Marking the aocquisition of the first $100,000 for endowment of the child welfare department of Children’s Hos- pital, the Mary Gwynne memorial, a marble plaque framed in. bronze, will be unveiled at the Chfldren’s Hospital tomorrow at 12 o'cloek noon. Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, honorary president of the board of directors of the child wel- fare department, will unveil the plaque and Mrs. Frederick Foust, the new president, will preside. Mrs. Lewis Lehr, immediate past president, under whose regime a large portion of the $100,000 was raised, is out of the oity and will not be present. The tablet is erected to the memory of Mrs. Mary Gwynne, who started child welfare work in Washington and who was sponsor of the plan for its endowment. At the time this endow- ment was started several years ago the plan was to raise only $100,000, which, it was then calculated, would put this department on a self-supporting basis. Officials of the Children’s Hospital, however, decided' to place all cases for the prevention of disease in this depart- ment, and this action, coupled with a faster increase in child welfare cases than had been anticipated, entailed the outlay of more money than ths interest from $100,000 would provide. There was a deficit of about $4,000 the cur- Trent year, which was made up by funds from the Community Chest, of which the Children's Hospital is & member. That the action in moving prevention of disease cases to this department was the proper move has been proven by experts on hospital survey, who have stated that the Children's Hospital is several steps in advance of any other Hespital through taking this action. The unveiling is expected to be at- tended by a notable gathering of Wash- ingtonians, POLICE EDUCATED LIKE LAWYERS AND DOCTORS FORECAST (Continued From First Page.) explained it in the same way, and work- ed for the same sort of punishment, without reallzing that no two individ- uals are alike. Report on Tests Made. He reported on standardized objec- tive tests for policeman. An unselected group were shown a motion pieture reel of an event and then asked to report upon it—as a policeman would be required to do in real life to his superiors or to the court. The reports varied from 3 per cent to 87 per cemnt in accuracy and completeness, presum- ably a striking commentary on the value evidence of an unselected oup. Surveying the police schools already functioning, he said: “The great range of subject matter taught, together with @ study of the actual demands on police officers, shows & need of tralming at least equivalent to the demands in the professions of law and medicine.” The homeless child from 4 to 7 years old has a hard time finding a home, rted Walter C.

Mortality Compared. While the country boy at birth may expect nearly eight years longer life then his city brother and the country girl six more years than the city girl, according to reliable statisties, these do not give the whole picture, H. E. Barnard of the President’s Conference on Child Health and Protection told the group meeting on rural sociology. “In many important diseases, he said, rural mortality exceeds the urban. The World War medical examinations showed that the men from the country districts were but little more fit to be soldiers than the men from the cities and that the men who were born under slum conditions were physically able to g0 to battle for their country on a parity with boys from the farm. The University of Minnesota inspects the health of its freshmen students, and their show that the students raised on farms have more physical defects than those raised in towns or larger cities. Students from cities of more than 50,000 population show the Jowest number of physical defects. “Recent studies in New York showed that more than 21 per cent of the children in rural schools have diseased tonsils, while more than 16 ‘rr cent of village children suffered the sams difficulty. The country children, how- ever, show less underweight than vil- lage and city children.” ‘The problems of child life and well- being, he said, can be studied in much the same way as the problems of Lhel farmer are studied in station. Result of Study Reported. A theory of delinquency developing from chmginu “cultural contacts” was presented by Pauline Vislick-Young of Los Angeles as the result of the study of a closely integrated colony of Rus- sian immigrants of the same religious sect in Los cles. The first genera- tion shows little crime, but the study of juvenile delinquents shows that “as the age of the colony advances the the experiment number of delinquents increases, the extent of recidivism grows and the na- ture of the offenses grows more serious, ! MAN GETS EVEN WITH RAILWAY FOR HALTING HIM AT TOLL BRIDGE Smooths Over Road Across Ice and Motoristss Now Cross With By the Associated Press. SUPERIOR, Wis,, December 27.—As two cities look on and snicker, Oscar Nelson, 63, got revenge from the Great Northern Railway. He is hitting the road where it hurts—the pocketbook. Three years ago Oscar was halted when he tried to walk across the Great Northern's interstate bridge to Duluth, Minn., because he didn't have a nickel toll. He's been peeved ever since. But Winter and the Superior and Du- luth city councils unknowingly conspired to help Oscar get even. out Paying. St._ Louis- Bay froze over. The two govening bodies agreed: the other should. stand' the expense of smoothing off the jce hummocks that motorists might cross the bay instead of using the bridge. Here Oscar comes in. Armed with a n and shovel, he went to work %ut pay on the rough places Christ- m#s day. He completed the job: last ht. B at the chance to , rted us- ing Oscar’s road in preference to the ; Northern. The children are of average mentality, and there is no significant difference in the school act lishments of the delinquents and ns lelinquents. Fac- tors such as m disease, broken homes, poor physical condition and wmnily d nization have been en- tirely eliminated by careful study of each case. ‘The net result, the speaker said, was that delinquency increased as the native Russian institutions, such as school, church and home, lost their control over the children and the con- tacts with urban American life widen- ed. There is a direct correlation be- tween contacts with city life and' de- linquency. At the opening meeting of the Amer- fcan Economic Association at the Washington, Dr. Norman S. B. Gras of the Harvard School of Business Ad- ministration led a discussion on the evolution of economic' systems. Money, he pointed out, did no; arise first as a medium of exchange, but as a stand- ard of value, such as it has become once more in the credit system. Never Used in Bartering. Such money as the emormous stone coins found on the Island of Yap, he said, never were passed back and forth goods, and it was not until much later that people discovered that such stones eould be split inte smaller stones and used for eolus, to be used directly in exchange. The United States, he said, is lead- ing the world in the development of the “metropolitan” econoniic stage with mflnunq;hmd wanTrn:e h;;mrefl in great cities—a W] Buropean countries, with the exception of Eng- land, have lagged behind because of artificial boundaries. Thus, he said, Ger- man industry built up no city like Chi- cago, because the natural “metropolis” on industrial Western Germany would be Antwerp or Amsterdam, from which it was barred by national lines. Ham- burg, he said, is not ideally situated for such a metropolis and hence at- tempts to develop it as such have not been entirely successful. POLISH EDITOR DIES.

By the Assoclated Press. The action of a Coast Guard crew in opening fire on a boat on Lake Erie on which Eugene F. Downey, jr., of Buffalo, N. Y., was killed, was defended today in a statement.by Seymour Low- man, Assistant Secretary of the Treas- ury. Lowman, in the first utterance by a Government official on the killing of Downey on Christmas day, said the Coast Guardsmen proceeded under a section of the tariff act which gives. them full authority to. stop any boat at any time in American waters. for inspection. The fact that no liquor was found in the boat had no significanse, hs said, “because there was plenty of time to throw the liquor overboard into the lake.” Lowman’s statement termed the boat & “rum runner” and he said it failed to stop when signalled and' when blank shots were fired as a warning. Calls It “Rum Runner.” “The rum runner showed no. light§ and failed to stop,” the statement said. “Tokio: Nfilllfl. that the Ehimm he: pursuit, but because of the obstruction of floating ice lost track of the rum runner and it was fully half an hour before they discovered her tied to the pier and’ it was found there was a wounded man in the boat, the other man having disappeared.” The Assistant Secretary, who is in charge of the prohibition enforcement activities of the Treasury, sald the case had been turned over to the United States district attorney at Buffalo. and' that the Treasury would co-operate with local authorities to bring out all of the facts. Senator Copeland of New York had urged that State authorities be given jurisdiction. Look-out Reports Boat. Lowman's statement said: “At 4:40 p.m. December 25 the Coast: Guard look-out reported that a rum- runner was in Canadian waters pro- ceeding up the Niagara River. The boat lay for a little while off Erie Beach Dancing Pavilion, which is in Canadian waters, and then started over toward the American shore. “The officer in charge of the Buffalo Coast Guard station sent out Coast Guard boat 2245 to intercept the rum runner.
