Detroit Traffic Court
For Juvenile Drivers

A distinct contribution TO the
safety drives being carried on
the country is the tfai-
fc court for juvenile offenders,

County on Dee. p. 1885. Traflie
violations and attractions of driy-
ing regulations by children under
the age OF II are handled by this
court Judge y. J Healy Was mo-
tivated IN the creation OF this court
by the feeling that the responsible
ity and duty OF safe driving could
be best impressed upon juvenile or
tenders by a formal court hearing
at which The offender. in person
with his parents receive ins'rrc-
tons or penalties commensurate
with the offense involved.

President To Tour Army
Proving Ground And
Chemical Factory :

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-R-
President Roosevelt announced to-
day he would inspect Monday de-
tense units in Maryland, including
the Army's proving ground at
Aberdeen, the chemical warfare
plant near Aberdeen, the Martin
bombing plane factory in the
northeast section of Baltimore,
and Camp Meade, Md.
The chief executive told report
ers he would leave tomorrow
evening, after dedicating the ter
minal building of the new Wash
ington airport, and travel by boat
down the Potomac river and up
Chesapeake. Bay.
He will visit the Aberdeen prov
ing ground Monday morning,
spending about an hour there, and
then go to the other points before
motoring back to Washington.
The President commented that
despite his long stay in Washing.
ton he had never seen Camp
Meade, which lies between Wash.
ington and Baltimore.

column for a Chicago. newspaper.
He liked and defended the Ballet,
and a few years later persuaded
Antheil to arrange the music for
The S~coundrer' and that spec
tacular floperoo, "Once in a Blue
Moon"
Later the composer came to Hol-
'lyWood for Cecil DeMille and did
original scores for The Plains
man" and The Buccaneer." That
was when the Ben Hecht Sym
phonetic was organized. The au-
thor had studied to be a concert
violinist in his youth, and he still
retains what Antheil generously,
terms "a certain virtuosity rus.
ty, but with true pitch"
Harpo Marx joined the group,
and a pal who could saw second
fiddle was enlisted. Antheil played
piano. 1--WE met every Wednesday
night for months" he recalls, land
pretty soon we were good enough
to get a few engagements-all OF
which were Cancelled after our first
performance.
NO SCCEWY
INSTRUMENTS
THE only piece we could play was
The Emperor's March, Char
ley Macarthur tried to join with
his B-flat clarinet, but the music
was in A-flat, so we had to throw
him out. Groucho Marx was en-
Uttered, too, because we didn't
want his guitar. One night he hired
a real orchestra and packed 'em
into the next room for a rehear-
sal, and he kept storming in and
screaming at us to be quiet"
The new Hecht picture, written,
directed, and produced by h m,
was titled Before I DE-" but now
is called angels Over Broadway"
perhaps temporarily. Anyway, it's
about the big town, and Antheil
has put an appropriate amount of
metropolitan dissonance and JAM
gle and roar into in.
But he gave me a panied look
when I, thinking of Ballet Me-
canique, asked whether he was
using many screwy instruments.
He declared he never had used
any-that he had only the sound
of an airplane propeller. It was
in later orchestrations of the piece
that arrangers introduced factory
whistles, garbage cans, riveting-
machines, and Greenwich Village
tcmcats. 2

OAHU IS SHORT
ON FOOD SUPPLY
U. S. Pacific Outpost Ha.
Only Enough Food To
Last "a Days

HONOLULU, Sept. 27.-R-The
strongest defense outpost of the
UNITED States, Oahu island, has q
supply of staple foods sufficient te
last it's 225, 900 civilian population
only "a days.
This was revealed today in a
survey conducted by businessmen
and educators appointed y Ma
jor Charles S. Crane. The survey
contemplated a situation in which
all food lines to Oahu might be
blocked.
For civilian use there was II
days of food in the warehouses,
another seven days supply in re.
tail sto IS, and about three days
in homes, the survey indicated.
On Oahu, where this short supply
exists, are Pearl harbor, one Of
the strongest naval bases in the
world; Hickam field, huge army
airport; Schofield barracks with
one of the largest concentration OF
U. S. troops; n ;even forts and
forty military reservations.
Army and Navy officials say that
in an emergency they could take
care of their own fooe problem,
but the responsibility OF feeding
the civilian population, worrie S
them.
In a state of siege the mighty
Oahu Garrison might rot count SO
much if the 225, 900 civilian pop
ulation at it's back were starving.
If all the livestock, dairy cattle,
poultry and hogs on Oahu were
killed and rationed, the food sup
ply might be stretched out another
two weeks-a total of SO days, the
survey estimated.
