RAIN IS FORECAST
FOR HALLOWEEN
Capital Is Expected to Hold
Gay Carnival in Down.
town Streets.

The Halloween goblin this year may
come riding on a rain cloud, unless
the Weather Bureau forecaster is wrong
In his predictions.
At any rate the city will don les
party clothes for the yearly festival
under gray skies, which are likely TO
let loose their dampness on the merry
makers at any time.
But the rumblings from the Weather
Bureau have not caused any consio-
cradle slackering in the preparations
for the gala night among the grown
people with their many parties or that
person to whom the evening partich-
iarly belongs-the small boy.
AS a safeguard against his activities
and the grown-upS who on this one
night a year initiate him, Maj. Henry
G.. Pratt, superintendent OF police, mas
issued his usual Halloween order to the
force. It differs not a whit from the
instructions of previous years. The
order reads:
members of the force are directed to
be alert in safeguarding persons from
and insult and property
from damage and destruction. Motor
cycle men, bicycle men and automobile
patrols are hereby instructed to be
particularly active in carrying out these
instructions and all men will make

ton of street lamps. Innocent prankS
will be permitted; the ringing of door
bells, throwing Of -four. indiscriminate
use of ticklers and similar devices and
rowdyism of any character will not pc
tolerated. Members of the force will
govern themselves accordingly.
And If little boys and their older
brothers are wise, they, too, will govern
themselves accordingly" Maj. Pratt
warns.
Witches and their escorts, the COB
Inns, will parade tonight, with blowing
of horns and flying confetti, along F
street, Pennsylvania avenue, Connect
cut avenue, Georgia avenue and Four
tenth street, as well as in many other
neighborhoods, if Washington takes the
practice of other years as a criterion.
The city will pour the repreSSed car
nival spirit of a year into an evening
and tomorrow morning there will be
work for the street cleaners.
The principal social observance Of
the hallowed eve of All Saints day
to trace the festival to its source
will be the bal maSque at the Willard
Hotel, where the merriment will COLI
tirue from early evening until almost
dawn.
The newspaper men Of the city will
frolic in the National Press Club ball
room and the Legionnaires OF h Dis
trict have been invited to the Marine
Barracks, where the U. S. S. JACOB
Jones Post, No. 2, is holding a danes.
The Navy Band Orchestra will play
there. Other groups also will hold
forth throughout the city.
In every hotel and night club III
town the yellow and black decorations
of pumpkins and witches ard special
Halloween programs will be offered Tor
the entertainment Of the guests.

Nagging Wives
Are Scored by
Georgia Court
State Supreme Tribunal
Quotes Proverbs in
Decision.
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, Ga, December 13.-Nag-
sing wives were reminded wednesday by
the Georgia Supreme Court that 1T Is
better to dwell in the corner Of the
house top than with brawling woman
and in a wide house." in affirming the
Judgment of the Fulton Superior Court,
granting a complete divorce TO Edgar r.
Ross from Mrs. Cora M. Ross.
Ross had complained that his w1fe's
nagging caused him to live in a rear
room of his home, doing his own COOK
ing and making his own bed Tor Two
years. In addition to citing the proverb,
the high judiciary quoted the follow
ing from a decision written by Justice
Hill several years ago:
From the days Of Socrates and
Xantippe men and women have known
what is meant by nagging, although
pllilology cannot define 1t or legal
chemistry resolve it into its elements.
Humor cannot soften it or wit divert It,.
PRAYERS avail nothing and threats are
idle. Soft words but increase It's We
locity and harsh ones its violence.
Darkness has for it no terrors and long
hours of night draw no drapery OF the
couch around it. The chamber where
love and peace should dwell becomes
an inferno, driving the poor man to
the saloon, the rich man to his club
and both into the arms of the harlot.
1t takes the sparkle cut Of the wine OF
life and turns at night into ashes the
fruits of the labor of the day."

NEWSPR|NT PRICE
REVERSAL DENIED
Head of Canadian Institute
Says He Knows of No Change
in Plans for Increase.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, December 13--P. B.
Wilson, head of the Canadian News
print Institute, said today he knew of
no alteration in the attitude of Ca
madam paper manufacturers in their
demand for SIS a ton advance in price
of newsprint.
His comment was made in connection
with Montreal dispatches to the To-
ronto Star, which said that Canadian
paper manufacturers had indicated a
decision to withdraw their demands for
an increase after a conference with
Premier Taschereau.
st have heard of no such conference
and am not aware of any alteration in
the attitude of the Canadian newSprint
manufacturers, Wilson said
The dispatches said that the threat
ening attitude of the American News
paper Publishers Association and the
certainty that in the face of that oppo-
sition the International Paper Co. would
not join them in increasing the price
from $500 to $50 a ton were factors
that influenced the Canadian manufac-
turers to recede from their position.

VILLAGE WAITS Up
FOR RETURN OF BOY
Anonymous Letter Writer
Fails to Keep Promise, but
Hope Still Exists.

BY the Associated Press.
ORRVILLE, Ohio, December 49,
Hope still existed in this excited village
today for the safe return of little Melvin
Horst, who disappeared almost a year
ago, despite the failure of an anonymous
letter writer to keep his promise to
deliver the 4-year-old boy to his parents
last night.
In the face of the broken promise and
the skepticism of officials, who have seen
thousand other tips" end in like
manner, the feeling persisted that the
letter writer will return the boy when
the furore he caused has subsidized.
Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Horst, Mel
wins parents. and most of the 1000
inhabitants sat up all night only to
face bitter disappointment when moth
ing had happened at dawn. Obedient
to the demands of the letter writer, who
asked immunity from arrest and 500
expense in a note ScraWled on rough
paper, the residents stayed inside their
homes for the most part to avoid any
appearance of interference. 1t was the
most excitement in this quiet town since
the entire population turned out to
search for the boy when he disappeared
last December 81.
The note, received by the Courier
Crescent, was published yesterday with
the assurance that authorities would
meet every wish of the writer If he
returned the boy
Last nights events came less than a
week after Elias Arnold and his son
Arthur were acquitted of stealing the
boy. They werI convicted previously,
but were granted new trial.
