At this time Brooklyn is the center
of much attention. 1t is custom for
this colorful borough to have widely
enthusiastic mention, but with pros
poets for the Dodgers baseball team
winning a national pennant, as bright
as a glowing jaek-o'-lantern. this
interest is highly magnificd. For rost
Rrooklynites, Manhattan mas become
q mere athletic suburb. Only the
loss Of the coveted championship
could elevate this opinion.
-oOo-
Baseball is only one thing Brook
lyn is noted for. Since the Battle Of
Long Island in which George Wash
ington's troops had a hard time
staying within the city limits, this
section of New York across the East
River has been famous, The g~efsral's
forces were than teamed against Bri-
tain. Now,seach day from the docks
of Brooklyn heavily loaded freigh-
tiers put out to sea with supplies for
that beleaguercd Isle. Many national
defense factories hum day and night
here, with workers taking only short
periods off to discuss their beloved
Dodgers. 1t dawned on me as | sat
in the back yard of a friend, George
Welch, there the other night. tina,
Brooklvn is New York's small town
section. Pretty green trees lined the
fence of this quietly peaceful yard.
a pleasant street light blinked nearby
and the soft lamps from n~eighbors'
houses brought vivid reminders Of
that grandest of places, the old
home town. For residential Brooklyn
is q series of small towns linked to-
gether. And although its 5000, 600
peon'e make it the largest voting
district in America, George Welch
can call across his back yard to his
neighbor, address him by his first
name and feel that nearby he has
friends.

Hoffman and F. v. Waugh of the Bureau OF

not more than a dime represents net profits
for everyone between you and the producer.
With the rest going for actual costs, they
point out. increased marketing efficiency
seems to offer the only solution to keeping
prices from going higher than absolutely
necessary. Most encouraging development in
this direction lis the trend toward direct
marketing such as the selling of livestock
direct to meat packers, and the sale of fruits
and vegetables by growers to chain store
systems" these experts say. With some of the
most costly marketing links standing be-
tween the professor and retailer, Key to
many of the advantages possessed by the
chains, both corporate and cooperative, lies
in the fact that they have dropped some of
these links with the result that stocks reach
consumers with fewer bargaining transac-

House after the House committee
had approved it. While this calls
for an advance of $4,000 by the Dis
trict, it will become a revolving fund
and does not add to the total of
expenditures.
Other administrative provisions
added to the bill are:
Authorizing Brig. Gen Albert l..
Cox, commander of the National
Guard, to receive compensation as
State director of the Selective Serv-
ice Act here.
Transferring automobile parking
meter fees, amounting to about $36,-
900 year, from the general fund
to the motor vehicle highway fund.
Grace Period on Taxes.
Because the bill is so late in pass
ing, it carries a provision authorizing
so days of grace, if necessary. in
payment of taxes due in September.
The extension is needed to give the
assessors Office time to prepare the
bills, but it may be fixed by the Com
missioners at 30 instead of so days.
Senator Overton will call the bill
up in the Senate at the first oppor-
tunity, between now and Saturday.
AS previously announced, it gives
the Police Department SO more men
instead of 81 in the House bill, and
directs that four of them shall be ace
detectives at $500 a year each.
To help provide for families Of
men who may not find work after
being dropped from w. P. A. the bill
makes the following welfare in
creaseS; for public assistance, direct
relief 100000 additional: for home
care of dependent children, $4,000
more, and for old-age assistance,
s25 900.
Library Fund Boosted.
The free Public Library was given
S35 900 instead of s25, 900 for its
binding fund, and the House item
of $4,000 to buy a site for an Ana
costa branch library was increased
from s25 1000 to $50 ,O0O
The Senate committee wrote into
the bill direction that, after Sep
tember Is, the National Training
School for Girls on Conduit road be
used exclusively for colored inmates.
After hearing testimony that there
are only seven white girls in the in
stitution now, the committee allotted
$4,000 to enable the Welfare Board
to make provision for them else

The major change in the highway
fund, financed separately from gas
oline taxes, was restoration of $780,
900 to make plans for the proposed
new bridge across the Anacostia
River, near South Capitol and P
streets. Since this would open up
an artery to Boiling Field. the Naval
Air Station and Indianhead, District
officials are hoping funds to build it
may come from the national defense
highway fund.
In addition to SO more men. the
Police Department is given $4,000
instead of $4,000 to equip scout cars
with two-way radio.
The police also were given $1,000
to buy two combination scout car

explained to the men that the study
of the Police Department which the
Commissioners are preparing to
make was not aimed at digging UP
anything "scandalous."
Rather, he said, the Investigators
hoped to find out the needs of the
department, what improvements
could be made in its administration
and how the working conditions OF
the policemen could be improved.
He suggested that a. raise in pay
for men in the Detective Bureau
would be good thing and said

robbing another.
Police squads raided poolrooms,
beer hall and other hangouts in

all would be questioned during the
| day.

tigation, another squad of 20 as
signed to the attack and robbery

was able to establish the truth of
his alibi. that he was several hum
dred miles from Washington at the
time the girl was killed.
GAINESVILLE police had arrested the
transient after he had been heard
babbling about the case. His hand
was bandaged and showed marks of
human teeth and he had other in
Juries which he could not explain.
The special squad of 25 detectives

had entered the store. forced her
into back room and criminally as
saulted her.
Yesterday man answering the

parently had intended to attack her,
