SOUTHPORT SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL RESIGN ms

SOUTHPORT, July 25-The
Southport school board found itself
called upon to look around for a
new school principal this week.
A. c. Holloman, who was reelected
to the post in the spring, notified
the body that he was unable to
accept the position.
Holloman served as principal for
the final two months of last ses,
sion, coming to the school to re-
place David L. Watson who was
given a post with the FBI. Hollo-
mans service was pleasing and
both the school board and the pa
irons of the school expressed re.
greet that he was not returning, it
was said.
Other applicants for the position
of principal at Southport are on
file with the school board and il
is expected that a successor to
Holloman will be appointed at the
next meeting.

Rome Expedition 5
IGeophysicaI Program
lis Well Under Way
By Comdr. Finn Rome
North American Newspaper AIIIone.


RoNNE EXPEDITION BASE,
Stonington Island, Antarctica, June
11.-Despite moving icebergs this
expeditions geophysical research
program, headed by Andrew Thomp-
son, is making headway. No i'm
mediate discoveries are to be ex-
pected, since the program involves
long-term observations Of tidal
movements, terrestrial magnetism,
seismology and seawater salinlty
These observations must be CORE
lated with others made at other
times at the other points before
their full meaning is established.
The tidal appartus was set up
soon after our arrival. A hole large
enough for the tidal float tube was
melted through about 8 feet of ice
down to the average water line
The float tube, braced in small
covering building, was settled
through the hole to rest on the bot
tom of the cove, which Is about 4
feet deep at this point.
A 4-pound float in the tube con-
meets with a registering instrument
through pulleys mounted on top OF
the tube inside the building. The
level of water Is recorded on q
sheet Of paper fixed on a drum
whose rotations are controlled by
a clock. Each hour line Is drawn
automatically.
To prevent the water from freez-

ling above the float, we have poured

tube.
The recordings were being taken
regularly until suddenly one day
recently a change of wind blew ice
bergs into the cove, whose pres

enlarged the hole and inserted
three gasoline drums, tops and bot
toms out. welded together and
strengthened to make strong outer
tube, protecting the inner tube from
further ice pressure.
Antarctic tidal studies haven't
been taken over period long
enough to serve the necessary pur-
pose yet. Until tidal charts estab-

estimate ocean depths or the

observation over year will provide

Justice Mcclure Calls
Divorce Rate Scandal

Justice Matthew F. Mcclure of
District Court last night termed the
Nations rising divorce rate scan
dalous" in an address before more
than 400 persons attending the
fourth in a weekly series of discus
sions on marriage.
He suggested to the group in the
auditorium of st. Patricks Church
that possibly a way to help the
matter was "a return to virtue and
honor and a reaf11rmation of our
faith in God"
In 1s46, the jurist declared, there
were 2,716 applications for absolute
divorce in the District. This figure
represented almost one-flfth of the
total number of marriage licenses
issued, he emphasized.
In placing the blame on the people
themselves, Justice MCGUIRE said he
had no criticism of present District
divorce laws. Declaring there are
no taboos anymore, he declared that
our morality has declined. There is
little use talking about virtue and
honor"
Justice Mcclure discussed the
small incidence of divorce here up
to 1885 when the only ground fol-
such separation was adultery. When
other grounds, such as desertion and
conviction of a felony, were added
to the local list of reasons FOL
divorce. Shortly thereafter the rate
surged upward, he said.

Theater Racial Ban
Is Taken 10 Court

A ruling is being sought in Mu-
nicipal Court as to the right Of the
National Theater to refuse admit
tance to colored persons.
In a suit charging a violation Of
the Civil Rights Act, passed in
1875, Edward B. Henderson, 40
South Lee highway. Falls Church,
Va, asked $500 damages on grounds
the theater refused to sell him
tickets at the box office December
13, 1916.
The suit, filed through Attorney
James A. Cobb, charged admission
was refused solely on the ground
that "the plaintiff was a Negro and
that it was contrary to the policy
of the theater corporation to admit
Negroes to its theater, a place of
public accommodation"
Mr.. Henderson is head of the De-
partment Of Physical Education for
the Districts colored schools, a posi-
ton he has held for nearly 40 years.

Cur|ey Files Appeal
In Mail Fraud Case

The Court of Appeals has been
asked to rehear an appeal in the
case of Mayor James M. Curley of
Boston, whose District Court con-
viction on mail fraud charges was
affirmed by the appellate court on
January 13.
Mayor Curley was sentenced In
District Court to serve from 6 to Is
months and to pay a fine of $1,000
on the charges of conspiracy to use
the mail to defraud and using the
mail to defraud.
/ The petition for rehearing in the
appellate court was filed yesterday
by Mayor Curley's attorneys, Will
liam E. Leahy and Nicholas j.
Chase. It asked that all six justices
of the Court of Appeals rehear the
case, pointing out that the three
judges who hear the case in the
higher court earlier this month
were divided in their opinions, one
of them dissenting.
The mail fraud convictions were
in connection with operations of
Engineers Group. Inc, which Mayor
Curley at one time served as pres
ident.
Others convicted in District Court
with Mayor Curley were Donald
Wakefield Smith, former member of
the National Labor Relations Board
who was sentenced to serve from
4 to II months and pay a $1,000
fine, and James G. Fuller, who re-
|ceived a 16-month-to-4-year sem
tence. & .
Counsel for Smith and Fuller
have filed motions in the Court OF
Appeals, asking permission to file

The city Commissioners empha-
sized in the letter that the structures
should not be re-erected within the
District unless they conform with
building ard coming regulations
which were relaxed in wartime.

Suburbs Must Await
D. T.. Gas Conversion

Nearly 10000 Maryland subscribers
of the Washington Gas Light Co.
will have. to wait for conversion of
their stoves and heaters for natural
gas until a decision to convert is
made in the District.
Howard Noyes, general superin-
tendent of the company, said today
10000 persons affected by the delay
are located in areas adjacent to the
District line in such communities
as Chevy Chase, Takoma Park,
Bradbury Heights and Capitol
Heights.
"For example," he said, take the
people who live along Western ave-
nue. in Chevy Chase. The District
line goes down the middle of the
avenue. There is only one gas pipe
to supply both the Maryland and
District sides. . .
There is nothing we can do about
such suburban subscribers until we
get permission to start converting
in Washington"
He added that conversion OF the
gas equipment of the other $4,000
subscribers in nearby Maryland has
been completed. -..
