DRASTIC RULES
PUT ON PILOTS

Private air pilots today were
placed under drastic regulations
by the Bureau of Air Commerce,
drawn by Director Fred D. Fagg.
jr., in an effort to cut down the
number of deaths and accidents.
Two sets of rules were put in
effect today, dependent upon
weather conditions.
Only those pilots who can fly
a plane by instruments will be
allowed to fly in bad weather, pro-
Viding their plane is equipped with
a two-way radio. Pilots not en-
gagged in commercial flying can
not take off if planes are not
equipped with navigating instru-
ments, unless there is three-mile
visibility.

Saved BY Knife
Girl Better After
Rare Operation

Medical science in Washington
today had scored a new triumph
and, as a result, nine-year-old Rosa
Panholzer of Sis M st. S. W., is
alive with a good chance Of regain
ing her health.
On October 18 a staff physician
at Gallinger Hospital tentatively
diagnosed Rosa'S malady as an
unusual type of liver abscess which
is rarely seen in a child so young,
according to medical authorities.
So delicate was the operation
necessary to remove the abScess.
however, that doctors had to wait
until last Friday to perform It.
The slightest slip would have
meant to Rosa, the daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul UanholZer, but
everything went nicely and Rosa
is alive and happy today.
The cause of the absceSs is one
thing about which the doctors still
are puzzled. Usually such a malady
occurs as a result of a ruptured
appendix or an infection Of the
heart valves, but neither could
be found in this case.

GET $500
IN H0LDUP

Two robbers, armed with re-
volverS, we're being sought by police
today following the holdup of a
drug store at 1929 K st. N. W..
last night, in which they escaped
with almost $500.
The thugs first hailed a taxicab
at Thirteenth and Z Streets North
west and at the point of a pistol
forced the driver, Harvey SAINT
mier, to drive them to the drug
store.
There they forced the driver into
the store ahead of them. Draw
ing their guns, they ordered seven
customers and clerks to hold up
their hands, and robbed them all.
William Glow, a clerk who lives
in Arlington, asked the thugs to
give him carfare so he could get
home, and one of the men handed
him back some change. They then
forced the driver to take them
from the scene, and later fled
from the cab.

Ferdinand DOrr First 1887 Auto Victim
Governors of 20
States Coming to
Inauguration

Although only 20 governors
have so far accepted invitations
to attend the second Inauguration
committee today predicted that
the number of governors at the
1887 ceremonies will be greater
than in 1888.
Many more governors are ex-
pected to reply favorably to The
invitations within the next few
days, it was explained, while few
may come to Washington without
formally notifying the committee.
At the first Inauguration of
President Roosevelt, 81 governors
appeared in the parade and at the
rites in front of the Capitol build
ing. Preparations are being made
by the committee to accommodate
an even greater number on Feb
ruary 20, when Washington will
lead the nation in honoring the
new deal" chief executive.
All-Military Parade
Each governor will be asked to
appear in the 1887 parade in an
automobile. One care will be
provided for each governor and
three cars for his staff.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the committee is proceeding with
its plans for the procession on
the basis suggested by Mr.. RooSe-
welt, which was that the parade
should be simple and confined
entirely to military units from
the regular United States armed
forces.
Therefore it is probable, mem
bers of the committee said, that
the present plans to eliminate
Army, Navy and Marine Corps re-
serves, as well as the National
Guard, will be carried out.
GraysOn Staff Busy
The staff handling details of the
inaugural, under the direction Of
Admiral Carey T. Grayson, con-
tinued to work today at the Dis
trict Building, although all
branches of the government are
officially closed.
More activity was manifested in
the District Building than in most
other Federal buildings, since sew
eral offices Of the District govern
ment also appeared for work.

CHANGE IN TAXI
RULESF0RD.C.
FORECAST
PUG to Ask Congress
For New Legislation
To Improve Traffic

Compulsory liability insurance
for taxi drivers, reduction of the
number of cabs and elimination
of restrictions against meter rates
loomed in the Capital today as
the Public Utilities Commission
prepared to ask Congress to push
through legislation embodying
these three points, in an effort
to improve the Washington taxi
cab situation.
According to Riley E. Elgen,
chairman of the commission, the
insurance phase of the recommen-
dationS may result in an increase
of about five cents in zone scales.
The elimination of restrictions
against meter rates is called for,
Elgen pointed out, only because
such restrictions are unnecessary.
It would not mean a change from
the zone to the meter systems.
Changes in the personnel of the
District appropriations Subcom-
mittee are believed at the DiStricC
Building to insure passage of the
commissions recommendations.
This belief is bolstered by the
known attitude of members of the
House and Senate District Com
mittee favoring the proposals.
Restrictions against the meter
system were sponsored by Repre-
sentatives Cannon of Missouri and
Tom Blanton of Texas, both of
whom are no longer on the sub
committee. The ban has been
included in the District supply bill
every year since 1882.
Riley declared the commission
should not be hampered by the
unnecessary restriction. but added
that there isn't a chance that the
zoning system will be abandoned.

THREE AREAS

BOYS CLUBS
Shifting Population

Statement of Secretary of
Interior Harold L. IckeS:
"The growth of interest in
the welfare of under.privi-
legged, children is already be-
ginning to produce beneficial
results. The Washington
Boys Clubs have long given
ample and valid proof of
their usefulness as inStru-
mentS to fashion better citi-
ZenS.
"The erection of a new
club house in the southeast
section will spur on those citi.
zens who have unSelfiShly
worked for the ameliOratiOn
of conditions in that section.
And it will encourage hun
dredS of youngsters in other
areas in their desire for
wholesome recreatiOnal and
social centers.
ut is my hope that this
club house will be the first
of a series of similar institu-
tiOnS designed to enrich the
lives of children of the poorer
districts, to equalize their Op-
pOrtunities and to endOw fu-
ture generations with higher
ideals of citizenship"

2 Soldiers Injured

Says:

Those airplane shippers In
New Jersey certainly stirred up
a hornets nest when, against
President ROoSevelt's wishes,
they obtained a license to ship
second hand planes to the Red
government in Spain . Iron
icalIy enough while F. D. r. has
been doing his best to sell the
dove of peace in Europe, some
body dOuble-crossed him and
sends war birds.
One thing about those mu-
nitions dealers Is that they
don't necessarily sell to the
force on the side of justice. No
sir! With those boys the Gus
toner is always right.
You can very well imagine
how much destruction can be
caused by used planes when you
read every day about the dam
age done by the secondhand
cars.
Oh, well, as long as the Span

Three areas are in immediate
need of white boys clubs and five
areas have urgent need of colored
boys clubs, Charles M. Fyfe,
managing director of the Boys
Club of Washington, revealed
today.
The needs of the white boys, he
declared are centered in the com
mercial area of Washington, in
which the present club at Third
and C Street Northwest, should
be relocated in a sector further
north so that it will more ade-
quately serve the most concen-
trated boy population area.
At one time the C Street loca-
alton was the center of a large
lower residential area and was an
ideal center for recreation. The
development of the Federal Tri-
angle, with its attendant shift
of residential quarters has depopu-
lated the area.
Is NOW OVerCaXeu
Second focal point of need is
in the Georgetown area, where
the Georgetown Boys Club is
severely overtaxed to provide club
facilities for one-half of the boys
who should have an adequate club
at their disposal.
The Boys Club of Georgetown
should be able to accommodate
approximately 1900, and provide
for this number facilities of a
modern, well-equipped club, Mr..
Fyfe pointed out.
The third white area Of imme-
diate need is that in the Columbia
Heights section, with a radius
extending as far north as Spring
Road and as far south as S
Street Northwest.
There are approximately 4,500
boys from the ages of 7 to 18
years living in the area, and at
present the only boys club service
of any type that is provided is
the Boy Scouts activity.
It is estimated that 1000 boys
are without any boys club faciI-
tiles of any kind, and studies
made of the area conclude that
a club which would accommodate
from 1000 to $500 boys should
be built.
The clubs in these needy areas,
Director Fyfe pointed out should
be as complete as that which will
be built at Seventeenth and Massa-
chusetts Avenue Southeast.
The Southeast club will be
equipped with a health clinic for

ZOO DEER DIE
OF FD0GFEAR

Charges of intoxication were to
be pressed today against a
woman and a taxicab driver,
alleged by police to have taken
two Chow dogs into the National
Geological Park. The dogs were
held responsible for the death of
two Virginia white tailed deer.
The dogs, barred from the Zoo
by regulations, are said by police
to have crawled, yesterday, under
a fence around an enclosure hold
ing five deer. Frightened, the
deer rushed madly about, two
finally dying of fear.
Police said the dogs were
brought into the Zoo by Mrs.
Lillian Thompson, 1882 Biltmore
