Children Arrested
In Safety Town.
Learn Quickly
WouId-Be Motorists
Given Instructions
In Traffic Lows

Automobile horns footed, traffic
lights flashed and scores of pedes-
trians crossed the intersections at
Safety Town" today as the Amer
ican Automobile Association set up
its first miniature city of the year
at the Logan Playground, Third and
G streets NE.
More than so colored children
participated in the demonstration
including eight who manned the
small pedal automobiles furnished
by the organization. Due to the
rough ground, however, they were
unable to drive the cars themselves
and had to be pushed around the
four blocks of the model town by
older boys and girls.
The curb on the 10-foot-
streets were marked as white lines
and many of the amateur drivers
showed a .regrettable tendency to 60
over them as they cut corners in
an attempt to beat the car in front.
"Arrest" Brings Results.
fAo ltiSy 0Ao oO, 1lOWCPcI, LllSy
were "pinched" by the vigilant
Grant L. Clarke, in charge of the
project. No penalty was attached
to the arrest, but the guilty driver,
thereafter, was seen to swing very
wide when going around corners.
Some Of the small motorists, even
without being told, put out their
hands when making turn. In fact,
one swung out both arms before
turning, apparently in an attempt
to make certain that the motorist
in back would not mistake his in
tentions.
Four regulation traffic lights were
mounted on 4-foot stanchions and
worked perfectly throughout the
demonstration with the exception
of a small traffic tie-up when one of
the red lights refused to turn green.
Director Praises Project.
Praising the project, Mrs. Mary
j. Dickerson, director of the play
ground, expressed the hope that the
more than 300 children at the Lo-
gan School will have an opportu-
nifty to see it during its three-day
stay there and will learn to cross
the street only at the crosswalk.
The next demonstration of Safe
ty Town" will be held Thursday
through Saturday at the New York
Avenue Playground, First street and
New York avenue NV.

Wabash, three -month-old kit
ten, was taken from the foot of a
ventilator shaft of an apartment in
the 300 block of Nineteenth street
NV. this morning, the climax of an
eight-story fall and 20-hour entrap-
ment.
The kitten, with her mistress, Miss
Grace D. Beaton, 705 Eighteenth
street, and companion was basking
in the sun on the roof of the Nine
teenth street apartment yesterday
when she decided to roam.
Playing at the top of the shaft,
Wabash, whose favorite recreation
is climbing, broke through the screen
to fall to the first floor.
When the fire rescue squad called
by Miss Beaton failed to locate the
pet all hope was abandoned.

There sat Wabash, nearly blinded
and covered with SCOT.
A little of the cat food back home

was climbing up screens and posing
for photographers just as though
nothing had happened.
Miss Beaton, however, just to
make certain Wabash is unscathed,
planned to take her to q veterinary

$4,000 Music Lover!
Hear Symphony at
Wafer Gate
Mrs. Belmont Makes
Red Cross Plea at
Opening Concert

Washington and the National
Symphony Orchestra welcomed each
other back to the picturesque Po-
tomac Water Gate last night in a
manner indicating that both now
are ready to take their sunset SYM
phonies" in stride.
The 14000-odd music lovers who
gave the orchestra an enthusiastic
send-off at the first concert of its
fourth summer season showed fine
disregard for the side attractions
peculiar to the outdoor concert hall
and acted as though they had beer
going to Water Gate concerts all
their lives.
Things which used to attract al
most as much attention as the mu-
sic-such as the drone of airliners
and the seagoing music lovers in
their yachts, canoes and rowboats-
proved to be distractions no longer
The side e-attractions were there
again, but they were as much a
part of the picture as the orchestra
itself and the audience, accustomed
to them. just listened to the music
A brilliant sunset over the Vir-
ginia hillsides added to the charm
Of the setting as the crowds gathered
early in the amphitheater. Long
before the concert began. hundreds
stood several deep in the Memoria
Plaza, and hundreds of others linec
the Arlington Memorial Bridge ano
the high ramparts of the Lincoln
Memorial Causeway.
Thousands Seated.
Thousands of others were seated
inside the amphitheater along the
waters edge between the Memoria
Bridge and the Causeway and or
the steps leading up to the Memoria
Plaza. There were many other!
lolling lazily in houseboats, yachts
canoes, rowboats, motorboats
launches and other river Graf
anchored near the concert barge.
To harbor police and symphony
officials must go credit for keeping
distracting noises at minimum
A police detail kept the boats NOV
ing quietly, and pilots of incoming
airliners, at the request of symptom!
officials, courteously avoided th'
Water Gate area as much as pos
sible.
The program, conducted by DR.
Hans Kinder, was dedicated to thu
American Red Gross and at inter
mission the audience heard Mrs
August Belmont of New York, mem
ber of the Central Committee of the
Red Gross, make an impassionee
plea for further aid for the organi'
zation's war relief fund.
Mrs. Belmont walked across tht
ramp to the concert barge escorted
by is uniformed Red Cross workers
Before she spoke, the flag of tht
Red Gross was raised above the
north end of the barge as the or
chestra played America"
Gratitude Expressed.
Expressing the gratitude OF th'
Red Cross to Washington for ex'
ceeding its quota of the war relie1
fund, Mrs. Belmont pleaded:
Give again if you possibly can
But If you can't, make Of yourself
q worker for the Red Cross. There
never was a time when money wal
more tragically needed. AS we hope
for mercy, let us render the deed o1
mercy"

To Harbor Refugees
Face Legal Obstacles
Licenses and $4,000
Bonds Required for
Care of Children
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMO July 8.-Mary-
landers anxious to take refugee
children into their homes for the
duration of the war have run into
two legal obstacles, the State De-
partment of Public Welfare dis
closed today.
Although the department pledged
its fullest cooperation" with indi-
viduals and agencies in placement
of the children, Director j. Milton
Patterson cited two statutes on the
subject which his department must
observe.
The first, he said, requires an
annual license from the welfare
department for persons-other than
notwithstanding for such children.
The license can be granted only
after the applicant shows due
proof of compliance with rules and
regulations designed to secure the
proper care of such minors"
$4,000 Bond Required.
The second statute prohibits the
bringing or receiving of dependent
or defective" children into the State
without furnishing to the welfare
department an indemnity bond Of
$4,000 Ito cover each child"
This, Mr.. Patterson said, has been
interpreted by the department to
mean that it may accept from a
reliable agency, society or individ-
ual' a contract or agreement in lieu
of a bond, indemnifying the State.
This law, he added, is not appli-
cable to relatives of refugee chill
dren or placement or care of chill
dren in any institution in the State.
Dry Cleaners to Aid.

Spring, Md, president of the Ma
tional Association of Dyers and

The cable follows: National As
