Mellon Says Treaties
Alone Can Relax Dry
Law; No Ship Seizures
BY LUTHER A. HUSTON,
international News Service.

LONDON. June 30.-sThere is no
chance for relaxation of the dry
ship regulation until the American
Congress modifiesa the law unless
Washington is able to make treaties
with the foreign powers on the sub
ject," Secretary Of the American
Treasury Andrew Mellon declared
here today. Secretary Mellon con-
tinued:
THE prohibition law prohibits the
transportation Of liquor within the
territorial waters of the United
States. The Government has no
alternative but to enforce it The
Government might make a treaty
officials to- search and seize outside
OF the three-mile limit, but per-
uniting foreign liners to bring in
liquor under seal. Such a treaty
would have to be made through the
treaty.making power of the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Ameri-
can Senate. Otherwise there is no
chance for relaxation until Con-
gress acts
THE right to search ships twelve
miles off the American coast would
be most valuable. 1t would keep
rum ships from establishing contact
with the shore. Evasions of prohibit
ton are due mainly to the profits
derived. II searches were permit
ted up to twelve miles 1t would take
out considerable from the profits"
Secretary Mellon said he believed
that United States technically hau
the right to seize liquor bearing
ships, but that no such action was
contemplated. He denied that the
England-ward voyage Of the Ma.
Jestic Ton which he travelled was
wet"
Asked for an opinion on the debt
problem and other international
questions, Secretary Mellon refused
to make any statement. He added
that he would not discuss the debt
issue with any European officials
on his trip. He is not going to Ger.
many nor to the Rhur.

Of j. S.FLAG
IS URGED
Playground Association Of
America Sends Appeal for
July Fourth.

Aroused by the attention called to
the incorrect display OF United
States flags in Washington recently,
the incorrect display extending even
to Government buildings, the Play
ground and Recreation Association
Of America today issued an appeal
here to the recreation directors in
900 cities to assist in securing a
correct use Of tho national flag on
July 4.
All school children are to be
taught the rudiments OF the flag
code and will be asked to report to
the directors all instances Of in
correct display or abuse.
The appeal is sent out at the re-
quest of the national flag confer
ence, held here June IA and Is and
attended by delegates from sixty
eight Of the principal patriotic, fra
ternal and educational associations
in the country. The conference has
sent copies Of the flag code to recrea-
ton leaders in all the cities, &C.
companied by the following mes
sage:
1--WE are sending the flag code
adopted by the national flag confer
ence, called by the American Le-
gion, to local recreation leaders at
the specific request of the chairman
Of this conference. In the discus
sion 1t was stated that the most i'm
pressive lessons can be taught while
children are at play; and that it is
most important that children on the
playground learn of the proper use
and display of the flag, the proper
respect for the flag; that there be on
the Fairgrounds demonstrations and
ceremonies at intervals illustrating
the flag code; and that the children
be called upon to cooperate in OBJ
tanning the proper observance Of the
code. 1t is also suggested that the
Fourth Of July flag display be made
as correct as possible

DAY NURSERIES
HERE PRAISED
BYEXPERT

The work Of day nurseries In
Washington should be supervised by
either the Board Of Charities or the
Health Department, Hastings H.
Hart, director Of the child helping
department Of the Russell Sage
Foundation, declares in his report
on welfare institutions here.
DR.. Hart praised the work Of
the nurseries.
'As a group, the nurseries are
we'll suited for their purpose" he
said. "Three improvements, how
ever, are greatly to be desired;
first, supervision by the Board of
Charities or the Board of Health
or both. Second. a mothers assist
ance fund should be provided, to
enable many mothers who now
place their children in day nurser-
les to care for the children at home;
third, employment Of trained case
workers"
An examination should be made
by a competent physician of every

SINCLAIR
Rent Board Personnel Pays
Tribute to Retiring Chairman
at Gay Gathering.

The desk sergeant of the
Eleventh precinct, stepping to the
porch for a breath of fresh air
last night, caught the mingled
sounds of music, laughter and
song from a house directly opo-
site on Nichols avenue.
Whats happening in 2SO2-the
Madigans?" he called in to his
substitute at the blotter.
Miss Margaret is giving
farewell party to her boss, Mr..
Sinclair, the head of the rent
commission was the explanation.
From the number Of automobiles
and street cars, I guess every
body who ever worked at the
commission has come to say good
by to him. He's going back into
the law business.

att must be nice to be rernem-
bered like that" commented the
desk sergeant.
He closed his eyes, rejecting on
the party his colleagues would give
him when he would retire. There
was a sudden pause in the music
from across the way. Then the un-
mistakable heavy baritone of A.
Leftwich Sinclair, accompanied by
the fiddles of Professors Fitzgerald
and Morgan. woke the slumbering
echoes of Anacostia.
"In the narae of law and order,
what's that?" asked the desk SER
geant's deputy.
ITS a song, I'm afraid" said the
man on the porch. eff my ears do

desk sergeant, until the neighbors
begin to object, anyhow. Maybe
they'll send over some ice cream
after the party"
OF course, the desk sergeant didn't

In appreciation for the party, Mr.

Mr.. Sinclair was presented with a
leather brief case. He said he would
probably use the gift to bring papers
before the new Rent Commission in
his capacity as attorney in the flu
ture.
Arrangements for the party were
made by committee, headed by
Miss Margaret Madigan, senior
stenographer of the rent board.
