DISTRICT MAY KEEP During Non Rush Hours Es- pecially Stanchions at Treas- | ury Will Not Be Replaced. After observing movement of traffic north and south on Fifteenth street at New York avenue during the past 24 hours, Col. 1. C. Moller. acting traf- | fic director, stated today that the open- ing up of this intersection has worked satisfactorily thus far. Moller said the experiment would be continued for the next few days. He added that his observations indlcated it will be possible to keep the street open permanently during nofr-rush hours and that he hoped to keep it open at all times. However, he added that, should too much con- gestion ocour during rush hours, the stanchions and chains used there for nearly a yvear would be moved back into place for the rusi hour. At the present time traffic officials believe it will be possible to keep the crossing open at all times to all but traffic from | the west. Col. Moller is considering plans for the installation of an ‘automatic traf- fle signal light at this corner as a part of the plan to keep Iifteenth street open. The light, if approved by the Commissioners, will he of suc tyge that a policeman could operate it manually in_times of extreme con- gestlon or confusion. JUDGE ATKIi\lSON HERE. Florida Woman to Be Ipstalled as Fraternity Head. Judge Edith M. Atkinson of \ho Ju- wvenile Court of Dade Coun! - rived in Washington teday stallation as national pre~'lr‘mm of lhe Phi Delta Delta Women's Legal Fra- ternity. The ceremony will take place this evening at the home of Mrs Mabel Waiker Willebrandt, the retir- ing active president of the fraternity. | Judge Atkinson’s husband is also a judge. He sits on the bench of the Municipal Court in Miami. Mrs. At- kinson was a practicing attorney in Miami when her husband was elected to the bench. Judge Atkinson believes that the proper slogan for juvenile courts should be “Prevention rather than de- tention,” and during her term in of fice she has sent few juvenile delinquents to the State institutions, and with the assistance of able proba- tion officers she keeps in close touch with the hoys and girls who appear before her.

Nor is the worry over this problem confined entirely to us. who are to be the giraffe’s hosts once he reaches Washington, for .both the officials of the Siithsonian Institution and of the “hrysler Automobile Co., which ar- nged and financed the expedition, have sent several cablegrams to Dr. William M. Mann, head of the expedi- tion, asking for the information. Notoa word has come from Dar-es- Salaam, however, since Dr. Mann's brief message announcing that he would sail on September 4, which is tomorrow. We can't possibly prepare a suitable reception for our guest unless we know when he will arrive, and the ship he embarks on will mean much. If he goes around by way of London it will take at least six weeks to reach Washington. Should a spe- cial ship be available. however, the dash to Baltimore could be made direct and in much less time.
