B—10 ¥+ THREE BLSREADY FOR NCE 1O SEN Others Clearing One House Include Bonding for Schools, Avenue. By ¢ Btaff Correspondent of he Star. ANNAPOLIS, March, 25.—Three proposals affecting Montgomery and | Prince Georges Counties were virtually | ready for the statute books today, requiring only the signature of Gov. | Harry W. Nice to become law after passing the Senate last night. { Four others were adopted by the House and Senate and changed chambers for further study. Included were the hills allowing the sale of | $440,000 in bonds for Prince Georges’ echool construction program and $80,- 000 in bonds for the improvement of | Connecticut avenue in Montgomery. Foremost among the three measures to complete their journey through the State Assembly is the proposal to empower the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion to eliminate duplications in | Etreet names and house snumbers in | Prince Georges' metropolitan district. | Photographer OLD-FASHIONED CAMERA TO CATCH CAPITAL.

Dorsey, jr, of | world over in search of beauty, Miss Bt. Marys County sponsored the rail- road bill for the concern which oper- ates between Brandywine, in Prince Georges, and Mechanicsville, in Charles County. The others were in- troduced by the Prince Georges and | Montgomery delegations, respectively. Members of the Senate adopted | Benator Stedman Prescott's measure | authorizing the county commissioners | in Montgomery to sell $80,000 in | bonds for improvement of Connecticut | avenue betweenr Chevy Chase Circle and Chevy Chase Lake. It was offered to assure the im- provement should negotiations with | the State Roads Commission, rp- newed a short time ago, again fall through, as they have repeatedly during the last several years. The bill now goes over to the House. Would Raise Salaries. ‘The lower branch of the Legislature adopted and sent to the Senate measures authorizing issuance of £440,000 n bonds to finance Prince | Georges’ new school construction pro- | gram, a raise in salaries of the Prince | Georges' Road Board and creation of | an official Montgomery County flag. Sipprell believes that on the banks of the Potomac is evolving a city that will be the wonder work of man. Though she has done landscapes in the gardens of Dalmatia, photo- graphed the palazzos of Ragusa and taken pictures of Bosnia and Herzegovina and in old Mexico, Miss Sipprell, after 30 years’ work with a camera, turns its lens on Washington as a city for the first time. In portraiture she has taken pic- tures here of several celebrities, and prizes among her exhibit the last photograph ever made of the late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Once Miss Sipprell exhibited here in the Arts Club. Another exhibition is now being planned for the Public Library. DEATH RECOMMENDED Rhode Island Commission Reports on Kidnaping Slayings.

Explaining the college viewpoint, Dean Theodore Distler of Lafayette College declared that with all the admission standards required, the moment a boy is accepted he be- comes the college responsibility and that the higher institutions have no right to criticize the secondary schools or hold them responsible for a stu- dent's failure. . The delegates also heard short talks on vocational, educational and social guidance. Col. Roy F. Farrand of St. John's Military Academy, dis- cussing the teaching of backward students, said nobody but an imbecile is beyond aid.

He revealed that the average dalily resident population during February was 1,555, or about 10 per cent over the average for February of last year. [ERSLATOR SES DANGERSOF AR Neutrality Measures Alone No Safeguard, Meeting of School Group Told. Neutrality measures alone will not be sufficient to keep America out of war, Senator Schwellenbach of Wash-. ington told members of the Association of Military Schools and Colleges of the United States at the organization’s annual dinner at the Mayflower last night. The association concludes 1its twenty-fourth annual meeting there today. Senator Schwellenbach suggested furtherance of the “good neighbor” policy, development of South and Central American markets and lower- ing of tariff barriers as means to pre- vent this country being dragged into another war. At the banquet Col. D. D. Pearson of New Mexico Military Institute was elected president of the association, with Col. H. B. Moore of Greenbrier Military School, vice president and Col. J. M.

ATLANTA, March 25—Tom K. Bmith of St. Louis, president of the American Bankers’ Association, said today that bankers face a big problem in deciding how much work now per- formed by the Federal Government can be turned back to chartered banks. In an address before a regional con- ference of the association, he said: “It should be emphasized that the Gov- ernment did not force itself into the banking business. “As the crisis grew acute, there arose a greater and greater demand from private business that the Federal Gov: ernment throw its immense credit re sources into the breach, and the Gov: ernment did so only in response to this | demand.” | He said the Bankers' Association is | making studies to serve as basis for | negotiation with Government officials on the curtailment of Federal banking | activity. Citing the “heritage of problems” left by the depression, he said, “Unques- tionably the present is one of the most Important periods in the history of | American banking.” “In our day-to-day operations we must be unceasingly careful to see that | the public understands every transac- tion we handle. We must give the public the facts clearly and cour- teously, so that we may remove all mystery from chartered banking.” Investment of surplus funds is a | major problem for banks; he said. t S _COMPANY Travel Departmen: N _EXPRI ' CORONATION E still have a num- ber of seats for sale for the public.
