Groehl of New York und Nathan 0. Freedman of this city. Told that Hance in his dying statement had said it wa Anderson and Charles “One-Arm” Wolfe who did the shooting, Chapman, referring to Anderson, exclaimed: “Why, the man wouldn’t be within a thousand miles of that place. It would be the last place in the world he would go to!” Chapman told his lawyers that he knew Wolfe, who is now held - by the Muncie police In connection with the murder, having met him when he and “Dutch” Anderson stayed at the Hance's farmhouse at Eaton, Ind. “I've known Anderson time,” he said, “and he of such a rotten deal, particularly after the Kind treatment Mr: Hance accorded Anderson and mj self when we stayed with them.

Use great care in the selection of competent play directors and in train- | ing them for the important work they are required to perform. High-Class Directors Vital. Probation Officer Sanford declares that the services of a playground di- rector are just as important to the community as those of the school teacher. He holds that right molding of child morals is just as essential as | education. For that reason, he as-| Serts, playground directors should be | paid sa‘arles comparable to those paid school teachers, and they should be employed on a year-round basis. Considering The Star's survey as a whole, many of the findings of the Children’s Bureau and of other juve- nile authorities with regard to causes and remedies for delinquency were not borne out here. The Juvenile Court statistics fail to corroborate, for instance, the Children’s Bureau report to the effect that “in general, those (children) having the poorest play facilities also had the greatest amount of delinquency,” for it was found that about half of Washington's delinquent children live within a five- block radius of playgrounds, while a map on which “delinquent” addresses were charted showed a clustering of children around the principal play- grounds.

Arguments against any change in this turning rule are many, while the beneflt claimed for the new system is that it affords beter protection for the pedestrian. Opponents, however, state their | that this fact has not been proven, | especially with the present pedestrian regulation in force, and that it would have to be shown conclusively that ilkers would benefit be- fore it would be wise to change one of the first rules of automobile traffic. Those who believe that no change should be made point out that motor ists of Washington at the present time are surfeited with traffic revi sions and that another experiment probably would not gain full co-opera- tion. They also, assert that while the right-hand-curb-left-turn may work well in some small town, that in city the size of Washington it is bound to cause confusion. It is also argued that a change would mean cutting down parking space in the downtown district be. cause 50 feet next to the curb is needed for all intersections; that noth ing but delay can be caused by hold- ing up traffic in such a manner and that turning left from the right-hand | curb at corners other than those con trolled by traffic_of (Continued on Page 2 drivers | combined mot sym mili Marine he PASTOR LOSES LIFE TRYING TO SAVE BOY | Rev.
