came after the last formal unit of the
parade had passed. Although the
spectators had been standing for two
hours in the sun, thousands of them
surged out on the street in an out
march where the paraders left of,
following the last band around to the
State house grounds.
After the parade, Gov. Landon re-

past the reviewing stand In which
Gov Landon sat with members Of his
family and friends.
One Of the most astonishing fea-
lures of the parade were the color
schemes Of the bands and bugle corps.
Red. orange. blue. purple. white. yel-
low, green and pink were blended In
every conceivable combination. The
color, In fact, was matched only by

the driver and passengers dressed IN
the garb of the early pioneer days.
Another feature that appealed to the
crowd was an old carriage brought
into Kansas in the early SOS. In 1853
this carriage was driven to Troy,
across the river from st. Joseph, where
Abraham Lincoln climbed in and rode
to Leavenworth to make one of his
famous speeches.
Next came q real prairie schooner,
drawn by two-yoke oxen team. Close
behind were q half dozen rigs of pio-
neer freighters, each pulled by six
horses and guarded by four outriders.
The miniature prairie schooners were
furnished for the children. who were
dressed as adults of the time when
these schooners were the only mode Of
travel across the plains and the trip
from the Missouri River to the West
Coast took six months.
One float, covered with an "old

the pioneer women, was devoted to
portraying their contributions to the
building of the West. Dressed in the
costumes Of the early days, the women
turned spinning wheels while children
carded wool for them.
Railroads Not Forgotten.
Nor did the stagers Of the parade
forget the railroads, which, more than
any other factor, were responsible for
the development of the Western
States. Miniature models portraying
the development from the crude
early trains to the modern stream
lined monsters steamed along to the
applause of the spectators.
Perhaps by way of illustrating the
manner in which the Landon move

CHILD, ;, STARS
IN MUSIC

Like father, like son, the old say.
ing goes, but in the case of George
E. Won Schilling and his son, Stan
wurt, the son is a little ahead of
his daddy.
At the age of 3, Stanwurt is be-
coming quite proficient on the eu-
phonium barytone, a solo inStru-
ment, which he plays at banquets
nd other entertainments while his
father performs on the piano and
piano accordion.
The father has been "in music"
since he was 6 years old. The son,
according to the father, apparently
was born with all the music in
the world" in him. His mother,
Mrs. Mary von Schilling, is a violin
ist. Another son, about Is months
older than Stanwurt, has no sense
of rhythm at all, Mr.. Won Schilling
said.
Mr.. Won Schilling has been a
musical director in vaudeville
houses and moving picture the
aters for years and also has
worked on the stage in piano acts.
The boy began working on the
wind instrume e mt about four
months ago and has performed

Capt. Smith AssaiIs
Magistrate Plan As
a Weak System

A plea for uniformity in the
punishment dealt out by the va
rious judges of the traffic court
was made today before the House
District subcommittee studying To-
cal traffic conditions by Capt.
Milton D. Smith, commanding
the traffic division of the police
force, who declared:
eff you have four magistrates
you'll have four different
brands of justice. What you
need is uniformity.
"It is known fact that when
Judge Mcmahon is on the
bench in traffic court, certain
attorneys will ask for a contin-
uance of their cases, pleading
that their client is ill or on
some other grounds, because
they think the next judge to
take the bench will be more
lenient."
NO SYMPATHY
He also expressed the belief that
it is doubtful that the proper type
of judge will be obtained under
the magistrates court system
which has been proposed. Con.
corning delay in calling cases,
Smith said:
81 think it is time we quit
having sympathy for the viO-
lator. When a man violates the
law, let him wait his turn, as
long as we can have justice
dealt out.
A surprise witness was Bishop
James E. Freeman, who appeared
as chairman of the traffic com.
mittee of the American Automo
bile Association. He said:
"A profound concern relative
to the large number of accidents
in which SO many have been
killed and injured prompted me
to come here to ask that all
efforts to reach a solution of
this traffic problem be cOordi-
mated.
ASKS COORDINATION
81 realize it is unusual for
the Bishop of Washington be
so interested in this subject
that he would come here, but
1 came as the chairman of the
traffic committee of the AAA
and I am interested in seeing
that something is done about
this question, and that the
activities of all those seeking
solution are cOOrdinated."
Captain Smith also emphasized
that the correction of the situS
tion is hampered by the lack Of
sufficient personnel under hil
command, and said that the strict
enforcement is the one thing that
is necessary to reduce the number
of accidents.
He said that speeding is respon
sible for the greatest number Of
accidents, and that l a. m. to q
a. m. are the dangerous hours"
Captain Smith urged no left
hand turns in the downtown sec
tion, pedestrian control and nd
parking in the downtown area.

On Subway Study Bill

Suspension of action on a bill
now pending in the House to pro-
vide for a study and report on the
need Of a subway system for mass
transportation in the District was
requested today by the District
Commissioners.
The request was made of Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey, chairman of the House
District Committee, who sponsored
the bill.
Action of the Commissioners was
taken after the special committee
on traffic improvements late yes
terday voted that the subway study
be postponed until after the city's
street car and bus lines had been
unified and the rerouting program
for street cars now in progress was
completed. The rerouting program

HOUSE STUDIES
GREAT FALLS
BRIDGE SITE
Peoples Counsel Asks
Location eB Fixed
Below in Bill

A controversy over location Of
the proposed bridge in the Great
Falls area was aired today before
a subcommittee of the House In
terstate Commerce Committee.
The bill before the Subcommit-
tee was that by Representative
Howard w. Smith DD of Virginia,
calling for reenactment of the
1928 act authorizing construction.
william A. Roberts, Peoples
Counsel. pointed that the original
act provided that the bridge
should be located within one mile
below Great Falls, the site to be
approved by the Secretary of War
and the National Capial Park and
Planning Commission.
Latitude Desired
In the bill now before the sub
committee, he explained, it is pro,
vided that the bridge be erected
within a mile above or below Great
Falls. This was desired by the Ma,
tional Park and Planning Commits,
sion, which desired latitude in its
selection.
Mr.. Roberts, however, urged that
the bill be worded to provide def,
nitely that the bridge be con,
structed below the falls, because if
it were erected above the falls 1t
might interfere with water-power
development. He also said a bridge
below the falls would give view
of the entire gorge.
Awkward as Bypass
Mr.. Roberts also pointed out
that the bridge is to be used as
a bypass around Washington for
Maryland Virginia traffic, and
declared:
Location of the bridge north
of Great Falls would require
an unreasonable detOur, max
ing the bridge useless and un-
attractive to bypass traffic and
neceSSitating construction Of
another bridge below the falls"
Thomas S. Settle, secretary of
the National Park and Planning
Commission. asserted that he had
been instructed to insist on more
lititude in selecting the site.
