CHICAGO, April 1S.-Miss
Fay Lanphier, the Miss America
of the 1925 beauty pageant, be-
lieyes that q beautiful woman
can be beautiful for 25 years.
The queen of the Atlantic
City pageant made this state

starring on a theater stage.
She praised the modern girl
and pointed out that the clothes
of today allow the woman to
keep her beauty longer than in
other days.
"The life of the average act
ress beauty is about 25 years"
she said. "That is, if she is a
beauty at 20, she can be a
beauty at 49,"

the drinks, ii containing alcohol

highly probable.

findings would be announced only

The maximum penalty would be

In view of the fact that Colonel

BOY HOLDS MAD
DOG OFF PALS

ooh, shucks! 1t wasn't q thing
to do. / just held him and Mr..
Stricken went and got his gun and
killed him."
That's 1s-year-old Perry Grit
fith's own version of how he held
a mad dog after the Infatuated
beast had bitten two children, ana
thus prevented the dog from biting
other playmates of his.
It was nothing, Perry declared,
despite the fact that the enraged
dog bit the 13-year-old hero three
times as the lad held on for dear
life when the dog struggled to get
away.
1t all happened yesterday after
noon at 4 o'clock when e. Scotch
collie, apparently suffering with
rabies. invaded the playground OF
the Woodside School near Silver
Spring, Md. where Is or 20 chill
dren were playing.
The dog first bit Ruth Moore,
daughter Of o. J. Moore, of Forest
Glen. AS the children fled scream
ing the dog then grabbed Peter
De Vries, of Silver Spring.
Perry and his eight-year.old
brother, William, We're fleeing when
did so, Perry grabbed the dog by
the jowls. locking his legs around
the struggling animal and held
him while the other children
screamed for help.
The cries attracted the attention
OF Harry Stricken, who got a
gun and shot the dog.
None Of the children Is bitten

hopeful today that success will be

Football Weather
Washington baseball fans are
sitting on their hands at the park
to keep them warm.
with a sky and air that hints
of snow, the ball park looks more
receptive for football than base
ball. Although flags are flying
and the band Is playing. there are
less than 1000 people here, one
hour before the game is scheduled
to start, and traffic policemen are
loafing on Georgia Avenune SO
small is the crowd.
Most of those in the bleachers
are ushers, peanut boys and candy
hawkers.
A few Griffmen, wrapped Sc
curely In sweaters, are batting out
flies or doing calesthenics to keep
warm.
Crowd Still to Come
In spite Of the small number of
people here, game officials ex-
pressed confidence that there will
be 10000 or $4,000 fans on hand
when the game is called.
The Athletics have not showed
up yet.
Shivering men with overcoat
collars turned up are crowding the
hot-dog stand. the only crowded
place in the ball park and the only
place where any heat is in evidence.
They are eating lots OF mustard.
In spite of heavily overcast skies
it does not appear that it will rain
or snow-before the game starts.

the night the colonel is said to have
been intoxicated, was expected to
take the stand.
No inkling was given as to the
plans Of the defense, but it was
intimated by defense counsel testi-
mony for the accused officer would
be brief, probably ending today.
Although four officers testified
for the prosecution at the opening
session. only the testimony given
by General Butler was regarded
especially adverse to the colonel.
Positive declaration on the wit
ness stand by the general that
Colonel Williams was drunk" with
flushed face" and about to fall
over" the night of March 6, in the
fashionable Hotel Del Coronado,
was the principal evidence con-
fronting the defense.

TRASH PLANT HEARING.
Proposed Location at Blue Plans to
Be Considered.

A proposal to locate municipal
trash plant near Blue Plains will be
considered by the District Commits
sioners at public hearing in the
board room of the District Building
Tuesday morning at 1890 O'Clock.
The Washington Highlands Citi-
zens' Association sent committee to
the District Building when the project
was first discussed to urge that it be
fully canvassed in public before being
decided. The committee explained that
it had no objection to the sanitary
disposal of clean waste in territory of
the association, but did not want the
health of the community endangered.
