Following the parade, Attorney
General Clark, speaker of the day,
borrowed his theme from yelling
tons famous words about the Bat
tie of Waterloo having been won
on the playing fields of Eton. say
ing r.
Il do not think 1t is too much
to say that great national victories
against crime and on the battle
fields are won in reality in derbies
like this that stimulate American
youth to give free reign to the best
qualities in the human spirit.
Wasn't this precisely the sort of
training that contributed so much
to our victory in the war?
I'VE are not grim nation. We
are a happy nation. We do not
make of sport sombre contest for
supremacy 1t is contest like this
that represents the answer, the best
possible answer and the most funda-
mental one, to the epidemic of juve-
nile delinquency that is now sweep
ing the country"
After Mr.. Clark's speech, the
Maritime Commission Band gave
concert as final preparations were
made for the beginning of the races.
Boy Scouts took positions as aids to
the Legionnaires serving as course
officials.
Examinations were to resume after
an intermission for lunch, and it
was expected the successor to Gene
Bean, who won the last Derby, would
be known between 4 and 5 pm.
Three racers were being sent down
the l,000-foot course in each heat.
In addition to the helmet and shirt
given each contestant, two-thirds of
the boys taking part were assured
of prize. Every first-heat victor
won a medal, and runner-ups re-
ceived ribbons. Silver cups, sport
ing goods, bicycles and other awards
were ready for distribution to win
ners of later rounds.
The city champion will have a
chance for the grand prize-a four
year college scholarship-in Akron.
The young drivers reported at the
starting line at 8 am. After receiv-
ing their helmets and shirts from
Quartermaster c. L. Dawson, they
sought out their cars and fused
over last-minute adjustments.
The varicolored vehicles ranged
in design from the super-stream-
lined "teardrop" school to the angu-
lar pattern of the original soap
box" coaster. Some builders of the
latter type looked enviously at the
flasher models, but others argued
vigorously that streamlining meant
little in such competition and
promised the old-fashioned racers
would be seen working their way
into the late rounds.

Star. was broadcasting from the
course at intervals throughout the
day over Station WMAL.

Rooming House Law,
Relaxed 10 Increase
Accommodations

In a move to add an estimated
10000 to $4,000 rooms to the Wash
ington housing market, the Commits
sioners yesterday approved relaxa-
tions in the rooming house and
apartment regulations until October
81, 1947
Rooms may now be rented by
authorized proprietors if:
One-third instead of the previous
one-half of the room is above
ground.
Window area amounts to a min
imum of S per cent of the floor area
and can be opened at least the
5 per cent
Ceiling Minimum Waived.
A minimum of so square feet and
400 cubic feet per person is provided
IN rooms used for sleeping only. The
7-foot ceiling minimum was waived.
Two other items recommended by
the special committee of District
officials which drafted the proposed
changes were stricken by the Com
missioners after objections were
raised at public hearing last Mon
day. These would have forbidden
use of substandard rooms by child
rem under 10 and would have re-
quired proprietors to placard sub
standard rooms as such.
In addition, the city heads went
beyond the committee recommended
ton which would have terminated
the relaxation period this October
81 and extended it another year.
The special committee included
Director of Inspections Robert
Davis, Fire Marshal Raymond Rob-
erts and 1t. Col. w. H. Cary. jr.,
chief of the Health Departments
Bureau of Sanitation.
Safeguards for Children.
The provision regarding the chill
dren was inserted at the instance of
the Health Department which felt
that children under 10 were more
susceptible to any diseases that
might be contracted in substandard
living conditions. 1t was pretty gen.
orally opposed at the hearing on the
ground that II would work hard
ship on those who need the rooms
most-young married couples with
perhaps baby.
The estimate on the number OF
rooms that would be made available
by the relaxation was provided by
Paul Miller. president of the Wash
ington Guest House Association.
Leon L. Sclawy of the District
Housing Operators. Inc, which he
said represents some 500 landlords,
opposed as health menace any use
of substandard rooms in Easements

case that he is not living in stand

WIS NActA AC NAdlAAAdtuhC
wards a letter arrived from the
military telling Marie when she
would sail for the States. Every
thing was all confused after that,
according to Marie, but she finally
found herself aboard the Brazil"
speeding toward America. In nine
days her wonderful trip was over"
she was here, but only to find her
self alone in the big city of New
York, for Billy hadn't come to meet
her When asked what she thought
of New York, she said, ITS too big.
Too many people, buildings and
cars" She spent that night, which
was July 8, on the ship, but any
one can imagine how much she slept.
The next day, to use her own words,
Il was showed on a train Baltimore
bound, although l didn't known it,
and that evening was pushed from
the platform at the Baltimore station
into the arms of a Red Cross work
err"
Things weren't all sugar and spice
at home, either. Billy, as he is call
ed by the family, had arrived two
weeks before this, instead of with
his bride as he had expected to. He
had, however, been notified by the
Rod CrOcc +bo+ che y,yoc ~, Lo,, ,,ro,r
to the States, but since he had been
in New York only once in his life,
he was advised by the Red Cross
to wait here for her and they would
arrange for the Red Cross in New
York to send her on by train.
Meanwhile the news of her arrival
had spread and waiting to meet her
here at the Pennsylvania station
were $50 friends, who had planned
to Serenade her when she stepped
off the train, but they too were dis
appointed, for she didn't come.
But of course, what they didn't
know was, what Billy had done-he
had gone to Baltimore in a cab for
her and taken her direct to her new
home on Antietam street. When the
mob learned that Billy had played
trick on them, they got even-and
how! They did their serenading right
in front of the house and Billy and
Marie were forced to walk into the
street with arms linked, while every
one blew horns, banged drums, yelled
and sang. Marie was scared, as any
one else would be if they were APP
preached by strange mob of happy
and celebrating people. But it didn't
change Marie's opinion of Hagers-
town, which was very complimentary.
ITS much different from over
there" Marie said with her eyes
twinkling, "but I like it here and
never want to go back" "And we
wouldn't let her if she wanted to-"
chimed in her father-inlaw = and
he meant it.
When Hitler marched into Czecho-
slovakia, Marie's family was separ-
ated and she never saw them again,
although she does know that her
two sisters and a brother have been
liberated from concentration camps
and are now in Czechoslovakia. But
no one seems to know where her
mother is and she has received word
that her father is dead. "They would
be happy to know that I am safe.
at least" Marie said, ''for 1 was also
in a slave camp"
Marie is very happy. So are Billy
and the family, for they are all mad
ly in love with her and she with
them. The family says it is hard to
understand her sometimes, but they
are catching on to her accent rapidly
I don't know much good English"
Marie said, "but I am learning"

Use of plastics in many OF the
new clothing fabrics was shown to
hundreds of Maryland homemakers
at the Rural Women's Short Course
in June. According to Miss Florence
Mason, home furnishings speclalst
of the Maryland Extension Service,
the new fabrics appeared in many
fresh colors and patterns, and were
reported as now available to the
public.
New materials made from plastlcs
are being produced in thin tlms'
plastic coated, and plastic sealed cot
ton weaves. Their claim to popular
ity are long wear, easy Washing no
ironing. and resistance to soil, water
fire. mildew, and fading.
Thin film plastics are being USED
for glass and shower curtains, gar
ment bags, envelope covers for bed
ding and linen, protectors for the
arms and backs of chairs. Heavy
WEIGHTS are used for upholstering
The tendency of the plastic film
to cling has not been overcome IN
all these products. Miss Mary Kuehn,
Washington merchandiser, advised
the women attending the short course
to test this clinging by hand squeez-
ing to see if the film sticks to the
hand. or folds of the film stick to-
gether. The coated and sealed types
do not sag or shrink under tempera-
ture changes.
Marquisette sealed in plastic has
the decorative quality of plain cot
ton marquisette, but does not cling,
is easy to wash, and requires no
ironing. In addition to uses recon-
mended for plastic films, the plastic
marquisette makes attractive skirts
for dressing tables and beds.
Nylon flaments are so strong that
they make durable cloth when WOW
en-. Sheer weights are very light,
the women found, upon examining
the materials. Easy washing and
Ironing of nylon fabric promises to
make it popular for curtains.
