age height above the sea was
$500 feet. We passed many ships
that offered to help us, and our
appearance over Holland appeared
to create great excitement.
I have had lots Of congratulatory
messages since we returned. There
is no need for congratulations, but
if any are due they should go to
the crew. The crew showed calm
application to duty and perseverance
and pluck characteristic Of the
British.
The damage we sustained proved
the possibilities of a vessel Of this
than that of the American dirigible
Shenandoah.
Everybody Worked.
Everybody worked hard, from
Wireless Operator Kelly to the
engineers and there was no time
for rest or relaxation.
The hardest part of the whole
business is that Lieutenant Irwin.
who is skipper Of this ship, wasn't
aboard when she broke loose. It
was pretty hard on him because /
know how much he would have
liked to have been aboard. The
whole affair is just an incident, but
one thing it showed was that every
body was willing 10 help us when
in trouble. We had offers of help
from Norway and Holland, and even
Berlin wirelessed us that they were
ready to assist us in landing if we
came their way. That's a wonder
full spirit.
| hope this fuss subsidies right
away, it's foolish. We just did our
job and we are sorry we didn't
have our skipper along to help US
do our job better.

''Freudian psychology that is be-

one Of our greatest dangers.
Noise, such as fills our cities,
produces a tension in the nervous

Parental discipline, padding of

Two Years

Installation of fish screens at the
inlet and outlet gates Of the Tidal
Basin was ordered today by Lieu.
tenant Colonel @. o. Sheriff., dl.
rector of public buildings and pub
lie parks.
The installation will be completed
before the middle Of next week, it
is expected, after which large
number OF fish will be liberated
in the basin.
Although the screens are not In
place, 1t is not thought likely that
many OF the $50 choice bass, sun
fish and crappie, which have been
planted, will escape into the river
before the netting Is put in posi-
ton.
Fishing in the Basin will be pro-
hibited until the game fish released
there have had opportunity to null

or three years. At the end Of this
time the Basin il expected to be one
of the finest fishing grounds in the

Many of the fish which already

Women in Industry From
Necessity, Department Of
Labor Finds

Women in industry were given
clean bill Of health today by the
Department Of Labor.
In a survey covering four pivotal
cities OF the country, Wilkes Barre.
Pa; Jacksonville. Fla: Butte.
Mont, and Passaie. N. j., the de-
partment found that women 90 not
work for money to buy silk stock
ings, but work because they have to
sustain life
OF the 10000 women workers in
these points, one-half were or had
been married and the majority OF
these were living with their hus.
band and enacting the dual role OF
mother and breadwinner, the survey
showed.
The present tendency to score
married women workers and de-
prive them of employment In slack
times may work an injustice, as
a large number OF these matrons
have children and two-fifths of the
married total had babies under five
years OF age, the department as
serted.
The social and economic problems
Of women in industry call for seri-
Gus consideration If the strength
and prosperity of the nation are.
not to be undermined. More than
two-fifths of all of the girls ard
women over fourteen years in the
four cities were employed.
1.-THE burdens Of women who nre
compelled to earn a living not only
for themselves but for dependents
would, in many cases, be lessened
if there were more general recognl.
ton of this fact the department
pointed out.
The survey was part of an
analysis Of the 1920 census figures.

limit as at present, does not mean
that motorists can always drive at
this rate. In many instances a
speed of 10 miles an hour would be
regarded as reckless driving.
at sincerely hope that motorists
will not take advantage Of this 81
mile limit to speed through streets.
We put this limit into effect to re-
duce accidents. If accidents in
crease, the speed limit will be de-
creased. The speed limit is pro.
stationary"
The adjustment Of special speed
limits across intersections, around
corners, and into alleys does not
give motorists the right to speed at
these places, declares Mr.. Eldridge.
Must Exercise Care.
Motorists must exercise the
greatest care at these places" he
said. I'm crossing streets particu-
larlv. they should watch out for
other machines and pedestrians and
cross very slowly il any are In sight.
OF course. they can go little fas-
ter II neither cars nor pedestrians
are In sight
Two special squads OF policemen
win be put on the street to enforce
brake and headlight laws. They
viii patrol the city day and night.
The parking regulations now
provide one hour parking limit
throughout the downtown section.
This will continue except for the
periods in the morning and after
noon when parking is prohibited.
To Speed Up Traffic.
The old rule for the right OF way
was the person on the right shall
have the right Of way. The
change was made to enable TRAFFIC
on through streets to move quicker
and not be held up by motorists
from interesting streets.
At present three hand signals,
one to slow up and stop, another
TO turn to the left and a third TO
turn to the right are in the regu-
Iations. These signals are too m
volved. Director Eldridge believes,
and he has simplified the reguia-
ton with but one signal.
The final meeting OF the advis-
ory committee on traffic was held
last night and the plan for no
parking in the congested hours was
adopted. The committee also APP
proved a proposal to change the
following streets from one-way. to
tWo-way:
New Two Way Streets.
Tenth street, Sixth street,
Eighteenth street, Nineteenth street,
Madison place, Jackson place, IL
street and Mt. Vernon place.
The committee also approved
making H street one.way west from
ENTERTAINMENTS avenue to Four
teenth street and / street one-way
east from Sixteenth to Massachu-
sets avenue.
A number Of regulations prohibit
ing one.way turns at score or
corners in downtown washington
were also approved.

The Judge told the boob that
while it's true an accelerator may
be down, but it's never out. the
driver often is--in this case $50.
The boob said he'd do ten days
instead and we went home with

We saw by the papers next day
that the defendants father came
around, paid the fifty, and took
him away. And not a word to us.

Mortality from all causes was much
higher among twins and triplets than
among other babies.
Mortality among the exclusively arti
ficialy fed babies averaged between
three and four times that among the
exclusively breast-fed. Early artificial
feeding was especially harmful. Par
TALLY breast-fed babies had mortality
rate higher than the exclusively breast
fed, but lower than the exclusively ar
tifcially fed.
Infant mortality rates classified ac-
cording to the color and nationality Of
the mothers showed the lowest rates
for Jewish babies, and in ascending
order, higher rates for native white,
German, italian. colored, Polish
French Canadian and Portuguese. The
range was 53.5 to 20O.3.
Housing congestion, employment OF
the mother away from the home and
low earnings on the part Of the father
were other very important factors In
fluenclng the infant death rate. lrre-
spective of all other factors, it was dis
covered that infant death rate varied
inversely with the earnings of the

Woman Sees New European War at Hand

Gently, almost deferentially, Nine.
Slavko Grouitch introduced reality
into the American Academy Of Po-
litical Science the other day in Phil
adelphia. Sandwiched between aca-
demic papers on American co-opera-
ton abroad she warned that new
European war is at hand. Never since
1914, in May Of which year she visited
this country to alarm leading Amerl-
cans to warl4ke omens, has Europe
been so tense and the nations so fear
full of an early outbreak, Nine Grou-
itch assured the conference.
The American-born wife of the
Yugo-Slav minister at Washington
pressed her conviction that Europe
has no substitute for war In sight.
There is no use pretending" said
Nine. Grouitch quietly, that war has
been done away with while it still is so
soothing to politicians and SO stimu-
lating to national pride and courage.
War is the narcotic Of the nations,
ming the ardors and passions Of the
