K|CK-bACK RACKET
PROBE APPROVED
Resolution Contemplates
Nationwide Quiz on Labor
and Contractors.

Broadened to apply to the country
as a whole, the Senate resolution
calling for an investigator tito re-
lations between building contractors
and their employees on public projects
was approved today by the Senate
Education and Labor Committee. In
It's original form it would have ap
piled only to public building jobs in
Washington.
1t calls specifically for an inquiry
to determine whether employees on
public buildings receive the prevailing
wage rates for building trade workers,
and whether employees are forced to
give up any part of the compensa-
ton they receive, practice described
in the resolution as a "kick-back
racket"
1t also calls for an inquiry to find
out whether employees are discharged
and refused further employment for
protesting against such 'kick-back
racket or other abuses"
The committee also amended the
resolution by asking for an appropria-
ton of $500 to cover expenses of
the investigation.
Senator Walsh. Democrat, of Massa-
chusetts, committee chairman, said
he would file the favorable report in
the Senate this afternoon. at which
time it will be Immediately referred

penses. Senator Walsh said he ex-
pected the committee would return the
resolution to the Senate tomorrow

NIGHT PARKING
BAN PROTESTED
Automotive Trade Body
Holds Action Would Re-
duCe Car Sales.

The Washington Automotive Trade
Association last night went on record
as opposed to any prohibition of all
night parking for the reason that such
a ban would Immediately affect the
sales of automobiles ir the District
The association recommended that
nothing of that tendency should be
done at this time, when business
should be encouraged instead OF re-
tarded
In summarizing the arguments ad-
vanced at the meeting against the
parking prohibition, R. j. Murphy
president of the association, said that
many of those who own cars in the
District have bought them on the
theory that they would not be forced
to keep them in garages.
Would Not Have Bought.
If they had known that they would
be put to the additional expense of
hiring garage space, he said. many
purchasers would have refrained from
buying.
The average automobile sold in
Washington, he said. sells for 5000
of which the purchaser pays $50 in
cash and on the average S12 per
month on the balance for 10 months
Garage space would cost an added
40 per cent, a consideration large
enough to cause many to hesitate
before incurring the added expense.
He said that Washingtonians are
accustomed, through long years of ex-
perience, to park their cars on the
street and that this is one of the rea.
sons that the city has a greater den.
sity of automobiles to population thar
any other city, with the possible ex-
ception of Los Angeles, Calf
One Car to Every Three Persons.
In Washington, he said, there is
one automobile to every three persons
in Philadelphia one for every nine
persons, in Pittsburgh one for every
eleven and in Baltimore one for every
seven. Mr.. Murphy is querying Sec
retarieS of automobile trade associa
tions throughout the country for COM
parable figures.
If garage space at S5 per month Is
to be added to the expense of own
ing a 5000 automobile, he said, il
would mean 80 per cent of the value
of the automobile per annum.
The inevitable decrease in automo.
bile sales would carry with it, he said
a decrease in the business of films
stations, service stations and garages
and a decrease in income to the Dis.
trict from gasoline taxes and othe1
taxation on motor vehicle owners.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-(UP)--Sap are go- ing to be the lucky stones this year. The Queen of England gave her complete set of these precious gems to Princess Marina when she became the Duchess of Kent.
 The story goes that the Queen called Marina into her boudoir one morning and presented her with an album containing pho- tographs of all the royal jewels She then told her she was going to give her all of the sapphire set except one large brooch, to which she was especially at- tached.
 The next day she again sent for Marina and told her that she had long talk, with the King, and he had thought it somewhat selfish to keep out the brooch, so she had decided to give that to her, too.
 Exquisite settings make each facet of the stones shine with the maximum briliance and minimum display of ostenatiousness. Be- ware, though, for there probably will be lot of synthetic sapphires now that the Duchess of Kent. with her preference for blue. has started the vogue. You can make artificial sapphires of ammonia alum fused in blowpipe flame, but the best real ones come from Ceylon. They also are found in New South Wales, Queensland. Tasmania, North Carolina and Montana.

 CHILDREN
M Ollve Roberts Hsftpa 7,

"Yes, dear, Santa will bring you a great big dolly" 7 "As high as me?" "Oh, well-maybe. But a great big one anyway"
 And a trunk and a buggy and a bed and bureau and a house and"
 Hold on, there, young lady. Remember Santa's sack can't hold everything. But I'm sure he'll bring you dolly and a bed, any, way, and lots of clothes for your new child
 'I want a million dresses for her and shoes and stockings and hats. And want a little piano and a kitchen and a bathtub."
 Mary was improvising. She shifted as the spirit moved her. But she had some sort of an idea that the house on Christmas morn ing would look like the toy shops she had visited.
 Anyway she hurried oyer to Patty's house to tell Patty she was to get just about everything therc was for little girls to play with.
 Sacrifices Required
 Patty had and always had had about ten times too many toys for any one child. What was there peats as her bother put it.. There were no gaps left to fill.
 This was the problem Mary's mother worried about. She knew that the doll would have to be a very modest one and that she her. self would have to stay up nights to make an extra dress out of gay, scraps. If there was to be @ lit- tie bedy it meant tramping until she dropped to save the last nickel.
 "But it doesn't hurt anything" she thought, Ito give Mary a few Besides, can't have her rushing over to Patty's and telling them that I said she can't have much. Or have her feel that Santa Claus Is neglecting her and dumping all the wonderful things at Patty's door.
 "When she gets her presents on Christmas she will be so happy she'll forget in her excitement over the new things" Fancy Needs Control It is a problem that disturbs many mother just now. However, there is one comfort. When children are at the "believ- ing" age, generally they are still young enough not to make too many comparisons.
 One thing a mother might do to make things easier is to stop this exaggerated figuring early. Not to discourage or make children un- happy, but to control too many flights into the impossible. To con- centrate attention on the possible is best.

 They tumbled travelling bags from the closet. Sarah wiped them off carefully, keeping up running conversation, trying to seem cheer full. She was dazed. Surely, this was Q dream. Presently she would open sleepy eyes and say Ann, ' had the most ridiculous dream last night. I thought you walked in and calmly announced you were mar ried to Peter Kendall"

 Ann did not reply. With the packing finished, she sat in a big chair. looking very small, very weary and sad. She was wearing a blue suit, a white ruffled blouse and a small blue hat, fitting close to her bronze hair.
 The telephone rang. Sarah said nervously, "Peter. You'd better go"
 Ann whispered. "1ts Tony. You go."
 It was Tony.
 Ann heard Sarah saying "Yes, Ann is here, Tony. No, you can't see her tonight. If you come, you can't get in."
 There was silence for moment. Then, You mustn't come. l tell you she can't see you"
 Sarah hung up the telephone and turned to Ann.

FOOD FOR BOYS

FOOD FOR BOYs I wonder, sometimes, whether little boys, in the tall timber are ever compelled by misguided par er,ts to take castor oil any more. It's a long while now since I have been appealed to for succor in such a case. It begins to look as though the castor oil complex is pretty well SelAgated to history.
 But here Is d boy down in Jersey who is in g serious predicament. Let him state his complaint and then we'll see what can be done about 1t.
 Dear Doctor:
 Please advise me what to do.
 am a boy 12 years old, and I
 hate fish but do go crazy
 about canned salmon and white
 meat tuna fish. Are they the
 same food value and vitamins,
 etc? If you say so my mother
 will cut out all the fresh fish
 and let me have the other
 kind. Our fish days in this
 bunk house are Mondays and
 Thursdays. I choked over to-
 day, but please, Doctor, save
 me from Thursday. Thanks lot.
 Sincerely,
 Funny, commonly called tuna, Dr Webster informed me, is any of several sea fishes of the riackerel family, especially the great tuiiny which often weighs 100 pounds, Tie tunny of the Atlantic coast is called horse mackere1 and is rather coarse and oily. But the tunny or tuna fish caught in the southern Pacific is fine eating.
 Either canned tuna fish or canned salmon is of the same value as- the fresh fish in nutritive ma terial. Canning fish in the modern way does not destroy the vitamins. Canned salmon has been found to retain a considerable portion of the iodia naturally present in sea fish. Indeed an ordinary can of salmon contains more i6din than one gets in iodized salt in a whole mouth.
 There is no reason that can conceive why Ted should have to eat fresh fish if he doesn't like his flah that way. In fact I know of no good reason why any boy should be required to eat fish or spinach or oatmeal or mashed potato or sulphur and rno1asses or castor oil on his pancakes. Not even for punishment due for his sins.
 If a boy receives his pint or quart of pure fresh milk (prefer- ably raw if pure raw milk is ob- tainable, but if not then raw milk brought to a boil for a minute rather than rasteurized milk). and one or two eggs. cooked the way he likes, or lots butter on his breafi or plenty of cheese of one kind Of

Dexter, psychologist of Agnes Scott College, Georgia, studied the grades of the mothers and daughters of two colleges and found there was strong tendency for the sister to gain similar grades but a much less tendency for these to resemble the grades obtained by their mothers. Intel- ligence tests given to mothers and daughters usually show a rather high relationship between the inc teIligence of the mothers and that of their daughters. but in school work probably interest and indus try, and not intelligence cause most of these differences in school achievement.
