Attempt to Denature
"Ticket-fixing" Rule.

The problem of the fixing Of
the tickets of traffic violators was
supposed to be solved by the plan
devised by the corporation coun-
sci and approved by the District
Commissioners. Under this rule,
each week there would be made
public the names of the persons
for whom the tickets were fixed,
the type of violation, the reason
for fixing and the name of the
person who had requested that
the ticket be fixed.
The first list released for pub
lcation contained the very mod
est number of Is, while the re-
ports sent to headquarters by the
precinct captains gave the num-
Der of warnings" as u and

the cancellations which were
listed for publication.

Court Consolidation Plan
OvercOmes Objections.


The chief difference between
the Seal plan for D. c. govern
ment reorganization and the
Grlffenhagen plan. as regards the
inferior courts, is that Seal omits
the Juvenile Court. Under this
setup the Municipal Court and
the Police Court would be con-
solldated into the City Court,
with the same jurisdiction as the
existing courts.
All OF the judges would be ap-
pointed for six-year terms. At
present the term of the Munich
pal Court judges Is four wears
ana the Police Court judges six.
The present salary of $4,000
would be continued for all with
the exception of the presiding
judge of the City Court, who
would get $500.
The presiding judge, who would
be named by the President, would
be responsible for assignment of
judges to the various units of the
court so as to insure the efficient
operation of all of them.
The only connection between
the City Court and the Juvenile
Court would be through the
assignment of a judge of the
former in case of a vacancy or
the disability of the Juvenile
Court judge. Before the passage
OF the modern Juvenile Court
law that court was nothing more
than a police court for juvenile
offenders with on-support cases
thrown in.
This court now has a different
Jurisdiction and is operated in a
manner far removed from police
or criminal court procedure. The
fear Of a backward step was one
OF the reasons for the objection
to carrying the Juvenile Court
into the consolidation, as pro-
posed by the Chicago experts.
Another reason is that the Judge
OF the Juvenile Court is required
to be a child psychologist.
The consolidated court, as pro-
posed by Seal, will allow a con-
siderable margin of service
through the shifting of judges
from one unit to another as the
demands require. In salary in
crease there is only the addi-
t1onal $500 to the presiding Judge
though it may appear that some
adjustment of clerical force will
be required by the new setup.
There is q decided advantage
IN the way the new reorganiza-
ton proposals are being passed
out by Mr.. Seal in installments,
The civic groups are thus given
an opportunity to study and pass
upon the separate items as they
appear.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.


The most important civic hap
pening at the District Building
during the last week was the
clash of views of the members
OF the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board over the granting Of
liquor licenses to places located
within 400 feet of schools,
churches and similar institu-
tions. The chairman of the board
was joined by another member,
at an earlier hearing, in re-
fuslng to grant the license in
question. At this meeting of the
board these two were the only
members present.
AT the meeting last week,
with all three members present,
the case was reopened and the
chairman voted down. The chair
man holds that the license is
granted illegally as there was no
reason to reopen the case, which
had been legally disposed of.
Chairman Thomas E. Lodge.
the most recent appointee, has
come fresh from work in the
neighborhood civic groups and
consequently is cognizant of the
views held by the earnest citi-
zens who make up these groups.
He regards the A. B. C. Board
to be what its name implies-a
board to control the alcoholic
beverage business for the pro-
lection of the community. He
recognizes that there is neces-
sity for such control or the law
creating the board would never
have been enacted. Just what
the outcome will be cannot be
predicted except that the stand
of the chairman will be generally
approved by citizens.
Tomorrow will begin busy civic
week, starting off with the hear
ing by the Public Utilities COM
mission of the petition of the
Capital Transit Co. for permis-
sion to abandon the Butternut
street car line to Takoma. 1t is
expected that there will be a
large turnout of interested citi-
Zens.
Some are insistent that the
line be continued, with a loop in
troduced at the present termi-
nus, in order that the new type
of cars may be operated over
that division. Others are TAX
ing the position of insisting on a
continuation of this line as at
present unless the company will
substitute adequate and satis-
factory bus service.
On Tuesday many of the civic
minded will be busy with the big
Halloween celebration on Con-
stitution avenue or trying to
maintain some semblance of law
and order in their own neigh
borhoods. Several of the out
lying sections are planning ac-
tivities of interest to the young
people to keep their mischief
within bounds on that night of
the witches.
On Wednesday afternoon Capt.
Whitehurst is to conduct a party
OF civic leaders to view some of
the street and bridge projects
under way or in contemplation.
Saturday night will mark the
election of officers in the FEEDER
alton of Citizens Associations
and the award of The Evening
Star Trophy.

originated with the Police De-
partment. The rule was believed
to contemplate the inclusion of
the names of all to whom tickets
were issued, whether they were
merely warnings or notices to
call at the stationhouse and de-
posit collateral for appearance in
Traffic Court.
The civic groups that have
been studying traffic regulation
and safety have long recognized
as serious part of the problem
the partiality with which the reg
ulatlons are enforced. The COM
plant has been made that the
regulations are not applied to all
allke-that there are many spe-
cially privileged individuals who
are above the laws and regula-
tons. This condition has been
charged with the responsibility
for the Districts high accident
rate.
The plan of the corporation
counsel, reduced to its lowest
terms, is to recognize the equality
before the law of all of the people
and to show clearly any cases of
special privilege and the influence
which is behind the granting of
immunity. There will be keen
disappointment if an undemo-
cratic is to be substituted for a
democratic method of traffic and
safety regulation enforcement

World Of Beauty Urged
By Mrs. Roosevelt

A suggestion that the world should
dwell on beautiful things IN these
troublous times" was the thought
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt left with
the Congressional Club yesterday in
a brief talk made at the annual
breakfast of the club given in her
honor at the Raleigh Hotel.
A program of music presented by
Rose hampton, soprano, Of the
Metropolitan Opera Co. as the prin-
cipal program feature, inspired Mrs.
Roosevelt to comment on another
form of beauty she enjoyed earlier
In the week-the fountains at the
Worlds Fair in New York.
Though the weight that is hang
ing over parts of the world Is not
so great here, Mrs. Roosevelt OBJ
served, there is sense of dread in
this country, too, she said because
1--WE have a feeling that whatever
happens in the world today affects
us too" Though not in the same
way perhaps, as it affects others.
A distinguished company attended
the breakfast, the party including all
the wives of Supreme Court men,
bers as well as all the cabinet ladies
with the exception Of Mrs. James
A. Farley and Mrs. Harold L. Ickes.
Mrs. Edward R. Burke, Congress
sional Club president, presided and
introduced Mrs. Roosevelt.

Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Hear Talks
On Suffrage Need

Several prominent civic leaders
enlivened the last meeting Of the
season of the Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association last night with
timely remarks urging the need Of
local suffrage in the District.
Leading the discussions, David
Babp, a member of the association
and secretary of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations, described the
situation of voteless Washington as
"acute" and warned that children
of District residents faced a dark
future" unless given a vote and the
right to participate In their govern
ment. He urged support of the post
card campaign of the Citizens Con-
ference on District Suffrage, which
is distributing cards to organiza-
tions and individuals in the city ad-
dressed to Chairman Randolph Of
the House District Committee, urg7.
ing him to include some form OF
District suffrage in the Griffen-
hagen report.
Miss Eta L. Taggart, president OF
the Washingtonians, another civic
organization, lauded Theodore w
Noyes, editor of The Star and char
man of the Citizens Joint Commit
tee on National Representation, and
his associates for their splendid help
in trying to obtain national repre-
sentation for the District of Colum-
bia. Miss Taggart also commended
William A. Maio, president Of the
Southeast Citizens Association and
the Southeast Council, who. she said,
was one of the first to start loca,
suffrage movement in the District.
She scored the practice of out-of-
town people being given the prefer
ence to District jobs, adding that
this condition would be remedied
with vote here.
Selden M Ely, in behalf of the
suffrage question, said he believed
the time had come when the District
of Columbia should be part OF
the United States"
Remarks were also made by Leon
Pretzfelder, chairman of the asso-
cations Law and Legislation Com
mittee.
Another guest speaker, Mrs. Edna
L. Johnston, president of the Kalo-
rama Citizens Association, dis
cussed the transportation service in
her section and the Connecticut
avenue communities. Objection was
made by Mrs. Johnston to the con-
gestion of buses and infrequent serv-
ice. AS a result of her remarks,
the secretary was instructed to write
the Capital Transit Co. and the
Public Utilities Commission inform
ing them of the objections men,
toned.
Following the meeting, held in
the parish hall of All Souls Church
the association was entertained by
moving. pictures, presented by
Charles M. Fyfe, managing director
of the Boys Club of Washington.

ting qualities of modern architec- ture as an extra salesman of prime importance.
 Apparently modernization begets modernization, for as more and more stores on Main street are improved, modernization tends to become not a question of choice but of sur- vival.
 "Modernization of the nation s main streets accounts for a sizable chunk of total additions, alterations and repairs. AS market, modern ization is relatively steady. It rises less, falls less, and recovers earlier than the market for new building"

 The Architectural Forum states that an analysis of a typical Amer ican city shows that the annual modernization bill is a little more than tenth of gross rentals in the main business district.
 Other points revealed by such an analysis, according to the magazine are that the last three years have been the biggest modernization years in Main streets history; that this accelerated pace sa far shows no signs of falling of; and that mod ernization during vacancies invari- ably precedes reoccupation of the premises.
