The Taker Taken

Louie DeVita. who takes a no.
ton once in blue moon to polish
off his clubs on the fairways and
greens, went looking recently for
someone who had had no more, and
preferably less, golfing experience
than he himself had enjoyed. FL
nally he set upon j. B. Concelmo
who confessed to minimum OF
club swinging activity. Louis had
to talk hard but finally he lured
Concelmo to enter the Imperial VAL
{ ley golf tourney under way at the
Barbara Worth course, and there
they waged battle. After this, Louie
swears he's going to take on pro-
fessional. Concelmo bested him by
seven strokes. CTheir scores were

It wasn't Fred Bright's shyness

The death of Julius C. Cooper,
colored, rs, of 1909 Eighth st.
N. W., who either fell or stepped

JONES RECITES
CRIME CAUSES

Broken homes and bad environ
ment, chief contributing factors
towards juvenile delinquency, are
responsible for keeping our indus
trial schools and prisons filled,
Col. Claude Jones, superintendent
of the National Training School
for Boys, declared today.
The eXtortionist, the robber, the
petty thief and the "joy rider" who
populate the school are not vicious,
the colonel said, just weak. Often
they start out in the spirit of ad-
venture and wake up to find them
selves in the arms of the law.
They cannot be classed as men
tally deficient-only 10 out of the
385 boys in the school are in the
neurotic class, one-fifth are morons
and about l per cent psychopathic,
the colonel said. The rest are vic
tins of influences over which they
had no control.
Slim, Frail Lad
People look with horror on the
extortionist, yet the 16-yearold
boy who penned threatening let
ters to Shirley Temples parents is
a slim, fraiI lad with no concep-
tion of the wrong he was doing.
He's one of the inmates.
Undernourished. an A t Ian t a
newsboy who read of gangs and
gangsters, he thought the Temples
would think me one of the gang"
if he wrote demanding $4,000.
Another extortionist from Lou
iSiana-the Training School has
delinquents from all over the coun-
try-is a tall, hair-haired dreamy
eyed boy who wants to be an ar
tist. He works in the drafting
room and spends his spare time
drawing excellent likenesses of the
movie stars.
A handsome sloe-eyed lad from
a Tennessee farm wrote an eXtor-
ton letter demanding $4,000 from
q prominent citizen because his
brother promised to divide with
him and sit looked like easy
money and I wanted to visit my
girl in Pennsylvania"
Wrote on Pad
He wrote the letter on pad
taken from his sisters bedroom
and was dumbfounded when G.
men suddenly appeared at the
farm and questioned him.

HONOR COURT.
LIGHTING BIDS
T0BE OPENED
Inaugural Committee
Then Will Decide
Controversy

Although still undecided as to
whether the Court of Honor
stands in the vicinity of the
White House will be Illuminated
during the inaugural celebration,
the Inaugural Committee today
will open bids to determine the
cost of lighting the stands.
Engineer Commissioner Dan 1.
Sultan, who is a vice chairman
of the committee and is oversee,
ing the stand construction work,
estimated the lighting will cost
approximately $4,000.
Waddy B. Wood, architect of
the stand, favors lighting the
court. He has argued that thou
sands of visitors in the past have
expressed appreciation over the
lighting effects heretofore and
many would rather view the
lighted stands than the parade.
Oppose Large Expense
The committee, it is understood,
is disinclined toward a large ex-
penditure for the stand lighting.
However, Colonel Sultan said the
bids will be taken and the contro-
versy settled after it is definitely
known how much the work will
cost.
Completion by the weekend of
the two reviewing stands on
Pennsylvania Avenue between
East and West Executive Avenues
was expected as Admiral Cary T.
GraySon. chairman of the COM
mittee, today gave the order for
full speed ahead, to clean up the
hundreds of details still to be at
tended to before the induction
January 20 of President Roosevelt
and Vice President Garner.
Other stands along PennSyl-
vania Avenue have been delayed
somewhat in construction, but &C.
cording to the committee, will be
ready by the first Of next week,
barring inclement weather.
Souvenir Tickets
AS was the case four years ago,
tickets to the stands will be in
souvenir form, so that after stubs
are detached, the body of the
ticket may be retained. The paste
boards will bear portraits of the
President and Vice President and
the face of the tickets will be
decorated with a full sun design,
emblematic of recovery.
Parade details are being ar
ranged by Gen. c. D. Roberts.
One of the most colorful features
will be the appearance of the West
Point cadet corps of 1900. They

Ken MURRAY
Says:

Just to show you that our
national game Is still popular, it
only took a few warm days in
Jersey City, this week, before
eight striking seamen were put
in the hospital by being hit
over the head with baseball
bats. AT the rate those sailors
are going after each other, some
body will soon be publishing a
book called Down to the
Sea In AmbulanceS."
Those striking unions may not
be so good on harmony, but this
brawl certainly proves they're
pretty hot on swing stuff.
An adventurous lad will no
longer start to sea as a cabin
boy. No sir! Our future sea
captains will have to work their
way up from bat-bOy.
The whole idea seems to be
combining business with pleas
ure. What could be more ap-
propriate for = strike than .
baseball bat?

HIGHER'TAXES,
VOTE FORD.
SOUGHT
Sen. Capper Declares
Many Favor Giving
of Franchise

Taxation and representation,
the strongest factors in the found.
ing Of our country, will be the
paramount issues presented to the
Congress opening tomorrow con-
cerning the District of Columbia
The question Of taxation will
arise with discussion of the 1888
budget for the District. Since the
opening of the fight at the last
session over the 1887 appropria.
tion bill it has been assured that
efforts will be made to raise ad.
ditional revenue for the city
through an increased gasoline tax,
increased real estate levy or a
form of new taxes.
Due to the insistence Of the Sen
ate that the Federal Government
should not be relieved of it's re-
sponsibility of furnishing some
cash to run the city, a House
movement to force higher taxes
at the last session was scotched.
Taxes Due to Rise
At the time when an agreement
was reached on the present budget
with the proviSo that a Presiden-
tial committee should decide what
lump sum the Federal Government
should pay in the future, there was
apparent on both sides of Congress
a definite feeling that this year
would see increased taxes. The
extent to which this will be car
ried out depends entirely on the
report of the Presidential commit
tee which is now reaching the end
of its survey.
AS to the matter of representa-
tion, Senator Arthur Capper (R.)
of Kansas, ranking minority mem
ber on the Senate District Com
mittee, and Representative Mary
T. Norton CD of New Jersey,
chairman of the House District
Committee, have announced that
they will reintroduce a resolution
calling for a constitutional amend
ment to grant District residents
the right to vote for President,
Vice President and to have repre-
sentation in the House of Repre-
sentatives and the Senate.
Capper Pleased
Senator Capper declared today:
II am pleased to see that the
District people are uniting to
back this plan. l think more
want this than any other prOpO-
sitiOn and 1 am pleased at the
reception the suggestion is get
ting from the States.
During my campaign / men,
toned the proposition in each
one of my speeches, taking def
mite stand that the people in
the District should be given the
vote, and it was favOrably re-
Ceived by each audience"
Senator Capper also joined with
the views of Senator William H.
King CD, Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee that
Washington should be given a
municipal airport at this session.
He continued:
''It'S a shame that the nations
Capital hasn't a decent landing
field. I'm glad to see that SEN
atOr King is pressing the matter"
Senator King is also chairman of
a joint congressional commission
authorized to pick site for the
new airport and to make the re-
port to Congress soon after its
opening. Members of Congress on
both sides of the Capitol have ex-
pressed the opinion that this
matter will be definitely settled
very soon.

Manners
of the
Moment

WHY is it that girls in lending
w libraries always act so much
like diSapproving school teachers
when you return a book that's over
due? They always make us feel like
q 10-year-old who has been late to
school. We get the feeling that we
should have brought along a written
excuse signed by the janitor or some
one
Sometimes we wish we had never
gone to school at all. Then we
wouldn't react like a schoolgirl, be-
cause we wouldn't know how. But
here we are, at our advanced age,
blushing and looking down at our
toes every time we return q book
that's been two weeks overdue, and
for which we are prepared to pay an
atrocious fine.
The only thing we can think Of that
might improve matters would be to
act like the teacher before the girl
at the desk has time to do it. We
could stand up very domineeringly
and say, why you should want it
back, can't see. But here it Is. do
keep my promise, you know" Then
maybe she would blush and stammer
and say she was sorry but she did
want it to fill up q hole in her book
shelves. She must have gone to
school, too. JEAN.

ABC's of Manners
For the AdOleScent

. abuses found in all assembly rooms
where the audience is not given re-
served seats. For a fairly large group
to keep one extra seat is perhaps
not out of the way. but to send some
one on ahead, as is commonly done
who spreads coat out in each direc-
ton for six or eight who come at
their leisure is an evidence Of extreme
lack Of appreciation of the rights OF
others. We can all understand that
people in one group like to sit together,
since this is only natural. But either
they should all come together and
then take best available seats, or else
they should be satisfied with seats
at the side or in back. In short, they
should keep seats that are not espe-
cially desirable.
4. Some time ago was the guest
Of girl at q big dance at which ]
was a total stranger. Stays cut in on
us frequently and 7 stood out most
of the evening. Could I have cut
in on other girls whom I had not met?
Answer-What your friend should
have done would have been to take
you up to some of the girls first before
you and she went on dancing. Then
the next time she was cut in on you
could have cut in on any of these
girls to whom she had introduced you.
To leave you not knowing a person
in the room was showing very little
social tact on her part.

N VOW is the time to think about
nj making up Spring print for
VI yourself, and today's model
4 shows a very fetching style.
Collar. inset and cuffs can be made
in pastel shade to match the ground
of the print. The inset certainly re-
minds one of a starched shirt front,
but on a figure in size range IA to AZ
has much more charming and neat
effect. Buttons at neck and belt
complete the trimming. There's no
reason why this frock couldn't be re-
peated for Summer in printed voile,
dinlity or cotton, for it's simple to
sew and launder and q sheer delight
to wear!

Figure for

Spring Fashions Will
Be Trying to Thick
Waistlines.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF YOU'RE casting furitive glances
at fashions forecasts for Spring:
If the mannequins smiling at you from
picture pages have put you in blue
or in buying mood; if you've already
"oh'd and ahd" at advance showings
and displays-then you can be sure
that the whole spirit Of Spring has al
ready got" you.
Which means that you will soon
be on buying bent for a new Spring
wardrobe. And which means that
you had better be looking at your
figure, and have the figure for FASH
ions exacting demands.
Because things are getting better.
the fashion world Is gayer, more vivid
with color and ornamentation. That
means just one thing: You've got to
be in good form for it. Because
splashes of color, riotous prints. vivid
shades tend to make surfaces look
larger and reveal contours. AS for or
namentation, a gay, vari-colored belt
is fine when your waistline measures
Is or 26, but it looks like tremendous
expanse encircling one lover go"
Bracelets on your wrist are quite the
vogue, but only the trim, slender wrist
dare wear them.
Yes, one definitely has to have a
waistline and bustline, a suggestion
of a delicate curve at the hip, no sign
of a "tummy," and & faint, feminine
curve "derriere."
Furthermore, jeweled ornaments are
focusing the spotlight on the throat,
which should be beautifully nodded
and firm, with none Of the scrawny.

drastic reducing measures.
Backs are back in the limelight,
too-decolette evening gowns have
done that-and there's nothing about

If you've permitted heavier Win

And you want to reduce.

to walk on the inside or between
them?
Answer@She walks between them,
but a man should never walk between

your opinion before we bring the
