BRooKLAND WANTS
BUS LINE EXTENDED

The Brookland Citizens Associa-
ton today petitioned the Public
Utilities Commission to order an
extension of the terminus of the
Brookland terminus of the Rhode
Island Avenue bus line to Eight
zenith and Monroe Streets Northeast.
The citizens said that the present
line has been exceedingly profitable
to the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and that there
is no apparent reason why the line
should not be extended from it's
present terminus at Fourth Street
and Central Avenue Northwest.

BL AWE PUT
PUBLIC
SCHOOL

Juvenile delinquency in the
United States has grown to alarm
ing proportions and is steadily
on the increase.
This statement was made by
Representative Ralph Gilbert, OF
Kentucky, today at the opening
hearing by the Judiciary subcom-
mittee Of the House District
committee, on pending juvenile
court legislation.
"Court records show that the
percentage of crime among chill
dren has overwhelmingly increased
under laws similar to that we arc
asked to enact for the District of
Columbia juvenile court" Repre-
sentative Gilbert said.
Blamed on Schools
There Is an alarming saturnalia
Of crime by youths under existing
laws.
The amount of crime among
children, including all sorts Of
debauchery and RIGHTEOUSNESS, has
steadily increased under laws sim
liar to the one proposed"
Representative Gilbert charged
that Iaxity. in the public school is
largely responsible for such condi
tions.
Under these later methods of
education the child passing the
eighth grade can not spell properly,
can not write legibly. and can't
even work problems in simple inter
est" the Kentucky Representative
declared
The children of today have moth.
ing like the knowledge and SELF
control school children possessed
under the old system"
Explains Laws Purpose
Judge Milton Strasburger was
the first witness. He told the
committee that the purpose Of the
proposed law was to change the
status of the juvenile court from
that of a criminal to a chancery
tribunal Under the proposed law,
ne pointed out, children brought be
fore the court will be treated as
wards rather than criminals.
He explained that under the pres.
ent Law child stealing property
TO the value of $35 is taken before
the juvenile court. Thefts in ex-
cess of this amount go to the
police and other courts, where the
child is indicted as a. criminal, he
said.
Under the new law, all cases in
volvinR minors viii 60 to the
juvenile court, with a special pro-
VISION that only the most serious
crimes shall go to the other courts.

CUMMINS' DEATH
 AFFECTS R. K. BILL
He Was Champion Of This Im-
 p0rtant Measure

Washington, Oct 1 GF-With the death of Senator Cummins of Iowa, interest has arisen here as to what will become of the railroad consolidation bill he so ardently sponsored at the last session of congress.
 The measure was stoutly opposed by the American Railway Eyecu- tives Association. and it failed to gain the approval of a number of members of the Interstate Commer- cial committee as well as of some members of the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 Senator Cummins' had a dream of the carriers of the country brought together into about a dozen big systems so that the weaker roads could be maintained where needed through economies in management and joint use of terminals and equipment.

Bobs to Grow

Berlin, CP-During the winter season modern German Gretchens will let their bobbed hair grow somewhat longer than during the summer, in the opinion of Hermann Voeste, tonsorial adviser chief to many of Berlins film stars and prima donnas.
 During the summer most of my clients preferred the Eton cut, Herr Voeste says, which gives a woman a decidedly mannish appear ance. However becoming this may be in connection with sporting and outing suits, it does not go well with gala evening toilette. I already find that with the approach of autumn my clients are letting their hair grow several inches longer. The permanent wave, too, will again be in vague"

THE FAIR SEX AND
 NEWS ABOUT THEM
Items Are Gathered From All Parts Of World

Berlin, CP-When the beautiful Ida Theumann in the years follow ing 1900 was regularly singled out as dancing partner by Chancellor Bernhard von Buelow at the annual press club balls nobody ventured to predict that the celebrated beauty would die poor and forgotten in 1926.
 The news of her recent death brought to light the fact that the former star of the Royal theater had for the past five years lived in dire circumstances.
 Ida Theumann came to Berlin from Vienna in her teens and join- ed the Royal theater. Under the direction of it's famous regisseur Brahm, her talent unfolded and she became favorite of the theater go- ing public. It was not long before l1dwtg Fulda, the dramatist and sovelst, wooed and married her.
 AS Frau Fulda she played a lead hNg role in Berlin's smart set.
 hancellor von Buelow marked her
 for distinctions. Franz von
 nbach, the court painter. made 1 Teral canvases of her.
 Next Eugen d'Albert, composer
 d pianist, became infatuated with her and induced her in 1910 to sever her alliance with Fulda. From the d'Albert- union sprang daughter, Desiderata, who after her mothers divorce from the oft-wedded pianist shared her post war poverty.

Lady Balfour on Family"

London, tT9-Lady Frances Bal four refuses to let scandal -mon- gers' alarm her with their prediction that the family will disappear as an institution in modern society.
 Tt is not the family that is dis intcgrating, says Lady Frances, but the parochial life of the con- munity, due to a great extent to the vast improvement of locomotion."
 She declares the "helpcss female dependents" have "disintegrated" to their own great advantage, as they have been given an education and are reckoned citizens on equality with their brothers.

Just What Constitutes
 A Course Being Studied

Paris, Oct. 1 CF-Exactly what constitutes a course is a serious question now that the government has decreed no restaurant can serve a meal of more than two courses.
 As interpreted by Paris head walters, soup, hors d'ouvres, desert or cheese do not form a course within the meaning of the decree. Therefore a customer could take each of them in addition to his fish and meat, or his chicken and meat, but he could not indulge In fish, chicken and meat.
 Until recent years. a French lunch or dinner invariably had two meats In addition to fish, and sometimes an additional course of cold meat.

Since the waves most concerned in carry ing the radio signals are those at the short wave end Of the spectrum ir. the region Of violet and ultra violet, tt was obvious, he said, that the, process when refined would em- ploy only the invisible ultra rays II ts possible he said to transmit messages over a beam of these ot great intensity. this, he held. would be Of inestimable value in war time communication.

GENEVA LEGATES
 SHOW D|SC0N7ENT
Dislike PoStponement of Vote on
 Admitting Germany

Geneva March 10 (P - Now that Aristide Briand has formed his new cabinet in France and soon will be back on the scene at Geneva. ths expectation IS that the controversy growing out ot the various claims for seats in the league council will be settled with. tn short time. Pending the return of M, Briand negotiations contin. ued today to placate the disputan,s Tor seats and their sponsors.
 Murmurinss from the rank and file of the members Of the league that the question Of the election Of Germany to membership, for which they were primarily coh. voked, is being too long deferred is one Of the predominant reasons which served 10 influence the m4mbers of the big powers to re sume their private conversations in an endeavor 70 ameliorats the situation.
 Some Of the smaller countries are beginning 10 protest the ad. lournment ot the assembly Of the league without a new day or meet ing having been fixed and also are commencing to manifest resent nent that the small group ot pow- CTS making up the council Of the ,eague Is retarding the machinery of the league. in which they de- clare that all states, big or little from Guatemala to Great Britain, have equal greatness in accordance with the tenets of the leagues doc trine.
 The leaders or the big powers apparently have read this hand writing on the wall" and are anx- ious to prevent the murmuring de- veloping into an outburst Of official renonstrance. Belgium Is one coun- try which Is manitesting uneasiness over the deadlock with regard to seats In the council The Belgian delegate testified to this sentiment when at yesterdays meeting Of the assembly committee which must investigate Germany's candidacy he voiced doubt concerning the wis., dom of the postponement of the Inauguration of this investigation. Nevertheless, a postponement was ordered.
 Paul Boncour. who Is represent ing NJ Briand during bis absence, is in constant communication with his colleague, and now that Briand has finished his task Of cabinetiz-
New Britain herald., 1926-03-10

ing events are expected to be speeded up, It was confidently pre- dicted among the numerous dele. sations today that the reappearance Of NJ 'Briand on the Geneva stage would be followed shortly by a ringing down Of the curtain on the German drama and the entrance Of the Reich into the league.
 Some Of the powers which are con- tending for permanent seats in the council has given any evidence ot an intention 10 cease the combat. except possibly China, which has announced a willingness to withdraw her claim at this session of the assembly if Po- land Spain and Brazil do likewise,
 After a long conference last night between Sir Austen Chamberlain head of the British delegation and Chancellor Luther and Foreign Min ister stresenlann of Germany, one Of the German delegations said that his colleagues were hopeful that the crisis would be settled in I few days. The British spokesman said there had been "a long friendly converse ton which would continue today.
 Later there vas q conference be- tween M Paul Boncour and Dr. stresemann, who concurred in Sir Austen Chamberlains idea to reopen the Locarno group negotiations which ended so ursatsitcatorily last sunday The French delegation has expressed the view that a. German diplomatic victory in the controversy might endaager the spirit of the Franco German reconciliation launched by the Locarno accord The German were urged to reflect on the wisdom Of conserving the new era Of friendship emanating from Locarno. To this the German s replied that they. as vel! as the French, had their public opinion 10 think Of, and pointed out that a retreat from their decision that no other country should be given a. per manent seat in the league council before Germany is elected would have a disastrous repercussion !n Germany. President Won EIinden- burg Is said to have informed the German delegates telegraphically that their must be an abandonment Of Germany's fundamental principle.
 Reports from some quarters are to the effect that although the British delegation announced in a communi- que that the conference between Sir Austen and Drs. Luther and stresa- mann was friendly, it was extremely lively, especially when Sir Austen mentioned the danger Of a, collapse Of the League Of Nations if the Germans maintained their sole right to election 10 the council and Spain should withdraw from the league.
