REGRET PROPOSH T0 CLOSE MARKET Randle Highlands Citizens Ask Government to Re- consider Decision. | A resolution deploring the proposed | abandonment of Cer Market was| assed at a meeting o! Randle High- | lands Citizens’ Assoc n, held last! night at the Orr Sch ty-second and Prout streets s | The resolution, whici was introduced | by C. A. Barker, secre y of the asso- ciation, and met with unanimous favor. | reads as follows: “Whereas the Center Market, estab- lished in 1850 by private interests, but now owned and operated by the United States Government on a fair return| rental basis, is & utility of greatesi| service to the residents of the District of Columbia and adjacent territory, and | they view with many misgivings and regrets its proposed discontinuance; now, therefore, be it “Resolved, That the proper authori- ties be requested to reopen the consid- eration of the proposed market aban- donment and that the suggestion be made that the architectural plans of the new development include the pres- | ent market plant in a ‘sh which would be designed so as to be in keep- | ing with the rest of the development,| and that the secretary of this associa- | tion be instructed to submit this matter to the proper authorities.” Says Capper Is Interested. | The association was given to under- | stand by one of its members that Sena- tor Arthur Capper, chairman of the Senate District committee, was inter- esting himself in the market situation. Present plans call for the destruction of Center Market to make way for the new Department of Justice Building as ;&n of the Pennsylvania avenue-Mall gle development sponsored by the Federal Government. Data Distributed. Several matters brought up at the meeting were held over until the next meeting of the association, owing | to the small attendance last night Among these was the question of repre- sentation in Congress for the District | of Columbia. The association distrib- | uted among its members data received | from the Citizens’ Joint Committee on Distriet of Columbia National Repre- sentation. A motion to indorse the Capper-| 2Zihlman bill for free text books in| Junior high and high schools, as well as for elementary schools of the Dis- trict, was also held over to the next| meeting. The association voted to call its next meeting for December 18, due to the fact that the last Wednesday of De- cember is Christmas day. the TERM FOR ROBBERY WITH GUN IS RAISED Tlinois Board of Pardons and Pa- roles Announces Ruling. By the Associated Press. | CHICAGO, November 28—By a ruling | of the board of pardons and paroles | Jjust announced, Illinois prison inmates convicted of robbery with a gun must serve a minimum of 4 years before | they are eligible to parole. i W. C. Jones, chairman of the pardon | board, in explaining the ruling, said it | was the decision of the members to| make the punishment twice as severe as | the average in other States. A survey of 100 penal institutions, he sa: showed an average of a trifie more th 3 years, less time coff for good behavi ‘With this in mind, the pardon board | fixed the time to be served in Illinois | at 6 to 13 years. With the allowances | for good behavior, the resultant terms for armed robbery convicts is a min- | imum of 4 years to 8 years and 8 months. | One effect seen by the board of this | more rigorous code is the immediate | need of additional prison capacity. Fol- | the board meeting, Rodney | Brandon, director of public wulsre.’ announced the State would rush com- pletion of the $1,300,000 expenditure | for additional cells.

By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 28 —Cigarette smoking by 3-year-old children was one of the customs that Dr. Margaret Mead, ethnologist, says she found among the natives of the Admiralty Isiands. Dr. Mead, who is assistant curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History, visited the islands to make a comparative study of the development of primitive and civilized children The Admiralty Islands are southwest | governing body, were great traders, ac- | of the Philippines. They were part of | dulring all thelr goods in exchange for A sh., German New Guinea and n:w are con- trolled by Australia under a League of Nations mandate, Dr. Mead said the children began smoking cigarettes, made of Louisiana twist wrapped in newspaper, at the age of 3. She sald the practice apparently had no ill-effect on thelr health, They are as bright and more nimble than American children. She said she had not as yet formulated her conclusions. One tribe, called the Manus, number- ing about 2,000, she said, lived in huts standing on stilts set on low coral reefs. Children learned to swim as soon as they couldhwalk. and, although all the settlement is by canoe, drowning was almost unknown. She said the Manus, who lived in an | absolute democracy without chief or MEDICINE ‘Whenwesay Pase Ointment will re~ IT WILL &=siz Piles we mean it.

Dr. Mead said the Manus believed all Americans were colored, gaining their impression from American ships in the copera trade, which frequently have col- cred crews.

By the Associated Press. DETROIT, November 28—The State .| completed its evidence in the trial of James Fernando, charged with the kid- naping of 5-year-old Jackie Thompson, here t night at a night session of the court. Defense attorneys offered a motion asking for a directed verdict of acquittal for Fernando. It was overruled and the defense offered its opening statement before the court recessed until Friday. Fernando will offer an alibi, a de- fense attorney said, and charged that the police officers concerned in the case had restricted their testimony to pro- tect an unnamed person. “The people in this trial have not had the thorough support of the Police De- partment,” the lawyer said. “When- ever the testimony aproached a con- nection with somebody or other, they u]hled away from it and shut up like clams.” Accused Banker Waives Hearing.
