A—-14 % LOCAL DRY SECTOR | LEADS COUNTRY IN BEER CONFISCATION 129,271 Gallons Seized in Maryland, Virginias, Caro- linas and D. C. COL. WO0ODCOCK REPORTS | ON NATION-WIDE GAINS Statistical Summary of Six Months| of Prohibition Enforcement Re- veals 8,000 Years of Sentences. The district which includes the Na- tional Capital, led the country during| December for the amount of beer seized | and confiscated by prohibition agents, according to’ statistics made public by Director of Prohibition Amos W. W.| Woodcock. The amount of beer seized in the Dis- triet, which comprises Maryland, the Virginias, the Carolinas and Washing- ton, D. C, was 129,271 gallons, Col.| ‘Woodcock reported. The criminal cases on the docket No- vember 29, 1930, totaling 2,264, were increased during the month of De- cember by 970, the report showed, while during the month there were 587 ar- rests made and 300 persons held by the United States commissioner. Jail Terms Average 336.8 Days. Ninety-three ctiminal cases were terminated by conviction in jury trials and 540 by pleas of guilty, while 139 were terminated by acquittal or were nolle prossed. There remained 2,462 unfinished cases on the docket at the end of the calendar year throughout this judicial district. Average jail sen- tences in the District for the month amounted to 336.8 days and the average fine was $115.29. Seizures in the area during the month included 150 automobiles, 119 stills and_distilleries, 1,595 beer fer- menters, 129,271 galions of beer and 13,650 gallons of spirits. Six-Month Record Recited. The record for the country during the | six-month regime of Col. Woodcock as director of prohibition was shown to include seizure of more than 4,000,000 | gallons of beer and 711,000 gallons of liquor. ‘The statistical summary by Col. Wood- cock followed close upon the departure from Washington of two more members | of the Wickersham Law Enforcement Commission, with both indicating their own prohibition problem had ended and the solutions to be offered by the com- | mission were nearing the start of their Journey to the White House. Col. Woodcock, in summarizing six months of dry law enforcement, said fines of $2,314,837 had been assessed against violators, along with jail sen- tences totaling approximately 8,000 years. Bureau Policy Reflected. In a summary of prohibition work for December, Woodcock also made known that for the first time in months the number of cases disposed of exceeded those placed on the court dockets. He interpreted this as a reflection of the bureau’s plan to capture the large com- mercial violators of the law, getting “bigger and better” cases whenever pos- sible. ‘The two Wickersham commission members to leave the Capitol were Judge William S. Kenyon of Fort Dodge, Jowa, and Monte Lemann, New Orleans lawyer.

Most of the Papal documents are sent there to be put into form for transmission to the bishops and through them to the communicants in every country of the world. The English text of the 16,000-word message was begun after Christmas, when the Pope’s Latin original was still undergoing the minute revision that continued until a few days ago. At the same time work was started on the Italian, French and German versions, but the two latter have not yet been issued.

MANY TRAITS OBJECTED TO HELD BENEFICIAL Strict Obedience and Suppression of Noise Frowned on By Those Seeking Full Development. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Children must be terrible nuisances. Thirty-two Washington fathers and mothers were “annoyed” by their chil- dren 2,124 times in a single week, it was shown in an experiment just conducted by Dr. Mandel Sherman, director of the ‘Washington Child Research Center. All these had small families. More- over, Dr. Sherman says, they were a highly selected group, all with much more than the average training in child psychology and all in comfortable cir- cumstances. These were asked to re- port all acts of their children which were “unpleasant” to them — from catching cold to heaving a brick through the best mirror. Parents Held to Blame, Analysis of the reports convinces Dr. Sherman that children are not nui- sances just because they are children with a lot of devilishness just naturally in them, but because they have parents with fixed ideas of their own. An an- noyance, he finds, usually depends as much on the mental set, problems and feelings of the parent as on the act of the child. Here are a few things fathers and mothers were annoyed at: The child cried and its falling tears made spots on its. best dress. The child smiled instead of crying when it was scolded for disobedience. The child arranged her knife, fork and doily exactly before starting to eat. | Looks Annoyed Father, One father was annoyed every time he looked at the child because it re- minded him of worthless relatives on the mother's side. A mother reported: “I was annoyed by the child’s sniffies at 9:15, 9:30, 9:45, 10:10, 11 and 11:30.” Several were annoy because their children awoke too early in the morn- her child said “excuse me” too often: Dr. Sherman does not contend that his selected parents were a fair cross- section of the general population. Be- cause of their understanding of children it was assumed that they would be annoyed much less frequently than most parents. The most frequent cause of annoyance was disobedience, followed closely by noise. Next in order came slowness, tardiness, laziness, restlessness, messi- ness, bad habits and interruptions. Now in order to have disobedience, Dr. Sher- man_contends, there must be orders to be disobeyed. ' The child would never disobey if the parent never ordered it to do anything. And, he says, “psy- chologists are trying to interest parents in not requiring strict obedience of their children.” The parent, he contends, is likely to become too authoritative, whic develops feelings of inferiority in the child. There is some reason to believe, he contends, that most of the dishar- mony in homes is due to authoritative adults. : Noise-Making Necessary. As for nolse—if parents insist on be- ing annoyed by it it's just too bad. For Dr. Sherman contends that the normal { physical and mental development of a | child necessarily involves a lot of noise- | making. It might be prevented, but the | choice is between the serenity of the adult and the good of the child. It becomes, he admits, a serious prob- {lem in an apartment house, where other | families are disturbed. This raises, he says, a serious question as to whether | life in such a restricted place, where the | child must be kept quiet and made to “grow up quickly” is not detrimental to natural development. It is one of the complexities of the changing social or- der, and folks who must meet the prob- lem deserve the sympathy of the psy- chologist. |~ ‘The child psychologist has much less sympathy for those who want the child to make less noise so that it will be “a little gentleman or lady.” The plain fact is, he contends, that children are one thing and . gentlemen or ladies something altogether different. “Such |attitudes,” he says, “often make the | psychologist wonder whether the term ‘natural’ can be applied to the growth of the modern child.” | Slowness Not Always Bad. ‘The annoyance at slowness or lazi- ness, he says, generally is not because the ‘child actually is slow or lazy in activities which are important in its life, but only in activities important to | the parents. Some of the children com- plained of most on this score were known by Dr. Sherman to be very en- ergetic. One child, for example, in- sisted on dressing itself and naturally was slow and awkward. The mother complained because this required so much time when she could dress the child much more quickly. But Dr. Sherman believes the benefit to the child of dressing itself greatly over- weighs the annoyance of the mother. One of the most frequent of annoy- ances, he found, was when a child breaks into a conversation between adults. But, he says, so far as the child is concerned it is aware neither of the importance of the conversation nor any reason why it should not ask a question at any time. Toy Problem Real. ‘The annoyance caused by children in- ! terfering with the property of others,' especially the toys of other children, he says, is a real one, and much can be | done to lessen it by the designing of | co-operative toys which can be used by children of various ages in the same family or group. The annoyance data were subjected to extensive statistical analysis by grad- | uate students at George Washington | University here, and generally a time relation was shown between the peak of the annoyance reports and the day. This in itself, Dr. Sherman holds, shows that the parent is at least as much responsible for being annoyed as the child for getting into mischief. The probability, he explains, is not that the children are more noisy or boisterous on one day than another, but that adults feel different on different days. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

Note.—This is the fourth of a series of stories analyzing the District's budget for the 1932 fiscal vear, which is now under consideration by the House Subcommil- tee on Appropriations. BY JAMES E. CHINN. The first definite step to improve the sanitary condition of the valley of Piney Branch between Sixteenth street and Rock Creck has been taken by District. officials, it was disclosed before the House Subcommittee on Appripria- tions, which is conducting hearings on the District appropriation bill for the 1932 fiscal year. J. B. Gordon, sanitary engineer of the District, told the committee that his_request for appropriations totaling $1,511,000 included an item of $125,000 to begin construction of the proposed Piney Branch trunk sewer—a_project designed primarily to improve the sani- tary condition of the Piney Branch Valley. The project, he explained. is approved by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and the in- clusion of the item for starting con- intensive study of the Piney Branch sanitary problem, which followed re- peated complaints from the Mount | Pleasant Citizens' Association. Will Cost $600,000, The sewer will involve a total esti- mated cost of $600,000. It will elim- inate all house sewage from the open valley of Piney Branch, thereby re- moving pollution from Piney Branch Parkway. While not improving the sanitary condition of Rock Creek, it would, with the single exception of the Luzon Valley sewer, remove all storm- water overflow from the stream within the_boundaries of Rock Creek Valley. The extension of the Piney Branch sewer to Rock Creek, according to Mr. Gordon, will be so designed as ulti- mately to form an integral part of the proposed comprehensive program for relieving Rock Creek of all pollu- tion within the District. The sanitary engincer, however, pointed out that while the $600,000 expended for the trunk sewer is within the bounds of good economy, the large sum required for the entire removal of sewage from Rock Creek, which he estimates at be- tween $5,750,000 to $6,775,000, is not considered justifiable at this time, as the benefits to be obtained are mnot believed to be proportional to the neces- sary expenditure. Mr. Gorden also de- clared that District authorities have no control over the upper reaches of Rock Creek. which constitutes about 80 per cent of its entire watershed. Fund For Interceptor. The $125,000 request for the trunk sew is the largest individual item in the sanitary engineer’s program for the oming fiscal year. Another major item, however, calls for an appropria- tion of $50,000 for continuing construc- tion of the Upper Potomac interceptor, which flanks the river upstream from Rock Creek. Its function is to intercept all sewage draining toward the river from the area west of Rock Creek, as well as to permit the diversion of Mary- land sewage now discharging into the river north of the District line. The interceptor is now more than 60 per cent completed. The appropriation requested for 1932, Mr. Gordon said, will carry it along Canal road from Sherrier place to Weaver place. Aside from the two major projects, Mr. Gordon's program includes more than 70 smaller installations, such as extensions, sanitary sewers, stormwater sewers, combined system sewers, sub- urban sewers, and the reconstruction of old and defective sewers. The public school items, totaling $13,179,250, will be considered by the While the total appropriation sought is $713,140 less than appropriated for the current fiscal year, it will permit the construc- tion of four new buildings, the com- pietion of three others and the erec- tion of additions to seven more. Will Eliminate 12 Portables. In other words, these additional school house accommodations are de- signed to eliminate 12 portables, 26 part-time classes and 51 oversize classes. Thus, upon the basis of the number of portables, part time and oversize classes as of November 1 last, there would remain upon final com- pletion of all building projects to be initiated or completed by the 1931 ap- propriation act and the appropriations recommended for 1932 only eight port- ables, 12 part-time classes and 129 oversize classes. In all, the 1932 bill carries $2,860,000 in new construction and school site items, an amount that is $948,200 be- low the appropriation for the same pur- pose this year. Of the total sought, $2,430,000 is for buildings and $430,- 000 for grounds. ‘The largest single item in the new construction program is $400,000 for continuing work on the new Roosevelt High School which is to replaece Busi- ness High School. Next is $300,000 for completion of the Brown Junior High School, for colored pupils, in northeast Washington. A start on the proposed junior high’ schools at Eighteenth and Otis streets northeast, in the Wood- ridge-Langdon section, is provided for by an item of $200,000. Another $200,000 is included for be- ginning construction of a new building to house the present Jefferson dJunior Other building items are, $100,000 for completion of the first unit of the Young platoon schools, for colored pupils in Northeast Washington; $140,- 000 for erection of an eight-room buil ing in the vicinity of Connecticut ave- nue and Upton street; $145,000 for the erection of an eight-room building in the vicinity of Burleith; $165,000 for an eight-room addition to the Doug- lass-Simmons School, including a com- bination gymnasium and assembly hall; 165,000 for an eight-room addition to e Harrison School, including a com- bination gymnasium and assembly hall; $80,000 for a six-room addition to the Orr School; $60,000 for a second-story addition of four rooms at the Key School; $200,000 for completing con- struction of the Macfarland Junior High School, including 10 class rooms, a gymnasium, lunch room and kitch- en; $180,000 for an addition to the Paul Junior High School, including 10 class rooms gymnasium; $40,000 for a gymnasium at the Randall Junior High School, and $55,000 for a gym- nasium and three class rooms connect- ing the Hine Junior High School and the old Towers School, which is used ANUARY 10, 1987’ ARTIST SUES FATHER-IN-LAW TWO CHARGES A. H. Lamp of New York Alleges Alienation and False Arrest. Clarence A. O’Brien, Patent Attorney Here, D. C. Su- preme Court Defendant. Adrian H. Lamp, New York artist, has filed suit in the District Supreme Court against his father-in-law, Clar- ence A. O'Brien, 1615 Crittenden street, patent attorney, for $75,000 damages on charges of alienation of affection and false arrest. Lamp, who eloped with O'Brien’s daughter, Mrs. Ruth A. Cady, Novem- ber 12, 1929, declares he lived happily with his wife until last November, when he claims O'Brien persuaded her to de- sert him in New York and return to Washington. He places this damage at $50,000. An additional claim for $25,000 is made by the son-in-law, who charges that when he came to Washington, No- vember 18 last, to see his wife he was arrested at Union Station and held for 18 hours on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, which, on investiga- tion, proved to be a razor he used for shaving purposes only. After that charge had been dropped, he says, he was rearrested and ar- raigned before a United States com- missioner on a charge of making false | statements in a passport application in | New York. This charge was afterward | dropped, he says. Attorney Michael J. Lane represents the plaintiff. COMMITTEE NAMES TAX CONSULTANT | Detroit Man to Make Study for House Group on Fis- | cal Relations. Appointment of George Lord of De- | troit as tax consultant to the special | select committee studying the fiscal re- lations between the Federal and Dis- trict governments was announced today by Representative Mapes of Michigan, | chairman of the body. Lord's appointment, it was said, fol- lowed the House's action yesterday in appropriating $10,000 from its con-| tingent, funds for use by the group in | its study. Lord, who has been tax consultant | to the Detroit €learing House Associa- tion, will have headquarters in the House Office Building, room 293 having been assigned to him by the committes. Before assuming his new duties, he is expected to tour various American cities, analyzing their tax systems so that an equitable basis of comparison can be determined for use of the body. It is probable, Representative Mapes declared, that the investigation of the | fiscal relations between the two govern- | ments will extend beyond March 4, the closing date for the present session. The $10,000 appropriation, he added, will be sufficient to carry the work to completion, but if it is found necessary to continue the work beyond the clos- ing date, a special resolution, extending the life of the group, will have to be | adopted. | KING TO GI\;E ADDRESS | | Senator From Utah Will Talk to Soroptomist Club. i William H.

DOAK 0.K'S DAY WEEK FOR FEDERAL FORCE OF WORKERS L] Makes Stand Known to Em ployes’ Delegates at Con- ference in Capital. PROMISES AID IN EFFORT TO BRING ABOUT PLAN Council Opposes Appointments Out- side Civil Service—Law on Leave-Granting Asked. Secretary of Labor Doak, voice of organized labor in the President’s cabi- net, today stands on record as favor- ing the five-day week for Government employes. As delegates to the executive council meeting of the National Fed- eration of Federal Employes scattered to their homes today, after a three- day session, they took with them a mes- sage from Secretary Doak that he in- tends to do all in his power to further steps to bring about the five-day week in the Government service. A move in this direction is the Dallinger measure to legalize the Saturday half-holiday throughout the Federal service, which has passed the Scnate and now is in conference. “There is no question in my mind.” Secretary Doak told the members of the council, who called on him yester- day,” that the five-day week is an ab- Jective which we should and will attain in the near future. I have always been a strong advocate of it and I am more firmly convinced than ever that it is a progressive step on which no_tim should be lost in_putting into effe President Luther C. Steward of the federation told Mr. Doak that the full co-operation of the organzation may be assured toward putting into effect policies looking to the welfare of Work- ers generally and especially those in the Federal employ. Favors Indian Citizenship. The council meeting wound up with adoption of a resolution calling on the Indian Bureau and members of Con- gress to resist every tendency to weaken the civil service status of any portion of the personnel of that branch of the Government service. The resolution pointed out that the Federation is in sympathy with the ultimate attainment of full citizenship by all Indians at present Government wards. At the same time the bureau and Congress would be petitioned to strengthen and extend the civil service in the Indian Bureau. With a bullet wound in his head and a_.38-caliber revolver lying nearby, John Howard Marlowe, 35, who is said to | have been out of work for several months, was found dead today in his apartment, at 1319 Park road. The discovery was made after James Fairfax, colored, janitor of the apart- | ment house, had been unable to get |any response when he called to collect Marlowe’s rent, which, he said, was several days in arrears. Fairfax summoned Patrolman J. W. Doran of the tenth precinct, who was passing the building. Doran broke open the door of the apartment, which is located on the second floor, and found Marlowe’s body lying on the floor of the bath room. Coroner J. R. Nevitt ordered the body removed to the District Morgue, pend- ing further investigation. He declined to say how long Marlowe had been dead. So far as police could learn, no one in the apartment house had heard the report of the revolver. Marlowe was identified by Russell A.
