show that canned fruits and
vegetables were up 20.8: dried
fruits and vegetables, 25.3; dairy
products, 33.1; sugar, 1875, and
beverages and chocolate, 0.44.
The analysis shows that the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics food index
stands at the highest point since
the depression, a decline in food
prices following invalidation Of
the AAA and processing taxes in
January being only temporary.
Much higher prices for meat,
cereal, dairy products and vege-
tables are forecast before the end
of the year.
Rent Up "a Per Cent
1t it further shown from figures
of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board that the general cost
of living increased everywhere,
with rent up "a per cent; clothing,
81 per cent, and house furnish
ings, 20 per cent.
The figures also show that al
though the national income in
creased only 31.3 per cent, Federal
taxes more than doubled. Since
the fiscal year 1882, it was fur
ther revealed, taxes collected by
the Federal Government have in
creased 1854 per cent.

PARKING TEST
CASE STUDIED

A test case involving the park
ing of commercial vehicles in
other than purely commercial
zones, which will affect hundreds
of firms in the city, will be de-
cided by Judge Walter j. Casey
in Police Court this week.
The case is that of Raymond
Royal, truck driver for the Gen
eral Amusement Company, who
was given a ticket for parking
his vehicle in front of a building
partly commercial and partly
residential.
James A. Russell, counsel for
Royal, entered plea OF not guilty
and submitted brief contending
the defendant has a right to con,
duct his business without hin
drance under the zoning regula,
tions and acts.
The zoning laws forbid the park
ing of commercial vehicles in front
of apartments or dwellings except
when they are being actually
loaded or unloaded.
Depending on the decision OF
Judge casey in the test case, it
may be necessary to redraft the
zoning laws covering parking in
front of such places as are used
for both business and residential
purposes.
