K.d TUBERCULOSIS AND JUNIOR HIGH PLANS.' NEW CHURCH UNION FOR BIRTH CONTROL Congregational and Christian |Feiker, Now Bureau Chief, Dr. Kelly at Public Institute. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staft Correspondent of The Star UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, July 3. ~—American schools of the last genera- tion, because they created a false philosophy of life in the minds of chil- dren, are in large part respensible for the present disrespect for law, Dr. F. J. Kelly of the White House Confer- ence on Child Health and Protection told the Institute of Public Affairs here. Dr. Kelly especially criticized the report card system. This, he said, re- sulted in the pupil working for marks} rather than for real mastery of the sub- ject. Both teachers and parents meas- ured his prcgress in terms of marks. This, he believed, resulted in an atti- tude of insincerity in childhood, from which it has been an easy transition to an attitude toward law characterized by fear of being caught. The police- man and judge now issue the “‘marks,” taking the place of the teacher. A report of the White House Con- ference scon to come from the press, it was announced, goes deeply into an analysis of the present-day American home and the environment in which children form their attitudes. Among tha findings reported by Dr. Kelly are thot only one rural home in 90 sub- scribes to a children’s magazine, that organizations ljke the Boy Scouts reach only one be t of four and that one cut of every eight children is under- nourished. Huge Movie Attendance. A striking revelation was that only one person in 17 ever makes use of a| public library, while 115,000,000 admis- ons to movies are sold each week. Dr. lly also stressed a decline of 20 per cent in the American birth rate in the last 15 years. i ing birth rates emong the social classes from which our leaders come,” said Dr. Kelly, “the increase in divorce rates, which lcave children with a great handicap; the persistence of fecble-mindedness, the large amount of physical defects among children, the crowding of cities and other things af- fecting the lives of children are genu- inely the concerns of statesmen. What the next generation thinks, how it feels and what it aspires to will play a larger part in solving the problems of capital and labor, crime, lawlessness and in- ternational relations than all the de- bates held and statutes enacted on :{wse subjects by the present genera- jon.” ‘There is no conclusive evidence that moderate amounts of alcohol are injuri- ous to the human system, Dr. A. J. Carlson, professor of physiology at the University of Chicago, told the in- stitute. He protested against reported plans of the Prohibition Bureau to spread propaganda to that effect. ‘There is no doubt that excessive drinking is bad, Prof. Carlson said, just as is excessive use of salt, pro- teins in meat, or water. Available sta- tistics on the effects of moderate drink- ing are of little value, he insisted, be- cause they fail to take other variables, such as age and heredity, into con- sideration, More Investigation Need. “As a physiologist of 30 years' ex- arience,” he said, “all I can say is ati this is an open question. I pro- against our Government starting such propaganda. What we need re investigation.” hn C. Gebhart, director of re- scarch of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, said that while statistics of some insurance companies indicate that the lives of moderate drinkers are shortened, the figures of Dr. Raymond Pearl of Johns Hopkins University indicate that they live longer than total abstainers. There may be & hundred or more factors, aside from the use of alcohol, which the tables do noi take into account, he said. The result is, he said, that wets quote one set of statistics as the final authority and drys the other. “But,” broke in Dr. Carlson, “the scientist pays no attention to either of them. The only way to find out is in the laboratory.” o Mr. Gelhart eed with the Pro- hibition Bureau estimates of the amount of “hard liquors” produced in the United States. “We have,” he sald, *‘carefully checked the Bureau's esfi- mates with our own. We estimate the annual consumption of wine at 110,000,- 000 gallons. The bureau’s estimate is 118,000,000 gallons. Our estimate of beer consumpticn is 790,000,000 gallons, while they estimate 684,476,000 gallons. but the estimates of the amount of | ‘mpirits produced annually are far apart. Our figure is 280,000,000 gallons, against $heir estimate of 73,386,718. Estimates in Agreement. The bureau’s estimate of the amount of hard liquor made from corn sugar substantially agrees with ours. The two estimates cf the amount of industrial mlcohol illegally diverted also substan- tially agree. But the bureau’s estimates of alconolic liquors made from cane and beet sugar, molasses and directly from grains are mere guesses. Accord- ing to the bureau’s report from January to July, 1930, the amount of corn sugar recovered from seizures were equivalent to 1,700,355 gallons while the can and beci sugar seizures were equivalent to 1,816,622. The amount produced from cane and beet sugar should equal the amount produced irom corn sugar. “The annual per capita consumption pf spirits ncw is 1.65 gallons. In 1924 it was 1.44 gallons, an increase of neariy 35 per cent. Wine consumption has fncreased 70 per cent and-beer con- pumption has decreased 15 per cent.” Tne law has no rule to guide it in determining the justification of & po- liceman or other .law enforcement officer in shooting in making an arrest, gaid Prof. John V. Waite of the Uni- versity of Michigan, member of a com- mittee of eight prominent lawyers ap- pointed by the American Law Institute to study this question. It is generally agreed, he sala, that use of & weapop is not justified if there is any other pcssible’ means of making the arrest and only when the officer is certain that the culprit knows who he is. Dificrence of Opinion. From this point on, Prof. Waite said, the cight members of the committee have each a difierent opinion, one hold- ing that such procedure is never justi- ficd. This view, he said, Tests on the that the policeman never can be certain, howcver suspicious the circum- stances, that the man he is seeking to arrest actually is guilty.

In the morning program the Dis- trict Guasdsmen also won a cash prize, finishing third in the Eastern team out of a possible 1,200 points. A 1,169 tally gave the Frankfort Arsenal Rifle Club, Philadelphia, Pa., first place, sil- ver medals and possession of their own trophy.

UNIVERSITY, Va, July 3 (#)—Dr. John H. Laiane of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity said totday at the Institute of Public Affairs that as “a weak and feeble republic” the United States was champion of international arbitration, but since “becoming the wealthiest and most powerful nation on earth” does not care to be hampered by arbitration treaties and the like. Dr. Latane said his statement doubt- Jess would occasion some surprise, but John Bassett Moore, the historian: Elihu Root, former Secretary of Stat the late Willilam Howard Taft and the late Senator Henry Caboi ex- pressed similar opinions, he sald, when arbitration pacts were under considera- tion by the United States. Dr. Latane, who is a professor in the Walter Hines Page School of Interna- tional Relations at Johns Hopkins, and James Oliver Murdock, assistant solici- tor of the Department of State and lec-1{ turer on ifiternational law at George Washington University, discussed the evolution of inter-American arbitration. | The opposition of the United States | to the League of Nations, said Dr. La- tane, has led to a change of policy on the part of the United States with ref- erence to the arbitration of Amenr questions. Before the Leagu2 of Na- tions was organized, he said, the United States witnessed without objection the submission of Ameriean disputes of various kinds to foreign rulers, but un- der a policy promulgated by Charles Evans Hughes, when Secretary of State, “American questions must now be de- cided in America.” * He said that because the law of Latin American countries is founded on the civil lJaw of Napoleon and that of the United States on the British common law, it is often desirable that Eur:‘pttn jurists, versed in the civil law, sit as arbiters in South American /disputes. He also said that because many of the Latin-American countries lg mem- bers of the League of Nations fhis pol- On Job 50 Years HOWE CELEBRATES HALF CENTURY OF SERVICE. GEORGE A. HOWE. George A. Howe, a member of the inspection steff of the department of weights, measures and markets, yesterday celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his | first appcintment to the District service. Mr. Howe became a messenger in the office of the District Commissioners at the age of 13 on July 2, 1881, and is believed to have been the youngest per- son ever appointed to the District service. In September, 1886, he was promoted to a clerkship in the office of the as-| sessor, where he served until March 15, 1890. Then he resigned and went t6 ‘Toledo, Ohio. In June, 1893, he was appointed an inspector in the Health Department, where he remained until November, 1900, when he was trans- ferred to the weights and measures de- partment, where he has served continu- ously for the past 30 years.

Development of the Bureau of For- elgn and Domestic Commerce of the Depertment of Commerce to the point where the American business man may look to it for leadership in both domestic and foreign trade is the aim of Frederic M. Feiker, the new chief of the bureau, who took office Tuesday. Feiker is the first man ever named head of the bureau whose connections have been primarily with domestic busi- ness. Although coming from outside the department, he is ted with its work. He was essistant to Herbert Hoover when the latter was Secretary of Commerce, and he helped develop the commodities divisions. Co-ordination Stressed. He also served on the Census Dis- tribution Committee and the Louisville Conference on Retail Distribution and in an advisory capacity in selecting department_personnel. “The bureau has several hundred activities under way,”.Felker told the Associated Press in an interview, “and the first thing is to stud$ these and co-ordinate the work so we will know exactly what we are doing.” “It is my idea we should plan ahead rather than talk about planning. We want the merchant and manufacturer to look to the department for leader- ship. Not the leadership in authority, but through showing the best prac- tices in business. “We cannot show each individual unit in every industry the best business practices, but we can serve committees representing individual lines of busi- ness. “It is our hope” he said, “to set up | an organized relation between trade groups in this country on both export and domestic trade. Hits Empty Talk. “Manufacturers have learned to look to the department for foreign trade policies and are just beginning to come to it on the question of domestic trade. “We ought to talk less about plan- ning and do something. Just because plans haven't been called 20 or 30 year lans is no reason little attention should paid to them. We must plan ahead. “An example of planning ahead is the study the Interior Department made 10 years or so ago of the electrical industry. At that time the department pointed out as possibilities the things that have been done in the way of super-power distribution, “Another example of what can be done is the study by the machinery division of the disiribution of flour miil machinery and the study of distribu- tion methods made at Louisville. “The machinery division's graphs dis- close potential markets in unexpected places. The Louisville study, the first of its kind, disclosed wasteful practices, and distributors, by correcting these, have been able to save money.” FEIKER TO ADDRESS TRADE EXECUTIVES Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Director to Speak at Meeting.

In his stead the bureau today set up the. ideal as an American child who :vpl:end: wisely, saves wisely and gives 1y. “Children should not be taught to be little misers,” the child wxperts ad- monished in a special study, “The Child and His Money.” “A savings bank into which pennies disappear never to be used has rela- tively little training value.” ‘The bureau advocated that children be encouraged to spend money as g means of learning its use and value. It suggested a budget plan of putting small change into bright-colored en- velopes — “red envelopes for saving money, blue fot spending money, green for giving away money, and so on.” The study was summarized in 10 financial training suggestions: 1. Give the child a regular fixed al Jowance; teach him not to beg and tease for additional money. = 2. Let him learn by experience that denial must follow extravagance, 3. Teach the child not to expect pay for duties he ought to perform. 4. Encourage him to earn extra money by giving him a real job, pref- erably one which had real commercial value, pay him no more and no less than it is worth, K 5. Be sure any work he does outside the home is not physically ha: and does not expose him to in- fluences. 6. Don't “tip” the child for rendering small services to his elders or for being “good” or polite, 7. Teach the child the value of sav- ing for a definite purpose instead of for the mere sake of saving, let him learn the folly of spending all his money at once and of going into debt to buy something he wants. 8. Teach him that saving things that cost money is as important as saving money. 9. Help the child to realize the im- portance of giving as well as of spend- ing and saving. 10. Remember that the example of financial responsibility parents set will influence the child’s attitude. HELD WITH LIQUOR Willlam E. Wright, 19, to Be Ar- raigned on Poseession Charge. Willam E.

Your Dollar Has Greater Buying Power Than at Any ‘Time Since the World War The saving on standard grade of silk hosiery averages about 20%, and on many individual items the reduction is greater. Our most popular number of Granite Silk Hose sold last year at $1.95, and is now marked at $1.65. Silks by the yard are lower even than in 1914, before the World War began. We are offering thousands of yards of silk at half, nearly half, and less than half the price it bore at the beginning of the present Spring season. We do not know how long such prices will last. Dresses for women, misses, girls and children are remarkably low priced. $19.50 is now buying, in our regular stock, women's ar_ld misses’ dresses that equal those available a year ago at $25, and this season’s $16.50 dresses would have sold for $22.50 last year. In addition to these, are many special opportunities, offered from day to day and not included as a part of our regular stock or price lines. Cotton dress goods, cotton dresses and practically all arnicles made of cot- ton are so low priced now as to be the cotton values of a generation. ’ So it is throughout the store. But, Woodward & Lothrop does not compro- mise with quality, because there is no substitute for quality. No matter what you buy here or how low its price, the fifty-one years of honest mer- chandising and fair dealing are back of it—and the assurance of satisfaction goes with it. Low price—plus high quality—equal genuine economy. Closed All Day Tomorrow, Satur- day, July 4th, and All Saturdays to and including -September "5th
