cured a hold on both Of Montanas ears

Bulls head on the ring post until the
wrestler cried out that Dempsey was
too rough and refused to continue.

road facilities are under observation.
Bridges are inspected from time to
time. But structures like the board
walk or dancing pavilions are rather
taken for granted. It is nobody's
business. it would seem, to look at the
underpinnings or the uprights. or the
floors. If a board rots and a hole de-
velops it may be replaced or patched.
But down below weakness is constant.
ly developing. Wood deteriorates in
the conditions of such place and it
is only a question Of time when it
gives way under pressure.
This accident naturally calls for an
official investigation by the .authori-
ties of Maryland to ascertain whether
there are any other danger points.
The people Of Washington are espe.
cially concerned. Chesapeake Beach
is practically their only waterside re-
sort within convenient distance. 1t is
the scene each summer of great
crowds from this city. The conditions
of transport to and from the beach
and at the beach itself directly affect
their welfare. 1t is, of course, incum-
bent upon the owners and managers
of the line and resort to guarantee
public safety. But there should be
some official pressure to make this
guarantee assured.

No Preliminary Conference.

The suggestion has come from Lon
don that preliminary to the disarma-
ment conference here under the in
vitation Of President Harding a dis
cussion be held at London on the far
eastern question, in order that the
premiers of the British colonies may
agree upon these questions. 1t is,
of course, impossible for this country
to limit in any way the program Of
the British government in it's par
ticipation in the disarmament meet
ing, and if it is felt desirable by that
government to hold a conference of
colonial premiers at London before
coming here there is no reason why
such a meeting should not be held.
But it is decidedly not desirable to
have the question of the far east in
any way discussed internationally at
London. or elsewhere than in Wash
ington, before the disarmament con-
ference is held in this city.
President Harding has plainly shown
in his statement announcing the in
vitation to the principal allied and as
sociated powers to confer on disarma.
ment that the questions of the far
east are regarded as inseparably asso-
ciated with the problem Of reducing
the war-inviting, tax-multiplying bur-
dens of armament. The invitation to
China to participate is a plain notice
to this effect, for China is not a mill
tary power and has place in the
disarmament council only because the
conditions that affect it are precisely
those that make for international COM
petition In provision of war materials.
1t Is altogether Great Britain's busi-
ness to secure an understanding be.
tween the premiers of the colonies
before coming to Washington. 1t is,
however, altogether the business Of
this country that the conference held
at its invitation should be free, full
and unchecked by any preliminary

Summer Outings.

1t is sticky and hot and whiting in
the cities these days, and the children
of Washington whose parents are un-
able to take them out where big green
trees make shaded patches in the
sunshine and there is plenty Of room
for romping bare-legged out Of doors
are having dreafy, sickening time.
Sun-baked asphalt is hot on little feet;
tall buildings cut off the breeZes that
hurry past on their way to the hill
sides; and there is never a flower to
pick or an honest,to-goodness stream
in which to wade and splash. Days
hard to bear for the grown-ups, but
harder by far for the youngsters,
So the summer outings committee
is on the job; Camps Good Will and
Pleasant are running full force; and
of comfort and rest and play to chill
dren and mothers who need 1t so
sorely is the mailing of a check to
those competent and happy to do the
rest.
The. camps. one for white and one
for colored children and their moth
ers, offer to those who would other
wise never know the healthful rest
and relaxation Of a fortnight in the
country the outing which makes all
the difference between a hateful or a
joyful summer. Here undernourish-
ed and pale children and mothers
overworked and worried with home
cares rest and play and drink deep of
clear air, returning laughing and re-
freshed for the year that lies ahead.
To make this possible is charity so
sound and satisfactory as to deserve
the generous support Of the COM
munity.
The number of children and mothers
who can be cared for at the camps
this summer depends entirely upon
the financial support accorded the
summer cuttings committee by those
who. understanding the happiness their
dollars can bring to those to wSora
happiness Is too often a stranger, axe
willing to contribute toward this
work. With the cry of the youngsters,
Send me! And ME. And ME, too!'
in our ears it cannot be that

A Juvenile Clinic Needed.

A bill is pending before the House
District committee, which granted a
hearing on it yesterday, that calls for
careful and favorable consideration.
1t makes for the betterment of the
children Of the District and the pre-
vention of disease and crime among
them. Under its terms a clinic will
be established under the direction Of
the judge of the Juvenile Court for
the examination Of children for men.
tai and physical defects. Such a clinic
was conducted with the aid of the
public health service for some time
here. and surprisingly large number
of deficients was found among those
brought before the Juvenile Court 1t
is proposed to make this a regular
feature Of the court work, in the hope
of detecting dangers in the form Of
demoralizing disease and mental de.
ficiencies.
Many a child is rated as bad"
given to mischief and serious miscon.
duct, who is in fact abnormal, lacking
in some degree in mental functions,
or perhaps afflicted with disease. Most
Of these cases are among the ignorant
and poor, where the children are not
given adequate attention and live in
conditions that make for moral de-
terioration.
Washington is. peculiarly unpro-
tected in this respect. There is no
means Of detecting the physical and
mental deficiencies of tha children
who form the main body of Juvenile
Court defendants. There is no safe.
guard against the development: of
criminal tendencies, and there is no
place where those thus afflicted can
be kept for care and cure. The bill
now pending proposes a means for
ascertaining these conditions. 1t
should be but the first of a series of
enactments providing system Of
protection that will assure that the
children of Washington are being
given their best chance to develop
into wholesome manhood and woman.
