EDiet, Is Advice
|aTo Mothers

Watch your baby's diet is the ad-
vice being given mothers who visit
the Child Welfare Clinic just be-
fore the Yule season begins.
Miss Caroline Sweeney, executive
of the Child Welfare Society, said
mothers are being warned that over
rich food and too many sweets will
result in upset stomachs and bad
eating habits for their children.
In addition to diet suggestions, the
society has arranged three parties
for various age groups of children
who attend the habit clinic. This
clinic devotes its attention to pre-
school children who have already
developed serious personality diff
Sulties. 1t is directed by DR.. Loren
johnson, psychiatrist, and is stated
by Mrs. Frances Simsarian, psy-
chiatric social worker, and several
psTtstame psychiatrists.

The Czecho-Slovak government at
Prague has ordered the Legation
here to remove from the walls por-
traits Of former President Eduard
Benes and T. G. Masaryk, founder
Of the Czech Republic.
A Legation spokesman said the
order was merely an administrative
measure and that display of any pic
lures Of present Czech officials also
was banned. Only the nations seal
or coat Of arms may be displayed
now.
Similar orders have been trans
mitted to consular Offices in this
country, 1t was said.
President Benes resigned shortly
after the Munich peace pact had
turned back the Sudeten area in
Czecho-Slovakia to Germany.

Arlington Ends
Wedding Boom
With Wait Rule
Court Clerk Follows
Alexandra Policy
On 3-Doy Delay

The determination Of Virginia Of
hcials to prevent the establishment
OF "Gretna Greens" in the Old Do
minion State threatened today to
stop the quick marriage trade.
Arlington County, pursuing the
same policy Alexandria adopted to
stem the unwelcome matrir.o1.1i
business. shut its door in the face
OF couples seeking hasty weddings
yesterday.
Fairfax County and the City =

lowers most likely will turn next.
stand ready to follow suit and in
woke similar orders requiring pros
pective brides and bridegrooms to
wait three days for licenses.
John M. Whalen, clerk Of the
Circuit Court Of Fairfax, said he is
prepared to take such a step 'if
a boom occurs" in his county.
III they get too wild and start
coming down here. something will
be done about it," warned H. M.
Willis, license clerk at Fredericks-
burg.
May Force Business Back.
Other communities also are frown-
ing on the prospect of the quick
marriage trade that was Marylands
before the Free State adopted a law
requiring 48 hours notice Of inten.
tions as prerequisite to the issu.
ance Of license, ending the mar
rlage marts at Elkton and other
towns.
The eventual result probably will
be that the more stringent three-dav
regulation invoked by Virginia court
clerks may force the marriage busi-
ness back to Maryland in spite of
the 48-hour law.
In setting Arlington County's new
policy c. Benjamin Laycock, clerk
OF the Circuit Court. announced at
the close of his Office late yester-
day:
After consultation with Com
monwealth's Attorney Lawrence w
Douglas, who has expressed the
opinion that I have the right to
delay issuance of marriage licenses
for reasonable time after appli-
cations have been filed. have de-
clded to require, in each case. that
such applications remain on file for
three days in order to give this
ofnce reasonable opportunity to de-
termine whether the license should
be issued"
Parallels Alexandria Stand,
His stand parallels that of Elliott
F. Hoffman. clerk of the Alexan-
dria Corporation Court, who acted
Saturday to shut OF the record
breaking business pouring into that
city as the result of Maryland's
new law becoming effective.
More than half the couples who
obtained licenses in Arlington yes
terday went directly across the
street from the courthouse to be
married by the county's only civil
marriage officer. Bryan Gordon.
In Alexandria IS couples visited
Mr.. Hoffman's Office for licenses only
to learn that they would have to
wait the required period. Seven
couples, including six from WASH
ington and one from New York
City. put their applications on file.
The remainder left to seek licenses

is running round trips at reduced
rates, including 10 per cent off on
Pullman and 20 per cent of on

to meet bus competition better"
Edward H. Riecks, division passen-
ger agent, said. He said two spe-
cial coach trains will be run to Chi
cago this week end and that two
sections of the Capitol Limited will
leave Thursday and Friday.
Southern Adds Trains.
The Southern Railway has tleast
as much traffic as last year and a
little more" Four special sections
are in service now with more to be
added this week end. Lower fares
also were said to have aided busi-
ness. An official said the line was
not feeling a great deal of competi-
ton from buses and planes.
Traffic on the Seaboard Railway
was described by Edward Plack,
assistant general passenger agent, as
1.-The best we've had in years." He
said both the daily Orange Blossom
Special to Miami. Fla, and the
Orange Blossom Special leaving
daily for st. Petersburg, Fla, are
entirely sold out today, tomorrow and
Friday He termed this condition
"a miracle in passenger transporta-
tion." Extra cars are being added
to all trains to take care of the de-
mand, Mr.. Plack said.
General better business conditions
and special Christmas rates are at
tributed for the service being way
ahead" of last year on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system. Like the
other rail lines the company will
add more specials as the week pro-
crosses.
The Atlantic Coast Lines traffic is
even with last year. To meet de-
mands five extras we're put in serv-
ice December Is, George P. James,
general passenger agent here, said.
-Four Pullman trains, the Miamian,
the New York Gulf Coast the Bos-
ton Washington and the Holiday
Special are in service daily.
Carolinas Also Popular.
The agent noted that great num-
bers of passengers are going to
Florida for Christmas and that a
larger number are buying tickets for
the Carolinas and Georgia.
The bus companies servicing the
Capital said they had added extras
and expected to add more toward
the end of the week. The Grey
hound Line reported business above
last year. The Greyhound has nu-
merous extra equipment in readi-
ness for the weekend rush and ex-
poets to have two and three sections
for all schedules.
The National Trailway System,
composed of IA lines, is ready with
extras and will run several sections
on all schedules. Their Washington
Office reported "a great many reser-
vations" for the week end.

Waterfront
Unit TAKING
Shape
Pile Driving About
Completed, Concrete
50 Per Cent Poured

Pile driving virtually has been
completed in the first unit of the
Washington Channel water front
program and pouring of concrete for
the large pier and shore-line bulk
head walls is approximately so per
cent completed, it was announced
today by the Army Engineer Corps
ONCE for the local district.
All piles have been driven ex-
cept a few which will support cat
walks to yacht berths in the two
new yacht basins now under con-
struction. The driving of these
last remaining wood piles probably
will be completed before the end
Of December.
Driving Of sheet metal retaining
piling behind the shore-line bulk
heads also is well along and prob
ably will be completed by the end
Of the month, 1t was explained.
Progress is being made on the
simultaneous pouring of concrete
on pier 100 by lat feet in size and
in the bulkheads which extend along
the shore line for a total distance OF
$40 feet in Yacht Basin No. l and
305 feet in Basin No. 2.
Service Building to Rise.
Completion Of the pier will clear
the way for construction, to begin
in about 60 days, of a steel frame
and brick sales and service building
about 100 by 80 feet in size and 20
feet high and Of platform type OF
boat hoist or elevator which will
have 20-ton capacity.
Completion Of the concrete work
on the bulkheads and driving of the
sheet piling behind them will make
possible filling of the space behind
the bulkheads to the level of Maine
avenue. This area is to be land
scaped and provided with a drive
way and ornamental brick and iron
fence paralleling the water front.
Pile driving crews now have driven
a total of nearly 100000 linear feet,
or more than 20 miles of wooden
piles, ranging in length from 25 to
80 feet each. More than miles
of steel-sheet piling, 81 inches wide,
also is being used.
Ice Handicaps Gaping.
Although the work is described as
proceeding about as had been ex-
pected," the Gaping of the piles, just
below the surface at low water, is
made difficult on cold mornings by
formation Of ice over exposed sur
faces as the tide goes out, engineers
said.
The present project will result in
completion of half of each Of the two
yacht basins. together with a bulk of
the heavy construction, including the
building, hoist, storage and gasoline
and oil dispensing system in Basin
No. l. These basins are to be COM
pleted under the second years pro-
gram for the water front develop
ment. Specifications and plans for
this work have been completed and
bids probably will be called late in
February or early in March.
The two basins will cost approx
mately 100000 to complete. The
present contract. awarded to the
Diamond Construction Co.. totals
$320,427. The company, under a
system of adjustments for labor and
material cost fluctuations, however
may receive as much as 1894, ,427 for
its work. This is within the $349, 600
total made available for the first
years work on the water front pro-
ject. A total of .$285 900 was made
available last June for the second
years "installment" by the War De-
partment and was increased to $780,
600 by q contribution of $64, 900 from
the District.

sons. Influenza, pneumonia, auto
traffic deaths and the social dis
eases are being successfully at
tackled.
The rush of people from farms
to the cities has practically re-
vcrsed itself in the United States.
BY 1885, for instance, 2,6OO,-
600 more people were farmers
than in 1880. The growth ofygrcat
cities, formerly taken as newt
able, has been checked. Faster
transportation is causing such cit
les to spread out and spill over
into suburbs and rural sections.
The era of the great skyscraperS
came to its peak. and many be-
licVC it has passed.
WAR SCARS REMAINED
But more important, the icoun-
try has "grown up. mentally.
People are bright and hard in
stead Of mellow and sentimental.
This course is traced by the trans
it from the Hesitation Waltz to
the Shag, from May Irwin to
Dwight Fiske, from Way Down
East" to at Happened, One
Night" from. Romberg to GcrSh-
win. from Puck to BallyhoO, from
o. Henry to Ernest Hemingway.
The war left spiritual scars un-
healed long after the physical
wounds had knit A great moral
lctdown swept across the world.
In the United States it became
apparent in the scandals of the
Harding administration. 1t was
seen in 10 years of prohibition
and the violent corruption and
cynical law avoidance. The racket
era sprung from this root. 1t was
seen in the Ku KluX Klan's bid
for a secret, unofficial, terroriStic
government. 1t flowered in the
lax financial morals Of the boom
era. And its fruit was harvested
in the increasingly bitter class
conflicts that came with the de-
preston.
The day before Woodrow Will
son was to go before Congress in
1917 and ask that it declare 4
state of war with Germany, he
talked long and earnestly with
Frank Cobb, editorial writer for
the New York World.
In the agony of his decision,
Wilson said these words, reported
later by Cobb:
"Once lead this people into war
and they'll forget there ever was
such a thing as tolerance. TO
fight, you must be brutal and
ruthless, and the spirit of ruth
less brutality will enter into the
very fiber of our national life, in
fecting Congress, the courts, the
policeman on the beat, the man
in the street"
The thing Wilson foresaw even
as he made his decision for war
has happened, not only to his own
country, but to the world.

to do with surplus population is
the acute problem OF every gov
ernment. The United States alone
has 130,000,000 people to contrast
to the wartime 100,0OO,000. ra
But while population has been
increasing, the world itself has
been shrunk by mans inventive
genius. ..
One can pick up the telephone
and talk to a person on board a
ship in mid-ocean, OF to friend

TranScontinental and trans

duced Journeys that formerly took

to Rio is mere iivc-day flight.
San Francisco to Hong Kong can
be made in eight days. London
to Darwin, Australia, in the same
time.
Whole new industries have
arisen. As industrial factors,
these things did not exist before

WOMEN'S INFLUENCE GROWS
Women have come into their
own during that 20-year period.
Before the World war, a woman
earning her living at anything but
teaching school was almost a Gu
riosity. Today there are nearly
100000 women wage earners
i'm the United States, more than
one woman i'm five. And they
vote. Before the war they did not.
D.. There are more old people,
fewer young people: Before the
World war there were about A.
100000 Americans over 65 years
old. In 1886 there were 1900
900. and by 1860 it is expected
that there will be l5,000,O0O.
Great strides made in public
health and disease prevention are
partly responsible. Despite de-
preston years, the people are
healthier this year than ut any
time in history. Unless an unfore-
seen epidemic comes, 1888 will
see the lowest death rate ever
