FID RATIO LAW
Oldest Inhabitants Demand
Statute Governing D. C.
Lump Sum.
Rejection by Congress of the pro
posed repeal of the substantive law. i
providing for payment of 40 per cent ;
of the District's expenses by the Fed- !
eral Government, was asked last night
in a resolution adopted by the Asso- \
nation of Oldest Inhabitants of the
District of Columbia, until the law
is superseded “by another definite plan
for an equitable division of expenses
between the United States and the
District.”
The resolution was introduced by
Jesse C. Suter, one of the vice presi
dents of.the association, at the organi
zation's meeting in the Old Union
Engine House, Nineteenth and H
streets N.W. Mr. Suter pointed out
that repeal of the law is provided for
in the pending District tax bill.
B. W. Payne, speaking on the mo
tion, deplored Congress’ failure 'to live
up to the substantive law, pointing
out its failure to make the 40 per rent !
Federal contribution as the law pro
vides. and asserted: "Congress, which j
makes the laws, should be the first,
to obey them.”
Copies of the resolution were ordered
sent to the Senate and House, with j
1 he request that it be placed on record j
and presented to the District Com- 1
mittee in eaeh body. Another copy j
was ordered sent to the Federation of i
Citizens' Associations.
v» nipping i-osi nan l amed.
A resolution, introduced by James F. \
Duhamel, corresponding secretary of t
the association, asking for the estab- 1
Jishment of a whipping post at the !
District. Jail, and that not less than
20 lashes be given to “any footpad, j
highwayman, assaulter or thief." was i
tabled by the association after debate.
The motion to table was made by Mr.
Suter, who declared the whipping post
was a “relic of antiquity.”
The association voted to present its j
proposal for an official District flag,
in accordance with plans previously j
decided upon by it. for consideration
before a commission to select a de- j
sign for such a flag, if the commis- |
slon is appointed as proposed by Con- ]
press. Junior District Day. to be on i
Apfil 20, was indorsed. John Claeett
Proctor, senior vice president, who
presided, accepted in behalf of the
organization a picture of Theodore W.
Noyes, the association's president, pre- I
sented by the Washington Post.
A number of suggestions for reno- !
bating the meeting hall of the asso- j
ciation and other parts of the Old j
Union Engine House Building were ;
referred to the Committee on Renova
tions, Mr. Suter, chairman, for con
sideration and report at a future
meeting.
To Restore Pictures.
The association reiterated a former
resolution to have 75 per cent of the
walls of the meeting hall again covered
with pictures, after the latter are taken
down in the near future to permit re- :
papering and painting.
Charles S. Fletcher. 705 East Capitol
afreet, was elected to membership in
the association at last night's meeting, j
The following committee appoint

DR. LASKI TO OPEN
LECTURES TONIGHT
The ‘Future of Federalism in the
United States’ Will Be Topic
in Constitution Hall.
Dr. Harold J. Laski of the London
School of Economics will deliver the
first of two lectures on the ‘‘Future
of Federalism in the United States”
at 8:15 o'clock tonight in Constitution
Kali under auspices of George Wash
ington University. The public has
been invited.
Dr. Laski will discuss the part
played by Federal, State and local
government in solution of new prob
lems confronting the country as a
whole. The speaker will be intro- 1
duccd by Dr. Clyde H. Marvui, presi- j
dent of the university.
Dr. Laski last night discussed the
foreign policies of England and the
United States at a round table con
ference in which members of Con
gress, representatives of the State De
partment and others interested in In
ternational relations participated.
It was stressed that in both coun
tries there exists a need of closer
co-operation between the chief exec
utive and members of the legislature
on matters of foreign policy. Speakers
pointed out that another common
fault is the tendency of diplomatic
representatives to draw their in
formation from narrow social sets '
which surround them.
With relation to the importance of
an cnliahtened public opinion on for- :
eign affairs, it. was said that the ]
American press presents a truer pic- j
turc of world conditions than the
British press.

BETTER BUSINESS
HEAD IS SPEAKER
Discusse* Fraudulent Practices
in Advertising—Chamberlin
Is Honor Guest.
Fraudulent advertising practice in
the District was the subject of a dis
cussion led by Joseph W. Marshall,
director of the Washington Better
Business Bureau, at a luncheon of the
Advertising Club at the Raleigh Hotel
yesterday. Clarence Chamberlain,
noted aviator and trans-Atlantic flyer,
was the guest of the club.
Answering a series of questions con
cerning the work of the Better Busi
ness Bureau in investigating fraudulent
and misleading advertising, Mr. Mar
shall said that most local retailers try
to make ads truthful and believable,
but that some still make use of ques
tionable and misleading copy in order
to sell merchandise.
Mrs. Sallie Muchmore of the Better
Business Bureau staff, with Mr. Mar
shall, and James W. S. Hardey, chair
man of the bureau’s Merchandise Ad
visory Committee, answered the ques
tions.
Washington advertisers voluntarily
co-operate in self-regulation of their
advertising, or fare the possibility of
Government intervention to protect
the consumer, the bureau representa
tive stated.
Mr. Chamberlain spoke briefly con
cerning his experience in flying the
Atlantic Ocean, and of the first solo
flight of his backer. Charles Levin**. \
Alvin Q. Ehrlich, first vice president
of the club, presided.

Connecticut avenue N.W.

gallery, will talk on "Peace Through
Organic Harmony.” The purpose of

national amity through mutual In
terest in the arts.

That is Why
I Prefer a Palais Royal
"Letter-of-Credit"
The words “Government Employee” en
title me to credit almost anywhere. I
take pride in this good “credit standing,”
that’s why I carefully plan how to dis
tribute each pay check. Out of my first
of-the-month check I pay rent, light,
telephone, etc'. . . . that makes a big
dent in my check. Then’s when I’m
grateful I do my department store buy
ing on a “Letter-of-Credit,” for instead
of having to pay my bill in full, all I
have to pay is one-third. Evidently The
Palais Royal had Government Employees
in mind when they planned their “Let
ter-of-Credit” and I give them my vote
of thanks.
