Father May Thrash Youth.

A father has right to thrash his
disobedient son even If the youth is no
longer child in the accepted sense.
This was the ruling Of the Appeal Court,
in Cologne, Germany, in acquitting a
man who whipped his 1s-year-old son
with a walking stick. A lower court
had sentenced him to two weeks i'm
prisonment for cruelty. Evidence show.
ed that the man had whipped his son
and daughter all their lives. Because
the youth would not give up q com.
panion the father thrashed him so Wig
orously that the sons cries aroused the
neighborhood.

INCREASE
ON D, {. BREAD

A city-wide, cent-a-pound in
crease in the price Of bread be-
came effective today with two
leading chain stores the first to
post the new price.
The rise was brought about,
one baker explained, by the in.
increased cost of flour. Some
bakers had quantities of flour on
hand that had been purchased
before the rise became effective
and they continued the old price
for bread until forced to pur-
chase new flour.
However, the office of DR.. Fred
eric C. Howe, consumers counsel
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, said the increase
would be investigated and full
publicity given for the reason.
The wholesale price rose gen.
orally from 7 to cents and the
retail price in most stores went
from 8 to 9 cents for the one.

INQUIRY SEEKS
WRECK BLAME
By International News Service

With the injured in yesterdays
train wreck reported as doing well
in Washington hospitals, Acting
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
today was expected to set the date
for the inquest into the deaths of
the engineer and fireman who
were killed when the Crescent Linn
tied plunged from a bridge over
the Eastern Branch.
Five passengers are still con-
fined to their beds at Casualty
Hospital and five more are at
Emergency. Passengers whose in
juries were not serious enough to
require hospital care continued
their journey yesterday.
Responsibility Sought
The inquest will be the only
formal investigation of the wreck
which can be carried on by the
District. The District Engineer
Commissioner and the Public
Utilities Commission have no
control over railroad bridges.
The coroner, however, will sum-
mon members of the crew, pass

weekend activities hampered as
a result of the storm. All but
five of the public picnic grounds
were so badly hit that they will
be closed.
In Rock Greek Park three of
the bride paths and five of the
footpath bridges have been
washed out, while the vehicular
bridges at Sheriff. Drive and the
Milk House Ford have been closed
pending examination of the
foundations.
Creek RACES
Rock Greek is rushing torrent
and it is feared that the current
has weakened the abutments of
the bridges. All the fords in the
park have been closed because
of the high water.
Rustic benches and picnic
tables in the park were swept
away, and Park Police are trying
to find them.
1t will be Monday at least until
the work can be completed,
officials estimated as every avail
able man was placed on the job.
5000 Get Jobs
Close to 5000 persons on the
Emergency Relief Division list
have been given work clearing
up debris in the city.
One of the biggest jobs is the
removal of several thousand
yards of earth deposited on
New York Avenue Northeast by
a landslide from a high bank
along PatterSon'S Woods.
The Division of Trees and
Parking is also confronted with
a huge task, some 400 trees
either being uprooted or damaged
so badly as to require removal.

Hyde Park Statement

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug.
25 (I.N.S.). - Initiation was
definitely taken out of the
Administration picture for the
present by word from Presi-
dent Roosevelt here today.
This word came from the
President at the conclusion of a
long conference he held with
Secretary of the Treasury Will
liam Woodin. AS Woodin left,
both he and the President said
that for the present, at least,
this Government does not intend
to initiate.
WOOdin to Keep Post
Secretary Woodin does not i'm
tend to resign either, this was
made equally plain by both the
President and Woodin.
Woodin arrived here last night,
and left with Mrs. Woodin at
1880 this morning. He and the
President spent most of their time
talking over Treasury finances,
and Woodin painted a highly
satisfying picture for the Chief
Executive.
The Treasury, Woodin advised,
is in shape to handle all of the
public works financing that the
President cares to speed toward
completion. All he wants; Woodin
told his chief, was a little notice
to give time to set the necessary
financing machinery in motion.
In addition to Treasury fin
ancing, Government credits and
maturities, Woodin talked over
with Mr.. Roosevelt proposed
executive. order designed to put
real teeth in the anti-gold hoard
ing order of the administration.

Woodin'S conference almost
dovetailed into another finance
parley on the Presidents engage
ment list. This afternoon, the
Executive will receive Budget Di-
rector Lewis Douglas, to talk
about the fiscal affairs of the
Government.
William C. Bullitt, assistant to
Secretary of State Hull, arrived
here early today, and, it was
presumed, would see the PreSi.
dent during the day. The nature
of his call was not revealed.

DAIRY FARMERS
ASK MILK BAN
BY International News Service

By international News Service
A petition attacking the con-
SUitutionality of the agricultural
adjustment act and asking an in
junction to prohibit Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
from enforcing terms of the act,
was filed in District of Columbia
Supreme Court today by repre-
sentatives of approximately 1000
Pennsylvania dairy farmers.
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue
signed an order giving Wallace
until September 1 to show cause
why the injunction petition
should not be granted.
The suit was filed by the Cap
ital City Milk Producers Asso-
citation, of Mechanicsville, Pa,
which represents dairy farmers
in Adams, Cumberland, Dauphin,
Franklin, Lebanon, Perry and
York counties.
The petition charged that the
license, which Wallace is author
lied to grant under the act, ar
bitrarily fixes prices which other
persc ociations lay law
full pay to the producers asso-
Citations for its ducts. The
suit claimed this unconctitu-

The agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration act has already been
attacked in two previou- suits by
Illinois producers which are now
pending in court. Today's suit
was the first filed on behalf of
farm producers.

DELANO PLAN

Roosevelt Holds Up Changes
In Present Personnel,
Pending "DeCision"
By EDWARD LOCKETT

HYDE PARK, Aug. 25
'IN.S.). - Indications that
President Roosevelt will allow
W a $ hi ! g t on's commission
government to remain as
it is for some time to come
and then change the District
governmental setul', were
strengthened here today.
The President, it was learned,
does not intend to pick success
ors to Commissioners Richelder-
fer and Crosby during his stay
here and probably will let the
matter rest for some time after
he returns to Washington.
Confers With Uncle
This development came, sig
nificantly enough, on the heels
of conference between tn e
President and his uncle, Frederic
A. Delano, who was for years
head of the United States Park
and Planning Commission.
Delano for some time has ad-
vocated a change in the District
Government, to place authority
in the hands of a single person
instead of a board of three as
is now the case. The President
thinks favorably Of this proposal,
and has talked the thing over
with Delano many times.
Assignment for Howe
Delano, it was understood,
turned over to the President some
time ago a draft of his proposal
and Mr.. Roosevelt assigned his
secretary, Louis M. Howe, to the
Job of making preliminary study
of the matter.
The Delano plan would place
administrative authority in the
District in the hands of one man,
aided by an advisory council of
some kind.
There was no definite announce
ment here that the Presidents
idea in pOStpOnlng acClOn on the
commissionerships meant he
would let the present setup ride
on through until a change was
made.
Taking His Time.
On the other hand, it was
pretty definitely revealed that
nothing in the way of commission
ership appointments will be forth
coming within considerable
time.
Speculation of an indefinite
sort has presented Delano as hav-
ing not only pretty thoroughly
worked out the details of his
proposed plan but he is also
represented as favCring Lieut..

PROHIBITIONS THIRTEENTH
 BIRTHDAY.

Last Monday, January 16, National Prohibition was 13 years old Conceived in 19l7 ratified by 36 States by January 29, 1919, which date the sec retary of State gave notice by proclamation that it would become effective on January l6 1920, ana on that date the National Prohibition Act otherwise known as the Volstead Act started out on its momentous career,
 No. man agency today can accurately measure how greatly Prohibition has affected the American Government and it's people Under it monstous evils have sprouted, mushroom-hke, instead of the great benefcences that to have followed in it's wake. Under it, criminal bands have combined into super organizations of violence and terrorism with Mdas-ke wealth at their command, giving them a power that has enabled them to challenge local, State and National Governments and still live and prosper.
 In the lives of men and nations, 13 years is not a long span. Yet it has been more than long enough to bring about sweeping reversal of public opinion on this question. Only two States failed to ratity the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution Connecticut and Rhode Island. The total vote in the Senates of the several States 1910 for and 237 agains-846 per cent. dry. In the lower Houses of the several States, the vote 3,782 for and 1035 against-78.5 per cent. dry
 These percentages very likely were higher than the division of sentiment in the people at large
  the immediate breakdown of enforcement and, as the evils of the system clearly delineated in each succeeding year, the drift of sentiment was promptly against it and last years elections demonstrated beyond any shadow of doubt that an overwhelming majority, probably as strong as the official dry sentiment in 1920 and is wet.
 Prohibitions deathnell has been sounded. The present lame duck session of Congress may not start execution proceedings to carry out the verdict of the people delivered last November at the polls If it does not it will not be responsive to that de- cision There is however no question that the next Congress will take such action by submitting to the several States resolution to repeal the Eigh- teenth Amendment And ratification by sufficient number of States to make it effective ought not to require lengthy period of years. Prohibition may survive it's fourteenth and fifteenth birthdays but if it does it will be stunted and freakish dwarf ineffective, if that is possible than during its recent life.

Andean Naval Warfare.
(New York T'imes.)


 An interesting item it would make if a United States naval squadron and Canadian flo- tilla manoevured in the Rocky Mountains some where between Senator WheeerS Butte Mont, and Senator Borans Boise City, Idaho. The interest would primarily consist not in the danger of war between the United States and Canada, but in the fact that navies should find it easy to navigate mountains
 Such is the first impression which the layman with his modest knowledge of South American geography will derive from the news of Peruvian and Colombian warships gathering against each other in the Letica region the port of Iquitos on the borders of Peru Colombia and Brazil. That is where our casual memories show the Andes soar ing up to a greater height than the Rocky Noun tainS. It is very much if our hypothetical Am erican and Canadian warships had sailed up the Mississippi and Missouri and then developed a ca pacity for climbing mountains.
 The explanation, of course, is in the Amazon River a mighty stream which has rivals in length but none that approaches it in girth Two thousand miles from it's it is said to be three miles wide for considerable part of the year and deep enough to float cruisers
