A thug last night slashed a
Washington visitor six times with

The victim was James C. Ken
nedy, so, of Brooklyn, N. Y, stop
ping at the Raleigh Hotel, who
was set upon by the man at Fiji
tenth Street and Constitution
Avenue, as he was taking a walk.
Mr.. Kennedy is in Emergency
Hospital. He said he thought the
robber, who attacked him from
the rear, was slugging him in the
back, but after he had collapsed
and been robbed, and the attacker
had made his getaway, it was
found that for each time the vic
tim had been struck in the back,
there was a knife wound. His con-
dition is said to be undetermined.
Mr.. Kennedy said he believed his
attacker was white man.

NEUVE

Pennsylvania Joined
BY Maryland In
Barring Troops

Fast on the heels Of an order
from the War Department eX-
Guiding Virginia and Washington
National Guardsmen from partici-
patton in maneuvers in Pennsyl-
vania next week came an order
today prohibiting the troops from
entering Maryland. The order
was issued by the Maryland State
health department.
To avoid further interstate diff
ficultieS officers of the District
National Guard decided to hold
their maneuvers next week at
Camp Simms, Anacostia, most of

lumbia.

GINA troops from participation in
the Pennsylvania maneuvers was
ordered by Gen. Douglas MacAr-
thur, Army Chief of Staff. and
Acting Secretary of War in the
absence of Secretary of War Dern
and of the assistant secretaries.
Ban ASKED Dy EaFle
General Macarthur issued his
order at the request of Gov.
George H. Earle of Pennsylvania,
who requested the ban, because
of excessive prevalence Of infan.
tile paralysis in Washington and
Virginia"
Following this development.
leaders of the District National
Guard decided to hold their
maneuvers at Camp Ritchie, Cas-
cade, Md.
Then came announcement of
the Maryland ban, excluding
Washington National Guardsmen.
Boys Stay in Camp
Decision Of the local Guards
men to camp at AnacoStia caused
Superintendent of Police Ernest
w. Brown to rescind an order
issued earlier today to break up
the boys camp at Cascade, Md,
where more than 200 Washington
boys are guests of the Metropoll'
tan Police Department. The boys
will be allowed to remain another
week, Major Brown said. Two
more contingents of washington
boys will be sent later.
General Macarthur in a tele-
gram today notified Maj. Gen.
Dennis E. Nolan, in New York, in
charge of teh maneuvers, of the
order barring washington and V1r-
ginia National Guardsmen, and
the change in plans which will
necessitate the concentration at
Camp Simms.
Fourteen new cases of infantile
paralysis we're reported from Vir-
ginia today, bringing the total
number of cases there since June
l to AS.
No new cases of the malady
were reported from either Wash
ington or Maryland.

Martinsburg, Md. today banned

DR.. George C. Rutland, District
Health officer. announced today
there are only five cases of infan'
tile paralysis in washington. He
denied he had asked to have

President Plans
Arkansas Visit

FORREST CITY. Ark, July 20.
CUP).-President Roosevelt plans
to visit Arkansas this fall, Senate
Majority Leader JOS. I. Robinson
said last night.
The Presidents visit would be
interpreted, politically, as a geS-
ture in behalf of Sen. Robinson )
campaign for reelection. The
President might possibly cross
trails with the blatant Sen. Huey
Long of Louisiana. Long has
threatened to invade Arkansas and
campaign against Robinson, Just
as he stumped that state for Sen.
Hattie Caraway in 1882.
Robinson told a crowd Of 25,-
600, gathered to celebrate a bum
per peach crop in the Crowley,s
Ridge area, that Mr.. Roosevelt
sent them his personal greetings.
The senator defended the New
Deal and attacked its enemies bit
terly. He said Republicans were so
hopelessly divided that they dare
not openly discuss presidential
candidates because they know 1t
would provoke irreconciliable diff
ferenceS.

my LIFE is MY OWN"

Without awaiting parental response, couple OBJ
tains marriage license. The idea is that they in
tend to wed whether there shall be parental con-
sent or objection. "My life is my own" says the
prospective bridegroom. The implication is that a
Young man should be free to live his life as he
chooses.
The theme is haekneyed. Zoe Beckey, Caroline
Chatfeld, Dorothy Dix and other advisers have dis
cussed it many times There is nothing new to add
Ito their opinions An individuals life is his own
but he owes CERTAIN moral duties to his parents and
to the world at large. ,,.4a m
In too many of these cases young men and young
women look to their families to assist them, but
wish to brook interference. The element of fan
play enters the equation. No man, no woman, car
be independent absolutely. "My life is my own" is
declaration of independence. Time is when it i:
rebellion in thin disguise. News ant

BRING BACK CHAPERONES
}By WiCKES WANBOLDT

. Quite so, But if her little girl
had to be in a place where rattle
snakes abounded, would she not
want the child to be on the look
out for rattlesnakes or had she
rather keep the little girls mind
off so unlovely a subject as rattle
snakes and have her run the risk
Of being fatally bitten?
Zone thing l know" declared a
self-contained young woman, "you
can't fool me about men! | can
look at man and tell if he has
the devil in HIM"
That's what you think, sister.
But the trouble with your belief
is that nobody knows, not even
the man himself, when the devil
twill get into him.
! There is one fact which most
persons - particularly women -
new er get through their heads;
and that is this:
There is such a thing as tenn
porary sex insanity-and it may
strike without warning, like a
bird Of prey darting from the
sky onto its quarry.
And there are fiends in hu-
man form. And there are decent
fellows who suddenly become pos
sessed by fiends.
Girls, big and little, should be
taught and trained not to go un-
chaperoned into any situation that
could possibly result disastrously
to them.
Today in some circles chaperons
are regarded as old-fashioned.
The chaperon idea was not
somebody's absurd notion-it did
not originate merely in the minds
Of sticklers for propriety. 1t was
evolved after centuries of tragic
experiences and experiments. The
chaperon is simply common
sense protection for girls.
There is none so ignorant as
she who thinks she knows, but
does not know.

BEHIND THE SCENES

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

But majority leaders managed to
adjourn the House which, under
the rules, kept the bill off the
floor at least until Aug. u.
Speaker Byrns subsequently
went down TO the floor after adj
journment and started to bawl out
Hill for alleged misrepresentation
Of the president. They had a warm
little fight
Somebody's lying" snapped
Hill. -
But that only left everyone per.
picked and suspicious and sore.
STRANGELY enough, there is No.
~ more popular man in Washing
ton than the man charged with
the dismissal of 1000 NRA EN-.
ployes.
Nearly everyone in contact with
him joins in praising Acting Chair
man James O'Neill as an executive
and a human being.
But 0'Neill is naive. When Elk.
ecutiye Officer Alvin Brown, since
gone to help General Johnson ad.
minister work relief in New York.
told him that lists of NRA EN-.
ployes should be sent up to sena.
tors SO they could recommend dis.
missal or retention of employees on
basis of their private means and
needs, O'Neill fell for it.
Nobody ever made any such ex.
PLANTATION to congressman, who are
treating tha NRA cleanout on a
purely patronage basis, with the
result that numerous worthless
people will be kept on.
Typists and stenographers are
bearing the brunt of the dismissal
wave to date, on the theory that
it's easier for them to get jobs
than it is for other employees.
Many of the $4,000 to $4,000 year
employees will be kept, but their
salaries are being drastiealiy cut. NJ
