Mrs. Julia MeIIrath
Has 90th Birthday

Of all the marvellous changes
that have come to pass during her
80 years, the television is the most
wonderful to Mrs. Julia Mcllrath
who will observe her Goth birthday
on Friday, May 29th. Mrs. Nc
Ilrath makes her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Bessie Liske, 14518
Woodwork rd. She has spent her

was a railroader. So was Frank
McIlrath to whom she was married
So years when he died IL years
ago. When he began his railroad
ing career with the old Michigan
Southern he earned $35 a month.
They lived on old Fulton st., now
Darwin ave.
Mrs. McIlrath has lost count of
the number of quilts she has
patched. She has gone the rounds
of gift giving to her seven grand
children, IA great-grandchildren
and two great-great grandchildren.
She counts her aprons by the
dozen.
During her younger years her
chief recreation was dancing. Now
she enjoys television which has
taken over so much Of her time,
she says that it hampers her quilt
making.
"After seeing a 101-year-old
woman on the teleyision, said Mrs.
McIlrath, 81 feel quite young my
SELF" And she certainly bellies her
age in appearance and in her con-
versation, which is sprightly and
quite up to date.

Girls Conduct
Own Campaign

While the 15-hour Cerebral
Palsy Fund Telethon was in prog
ress the weekend of May 1917, two
Savannah ave. girls conducted their
own little canvas, just on their
street.
Kathie Covie, 1857 Savannah,
felt that just going door to door,
people might give who would not
give if they had to mail in the
money. So in the downpouring rain,
she started out-and she was right.
The people gave and when it was
all counted Volunteer Kathie had
collected $74.13.
Kathie was assisted for part
of the canvass by Judy Ford, 14627
Savannah ave. The girls would
like their neighbors to know how
much they gave, and to thank
them. "There are wonderful peo-
pie on Savannah and we are proud
of them", say the collectors.
Kathie is a Junior at Shaw
Judy attends Kirk Jr. High.
Neighbors in the Ardenall, East
152nd st and Taylor I'd. area were
also visited by volunteers, and
Shaw students, Kathy Regal Of
14300 Ardenall ave. and Nancy
Erickson 1897 East 152nd ST.
They d~-ided they would brave
the rain and see what they could
do. They did, and they collected
$500 which has been turned over
to the fund campaign headquarters

to each person who responded to
their doorbell ringing

a good number for him. He said:

I feel my years here have been
well spent and l want to thank the
folks at City Hall, the fellows in
the department and the citizens,
especially, for making these years

Plan for Tv Linkup
.0f11District Theaters
Described 10 FEC

A system for showing television
programs at II Washington
theaters linked to a central dis
tribution point was described
today to the Federal Communi-
cations Commission.
The commission resumed hear
ings on the application by or
ganizations in the motion picture
industry for allotment of TV
channels so that programs could
be shown in theaters. The first
phase of the hearings was COM
pleted last October.
Engineer Describes Set Up.
As today'S session resumed at
the Commerce Department aud
itorium, Andrew F. Inglis, con-
Sulting radio engineer, took the,
witness stand to describe a.pfo-
posed Washington set-up. He is
a member of the firm of McIn-
tosh and Inglis, TIT Fourteenth
street NV, and appeared for
the Motion Picture Association
Of America Inc.
Mr.. Inglis testified that under
one study, II theaters within 1.3
miles would be served by a wire
service system. Theaters includ-
ed are the Home. Stanton, jew
ell, Central, Little, Warner, Ma
tional. Capitol, Trans-Lux, Gem
and Raphael.
Mr.. Inglis said this is one of
six groups of Washington the
aters and was chosen for this
study because it is a large con-
centration of theaterS in a small
area.
In the study, Mr.. Inglis said.
it was assumed that each the
ater would be served by means
of a separate wire circuit lead
ing from a distribution point
and that no theater-to-theater
loops would be employed.
The engineer explained that
for this group, a wire distribu-
ton point in the vicinity CT
First and F streets NV, was
assumed.
Radio Sometimes Cheaper.
Mr.. Inglis told the commission
that at a distance Of several
miles or more, it is more eco
nomical to transmit by radio
than by individual wires in q
radio o-theater-television distribu-
ton system. For short distance
hops. a saving can be made by
using wire. he explained.
Prior testimony before the
commission gave a study on
service to Is theaters here by
radio only.
The commission chairman an
nounced that the theater-tele-
vision hearings will be held only
on Mondays and Tuesdays, due
to the commissions heavy work
load. He indicated that night
sessions will be held later to
speed up the hearings.

.Two-Pronged Attack
On Addicts and Dope
Sellers Is Outlined

Three assistant United States
attorneys last night outlined a
two-pronged ATTACK on the dope
traffic to get at both the supply
and the demand.
Arthur D. Schaffer, one Of the
assistants, said his chief, United
States Attorney Charles M. Irlan,
believes that if dope addicts can
be taken of the street and hos
pitalized, it will help dry up the
demand for illegal drugs.
He explained the operation Of
the proposed law to commit dope
users for treatment and re-
habilitation. The proposed bill.
which has been urged by The
Star, is to be introduced by Rep
resentative Miller, Republican, of
Nebraska.
FOlIOw-up Check.
Mr.. Schaffer emphasized that
one of the most important as
poets of the proposed law is its
provision for followup checks
on the rehabilitated. addict. He
explained that once a dope user
is released from the hospital as
cured he would have to report
monthly to the probation Office
of the court. Should he relapse
into his old ways, he would be
sent back to the hospital.
Thomas A. Walden, jr., who
heads the new Division Of In
vestigation in the prosecutors
Office, urged more police and
more agents for the Federal Bu-
reau of Narcotics to attack the
narcotics supply.
Man on Beat Important.
He stressed that the man on
the beat is an important arm of
enforcement, since he is the one
most familiar with the neigh
borhood, the man most likely
to know who is working and
who isn't and what places within
his area might be suspected.
Mr.. Walden went on to point
out that the Police Department
is understaffed by $50 men and
the force itself is grossly under
paid. He said this was a COM
munity. He explained that he
million spent annually by addicts
here is donated" by the COM
mounity. He explained that he
meant addictS rob af1d steal to
maintain their $20-a-day dope
habit.
Robert L. Ackerly, who has been
specializing in prosecuting dope
peddlers, emphasized that the
problem is also international
since this country is supplied
from abroad. The prosecutors
spoke on District Round Table, I"
