trict's relief program decreased
$55,025, or % per cent, last
month when compared with No
vember, 1895, Relief Director M.

monthly report to Welfare Direc-
tor Elwood Street.
Miss Hill reported that all
types of relief, except work relief,
last month, totaled SITS cases,
and expenditures amounted to
$751; ,269. The report did not
make a comparison of the num-
ber of cases carried in Novem-
ber, 1885, since there was no
breakdown into the various relief
types a year ago, but stated that
the expenses totaled $236,294.
Since last November direct re.
lief has been curtailed to persons
in the unemployable class, while
certain forms of the social security
program this year has taken a
number of the cases off the general
relief rolls.
The report detailed last months
cases and expenses as follows: aid
to dependent children, 1893 cases,
$40 9,227; home care, 261 cases, $16,-
1874; old-age assistance, LIZA
cases, $29, 9,629; needy blind asSis-
tance. "a cases, $2,013 and direct
relief, 1854 cases, $83,616.
On direct relief for the month,
the report stated, were 1926 cases,
representing 1880 individuals, in
addition to 1888 individuals. The
average budget per case was
$26.43 and $12.83 per individual.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 18 UN.
s.. President Glenn Frank, of
the University of Wisconsin, is GER
tain to be dismissed, but his re-
moval will not come for about six
weeks, it was predicted today by
a high spokesman for Governor
Philip F. La Follette's administra'
ton.
This word came as DR.. Frank
and Governor La Toilette faced
each other in a routine confer
ence, with no outward evidence
of the fight over the presidency
of the university, which broke
into the open yesterday.
Opponents Hold Edge
At that time the Board OF Re
gents, controlled by the Governor,
heard lengthy charges accusing
DR.. Frank of "mismanagement"
and voted to give him a public
hearing on the indictment.
His stay at the university will
be ended, public hearing or no
public hearing" the informant
said. The hearing may not be-
gin until after January /, but
there now is an eight to seven
lineup in the Board of Regents
against DR.. Frank.
To Fill Vacancies
On February 1, 1887, Gov. La
Toilette will fill three places on
the university regents board. Two,
Chairman Harold M. Wilkie,
Madison, and Roy Baker, jr.,
Kenosha, have been anti-Frank in
the custer move, so their re-
appointment is anticipated.
The third appointment is to
succeed DR.. Gunnar Gunderson,
La Crosse, who though a pro-
gressive, has sided with DR.. Frank.
It is believed certain Gov. La Fol
lette will dismiss him.

$500 children were temporarily
absent because of illness. The
total number of absentees for the
year was 10000.
Keeping track of the child who
is still in school is comparatively
easy. But watching the working
child, who is still of school age,
is something else again, Mrs. Shell
don said.
For instance, girls under 18 are
not permitted to work in barbecue
shops because of the night hours;
promotion from bundle wrapper
to elevator operator just can't be
done-unless the employe is 10,
because minors are not permitted
to run elevators; sometimes
Johnny gets a job delivering gro
ceries after school hours, only. to
find he needs a work permit and
that he can only work a certain
number of hours, anyway. Those
pale, undernouriShed urchin S
working long and late are no
more-the school authorities won't
permit it. Furthermore, they in
vestigate their charges surround
ingS, and if they find conditions
undesirable they must be changed
or the child is ordered to quit
work.

Parks Equipped
In a letter addressed to the

facilities available in the local

benches are available at all times.
Reservations for definite time

In the above park areas and
at Jessup Blair Park, Takoma
Park, Garrett Park and Kensing-
ton Fairgrounds, surfaced tennis
courts, playfields with all kinds
of equipment to amuse the chill
dren are available at any time
the weather will permit.
At JesSup Blair Park. IN Silver
Spring, a large Community House
which contains the public library,
is maintained and is available on
request for holding public meet
ingS. In addition to this an out
door Council Ring has been con-
structed on the large park
grounds. This is also available If
reservations are made in time,
Mr.. Allen said.
Park Vast Size
Montgomery countyS extensive
park system, which is still in the
development stage in many Sec
tions, is fast becoming one of
great size and beauty, Mr.. Allen
declared and should be more
frequented by county residents.
Rock Creek Park. which is the
largest park area in the county,
now connects with Washington
Rock Greek Park at the District
line and extends through Mont
gomery county to Connecticut
Avenue near Kensington Plans
and surveys are now being made
for the third unit of this area
which when completed will ex.
tend the park to Garrett Park

Urging that the recent Public
Utilities Commission public hear
ing on the Capital Transit Com
pany's application to expand its

Gated, the Federation of Citizens
Association today filed a brief
with the Commission.
Through William NICK. Clay,
ton, veteran chairman of the

mittee, the brief attacked the
action of Richmond B. Keech,
commission vice chairman, in
conducting the hearing alone,
at a time when Chairman Riley
E. Elgin was i'll and Col. Dan
I. Sultan, Engineer Commissioner,
was on vacation.
Citing sections of the commits,
sion's organic act, Mr.. Clayton
commended that a majority of the
commission" was necessary to dc
business under terms of the act,
He argued:
''NO imminent emergency ex-
listed in the One-man car case.
The application of the company
had gathered dust for many
months in the files of the COM
mission, had rested there
throughout the life of a session
of Congress and was called in
midsummer when both Congress
and the courts were in adjourn
ment, the honorable chairman
of the commission ill and the
Engineer Commissioner on va
cation"
Mr.. Clayton commended that
justice could not be served by one
Commissioner alone sitting in the
case where witnesses were brought
thousands of miles to testify, rep
resentative of 100000 organized
residents of the District were
croSsexamined and where mo-
tions to strike at the heart of the
matter under hearing were submit
ted and acted upon"

ton to add 20 secondhand and 20
