While the District is urging its
citizens to save paper and rags. the
District itself is burning up more
salvageable goods in day than a
householder could save in years.
The District contends-and it's
contention is backed up by War
Production Board and District Salv-
age Committee officials-that doing
its own salvaging would be too ex-
pensive in men and materials.
In addition, City Refuse Depart

that might be salvaged is contain.

Lodge Takes Oath
For New Term as
4. B. {. Chairman
Commissioner Young
Refroins From Signing
Appointment Order

Thomas E. Lodge was sworn in
today to his second term as chair
man of the District Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board, which begins
tomorrow.
His reappointment was announced
yesterday by the Commissioners, but
was not unanimous Commissioner
Young refrained from signing the
order. The post pays 5000 an
nually and the term is four years.
Earlier it was disclosed that Com
missioner Mason. Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Vernon West and Mr..
Lodge will Immediately begin work
on regulations designed to tighten
control Of the liquor board over
granting Of rebates in the liquor
industry. An amendment to the
basic Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act also will be drafted to compel
liquor retailers to buy through
wholesalers and not directly from
distilleries. Commissioner Mac
explained that the amendment will,
prevent distillers from marketing
the same liquor under different la
bels and at different prices here.
Recommended by Mason.
Mr.. Lodge, 43-year -old civic lead
er from American University Park
and former president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, was
criticized recently by Mr.. Mason for
accepting free drinks from certain
licensees in several instances. MIR.
Mason. however. recommended the
reappointment after a study of Mr..
Lodges record as chairman of the
board during the past three years.
The A. B. c. Board is one of the
District departments under Mr..
Mason.
Asked about his earlier criticism
of Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Mason said ac-
ceptance Of drinks was "indiscreet."
In connection with another pub
lished charge that the liquor board
chairman had represented one
liquor hcensee against another in a
legal case, the Commissioner de-
clared the incident had nothing to
do with liquor administration.
TT involved . rent or repair mat
ter" he. said. ~ -
Lodge Explains.
Mr.. Lodge had admitted both
charges, but corltended there was
nothing wrong with the business
transaction since it was done on
his own time and involved no liquor
affairs. He said he had accepted .
limited number of invitations to
opening nights" of licensees be-
cause there was precedent for it,
but added that If there was any
question of propriety, he certainly
would not do so again.
The liquor board chairman re-
ceived the Endorsements of about
"a dozen Senators and 20 Rep
resentatives, according to Commis-
sioner Mason, in addition to the
support of the Methodist ministers
of the Capital and several other
clergymen.

Over Senate Favored
As Raid Precaution
, Committee Proposes
Other Meeting PIoee
During Alterations

The Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and grounds today favor
ably reported two bills. One would
authorize the architect of the Capt.
tol to put new roof over the Sen
ate chamber and the other .au-
thorizes the acquisition Of land for
a testing laboratory for the Bureau
Of Public Roads.
More than q year ago new roofs
for both the Senate and House
chambers were authorized, but dur
ing the emergency roofs were shored
up Temporarily awaiting the time
when Congress would be taking .
long vacation. -'.
Would Meet Elsewhere.
The Senate committee now feels
that with air raids imminent the
present Senate roof is a hazard and
recommends that a new steel plate
roof be built as soon as possible, and
that the Senate ceiling be acousti-
cally treated in replacement Of the
present glass roof The committee
advised that materials could be as
sembled between now and July I,
and that the Senate after that date
could meet elsewhere temporarily
and would be able to move into the
newly decorated Senate chamber
about the first of the year. Indirect
lighting and plush seats in the gal
lery are recommended as part of the
Improvements.
Approprh tions Made.
Appropriations were approved in
1910 to a total Of $585 900 for put
ting new roofs over both the House
and Senate. OF this amount s274, 900
was for the roof over the Senate
chamber. The committee now rec
ommends an additional $134 500 for
the Senate roof; $8.140 for new
lights in the Senate once Building
and 1900 for new lights in the Sen
ate Library.
The acquisition of IS acres Of land
in Virginia above Chain Bridge for
. testing laboratory for the Bureau
Of Public Roads was recommended
for prompt consideration. The Bu-
reau of Public Roads had such .
laboratory at the Washington Air
port which has now been taken away
from them.

He opened his mouth to shout, and

Terry had plunged forward, his

Hart went down, and Terry was on

his hairy throat to prevent an

His ecstasy amazed him. He had
counted himself hard man, cyni-
cal, not given to sentiment. Yet a
girl with a wind-blown skirt had
crossed his path and changed the
world for him. He thought, with a
smile, of the verse Of the hymn he

The Newark and Ohio State

Newark last Sunday, and for

some other Pharis lads that he
could ride a bicycle from the
