almost invariably the pretty girl

regime in the courts, while her less
endowed sister must pay the full
penalty of the law" continued Mrs.
Van Wrinkle, in an interview with a
reporter of The Washington Times,
In which she expressed her views on
the subject as the result of many
years observation as welfare
worker.
II have heard such remarks as
these from judges: But l can't be-
lieve the girl is bad, she has such a
beautiful countenance.' and Il cant
believe she did it, she is so pretty"

When you listen to a conversation

You wonder what in the dickens

At least so believes Gus Buch-

must speak English or nothing.
Buchholz talked the matter over

heartily approved Of the order. he

CATHAL O'BYRNE TO SING
FOLK SONGS OF IRELAND

Cathal OByrne, who gives his first
recital in Washington tonight at
Rauscher's ball room is one of that
school of Irishmen who have devoted
their lives to the saving and collect
ing of the folk songs and lore OF
Erin. He was a co-worker Of Eamonn
Ceannt who was executed by the
British after the Easter Week up
rising in 1915.
O'Byrne's program this evening
will be in English but by special re-
quest he is to sing several character
istic Gaelic numbers.
In an interview upon his arrival
here today the bard declared that the
English foolishly believe they can
break the soul Of the Irish people
by brute force"
He termed the Irish Renaissance
the '.resurgence Of the Gael" adding.
that Ireland today Is As Irish as she
was before the Danes tried to conquer
the country in the ninth century and
were followed by the Normans and
the English.
Mr.. OByrnc will be assisted to-
night by the Elsa Fischer str nS
quartet. The concert begins at $50.

Women have become independent

are amply qualified to be judges.

SENATE TO ADD
TO DC. BUDGET
Will Restore Police Bonus to Bill
and Treat Schools More
Literally.

The Senate will make substantial
additions to the District appropri-
alton bill as passed by the House. IL
was learned today
The 1920 policeman's bonus un-
doubtedly will be restored by the
Senate appropriations subcommittee,
II Is believed. and the urgent needs
OF the District school system will be
needed.
CALDER TO URGE BONUS.
Senator Calder. who is the strong
est friend of Washington policemen
and fremen in Congress, is confident
that the 1920 bonus will be insisted
upon by the Senate, and intends to
press the matter before the Appro-
priations subcommittee. Opposition
to the bonus probably will be led by
Senator Smoot, but it Is not believed
the Utah solon will make point OF
the matter.
The friends of the Washington
school system in the Senate are nu-
merous. The special committee which
Investigated the schools last spring.
composed OF Senators sherman. Dill
lingham. Walsh of Massachusetts,
Capper and Harrison, found them-
, selves in substantial agreement at
the close Of the inquiry that strong
ly constructed program for the sys-
tenn would have to be, adopted by
/ Congress. The report of the special
! committee laid even greater stress
| upon the needs OF immediate legisla-
ton regarding construction and i'm
provement than upon the Van
Schaick- Thurston row, around which
the investigation conferred.
! Senator Harrison's bill providing
for a survey of the schools, which
now has been shelved for the time
being, was designed to give Congress
data on which to base it's appropria-
lions in the future. The absence OF
this data. however, is not likely to
cause the Senate to postpone action
on the construction needs OF the sys-
tenn. 1t Is understood that within
the Appropriations Committee there
are strong influences at work in ia
vor of a more liberal policy.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee will open hearings in the near flu
ture on the District appropriation
bill If the friends of the schools
make an effective presentation OF
their case at these hearings there is
little doubt their appeal will be
needed
