With the public having a thorough knowledge of conditions and a sense of rendering justice to children in the form of giving them the proper aid, Dr. Lapp indicated it would be y to secure the enactment of legisla- tion providing for carrying out wel- fare work. He told the group at the luncheon that the same men who fought the Sheppard-Towner mater- nity act would certainly be for at least an intermediate educational program, hecause they know the public would be in favor of it. In the same way, Dr. Lapp said, they would be in favor of adequate welfare programs if they knew the whole public was for them. Dr. Lapp advocated a check-up on the cost of government in respect to various activities, and ‘particularly pertaining to child welfare. Welfare activities for aiding children in need should be limited only as the ability ‘of people to carry through those activ- ities is limited, he concluded. A. C. Moses, president of the Wash- ington Council of Social Agencies, who introduced Dr. Lapp, referred to the increase in taxes in the District, and stated that child welfare work should be carried on, with streets and lighting facilities neglected, if neces- sary. LICENSES URGED FOR NEWS DEALERS. AS OBSCENITY CURB (Continued from First Page.) lcense: “our hands are tty much tied.” plj\elr} Dougherty sees no reason why newsdealers, many of whom are keeping just within the law, should not be licensed the same as poolroom propricto We are anxious to make the District healthy and safe,” he said, although the licensing of news- dealers involves such controversial questions as perhaps a board of cen- sorship. The fact that the Commissioners are unable to revoke the licenses of pool- yoom proprietors known to have vio- lated the law, Mr. Dougherty pointed out, has been a serious obstacle in law enforcement. Even if revocation clause could not be obtained in the case of news dealers, it would be possible, he pointed out, to refuse to renew a li- cense when it expires. That would compel the dealer to go to court for redre: Theater Pictures Scored. A recent walk down Pennsyl- vania avenue convinced Commissioner Dougherty that while the campaign to cl up newsstands has been as effective as circumstances would permit, the restrictions which were hedged about the police and other District authorities made a complete limitation of objectionable displays impossible. He referred particularly to the pictures displayed on the side- / a certain theater on Penn- ¥ avenue. “It is impossible for any one walking past not to see this display,” he said, “but I don't know what we can do about it.” Many complaints regarding these pictures have been received, not only by The Star during the past week, but also by the police. It is highly important that the newsstands be kept free of sugges- tive literature, Mr. Dougherty said, and District officials are anxious to co- operate in every way possible to keep them clean. Whether a licens- ing regulation for newsdealers would be acceptable to Congress he did not know, but it was expected that active steps would be taken to obtain such authority at the present season. Newsdealers questioned claimed that Baltimore is one of the chief distributing points for much of the literature and so-called “art” cards that are being circulated and sold here. Police officlals regard as sig- nificant the fact that the State attor- ney's office in Baltimore has begun to make a survey of Baltimore news- stands with the expectation of wag- ing an energetic campaign against the distribution of salacious lterature in that city. Anything done in that line in Baltimore, it was believed, would have a salutary effect on the District. Favors Distributors’ Pact. Ma). Hesse declared today that if he had the power he would ban from all newsstands in the city many of the publications now being legitimately sold. “The Police Department is behind this campaign 100 per cent,” he said. There are three principal distribut- ing news agencies here, he said, nam- ing the Washington News C the District News Co. and the Capital News Co., which supply the bulk of papers and magazines to retail deal- ers. He pointed out that recently in New York the news distributing agencies got together and to ban all but five or six pul “Unless conditions get better here, 4 | greatest succes before, he predicted. life to live over again, I would start right now. I am just as optimistic today as I was 50 years ago.” | Mr. Schwab announced that his was hjs “ability to| borrow money He praised senti- ment in business, and declared that | “there is no profit in manufacturing that is not made by economy.” Business, he said, is nolonger a| matter of sharp bargaining. All simi- lar products sell for practically the same prices, and there is no more struggle to undersell. The successful business man is the man who intro- neering Chemistry.

Hesse belleved the dis- tributing agencies here should get together, as in New York, and take effective steps to eliminate certain publications. s “Unless they do,” he warned, “the | authorities will have to put the whole responsibility on them.” Maj. Hesse believed that most of the objectionable publications have been successfully banned, but de- clared his belief that many are being scld. Continuous vigilance tends to confine the sales to ‘‘under-cover” transactions, he said, and undoubtedly much of this is going on. Magazine Flaunts Ban. One of the new publications, which has been on sale here for about four weeks, Maj. Hesse has been unable to have banned. Devoted to the "“‘wel- fare of the human body,” it is typical of this character of publication that contains half a dozen harmless medi- cal topics and then is interspersed with suggestive articles, which Maj. Hesse declared ought to be banned from public sale. That the public is thoroughly aroused in support of the campaign to prevent such publications from falling intg the hands of school chil- dren and other minors is evidenced by the number of communications that are being received by The Eve- ning Star. At the regular monthly meeting of the Capitol Hill Chapter of the Woman’s Christian Temper- ance Union Wednesday the following resolution was adopted: “Resolved, To extend the hearty commendations of this organization to The Evening Star, the District attorney and the police for their activities in cleaning up the newsstands of our city.” The resolution was forwarded to The Star by Lillie M. Muffley, secretary of the organization. Another communication from Arthur Harris, referring to the campaign against indecent literature, says: “Surely some of your staff must occa- sionally walk down Pennsylvania ave- nue, and in doing so notice the alleged advertising of a theater as to what one is supposed to see when once inside. Some days the pictures ex- hibited as advertisement are more offensive than at others, but any day should suffice to cause this theater in question to be closed.” NI R EXANDRIA. ALEANDRIA, Va., January 15 (Special).—Troop No. 134, Boy Scouts, of Christ Episcopal Church, will be presented with a Scout charter at the 11 o'clock services at that church to- morrow morning. This ceremony, it is stated, will make this troop a na- tionally recognized one. At the con- clusion of the presentation there will be the candle service. Members of the various other Scout troops of the city have been extended an invitation to attend. A. T. Smith is scoutmaster of this troop, and George R. Fletcher is his assistant. Arrangements for the ceremony are in charge of a com- mittee composed of Julian T. Burke, D. N. Rust, jr, and Dr. Vivian P. Berry. An automobile stolen last night from in front of the residence of O. T. Davis, 204 North Washington street, was recovered in Fredericksburg two hours afterward, and two boys were taken in custody to be brought here for trial. .

Bill for War Buildings. By the Associated Press. A bill to appropriate $5,080,000 for additional buildings at 13 military posts was reported, without amend- ment, yesterday by the Senate mill- tary committee. It is sponsored by Senator Wadsworth, Republican, New ot the War Department, DISTRICT SUFFRAGE MOVE SHOWS GAINS; 1927 PLANS ARE LAID _(Continued from First Page.) also told of recent meetings of the House committee on the District of Columbia, when national representa- tion spokesmen, through the courtesy of Representatives Gibson of Ver- mont, Houston of Delaware and Ham- mer of North Carolina, were given still another opportunity to - plead “voteless Washington's” cause. Aid Given by Rathbone, . Mr. Brandenburg spoke of the aid received on the latter occasion from Representative-at-large Rathbone of Iilinois, himself a member of the House District committee. Mr, Rath- bone, native of Washington, pleaded earnestly with his fellow committee- men, Mr. Brandenburg reported, in favor of lifting the embargo on the District’s political rights. Last evening’s meeting was electri- fied by a report submitted by Gideon A. Lyon, chairman of the citizens’ sub- committee on print and radio pub- licity. It told in detail of the recent Nation-wide circularization campaign among 2,000 leading men and women of the country. These molders of opinion were supplied, Mr. Lyon said, with marked copies of the House Jjudiciary committee’s hearings, and asked to express themselves by letter as to the justice or otherwise, in their view, of Washington’s claims. “In all but a very few instances,” Mr. Lyon stated, “the responses were hearty indorsements of the District’s cause. In a surprisingly small num- ber of cases the ‘negative’ view of the District’s claim was expressed. The letters of indorsement and ap- proval thus recelved constitute a genuine assurance that the trend of public opinion in this country is fa- vorable to the District’s demand for national representation. In some in- stances, the writers of these letters offered aid in the fight for District enfranchisement. Some expressed sur- prise at the District’s condition of dis- franchisement. Some, well aware of the fact in advance, expressed them- selves as strongly partisan for the proposed constitutional amendment. Gains Made at Philadelphia. Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the sub- committee on campaign activities, told of the presentation of the District’s case at the Washington day exercises of the Sesquicentennial at Philadel- phia in October last. “Our cause was splendidly pleaded within sound Liberty Bell,” said Mr. Suter o foe William Mather Lewis, president of George Washington University, A feature of the Philadelphia expedition was the distribution of Frederic Wil liam Wile's ‘ode,’ entitled ‘My Dis- trict, "Tis of Thee, which has been ;](lzum} l()tll‘l:’ a p}-,)ttlent and picturesque ea for the righting of W.

Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, chair- man, and Mrs. Anna M. Hendley of the women's activities branch of the Citi- zens’ Committee on National Repre- sentation reported progressive inter- est in the cause among women all over the country. A similarly fa- vorable report, as respects organized labor, was submitted by John B. Dickman of the Central Labor Union DlTll:m District of Columbia. 080 present at the meetls cluded E: C.
