He was transferred to District

promptly started searching for some
place to play his violin in peace
for himself and every one else.
Used silent" Violin.
Meanwhile, just to keep his hand
muscles flexible, he was playing on
a silent" violin-the skeleton of a
fiddle without the sound box.
"Au you hear with this is a sort
of whine and a wheeze," he said
looking ruefully at the stringed
device. when you go back to a
real fiddle, you're rough and insensi-
tive to the fine shades of tone"
After he'd tramped all over town
looking for studio, it occurred to
him one day that he had the perfect
studio right where he worked.
Helps Ex-Servicemen.
In the daytime, he does his soldier
job in the Veterans Assistance Divi-
sion of Selective Service-helping
eX-servicemen get started again in
civilian life. At highland all day
Sunday-he reyerts to his own
civilian career
He's so pleased about his studio
that he doesn't even mind when the
telephone rings around midnight
and a registrant wants to know
where to report for induction
Corpl. Palermo tells him. Then
he goes back to his violin.

Temperance Drinking Fountain
Removal Asked by Senator

Shocked to discover that the
"montrosity of art" at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Seventh street
N.W.-the Temperance Drinking
Fountain-has emblazoned on it
"the fair name Of San Francisco"
Senator Downey, Democrat, of Cali
fornia, yesterday proposed to the
Senate that 1t be replaced.
He introduced joint resolution
directing the Commissioners to re-
move the drinking fountain and to
accept on behalf of the United
States any appropriate statue or
monument which may be Offered by
the State of California.
"On my first day in Washington, !"
said the California Senator Il
walked down Pennsylvania avenue
and was amazed to discover at
Seventh street what was obviously
a montrosity of art. Examining it
mole closely, I was shocked to see
the fair name Of San Francisco
emblazoned on it.
1T purports to be a drinking
fountain, housed in a miniature
Grecian temple with a stork or
crane perched thereon.
Suddenly, I remembered" he
continue, 'in San Francisco there
had been monument pre-
sented by Henry D. Cogswell He
was q wealthy eccentric who be-
lieved he could perpetuate his name
through the centuries by giving
away monuments-usually of HIM
self-to any city that would accept
one.
Several cities did accept them.
San Francisco. I regret to say, also
fell for it, but not for long. Some
years ago a self-appointed COM
mittee of artists held an indignation
meeting one night and at midnight
procured stout rope and as the
clock struck IL tumbled the statue
of the frock-coated gentleman into
the street.
THE police took no action. The
artists and art critics of Cali
fornia presented a united front on
the matter. What was most curious
about that monument was that it
was statue of Cogswell, temper
ance advocate, giving glass of
water to thirsty pedestrian"
The fountain here, Senator
Downey explained. was accepted by
Congress by a formal resolution
July s, 1882. only the Congress
now can authorize its removal he

Alexandria Ministers
|ndorse PTA Fight
For Juvenile Judge

The Alexandria Ministerial AsSo-
ciation yesterday adopted a resolu-
tion supporting the Parent-Teacher
Councils fight to obtain an ap-
pointed rather than an elected juve-
nile judge, If the State Legislature
approves separation of the Juvenile
from the Civil and Police Court.
Three Of the IL members voted
against the resolution. They were
the Revs. Dewey Yale Norman Rob-
erts and Ryland Dodge. AL of them
indicated their votes did not mean
approval of an elected judge, but
that the matter should be studied
further.
An appointed judge would be
named by the City Council on rec
ommendation of committee of rep
resentatives of the Bar and Minis
terial Associations, the Medical So
ciety, PTA Council, the City Council
and Council of Social Agencies un-
der the proposal.
The associations action followed
an address by Mayor William T. Viii.
kins outlining the history of the
move for separation of the juvenile
section of the court.
AS the matter now stands, the
Icity's representatives in the Legis'
lature have been petitioned by tht
Council to institute legislation in ac'
cordance with recent resolution
favoring an elective judge. but th'
PTA has stated it will continue tt
fight for an appointive judge.
1t has been pointed out that the
law requires candidates for an elec.
tive Office to file 80 days before the
Democratic primary. which woulc
make it necessary for candidates fol
the August 7 Democratic primary tc
file prior to May g. Since the Leg
islature will not be in session again
before May IA, the Office of juvenile
judge cannot be created until after
the deadline. If it is made elective
candidates will be unable to file fol
the August primary unless special
provision is made by the Legislature
