RED CROSS TOLD
CHILD HEALTH
IMPORTANCE
Dr.. De KIeine Says Education,
Not of Little Folk, But of
Parents, Is a Prime Need

Child health is the principal OBJ
jective of every man, woman and
child in the United States, DR..
William De Kleine, national di-
rector of the medical health SER
vice of the American Red Cross,
told the Red Cross convention to-
day at the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
DR.. De Kleine said that child
health is the most important fac
tor in the growth of American
civilization and that everyone
should lend his utmost effort to
bring children to the realization
of what they must accomplish in
later life.
Urged Education
He pointed out cases where
undernourished children and little
folk who had not had oppor
tunity, had taken wrong paths,
not through their own fault, but
because of their environment. He
said that this can be easily cor
rected through the proper edu-
cation, not of children, but of
parents.
Others who spoke at the open
ing session of the convention to-
day were Col. M. A. Delaney, U.
S. A., formerly medical aide to
the governor general at the
Philippine Islands, and Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the Department
of Labor. and Miss Mabel C.
Boardman. secretary of the
American National Red Cross.
Col. De Laney Speaks
At the session last night Col.
NJ. A. Delaney, former medical
aide to the Governor General of
the Philippine Islands, outlined
the work done by the Organiza.
ton there. He told of the relief
work done in times of tropical
disasters and epidemics which
plague the natives of the islands.
He made reference to the ty-
phoon of 1928 when thousands
were killed and many made home
/ less
T. P. Sylvan, vice president of
the New York Telephone Com
pany, told of the peacetime work
of the Red Cross in caring for
those injured in the daily 5aiks
of life. He stressed the fact that
the organization always is ready
and on hand to give relief to
those who are in need.
Children Are Aided
The child of tomorrow will have
a better chance in the struggle
for success than adults of today
and it is all due to the work of
the Red Cross, according to Miss
Elizabeth Gordon Fox, executive
director of the Visiting Nurses
Association.
Miss Fox outlined the work
done by her organization during
the period, since it was formed
and declared that but for the aid
of the Red Cross much of the
work would have been impossible.
DR.. F. ]. Kelly, professor of
higher education at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, declared the Red
Cross" neither SObbed nor gushed
but gave aid where aid was
needed and is always ready to
serve"

WOMAN REPEAL
BACKERST THANK
W|CKERSHAM
Owe Debt of Gratitude to
Commission, President of
Society Tells Members

Prohibition will be the para
mount issue in the 1892 presiden
tial elections, and repeal is only a
matter of time, Mrs. Charles H
Sabin, of New York, predicted
today as chairman of the women's
organization for national prohibi
tion reform.
Rendering her annual report to
the thousand members of the or
ganization gathered at the May
flower Hotel for a two-day conven
ton, the New York clubwoman
said that wet sentiment had al
ready swept to a national victory
The Bible of the anti-prohibitiOr
movement hereafter should be the
report of the Wickersham Law En-
torcement Commission, Mrs
Sabin told the women.
Mrs. Sabin said:
Though by some feat of Jap
aneSe sword swallowing, the
commission managed in it's sum-
ming up as unit to eat its own
words, nevertheless for its find
ings we owe it a debt of graft
tude.
She Thanks Wickersham
"HOw absolutely it supports
our contentious has been fur
ther emphasized by Chairman
WickerSham, who said in a re-
cent speech in Boston: I should
have thought that the vets
would have derived more en-
cOuragement from the report
than the drys.'
Thank you, Mr.. Wickersham,
we did"
The speaker recounted the rise
Of wet sentiment in the United
States, as shown in the 1890 cleo
tions, and the fact that eight
leading States now have no
prohibition enforcement act on
their statute books. She added:
"Yet the PrOhibitiOnists, from
within some cyclone cellar
where they take refuge from
facts, claim that there has
been no change in public senti-
ment."
Only Important Issue
Mrs. Sabin declare that
"patriotism should be placed above
party" and that the only out
standing issue before the nation
was the liquor issue.
There are more than a thou
sand women from all sections of
the nation attending the conven-
ton. This afternoon Mrs. Sabin
and Mrs. August Belmont, of New
York, are to be the leading speak,
ers at the opening session.
The annual banquet of the or
ganiZation is to be held tonight,
with Matthew Woll, vice president
of the American Federation of
Labor, and DR.. Esther Loring
Richards, associate psychiatrist of
Johns Hopkins University, as the
leading speakers.
The repeal group brought to
this, it's second annual meeting, a
national roster which its officers
said bore more than 10000 names.
The question of 1882 political
policies other than the general
course of opposition to prohibition
will be postponed until after next
years national conventions. Off,
GERS of the repeal group said.

NEW AUTO MODELS
F. CATER TO WOMEN
Increased Speed and Pick
up Feature Many Exhibits
at New York Show.

BY :he Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Trends
toward pointed radiators, more somber
hues, low bodies OF accentuated length,
and increased speed and pickup for
the 1881 auto models were revealed to-
day with the opening of the thirty flrSt
national automobile show at Grand
Central Palace.
Eight-cylinder cars led the skies by
a slight margin. Manufacturers said
they soESht bodily steadiness" as well
as beauty. Openings to front and back
compartments were generally wider.
The swing away from the ultra bright
colors of former years was definite with
pastel shades of green, black, brown
and maroon leading in popularity. Wire
wheels were in color and chromium.
The manufacturers said increased
speed reflected improved roads and long
trunk highways which permit speeds up
to IS miles an hour for long distances,
while complications Of trafdc necesS1-
tated quicker pickup.
Especially addressing the ladies, the
manufacturers claim their new models
are easier to handle under all driving
conditions There will be less fatigue
for long distances, they say, and
clutches will respond to feather-like
pressure.
Adjustable drivers seats and steering
columns made their appearance in
many models and spare tires were all
most universally transferred from the
rear to fender wells.

ZetIin and Greg0r
Featured in Recital.
A LARGE audience was assembled
a yesterday at the Friday Morning
Music Club to hear Emanuel Zetlin,
violinist, and Henry 8. Gregor in
Joint recital. A program, devoted
for the first part to the modeTns and
for the last to Mozart, seemed well
chosen and to please all present.
These two musicians, who gave
recital together at Pierce Hall not
so long ago, seemed in their best
vein yesterday morning, Mr.. Zetlin's
violin being especially well equipped
with a round and SonorouS tone and
Mr.. Gregor's fingers displaying an
unusual amount Of suppleness in the
performance, especially, Of his own
compositions, Of which he played
two.
In the Ravel Gypsy Rhapsody" q
composition that bristles with violin
cataclysms and pitfalls, Mr.. Zetlin
unleashed all of his technical pow
ers, which are considerable, and
after a not over-stalwart beginning
finished with all h6gs flying and the
enthusiastic approval of the audience
resounding in his ears. He then
turned to the stately and always
welcome violin and piano Sonata in
A Major" by Mozart, which, with
the help of Mr.. Gregor, was fitting
ending to a program that was pleas
ing-if not too exciting-from flrSt
to last. Z. de 5. M.

Reviews and News of Washington Theaters.

photography and the most splendid
collection of sky and plane sequences
since the beginning of all things,
continues at the Columbia Tor a sec
ond week.
Visible In this film are paneranas
OF the air and burning, falling anS
nghtlng things SUFFICIENT to make
thrills and chtlls run occasional riot.
Against a background of clouds
which nature has piled up out of the
horizon with the most luxurious
hand the planes fight out their brief
existence and come to earth gaSping
Tor breath, wrapped in flames. These
particular aspects of the war, in
tens1fled by the dramatic pulse and
yet not overindulged with sentiment,
make these features of the film i'm
peratively worth seeing.
Those, however, who expect story
full of blood and thunder, provoca-
tive in overlooking the tear founts,
may possibly be disappointed. For
although Mr.. James Whale was
called in to add daub of the flavor
he instilled into Journeys End" the
actual staging of the story and its
results are woefully weak, and the
tearing apart of the emotions is not
done with especial finesse. The two
brother theme carrying on together
in the war, sacrificing, fighting and
dying almost side by side, has no
longer much of the novel about it.
Whether its lack of dramatic fervor
is due to the actors, Ben Lyon and
James Hall, or due to the fact that
in the middle of its four-year birth
the film found itself overtaken by
the talkies, it would be hard to de-
eide. The pauc1ty of story material,
however, need not deter one from
seeing the other thrills and enjoying
them, since they are the best of their
kind and probably seeped up Mr..
Hughes $4,000, 100000 at one fell
swoop. E. de S. M.
