School officials will not interfere
with the scheduled appearance here
Sunday of Gloria Perkins, 11-year-
tional Symphony Orchestra concert,
although no final decision has yet
been reached as to whether her ap-
pearancs is a violation of the child
labor law.
This was decided at a Board of
Education meeting yesterday after
noon in which DR.. Frank w. Ballou,
Superintendent of schools, ridiculed
an opinion on that and other child
labor cases handed down by e. Bar
rett Prettyman, corporation counsel.
The opinion was referred to the
four attorneys on the Board Of Edu-
cation for study, and rules of pro-
cedure will, not be changed to con-
form with Prettyman's finding until
they have approved it. Meanwhile,
Gloria and other children involved
will be allowed to fulfill other ex-
isting engagements.
Ballou criticized Prettyman's opin-
ion as requiring the child labor in
Spector to determine beforehand what
would be the psychological effect on
the child of the work for which the
permit was asked.
Prettyman felt that the playing OF
Gloria with the National Symphony
Is IAN important part Of her musical
education and therefore should be per-
mitted." He stressed the importance
of the psychological reaction of an
occupation on the child and said
school authorities should make dis.
Greet inquiries to ascertain this ef-
feet.
He said that Gloria's parents have
paid for her musical training and

Organized dairy farmers produc-
ing milk for the Washington market
are losing a little more than 6 cents
a gallon under estimated cost of pro-
duction. the Agriculture Department
announced today after a survey Of
cost data submitted by the farmers.
Results of the survey, as made public
by Assistant Corporation Counsel FL
wood H Seal, placed the cost at BOIL
cents a gallon. For class l milk,
which goes into bottles, the producers
are receiving between % and 80 cents
a gallon, while for class 2, used for
fluid cream and manufacturing pur-
poses, the farmer is being paid l6
cents a gallon.
c. L. Holmes. in charge of the
Division of Farm Management and
Costs of the Department of Agricul-
ture, wrote Seal:
I'VE wish to state that the cost
Of production studies, involving as
they do a large number Of estimates,
can be only approximate. We feel
that on the whole the cost calcula-
tions Of the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association are reasonable
and dependable, with the exceptions
as set forth
The exceptions noted by Holmes in
cluded items of credit which the pro-
ducers' association numbers had failed
to set forth in their cost charts.
However, the Agriculture Department
experts said large increase in feed
cost would wipe out the credits which
the farmers had neglected to allow.
In a statement accompanying the
cost data. the association claimed
Washington has the highest quality
milk supply of any city in the coun-
try. Grade A requirements in most
cities allow a maximum bacteria count
of from 100000 to 100000 per cubic
centimeter, whereas the majority of
Washington milk as delivered to the
dairy companies has less than 10000.
When bottled, the milk has only 5000
bacteria per cubic centimeter.
1T would, therefore, seem necessary
that the consuming public of Wash
ington continue to support the farms
producing milk for Washington in or
der that Washington may continue
to enjoy its excellent supply of milk, u
the producers statement said.

gether or by cutting back several
inches from the face of the stones, this
is an engineering problem that can be
accomplished without regard to the
present scaffolding," said Nagle.
THE work that we have set out
to do, We have almost accomplished, y
said he, adding that all defective
stones have been repaired by placing
mortar in the proper places and that
all vertical joints above the 150-foot
level have been reconditioned. The
mortar had fallen out, but Nagle
made it clear that this is no refiec-
ton upon the original builders. as
even the mortar that has now been
placed in position will have to be
renewed half a century or more
hence.
Nagle said one stone at the north
east corner is cracked-some say by
a bolt Of lightning-but it is SC
locked in the apex structure that il
would be inadvisable to attempt tc
move it, especially as it is bolted and
forms an integral part Of the top OF
the Monument In any event, he
said, it presents no danger.

Although the steel scafiolding
around the Washington Monument is
scheduled to be removed three weeks
from now, there are still some 200
stones in the shaft that should be
repaired, according to stonecutters at
work on the refacing job.
With completion of the task that
has made the Monument waterproof,
the scaffolding will be taken down to
allow the shaft to be cleaned with
soap and water from the top down.
John L Nagle, National Park Serv-
ice engineer. who is in charge of
the work. explained that 95 per cent
OF the approximately 200 stones af-
fected by deterioration are in the
lower rs feet, presenting an engineer
ing problem that would require a
different type Of scaffolding, for which
no funds are available.
The taking out of any stones In the

The law on failure TO stop after

Wilson.
Acts Title Erroneous
The act carries an erroneous
title and has been placed with me-

the charge of involuntary man

with the sentence of one to ten
years for nearly every juror drives
a car and in many instances places
himself mentally in the position OF

Alterations in the state laws are
needed if the laws are to become
effective and enforceable The
negligence of the auto driver should
be taken into consideration. The
driver who kills a child at street
intersection undoubtedly is more
negligent than the one who runs
down a child crossing the middle
of the square" Mr.. Wilson says.
The prosecutor urged the posi-
bility of an act holding an auto
driver criminally liable in the case
of negligence as well as the present
manslaughter acts liability of an
actual law violation being commit
ted in the commission Of the
tragedy.
Minor Rules Stressed

Judge Baker urged more stringent
obediance to minor traffic rules as;
obeying stop and 60 lights, rights
of drivers on preferential streets,
speed laws. as good methods to cut
down traffic fatalities.
He pointed out defects in state
laws.
And it seems to me that a def
mite time should be set for a person
reporting on an accident to police.
It is a natural impulse to run away
from violence, and I believe that
some persons would not be hit-and-
run drivers if given a reasonable
time in which to report their part
in an accident" Judge Baker

Speaker Warns Session
That Further LevieS Will
Cripple Business.

Warning that in 1885 many states
will attempt legislation harmful to
the motor truck industry and pro-
test against the current misuse of
gasoline tax funds, were made by
Chester G.. Moore. Chicago, Amer
lean Trucking Association vice
president. before the annual con-
vention of the Motor Truck Asso-
citation of Indiana, Inc, last night
at the Lincoln. He charged that
such steps, unless curbed, will
cripple or destroy the industry.
From the pockets of motor car
users and truck owners of America
come billions of dollars, and ship
pers have been given an opportunity
to be served economically and well,
but still many states will go on an
other orgy in 1885 of trying to legiS-
late the industry out Of business" "
Mr.. Moore declared.
The speaker said that gasoline
users are paying their share of the
nations bills as demonstrated by
the fact that since 1918 gasoline
taxes jumped from one million dol
lars to 518 millions.
Al G.. Feeney, state director of
safety, also spoke. He dealt with
various aspects of the state police
system. making a plea for use Of
the merit system and a complete
enforcement of state police from
politics. Recently returned from the
Washington conference on crime, he
mentioned proposed reforms dis
cuSsed there.
Il learned much to my gratif1ca-
ton at the Washington conference
that the opinions expressed by lead
ers indicate it is time we got busy
on a program of unification. Re-
forms shall be put into effect which
will improve our state police depart
ment, including a training school
for state police and dividing the de-
partment into three division-detec-
tives, state police and highway pa
troll. About all we have had has
been a highway patrol"
