EXERCISES TO MARK
SCHOOL ANNEX WORK
Ground to Be Broken Tomorrow for
Dual Addition to Park View
Institution.

District and school system authorities
have been invited by the residents of
the Park View community to attend the
ground breaking exercises which will
initiate construction of the dual addi-
ton to the Park View Platoon School
at ii o'clock tomorrow morning, it was
announced today by Miss Edith Shan
non, in charge Of the arrangements.
Besides the three Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, the full Board
of Education, DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
superintendent of schools, and Selden
M Ely, supervising principal of the
fifth division, in which the Park View
School is located, received invitations
today.
Representative Robert G. Simmons,
who has been active in school affairs OF
the District in recent years as chair
man of the appropriations committee OF
the House District committee, will be
invited later today to be present.
The exercises, although brief, will be
sufficient to recognize the beginning Of
construction of additional school facil-
tiles, which have been sought by the
community of several years. Steam
shovels already have started excavations
for the foundation, but the community
organizations, including the Park View
Citizens Association, the Park View
Parent-Teacher Association and the
Park View Womans Club, were unwill-
ing TO allow the work to be begun with
out formal recognition.

their face value, every allowance being
made for cases of hysteria, which may
simulate real organic trouble. The atti-
tude of the church toward miracles, he
said, differs from that of materialists in
that 1t does not start with the convic-
ton that they are improbable or i'm
possible, so that evidence in favor of
them is treated differently than that
against them. All evidence Is weighed
by the same standards.
Points Out Hume Contention.
AS the contrary Of the church's po-
sition he pointed out the contention Of
the Scottish philosopher Hume, who
started with the assumption that q
miracle necessarily was impossible and
that II there was overwhelming evidence
In favor Of 1t this must signify merely
that the witnesses were unreliable, how
ever honest might be their intentions.
The church does not assume the un-
reliability Of a witness simply because
he teSttf1eS to seemingly impossible hap
penings, but judges his reliability by the
same standards as would be used for
contrary witnesses.
There are, it was pointed out, two
claSSiflcationS Of miracles. The first in
clude those happenings which could not
have been brought about by no natural
power, such as bringing the dead to
life.
The second are happenings which
could have been brought about by the
forces of nature, but which take place
differently and are entirely out of pro-
portion to the results which might nor
mally be expected. Such was the chang
ing Of water into wine, which might be
accomplished by q chemical process,
but not Immediately . In great guam

They say the federation is not getting
anywhere-that it is wasting its time

portance. When was a delegate to the
federation I found the same thing 10
be true"
The delegates from the Connecticut
avenue body to the Federation are
Harry C. Grove and Robert Lynch.
Their report to the association Mon
day night is likely to precipitate a
lively debate. Mr.. Quinter believes the
sentiment of the association is over
whelmingly in favor of withdrawal from
the federation.
He said the Connecticut Avenue
Association has no special grievance
against the federation, but that many

Mrs. Grace Newman is somewhat deaf
and sometimes cannot hear the door,

Tilden street.
Until last Sunday, however, she ex-
perienced no embarrassment on this
score, for she had an extra pair of ears,
very keen ones.
They belonged to Chink, woolly,
alert Chinese chow dog. Chink could
hear the doorbell as it gave the first
preliminary tinkle.
That was Chink's cue to dart in
search of his mistress. He apprised
her of visitors by Juggling at her skirts,
and frisking about in delighted antici-
patton.
Last Sunday Chink either strayed or
was stolen. No one in the neighbor-
hood has heard of him since, although
q wide search was instituted.
Any one with knowledge of q Chinese
dog answering to Chink, is asked to
communicate with $500 Tilden street
where the dog Is missed.

SEEKS TO QUASH
DAYTON CHARGES
Counsel Declares There Is No
Law by Which Woman May
Sit on Jury.

The present grand jury has been
attacked in two pleas in abatement
filed on behalf OF Dexter Churchill
Dayton, charged with first-degree muir
der in connection with the death by
strangulation of Marjorie ODonneil
and of Benjamin Buck, accused of OPP
Grating bucket shop. Ten reasons
why the Dayton indictment should he
quaShed are mentioned in one plea
and about IS reasons set forth in the
Buck case.
Through Attorneys Ring & Cobb
Dayton claims that there is no pro-
vision of law by which woman may
sit on the grand jury, and Eileen Lally
and Grace F. Mackey are so serving.
Buck through Attorneys Harry s.
Barger and H. Winship Wheatly asserts
that there was no public drawing Of the
names OF the grandjurors, but the draw
ing was held in the private room of the
jury commissioner. He also asserts that
the names of prospective jurors are
not jointly selected by the jury COM
missioner, but are privately handed to
them by the clerk OF the commission
and then ordered into the jury box
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
will oppose the pleas and will insist on
court decision or the points alleged
against the validity of the present
grand jury, which is the third to be
attacked consecutively.
The validity Of the April grand jury
is under attack awaiting court decision,
the July grand jury also was ques-
toned and, without waiting for the
court to act, Mr.. Rover ordered three
important cases reaSSigned for grand
jury action, and Special Assistant
United States Attorney General John
E. Laskey is again submitting the
Mcpherson murder case. The present
grand jury was organized in October.
James N. Fitzpatrick, jr., foreman OF
the grand jury, is declared by Attorneys
Barger & Wheatley to be Improperly
serving because in the summons to jury
duty he was described as James NJ
Fitzpatrick, no junior appearing after
the name Several other grand jurors
were improperly described in the list
of jurors and in the subpoenas, it is
alleged.
Failure to ask the panel If any were
connected with the Police ornFire d.
partment is urged as error in the ena-
paneiing, and the point is made that
they were not separately sworn.

COED IS BURNED
BY ACID BLAST
Miss LeWton Back in Classes
Today Following Labora-
tory Accident.

Miss Roda Lewton, sophomore pre-
medical student at George Washington
University, was back at her classes to-
day after narrow escape yesterday
when a flask of hot concentrated sui
phuric acid exploded and threatened
seriously to impair her sight.
The explosion occurred while she was
conducting an experiment in the or
ganic chemistry laboratory, during
which 1t was necessary to heat mix
ture of sulphuric acid and bromine
Suddenly the cork shot from the
flask and the hot, powerful acid sprayed
over her left shoulder and across her
eyes. The young woman cried out in
pain and members of the class rushed
to her assistance.
Benjamin D. Van Evera, chemistry
instructor, was in the room, ard Imme-
diately applied sodium bicarbonate to
neutralize the acid. The comparative
slight nature of Miss Lewton's burns and
the fact that her eyes were not seriously
injured are attributed directly to his
quick action.
Van Evera then took the girl to the
university hospital, where she was
treated by DR.. L. B. Alexander. who
assured her that she would not lose
leT SlSlC. FOT some June, however
her eyes must be treated every day,
he said.
Following hospital treatment Van
Evera took her to the home of q
friend and from there she was taken
to her home, at 113 Chestnut street,
Takoma Park, Md.
Miss Lewton was graduated from
Central High School two years ago
While there she was prominent in ath-
letics and was a member of the rif1e
team. She also took part in water
sports. Following graduation she at
tended Antioch College, Antioch, Ohio
for a year and then transferred to
George Washington University
At the age of is Miss Lewton was
chosen from 100 900 contestants as one
of the editors of the Camp Fire Girls
national magazine.
