r Y Apply to be once more in
IL America, the former Miss
Klara Mayr Of Oberammer-
l. i gau, who gave up her role of
Mary Magdalene in the ia
nous Passion Play to become the
bride of a childhood sweetheart, DR..
Anton Lang. jr, spent her first day
in Washington today looking with
eager expectancy toward a new world
that is gradually unfolding itself be-
fore her.
It began Monday night when the
young bride and bridegroom reached
New York after a 3,000-mile voyage
on the Bremen to elude ship report
ers and came quietly to Washington
last night to take up a new home in
the Fairfax Hotel. They had hurried
their wedding in Oberammergau so
that DR.. Lang, son of the former
Christus of the Passion Play, might
return here in time for the opening
Of Georgetown University, where he
has been professor of German since
last year.
This morning DR.. Lang was attend
ing to his duties at the college and
his bride forced to remain indoors by
the rain busted herself with the things
any bride is likely to do in making
her home ready. She looked wistfully
out Of the rain-spattered windows
and remarked that "at home the
mountains are all covered with snow"
Mrs. Lang Is petite and blond with
blue eyes. but q merry demeanor and
sraile that breaks through q usually
serene countenance. She is happy to
be back In America, she said, for she
remembers the thrills of her first
visit to this country for six months in

1881. She was in Washington for only
day, she said, and is looking for
ward to seeing all the wonderful
things there are to see in the National
Capital.
"It is not quite like being alone in
strange country" she said in her
clearly enunciated English. which she
just picked up" when a young girl
on a visit to London. you see, my
husband is from Oberammergau, too,
and We have brought with US so many
reminders"
Leaving the Passion Play to become
bride was not easily accomplished,
she explained, for the 30Oth anni-
versary season had been extended be-
yond their expectations and the village
fathers were reluctant to release her
from her role. But DR.. Lang told
them that he had to be back in wash
ington early in September and that
we would have to be married now or
wait another year."
"You know, we had waited nearly a
year anyway" she said in explaining
that married woman could not take
part In the Passion Play.
It was not without a wrench that
she parted company with the company
of players and gave up her role to hel
understudy, Rita Posch. She had beer
member of the Passion Play cast
since 1922, when she first started with
the small children in the drama.

Father Beats Baby
Because 1t Refused
To Say Its Prayers

A mother told Judge Gus A. Schuldt
in Police Court this morning that
her husband had severely beaten their
2-year-old child because the baby
refused to say its prayers in the
manner the father demanded. The
infants body was displayed to the
court, showing large discolored bruises
on his back and legs.
The father, Talmadge L. Hudson,
"a, q doorman at q local hotel, told
the court he was sorry" he had
struck the child.
After listening to the testimony
of the father and mother of their
search for work and their arrival in
Washington three weeks ago, Judge
Schuldt ruled that the mother and
child were to be returned to her rel
atives in Fort Myers, Fla, and the
father is to remain In this city. The
father was placed on probation for

MORE CASH ASKED
TOL|GHT STREETS
Kern Seeks Added Funds to
Make Possible Full Use
of Facilities.

To make possible full use Of street
lights which were cut of or dimmed
this year because of lack of adequate
funds, Walter e. Kern, District elec-
trical engineer, is asking for an in
crease in appropriations in his 1886
estimates, made public today.
He seeks an appropriation of $685.
TOO next year for street lighting, this
being an increase of $127,ooo over
current appropriations. Such sum
would provide for improvement Of
street lights in the Federal Triangle
area as well as to restore to use lights
in scattered sections of the city which
were affected by the economy cut or
dered last session by Congress.
An appropriation of $55,0o0 for ex-
tension of the Police Department ra-
dio system was asked by Kern at the
suggestion of Mai. Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police. Installation
Of loud speaker equipment in each
police station and bureau is planned.
Additional cables and other equip
ment is needed.
A new appropriation item Of $29,-
600 also is requested for the purpose
of extension of cables for fire alarms,
police patrol boxes and telephone serv-
ice of the District government at
points throughout the city. This
fund is sought as third of three
year program.
Kern said it was impossible to pro-
vide any appreciable extension of
such services with present cable and
said some sections of the city now
are without adequate fire alarm and
police call boxes.
A sum of $4,000 is asked for the
making of a survey Of the location Of
cables for police and fire call boxes
and District telephone systems, and
the purchase Of an automobile.

INCREASE 4.6 PCT.
Advance in TWo-Week Pc.
riod Greater Than Ma
tionaI Average.

With retail food prices advancing
an average of 80 per cent in the
United States during the two weeks
ended August 28, Washington con-
sumers faced an increase of as pei
cent. The advance in the Capital was
the fourth largest among the 81 cities
upon which the bi-weekly report oi
the Bureau of Labor Statistics Is
based. %s-. y y
Only Dallas, Little Rock and Mil
Waukee had greater Increases than
Washington. At the other extreme
pfiees-in Scranton, Pa, advanced only
one-tenth of per cent. In six othel
cities the advances were less than Z
per cent. y s"-+ - :.
The current index of the country
is 1853, based upon the 1918 average
as 100. For Washington, the index is
1857. This figure is 81 per cent
higher than a year ago and 1913 per
cent above the average on August IS,
1892.
Based on 42 Items.
The tabulation is based upon AZ
food items. For the country as a
whole, rs showed advances, four de-
clined and 13 remained at the Level
OF two weeks ago. Among the items
to sell higher are bread, macaroni
rice butter, cheese, fresh milk, bacon
chuck roast, ham, hens, lamb, pork
chops, rib roast, round steak, sirloin
steak, lard, white potatoes, eggs,
coffee, tea and canned vegetables.
Classified by groups, the largest ad-
yances were shown by meats. The
index for this group is 1892, which is
81 per cent higher than the index
for two weeks earlier. Pork chops
advanced 26 per cent. ,.,
Only bananas, cabbage, onions and
oranges showed a decrease in price.
Some Show Small Changes.
Those showing changes too small
to record included corn flakes, corn
meal, wheat flour, rolled oats, wheat
cereal, evaporated milk, navy beans,
oleomargarine, prunes, raisins, red
salmon and sugar.
To indicate the important part the
advances in Washington played to
bring up the average for the country
as a whole. SO of the 81 reporting
cities had advances smaller than the
80 average for the Nation. However,
some advance was shown for each
city participating.

ernment should bear, at least in part.
The tunnel would begin at Seven
teenth street, perhaps even further
west, and come out In front Of the
District Building.
He said he regarded this as a ne
cessity not only for the distant future,
but for the immediate present.
H. c. whitehurst, director Of high
ways, read into the record estimates
of the cost of putting the several re-
routing plans into effect. Repaving
of space in the area in which it is
proposed to abandon track, he said,
would cost $383,000. In many cases,
it would be necessary also to repave
the area adjacent to the track struc-
ture at the cost of an additional
$375,000.
Street Widening Cost.
If tracks are to be laid in Fifteenth
street, the cost of widening the road
way between H street and New York
avenue would be about s25,000, he
said, and If track is to be laid on H
street between Fourteenth and Thir-
teenth street, it would be necessary
to widen the street at cost of $20,-
900. In addition to these sums, there
would be an expense of 1000 for
miscellaneous work, including reset
ting curbs, catchbasins, and cutters
at various points throughout the
system.
Whitehurst pointed out that much
Of the company's track is in deplor-
able condition. He said the Highway
Department had surveyed all of the
track in 1929-30, making list of all
the track that should be replaced or
repaired. Another survey in July of
this year showed that much Of the
same track still needed improvement.
Connecticut and Wisconsin avenue
trackage is in particularly bad shape,
he said.
Fifteenth Street Artery.
whitehurst gave it as his opinion
that it would be unfortunate to put
tracks in Fifteenth street, an artery
naturally suitable for automobile
traffic. The least Objectionable re-
routing plan in his view, he said, was
one of the plans of Fred A. Sager,
commission engineer. providing for
