HIGH COURT CURB
ON BOTTLES ASKED
u. S. Fights to Uphold Seizure
as Aid to Prohibition
Enforcement.

~ the Associated Press.
The Government urged the Supreme
Court yesterday to aid 1t in more effec-
tive prohibition enforcement by pre-
venting stores from selling bottles,
casks and other containers which will
enable bootleggers to deliver their prod
ucts to customers in an attractive man
ner.
The question reached the court in an
appeal of Ike Danovitz OF Pittsburgh,
Pa, as the surviving partner OF the
Feitler Bottle Co., protesting against
the seizure and confiscation by prohi-
hilton enforcement agents of a stock
Of empty barrels, bottles, corks and
other articles.
Defended by Government.
The Government defended the seizure
on the ground that the articles were IN
tended for sale for the illegal manu-
facture of liquor.
vitz. insisted that the seizure was IL
legal on the ground that the prohibi-
ton law condemned traffic in articles
used only in Illegal manufacture. He
argued that the manufacture OF liquor
had ceased before It was bottled or
placed in other containers.
Assistant Attorney General Sisson
took direct issue with this argument.
Insisting that the bottling and prepare
ton Of the liquor for the market was
q part of the manufacture declared IL
legal by the Volstead act.
Would Extend Decision.
Bonsall took the view that should the
Supreme Court sustain the lower courts
In declaring the seizure and conflsca-
ton legal, It would not only aim blow
at the manufacture and sale of bottles
generally, but the decision also must be
extended to the manufacture of fruit
Jars and all other containers susceptible
of use by bootleggers in marketing their
product Assistant Attorney General
Sisson asserted that If the Government
succeeded In preventing bootleggers OBJ
tanning whisky bottles and compelled
them to use fruit jars and milk bottles
It would be q material step forward in
prohibition enforcement.
Every member of the court asked
questions which indicated approval Of
the decision Of the loweE courts, author
izing the seizure.

MAKE ARGUMENT
FOR SKySCRAPERS
W. c. Clark and ]. L. King
Ston Claim Street Traffic
Is Aided.

The debate over the question as to
whether skyscrapers are major cause
of traffic congestion in city streets con-
tinues apace.
Far from being the major cause of
street traffic congestion, as has been
frequently claimed. the modern sky
scraper is an important factor in the
relief of such congestion, according to
w. G. Clark, vice president of S. w.
Straus g. Co., and j. L. Kingston Of
Sloan & Robertson.
Debate over high and low buildings
has been heard often in Washington in
connection with proposals to raise or
of buildings.
Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Kingston go back
to ancient Roman times to find argu-
ments in support of their contentious.

OWNED HOME HELD
CRIME DETERRENT
Juvenile Judges Discover
Striking Difference in
Parental Training.

The juvenile delinquent, that tragic
little figure brought before the courts
at an early age, who often develops
into an adult criminal, seldom comes
from an owned home, according to two
famous judges in two widely separated
cities.
The experience of Judge Francis B.
Allegretti of Chicago and Judge S. D.
Murphy of Birmingham, Ala, with the
home environment of bad boys and
girls is related by the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards. Good
children certainly can be raised in rent
ed quarters, says the association, but 1t
is interesting to note that the records
of two cities show the majority of
juvenile delinquents have not been ex-
posed to the owned-home influence.
"Of course the largest per cent OF
boys who come before me come from
homes that are not owned by their
parents" says Judge Allegretti, presid-
ing over the Boys Court in Chicago.
Home ownership on the part OF
more parents would stimulate parental
care and attention and reduce offenses
among juveniles because lack of parent
al care causes by far, the greater
number of delinquencies among our
youth.
"In these days of the room and-a-
half apartment we surely need cam
paign which will bring to parents the
realization that children cannot be
properly reared in cramped quarters.
There cannot be an atmosphere of love,
devotion, loyalty and obedience in a
residence where privacy is almost out
of the question and room is at a
premium"
Eighty-seven per cent of the young
delinquents of Jefferson County. Ala,
come from habitats that do not belong
to their parents, according to Judge
S. D. Murphy, who for 20 years has
served the Juvenile and Domestic Re-
lations Court in Birmingham.
Interested in this phase of the young
offender, Judge Murphy for many years
has kept records as to the living con-
ditions surrounding children brought
before him. His figures, covering girls
as we'll as boys, show that only IL per
cent of the Juvenile delinquents from
the entire county come from owned
homes. >. -.,.,.
Home ownership makes it possible
for thousands of families to give their
children air and sunlight and the
proper places in which to play by tax
ing such families out into the SUBURBS
he points out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-05
They make the following additional

arguments:
Metropolitan traffic troubles were
known long before the development Of
the American skyscraper. Ancient Rome
had traffic jams, and the city employed
such modern devices as traffic police
men, one-way streets and 'taxicab
stands to combat them. Traffic has
been major problem in New York
since 1895. when oxcarts began clutter
ing up the roads and streets.
ut was found further that traffic
troubles are not limited tc cities, or
sections of cities, where skyscrapers
exist. In London, buildings are limited
to height of approximately 100 feet,
and traff1c Is as congested as in New
York. Paris and Buenos Aires, where
buildings are low, also having disturbing
traffic troubles. In Boston where, prior
to 1925, buildings were limited to 125
feet in height, and Los Angeles, where
the limitation Is $50 feet, traffic prob
lens are acute.
I'm such cities as New York, Chicago
and Pittsburgh, which have both sky
scraper districts and areas where lower
buildings are found. traffic was more
congested in the retail districts where
buildings are of low or moderate height.
The streets in front of department
stores and theaters, for example, tend to
be more crowded than those near tall
Office buildings.
"SkyscraperS are taking more and
more traffic from the streets and sub
shutting elevator traffic. In 16 build
ings in the Grand Central zone of New

Virginia pays for highway
improvements as the roads
are built. State and County
roads are built without bond
issues. The State of Vir-

for highways this year. This
pay-as-you-go policy assures
the Arlington County tax
payer that there will not he

you to remember: No heavy
real estate taxes for road
