early days conducted this work from

JUVENILE COURT
TOKEEP IDENTITY
Plan to Make, 1t Part of Dis
trict Supreme Bench Is
Discarded.

The Juvenile Court will remain a
separate tribunal instead of being
made a branch of the District Su-
preme Court in the new bill being
drafted by the commission on public
welfare legislation.
The commission reached this con-
clusion at an executive session yes
fully considered the question of what
should be the jurisdiction of this
court.
1t is understood the commission
concluded the new bill could be en-
acted more expeditiously If the
Juvenile Court is retained as a court
of special jurisdiction apart from the
District Supreme Court.
The commission had tentatively con-
sidered giving the Juvenile Court
jurisdiction over child adoptions and
actions for limited divorce, but these
provisions were interlocked with the
suggestion that the children's court
be made a branch of the District Su-
preme Court.
Leaves Status Unchanged.
In deciding to retain the Juvenile
Court separately, therefore. the COM
mission also voted to leave adoption
cases and suits for legal separation
where they are at present, namely,
in the District Supreme Court
The commission decided to give the
Juvenile Court jurisdiction over all
crimes committed by children under
IS, with proviso that the judge have
discretionary power to remand to the
Criminal Court exceptional cases in
volving children over IA.
The commission added another pro-
viso that when children 16 and L.
years Of age are charged with capital
or infamous offenses the District at
torney may, with the approval of the
justice sitting in Criminal Court,
have the cases remanded from the Ju-
Venile to the Criminal Court.
The commission was unable yester-
day to complete consideration of the
bill and will take it up at another
executive session Tuesday afternoon,
December 2. When the measure is
completed it will be submitted to the
District Commissioners for their ap-
proval, after which it will be trans
mitted to Congress.

EDGE SEEKS TO BEAT
VETO OF POSTAL BILL
Plans to Bring Pay Measure Before
Senate for Passage Over
Coolidge's Head.

Senator Edge, Republican. New
Jersey, author of the postal salary in
crease bill, which was vetoed by
President Coolidge, plans to bring
the measure before the Senate at the
approaching session, in an effort to
get 1t passed over the Executives
veto.
Some of the administration leaders
are known to favor redrafting the
bill to conform to President Cool
idge's wishes, and putting it through
as a compromise measure. The New
Jersey Senator is understood to be
opposed to such a step, and it is ex-
pected that he will demand a show
down on the bill early in the short
session.
Senators supporting the bill say
they are confident that if the Presi-
dents veto should be overridden in
the Senate. it would receive the nee
essary two-thirds vote in the House
for enactment.
The veto message of the President
was received by the Senate near the
close of the last session and was laid
on the table. Senator Edge expects
to bring it up for vote at the earli-
est opportunity.

ward elimination of the I4angdon
grade crossing will be undertaken by
the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association with the opening of Con-

terian Church that the association

Rap Street Conditions.
Residents of the Saratoga Heights
section voiced their disapproval of
the failure to get streets graded near
their homes. Wet weather, it was
said, transforms the streets into
streets of mud. The delay, according
to statements last night, is said to be
caused by dissension between the
Commissioners and the street con-
tractor. A special committee will
handle the matter. K. P. Armstrong,
chairman of the committee on streets
and sidewalks. promised to push the
grading of Franklin street.
A resolution directing the removal
of several unused and unsightly
structures in the rear of the Langdon
School was adopted by the associa-
tion. Louis de Ladurantaye and Will
liam T. Montevon were elected to
membership. Ira B. Nutter presided.

PLANE USES RADIO
TOL0CATE COURSE
Test Gives Further Assur-
anCe of Practicabi|ity of
New Direction Finder.

Further assurances of the prac-
Iticability Of the radio direction finder
for airplanes, an instrument develop
ed by the Engineering Division at
McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio, were
given yesterday with the flight from
Dayton to Washington of Lieut..
George W. GODDARD in a De HaHland
plane so equipped that the pilot can
not possibly become lost as long as
the mechanism is in operation.
At McCook Field, radio dots and
|dashes were sent out constantly
while Lieut.. Goddard was in the air
covering the 400 miles between the
two cities. AS long as the plane was
on the course, the dots and dashes
did not attach themselves to the an
tennae carried by the plane. but as
the pilot swerved to the right and
headed Off the route faint sounds were
heard. Continuing in this wrong di
rection, the code became louder and
louder. informing the pilot he was
getting farther and farther away.
Useful In Storms.
Turning the nose of the plane back
to the course again, the code became
fainter and fainter until it disap-
peared, informing the pilot he again
was on his course. Had the ground
been obscured by fog or had the
pilot been flying above a snowstorm
or the clouds, he could have reached
his destination without the use of
the regular airplane compass car
ried on the instrument board.
The direction finder was developed
more than a year ago and has reached
the stage of proficiency where all
planes travelling the model airway
out of McCook carry them. Lieut..
Goddard. now test Dilot at the field,
but formerly Photographic officer in
the office Of the chief of air service,
took off for Langley Field, Hampton,
Va, the next point on the airway.

Boiling this afternoon and continue
on to Mitchell Field, New York, where
