Skinner asking the association to in dorse a bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Dyer of Missouri calling upon the Public Utilities Commission to allow all school children under eighteen vears old and attending the grade and parochial schools half fare on the street railways of the city on their wayv to and from school. The resolution was seconded by Capt. George W. Evans and adopted with out a dissenting vote. Copies of this Y resolution were ordered to be sent to ! the Federation of Citizens' Associa- ions.

The resolution was introduced by Morris, Hahn. The new parking regulation as pro- posed by the Commissioners was dis- cussed. The association finally de- clded to recommend that parking au- tomobiles on the south and north side of Pennsylvania avenue between 18th and 19th streets be limited and that the machines be parked in front f the triangle reservation near the corner of 20th street instead. A reso- lution to this effect was adopted after being introduced by Charles H. Raub. Capt. George W. Evans and Dr. Wil. liam P.

The two large local breweries are prepared to manufacture beer for medicinal purposes in large quan. tities on _certification by Secretary Mellon of the legality of supplyin, beer on prescription for the sick. Peter A. Drury, president of the Abner Drury Brewing Company, said today his plant has been making real beer and de-alcoholizing it. There is always on hand a large stock of real beer, he said, walting to be de- alcoholized, which could immedlately be made available for sick persons on prescription. Bond has been given by the company that the real pre- prohibition article will not be sold. The Christian Heurich Company, which has been turned into an ice plant, could be turned back Into a brewery almost over night, officials said today. Changes necessary to transform the plant from an ice manufactory to a brewery are slight, it was asserted, and within a few days the plant could be running at capacity to make beer for the sick of the city. the exiled Such action, thereforé, it 1s argued, would b likely to gain sympathy for his cau: rather than discourage his friends.

C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, WASHINGTONIAN RETURNS FROM TOUR ELAYS PERATION TOGNE ADDRESS Dr. Wiley Raps Treasury Beer Ruling and “Yeast Fad” i Before Expert Chemists. | Temporarily blinded, but with the old smile upon his lips, Dr. Harvey W, Wiley told members of the As- sociation of Official Agricultural {Chemists, of which organization he is honorary president, that 'his oldest son has learned but three things in four years, and onc of those Was Wrong. Dr. Wiley persuaded his surgeon, who was to have operated today for the removal of cataracts from his eyes, that he must not disappoint the agricultural chemists, in session at the Washington Hotel. ' ‘How many ounces in a pound? t!ll'ls the first question I asked my boy,’ eclared Dr. Wiley *‘Twelve ounces,” he replied. You see, he will be a chemist. Then he h answered correctly as to the number of inches in a foot and the number of feet in a yard. “But when I asked him, ‘What is system, my son? he an- Something that falls out of the sky Dr. Wiley then strongly advocated the metric ystem for universal uses throughout the United States, declar- ing that children.and their elders spend a lifetime attempting to learn the present systems of wejghts and mea: ally with no better suc- cess than his small boy. The former head of ‘the bureau of chemistry took a fling at the ruling of the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to beer and wine prescrip- tions, saying that “now a homeopathic physician may prescribe in two-and- a-half_gallon doses, which is going some for a homeopath. Attacks “Yeast Fad.” 5 Attacking the present “yeast fad,” Dr. Wiley warned Dr. W. ¥. Hand of Mississippi, who had just presented his annual address, on the subject of chlorophil fn plants, that “chlorophil is now going to run the whole gamut,” and that as soon as the con tents of Dr. Hand’s paper becomes public there will appear “chlorophil} soap and chlorophil tooth paste, and; all the rest.” Dr. Wiley pald tribute to Mme. | Curie, the noted scientist, stating that in his opinion she was.the real dis- coverer of radium, since “radium is {so like a woman that 1 don't believe any man could ever have discovered e e aaamotae 1ia IGEN.

Commissioners Express Gratifica- tion Over Cablegram Sent to Secretary: of War Weeks. Commissioners De Veyra and Gab- aldon from the Philippines today ex- pressed their gratification over the cablegram of _Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood to the Secretary of War re- ported in The Star vesterday. The cablegram denfes the truth of the statement made by the American | Chamber of Commerce at Manila to! the effect that “further investment of | {American capital in the islands was | ndesirable until their political status | lis fixed as a territory of the United !States.” Gen. Wood stated in his ca- |blegram that “investments. in the {s- 1landg. axe secure and will-he protect- ied, that conditions of public order, are excellent throughout ‘the fsiands, and that there is a keen desire for invest- ment of forelgn capital” “We were delighted to see Gov. Gen. Wood belying the American Chamber of Commerce,” and the joint state- ment of the resident commissioners, "The American people are being fed up just now with fabricated storfes of chaos, ruin and deterioration in Philippine affairs. Magazines and newspapers, as if in unison, carry half_truths about present conditions in the islands. Such flatjdenials by Gov. Gen. Wood will, we are confident, place things in their proger light in |this country. |, “It is unfortunate that the Amer- !icans in the islands, unlike those of i the homeland, are loathe to do busi- ness on an equal footing with the rest of the forelgn merchants-there. They seem to desire all sorts of prefer- ences which it would be impolitic for any government to provide. If they will only stop nagging the Filipinos and their campalgn for independence, good will and harmony will surely be the result.” NINE-DAY NOVENA.

Those with him were: Gen. Ke de Luca, his chief of staff; M. conady. Licut. Prince Ruspoli, C: Carolos Huntington, military attache of the Italian embassy here, and Col. M. C. Buckey. who has been detailed by the War Department to Gen. Diaz during his stay i { ‘When the distinguished visitors en- tered the grounds of the reservation at 10 o'clock the customary military salute was accorded them. At a small stand on the north end of the parade grounds the party was formally re- ceived by Col. Rivers, in command of the post, and his staff. Following an exchange of felicitations and _the standing at salute during the playing of the national airs of Italy and the United States by the Fort Myer Cav- alry Band, the entire party mounted chargers and then took positions in front of the grandstand, to review the parade from their mounts. Col. Rivers Serves Tea. At the conclusion of the cxercises the party retired to the home of Col. Rivers, within the grounds, where tea was served. Gen. Diaz and his party then motored back to the Willard Hotel, Which is their resi- dence here, and, following luncheon, motored to Arlington national ceme- tery. Tonight they will be the honor guests at a large and formal recep- tion at _the Italian embassy. Gen. Diaz is especially enthusiastic over what he has seen since arriv- ing .n the capital of the United States. He is deeply impressed with the American ways and with the recep- tion that has been accorded him at every hand. He said today that it was a source of deep regret with him that he does not speak English. He would like to converse more freely with the many people he is meeting each day. Capt. Huntington of the Italian embassy has thus far acted as his interpreter. Prince Ruspoli, one of the general's vounger aides, speaks sufficient English to make himself understood, but not so well or fluently as does Capt. Huntington. The grandfather of the prince was at one time mayor of Rome, and the {mother of Gen. DeLuca, Gen. Diaz's chief of staff, was born in New Or- leans. Denby Recelved by Beatty.
