TRAGIC MOMENT IN GLEN ECHO
Automobilist and Lady Caught Sans
License, Sans Money.
Released on Promise to Pay After
Fair Companions Jewels Are
offered as Pawn for Fine.

Town Marshal Collins. of Glen Echo.
yesterday displayed some more of what
local autoists term "pernicious activity
when he haled Valentine 3. Holman. Of
the Cairo, before Msyor Garrett, and
charged him with not having a Maryland
license.
II was discomforting to the autoist TO
pun submissively up 20 the mayors resi-
dence as a prisoner. and his discontinue
was not Iessened by the fact that he was
accompanied by Miss Barbara Kauff
mann, OF Washington.
But all previous feelings Of embarrass-
Inent were ecupsed by The cruel words Of
Mayor Garrett.
The fine In this case VIII be $40
The unfortunate young man had come
from home without that much money. and
as the Glen Echo official has recently
passed a strictly CASH rule. Mr.. Hol-
mans predicament was not d pleasant
one.
At first he clustered a bit, but the
mayor was undaunted by the mention Of
prominent names; then he became pa
thetic, but the official was obdurate Final
ly. in desperation. he suggested leaving
some of the young lady's jewels as secur-
ity, rather than remain for a while in the
custody of the lone Glen Echo policeman.
Whereat Mayor Garrett laughed.
That was the autoist's salvation, and ia
a few moments he was speeding down the
road. having left his promise that he
would send the necessary-Sl0 by the earli-
est mail.
Mayor Garrett was satisfied with this.
and Town Marshal Collins again assumed
his stand on the highway.

TRAILS YELLOW FEVER BUG
Dr.. Stimson Announces Discovery OF
Suspicious Organism.
Creature OF Microscopic Dimensions
Accused OF Being BespOnsibIe
for Dreaded Plague.

Is the Public Health and Marine Hos
pitaI Service at last on a hot trail Of the
yellow fever bug2 That is the question.
At any rate there have been doings OF
magnitude In the laboratory Of the United
states Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service. faint inklings Of which have
drifted forth now and then. These ru-
m0rs Of a possible important discovery
are confirmed IN a measure by the serv-
fee. which. in the Public Health Reports
Just from the press, publishes a Note on
an organism found in yellow fever It's
sue"
As is well known. the yellow fever germ
gels an introduction to gay man through
the blood. runs riot in the veins, and af-
fecJs the organs.
Now. in the organs Of a gentleman who
had the misfortune of such an intrOduc-
ton through the medium Of a mosquito,
DIR. A. NJ. Stims0n. an assistant surgeon
Of the Public Health and Marine Hos
pitaI Hospital Service, has found an or
ganism. or, to be popular but unscien-
tifc. a bug.
This bug has been captured by d..
stimson. preserved, measured, and given
a name. albeit but temporary makeshifl
of a name DR.. Stimson calls him IN
terr0gans," because Of his resemblance
TO a question mark. When the Surgeon
General is not looking and discipline re-
lakes. he is called the "Stimson" bug.
But this question-mark bug. this IN
terrogans." this possible yellow-fever bug
is no joke. At least Surgeon General
Wyman and DR.. Stimson take him
seriously, and so does the whole Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service. foI
in the last issue of the Public Health
Reports" this bug is discussed in great
earnestuess by DR.. Stmson.
II might be added FOR the guidance OF
any one who is looking for the Inter
rogans" with the naked, unaided eye. that
the bug is not very readily recognized By
the shadow that he throws. inasmuch as
he is only one-siXth of "a micron in
breadth. and "A micron itself is but a

PROBATIONERS GREET JUDGE
Monthly Consultation Takes Place
in Juvenile Court.
Children Hear Addresses On Coed
citizenship, Respect for Law,
and Moral Living.

Armed with their pink probation cards
% little boys and girls gathered Ia the
Juvenile Court yesterday to hold their
regular monthly consultation with Judge
De Lacy and his stan of probation
workers. School children and working
boys formed the two classes that faced
their triend the judge, All were dressed
in their Sunday best" but there We're
many ragged little coats and tattered
little skirts in the assemblage.
Judge De Lacy, Chief Probation Officer
Zed H. Copp, and Assistant Probation Of
fcer Gertrude 3. Darwin addressed the
little probationers on ideals of good citi-
zenship, respect for the law. and moral
living These little talks 20 the probation
children are a regular monthly feature of
the juvenile court work, and Judge De
Lacy is greatly gratihed by the beneficial
results obtained through these gatherings.
After the addresses each child talked in
dividually with the judge or probation Of
ficers. and reported his or her progress
during the month. Marked Improvement
was shown i'm the conduct of almost
every one Of the probationers.

The Juvenile Court has reached the

officers find it almost impossible to do
the best work with the small force at
present provided for. Judge De Lacy
has only five assistants, Joseph Harper,
clerk: Y. II Copp, chief probation officer;
Miss Darwin, assistant probation officer;
j. J. Hoey. deputy marshal, and William
a. Hickey, messenger, call officer, and
volunteer probation officer. Mr.. HOey also

sides performing his duties as marshal
The court has handled over 1900 cases.
In the majority Of cases the offenders are
released on probation, which is Identical
with the personal bond system in use in
the police courts, with the exception
that in juvenile court work the proba-
TONERS are kept in touch with throughout
their term of probation and their con-
duct noted. This requires constant visits
to their homes by the probation officers.
Every effort will be made during the
next session of Congress TO have an ap-
preparation made to increase the size Of
the courts staff.

ployed as superintendent for Kluckhuhn
Bros. and in this capacity was IN charge
of the installation of the new electric
plant az the Government Hospital for the
