EXAMS BEFORE MARRIAGE,

the appalling death rate we now have
among young children" DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, in an address at the Wilson
Normal School last evening, advoca ted
a eugenic law for the District. His
address was given before the commu
nifty social center conducted by the
Parents League of the third division
DR.. Wiley urged that the District
should have d law making it necessary
for persons contemplating matrimony
to pass examinations in nutrition. sani-
tation and ventilation. He spoke of
the manner in which information on
these topics might be spread through
such organizations as the social center.
There is Il great wave of misinfor-
nation sweeping over the country in
regard to nutrition and ventilation"
said DR.. Wiley. 1T is surprising to
learn how little is really known of
these two important subjects
Congress should taboo reserve bank,
currency and military preparedness
legislation and do something for hui
manity at its source to make a strong
and vigorous race of men and women
There is no other question before the
people so important as the conservation
of the human race"

Organized Two Years Ago.

Two years ago a Neighborhood House
auxiliary was organized by Miss Gene
We've Clark. consisting of her friends
in the younger set of Washington So
ciety.
Since then most of the members of
this auxiliary have married and moved
away from the capital, to start little
kindergartens in their own homes, so
that this organization gradually disin-
tegrated. Last year as there were SO
many appeals to the public for relief
funds for European countries suffering
through the war there was no benefit
held for this particular branch of the
Neighborhood House activities.
AS Miss Agnes Hart Wilson and Mrs.
James NJ. Clark, two of the leading
spirits and officers of the auxiliary,
have been placed on the board Of
Neighborhood House, they have plan
ned the entertainment this afternoon in
support of the work being done for
the kindergarten.
The patronesses are Mrs. Champ
Clark. Mrs. Christian Hemmick Mrs.
John j. White, Mrs. John &. Fremont,
Mrs. Charles J. Bell, Mrs. John W.
Thompson, Mrs. James NJ. Thompson.

SALE OF BONDS VALID.
APPELLATE COURT HOLDS
overrules D. c. Supreme Court in
Case Growing Out of Wild
dup Assignment.

The District Court of Appeals. in an
opinion by Justice Van Orsdel, has re-
Versed decree of the District Supreme
Court which had awarded to John C..
Cuttings. assignee of Sutcliffe n. Wild
dup, S9,S02.9S as pro rata share of the
proceeds OF sale of real estate be-
longing to the District Concrete Com
pany.
The court holds that the appellants.
the Metropolitan Loan and Trust Com
pany and the Modern Workman of the
World. as owners of the bonds secured
by deed of trust on the real estate, are
entitled to the fund. The sale of the
bonds under foreclose was valid, the
court holds, and vested title in the ap-
pellants and that the finding of the
auditor treating the sale as a nullity
was erroneous.
The proceeding grew out of a suit of
the United States Trust Company,
trustee. against the District Concrete
Company to foreclose a trust. Mr. Git
tlngs filed an Intervening petition
claiming that as assignee of Widdup
he owned the bonds and asking for a
general accounting. which he claimed
would show that the appellants were
indebted to Mr.. Widdup instead of be-
ing his creditors.
The appellate court remands the case
to the lower tribunal with directions to
vacate the decree and enter decree for
the appellants.
