CITIZENS FAVOR NEW LUNACY LAWS Small Loans Bill Also Is In- dorsed by Lincoln Park Association. Citing that the proposed lunacy faws are more adequate for incom- ' petent people than the present ones, | the Lincoln Park Citizens’ Assocm-f tion last night went on record as | favoring the bill now in Congress. Guilford 8. Jameson, chairman of | the Constitution and By-laws Com- mittee, and a former president of the association, introduced the resolution. | He said the proposed bill will be much better inasmuch as the people concerned will deal with simple pro- cedures instead of a jury trial. Copies of the resolution were to be gent to the House and District Com- mllnees and to the corporation coun- sel. Small Loans Bill Indorsed. The group also indorsed the pro- posed bill on the small loan laws now , in Congress, declaring that the rate | of interest on the present loans are much lower in the adjoining States. The group unanimously favored the proposed financially responsible laws for automobile owners. They de- clared that by imposing an obligation on the automobile drivers it would help promote safety on the streets in the District. Joseph L. Gammell, chairman of the Laws and Legislation Committee, #aid the responsibility laws now exist- ing in New Jersey have been pat- . terned by a number of States, and | since the time that they have been | in effect there has been a consider- | able decrease in traffic accidents. The sec! ry read a letter from the Citizens’ Ascociation of Takoma, D. C. asking indorsement of a res- | olution recently adopted by the group, requesting the Public Utilities Com- mission to reduce the gas rates in the District to correspond with wholesale rates paid by Virginia distributing companies. Action on this resolution was referred to the Public Utilities Committee for further investigation. Clinic Is Favored. Declaring that there should be more ample and suitable means for medical aid and hospital care for the people in the northeast section who have limited resources, the group unanimously indorsed a resolution, introduced by Mrs. H. Moose, favor- ing the establishment of a clinic for the poor children and the people of the middle class. The group went on record as in- dorsing the Mullens bill, which would permit the people of the District to regulate the election of delegates rep- resenting the District to the national political conventions. The body also favored reintroduc- ing a bill for the building of astndxuml at the foot of East Capitol street. ‘The bill, which was not passed in the last Congress, directs the proposed stadium to be built by the Secretary of Interior. Opposition to legalized gambling in the District was expressed by the group following a resolution by Joseph L. Gammell. The measure acted upon the request of the Washington Federation of Churches, also would hold the owner of property liable if that property is used for illegal pur- poses. Action on character education in the public schools, and the proposed bill for reorganization of the District government were referred to commit- tees to be acted upon at the next meeting. Airplanes'vRep_lace Dogs in Resuming Alaska Pioneering 16-Ton Mill Carried in the Air to One Mine. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 19.—The re- pioneering of Alaska, with airplanes replacing dog teams, was described to the American Institute of Mining and Metalurgical Engineers today by Clar- ence Poy of Valdez. He told a new story of flying, which promises industrial conquest of one of nature’s last mountain strong- holds—the rich minerals guarded by glaciers. “Sky hooks were out of the ques- tion,” he said, “so it dawned on us that airplanes were the solution of our difficulties.” To one mine a complete 16-ton mill, with supplies, bunk house and food weighing an additional two tons, was transported by plane in one week last season. The same job would take an entire season by any other transpor- tation. In one district near Valdez 60 tons of mining machinery and supplies were flown last year without any damage or any loss. The cost was about 4 cents a pound, gaainst 20 to 35 cents by other means. Je ove been buying ol ng CASH U.'8 Government te Check Coughs!
