the announcement today from Assist.

Although an overflow Is looked for

The new buildings will be as fol-

operation and will open later than the
other five.
This is the first time In the history
Of the District public schools that 20
many schools have opened In one sea

In getting them Is looked upon In

them from eight to sixteen-room build

CANDIDATE OUT
ASCHAMP POM Of
WOMEN VOTERS
Likely to Win Wife Whether or
Not He Succeeds in Mary
land Election.

Prince Georges county women have
an ardent champion in John r. Rig.
giles. bachelor and politician. who is
running for a seat in the Maryland
legislature.
True, Riggles may not succeed in
becoming one of Marylands lawmak.
ers. but the chances are he will win
q wife because OF his solicitude for
the welfare of the countys women
voters.
In the first place, Riggles wants
women to become eligible for Jury
duty. He also Is determined. II he
is elected to the legislature, to pro.
tect women from the Snslaughts Of
wife-beating husbands.
Favors Whipping Post.
II am strongly in favor Of the es.
Enlistment Of a whipping post in the
county for wife beaters." Riggles says.
"A man who strikes his wife should
be lashed."
Here are some other bills that Rig.
giles hopes to introduce and have
enacted into law:
A law requiring health certificates
for persons applying for marriage
licenses.
A law requiring a referendum on
horse races. gambling, paddle wheels,
slot machines and all other games Of
chance.
A law establishing q salary Of $4,000
for sheriffs In the State, instead Of the
present fee system.
Riggles formerly was a machinist

political activity in Prince Georges
county he asserts he was ousted. He
Is president of the Good Roads League
Of Prince Georges county and says
he is the only union man running for
the legislature.
Answers QUESTIONABLE.
All this is told by Riggles in answer
to a QUESTIONABLE submitted to him
by the Women Voters League Of the
county.
Riggles has not as yet found the
young woman whom he would take as
a partner for life, but his running for
office in the county may not only net
him a two.year term as a Maryland
lawmaker, but wife for a much
longer term.
His friends say he would make an
ideal husband and that his wife would
never have to fear for her life, as

Is little or no comment from the
sidelines. But yesterday afternoon
at American League PARK unmount-

they wanted and the copper proved
bit fused. In the annual base

League, the blue-coated stop-go men

Though the silk flag presented by
Commissioner Oyster went Ito the
Home Defense League players, the
policemen nevertheless carried
smiles to work this morning. More
than $17,300 were garnered on the
advance ticket sale, in addition to
the afternoons gate receipts. The
sale of souvenir programs paid for
expenses. leaving the ticket receipts
for the police relief fund for widows
and children of policemen. Pre-
cincts leading in the sales were:
First, s3.oa1; Second. $4,000. and
Tenth. S2,110.
The police game provided the
afternoon amusement for many Of
those who remained in the city. but
the picnic of the Central Labor
Union at Marshall Hall accounted
for the absence of nearly 10000 from
the city.
Bathing beaches-Colonial. Chesa-
