MY American flag-I loves IT.!

MY American flag-1 loves it,"

from 40-year-old colored man did
not save him from a $25 fine in

the flag by using it as seat cover.

the penalty on Frank Harley of the
300 block of Thirteenth street NE,
after Pvt. E. j. Couture testified he
found thesdefendant's car parked on
the Mall with a 5-by-8-foot flag
tucked over the front seat.
Il bought the flag for 35 cents at
a secondhand store to give to my
lodge Harley told the court. I'm
an Elk. left the flag on the front
seat of my car Saturday night while
attending drill practice and it rained
in on it
The defendant said he draped the
flag over the seat to let it dry out
and had no intention whatever of
casting contempt on the flag he
loves.
Assistant United States Attorney
Albert Goldstein prosecuted the case
and the defendant was represented
by Andrew Howard.

War Clouds Won't Affect
Junior Red Cross Work

War clouds over Europe will have
little effect on the exchange OF in
ternational correspondence between
members of the American Junior
Red Cross and youngsters in coun-
tries threatened by armed conflict
Mrs. Alice Ingersoll Thornton, as
sistant national director of the
Junior Red Cross, told more than
800 junior delegates today that they
should continue this gesture of in
ternational goodwill.
Interchange of correspondence
albums and portfolios need not be
stopped even with children in Czech
and Sloyak schools" she said. "The
German Government has assured
the Czech and Slovak Junior Red
Cross that it will not interfere with
this activity"
Mrs. Thornton added that "even
in most perilous times" ways and
means will be found for carrying on
this goodwill program between
Americas 100000 juniors and H.
600 900 Junior Red Cross members
abroad.
In session in the auditorium of
the new Interior Department Build
ing, while the parent organization
was meeting in general assembly
elsewhere, the juniors heard brief
addresses by Chairman Norman H.
Davis and Miss Mabel r. Boardman,
secretary of the American Red
Cross.
Two flag presentations were made
last night at the junior delegates
dance in the District Red Cross
Chapter House. Ted Norton, repre-
senting delegates from California,

Gil in the District, accepted both

Playground
Safety Rules
Proposed
Traffic Regulations,
Parking Curbs and
Fencing Favored

Adoption of set of special reg.
ulations to give additional protec.
ton to children going to and from
Fairgrounds or schools was pro.
posed to the District Commission.
ers today by the special Child Safety
Committee appointed last Novem-
ber, headed by Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer.
The proposals deal generally with
further prohibition of parking near
all Fairgrounds, provision for fences
and better compliance with traffic
regulations limiting auto speeds at
Fairgrounds and schoolgrounds
when the children are using them.
The Commissioners announced
they would act on the proposals
after they had allowed time to study
them and learn public reaction.
In addition to the traffic director,
other members of the Child Safety
Committee are Miss Sibyl Baker,
supervisor of Fairgrounds; DR..
Thomas w. Gosling, assistant su.
perintendent of schools, and Ed.
ward w. Thomas, assistant corpora.
ton counsel.
Special tions.
The following six specific recon-.
mendations were submitted by the
committee after making a detailed
study of the 204 Fairgrounds in the
District:
/. Fence all children's play
grounds
2. Provide entrances and gates at
corners wherever practical.
8. Where Fairgrounds are un-
fenced prohibit parking on both
sides OF the street, $50 to $50 pm.
and except where otherwise provided
by official signs.
4. Prohibit parking so feet on
each side of Fairgrounds entrances.
5. Make the caretaker of each
playground responsible for the
placing and removal of 15-mile-
speed limit signs Immediately before
and after the grounds are used.
6. Instruct playground supervisors
to designate the safest and best
routes for children to travel to and
from Fairgrounds.
Middle Zone Dangerous.
In connection with the latter rec
ommendation the committee said it
was significant that no child was
killed within one block of a play
ground during the past year but that
between one and two blocks of a
playground there were seven child
fatalities 1t added:
Five children were killed within
three blocks of playground, three
within four blocks. one within five
blocks and two within six blocks. Be-
tween six and seven blocks of a
playground there were no traffic IA
talities. Between seven and eight
blocks there were two traffic fatali-
ties. 1t appears from this that a
middle zone from one to three blocks
of playground is the critical area,
with II of the 20 child fatalities oc-
curing there"

Plea for National
Booking Made by

day by Mrs. Louis Gutenberg, presi-
dent Of the Voteless District of Co.
lumbia League of Women Voters, at

ment local government which is
not by consent of the governed" :"
Mrs. Gutenberg said in a prepared
address.
She spoke with special reference
to the constitutional amendment in
troduced by Chairman Hatton w.

government as well as representa-
tion in Congress and a vote for
President and Vice President.
I'VE residents of the District are,
OF course, very grateful to Chairman
Summers for his realistic approach
to this question, which has baff1ed
us for so many years" Mrs. Often
berg said. She quoted Mr.. Summers
as saying that he is convinced the
trainers Of the Constitution never
intended that there should be in the
heart of our democracy a govern
ment without the consent of the
governed"

ment is necessary to obtain national
representation for the residents of
the District, the National League
of Women Voters has prepared a
