-SECTAR|AN AID f.
SOCIETY PLANNED.
Steps Taken to Form Body to
Take Over Work Among
Prisoners.

Steps were taken yesterday by the
executive committee of the Council of
Social Agencies for the formation of a
non-sectarian prisoners aid society to
take over the work heretofore done by
the various members of the Community
Chest.
President Willard c. Smith was au-
thorized at the meeting held In the
Young Women's Christian Association
Building to appoint committee to take
charge of the formation of the new
organization. The committee is to begin
work at once in order that the society
can begin to function by the first of
the year.
Prisoners aid work in the District of
Columbia has been handled by several
organizations, mostly denominattonal in
character.
This condition caused the budget
committee of the Community Chest to
have a survey made of the prison re-
lief work here. The investigation was
conducted by Miss Clara Somerville,
and her report caused the committee to
ask the council for a non-sectarian
organization.
Mr.. Smith was also authorized 10 APP
point a committee to make a study of
housing conditions in Washington. with
particular reference to the social aspect
of alley dwellings. This committee will
work in conjunction with the group
headed by John Ihlder, which is making
a similar survey for the Park and
Planning Commission. The council
group, however, will confine its studies
to the social side of the situation.
Miss Gertrude Bowling. acting chair
man of the health committee of the
council, reported that a comprehensive
health study will be made in the Dis
trict by the American Public Health
Association, starting in December.

The first steps toward the formation Of
a national organization having as its
purpose the erection OF new coast-to.

obtain as national chairman one Of the
First Link In Arlington.
The first link of the John Marshall
Highway Is what is known in Airing

Bridge route and Is generally supposed
to include the 23 miles of highway that
reach from the connection with the
proposed Lee Boulevard in Porter's
Woods to a point on Memorial Drive be-
tween Ballston and Falls Church. That
this may not be the route finally select
ed, however, was indicated in letter
received by the association from H. G..
Shirley, chairman of the Virginia State
Highway Commission.
In the letter Shirley states that "the
commission has not made the perma-
nent location of the Straight-to-the-
Bridge boulevard, nor will it do so until
it has funds available for construction.
Continuing, he said. I'VE have run
one survey through, which may be the
line adopted in the final analysis, but
the final location will not be determined
until funds ar eallotted for its improve
ment. Until that time I will be un-
able to advise you what the straight
to-the-bridge route, will be-"
This letter, 1t was said, will leave

The Times editorial. Mrs. Boole said,
interpreted the Presidents letter as a
rebuke to the w. c. T. u, when he
wrote: TOO many people have como
to rely wholly upon the strong arm of
the law to enforce abstinence, forgetting
that the cause of temperance has its
strong foundations in the conviction Of
the individual of the personal value 70
himself of temperance in all things"
Mrs. BODIES telegram to the Times
stated that Mr.. Hoover Knows that
the w. c. r. U. stands for law obsery-
ance" and its members ARE total alb
stainers from all intoxicating liquors"
The telegram added that the w. c. T.
U. did not presume to speak for the
President, but that the organization
was confident Mr.. Hoover's reference
that too many people have come to
rely upon the strong arm of the law"
was in recognition of 'our contribution
to total abstinence and that he was
calling the attention to those other
people who failed to recognize personal
law observance as a contribution 30
