 Marching Troops

London, Aug. 4.-(UP) .-Twen- ty years ago today Europe really went to war. The horror with which sober minded Europeans had contemplated hostilities gave way to the human thrill at the tramp of soldiers feet to the blare of military bands.

Great Britain went to war at midnight as a guarantor of Bel gium's inviolability. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Am erican neutrality.
 The Association of German Jews since subdued as non-aryan-in proclamation urged Jews to vol unteer for service in the German army.

 Warning to Both Sides

 If the strike is not settled by Sunday night, Olson will cancel the permits allowing 1000 trucks to operate under the protection of martial law. and issue new permits only to trucks transporting the es- entials.

 The extension was requested by Rev. Francis J. Haas and E. H. Dunnigan, federal mediators, Both said the strike might be ended be- fore Sunday.

BOARD To HEAR DRY
APPEAL TOMORROW
Takoma, D. c., Citizens Want
Area Set Aside With Liquor
Banned.

The District Commissioners will
conduct a hearing on the question of
designating Takoma, D. C, as dry
area" at l0:30 am. tomorrow in the
board room of the District Building.
The hearing will be held at the
formal request of w. c. Magathan,
president of the Citizens Association
of Takoma. The citizens group pre-
viously had requested the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board to set aside
t.. section as a dry area. The A B.
G. Board, however, declined to make
such ruling with the explanation
that as a matter of policy, no sector
or area would be set aside under a
ban against all forms of liquor license,
but that each liquor license applica-
ton would be acted on separately and
on its own merits.
Subsequently, Magathan addressed
a letter to the Commissioners asking
them to accord the Takoma citizens
''the privilege and courtesy of a pub
lie hearing before the full Board of
Commissioners" In their reply, the
Commissioners set tomorrow for the
hearing and suggested plat prepared
outlining the particular portion of
Takoma which it is desired to be set
aside as a dry area"

PLASTERERS BACK
ON Jobs AT S1.5O.
Workers End Strike on All
Except Two Federal
Buildings.

On all but two of the Government

cording to Union officers.
Involved in the triplet building
situation also is the fact that casters
belonging to the Bricklayers Union
still were moulding acoustical stone in
the Government Auditorium
The plasterers claim this is their
work, but it is understood there is
only about weeks additional work
of pouring the acoustical stone. Lee
could not be reached in connection
with the union statement as to why
the men did not go to work on his
jobs.
PlastererS resumed work on the new
Department of Justice Building, and
the new addition to the City Post

delayed during the strike.
Settlement of the plasterers strike,
with the $3.50 an hour wage for a
30-hour week virtually clears up the
major labor difficulties, which have
beset the Government building pro-
gram in Washington, with the single
exception of the plasterers differences

II always has been primary OBJ
ject Of home and church education
The Puritan held the dread images OF
death and damnation before the tot

home education has been quite effl-
cient. It has frequently been noted
that the criminal comes from bad
)r broken home where, presumably
character education is at a minimum.
This. of course. is not always the
case and the fact adds TO the COM
pleMty of the situation.
Military training has been. in
large measure, character education.
Whether 1t is a good or bad technique
is another matter. It's essential OBJ
ject has been to condition the for
titude Of the individual TO manifest
itself In certain specific directions
Training of character often has been
brought forward in Justification of
school sports. 1t also has been ad-
vanced in justification of the old
fashioned classical type of high
school and college education, with
the contention that contact through
literature with the great characters
of the past is good for the character
of the students.
Nor has the public school ever lost
sight entirely of the necessity for
character education. But various
factors have operated to keep it at
a minimum. First is the seculariza-
ton of the public school in the
United States with the implied obli-
cation to leave such things as moral
education to the home and church.
Character" is a broad term, in
terpreted differently by different per-
sons. 1t would be risky to go very
deeply into the field without a
standard definition and a standard
technique.
Secondly, the emphasis of educa-
tional psychology has been on the
training of intelligence and the most
tangible results have been obtained
in this field. Character experiment
tation necessarily has been too diffuSe
