boxing ORDINANCE
IS TURNED DOWN
Arlington Board Acts When
States Attorney Holds 1t
Unconstitutional.
BY a staff Correspondent of The Star.

By Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, July 15.-The proposed
boxing ordinance, which was potential
source of revenue for the American
Legion and the financially harassed
firemen. was turned down last night by
the county board after a hearing that
lasted for almost three hours.
The board had previously expressed
itself as not opposed to boxing, but
turned down the proposed ordinance
after it was informed by Common
wealth's Attorney Lawrence w. Douglas
that it would be unconstitutional to
pass an ordinance that would grant To
favored few privilege that would be
denied to others. H. H. Porter, at
torney for the American Legion and
author of substitute ordinance that
was proposed by that body, disagreed
with that statement.
Airport Planned Stadium.
In order to assist the chances OF the
passage of an ordinance tnat would
have permitted matches to be held by
civic or charitabl, organizations, the
Washington Hoover Airport withdrew
its proposed ordinance and application
for permit to hold bouts, Attorney
Frank L. Ball announcing that he knew
the board would not permit commercial
ization of the spot. 1t was revealed
later, however, that the airport had
hoped to build a stadium tor rent to
organizations desiring to hold bouts.
The fight against the ordinance was
led by w. w. Douglas, father Of the
commonwealth attorney. Common
wealth Attorney Douglas and Sheriff
Howard B. Fields stated that the ordi-
nance could not be enforced and that
it would be better to permit no boxing
at ALL
Firemen Favored Ordinances.
H H. Porter Of the American Legion
and J. L. Maloch Of the Arlington-Fair-
fax Counties Volunteer Firemen'S ASS0-
citation were the chief proponents The
latter said that the refusal of the au-
thoritieS to permit further games Of
chance at carnivalS had left the volun-
teer departments in financial straits
that could be overcome by the revenue
from boxing bouts. The firemen, he
said, would have welcomed either OF the
ordinances submitted.
Two ministers spoke. Rev. Walter F.
Wolff of the Arlington Presbyterian
Church opposed the ordinance and Rev.
A. E. Smith Of the Virginia Avenue
Christian Church supported it. There
were many other speakers on both sides.

LOST CHILD DEAD
IN SEWAGE BASIN
Minnesota Boy Is Found Near
Home-Kidnaping Theory
Probed.
BY the Associated Press.
NGINNEApOI .Ju1v 15-TWpn1

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, July l5.-Twenty-
months old Leslie >Delano, sought six
days as a possible kidnapping victim, was
found yesterday, dead.
His body was recovered from cess
pool near his suburban Columbia
Heights home, just a few hours before
the 125 National Guardsmen, who aided
police and neighbors in a widespread
hunt, were to have been recalled.
Possible Staying Probed.
Whether the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray Delano met an accidental death
or was slain, Coroner c. B. Thurston
was unable to determine. He planned
further inquiry today.
Thurston said he was unable to de-
eide how long the baby had been dead,
but indications were death had oc-
cured from one to three days ago.
The catch basin. part of a sewage
system of considerable length $50 feet
from the Delano home, had been ex-
amined Sunday by Columbia Heights
police
The sewage line connects several
homes of the neighborhood with a
nearby swamp and investigators said
the boy might have fallen into the
system at another point and the body
have been washed into the basin after
recent heavy rains.
Shaft Is Inspected.
The 15-foot wooden shaft of the cess
pool and its 10-inch square covering
were removed for inspection. The shaft
was studded with nails which might
have caused, authorities said, the
abrasions on the child's legs.
Leslie was last seen alive by a neigh
Dor boy half hour after his mother
had missed him.

VIRGINIA TO CUT
SCHOOL PENSIONS
40 Per Cent Reduction to Be
Made Effective October |,
Says State Official
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, July IS. - State
pensions for retired public school teach
ers in Virginia will De cut 40 per cent
of their present amounts with the next
quarterly payment, october l, John
Crosby of the State Department of Ed
ucation said yesterday.
Mr.. Crosby confirmed the report that
the pensions would be cut to 60 per
cent of their present amounts, explain
ing that the slash was due to the fact
that the pension system was founded
on an unsound actuarial basis, which
although working well for time. re-
suited in a gradually increasing num-
ber of teachers reaching the age OF
eligibility.
Reductions in teachers salaries
which are assessed l per cent for the
pension fund, has served to reduce
funds from this source and the fund is
being depleted despite the General AS
sembly's action in increasing State aio
to $50 900, Mr.. Crosby said.
He estimated that the teachers as
sessment would yield only $4,000 Q
year, which, with the State aid, viii
make a total of 100000. The last
quarterly distribution on July was
SG4,000.

TAILOR CLOTHES
LEAD THIS SEASON

1t, the mode is a tailored one, and
a revealing tailored mode.
With lot Of fur and furbelows,
It's perfectly possible to distract at
tention from these personal at
tributes. But in tailored clothes
you are really going to be yourself,
and it's fairly important to select
and plan wisely, so as to be your
best possible self.
Tailored clothes can, because of
their unpretentiousness, be inexpen-
sive without looking so. Providing,
Of course, the materials are good,
and that the tailoring and fit are
good. Shoddiness of fabric, or in
accuracy Of tailoring, shows up pitt
fully in simple clothes.
Perhaps the greatest expression
of the tailored mode is the suit.
Here you have the outstanding ex-
ample Of severe simplicity. But
even here we have many versions.
This year the jacket may even end
at the waistline or above it, but 1t
is closely fitted. Jacket and skirt
sometimes are Of contrasting colors.
Or often, a jacket Of plain fabric Is
worn with a checked skirt.
Mems wear suitings, with their
firm, hard-finished surfaces, are used
for some Of the very smart suits of
the spring. The worsted finishes
also take tailoring we'll, and have a
decidedly new look.
Probably the most popular coat
Of the season will be the tailored
one, serving all purposes, and be-
coming to every one who is young
enough to stand it's simplicity.
