Desirabllity of amendments to the present non-support law in the Dis- i trict were discussed before the Mon- day Evening Club, at a meeting held last night at the Cosmos Club, by Louls Ottenberg, chalrman of a spe- cial committee recently appointed to investigate the matter. Mr. Ottenberg said that the com- mittee, which was comprised of him- selt and George C. Shinn, belleved that the general plan of the act is good, but suggested four amend- ments, “which would be helpful.” The amendments were as follows: 1. To make non-support an ex- traditable offense. 2. To strike out the words “hard labor” wherever they appear. 3. To permit the family of the convicted man “$2 a day as the re- | sult of his servitude, instead of the 50 cents now allowed.” 4. To make the second conviction a felony instead of a misdemeanor, ! punishable by Indeterminate sen- | tence. | Only Partial Relief Effected. “It has been the experience of courts thia at the expiration of one | year during which a man may be { confined or for which period he may | be required to make weekly pay- monts he again refuses to support his wife or minor children and only | partial relief is therefore effected,” | Mr. Ottenberg said. “An amendment should, therefore, be made to the act providing that a second conviction under the act |should be a felony punishable by im- Iprisonment in the penitentiary with indeterminate sentence, and with the same provision as to probation and weekly support as is contained in the present act, with the same pro- vision for payment to the wife of $2 a day for each day the man shall work in the penitentiary. “Your committee believes that with these amendments the non-sup- port law could be administered ex- peditio and effectively In the f Columbia,” Mr. Ottenberg The report was referred to the gxecutive committee for considera- tion.

Wahlen, editor of Le Maas- bode of Rotterdam, in an address on European newspapers before the evening class in journalism at George Washington University yesterday. Mr. Wahlen's paper In the Nether- lands s a daily publication with morning and evening editions, and he is on an extended tour of the United States preparing a series of articles tor De Maasbode. “Although one is accustomed” he said, “to regard journalism as a busi- ness of keen initiative, rapid deci- sion, constant development and im- provement, leading or closely follow- ing the popular taste, a survey of its history shows, on the other hand, how gradual its growth has been." He then sketched the development of the modern press and said that it was to the excitement of the thirty- year war that the newspaper owed their first great stimulus. Holland was an impertant st nd the Englis imported from Amsterdam popular at once. The fight for freedom w described and menti of some of the great English news- paper men. Swift was called the prince of journalists by one authority. The history was brought down_ to the present time, and the speaker paid a tribute to Lord Northeliffe as one who had contributed much to modern methods.

Bherrill, officer in charge of the public buildings and grounds, has been working out a little problem of his own in connec- tion with the roadway to Hains point and the fleldhouse of the Fast Potomac Park golf course. Work has been started on a rather extensive program calling for parallel roads from the raflroad tracks to the clubhouse on the Washington cfannel | side of the park, and for widening | the entire roadway and providing of more parking space. The new roadway to the golf course will eliminate much of the confusion now occuring when cars bound for| the links meet the traffic leaving the point. The narrowness of the present | roadway makes travel rather hazard- ous at this point on Sundays and holidays at the present time. More Parking Space.

C, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, Cherry Trees Moved giving an opportunity to thin the trees out to some extent. At present they are so closely planted near each other that the branches intermingle. This not only has been detrimental to the trees but has also robbed them of much of their beauty. The trees are now being placed sufficiently far apart not only to glve them ample room for future growth, but also to appear at their best ad- vantage when in bloom. Included in the plans of Col. Sher- rill is the construction of a rest room at the Point near the tea house. The material is being gathered at_ the Point and construction will be under- taken shortly. Next spring when the cherry blos- soms are out In_their full beauty Washingtonians will find a broad parkway with ample room for travel nstead of the congested road that detracted from the pleasure of those who viewed the blossoms last vear. | They will also be under the impres- sion that a much greater number of trecs are present, as the spreading of them will make the display much more extensive. —— REMAINS ALIEN 30 YEAR'S.I Man Back From Europe as Stow- away Held for Deportation.

MITCHELL HEADS CHURCHMEN Rossel Edward Mitchell was elect- ed ' president of the Churchmen's Club of Washington at a luncheon at the Clty Club yesterday. Nor- ton M. Little was elected first vice prestdent and Dr. Thomas A. Groover second vice president. Other officers and directors will be elected at the next meeting, it was announced. Rev. Joseph Sibley, Presbyterlan pastor from Chicago, made a brief address in which he praised the pur- pose of the organization and said that it was significant that in th day of many organlzations the pas- tors and laymen of the various churches should want to get together to promote religious welfare. “We forget how many there are among the clergy who are not In touch with the church,” he continued. In conclusion, he sald that it was a splendid thing that the business men of today realized that the dol- lar was not the most important thing, but that service to the community 1s. It {s important to make the people know that we have the right spirit within the church and that we get together, shake hands and try to understand men as we do in every-( day life, he said. Mr. Mitchell stated that it was the plan of the organization to put before the people the idea that the | personality of Christ is the biggest thing in the life of a community TETLE' Makes good TEA a certainty Tea blending is an art. other blend can equal the delightful flavor of Tetley’s i Orange Pckoe. “Murco” Paint is made from our own formulae, in liquid, ready-to-use form. that you can absolutely depend upon for service and protection, because it’s made from— 100% pure lead, turpentine, linseed oil, Japan drier.
