" AND FREFGHTER President Darr of Capital C. of C. Cites Lowered Insurance Rate. Washington's policemen and firemen ! were praised for their efficlency last night by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce, in an ad- dress over Radio Station WMAL. He praised Congress for granting them sal- | ary increases. ! “It is impossible for us to estimate the | value to us of the duties and activities performed by these public servants,” Mr. Darr declared. “They protect us when we are awake or slecping,” he | added. “They save us from nameless fears and apprehension. And let me state, they have been doing this with high’ efficiency despite a salary scale ‘way below that paid to the public serv- ants engaged in similar work in other American cities. “It is not difficult to show this effi- eiency. About three years ago the cham- ber had occasion to investigate local fire insurance rates. This study showed that Washington's fire loss record is very low. Results: The fire under- writers, in response to the chamber's lea, lowered the rates charged for fire nsurance Service in the District: the Chamber of Commerce of the United States for two successive vears has awarded Washington honorable mention in its Nation-wide municipal fire-waste contest. “This evidence, it seems to me, is more than sufficient to prove the effi- clency of the District Fire Department under the management of Fire Chief George S. Watson.” Adverting to the Police Department, Mr. Darr said: . do not hesitate to say that the Po- lice Department. under the management of Maj. Henry G. Pratt. is one of the best run police departments in the United_States today. In making this claim I do not feei that I exaggerate in the slightest. Consider the various ‘rackets’ which are now rampant in other cities. I have failed to find any evidence of organized crime of this va- riety in the District. I don’t mean to say by this that we do not have boot- leggers. I don't know any other city that doesn’t have its quota, but at least we are spared the organized gang war which appears to accompany it in other cities.” D. C.

Senator Barkley of Kentucky said in a rtatement through the Democratic National Committee yesterday that if farm prices continue downward the Government “will be driven into the real estate business.” He characterized the prediction of the Department of Agriculture that for the next seven years wheat prices would be lower than in the last seven as ‘“remarkable,” ‘“without warrant” and made at “a peculiarly inopportune time, when grain, and especially wheat, is lower than it has been for nearly 20 years.” Barkley said the praise Secretary Hyde gave the tariff on the same day of the crop prediction was “a tragic way of notifying the farmers of America that under this administration the worst is yet to come.” “If the prices of major farm com- modities are destined to lower prices still, it is, indeed, a dark picture for the man who lives on a farm,” he said, as- serting that both wheat and cotton were selling below the cost of produc- ion. “The Federal Farm Loan System al- ready owns $17,000,000 of real estate taken over for unpaid loans and the Joint Stock Land Banks own $15,000, 000 worth of real estate.” 1 CARDINAL ASSIGNED TO AMERICAN SCHOOL Maryknoll College in Rome Only, United States Institution to House Resident Church Officer.

The “snooze” that Charles Forrest, colored, took on the sidewalk at Twelfth and E streets southeast ‘Thursday night might have been ‘okeh’ if the sleeper had not chosen to use a suit case full of liquor for a pillow.

A shake from the policeman and Forrest jumped to his feet, shook him- self and started away without the suit case, “Is this your baggage?” asked the officer. “No, suh, NO, SUH!” Hand opened the suit case and pulled out several bottles.
