The proposed legislation would
compel every architect, before
being permitted to practice his
profession, to pass an examination
to be given by either the District
or Federal Governments and to
secure a license which would es-
tablish beyond all doubt his fitness
to go into business.
The law, it is expected, would
prevent all poor designing, which
might later result in defective and
dangerous construction. Under the
provisions of the law sought by the
chapter, architects and architectural
firms which have been in business
for a certain number Of years
would be issued licenses without
being compelled to pass examina-
tons, provided their previous
records had been without question.

NANCY LANE LEAVES
HUSBAND OF 3 YEARS

Mrs. Phillip c. Kaufman, for
merly Nancy Lane. unable to live
with her husband of less than three
years, has left with her eighteen
month-old son and her mother for
Burlingame, Cal.
Kaufman, who is on the repor-
torial staff of local paper, stated
that he and his wife have definitely
and permanently separated.
The wedding of Miss Nancy Lane
to young Kaufman, three years
ago, was one of the society events
of the year. 1t was held shortly
before Secretary Lane resigned from
President Wilson's Cabinet, and was
probably the most prominent social
event of the year.
Diplomats. the highest Govern
ment officials, including former
President Wilson, and all Of the
social elect Of the city, were present
for the affair. The young couple
started married life with the we'll
wishes Of the entire Capital.

CURB ON SCHOOL
ATHLETICS
NEAR
Principals to Act on Charge
of interference With Regu-
lar Physical Training.

Rivalry in athletics between
Washington high schools has
reached the limit of bitterness, Dis
trict school officials believe, and a
meeting of principals will be held
in the Franklin School building this
afternoon to determine to what ex-
tent interscholastic athletics shall
be curbed.
Officials are Of the opinion that
physical culture is not receiving the
attention it should in high schools,
as the time of the physical training
teachers is taken up largely by the
athletic squads, depriving the full
student body of instruction.
While physical training is not a
major subject in the schools, it is
compulsory, and a school officer
said today that it would be carried
on upon a larger scale in the flu
ture. If the principals and the
school administration decide that
athletics consume too much time,
athletics are to be greatly reduced
or dropped altogether.
It was stated today at the Frank
lin School that appointments OF
physical training teachers, especially
in high schools. were being made as
fast as salaries were provided for
this class of employe.
According to present plans, all
students, boys and girls, are to re-
ceive as much physical training as
the appropriation and the cur
riculum allow.
The conference today probably
will be followed by others, if only
for the sake of showing that deep
consideration is being given, before
the death of interscholastic athletics
In the District, at least for the next
two years, is ordered by the school
authorities. The administration,
however, has made up it's mind.
