Woman, "a, Injured
On Mile O Dimes Trip

The enthusiasm Mrs. Margaret "
Adams, "a, of GOT Seventh street
S.W, had for the Mile O. Dimes cam
paign indirectly has led to her hos
pitalization with a fractured hip.
Mrs. Adams suffered the hip frac-
ture Saturday when she was acci-
dentally knocked down by a soldier
on 9 streetcar loading platform at
Seventh and F streets NV. while
returning from her yearly visit to
the Mile O. Dimes stand in front of
the Capitol Theater.
Despite her age, Mrs. Adams each
year scouts around her neighbor-
hood to see who has visited the
stand and who hasn't. Saturday
she rounded up 10 dimes and rode
to the Mile O. Dimes stand to de-
posit her neighbors' contributions
in addition to her own.
Mrs. Adams, who lives with her
daughter, Mrs. jamie F. Conrad, at
the Seventh street address, was
taken to Doctors Hospital after the
accident.
Her first concern after the mishap
was over the soldier. II hope he
doesn't feel too badly about this, "
she said. 1T was just an accident"
Then she smiled. IF this had to
happen, I'm glad that it happened
after visited the Mile o Dimes
stand" she said.

.ABC Board AbsoIves
Licensed Places in
Minors |ntoxication
None Of II Cases Known
To Involve District
Seller, Records Show

Members of the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board, commenting on
reports that II minors were arrested
last year for intoxication in public
places. said today that they could
not remember a case in which a
minor was arrested for drunken
ness in a licensed liquor establish
ment
Members of the board pointed
out that when minors are arrested
for intoXication, either on the street,
in boarding houses or other public
places, it is difficult and frequently
impossible to trace the source of
the liquor.
Over the week end, Chairman
ID'Alesandro of the House District
subcommittee investigating juvenile
delinquency, declared that it seemed
to him that with IT minors ar
rested in public places spread on
the police record there should have
been II cases brought before the
ABC Board looking for action for
revocation"
Since May, 1941, the records of the
ABC board show that 81 cases of
minors arrested for intoxication
had been referred to the board by
police for consideration, but none
of these cases involved an arrest in
a licensed place, board members
said.
Chairman Thomas E. Lodge of the
ABC board cited two cases as typ
ical of the difficulties that confront
them and make it hard to trace the
source of liquor.
A case referred to the ABC Board
Saturday involved 17-year-old
boy who had run away from the
Blue Plains Industrial Home.
Picked up for intoxication, the youth
pulled out a bottle of denatured
alhocol while in the partol wagon
and told police that he had been
drinking with a man at the latter's
home.
The ohter case, which occurred in
October, 1943, involved a 17-year-
old boy arrested for intoxication in
the 1400 block of R street NV.
The prisoner told police that the
liquor had been given to him by
two Chinese. Police reported they
had been unable to locate the Chi
nese IN their efforts to trace the
source of the liquor.
