COATS ID APPEAR
 IN SOBER COL0RS
JOseph'S Example SC0rned by Parisian Ateliers This Season
BY ADELAIDE KERR

New York. Aug. 96 lp-The se- lection of madama's winter coat is serious business this year. It's seri- ous because color often are sober and because around the coats color scheme and design the American woman is going 10 build her winter wardrobe.
 Goats have lost those box-llke con- tours. Most Of the new ones nip in at the waist bit. they flare some what at the bottom, and their col lars and cuffs are richly furred. They will enable madame 10 swish about with more elegance than has been her wont for several years.
 Black IS the favorite color fash ion leaders hack from Paris say. tete-de-negre (dark brown is close second. then come bottle green and wine red, Black coats are gen. erally fured n black. although beaver and similar furs may be used for the woman who prefers 2 har- m onious contrast.

 Buttons Reappear
 "One Of the most important notes on the winter models is the fact that they button. Women won't hold their coats around them this year as they've done for the last few seasons. They'll button them - and their hands will be free.
 The wool coats, richly trimmed or the short fur coat are going to be smarter this year than long fur coats, I believe. The longer dresses must flare a bit at the bottom to be graceful; coats follow the line and when long fur coats are design ed to flare they're apt 10 becom- cumbersome at the hem. Short fur coats, fitted a bit at the waist and reaching the hips, will be very smart, I think. With them large muffs will be carried"
 Miss Clynes believes the "sensible length for formal daytime coats is one which covers the curve of the calf. The frocks worn underneath. she says, must be one-quafer 70 one-half inch shorter. with no ends or points showing below the coat line.

DR.. WALSH TRACES
SOVIET AGITATION
Georgetown University Off
ciaI Scores Russians for
Geneva Speech.

DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, s. j., vice
president of Georgetown University, in
his third public lecture last night on
Russia reviewed evidences of Soviet in
tent to foment world revolution and
declared that the recent speech of
Maxim Litvinoff at Geneva was an ex-
ample of bolshevist audacity in sending
q delegate to insult the League of Ma
lions and ridicule proposals for peace
Charging that Stain and other boil
shevist leaders had urged the Com
munist party to make use of the I'M
employment situation in the United
States to further the revolutionary
movement, DR.. Walsh declared Russian
economists had predicted the financial
crash in Wall Street over year before
it happened. He had brought back with
him from Europe stenographic copy
of the Sixth Congress of the Third
International, held in Moscow in 1928,
from which he quoted the agitator,
Bukharin, as abiding to the impending
financial crash and the heavy losses
capitaliStic nations soon would under
go. In his opening address to the
Congress, DR.. Walsh said, Bukharin
had urged the Communists to take adj
vantage of the unemployment situa-
ton that would follow in this country.
Stain, too, in May, 1929, DR.. Walsh
declared, had encouraged the American
section of the Third Internationale to
seize upon conditions in this country
to foment strife.
81 consider that the Communist party
in the United States is one of the few
Communist parties to which history
has confided the decisive task of the
world revolutionary movement" he
quoted Stain as having said.

The head of the gingko is contcal ana
the branches are usually horizontal,

many Of the trees are planted in Wash

Noted for its grace and beauty in this
country, the gingko enjoys greater dis
tinction in Japan. There it is sacred
and is planted near the temples. Its
fruit Is little known in this land, but
throughout China and Japan it Is eaten
with relish The fruit, which is of the
size of a small plum, has pulp with
q disagreeable odor Of butyric acid and
inclosing kernel which, when roasted,
has a taste like that of maize.

SEEKS FAIR CHANCE
FOR WAITS ID. c.
w. w. Bride to Recommend
Legislation to Eliminate
Stigma on Birth.

Legislation directed to wiping out the
stigma of illegitimate birth in the Dis
trict is being considered by Corporation
Counsel william W. Bride, who will
recommend it to the District Commits
sioners as soon as the terms of a bill
drafted for this purpose have been
carefully scrutinized.
The bill on which the Bride report
will be based was drawn up by Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Edward M.
Welliver, formerly attached to Juvenile
Court but now at Police Court. The
bill provides that every child is the
legitimate child of its natural parents,
and is entitled to care, maintenance and
education, whether or not born in law
full wedlock." These words are to be
substituted for language in section of
the present law which states that every
child shall be deemed illegitimate who
shall be begotten and born out of
unlawful wedlock."
the approval of Mr.. Bride, who recon-
mended its passage to the Commission
ers in his annual report. In that docu-
ment Mr.. Bride said: "Our present law
is a cruel sixteenth century view. The
child is not responsible in the slightest
degree and the stigma should not in
justice be held against him." Mr.. Bride
went on to point out that the law now
compels the father of an illegitimate
child to support him only up to the age
of IA, but the compulsory school act
compels the child to continue in school
until he has completed the eighth grade
or reached the age of Is. This law also
restricts the type of work which a minor
between IA and 16 may do and forbids
him absolutely to work unless he can
obtain work permit. There are
stringent requirements forbidding him
to get the permit for reasons of health.
In Mr.. Brides words, IF he has so
much as hollow tooth the Department
of Work Permits may in law refuse him
permit to work in any capacity"
The proposed bill has been approved
in principle by the Board of Public
Welfare and the finishing touches are
now being put upon it for submission
to the District Commissioners.

FLYTHE HOME RAID
CALLED LEGAL, BUT
CAUTION IS URGED
Crosby Says Police Used
bad Judgment" in Han
ding of Investigation.
MOTIVE OF lNFORMER
HAS NOT BEEN STATED
Newspaper Mans Complaint Closed
Issue With Department-Facts
Before Grand Jury.

Investigation into the recent raid on
the home of William P. Flythe. White
House newspaper correspondent, brought
forth a declaration today from Com
missioner Herbert B. Crosby that the
police should use good judgment"
when invading private home in search
of liquor.
Commissioner Crosby said he thought
the squad which raided Flythe's home
used bad judgment" but other than
that, his investigation failed to develop
anything for which the raiders could
be censured, and the case was closed
as far as the police are concerned.
Raid Declared Legal.
The Commissioner described the raid
on Flythe's home as lone Of those un-
fortunate things that just happen"
but declared it was legal in every re-
spect, since the police had acted on
a warrant sworn to by private citizen.
After the warrant had been issued, he
pointed out, the police had no other
course but to make the raid.
Gen. Crosby announced his findings
after conference this morning with
Maj. Henry G.. Pratt, superintendent
of police, who submitted verbal report
on the result of an investigation OF the
raid, made at the direction OF the Com
lowing Flythe's complaint to Gen.
Crosby.
Nal Pratt reported that seven mem
bers of the liquor squad took part In
the raid, and Gen. Crosby said he
thought the police had used bad
judgment" in going into the Flythe
home in such a large force when several
men would have been sufficient. The
investigation showed, the Commissioner
declared, that the liquor squad had
gone out on a series of raids and the
seven members happened to be together
when Flythe's home was reached.
Mans Motive UnreveaIed.
The inquiry, Commissioner Crosby
declared. did not reveal one of its
primary purposes-the motive which
actuated the man who Swore to the
warrant on which the police acted. The
Commissioner said the man at one time
had been employed by the Police De-
partment as an informer, but was no
longer connected with 1t In any way
and in fact was unknown TO the ponce
when he came to them with ln1orma-
ton on which the warrant was issued.
The raid on Flythe's home also Is
under investigation by the District
grand Jury. This action likewise was
taken on Flythe's complaint to United
states Attorney Leo A. Rover that the
man who swore to the warrant had
periured himself. The man, however,
has not appeared before the grand jury
but it has taken the testimony Oh a
number of witnesses, including United
states Commissioner Needham Turnage,
who issued the warrant; Police Inspector
T. r. Bean, who Is in command OF the
liquor squad, and William H. Hutchin--
son, real estate dealer, who is the rental
agent for the house in which Flythe
lives, at 1906 G street.
