I replied that if being a District Commissioner barred me from attending the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce I didn’t want to be a Com- missioner. Capt. Oyster asked for the co-opera- tion of every member and said that he couldn't hope to e a success of his new work unless that co-op- eration was forthcominsg. Immediate steps to eliminate “gun in the District of Columbia were urged by ‘the police and fire protection committee report. which was submitted by Charles W. Darr, vice chairman. The emergy of the police department and the courts in _stamping out this practice will go for naught, in the opinion of the committee, unless a law is enacted by Congress governing the sale of such weapons. Congress Urged to Act. “The penalties in such a law must be severe and certain,” said the report, and while the punishment must fit the crime, and instance may be cited where courts have declared laws in- valid on account of the penalties being excessive, there can be no danger, in the opinion of the committee, of Con- gress fixing a punishment in the case here that would be too excessive to impose upon an unlawful sale of fire- arms or the crime of gun toting, which has grown to be an alarming menace to the people of every state in the Union. “The committee is advised that in the city of London, Eng., even the police are not permitted to carry guns. “The committee cails attention to the fact that such a law of Congress as your committee has suggested will only in a small way- remedy the existing evil of indiscriminate purchases and sales of guns in the District of Colum- bia, and only in a smaller way cure us of 'the exi evils of gun toting if_the cities of the state, contiguous to ‘Washington are to continue without reg- ulation or restraint in the sale of fire- arms. With a law strong enough, if en- forced, to prevent the unlicensed sale of firearms in the District of Columbia, you will at once drive not only those of criminal intent, but also some of our best citizens' to Baltimore, Alexandria, or while in any nearby state, to pur- chase guns for private use and take a chance on bringing them into the Dis- trict of Columbia without registration or any other record that such a gun is in the District. New State Laws Needed. “We, therefore, earnestly recom- mend that the President of the Cham- ber of Commerce appoint a committee to take up with the governors of the states of Maryland, Virginia, West irginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York the question of urging| upon the general assemblies of these states the enactment of laws similar to that to be passed by Congress for the District of Columbia govering the sale and toting of firearms for their respective states, and further that the committees urge the Chamber of Commerce and other trade, commer- cial and fraternal bodies of the cities in the states to get behind the move- ment to the end that in these states and the District of Columbia there will be a uniform law govering the sale of and toting of guns, and ultimately the committee should extend its work to include all of the states and terri torles of the United States, and onl in this way can the people of all of the states be fully protected from the evils of gun toting. our committee believes that all NOTICE g between B, . under the n * commission business. ‘at 915_Louisiana nw.. was dissolved February 7. 1921.

With attendance figures mounting daily, the auto show, now being held at Convention Hall, is expected to treak all existing records for this city before it closes on Saturday night. The first two nights of the show, Saturday and Monday, have been un- fortunate in that the weather has been bad, but in spite of this proba- bly more than five thousand Washing- tonians have already visited the hall to look over the latest creations of the automobile manufacturers’ art. The show is well arranged and ac- cessible. The aisles are wide enough to permit many people to pass with- out crowding. The cars are arranged in an attractive manner in the various booths. Probably every firm represented at the show has had at least one order for a car, due directly to the display. or has secured prospects who will buy in the near future. : An instance of the value of displ. and the interest taken by the public in the affair is related by one of the dealers. On Saturday night, the opening, one of several men who looked over his car seemed particularly interested, and promised to drop into the show room to get a demonstration. On Sunday morning, bright and early, the dealer had occasion to go to the showroom after some papers, and was { very much surprised to find his pros- pect standing at the window sur- veying the car, although he knew that the showroom would not be open on that day. This instance shows that the public is actively interested in automobiles and still more interested in making its pick from a large number of cars displayed under one roof. —_— e of the merchants of the District of Columbia_engaged in the sale of fire- arms will, pending such time as the sale of firearms is properly regulated by law, co-operate with the police de. partment in an attempt to reduce th possible increase of the sale of fire. arms to irresponsible persons by vol- untarily referring strangers to the police department for a permit to pur- chase guns, and in this way, if all of the dealers will agree and strictly ob- serve the agreement, certain les| of guns to irresponsible persons can at least be prevented in a great ma jJority of cases, and the committec de sires to suggest that this co-opera- tion be had, not by threats of prose i cution of dealers or orders to them to do something that they are not oblig- ed by law to do, but this matter is of such vital importance to the people {of Washington that the Commission- ers_should call a conference of the dealers engaged £ and selling firearms and solici co-operation in remedying this and induce {them to voluntarily agree to observe {such reagonable rules governing such and the sales as the Commissioners dealers may agree upo A special committes of three to carry out the provisions entafled in the report will be appointed by Presi- dent Albert Schulteis in the next few {days. - ! ) Would Unite Clvle Bodies. | Declaring that nothing ibe accomplished along any line without unity of effort, Dr. Freeman urged the consolidation of all civic bodies under one head and one cen- tral office. “An_effort should solidate all civ B@ made to con- organizations,” said the speaker. ‘This is the age of co- operation. The time has come when it's a dangerous business for a cor- porate body to go along independent of its neighbors. Dr. Freeman declared that Wash- ington was hypnotic, and any American who did rot Washington, the Tmperial Capital,” should migrate to Mexico the very first opportunity. The speaker told of his carly asso- clations with Ahe Menneanolis civic and commerce organizations, which, he sald, was composed of 4,500 bus ness men of the northwest.

Approximately 5000 Army promo- tion nominations, including the rank of captain, submitted by President Wilson before the change in admin- istrations, were confirmed yesterday by the Senate after considerable de- bate. The list of Army mominations was resubmitted to the Senate without change by President Harding almost mediately upon his inauguration. Oppoxed by Senator Reed. Senators said opposition to the con- firmation was expressed by Senator Reed, democrat. Missouri, who re- viewed the action of the Pershing board in selecting officers for promo- ton and denounced existing laws which would give the newly promoted officers seniority over others who had previously held similar rank. The reappointment of - William H. Joyce of Los Angeles, Calif., to be a member of the Federal Farm Loan Board also was confirmed, as was the appointment of Lieut Col. Gustave Lukesh, to be a member of the Mis- sissippi river commission. Other confirmations receiving fa- vorable action Included a number of officers of the Marine Corps and the coast guard servic On objection of Senator Spencer of Missouri, action on the nomination of Charles C.

Harper Pleads for Chinese. An appeal for the Chinese famine fund was made by Robert N. Harper, chairman of the local committee and former president of the chamber. The report of the convention's com- mittee was supbmitted by M. A. Leese, chairman, who urged Wash- ington to raise $5,000 for convention purposes, pointing out that this small fund would bring almost 5,000 people a day to the District. A rising vote of thanks was given Chapin Brown for his work in putting through Congress the Municipal Court law, which raised the limit of money in suits over which the court had supervision.

Thomas _Bradley, president of the, Board of Trade, today told of the work of the provident savings fund of the Associated Charit He said: It was in 1908 that 1 first became | treasurer of the provident savings fund of the Associated Charities. Although often tempted to resign the position since that time, becausc of the pressure of other duties, I have never quite been able to do %o, because, as I have| watched the influence of the work from year to vear, I have become more and more convinced that it is a form of very practical and helpful philanthropy. Its chief appeal to me has been the! fact that it teaches people of very lim-| ited resources to form habits of thrift. The fund antedates by many years the postal savings system of the govern. ment, which has now become so popu- ar with small depositors. We know, | too, the amounts of money the govern- | ment has been able to coilect from the sale of war savings stamps in small | denominations “The Associated Charities fund was first_established in 1 deposits that year amounted to $57. Last year they totaled $21,090.83. grand total of $19 92 has been de. posited in the fund during the twenty: five vears of its existence—surely no mean sum, especially when we remem- ber that the money has come from per- sons living close to the poverty line, persons who. cxcept for these savings would often hive had to ask for charity, especially in the winter, when they cash their stamps and buy fuel, warm cloth- ing. or pay their rent when out of woik. ‘eatures of System. “There are at least three outstand- ing features of the system. First, the collections are made chiefly by volunteers who are assigned to spe- | cial neighborhoods. In the course of this work 42.147 made by volunteers last year.

Second, the system lays tie foundation for the habit of When the habit is once savi 6. one of our banks, “Third, and not least. it gives the | volunteer social worker. a natural approach to neglected neighhorhoods apportunity for real constructive social work with these communities and the people liv- ing in them.
