Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Judge Curron Pushes Behavior
Clinics; Americonizing the District
The Bureau of Reha bilitation

Inc bureau OF Reh0D1llt4t1On
Needs Increased Facilities.
The Bureau of Rehabilitation is
q social service agency member
Of the Community Chest and an
afnhate of the Council of Social
Agencies. It's community Job Is
to endeavor to aid in the return
Of prisoners to become useful,
law-abiding members of society.
Its work appears to dovetail nat
urally into the work of the pro-
posed behavior clinic.
To work effectively the bureau
should be in a position to do con-
siderable case work. This would
include a complete study of all
of the elements which Judge Cur
ran points out as necessary in the
case of the behavior clinic.
Prisoners should be contacted
before the expiration of their
terms and an interest should be
maintained In them after their
release. Every effort should be
made to direct these men and
women along right lines and
away from conditions which
would incline them to return to
evil ways.
With the limited funds avail
able for this important work
little can be done, though the
need to the community for this
activity is clearly apparent. Case
workers to be of value in such
work must be trained and ex-
perienced and must be available
for such work at all times. Vol
untary workers cannot do this
work, so a paid personnel is re-
quired. 1t is doubtful If the
budget Of the Community Chest
will permit making more funds
available at this time for the ex-
tension of this work.
At recent meeting of the Cor
rections Committee of the Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies it was sug-
gested that, as a logical solution
OF this financial problem. an ap-
peal be made to Congress to make
available for this work a portion
of the half a million dollars COL
lected annually in fines by the
Police Court. It was claimed that
effective and thorough rehabilita-
ton work would eventually re-
suit in saving to the District
through cutting down the repeat
ers and would reduce many losses
which the public has to bear by
reason of offenses committed.
Some of our civic workers are
making a study of this problem
and are anxious that there may
be a general interest aroused.

Activities For Year Ahea(

In response to a call issued by
President VIM. v. Little, of Key
West Rotary Club, committee
chairmen of the club met last
night in the rooms Of the Cham
Der of Commerce for the purpose
of considering activities for the
coming year.
Chairmen of the several COM
mittees who attended the meet
ing were Rev. John c. Gekeler.
Everett Russell. Ben D. Trevor,
Norman Lowe, w. w. Demeritt,
Bascom E Groorns and Chas e.
Smith.
After a very interesting dis
cussion on a number of matters,
it was the consensus of opinion
that Boy Scout organizations,
furnishing of lunches to under
nourished school children, main
tenance of the School Safety
Patrols and an effort to secure
coordination with other civic
clubs, especially in connection
with work among the boys,
merited attention.
The meeting was not a lengthy
one and at the close it was an
nounced that another will be held
at a later date to forther discuss
these important matters, and
others which will be brought be-
fore the body.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Am
nouncement was made today by
officials at the White House that
President Roosevelt would make
the new Hatch Bill law by sig
nature within the next forty-eight
hours.
Study of the bill, which is de-
signed to divorce politics from
all federal working classes, by
various departments of the gov
eminent, mas been underway for
the past four days.
The feasibility of the bilrs en-
fnrcement possibilities was es.
pecially considered, the opinion
being that loopholes existed
whereby politicians could still
carry on patronage policies.
Other comments on the bill, as
it nears law, were that it would
remove patronage from the fed
eral pictilrea but would tend &c
strengthen the same practice If
the different states. In other
words, state governors would adj
vance to stronger political posi-
ton than u. S. senators as a re.
suit of the features embodied in
the Hatch bill.

DELINQUENT TAX
| LIST PUBLISHED
|. AGAIN YESTERDAY
FOURTH AND FINAL PUB
LEGATION: ADVERTISED BY
COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR
r. II. LADD

An advertisement Of Tax Col
lector Frank H. Ladd, for the
county, appeared yesterday in
The Citizen for the fourth con-
secutive week, announcing the
sale Of property for delinquent
taxes at the County Court House
at noon August 4, 1899.
Mr., Ladd said today he had
every reason to believe that
owners of most of the property
advertised would not permit Of
their holdings being sold, If they
were cognizant of the fact that
the property was being adver-
tised for sale.
There are a number of home
steads among the advertised
property which. though exempt
from taxation, still have small
amount placed on the property
because of court order and the
necessity Of adding the two mills
required to make the property
free.
Mr.. Ladd said that the amount
in practically every instance is
very small. and would cost but
little if the taxes were paid be-
fore the property came up for
sale. But If left to be sold, the
amount to be paid would be APP
proximately four times as much
as the assessment and advised all
owners Of property, especially
homesteads, to see II their homes
are not listed.

No WPA Rolls IN Florida
To Be Cut During Months
Of August And September
Opposition To Peace
Attitude Voted Down
snv Associated pres.,


LONDON. Aug. Opposition
to the peace attitude followed
by Prime Minister Chamberlain
was rampant today in parlia-
ment, and was only stomped
down, at least temporarily, by a
quick vote of confidence given
the minister. Opposition cen
tered around disbelief of Cham
berlain's intentions in sending
delegates to Moscow for confer
ences on the triple alliance.
The vote of confidence defeats
the opposition move to keep par
lament in session until an agree
ment with Russia has been
reached, and adjournment until
fall will probably come this
weekend. Much dissatisfaction
has been manifested in Cham
berlain's continued appeasement
program, although the Prime
Minister has repeatedly of late
stated that he will continue to
exert all possible effort at show
ings of strength in handling any
situations that may come UP.
It is known, however. that
Chamberlain is extremely de-
sirous that no war will come this
summer, Then, it is stated, he
intends to call for general cleo
tons next fall and head a peace
party at that time.
Tension in internal Europe de-
veloyed today when it was re-
ported that fighting between Ru-
manian and Hungarian troops had
been going on for the past two
days along the boundary line of
these two countries. As a re-
suit of this fighting, trade talks
of current moment, have been
broken off, and diplomatic moves
are being considered.
Germany has been negotiating
with Hungary recently with trade
concession proposals in return for
permission to cross Hungarian
territory in case of war declara-
ton against Rumania. Rumania,
on the other hand, recently COM
pleted trade agreements with
Great Britain, and has repeatedly
been guaranteed the alliance of
that country in case of any
aggressive move made by the
axis powers.
On the 25th anniversary of the
starting of the World War, there
are over 100000 men under
arms in Europe today more than
twice as many as were under
arms in August of 1914. This
fact BODIED no good for the imme-
diate future of Europe's peace
hopes in the opinion of many for
eign statesmen, in commenting
on observation of the anniversary
date.
