JUVENILE BILL
AMENDMENT
PROPOSED
Senate Committee to
Make Change Before
Reporting 1t

The House bill proposing to
change procedure in Juvenile
Court will be drastically amended
before it is reported favorably at
the next session of the Senate
District Committee, it was tndi.
Gated today. Lawyers on the com
mittee propose to safeguard the
constitutional rights Of those who
come to the attention Of the
tribunal.
At a long public hearing yester-
day opponents and proponents
suggested so many changes in the
bill that Senator William H. King
CD of Utah, chairman Of the
committee, decided to call an ex-
ecutive meeting, perhaps tomor-
row, when members will try to
reach a compromise.
Parental Power
Sponsors of the bill want to
turn the court into an informal
investigating body, with none OF
the stigma attached to criminal
court. The judge would be
clothed with parental power for
the welfare of children.
While the purpose of the bill
is acceptable to the majority OF
the committee, charges that 1t
gives the judge too much power
impressed several members who
intend to fight for legal safe
guards.
Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal insisted on an amendment
giving his office the right to de-
eide what cases should be pre-
Sented to the court.
John E. LaSkey, former district
attorney, contended this would
defeat the purpose Of the bill and
keep the court in its present atti-
tude of a criminal tribunal.
Measures Improved
The committee voted to report
favorably a bill to permit bowling
alleys to remain open Sundays
between 2 p. m. and midnight; a
bill to include the District in the
Federal highway aid program; a
bill raising the authorization for
vocational rehabilitation of vet.
eranS from SIS, 700 to $25 900; and
a bill to amend the safety act to
make insurance compulsory for
drivers after a Judgment in an
accident no matter what the
amount of damages. Under the
present law the damages must ex-
ceed $100.

D. {. DECLARED
EXCEED|NG|TS
AUTHORITY
Lawyer Launches Fight
On Power to Forbid
Stopping on Streets

The legality of thousands of no
parking signs throughout the city
hung in the balance today as the
Police Court staff of the Corpora
tion Counsel's office studied the
most recent attack on the elab-
crate sign system set up by the
District to regulate the flow Of
traffic and check promiscuouS
parking downtown.
Unless a street is designated
specifically in the various acts OF
Congress having to do with the
regulation of traffic, the District
Commissioners have no authority
to set up signs regulating parking,
Such is the essence of the argu.
ment put forth by Cornelius H.
Doherty, an attorney with offices
at 1910 Vermont Ave. N. W., in de-
fense of parking charge filed
against him yesterday in Police
Court.
Doherty was charged with park.
ing his car in violation of an of.
ficial sign near his office which
forbids parking within 40 feet Of
the intersection at K Street.
Doherty contended his car was 80
feet from the intersection when it
was tiCketed and that the city-Wide
regulation provides that but 25
feet be left free, except on certain
streets which the regulation sets
forth. Vermont Avenue is not one
of the exception, Doherty con.
tended, and neither the Commits
SionerS, Traffic Bureau officials
nor anyone else has the authority
to say that a motoriSt shall not
park 40 feet from the intersection
on Vermont Avenue.
Agreeing with the defendant in
open court was Assistant Corpora.
ton Counsel Rice Hooe, who told
Judge John P. Mcmahon he was
without argument. The jurist
continued the case for further
study until April 6, with the an.
nouncement that the case coAsti.
tuted one of the most important
traffic situations the courts had
yet been called upon to deal with.
He pointed out that it affected
thousands of signs in the District
which regulate parking on streets
not actually named in the regula.
tionS set up by acts of Congress,
but promulgated from time to
time by the Commissioners as the
need for them arose.
Present at the court hearing late
yesterday were Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer and M. o.
Eldridge, his assistant, both Of
whom voiced objections to Doher.
tvs contention that they were
without authority to enforce obedi.
ence of parking signs on streets
not named in legislative acts.

French Dinner
ENJOY Served
WINS ACCLAIM
By HELEN EsSARY

AS I said last week, I am gong
to report each Saturday some ma
tional menu served at informal
luncheons and dinners in the
foreign embassies and legations in
Washington.
In the eyes of the world the
French cuisine ranks first. Mon
sieur and Madame Andre de Labou-
laye, not long before they left
Washington, where they had repre-
sented France for three years, had
q few friends in to small French
dinner. The meal was proof OF
their country's astronomical
genius.
The Washington times., 1937-03-26

The details of this characteris-
tically French meal of M. and
Nine. de Laboulaye are worth
studying. Here they are:
Filet de Sole with White Wine
Take a cooking platter. Put in
it a small piece of butter, a little
bit of chopped shallot or parsley.
Decorate the platter with the fish
placed lengthwise. Season with
salt and pepper, the juice of half
q lemon and two glasses of dry
white wine. Cover with q sheet
of butteredswax paper and cook in
the oven between 10 and Is min
utes.
Place a piece Of butter in a
small bowl, a spoonful of flour,
and make a white roll, dampened
with the juice of the fish. Boil
and add a little cream in order to
have an oily sauce. Season.
Cover the fish with the sauce,
sprinkle with chopped parsley, and
serve.
The Washington times., 1937-03-26

In the handsome white paneled
dining-room of the embassy-un-
til recently the home of the late
John Hays Hammond-six of us
sat at a small table. Pink roses in
low Sevres figurines caught the
flicker of many candles. We dined
on creme de legumes, filets de sole
au vim blanc, piece de boeuf bour-
guignonne, pommes de terre ma
ture-haricots verts-tomates a la
Nicoise, profiterolles au chocolat.
Champagne was not served. We
had white wine with the fish and
burgundy with the beef.

Cheese and May Be Included Variety of Dshe
Day of Rest
Is Good for
Spring Fever
Period of Self-Indul-
gence Will Act as a
Real Tonic.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

JUST about this time Of the year
women are apt TO be down In
the depths Of the doldrums. Spring
isn't quite here. even though Easter
does come early this year. The new
hat and wardrobe is not yet bought,
and even anticipation doesn't seem
TO have its usual thrill. In short, a
Spring tonic is sorely needed.
What to do? My suggestion Is a
whole day devoted to coddling, pic
torially speaking. II you're a house
wife and friend husband has gone
of to business and children are safe
in school and you're blissfully alone,
make the most Of your spare time.
First, get into tepid, scented bath.
There's nothing quite like a scented
bath to lift one out of the blues, TO
fatter ones ego. Take pine, for in
stance; the very odor is invigorating,
stimulating to the entire system. A
pine-perfumed bath can turn the
same trick as the proverbial rose
colored glasses"
Relax in the tub Meantime give
yourself a facial. The facial might
be started just one jump ahead of the
tub. Remove cleansing cream with
tissues Then apply a stimulating
cream, the type that stings bit and
leaves the skin tingling Out of the
tub, pat yourself dry and use a per-
| fumed bath oil or bath busting pow
der-again, anything that seems 10
set you up. Remove the stimulating
cream from face Apply a good emol-
lient cream and massage gently.
Leave a thin layer on the skin for a
while. Now lie down-yes, actually.
Your ironing isn't done. and a mill
lion other little details to attend to,
but the mere fact that you have the
courage to let them ride for an hour
or two. or even until tomorrow" will
add a valuable ingredient 10 the
Spring tonic"
From this point on you can add as
much Spring tonic" spice as YOU
wish. Do a few setting-up exercises,
bend and stretch and twist and
breathe deeply. You can give yourself
home manicure; you can set your
hair, put it up in little curriers'. put
on a net and wait for the ringlets TO
dry in. You can pluck the stray
hairs in your brows. you can pedicure
your toenails. Let your time and in
clination guide you.
Gradually you'll begin feeling like
a million dollars. Apply your make
up, put on your favorite costume
and, if you have more courage, go out
for lunch or tea. Forget your thou
sand little duties. Presently you'll be
out of the doldrums-that much
nearer to beauty.

Dorothy Dix Says
Women Should Not Depend on Physical
Beauty to Hold Men.

fat or scrawny; of knowing the charms
by which she had lured men were
going and being unable to stay them.
1t compensates woman for never
having been looking to never
have to 60 through that ordeal and
never to have people tell her how she
has changed"
Then the beauty seldom has any
thing else but beauty to recommend
her. There are, of course, rare cases
in which Nature laviShes all her good
gifts on a girl and bestows upon her
intelligence and sweet disposition
in addition to superlative good looks,
but these favorites of lady luck are
few and far between. Mostly when a
woman's head is overdorned on the
outside it is skimpily furnished within
and, being good to look at, she does
not consider it necessary to make any
effort to make herself pleasant and
interesting as her palmer sisters do.
OF COURSE, beauty is undeniably
good bait with which to fish for a
husband. MY face is my fortune,
sir, she said" sang the girl in the
ditty. and many a man does marry
a girl solely because of her good looks
But not even the great majority of
men rise to that lure, for it is IRON
ically true that, while all men profess
to be beauty worshipers. few really are,
as is abundantly proved by the fact
that most of the married women we
know are no Miss Americas.
While beauty may be enough to
catch q husband for a girl, 1t isn't
enough to hold him. This is partly
because beauty does not last. and
partly because no man spends his
time looking at his wife even If she
is a living picture. What he wants
for the long pull Of matrimony is
somebody who is easy enough on the
eyes not to give him an astigmatism,
but who admires him more than she
does herself: who Is easy to live with;
who Is interesting to talk to and who
is tender and loving and sympathetic.
That's the kind of wife who holds
her husband because her attractions
do not fade as the beauty's do with
the loss of her complexion. They grow
greater as the years 90 by as she mel
lows and sweetens and gets wiser and
more understanding.
So the girl who is nobody's beauty
need no longer mourn as one without
hope. Her charms may not be as
spectacular as those of her more
pulchritudinous sister, but they are
more enduring.
