IN 1871 President Washington
coudn't persuade residents of the
district villages of Hamburger and
Carrollbugh to sell their land to
t. government. The state of Mary
lanI was appealed to and Dec. 10,
tat same year, it coded the tract
" ashington wanted.
it did also, however, upon various
conditions applicable, Soft says, to
the district. Among other things,
t. ey included certain regulations
o. the sale of drink.
MS compact, agreed to at the
tie by the federal government, APP
/ L. IS never to have been rescinded
or modified and Soft contends
t At it takes precedence, perhaps not
OF The eighteenth amendment, but at
any rate of the Volstead law, which
giN es the amendment force. Or if
no, Soft argues, the agreement has
been broken by the government and
{ district, Washington and eli, re-
vercs to Maryland.
Washington motorists are so much
bo,aered by pedestrians that Traffic
Director Eldridge finally called
Manager E. B. Lefferts of the public
safety safety autoists) depart
ment of the Automobile Club of
southern California into counsel. He
chose Lefferts because in Los An

he had heard the pedestrian pest has
practically been stamped out
Its quite true" Lefferts assur-
ed him. owe got the Los Angeles
pedestrians under control five years
ago and have kept them, iron.nand-

He looked over the local situation
and was shocked.
"A more unruly lot of pedestrians
l never saw" he told Eldridge
They're a disgrace to the nation S
capital. Jail. Jail! That's the rem
edy.
80 Washington pedestrians who
get in autoists way are to be ar

there are few reactionary residents
who are urging them to turn it down.

On Our Way To Become
A Nation OF MOrOnS
By DAN THOMAS
NEA Service Writer

BERKELEY, Calf. Oct. 22.-
Race hygiene is the only salvation Of
America.
Professor Karl F. Meyer, director
of the Hooper Foundation Of Medical
Research at the University of Cali
fornia, makes this assertion and goes
on to say that we are headed in
the right direction to become a ma
ton of morons.'
There is nothing new about this
assumption" says Meyer. medical
men have known it for years, but
we have been unable to put it to the
public in such a way that they will
understand it. However, it will not
be many months before some means
is devised W hereby this fact can be
driven home to every man and wo-
man in the United States.
America is paying a big price for
being the worlds melting pot.
Our uneducated class inter
marry, and are content to live on an
inferior scale They do not cultivate
their minds, and as a result their
children are growing up weakmind
de-
with birth control practices de-
cimating the ranks of the better
classes and the propagation of the
unfit going on at an alarming rate,
we. are fast deteriorating. A recent
survey of Vdssar graduates showed
the average size of their families to
be one-half a child And the ma
jority of them are not even marry
ing.
How then" asks Professor Mey-
er, are we to keep up the superiori-
ty Of America? What kind of a ma
ton will we eventually become, with
the fit bearing no children aKd the
unfit raising large families?"

QUARRELS
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK
DAYTON and his wife had quarreled
L a little that morning, and all the
day they had been unhappy as a con-
sequence They had been married
good long time, and had come to de-
pend upon each other more than is
ordinarily true of married people.
They loved each other very dearly, and
still told each other so, though. as
have said. they had been married for
q long time.
II was foolish little quarrel that
they had had She had criticized him
at the breakfast table for the way in
which he was using his napkin or
some such careleSsness, and he. more
sensitive than most men, had answered
back rather sharply, and so they had
quarreled. He might have turned il
of with a laugh. as he often did. or
she might have smiled back at his
quick retort and kissed him after
breakfast as was her custom, but in
stead her eyes filled with tears, and
she left the table hastily with him
feeling the aggrieved rather than the
Aggressor. All day they had gone
about unhappy each one too proud or
too much hurt TO patch up the foolish
quarrel.
The years were going for Payton and
his wife. They knew very we'll that
the time they had been together was
longer than the time they could hope
to be. and they regretted the swiftness
OF the passing years They knew that
the time would come when one would
60 and there would be only one left.
and they knew how dreary X would
ali be, how, as one or the other sat
alone he would think back 70 these
foolish days and regret each moment
they had not spent In happiness to-
gether And yet they had quarreled.
Quarreled over a trifiiug thing that did
not matter either way, and they had
lost out Of their life together one day
that might have been full OF happy
thoughts. OF sweet associations. and
left TO both OF them pleasant memories.
They saw how foolish it IS for those
who love each other TO take onense
even at hasty. unkind words. for usual
" no unkindness is really meant. and
those who love each other will never
have too many days together and
should have on these, II possible, moth
ing 70 regret
Quarrels there must be perhaps. but
they should be between those who do
not love each other, who DO not under
stand each other, whose paths cross
