the District federation.
The Maryland federation took the
position that It is no longer pos
sible to consider the civic prob.
lens of nearby Maryland as sep.
arate from those Of the District
when, in fact, the District and parts
OF Montgomery county have grown
into one urban unit.
Numerous problems arising out
l ington were debated by nine diff
ferent citizens associations last
night.
DR.. e. e. Richardson, president
of the Congress Heights Citizens
| Association, pastor of the Congress
Heights Baptist church and pro-
lessor of philosophy at the George
Washington University, was In.
| dorsed by his association for ap-
pointment as q member OF the
board of education.
Blue Laws Opposed
A resolution opposing the enact.
ment by Congress Of any legisla-
ton affecting the observance Of
Sunday, was passed by the Stanton
Park citizens. At the same time
the association f1ayed attempts by
individual morality.
Representative Brooks Fletcher OF
Ohio, speaking before the Takoma
Park Citizens Association, took a
strictly modern stand when he de.
clared that the statesman OF the
future, to be properly equipped for
his work must be q scientist and
particularly a student OF biology.
He declared that Mussolini, italian
premier, was trying to turn civiliza.
ton back a thousand years to the
era OF the Caesars.
Immediate Improvement Of Four
teenth Street Northwest, above Ken.
nedy Street, was advocated in a
resolution adopted by the Sixteenth
Street Highlands Citizens Associa-
tion. Announcement was made at

Rapid Transit Company is consider
ing the installation Of bus term
inal at Fourteenth and Kennedy

as to free property owners from
paying anything but original costs
Of improvements to abutting streets.

Gems Association passed resolutions
favoring the immediate lowering
OF postal rates.
Long Tons Asked
Manor Park citizens were told
last night that Corporation Counsel
Stephens had ruled recently that
coal substitutes may be sold in
short.ton lots of 1000 pounds.
Briquets and coke are now being
sold in tons of 1000, 1t was stated,
although the Commissioners have
promulgated an order requiring coal
to be sold in long-ton lots of 2,240
pounds. The association adopted a
resolution calling this to- the at
tention of the Commissioners and
asking for a regulation requiring
all coal substitutes to be sold in
'ong.ton lots.

BABY BRIDES
BY international News service.

ALBANY, April 1s.-The mar.
rage OF Edward w. Browning,
wealthy New York cinderella
man., and 15.year-oId Frances Hee-
nan, might have been prevented if
one of the half-dozen bills relating
TO marriage, now pending before
the State legislature, had been a
law at the present time.
This was the conclusion reached
today by some members OF the
legislature after they had made a
careful study of the marriage bills.
One measure, which some Of the
lawmakers belive might have pre-
vented the Browning marriage is
sponsored by Assemblyman Phelps,
/. New York Republican.
It would prohibit town or city
clerk from issuing marriage IL
cense TO woman under 16 years
or age unless she had first obtained
the written consent of the Judge of
the children's court, supreme
court Justice or the surrogate OF
the county in which the applica,
ton was made.

Coal Experts
of Germany to
Visit America
ny United Press Leased Wire

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. lS.-Thc
Germans, considered the world =
leaders in coal research, will send
their leading scientists to America
to describe their discoveries.
This step in International coopera-
tion will be taken at the conference
ON bitumnous coal at the Carnegie
Institute of Technology of Nov. -
to IS, President Thomas S. Baker
announced today.
DR.. Friedrich Bergius and Franz
Fischer will represent Germany at
the meeting. They are the inventors
of processes considered the most
promising of all the methods so far
devised for the production of fuel
oil from coal.
Foreign leadership in coal re-
search is explained by the fact that
America has wealth of petroleum
resources, while in Europe there is
little natural petroleum under the
ground, and the possibilities of us
ing coal have therefore been care
fully investigated.
