Why Jailbreaks?
EDITORIAL

NTHlLE the escape of six desperadoes from the
w King county Jail is n matter that merits the
most thoro investigation to determine how il was
possible for murderers and bank robbers to have
weapons slipped to them inside the bars il brings to
light also another situation that should be remeded
While King county calls the institution in which il
houses its prisoners Jail, that name brings laugh
to any person familiar with the needs of penal inst
tuition
The Jail is antiquated 1t never was designed for
the purpose it now is serving. Prisoners confined in
II are not safe unless armed deputy is standing
by to see that they do not attempt to push their
fingers thru the wall.
It's not so much question as TO why six prison

able to keep any prisoners inside.
Let's clear up the question of guns, and clear up
also bad situation in Jail that is likely to per-

CHARITY BALL
SPONSORED BY
PRESIDENT
VIII Attend With Mrs.
Coolidge; 3 Generations
Workers for Cause
By JEAN ELIOT

-lHE philanthropies of the moth
ers-lkke the sins OF the
fathers-seem to be visited
upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation.
That, at all events, is the case
with the ball for the benefit of the
Children's Hospital, which remains
THE CHARITY BALL, in spite OF
the competition of scores of newer
benefits, and at which. President
and Mrs. Coolidge, following a long
established custom, viii make their
one unofficial appearance or the
year.
Many OF the women now serving
on the board of lady managers, by
when the ball on January 4 is be-
ing arranged, have : posts which
their mothers held before them. And
in Several instances three genera.
lions are-or have been-active
workers for this institution which
contributes SO much to the welfare
Of the sick and crippled children OF
washington.
Three Generations
10 this group belongs Mrs. Fred
orick H. Brooke, now president Of
the. board, who, with her debutante
daughter, Miss Frances Mckee, is
among the most devoted workers
for. the cause, ard who inherited
her interest in an appealing phil.
anthropy from her mother, the late
Mrs. Alfred E. Bates.
Ii was Mrs. Bates who was chair
man Of the ball committee during
those years. when the annual ball
for the Children's Hospital devel-
oped from an episode in which a
small group We're interested to an
event of such Importance that no
body with pretensions to social con.
sequence could afford to stay away
In the early days the bali used to
be held in the old Arlington Hotel
long ago gone down before the march
OF progress-the ladies' of the board
making the chicken salad for the
ball with their own hands. And 1t
was during Mrs Bates regime that
Il was transferred to the Willard
and grew out of all recognition.
President Arthur Set Precedent
President Arthur was the first
Chief, Executive to attend the
Charity Ball, and his gracious ex.
ample has been followed with occa-
sionaI intermissioTls by Chief Execu-
tives since his day. There was a
period during the war when, o.
course, 1t would have been imprac.
ticable for the President to attend
such a public functions But the
late President Wilson was a guest
on more than one occasion at the
Charity Ball: President Roosevelt
ana President Taft attended regu-
Iarly. and the late President Hard
ing and Mrs. Harding looked down
from the Presidential box several
times, once or twice taking a turn
around the ball room.
Naturally, the presence of the
President and Mrs. Coolidge will
add much to the brilliance as well
as to the success of the ball this
year, Already boxes are in great
demand. and both the Cabinet and
the Diplomatic Corps win be fully
represented.

MARYE
TO NJ AIRY
ARMY MAN

Announcement by Mr.. and Mrs.
George T. Marye Of the engage.
ment of their daughter, Miss Helen
Marye, to Lieut.. William D. Thomas,
Army Air Service, has answered
once and for all questions as to
whether-or-not Miss Marye was
to marry Count Negri Arnold. The
engagement of Miss Marye and the
dashing young Italian was made
known by her parents something
over q year ago. the romance haV.
ing grown out of q visit in italy.
It was said at the time that Mr..
Marye thought his daughter too
young to wed and disapproved or
her marrying a foreigner. II so.
he pursued clever tactics, for with
the count visitor in this country
and entertained at the Marye
home the engagement died a nat
ural death, whereas opposition
would probably have famed the
flame of young love and brought
about an immediate marriage.
Now, however, the little lady has
exercised a woman's privilege and
changed her mind. 1t Is said that
her marriage to Captain Thomas.
well known in Washington, as he
was long stationed at Boiling Field,
will take place in the near future.
Mr.. Marye, sometime our ambassa'
Dr. in Russia, regards this as the
most successful achievement OF his
career as diplomat.
CAPTAIN Thomas is now on duty
at Langley Field. Miss Marye
made her debut in Washington ast
winter after a preliminary debut at
Eurlingame. Cal, where the Maryes
have summer home, and was also
presented at the Court of st. James.
