On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
ON things Material and Immaterial.

Governing bodies throughout
the country who desire to fix
everything with bond issues,
had their eyes opened two
weeks ago when St. Louis
County received not one bid for
a million dollars worth of poor
relief bonds. One of the richest
counties in the state, with only
a small bonded debt finds it i'm
possible to raise money with
bonds, how does the small
municipality expect to do it?

Contempt Action
Threatened to Aid
Divorce Counsel
Husbands Will Be Forced
to Pay Attorneys Fees,
Appeal Court Says.

District courts may resort to con-
tempt proceedings to force recalcitrant
husbands in divorce actions to pay their
wives attorneys fees, the District Court
of Appeals ruled In q decision published
today.
This point was decided In settlement
Of the case Of Jean M. Boardman, an
attorney, suing William p. Carey, for
mer State Department employe, for
cousel fees awarded him by the District
Supreme Court following his wife's suit
for divorce in 1924. The wife, Julie
w. Carey, was not granted q divorce,
but was awarded permanent mainten-
ance, custody Of an infant child and
taxable costs.
The court directed Carey to pay his
wife's attorney $50 as his fee In the
case. This Carey IS alleged to have re-
fused to do and the District Supreme
Court upheld him In his refusal, de-
Gliding that it could enforce its award
Of counsel fees pending disposition Of q
divorce case. but not after the f1nal
decree was entered.
The decision of the appellate court
today reverses this decision and renders
Carey subject to a contempt decree
unless he pays the $50 fee.

Supreme Court Refuses to
Force War Secretary
to Give Permit.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Lucien H. and Rebekah S. Greathouse
were denied permission today by the
Supreme Court to maintain mandamus
against the Secretary of War to compel
him to permit them to erect a wharf
in the Potomac River at Rosslyn, Va,
below the Key Bridge from land they
owned in Virginia.
The District courts had refused to
grant them a mandamus to compel the
Secretary Of War to issue the permit
after the chief Of Engineers had held
the wharf would be no obstruction to
navigation. The land owners declared
they had a contract to lease their lands
to the Sun Oil Co. conditioned on OBJ
tanning permit for wharf.
The Government contended the Sec
retary Of War had acted within his
legal discretion in withholding the per-
init on deciding the wharf would in

REDUCTION OF STREET CAR NOISE
NEAR HOUSE BUILDING PROMISED
Utilities Commission Chairman Informs D. c. Group
Changes Will Be Made to, End Disturbance.

Chairman Patrick of the Public
Utilities Commission today promised
the House District Committee to do
everything in the power of the COM
mission to minimize the noise caused
by street cars at the intersection Of
First and B streets southeast.
Chairman Norton of the District
Committee had complained to the COM
mission that the noise disrupted men,
bers Of the House, whose offices are in
the old House ONCE Building. One of
the principal objectors was Represent
ative Summers, Democrat, of Texas,
who said the Judiciary Committee, of
which he IS chairman, had difficulty in
conducting hearings because of the
noise. The Judiciary Committee room
Is in the northeast corner Of the old
House ONCE Building near the inter-
section.
II have personally observed condi-
tions there and the commission will do
everything in its power to lessen the
annoyance in question" Patrick wrote
Mrs. Norton.
AT its meeting on the fourth Of May
the commission ordered the removal OF
the switches at the end Of the car track
between the southbound track on First
street and the westbound track on B
street. The construction Of straight
track In place Of these switches will, Il
.1 hoped, aid very materially IN 70.

ducing this noise.
Some of this noise Is caused by the
speed at which the street cars are oper-
ated. Both the street railway companies
have been directed to instruct their
motormen to operate cars at q very
moderate rate Of speed over this cross
ing and to take every precaution against
unnecessary noise.
1T may be possible, as you suggest,
to re-route the cars, alternating and
changing the track layout. Anything
Of this kind involving the removal Of
tracks or building of new tracks,
think. will have to await the merger
Of the two street railway companies.
There will, no doubt, be many
changes under unified operation, as It
may be that both tracks on First
street south Of B street can be eimi-
mated. There Is also the possibility
that New Jersey avenue cars viii no
longer operate to the Navy Yard, and
as q consequence that the curves from
First street, east into B street, can be
eliminated. The commission win give
most serious consideration to the track
layout at First and B streets when
track changes and re-routing resulting
from the merger are being worked out.

will not cure the trouble, then to the

PATENT IS UPHELD
Court Holds Public Rights Would
Be Denied in Oil Recov-

A decree Of the District Supreme
Court refusing to compel the United
States commissioner Of patents to
issue to Henry L. Doherty, head Of
Cities Service Corporation, q patent
for an invention for recovering oil from
partly depleted wells, was upheld to-
day In a decision Of the District Court
Of Appeals.
Doherty had claimed the invention
was an improvement over another
method, which was patented In 1914,
but which patent had expired.
The Court Of Appeals held that, since
the previous patent had expired, the
secrets Of the patent were open to the
public and the granting Of the Doherty
patent would deny this public right.

Rush Expected Before Wednesday
to Avoid Cancellation

Considerably more than half Of the
1000 retailers Of beer in the District
had failed up to noon today to pay
the sales tax on the beverage they
dispensed here last month.
This increased prospect Of a hectic
eleventh-hour rush for the necessary
payment of the tax, since the beer
permits of those who have not submit
ted their sales reports and paid the
tax by close of business Wednesday
automatically are to be revoked by the
District Commissioners.
Eighty-nine additional retailers

the sale last month Of 6,610 barrels OF
beer. At the rate Of 81 barrel, the
