DEAR ABBY
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

married me and gave me a
good name. We had four
children. Our first baby was
born terribly deformed. I
know it was Gods way of
Furnishing me for my past
sins. Should I confess to my
wonderful husband, who
treats me like a queen, that
I know the reason for our
crippled child?

mothers frequently bear "de-

perfect babies are born of
wicked mothers. Continue to
live right, forget the past and

Reason Enouqh!

DEAR ABBY: I have a pen
pal in Holland. We have
been writing to each other
for three years. I enjoyed
learning about his way of
life and his country and he
enjoyed learning about mine.
I am engaged to a man
who doesn't approve of my
having this pen pal after we
are married. He doesn't give
any reason except that he
just doesn't want me writing
to another man.
I think his objections are
silly because I have never
met this pen pal and prob
ably never will.
Should I do as my future
husband says and give up my
pen pal or should I refuse?
PEN PAL
Whether your future hus-
band is SILLY" in his Objec-
tiOns is beside the point.
Good marriages are made Of
little sacrifices for the sake
of harmony. So give up this
pen pal in Holland if it will
get you in Dutch.

Attorney Requests
New Troffic Light
On Connecticut

Washington Attorney Milton
E. Canter today assailed the
District for not placing a traffic
light at the corner of Brandy
wine street and Connecticut
avenue NV.
A light at that corner, he
said, might have prevented the
death on January 81 Of Attor-
ney Louis Urow, brother in law
and law partner to Mr.. Can
ter. Mr. Urow died after being
struck by an automobile while
crossing Connecticut avenue.
The intersection, Mr.. Cantel
said, is extremely busy" with
bus stops and several large
apartment buildings nearby
In addition. he said. school
children use the crossing. Thus
he said. "the need for a traffic
light at the intersection has
for long time, been obvious
THE traffic officials appear
to have greater concern for
speedily moving traffic ont OF
the city into the suburbs. They
do this apparently with little
concern for those who must use
our city streets.
"The primary duty of our
traffic officials is to see that
our streets are safe"

Georgetown Wall Issue

District building regulations
| is a wall built on the dividing
line between adjoining prem
ises for their common use. Mr.
Ellis said Mr.. Wheeler merely
added to a lower wall originally
built by Mrs. McCauley to block
dirt and trash from what had
been an empty lot, making the
wall one side Of a row house.
Application Disputed
Samuel Herman, attorney for
Mrs. McCauley, argued that
Georgetown does not come un-
der the old regulation because
! it became a part of the Fed
eral city much later. Mr.. Ellis
had contended that Congress
in 1895 ordered that regulations
of the City of Washington be
extended to Georgetown.
Mr.. Herman pointed out that
his client originally had asked
/ for $4,000 damages. -Four
inches of space may not seem
very significant elsewhere, but
in crowded Georgetown that
can mean a great deal, Mr.
Herman argued.

Revenue Rise
Is Reported
By District

The Districts general fund
taxes have yielded ST. million
more so far during the current
fiscal year than in the COM
parable eight-month period last
year, it was reported today.
The figures are in line with
revised estimates submitted by
city officials to the House Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee during budget hearings
last January.
The increase, city officials
said, primarily is the result Of
the building boom. high en-
ployment level and favorable
business conditions.
Today, ofiicials reported that
taxes IN the city's major book
keeping category. the general
fund. brought in nearly 1898
million from July / through
last month. The figure for the
first eight months Of the last
fiscal year was about 1921
million.
The total for the general
fund. which also includes
miscellaneous local revenue
and the annual Federal pay
ment. was 1924 million, an
increase Of nearly $13.5 million
over the period in fiscal 1859.
The difference in the Federal
payments-$25 million COM
pared to $40 million last year
accounted for IS million Of
this increase.
Today's report from Kenneth
Back, finance officer, gave the
total revenue figure from all
funds as $142.9 million. a
Jump of $13.3 million over
the earlier eight-month period.
The total increase was less
than the revenue rise from
the general fund sources be-
cause Of a revenue decrease in
the water fund.

The Georgetown wall that
bit into Mrs. McCauley's steps
is perfectly legal, under a 1891
regulation issued by George
Washington. it was argued to-
day at District Court House.
The controversy over the
169-year-old law and whether
it can be enforced in George
town boiled into the United
States Court of Appeals where
three judges listened to the
debate for an hour and a half.
Mrs. Helen L. McCauley
claims that the 25-foot high
wall which developer A. l..
Wheeler built next door at
27l8 Olive avenue NV. Illegal
ly extends 4 inches onto her
property. Besides darkening
things, she said, the wall has
so narrowed her stairs that she
scrapes her knuckles when she
descends from the kitchen with
the trash can.
S1,250 Awarded
District Court Judge Charles
F. Mclaughlin. who tried the
case last summer, apparently
agreed with Mrs. McCauley
He awarded her $3.50 in dam
ages after recessing and trying
the stairs, trash can in hand.
Mr.. Wheeler's attorney, En-
ory N. Ellis, protested that the
regulation by the first Presi-
dent of the United States is
still enforced throughout the
District. President Washington
had provided that a homeowner
in the Federal city could place
a party wall partly on a neigh
boris property without the
neighbor's consent.

In respect to being turned

the same year, it is very
unusual.
There doesn't seem to be a

There is a word for a
