 Mrs De Simone beamed and pre- dicted "We'll have no more stick em-up games" Police Captain Ira Mcdowell echoed the sentiment. Principal Reed offered his word. He was about to end the proceed ings, but the words never left his mouth.
 Someone threw snowball. Someone else said ouch" and threw a snowfall back. A couple of bystanders also threw snow- balls. In 10 seconds even John Dillinger would have run.
 Teachers screamed, children howled. Snow filled the air in clouds. Captain Mcdowell scurried precipitately for a squad car. Camermen atop a truck leaped to g. sheltering doorway. Mrs De Si- none, at the crowds center, hud- dled her head in her arms and walled.
 When the crowd got tired the toy guns were all burned and the fire low. But who cared? More snow is expected.

FAMED COLORED
 HORSEMAN DEAD
Tom Bass Passes in Mex ico-Rode in Cleveland's
 Inaugural Parade

, Mexico, Mo. (UP)-The death of Tom Bass, the best known negro horseman in the country, has served to recall many stories of his ability with horses and some of the more famous that heb red, trained, or showed.
 Bass, who died here recently, was born about 75 years ago. He never knew his exact age, for the births of negro boys in the pre- Civil war days were not consid- cred important.
 For many years Bass was a fa-
 miliar figure at the horse shows in Madison Square Garden, the American Royal at Kansas City, the St Louis Horse Show and the Chicago International. He turned down an invitation to exhibit at the Queen Victoria diamond jubi. lee in England. He rode in the in. augural parade of President Cleve- land, twice rode before President Coolidge, and was visited at his stables here by Presidents McKin- ley, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft. Queen Marie of Rumania applaud ed him at the St Louis show.
 Bass, before the turn of the cen tury, owned a livery stable iR Kansas City. His knowledge of horses was recognized even then, and fire department officials called on him for advice in selecting teams. It was a suggestion of his that led to the first Kansas City horse show, show that has grown into the famous American Royal. Bass was known for his honesty and integrity as well as for his almost uncanny knowledge of spotting fine horses and then training them. He was allowed al- most unlimited way in the pur- chase of horses by rich sportsmen.

Chicago, Dec 13-(UP)-At an average age of approximately 9 years, 2,00O Ryerson school pu- pills already have discovered that it may be all right to burn ones guns, but never ones bridges. Mrs Rose Durso De Simone had a con- siderable black and blue area yes- terday to prove it.
 Mrs De Simone, as president of the Ryerson Parent Teacher Asso- ciation, was an organizer with Principal W. W. Reed of a pretty ceremony in which the schools pupils brought to school a thou sand or so toy guns and slingshots and burned them. The idea was to discourage ambitions toward the life of a gangster.
 True, a disconcerting number of children brought caustic notes from their parents instead of the requested guns, but in general the ceremony went off with a bang.
 The kids had a fine game of cops and robbers before school. Then led by 11-year-old Jess Testa, they marched across the playground to the strains of a very martial high school band.
 Young MT Testa carried a ban ner proclaiming-prophetically, it eventuated-that "you don't need a gun to have any fun"
 Around a huge bonfire the 2,0O0 gathered, and promised lon our honor not to buy or play with any sort of toy gum" Then all-or al-

By HIIILIER KRIEGHBAUM

Washington, Dec 13-(UP)- Couples forced on public relief are having more children than neigh bors who still work, a survey of II 400 families showed to-day.
 pr Samuel A. Stouffer of the University of Wisconsin, who con- ducted the research at Milwaukee, Wis, said the data showed 35 per cent more confinement between october l, 1880, and December 31, 1883, among 5,52O families on pub lie relief than among a similar number of non-relief families.
 Confinements were not counted unless they took place more than nine months after going on relief. The expectation of a child tends in itself to force some families to go on relief, while this study sought to consider only those taking place after going on relief.
 The control group against which hte relief families were checked, Dr Stouffer pointed out, was sim liar in classes of work formerly done and in religion. Thus, differ ences in the birth rate which might have arisen from these factors were ruled out.
 During the period studied, the 5,52O relief families had 1922 children while the non-relief fam lilies had 9O4.
 pr Stouffer, who is now doing special investigation at the census bureau, explained that he could not make any generalizations from his findings but there was req, son to believe that they would ap. ply to the entire. country as a ten dency even if not as a percentage
 As is true in all recent popula. tion studies, the highest fertility was reported among the semi skilled and unskilled worker groups and the lowest among tht clerical group, the one which gen erally was regarded as having thu highest economic position of al those studied

 |Ln Relief Families
Survey Shows Couples Have More Children Than
 Their Neighbors Who Are Still Employed

In each classification of workers, couples married by a Catholic those who were married by magis- trates, Protestant clergymen or priest had more children than Jewish rabbis.
 In a recheck made on July l this year, DrR Stouffer found that the families that had continued on relief until that time had a 60 per cent higher birth rate than the couples who had been on relief and then been able to find sufficient economic support to go it on their own.
 He pointed out that such an ex- cess of births might be expected because the birth or expectation of a child would tend, on the aver age, to. keep a family on the relief rolls just as it would tend toward placing the family on the relief rolls for the first time. s

An Hit for Distance.

THAT the fair players will set some
new records for golf around
Washington Is certain. They can
pfAy the game as we'll as any but the
bess Of the male linksmen. and prob
ably one or two of them will shoot
Chevy Chase in the low 70s before the
Curtis Cup matches are over, partic-
ularly II the course Is fast, as 1t Is apt
70 be In September.
Miss Orcutt two years ago played
Columbia in "a strokes on day when
there was little roll to the ball. and
although she has had little luck in
scoring at Chevy Chase, she played 1t
more to familiarize herself with the
6hots than to do anything In scoring
Eay.
For sheer power and maximum dis
tance, Miss Orcutt and Helen Hicks
stand out in the world of feminine golf
Either can hit the ball as far as any
but the really long hitters among the
men, and both, as we'll as Miss Van
ease all those lengthy par holes at
Chevy Chase in two shots.
II Miss Wilson again heads the Brit
ish delegation. the feminine golfers
about Washington will see some real
slusging from the tee. for this British
lass is outdistanced by few men. She
takes a healthy cut at the ball and
knocks it an amazing distance.
BY any standard. the Curtis Cup
matches next Fall will bring to Wash
ingtonS large contingent Of feminine
players q new conception Of women's
golf. The topnotchers Of the game
among the fair players are not far be-
hind the best male amateurs and will
show to the popeyed galleries due to
follow them something new in the mat
ter Of walloping a golf ball for distance.

TOR the first time in the his

feminine golf in America
Win gather next September at
Chevy Chase Club in what Is
hailed as another successful de-
fense OF the Curtis Cup, premier
trophy of international links play
among the fair golfers of the two
great golfing nations Of the
world.
While two Of the big four" have ap-
peared here in informal matches, never
has the golfng populace Of the Capita
had the opportunity that will be afford
cd them early next Fall to see all the
leading feminine players Of the nation
gathered at local course. Nor have
the best Of the British fair players ever
shown their skill In Washington.
Plans already are in the making for
entertaining the members of the two
Curtis Cup teams, and the probability is
that most Of the members of the two
teams will be located at Chevy Chase
Club itself during the matches. 1t also
has been proposed that instead Of play
ing both singles and foursome in one
day. that the matches be held over two
days.
The big four" of American feminine
rolf include Glenna Collett Ware, five
times holder of the women's champion
ship; Virginia Van VIE. winner in 1882
and 1888; Maureen Orcutt and Helen
