Rain Fails to Stop Parade Of Fine CIothe:
at Ascot; American Horses Run
Calamity, But Lose

New stakes) had 80 horses to
start and was certainly a beau.
tiful sight.
The outstanding event Of the
last day at Ascot was the win
ming Of the Queen Alexandria
Stakes by Brown Jack. the
horse that has won the same
race for six years in succession
something that has never
happened in the annals Of
racing before.
Ever since the Ascot races
started, everyone has been
talking about Brown Jack; now
10 years old. What his chances
were to win again. If he were
not too old. and II it were not
better to let him rest on his
laurels?
But his owner, Sir Harold
Wherner, and his trainer. 1vor
Anthony. decided this-put him
in, and he came home the
winner again. You have never
heard such excitement and
cheering when they came into
the home stretch.
The crowds were yelling to
him with SobS in their throatS,
Come on, Jack" and Let him
go, Steve" to Steve Donoghue,
the jockey, and in he came,
well ahead Of the rest. Then
that vast crowd all went wild
and began running toward him.
They all seemed to want to
get to the horse and Steve
Donoghue, and they were liter.
ally fighting their way through
to see him; the horse, jockey,
trainer and owner were look
ing so proud and happy.
Brown Jack stood outside his
stall when it was all over, letting
the adoring crowds look at him,
and it seemed as if. when he
thought that they had III mad
a good look. he turned and
walked into. the stall.
The King sent for the owner, J,
trainer and jockey and shook
hands and congratulated them,
so the last day Of Ascot was a
success beyond words.
It didn't rain this last day,
and, whereas the costumes were
not quite as gorgeous as they
had been on the other days $50
many having been ruinedO, they
were still gorgeous enough. The
wind was not blowing so hats
and feather boas stayed put.
The Royal Ascot race meeting
is certainly something well
worth seeing, the most gorgeous
and fashionable race meeting in
England. I was told it was the
Ascot Of pre-war days, the very
best meeting they have had
since the war, with over $780,
600 distributed in prizes during
the four days Of the races.

Mr.. Noel.
Washington's waterfront, he
said, is falling into noticeable
decay and the running Of the
Presidents Cup Regatta here as
a national nautical event each
year will serve to bring many
Washingtonians to the water
front.
A water-wise population will not
suffer this valuable recreational
resource to oe neglected.

Not Criminal Case

For the purpose Of this case,
the fundamental point is that the
proceeding was not criminal one.
That neither-*he United States
nor the District Of Columbia was
seeking to punish a malefactor. It
was seeking to salvage girl who
was in danger Of becoming one.
In words which have often been
quoted, "the problem for determi'
nation by the judge was not. has
this girl committed a specific
wrong, but what is she. how has
she become what she is, and what
had best be done for her interest
and in the interest Of the State
to save her from a downward
career" People VS.. Lewis 260 New
York Reports 1T; % Harvard Law
Review 104-119.
The concept Of crime and pun
ishment disappears. All suggestion
and taint of criminality was in
tended to be and has been done
away with.
In Richardson VS.. Browning, Sc
Appeals D. c. 1856, the court said:
"The act entitled An Act for
the protection of children in
the District Of Columbia and
for other purposes approved
February 13, 1885 (2S Stat.
3O2), provided that the Wash.
ingtOn Humane Society should
have authority to prefer COM
plants before any court Of the
District Of Columbia having
jurisdiction In any case where
the welfare Of q child was in
vOlved. This act also gave au-
thOrity and power to the agents
of said society to take before
said courts dependent and de-
linquent children, and to prose

for such dependency or delin-
