o. How do capital sims differ from mortal and venial slns?s
 A. Capital sins, or more pop- tilarly, the Seven Deadly Sins, are pride, covetouSnessI lust, anger, gluttony, envy and sloth. The Catholic Church teaches that they are the source of all sins, both mortal and venial. A mortal sin is a deliberate transgression of the moral law in a serious matter. It merits eternal punishment. Venial sins are less grievous than mortal sins. They can be remitted by prayer or good works.

'WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL SHRINE"I IFS MAGNET FOR 35,OOO EVERY SUNDAY

 Oceanside, N. r., Nov. l-In this Long Island town, where once bar ren dirt lots and desolution resigned. has risen . beautiful shrine visited l'by over 35,000 Roman Catholics every Sunday.
 When Father Robert Barrett first came to Oceanside, his gaze met dreary wilderness. Fifteen years of work and .$S,OO0OO0 have trans formed acre upon acre of sand and weeds, used for @ garbage dump, into St. Anthony'S shrine, which many have called the most beauti. full religious retreat in the world.
 Fifteen years ago there was no church, and no parish house. First Mass was held upstairs in the To- cal fire house. Later on, tent was used.
 Father Barrett's flock was a small one at first-only SO, There were not enolgh to give sufacient and sus- taining financial aid to a priest with such a tough assignment.
 In addition, Ku Klux Manners then were cutting plenty of sharp capers and making life miserable for lot of people out in Nassau county.
 But the Irish never scare easily, And Father Barrett is Irish to the core. The Manners didn't worry him a bit. He laughed about their an- tics. What did worry him was the smallness of his congregation. SHRINE HAS THREE z ELABORATE CHAPELS
 Today there are three chapels on the five-acre grounds: the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal, St. An- thony's Shrine, and Sacred Heart chapel. The start was made with St. Anthony's chapel, located entire ly underground.
 Here we find an imported altar. Kneeling figures of angels on either side hold watch over the figure of the dead Christ. Walls are lined with grotto after grotto, portraying incidents in the lives of the saints in @ realistic and natural setting, enhanced considerably by clever lighting effects.

Boys Help 10 Visitors
Brings Kidnap Scare

A short-lived kidnapping scare
spread over the city via the police
radio yesterday after two boys were
seen leaving their home neighbor-
hood in sedan bearing Maryland
tags.
Motorcycle police were asked to
locate the car, while Oscar Roland,
father of 11-year -old Ronald Roland,
one Of the missing boys, and neigh
bors joined the search.
Only a short time after the broad
cast, the car was found by Motor
cycle Policeman r. F. Moody near
the Washington Monument Grounds.
Two men, visitors from Baltimore
told the policeman they had stopped
their car to ask the boys for direc-
tions to the Zoo. The boys not only
gave the direction, but offered to
show them personally.
At the Zoo, the boys got out, the
men said, and that was the last
they saw of them.
Just about the time police located
the car, young Ronald who lives at
1906 Wyoming avenue NV, and
Bobbie Holden, also IL, who lives
around the corner in the 2l00 block
of Eighteenth street NV, returned
home. They told the same story
the men had given the police.
They also promised worried moth
ers not to be quite so helpful next

Airport Dispute
Must Be Solved,
McCarran Says
Challenges Critics of
His Plan to Offer
Better Proposal

The problem of the location of the
Washington National Airport, now
involved in dual jurisdictional dis
pute between the District and Vir-
gina, "can and must be solved"
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee said today.
Two plans already have been pro-
posed by Senator McCarran, both
of which would definitely place the
entire airport area within the
boundaries of the District.
His original proposal contained in
bills pending in both the House and
Senate District Committees, would
give the District jurisdiction over the
airport and put an end to the claim
of Virginia authorities that part Of
the site-the portion on which the
administration building is located
is within the State. The substitute
plan, which was outlined to Presi-
dent Roosevelt last week and which
is said to have received his SYM
pathetic ear, contemplates that all
Federal-owned property on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac contiguous
to Washington be placed within the
territorial limits of the District.
Other Areas in Virginia.
Included in the Federally owned
property on the Virginia side of the
river in the vicinity of the District
in addition to the airport, is Arling-
ton Cemetery, Fort Myer, the old
Agriculture Department Expert
mental Farm near which it is
planned to erect the new War De-
partment Building, the Mount YER
non Memorial highway, the Naval
Torpedo Station in Alexandria,
Jones Point in Alexandria and the
new George Washington Memorial
Parkway which has been completed
as far as Key Bridge and which it is
planned eventually to develop as far
as Great Falls.
Senator McCarran said r. F.
Camalier, aide to his committee, is
going forward rapidly with a study
designed primarily to show the
legality as well as the necessity Of
having contiguous Federal owned
property in Virginia made a part Of
the District. This study, however,
he emphasized, will take consid-
cradle time"
The primary purpose of his latest
| plan, Senator McCarran pointed out,
is to keep all Federal property with
In this area under one jurisdiction.
The secondary purpose, he ex-
planned, is to end the prolonged
controversy over the area in which
the airport is located.
y Dispute Causing Muddle.
This dispute" he declared. has
caused muddle. Some of the air.
lines are not using the airport be-
cause of this situation. The con-
troversy also is having an effect on
civil and military aviation"
Senator McCarran refused to reply
directly to a published report that
Senator Glass. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia had described his latest plan
as silly" He remarked, however,
he thought those concerned with
the airport problem should, instead
of criticizing his plan, offer better
one for its solution.

A delegation of about a dozen
citizens of Rockville called on School
Superintendent Broome at Rockville
last night to protest the opening of
Montgomery County schools today.
The delegation included o. L.
Hooper, president of the Rockville
Parent-Teacher Association.
Reuben Riggs, another member of
the Rockville delegation, said the
parents met with DR.. Broome be-
cause two family physicians had ex-
pressed concern over the opening of
schools at this time and had
described the move as a risk.
Daily Inspections Planned.
Paul Brunett, another member of
the delegation, said he thought the
opening of schools could be post
poned until cooler weather sets in
and the lost time could be made up
during the holiday periods that fol-
low.
DR.. Broome emphasized that daily
inspections of the children are made
and that the teachers would be
'even more Jealous" in these ex-
aminations at the present time. He
said the situation is entirely a
Health Department matter and
there is no need to delay school
openings.
The Virginia areas not only have
been far more lightly touched by
the disease, but no new cases have
been reported over the week end.
There have been only two cases in
Arlington, Va.-one in July and one
In August, and three definite cases
and a suspicious case this year in
Alexandria.
No new cases were reported In
Washington over the week end, DR..
James G. Cummings, head of the
epidemiology division Of the Health
Department of the District, said.
There have been 36 cases Of the
