will rely strongly on Justice Edger-
tons dissent.
Two additional indictments are
pending against the Beach woman.
One charges transporting a woman
inside the District, and the other
charges bringing a woman from
New York to Washington. These
cases are expected to be held in
allegiance pending further action on
that decided today.
Justice Groner said that "the
question We must decide is whether
the Mann Act is applicable in
prostitution case involving trans
portation solely within the District
OF Columbia"
Justice Groner gave a synopsis
of the legislative history of the
Mann Act and quoted from argu-
ments in Congress regarding it..
Continuing
But Of far more significance than
these expressions of individual
opinion by members of Congress is
the definite congressional purpose,
evidenced by legislative bills intro
duced and passed from time to time
after the enactment of the Mann
Act, to cover the local situation and
to reach every aspect of the offense
defined In that act-and which, in
addition, cover completely the whole
subject of prostitution, however

lumbia.
"One section OF the present law
prohibits the offense itself; another
the offense of operating a house of
prostitution: another the act of
procuring q person to live in prosti-
tuition; or procuring a person for
acts OF prostitution: or procuring a
person for the immoral enjoyment
of a third person.
1T is, we think. too clear for
argument that Congress in the en-
actment of these local laws designed
and intended them to cover the
entire field, and neither at the time
of the passage of the Mann Act, nor
since, considered it-except in its
interstate aspect-to apply to the
District of Columbia"
Further, Justice Groner declared:
TT does not appear from the record
in this case why a prosecution of
doubtful validity was brought under
the Mann Act, when conviction Ger
tainly could have been obtained on
the same or less evidence under the
local statutes"
Real Purpose Emphasized.
In conclusion Justice Groner said.
I'VE think we should be slow to
write in this new chapter of literal
Interpretation contrary to what Is
shown to be the real congressional
purpose"
Justice Edgerton. in dissenting,
said:
The question as see 1t Is
whether we may amend an act of
Congress by striking out a clause
which we think unfortunate" He
then quoted from the act as saying
ANY person who shall knowingly
transport or cause to be trans
ported in interstate or for
eign commerce or in any territory
or in the District of Columbia, any
woman or girl for the purpose Of
prostitution or debauchery, shall
be deemed guilty OF a felony. = ."

chanan, is ready for more Of the
dramatic and daring action which
won her presidential citation.
Tales of bravery, skill and power

months battling in the Pacific. In
10000 miles of shell-marked travel
without overhaul, she sank a Japa-
nese cruiser, among other game, and
assaulted targets from the Bonins
to the Solomons.
The destroyer was damaged slight

powerful Kavieng, New Ireland, last
February while duelling with 6-inch
shore batteries.
She was rewarded then with a trip
home for a long overdue overhaul,
which has been completed.

Dorothy Dix Says

A young couple who are about to
be married ask how they can keep
their love alive and make their mar
riage success.
Well, children, you keep the sacred
flame Of love burning in your hearts
just the same way you keep the
kitchen fire going, by stocking it..
You have to keep putting fresh fuel
on 1t all the time, or else it burns
itself out and leaves you nothing
but handful of dead ashes that
you can never blow into fame again
Never cease being lovers. Keep
up the technique of courtship. Never
take each other for granted. Neither
one of you are mind-readers. You
have to be told that each of you
thinks the other a world beaten and
that your marriage was made in
Heaven.
Change your line to meet cur
rent conditions, and when one
charm plays out substitute another
just as potent. When wife's youth
and beauty fade and she gets the
middle age spread, she needs more
than ever before to tell her husband
how wonderful he is and how glad
she is she got him. When hus-
band loses his hair and acquires a
tummy is psychological moment
for him to get busy plying his wife
with the little attentions that wom-

en- crave. The forties call for heavy
loyemaking, for husbands and wives
never observe that the other is Slip
ping as long as they are agreeable
to live with.
On your wedding day take a Bible
oath that you are not going to argue,
no matter what the provocation.
Senseless quarrels wreck more mar
riages than sirens, or drink, or any
thing else in the world. Don't de-
lude yourself into believing that the
daily Spat Is an innocent indoor
amusement. 1t isn't. 1t kills love. 1t
destroys the peace Of home and is
first aid to divorce.
Don't try to make your wife or
husband over. Marry what you want
in the first place, instead of tying
up with some unfortunate girl or
boy and trying to change him or her
to your hearts desire. There never
was a happy home that had a critic
on the hearth.
Don't let your children separate
you. The most dangerous rival that
any man ever has is his first baby.
Up to the arrival of Junior he and
his wife have been sweethearts. He
was the one his wife catered to. But
too often afterwards he Is just the
man who pays the bills for the chill
dren. Don't give all your time and
attention to the kids. Remember
that we have our children with us

III reply to P. B. OBS request
about quilts, the method of the
"crazy quilt" of the 1880's would
probably be of help. Stout old cot
ton was cut in squares about 10
inches square, for foundation. All
shapes of pieces were attached to
these with running stitches, the
overlapping pieces being sewed
down as invisibly as possible after
the raw edge is turned under. With
these old silk quilts, all these lines
of the edges were followed by fancy
stitches of an infinite variety of,
feather, cat, running, French knots,
ETC., worked in colored silks The
squares were put together with mar
row strips of all one color, usually
black. The edges of these strips,
also had their fancy stitchery. A
backing" lining covered the usual
miscellaneous assortment of odd
materials used for the foundation Of
the squares.
