SMART SOCIETY
WOMEN ENTER
BUSINESS
Social Stigma Removed
From Expression
I'm Trade

It seems to be hard shedding these
days for poor little rich wives In
their efforts to keep boredom from
the hearthstone and TO find ex.
preston for an overflow Of energy.
The latest addition reported about
to enter the group of business
women is Mrs Richard Porter
Davidson, better known perhaps as
Betty Hanna, granddaughter OF the
late Mark Hanna and niece Of Mrs.
Medill Mccormick.
Betty has a husband, home and
baby--but, while they have their
place in her active life, they are
not quite sufficient to ill her
yearning for something to do"
And SO she has leased space in
the sixteen Hundred block on
Connecticut Avenue for a lingerie
shop. which will be opened for
business in a few weeks.
For some time she has had the
idea back in her brain, but couldn't
decide on Just what TO sell. Babies
bootees, ladies' hats, lingerie. Al
Turing lingerie finally won her de.
cision.
Betty's marriage to good.loo king
young Dick" Davidson, son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. IN. Bradley Davidson,
took place the same yearthree
summers ago--as that of Cornelia
Vanderbilt, daughter OF Mrs. Peter
Gerry. then Mrs. George Wander

ants came to her wedding here
from the Vanderbilt-C Cecil wedding
at Biltmore, the Vanderbilt estate in
North Carolina.
For a winter Mr.. and Mrs. David
son occupied the residence Of the
bride III Rhode Island Avenue after
which they purchased the estate uf
Mr.. Davidson's parents in Bethesda,
which they occupied after extensive
renovation and improvements. Il
is there that they are now making
their home.

heretofore that the border States, like
Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland,

they have given in years when a
President has been running.
In the normal Republican States

hardly uniform. But the large Re-
publican majorities there would have
to be affected by something more ex-
citing than has been evolved thus far
to cause a complete turnover in every

Wife TELLS COURT
OF BURNAP DIVORCE
Says Husband, Landscape Archi-
tect, Has Filed Paris Sep

George Burnap. local landscape ar
chitect and proprietor of the 'Maison

has filed suit for divorce in Paris
France, against his wife Jeannette
Gallinger Burnap, formerly the widow
of DR.. Gallinger, son Of the late Sena
tor Gallinger, according to information
given the District Supreme Court to
day in an affidavit by the wife. Mrs
Burnap sued her husband for mainte-
nance last Summer in the local court
and he was required to give bond not
to leave the District.
Under an arrangement of counsel
Mr.. Burnap deposited $4,000 in lieu
of a bond to abide the decision of the
court as to his wifes suit, and was
permitted to sail for France to carry
out some contracts there pending. The
wife now tells the court that about one
month after reaching Paris, her hus-
band filed bill for divorce, charging
fier with desertion. She denies the
charge and also says her husband
was not a resident of Paris.
Mrs. Burnap requests the court to
hasten the hearing Of her petition, de-
claring that her rights may be prejn
diced in the event of Paris decree
against her. She is represented by At

of gang murder in Chicago, because
there is enough business for all of us
without killing each other like ami

While police were investigating the
wide ramifications OF Mondays ma

Of two North Side beer barOns and
wounded three other men, Capone, a
27-year-old emigre from Brooklyn,
calmly told reporters in his modest

about peace in the booze-running

the Cicero vice lord, leader of the fac

gangster and North Side booze over
lord. But while police suspicion i'm
mediately was directed Ciceroward for
an explanation Of the latest gang
killing, there was no direct evidence
and Chief Morgan Collins said 1t was
a. waste Of time to arrest Capone.
"Capone, Of course. has an alibi," !"
he asserted. He was in Cicero when
the shooting occurred. If we bring

the children at the next meeting
The problem of safeguarding children
from the hazards of the streets is one
that is almost constantly before the
minds of school officials, he said.
School officials, he added, are keenly
interested in the entire subject Of
safety and are following carefully the
present movement to make the streets
as safe as possible around school
buildings.
The president of the School Board
said his personal observation in pro-
ceeding to his office in the morning
has been that an interval of a few
minutes makes a big difference in the
volume of traffic on the streets.
Arrangements were completed at
Franklin School today for the essay
contest the latter part of this month,
during which the dangers of the
streets will be brought before the
minds of every grade school boy and
girl. Judge Gus A. Schuldt OF Traffic
Court has offered $25 in prizes, half
of which will go to the winner in the
seventh and eighth grades and half to
the child in the six low grades who
writes the best composition.
The essays must begin with a
slogan on the general topic of street
safety, followed by an explanation OF
the meaning of the slogan in $50
words. On October Is there will be
classroom discussion of the contest to
prepare the pupils. Part of the time
on the three succeeding days will be
devoted to oral discussion among the
children and on October % the essays
will be written in the classrooms.

my child to be dismissed from school
before 4:30 in the afternoon. That
hour of closing is atrocious for q
child of Z years.
Changing the hours of school SO
as to miss the peak of traffic Is but
an attempt to solve half the problem.
Harry B. Shaw of 723 Upshaw street
writes. He declares that traffic police
men must be stationed at each school
crossing for the brief periods when
such protection is necessary.
Against Any TempOrizing.
Declaring that the citizens of Wash
ington should permit no temporizing
in the matter, Mr.. Shaw declares:
"The popular approval of the plan to
change the school hours is a natural
reaction to the recent tragedy which
so startlingly revealed the terrific
dangers to which the children daily
are exposed. Yet, obviously, the plan
evades the issue; it does not afford
protection, but lodges behind the
alleged SO per cent reduction in the
flow Of traffic at the later hour. Such
a reduction would not necessarily be
accompanied by a corresponding re-
duction of risk to the children. The
fewer vehicles simply would move
faster. But even a remaining SO per
cent of present hazard is too terrible
to contemplate.
"At reasonable intervals this
modern juggernaut motor traffic,
must be arrested SO that the children
may cross intersections without any
risk. The only practicable way to do
this is to extend the present system
of placing traffic policemen at inter
sections to control traffic. Until such
protection is afforded let us support
the movement to enlist the Boy
Scouts in patrol duty for safely con-
Quoting the younger children across
these dangerous arteries"

their mothers and sisters, and If they
think Of them they'll put up their
guns and treat their business like any
other man treats his, as something to
work at and forget when he goes

Turned by Success.
Capone saw the genesis Of gang
killing in the breaking away Of mem
bers of his own organization, includ-
ing Weiss, "Schemer" Druccf, and
Dean O'Banion. Capone set up here
seven years ago with Johnny Torrio
and Nails" Norton.
FINALLY these fellows began to
make little money and forgot we
were the ones who put them in bust
ness. They began thinking they were
bigger than we were. Then they told
us they were going in for themselves.
Well, that was all right with us. we
figured there were customers for all
the beer in the world, and they were
welcome to those they could dig up.
"But pretty soon they began to act
nasty. Nails and O'Banion had been
killed and the other guys were feeling
chesty. Finally we had to talk to
them about it and tell them to stay In
their own yard and behave them
selves"
Soon after, however, Torrio was
attacked, but, according to Capone,
was willing to forgive and forget.
"I talked to 'Hymie' Weiss and the
others, saying:
"What do you want to do-dle be-
fore you're 30? I don't

wouldn't listen. A couple weeks after

noon and gave us a machine-gun fire

Then followed another peace con-
ference, which broke up when Capone
said he refused to offer up for assassi-

FRENCH BUDGET SURPLUS.
First Time Since War Such Achieve
ment Has Been Made.

PARIS, October 13 CP).-The Poin
care government yesterday introduced
budget in the Chamber of Deputies
which, for the first time since the
World War, shows an apparent sur
plus.
Premier Poincare estimated that
the total for 1927 would be $685.
900 900 francs, while receipts would be
80, ,96O. .0O0, 900. Under the govern
ment's plan the surplus of o7S,OOO,0OO
francs will be utilized to speed up
home production, especially in wheat
to obviate the necessity of importing
from countries having high eX
change.
Appropriations for payments on the
foreign debts are provided for to the
amount of 1876, 100000 francs, OF
which 1,50O 100000 is expected to
come from reparations payments.
In introducing the budget, Premier
Poincare remarked that the sinking
fund commission, during the year Will
have at it's disposal 6,174, 200, 900 francs
to reduce the public debt The finance
minister also notified Parliament that
at the proper time he will introduce
indispensable measures for the
stabilization Of French money.
Nothing could be said In advance
on the nature of these measures, the
finance minister said, because of the
fact that such information would
facilitate speculation in the exchange
The sums inscribed in the budget
for the foreign debt payments are
calculated at rate of $50 francs to
the pound and 81 to the dollar. The
premier pointed out that there We're
two important maturities during the
year; 3,01S 100000 credit national re-
construction bonds due in February
and 4,587 100000 treasury bonds due
on September %. The premier said
that these sums had not been inscrib
ed in the budget because they would
entail too great a burden on the tax
payers He intimated that in due
time the government will resort to
consolidation, which it has been au
thorized to do by Parliament, in order
to cover these obligations.
