10 FOCHT LOANBILL | CLAINS ATTACKED Commissioners’ Measure Has Support, Says Citizen Com- mittee Member. ‘ Asserting_that Chairman Focht of | the House District committee was, in error. when he stated that his reme- | dial loan_bill_had universal indorse- | ment, Bvan H. Tucker, member of | the citizens' committee on remedial | Joan law, in a_ statement said that| the evidence is just the opposite. He zives details of-the action of several | of the civic bodies for the purpose of impressing his peint. In a recent speech on the floor of | the House, Chairman Focht stated | that there might be 2 thousand peo- ple against his bill, where there are 250,000 for it, presenting at the same timo a list of twenty-eight organi- zations which, he said, were in favor of_his bill. Mr. Tucker pointed out that the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and the Federation of Citizens' Associations. are the leading three civic bodies of the city, representing a_ membership of 21,000 persons. These have all taken action in favor of the Commissioners' loan bill, not| the Focht bill. Analyzing further the action of the various civie bo Mr. that of the tw cht's list twenty-iwo are citizens' ations. hree of these, the Capitol Heights. the Prince Georges county and the i ant ations, seem to be § Y Maryland, and the reason | for 4Iud g them in this demand for [} legislation in the District is not ap- parent.” the statement continues. “Of the remainder, six are colored associations, who are entitled to ex- press their opinion on such subjects, but whose leadership in matters of law cannot be wisely followed in op- position to such citizens as Alexander Wolf, James T. Lloyd and George A. Finch, chairmen of the law commit- tees of the Board of Trade, the Cham- Ter of Commerce and the Federation of Citizens' Associations. “Nine of the others are members of ) the Federation of Cltizens' Associa- tions, and of these the Brightwood Citizens’ Association indorsed the pawnbrokers’ bill on May 13, 1921, but after a full report by its law commit- tee at a meeting of the federation on June 4, 192 motion by the Bright- wood repr ative to approve the! Focht bill, 6309, was defeated by | an overwhelming vote. and the fed- | eration then '\]mro\rd the Commis- sioners' bill. H. with repr Citizens’ Northwest Wesy E Southeas the Geo present and joining in th Statements of Associations. “Of the other three which are mem- | bers of the federation, one could not | be reached, but the acting president | of the Chillum C: astle Association «awi years and has no recollection of any such action. “A letter from the secretary of the Georgetown Citizens' Association says that to his knowledge the pawnbrok- ers’ bill has not been received or con- | sidered by his-association since he | became secretary in the early part of | 1920, that the former president has no { recollection of any such action, and that the statement that the bill has| been approved is erronecous. “The secretary of the Benning Citi- zens' Association writes that it went on record as appi s the Commis- sioners’ bill, H. R. favored the other bill, 9 “The president of the Bradbury Hoights Citizens’ Association writes that it has not indorsed the pawn- brokers’ bill, but is in favor of the! Commissioners’ bill. | “The president of the East Wash- ington Citizens' Association states that his association did indorse a pawnbrokers' bill some time since, but has taken no recent action. “The Langdon-Woodridge Citizens' Association is said not to have been in oxistence for several years, as itsi territory is practically covered by the | Rhode Island Avenue Citizens' Asso- | ciation. “The East End Suburban Citizens' Association is defunct. Its former president says that it_has not had a meeting for three or four years, and that many of its former members be- long to the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association, which has unanimously indorsed the Commis- sioners’ bill. “Mr. Focht's list therefore seems to furnish little basis for the impression | of a ‘universal indorsement’ of his bill, and he evidently has accepted a list which is_inaccurate and not in accordance with the facts as they are | present. “The indorsement is, in fact, decid- edly the other way, and the conclu- sion is irresistible that Mr. Focht will be fully warranted in following the Commissioners, the Chamber of Com- ,merce, the Board of Trade and the Federation of Citizens' Associations in_passing the Commissioners’ bill _rather than in_ seeking to enact a | measure of which the majority has disapproved.” Silk and Silk & Lisle “HOSIERY for WOMEN $1 and $1.25 i Silk Underwear We conduet our Hoslery in addition to and Dyeing Dusinenn.

CIRCULATION OF COLD DRY AIR 2. EFFECTIVE INSULATION 3. AIR-TIGHT CONSTRUCTION. That the Herrick has these necessary essentials is an established fact, and you may demonstrate them to your own satisfagtion through these simple tests: TEST FOR DRYNESS—Salt, matches, postage stamps, wet cloths and many other articles may be used for this test. Put salt in any iced Herrick and it will remain perfectly dry; matches left in a Her- rick will light as readily as if kept in a dry pantry. CIRCULATION TEST—Take any iced Herrick, pref- erably one equipped with a glass door, so you can see through, and put smoke in the food chamber. The circulation inside will carry the smoke around. INSULATION TEST—Herricks are solid construc- tion—no dead air space, and we are always willing to prove it. PRESERVATION TEST—Fruits of all kinds may _be left indefinitely in an iced Herrick and they will never decay; the sanitary linings help to prevent moisture and decay. ECONOMY TEST—The real ‘test of economy in a refrigerator is in the saving of food and ice. . You can buy a Refrigerator for less than the price of a Herrick, but you can’t buy a more eco- nomical one. HOME TEST—Herrick' Refrigerators once tested out in thé home always give satisfaction; they are so well and perfectly made for keeping foods pure and keeping ice bills down.
