WILBUR DISCUSSES
HEALTH OF CHILD
Pleads for Democracy of In

Experts Here.

Threescore Of the Nations EXPERTS
on child health and education gathered
today at the Interior Department and
heard Secretary of the Interior Wilbur,
chairman of the White House confer
ence on child health and protection,
plead for progression of the democracy
OF the intellect. Mr.. Wilbur said he
thinks the real democracy consists in
conflning the best opportunities to the
best students and declared that "democ-
racy cannot approach perfection until
1t gives the greatest scope to the best"
Here in America" he said, I'VE do
0 rather shabby job for our best stu
dents. We devote too much energy to
those who have to be whipped into line.
We develop too little technique to take
care of the more promising students
that they may be pushed out in front
and may be helped to 60 forward. We
should make progress, and think we
are making progress, toward so direct
ing education that it will conflne our
best opportunities to the best students.
Though some people may hold to the
opposite theory, am convinced that
doing just that Is democracy"

Of Falls Church Says.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, February %
Especially Mayor John Bethune, in
discussing the order signed yesterday by
Judge Howard Smith in the Arlington
County Court, issuing writ of marlda-
mus Against Town Clerk Treasurer
Thomas PRODIGY, made it plain that this
is a friendly suit" and that Probey
had accepted service, but failed to ap-
pear in person to defend himself be-
cause OF the fact that he is thoroughly
IN accord with the council In the action
taken.
The order is the outgrowth Of a sit
uation existing for years, and of a SEN
timent which has grown up among GER
tain citizens of the town that the town
Is not legally able to enforce collections
OF back taxes. The council has con-
sidered various means of enforcing
such collection, it being first decided 10
bring individual suits against taxpay-
ers, and list of 10 delinquents In va
rtous sections 2 of the town was pre-
pared TO provide the necessary prece-
dents. On further consideration, how
ever, the committee decided that the
only way in which public sentiment in
the town could be effectually influenced
was a court order requiring the treas
urer to comply with the town ordi-
nance, the legality of which had been
publicly questioned in some quarters,
and to proceed with attachment of per-
sonal property when necessary to COL
lect.

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, February
28.-Granting q petition of Ogle Mar
bury, attorney for George w. Page, bank
commissioner of Maryland and receiver
for the Southern Maryland Trust Co.,
Circuit Court Judge Joseph c. Mattingly
yesterday signed an order authorizing
the carrying out Of plan for reopen
ing of the institution.
In the event no unforeseen obstacles
arise the banks of the trust company
at Seat Pleasant and Upper Marlboro
which have been closed since December
ID, will reopen about March Is.
According TO John d. Hospelhorn,
deputy bank commissioner, only one
other Maryland bank has succeeded In
recognizing and reopening after being
placed In the hands of q receiver. This
was the bank Of Stevensville in Kent
County on the Eastern Shore which was
reopened in 1920. The character and
financial responsibility Of the stock
holders and directors of the Southern
Maryland Trust Co. under the reorgan-
ization effected during the past few
weeks was a large factor in influencing
oficials to approve the plan they have
worked out for its reopening, 1t was
said
ne cnleI features OF the plan call
for the reduction of the capital stock
from 100000 at 500 share to $780,
600 at SIS a share; the creation of a

contribution by the stockholders of
100000 in cash and an adjustment
with the F. H. Smith Co. whereby GER
tain obligations of former ofiicials of
that company win be removed from the

lions found in the bank when taken

marriages previously performed on such
reservations.
Deputy Clerk Holbrook stated that in
his opinion, under the present law,
county clerks In Virginia have no power
to issue licenses for ceremonies to be
performed on Government land. which
Is under Federal rather than State jIlris-
diction. When licenses are issued to
residents Of such reservations, in his
opinion, the ceremony must be per-
formed in county territory. The qIies-
ton came up earlier in the month, when
license was issued to the daughter of
an ofiicer stationed at Fort Humphreys,
q Government reservation located In
Fairfax County.
Holbrook ascertained from the clerk
Of the Arlington County Court that
similar licenses had been issued there
to residents of Fort Myer, the ceremony
being performed on the Fort Myer
reservation and not on Arlington Coun-
ty territory proper. Holbrook took the
stand, however, that no one Is at pres
ent legally deputized to issue marriage
licenses for wedding ceremonies on
Army posts in Virginia. The bill which
Senator Ball has sponsored and which
he states viii be passed without oppo-
sition was designed to eliminate such
legal tangles in future.
