A. j. PARK GARDEN
CONTEST SLATED
Competition to Get Under
Way Wednesday and
Last Until October,

Announcement Of the eighth annual
lawn, flower and garden contest by
the American University Park Citi-
zens' Association in cooperation with
the communitys Garden Club, was
made yesterday by Jet Wayland,
chairman Of the Garden and Parks
Committee.
The contest will get its formal start
when the association holds its final
meeting Of the season Wednesday eve
ming at Hurst Hall Of American Uni
versity.
The Garden Club, while now 4
separate organization, was started by
the citizens association, President L.
T. Savage pointed out yesterday. Since
the aims OF both groups are to beautify
the community, close cooperation has
always been the rule, he added.
500 Homes Eligible.
There are about 500 homes in Amer
lean University Park, all Of which are
eligible for prizes, Wayland said. The
territory will be divided into I'VE sec
lions and 20 lawns from each section
will be selected by a committee OF
three disinterested judges and himself
during the Summer. BY October these
selections will have been completed
and J. w. Wellington OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture will serve as Judge
in making the final selections.
Judging is based on the following:
Forty points for attractiveness, general
impression and INABILITY; 80 points on
details in lawns, flowers, hedges, trees
and shrubbery; 80 points on care and
condition.
Prizes usually consist Of gardening
material donated by District stores
dealing in garden supplies.
Two Contests At Once.
Two contests will actually be run
at the same time, it was announced.
1t IS requested that photographs of
homes and gardens taken during the
Summer be submitted These will be
exhibited by stereoptican slides and
prizes awarded for the best pictures.
In conjunction with the associations
contest there will be a similar one
conducted under the direction of Mrs.
Anna Belts Smith OF the association.
Tor the children.
A feature Of the contest last year,
the award Of honor to the best street
or block, will be continued. In this
connection" Rene w. Pinto, secretary,
said, 1T is hoped that all the resi-
dents OF the park will interest them
selves in the matter Of vacant lots in
their blocks, as these lots detract from
the appearance of the whole block.
Why not observe Cleanup week every
week and keep vacant lots and lawns
clear Of debris"

New Juvenile Court Bill


A PPROVAL Of the pending Juve-
nile Court bill by the Senate
District Committee is encouraging
to the many civic groups sponsor
ing that legislation. A number Of
minor amendments have been
made to the bill as 1t passed the
House, but it retains its essential
feature OF changing the nature Of
the court
These amendments are designed
to provide additional safeguards
for delinquent children and to re-
strict the power Of the judge Of the
Juvenile Court. The objection
raised by opponents of the meas
ure, on the ground that there was
danger Of homes being invaded
and children taken away from
their parents, has been covered by
an amendment. This amendment
provides that Nothing herein
shall be construed as authorizing
the removal of the child from the
custody Of its parents unless his
welfare and safety and protection
OF the public cannot be adequately
safeguarded without such re-
moval."
The Senate Committee has ad-
hered to the provision Of the bill,

Criminal Justice Association
Completes Its First Year.

Asst week the Washington
Criminal Justice Association
held Its first annual meeting and
reelected all of its officers with a
single exception. The resignation
OF the treasurer necessitated a
new choice. The new members of
the Board Of Directors were select
ed by the organizations and in
dividuals who are furnishing the
financial support for this very
important work.
The special feature of the meet
Ing was the first public report of
the work of the association. The
report was the joint work of the
present director, James Allen
Nolan, and the consultant, James
M. Hepbron Of Baltimore. Mr..
Hepbron served as acting director
until 8 permanent director was
found in the person of Mr.. Nolan.
Interesting official and editorial
comment has followed the pub
lication OF this report. In some
quarters there is a disposition to
criticize the report as being incon-
elusive and Of its failure to point
out remedies to relieve some OF the
local crime conditions disclosed
The report is worthy OF the clos
est study and constructive criti-
cism. Already the work Of the
association, through its research,
Is bearing fruit. The mere assem-
bling in convenient form of the
facts which the report contains is
to render a distinct service to the
community and the officials
charged with responsibility for law
enforcement. Until gathered and
placed In proper relation to each
other, these facts were unknown
quantities to the local oficials.
This has only been made possible
through the painstaEng tracing
through of many cases to be found
In . number Of different indie
pendent offices.
This first report represents only
q beginning. To one who studies
the report carefully there can be
seen how further breakdown by
closer analysis Of some of the ng-
ures will supply additional ma
terial for reflection. The very fact
Of these disclosures being made
will surely spur enforcement on
GERS to endeavor to improve con-
ditions.
It was announced on Friday by
Representative Kennedy of Mary
land, chairman Of the subcommit-
tee Of the House District Commit
tee, that the crime situation as
shown by the report will be gone
into as soon as the tax matters are
out Of the way. He had indicated
that the Police Department will be
the FIRST law enforcement agency to
be questioned.
From It's inception the WASH
1ngton Criminal Justice Association
has stressed the fact that. 1T Is

fact disseminating body. which

every individual and organization
to have part in this work and

Iarre Shad Bake Attendance.

Board OF Trade officials expect this
years annual shad bake, scheduled for
next Saturday at Bay Ridge, Md, Will
draw the largest attendance in the
43-year history OF this event. Robert
w. Davis, chairman of the committee
in charge, said everything points to a
record breaking crowd.
The shad bake is always attended
by many Washington business and
professional men as well as members
Of Congress and officials Of the Federal
and District governments. Old-fash-
Toned planked shad will be the order
of the day.
In order to accommodate the ex-
pected crowds, two lunches will be

District Taxation
Continues rs Ma jor Problem.

Continues rs jor Problem.
A BIG-HEARTED Congress could
solve the Districts distressing
financial situation in a jiffey II it
would just brush the cob-webs off
OF the substantive 60-40 law and
forget all tax proposals which only
make ones head ache. That is be-
lieved by many to be a perfectly
good law which would be used with
out question if this were a voting
community. The magic of the bal
lot would work wonders if that bal
lot would mean voting representa-
ton in the tax-levying and tax
money-spending Congress, which is
the Districts local as well as its
National Legislature.
If such glad day were here and
now, some OF our citizens have g.
vision Of the Congress making the
startling discovery that the District
ranks high as q payer Of National
taxes and would therefore be get-
ting nothing more than its Just
deserts II the 6O-40 rule once more
Was invoked.
The Takoma, D. c. Citizens A.
ISOLATION was doubtless moved By
such emotions when 1t on last Nom
day night considered some Of tho
various proposed tax measurex,
Their very comprehensive report on
the pending bills opened with a
statement that, Taxation in the
District OF Columbia without rep
resentation Of our. citizens In the
legislative body levying the taxes
is unjust and un-American." The
report further declared that II the
citizens of the District are required
to bear the burden in taxation Of
the Government they should be
given the same rights Of represent
alton in their legislative body as are
enjoyed by other citizens of the
United States.
This association took the same
position regarding the various tax
bills as expressed by the Federation
OF Citizens Associations and most
OF Its member bodies. Included
was = strong objection to the di-
version gas tax revenues and an
ins1stence that no taxes be levied
beyond the amount to balance ths
1888 budget.

~ RlMlNAl, justice charts ana
statistics have rather over
Swallowed other civic prob
~ lens during the past week,
as presented in the flrst annal
report Of the Washington Criminal
Justice Commission. 1t has given
the civic-minded an opportunity to
lay aside for the moment the con-
temptation Of taxes present and
taxes to come.
The valuation hearing on the
Capital Transit Co. has continued
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion. The rate hearing Is expected
to Immediately follow the decision
as to the valuation for rate making
purposes.
During the week bills were In
troduced In the House proposing
to require two-man operation of
all cars and buses OF . passenger
capacity above 80, and to establish
an uniform fare for street cars and
buses at 7 cents. The Capital
Transit Co. has pending before the
Utilities Commission a petition to
continue the cash fare at 10 cents
and increase the token rate to three
for rs cents. The 7-cent rate pro-
posed by the bill would be the
maximum, but the commission
would be able to TX lower rates.
The daylight-saving campaign
has apparently made little head
way during the week. Some or
CARNATIONS have voted approval
and some opposed. Many interest,"
ing letters pro and con on the SUBJ
ject have appeared in the columns
OF the local papers. The earnest
pleas against change by those who
wish to sleep In the morning sun
light, are, indeed, pathetic.
Inquiry develops that most people
get up and go to bed by the clock,
and 1t Is claimed that II the clock
was moved forward an hour they
would never know the difference
after the first few days. When all
the clocks are telling the same
story no one will ever suspect that
they are not really telling the truth.
The Federation OF Citizens As
sociations has reached its Spring
schedule of meetings. Its meeting
on Saturday, May l, was the only
regular meeting which will be held
during the month. Only one reg
ular meeting is due for June, after
which a recess will be taken till
the first Saturday in October.
Should occasion require, special
meetings will be called or the
Executive Committee will act. The
federation has made good progress
toward clearing its calendar and
should be practically up-to-date
with the June meeting.

Slaughter House Opposition
Continues to Grow,


A N ABATTOIR may sound bet
ter than a slaughter house,
but 1t Is just as objectional to
civic and ofncial Washington by
whatever name 1t Is called. Some
OF the special objections to the
erection OF the proposed new struc-
ture on the site OF the old one
which was destroyed by fire have
been overcome. AS a result, a
building permit has been issued
for the work to proceed on the
foundation, which was previously
authorized by the building inspec-
tors ONCE.
To prevent the operation of an
abattoir or other objectional in
dustrial plants within the District
OF Columbia Senator King has
introduced bill with a retroactive
feature. The bill IS before a SUBJ
committee Of the Senate District
Committee, composed Of Senator'S
McCarran, Tydings and Austin,
who will hold hearing Tuesday
at 2 pm. The Zoning Commission
last Winter singled out a num-
Der OF misunderstanding activities
which are considered as unsuitable
Tor operation in the Federal Dis
trict. The pending bill aims to
control future attempts to establish
such Objectionable enterprises and
also to provide way for getting
RID OF any such existing nuisances.
The Secretary of the Interior,
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, the Com
mittee OF 100 on the National Cap
ltal OF the American Planning and
CIVIC Association and a large num-
Der OF the local civic organizations
are lined up against the introduce
ton and operation of Objectionable
industrial plants at the National
Capital. These bodies and oflcials
are expected to appear at the hear
ing on Tuesday in support Of the
Dill. The location Of the proposed
abattoir Is right in line with i'm
portant planning developments of
the park system and adjacent to a
P. W. A. housing development.
The case emphasizes the fact
that Washington is not now nor
will it ever be permitted by Con-
gress to become an industrial city.
While this was not the vision of
the Father OF His Country, it is the
generally accepted verdict that
Congress is right in maintaining
rigid restrictions against any trend
to industrial development. OF
course, large private industries
would prove to be sources of local
revenue as they would greatly ex-
pand the tax base.
AS 1t IS, our great industry is the
Government Of the United States
and 1t is tax free. II this great
est industry would pay toward the
local budget at a rate comparable
with what would be paid by a pri-
Vate industry OF equal magnitude
the local financial picture would be
changed completely and the fiscal
problem vanish in thin air.

sci entirely from the handling Of

This feature results In changing
the nature Of the court from a
Police Court or Criminal Court for

In the main the objections which
have been raised against this bill
have been technical and with the
claim that the bill did not provide
q guarantee Of essential American
rights. Proponents OF the bill be-
lieve that all Of these rights are
amply Safeguarded in a way that
will be helpful to the juveniles who
come under the Jurisdiction OF the
