Mr.. Carroll has been at Howard

The Supreme bench has said that
providing law education for it's citi-
zens in adjacent States is not equal
right or privilege. That's what Mis-

also what Kentucky does. Mr.. Car

Control Board Renews
Protested Beer Permit

Declaring it had been unable to
determine the true sentiment of
residents of the area, the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board yesterday
granted renewal of the off sale
beer permit of Morris Brown for
14l INLAND terrace, finding his repu-
tstion was good and the location
OF the store appropriate.
Issuance of the permit had been
protested by a group of Mckinley
High School students, who testified
the tougher" element of the neigh
borhood loitered in the vicinity and
that at times danced the Big Ap-
pie" in the street. Among others
who protested was DR.. Reginald H.
Stone, pastor of the Lincoln Road
M. E. Church.
The A. B. C. Board found that
petitions for and against the license
carried about the same number of
signatures, that four persons had
signed both petitions, that the name
Of one person appeared on one petit
ton five times, presumably for the
reason he apparently owned more
than one piece of property
The board added: In the light
of the impossibility of determining
the true sentiments of the neigh
borhood from the petitions submit
ted, the board finds it Necessary to
rely upon other considerations
namely, the reputation and cherac-
ter Of the applicant and the ap-
propriateness of the location in
question"

Former Naval Nurse Honored
By Haitian Government
Mrs. BeIton Given
Decoration for
Health Work

Ten years ago former American
naval nurse, who had been stationed
at Brigade Field Hospital in Haiti,
was commissioned by that govern
ment to help organize its first social
and public health service.
AS reward for her services to the
Haitian government, the nurse, Mrs.
Louise Belton, r. N, of 507 E street
NV, today holds the distinction of
being one of four American women
who have been decorated by the re-
public with its national order of hon.
or and merit. The medal. presented
to Mrs. Bolton at the Haitian Lega-
ton by Minister Ellie Lescot on be-
half OF President Stenio Vincent, is
one of the highest the republic can
bestow.
Russian born, Mrs. Belton came to
America as a child. She enlisted

and after duty at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and aboard the u S. S. Kittery

Mrs. Belton bossed her "corpsmen,"
often 10 at time, until 1929 when
she married Sergt. Maj. Frederick
Bolton of the Marine Corps who was
stationed in Haiti with the American
occupation forces. AS naval nurses
cannot marry and remain in the
service, Mrs. Bolton resigned to what
she thought would be domestic re-
tirement
However, the Haitian government,
which was engaged in a war on such
dreaded diseases as malaria, leprosy,
Dengue fever and syphilis, asked
Mrs. Bolton to help establish a So
clal and public health service. Back
to work she went.
I'VE established clinics which pro-
vided treatment for syphilis which
was prevalent on the island" she
said.
Other clinics, she said, were Or
ganized to provide prenatal and
medical care for the Haitians and
to combat the other diseases on the
island. Health inspections were Or
ganized in the schools and medical
examinations were given to Haitians

any idea of four-power conference
to end the Spanish strife.
italian demands do not belong to

But, he added, it remained to be
seen whether British efforts to meet

not encourage adventure by war
