VETO CALL BOX PLANS
~ Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

SS~SH'NAAs Va AAaC 5tal
UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, June rs.
Plans for the installation of police
call boxes in Prince Georges County
were definitely abandoned by the
County Board of Police Commissioners
at their regular meeting here, it was
announced by w. r. c. Connick. Sec
retary, who said it was decided the
cost was prohibitive now.
The call boxes, which have been re-
peatedly recommended as a necessity
for law enforcement in the county,
would cost approximately $40O, it was
estimated. The last Circuit Court
grand jury urged them.
Under the plan proposed by the
grand jury, five of the call boxes
would have been established in con-
venient locations throughout the
county so that police on patrol duty
could report in and keep in touch with
their headquarters and 50 that citizens
could more readily reach the police
In case Of emergency.

Hordes Of japanese beetles, among
the country's most destructive insects,
are eating the grass and leaves and
Mowers today tn Washington yards

The voracious green and brown
Popilliae japonicae are emerging from

they began their life cycle As eggs

destroyed hundreds of the insects by
squashing them q few days ago, and
two men in the 1900 block of Mas
sachusetts avenue Sc. yesterday filled
a huge bottle with beetles in six
hours. The beetle season lasts into
August.
This particular beetle, who gives
all Its time above ground and much
OF its time below ground to eating.
was first seen in the United States
IN New Jersey in 1916. Since then
he has spread over II States, rs far

To get from place to place it flies,

or any other man-made carrier, ac-
cording to the Agriculture Depart
ment. Its average speed OF mass
migration is S or 10 miles q year.
The beetle, the department re-
ports. has 4 marked preference for
the foliage and fruit Of the apple,
peach, plum, ounce, cherry, rasp-
berry and blueberry and the foliage
OF the grape" The departments
beetle experts, W. z. Fleming and F.
w. Metzger. add:
Among the shade trees 1t is espe-
cially fond Of linden, chestnut, horse
chestnut. sassafras and elm. The
beetle Is likely to injure such orns-
mentals as Towering cherry, towering
ounce. Towering peach, spirea, haw-
thorn, shrub-althea, rose, hollyhock,
dahlia, zinnia, hibiscus and Virginia
creeper.
In the vegetable garden it has
marked preference for the silk of corn
and feeds on the foliage Of beans, rhu-
barb and asparagus"
Eats Roots Below Ground.
That is the appetite OF the adult
beetle. Below ground. the grubs feed
on the roots Of grasses and legumes
and sometimes on the roots of iris.
peony, gladiolus, snapdragon, calen-
dula and other ornamental plants and
shrubs.
As for controlling the beetles, the
experts advise:
At 7 An. shake the bushes heavily
infested by the beetles. They are
sluggish then. Catch them in sheets
and put them in q bucket containing
water and kerosene. There they will
die.
Spray them with 4 mixture Of
sodium oleate and an alcoholic ex-
tract of pyrethrum flowers diluted
with water. Do not use kerosene in the
spray, because while it will kill the
bugs. it will harm the foliage. This
spray kills on contact between 10 am.
and p.m.-the period when the sun
Is high. It's not much good on a dull
day.
The beetles can be trapped. The
Department of Agriculture has the in
formation on how to trap them.
In Japan. where the beetles come
from, they are not q nuisance. A jana
nese parasite keeps their numbers
down. The department is experiment.
ing with the parasite in this country.

PROBERS CHECK
WOMAN'S MOVES
Mrs. Lewis Will Be Buried
Beside Her Husband in
Arlington Today.

Investigation Of the supposed mur-
der of Mrs Esther Lewis, 31-year-old
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing
charwoman, concentrated today on
efforts to trace her movements dur
ing the three days before her body
was found floating in Southern
Maryland creek Monday.
Police indicated they would await
completion of chemical analysis to
determine whether she had died from
poison, before questioning Wash
ington physician implicated in the
case by information that Mrs. Lewis
an expectant mother, had consulted
him about an illegal operation.
Although indications we're the wom-
an had been killed, possibly by an
overdose of ether or chloroform, in
vestigators said the possibility she
may have committed suicide and her
body tossed into the creek by a COM
panion could not be overlooking as
yet In view Of the fact she had at
tempted suicide twice in the last
year.
A Washington street car conductor
whom police said admitted having
given the woman money for an illegal
operation because he believed he was
the father of her unborn, child, still
was held for further questioning in
the Calvert County Jail at Prince
Frederick, Md.
He contended he had not seen Mrs
Lewis since Thursday of last week.
Washington detectives were Cooper
ating with Maryland State police in
questioning fellow workers and other
friends of the woman in the hope OF
finding someone to throw more light
on her movements over the week end.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lewis, the widow
OF World War veteran who died two
years ago, was to be buried in the
same grave with him at Arlington
National Cemetery today. The Rev.
Louis Miltenberger of st. Martins
Church was to conduct the burial

NEW z0N|NC LAW
FOR ARLINGTON
EFFECTIVE TODAY
Ordinance Provides for
Control Over County's
Row Houses.
7 CLASSIFICATIONS
ARE ALLOWED IN ACT
Apartments Now Required to
Furnish 0ff.Street Parking
Facilities Immediately.

With the recently adopted zoning
ordinance for Arlington County, Va,
becoming effective today, county ON
cials have a new control over row
houses.
The row house question has been one
of the most controversial issues in
volved in the change from the old
ordinance. The new law specifically
sets aside zone known as "B" row res
idence districts. Heretofore no provi-
sion was made for this type Of con-
struction in any of the zones.
Row house constructor threatened
to become unmanageable by the
County Board of Arlington County and
the Board of Zoning Appeals, because
the courts. in four instances, permitted
dwellings of this nature in the former
'B" residence districts.
The results were that owners Of
property zoned "B" residence could,
and In some cases did, construct row
houses which resulted in surrounding
property owners protesting vigorously
to the county government.
Seven classifications are allowed in
the new ordinance. They are: "a"
residence districts. B" residence, "B"
row residence, &C" local business, ID"
general business, "E" light industrial
and "F' heavy industrial.
The definition given to structures
to be placed in the B" row residence
areas is as follows: "A row house is
one of series of three or more
houses or living units under a COM
mon roof. with common exterior walls,
separated from one another by single
partition walls extending from base
ment to roof or otherwise so planned
that the several unit houses may be
sold to separate owners"
Last-minute efforts were made by
some planners of row house develop
ments to secure b" residence zones
under the old ordinance. These ef-
forts failed and requests were then
made for "B" row residence zones.
prior to the effective date of the
new ordinance. These efforts also
failed when the County Board voted
to refer the requests back to the
Zoning Board for recommendations.
The Zoning Board. at a meeting
Wednesday, deferred action until next
month, at which time the b" row
residence zones will be in effect.
In another far-reaching regulation
all apartment houses would be re-
quired Immediately to provide ada
cent off-the-street garage or parking
lot facilities for each living unit.
Congested night parking problems
such as existed in Washington ane
in large-scale housing projects in
the county, will be corrected by this
ordinance, it is believed.

WITH THE RoTARIANs


One of the most lucid and informa-
tive luncheon talks of the year given
before the local Rotary Club, was that
of DR.. Frank Ballou, Superintendent
of Public Schools, Washington, D. c.,
who spoke on Character Education"
1.-The purpose of education in the
schools, homes and churches of the
country" said DR.. Ballou, "is to fit
the child to be able to participate in
the five-fold expression of national
life; economic, political, religious, hu-
man relationships, cultural. Character,
good or bad, contributes positively or
negatively to the common good. Char
acter education must permeate the en-
tire school program. The child must
thus be taught % knowledge of good
character; ~ to have high purpose
to practice good character; (3) to
have a sufficiently strong will to do
it," DIR. Ballou stated that Giving to-
gether" ought to be the supreme out
come of all education, and that this
purpose is shaping most of the cur
rlcula of schools today, by making the
child feel it is working partner in
its own education.
