RECENING HOME ABOLITION URGED Menace to Undiseased Chil- dren Cited by D. C. Sub- committee Head. Abolition of the present Receiving Home for Children—because of its Inadequate facilities—was proposed by Chairman Collins of the House sub- committee in charge of the District appropriation bill during hearings on the 1938 budget. The proposal was written into the bill. During testimony by Elwood Street, director of public welfare, Chairman Oollins declared: “To be frank with you, I think it should be abolished.” “I do not know where we would put the children we are holding for court action,” Street replied. “I do not know either,” said Col- lins, “but I think it would be better to put them on the streets than to | have them huddled there together, with little tots 3 years old associating | with children with venereal diseases | and with criminals. “They say that toilets, but the toilets are available to all of them, and the ones they would use are the ones the children afflicted with social diseases would use. The one I would go to if I were inca cerated there would be the one used by | people with social diseases, because it is the closest one to the daily ac- tivities of the Receiving Home. That is the most convenient one.” Agree to Inadequacy. “We certainly agree that inadequate, but Street the home is entirely we must have a place for those chil- | dren whom we are holding for court action.” Collins “I think I am a pretty good citizen, but frankly it is perfectly terrible to my mind to take some little tot 2 years old and let him be associated all day long inals or with somebody who is suffer- ing with social disease.” Inspect Without Notice. Street: “I agree with you.” Collins: “From the social stand- point or from the standpoint of the benefits to society, I think it would be infinitely better to let those chil- dren be turned than to be incarcerated in that home. Street: “I am glad that you say that, because we all agree that it is unsuitable for the purpose.” “I had been told that it fectly terrible place and that is the reason we went there, without any advance notice.” Street: “Of course that and we are glad to have you visit any of the institutions at any time with- out advance notice. We know that this is an inadequate institution and | represents far less than we should have for the purpose, but it is all we | have.” Christian Science Lecture Friday.

THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31, 1937. Old-Time Bar uvs. the Sit-Down Is Debated in House Hearings Advantages and disadvantages of the old custom of upright two-fisted drink- ing at the old-fashioned pre-prohibi- tion bar as compared with the :nodern sit-down method as required in Wash- ington was & topic of discussion during the recent hearings on the 1938 Dis- trict supply bill before the House Sub- committee on Appropriations. Isaac Gans, member of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, was on the witness stand when Chairman Collins questioned him about the number of “drink shops” in Washington that sell wine, be- - and liquor. “That is the C license,” said Gans. “There are 327 of those. They sell beer, wine or liquor, and the people sit down to drink.” “They all sit down?” inquired Col- lins. “Yes,” replied Gans. “Why did you do that?” Collins asked. “Was that because of the name they use different | with some crim- | loose on the streets | is true Sci- | SALES SERVICE EUREKA Vacuum Cleaners If Your Dentist Hurts You Try DR.

DISTRICT 4368 PHONE The crack shot . they gave to this strike that has been going on lately?” “No,” Gans answered. “We did not want to come back to thz old-time system, where they would stand up for a drink and treat one another. If a person orders a drink and sits down to a table and eats something with his glass of beer, when he ge‘s through he goes away. They used to stand up to the bar and would stay there and you ocould not get them away.” “You think if a fellow is sitting he can get in a moving position easier than he can standing up?” asked Collins. “A fellow who will sit down and take a drink,” said Gans, “will probably take a drink and go away, but the fellow who stands up and takes a drink will meet other people and then he will get soclable and take a few more drinks.” WRECK INJURES 45 One Dies in Paris—Hendaye Ex- press Train Crack-up.
