ington correspondents how the prohi-
bition issue was debated year after
year by the American Bar Association
committees and finally resolutions
were adopted that deplored prohibi-
ton. Again and again the Bar Asso-
citation has properly tried to keep
itself out Of political and economic
contr ,versies. But If there is one kind
of problem on which the public would
wish enlightenment it is the question
Of obedience to the Constitution, ad-
herence to constitutional principles
and the rights of the citizen to be
protected by counsel even If he can
n. afford the expense himself, in
seeking to preserve his constitutional
rights.
Expert Opinions Lost.
Whatever criticism this writer may
have made of the tactical blunder of

connecting themselves with the Amer

be rendered pointless If q group Of

their own bar association or asked to

County Asked to Ban
AnV More Licenses

Sweeney's most frequent com
plant was that dealers are selling
whisky on Sunday.
Cheverly, through its president
Bert H. Wise, hit directly at ths
growth of a row of whisky stores
in Colmar Manor. In his state
ment to the board, he said:
"The number of licenses granted
so far would seem to be adequate
to serve the thirsty. There is little
doubt that an excessive number
Of liquor stores in one locality
serves to injure property values.
"The condition in Colmar Manor
commonly referred to as whisky
row is one that the neighboring
towns can hardly be proud of,
especially since the approach to
these other towns is through the
whisky roW!"

A. Z. DEMARAY

DR.. Walter Teichmann, promi-

the 1900 block I st. N. W., was
awarded a verdict in District
Supreme Court today in a $685.
600 negligence suit brought
against him by Celia Marcus, a
former patient.
The plaintiff accused the ply
sician of allowing an X-ray ma
chine to fall in her face as she
lay beneath it in his office while
being treated for a skin infection.
Attorneys Charles S. Baker
and Benjamin L. Topper, who
represented the physician, proved
to the jury's satisfaction that
the plaintiff had jerked her
head suddenly, causing the mis-
hap, which was without serious
consequence.

charged by Pepco, as compared
with those of the utility now

great saving to the people Of the
county, the Federation adopted a
resolution inviting Pepco. to extend

Says:

"MANY HAPPY RETURNS"
The Utopia Of politics was
reached the other day when all
the political parties involved
claimed that they were tickled
pink with the election returns
well, when all the politicians
are happy, it's a good sign for
everybody. except the taxpay-
erS.
Naturally, the Republicans
were the most elated. Now
that the country is in q little
better shape, they'd like to have
it back.
And when you simmer it
down, the COP. really has the
most cause to celebrate, as they
grabbed off quite q few big pO-
litical pIums. After all, even
an Elephant gets tired Of o
strict diet of peanuts.
so REMEMBER:
The public gets the returns
on election night. The boom
dOggIers from then on.

5 YOUNG GIRLS
STILL MISSING
FROM HOMES
Fl Disappear In Two
Weeks, Most of
Them Return

"Missing!"
In the last two weeks that entry
has appeared on the police blotter
opposite the names Of 81 Washing
ton women and girls-all Of them
under 80.
All but five have come back
the five are the mystery margin
of the 81. Search for these five
and the others who have since
returned has occupied much Of
the time of the police women's
bureau, headed by Captain Rhoda
J. Milliken.
Latest to sail for the port Of
missing girls is Beatrice Wheat,
19-year-old daughter of q New
orleans GA.) family, who Is be-
lieved to be in Washington. Her
parents have asked police to can
vas local cafes and night clubs
in the belief she is working as an
entertainer or waitress. She
weighs 112 pounds and has gray
eyes and dark brown hair. Some
times she uses the name Of Betty
Lewis, her father has informed
Washington police.
Missing Girls Listed
Five girls still missing from the
metropolitan area today were:
Corinna Loring, bride-to-be, who
disappeared from her home at
3110 Beech st., Mt. Rainer, Nd,
Monday night on the eve Of her
wedding.
Betty Bowman, 13-year-old Falls
Church., Vac high school fresh.
man who disappeared from her
Falls Church home September 10,
and for whose return a 5000 re.
ward has been offered by the
parents.
Mrs. Joan Pritt, 19-year-old wife,
who left her home at 227 E st.
N. W., October 20 and has not
been seen since.
Alva Carmen Thyrring, IS, who
vanished October IS after leaving
her home for Central High School.
She lived at AT Oglethorp st.
N. w.
Mary Dagres, IS, sought by her
mother since she left home at
304 H st. N. W., Monday.
Why do they leave home?
Where do they go, and how do
they get there?
Their reasons for leaving vary
Captain Milliken suggested. More
consistent Is the reason why they
come back. That which attracted
them loses much Of its glamour
and the ordeal experienced in
chasing it proves more severe than
the ultimate goal Is. worth,
No Two Cases Alike
"Of course" went on Captain
Milliken, mo two cases can be
covered by exactly the same
blanket of circumstances. A
young wife may rush out Of her
home following an argument with
IrlenQ nuSDanO, SGay away q lew
days to teach him a lesson.
After a few days Of reading about
all the furore she has caused,
she returns and everything is
quite as before.
The high school student leaves
her home for the change it affords
the tempo of her life. She is usu-
ally "fed up" with the Sameness
of the classrooms. She soon, as
a rule, becomes even more "fed
up" with the existence the change
affords.
The destination Of the deserter
is also speculative.
Some hitch-hike to the homes
of relatives in other cities; some
travel incognito, lodging them
selves in out-of-the-way places
where they are not likely to be
recognized and returned before
they have had their fling.
